It was snowing.
Shier looked at the snow-covered Edelweiss Mountains in the distance and reached out his hand to gently comfort his warhorse.
Behind Shier was a fully armed army. They were quietly hiding in the dense forest at the foot of the Edelweiss Mountains.
The interface of the weave appeared before Shier’s eyes. A message group called ‘Rescue Team’was constantly refreshing with all kinds of news.
Shier originally wanted to personally infiltrate the ruins to destroy the judge’s stronghold, but as the king, it was too risky for her to personally go deep into the enemy’s hinterland.
Under the recommendation of the fortress’generals, six elite assassins brought a precious spatial transfer scroll into the ruins below the Edelweiss mountain range.
As long as they rescued all the captives in the dungeon, Shier would lead the army to destroy the ruins.
‘Your Majesty, we have entered the underground ruins. There are many enemy guards in the ruins.’
‘Don’t do it! Those people… are not the judges. They are just controlled by them. They are also victims.’
Ravel’s message instantly popