Due to the fact that the demon alliance's plan had completely failed, and no one had kept the news under wraps, the news of Alex's survival quickly spread throughout Rodu as if it had sprouted wings. Anyone with a certain level of status was made aware of this, and it created quite a stir.
Alex had already become a special symbol in the Roth Empire. He was the invincible War God on the border, and the dragon-slaying warrior who could fly into the sky and slay dragons. He was extremely revered in the hearts of the common people.
He was the pride of the human race, and he had declared his sovereignty to the heavens, forcing the giant dragons to bow their heads to humans, who they had always viewed as ants.
Three years ago, Alex had passed away, and the entire empire was in mourning. Long lines of mourners from all over the Roth Empire stretched for close to 10 kilometers, demonstrating just how much he was loved and revered.
Everyone believed that Alex had already passed away as with his personality, there was no way that he would remain silent for three years.
Who would have thought that Alex would appear again amid the thunderstorm tonight, and announce to the world that he was back!
Many people in Rodu were destined to be sleepless that night.
"Your Highness, Alex has appeared and rescued Irina. The plan has failed."
A black figure appeared outside the attic. Rainwater was dripping down from his clothes, and he appeared to be in quite a sorry state.
Sean looked at the rain in silence for a long while before slowly turning around, and saying in a cold voice, "Kill some people and cut ties with me."
Quine's expression stiffened, but he still immediately replied, "Yes!" before disappearing into the rainy night again.
"Alex, you're always the one who foils my plans. As expected, I shouldn't have kicked you out of that street three years ago." Sean looked at the rainy night sky of Rodu with a ferocious expression.
…
"Benson is dead."
On the top floor of the palace's tall tower, a figure silently appeared, and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Very good."
Andre was still looking outside, and a sense of pride welled up in his heart as he chortled, "I've been waiting for this day for several decades. If I can see the border of the Roth Empire as the border of the Norland Continent before I die, my name will forever be etched into the history of the Norland Continent."
The black figure remained silent.
"It's time to form a new alliance with the elves. These fools are excellent cannon fodder."
Andre retracted his gaze and walked down the stairs.
…
"The ice cream cake is really delicious, but where did Father go? Isn't it a pity that I'm the only one eating such a delicious cake? "
In the kitchen, Ai Mi looked at the ice cream cake that had a corner dug out with a look of pity on her face.
The base of the ice cream cake had its own cooling function. Although the cooling effect couldn't reach zero degrees Celsius after leaving the fridge, it was still quite effective in delaying the melting of the ice cream cake. At least for now, the ice cream cake didn't show any signs of melting.
"Meow meow ~"
Ugly Duckling circled around Amy's chair over and over again, and looked up at the ice cream cake on the table with yearning in its eyes. It really loved ice cream, but it hadn't been able to eat it after coming to Rodu. Who would have thought that there would be such a massive ice cream cake here? It was even larger than its body, so it had to be super delicious.
Amy looked down at Ugly Duckling with a serious expression, and said, "Father said that eating too much ice cream will make you fat. Ugly Duckling, you're already so fat; if you keep eating ice cream, you'll become a roast goose soon."
"Meow!"
Ugly Duckling withdrew its head in a horrified manner, but it still couldn't get rid of the yearning in its eyes as it stared at the ice cream on the table. It was looking at Amy with a pitiable expression, and it was as if tears were about to flow from its eyes.
"Alright, then I'll only have a small bite," Amy said with a resigned expression.
"Meow meow!"
Ugly Duckling rubbed its little head against Amy's calf with excitement.
"You're going to die from being fat." Amy stood up and placed a small plate on the ground. She then used a small knife to slice off a small piece of ice cream cake with some difficulty, and placed it onto the plate before carefully placing it on the ground.
The triangular cake was covered with pink ice cream, and the creamy yellow cake could be seen through the side of the cut. There was also half a strawberry on top, and the aroma of the cake and strawberry wafted toward Ugly Duckling, making its eyes immediately light up.
It slowly made its way over to the plate, and circled it around the plate twice before reaching out with its little pink paw to try and touch it. However, its paw stopped halfway, and it slowly withdrew its paw. It stuck its little pink nose forward to take a sniff, and a human-like elated smile appeared on its little face as it prepared to lick the cake.
Right at this moment, a faint golden light lit up in the kitchen.
Ugly Duckling faltered slightly upon seeing this.
Two figures appeared in the room.
Splat!
A pair of large feet appeared right above the cake, and the cake was squashed flat. Ice cream splattered all over Ugly Duckling's face, and it looked at the empty plate with confusion and grief.
"Father! Big Sister Irina! "
Amy was elated to see the two figures that had suddenly appeared in the room, and her eyes were filled with incredulity.
Meg's foot slipped, and he had to grab onto a nearby table to prevent himself from falling. He looked down at the flattened ice cream cake, then met Ugly Duckling's aggrieved gaze, and he was immediately struck by a sense of guilt. He withdrew his foot with an awkward expression, and turned to Amy with a gentle smile as he said, "We're back, Amy."
The battle that night had been very short, but it had been extremely perilous.
The battle with Benson had been fraught with peril, and the final figure that had appeared on the fifth street had most likely come from the royal palace. He was an opponent that even Alex couldn't fathom as no one had ever seen him in action, and no one was even sure if he really existed.
However, the fact that Andre had been able to sit on the throne for several decades seemed to indicate everything.
He was sure that if he hadn't changed the direction of his final attack toward Josh, it would've been very difficult for him to leave the fifth street after losing his peak power.
However, he was also sure of one thing, and that was that Andre had already allowed him to live. Meg didn't feel that there was anything to be grateful for. He was more valuable to the Roth Empire alive than dead.
Meg was feeling very fortunate that he had been able to return alive tonight.
Of course, the most important thing was that he had successfully moved to another location and avoided Irina's barrage of questions …
Those questions were extremely perilous, and Meg didn't dare to answer them for his own safety.
