The seven grand duchies were Helen Tina's Helon Duchy, Alec Ambridge's Bavenden Duchy, Burt Zili's Boulet Duchy, Randi Allard's Bonton Duchy, Benedict Sackville's Narsen Duchy, Algie Kirrance's Etman Duchy, and Nehem Beige's Bisli Duchy.
The total area of the seven grand duchies added up wasn't much smaller than the Lancelot Empire. However, the seven grand duchies were at war with each other all year round, seemingly showing no signs of stopping. Currently, Helon Duchy, Narsen Duchy, Etman Duchy, and Bonton Duchy were participating in this battle outside of Helon Duchy's borders.
Grand Duke Benedict of Narsen Duchy was in the prime of his life and coveted Helen's beauty. In order to win the beauty's heart, he joined forces with Helon Duchy to help her resist the invasion of Etman Duchy and Bonton Duchy.
Benedict coveted Helen's beauty and had the idea of obtaining all the beauty of the human nation. However, Helen had always adopted a lukewarm attitude towards Benedict Sackville's crazy pursuit. This made Benedict Sackville's heart itch, and he tried his best to curry favor with her. He often led Narsen Duchy's army to lead the charge at Helen's invitation.
Helen of the Helon Duchy on the bald mountain was wearing a fiery red magic robe. There was a profound magic pattern on her bulging chest, and her long red hair fluttered in the wind. Complemented by the red fire phoenix beneath her, Helen Tina was as dazzling as a goddess of fire.
On the hillside below her, Benedict of the Narsen Duchy stood in front of a luxurious carriage in an exquisite and clean suit. With a calm and confident smile on his face, he looked at the soldiers of Etman and the Bonton Duchy who were attacking the bare mountain.
Han Shuo flew above the mountain and glanced at the battle that was in full swing. He thought of the location where Troda's wealth was hidden and was momentarily stunned.
It was different from the valley where the mithril mine was produced last time. This bald mountain was made purely from a kind of sturdy limestone. For the earth elite zombie, he could move unimpeded through the soft soil, but the entire bald mountain made of limestone wasn't something he could enter as he pleased.
If the metal elite zombie of the place of extreme metal could be refined, the metal elite zombie that could pierce through mountains and split rocks would be able to easily charge in. Unfortunately, the whereabouts of the place of extreme metal had yet to be determined. Naturally, the metal elite zombie had no way of obtaining it. Therefore, as he stared at the unending battle on the bald mountain, Han Shuo could only think of other methods.
Standing high in the sky and looking down at the bald mountain, Han Shuo furrowed his brows as he pondered whether or not he should take the opportunity to sneak in. Troda's wealth was hidden under Helen Tina, and Benedict stood beside the carriage. The reason why Troda hadn't stored all of his wealth in his space ring was because he was afraid that someone would assassinate him and obtain his space ring.
This Troda was also sufficiently dissolute. He kept three mistresses and two sons in the Helon Duchy. One of the mistresses he trusted the most had already been properly arranged by him. Once the news of his death was known by that mistress, the treasure at the bottom of this bald mountain would become the pillar of support for that mistress and his son's next life.
Therefore, before the news reached that woman's ears, Han Shuo still needed to plunder the four hundred thousand gold coins worth of treasures as soon as possible.
Just as Han Shuo was contemplating the method below, Grand Duke Helen Tina of Helon Duchy, who was being looked down at by Han Shuo, actually sensed Han Shuo's gaze. Grand Duke Helen furrowed her brows, and a magic staff embedded with a large piece of firespark stone suddenly appeared in her hand.
This magic staff had an amplifying effect on fire magic. Helen raised it and pointed it at Han Shuo. Raging flames condensed into five human-sized fireballs that swept towards Han Shuo in the sky.
"Hateful woman!" Han Shuo cursed in a low voice. He extended his left hand and nimbly moved his five fingers. Faint purple flames wove into a profound ice net, trapping all five enormous fireballs within.
He used the Mystical Glacial Spellfire's purple magic flames to form a magic net, wrapping the five fireballs and causing them to emit sizzling smoke. The extremely cold air instantly ground away all the fire magic elements in the five fireballs. Scattered sparks slowly floated down, forcing Helen to raise up a magic barrier.
"Who is it?" Helen Tina looked up at the sky and only saw a black dot under the sunlight. When she discovered that the fireballs had been easily dissolved, she immediately put away her contempt and asked cautiously.
Snorting coldly, Han Shuo didn't pay attention to Helen Tina and flew towards the back of the bald mountain. He planned to temporarily leave this area and think of a way later. Behind the desolate mountain, Han Shuo had already seen some soldiers of Helon City. They seemed to be pushing some kind of enormous war equipment up the mountain. They were planning to ambush and kill some soldiers to change their clothes and join the ongoing battle.
When Helen Tina saw that Han Shuo only snorted coldly and flew towards the back of the mountain without another word, she was alarmed. She shouted at Benedict below, "You guard this place well. There are magic cannons being pushed behind the mountain. A dangerous person has gone over there. I must immediately go and take a look."
Without waiting for Benedict Sackville's response, Helen Tina patted the fiery phoenix beneath her. This super rank magical beast fiery phoenix's gorgeous and bright feathers fluttered in the air like ribbons. Wearing a fiery red magic robe, Helen Tina flew towards the back of the mountain like a raging inferno.
These magic cannons contained strange magic elements that were repelled by space rings. They couldn't be directly stored in space rings and could only be slowly pushed by manpower.
Helen Tina had planned for this battle for a long time. Her trump card was to use this batch of magic cannons and the high terrain of the mountain to bombard the area below. After preparing for such a long time and finally tricking the two enemy duchies to this place with great difficulty, Helen Tina absolutely wouldn't let anyone ruin her plan. Therefore, when she saw Han Shuo fly towards the back of the mountain, she immediately spared no effort to stop him.
Han Shuo had just flown to the back of the mountain when a fiery red shadow swiftly arrived before he could carry out his plan. Five slender fire snakes, each seven meters long and lifelike, wriggled their slender bodies in the air, splitting into five different directions as they coiled towards Han Shuo.
The "Dance of the Fire Snakes" spell could only be cast by a fire archmage. With the help of the Firespark Stone embedded staff in her hand and the mental strength amplification ring on Helen Tina's left hand, the "Dance of the Fire Snakes" spell that an archmage could originally only release three fire snakes was now able to release five at the same time.
The five fire snakes wriggled through the air, the scorching heat causing the air to crackle. The surging red flames were so fierce that it seemed as if they would immediately burn Han Shuo into charcoal if they approached him.
Han Shuo was stunned. He had originally looked down on Helen Tina, thinking that she was an ambitious woman who only knew how to scheme and use her beauty to get ahead. He hadn't expected that she actually had real skills. Her astonishing strength and extraordinary beauty gave Han Shuo quite a shock.
The snow-white bone spurs bloomed like flowers, and the hard white bones became soft. Under Han Shuo's nimble manipulation, they weaved into an enormous bone shield. Endless darkness covered the scorching sun, and the dark fog also covered the area just as the bone shield appeared in front of Helen Tina.
The red glow of the five fire snakes wasn't enough to illuminate the dark fog that covered even the scorching sun. When the five fire snakes lost their target and coiled around the bone shield, roasting the hard bone shield until it was pitch-black, Helen Tina suddenly couldn't feel a trace of Han Shuo's presence at all.
The dark fog disappeared as quickly as it had come. A light breeze blew past, and the thick fog that had covered the sky just now surprisingly faded away. When the rays of the scorching sun once again shone on the small mountain, Han Shuo's figure had disappeared without a trace in the clear sky. All that was left was the pitch-black bone shield that had lost the support of its magical power. It scattered into dark bone fragments and fell to the ground.
Taking out a white glove with silver threads embroidered on it, Helen Tina casually grabbed a piece of broken bone that had fallen to the ground. She glanced at the bone in her hand that was as black as ink, and her bright eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly. She muttered to herself, "It's actually a damned necromancer. Where did this person come from?"
After muttering to herself for a while, Helen Tina didn't have any clues. She naturally assumed that Han Shuo had taken advantage of the dark fog to escape. Turning her head back to look at the group of soldiers still busily pushing the magic cannons, Helen Tina shouted delicately, "Hurry up, move all these magic cannons up the mountain."
The shirtless soldiers who were immersed in their work all took the time to shout "Yes!" when they heard this. They secretly glanced at the goddess of their hearts, intoxicated. Their bodies seemed to be filled with an indescribable energy, and their strength suddenly increased by quite a bit.
In a corner of a large boulder, a soldier who was holding onto the rack of the magic cannons revealed a trace of playfulness in his eyes. He was like a ferocious beast hibernating in the dark, looking at Helen Tina as if she were its prey. He laughed softly, "Helon Duchy, Helen Tina. Brettel City's plundering has fattened you guys. It's time for you to shed some blood."
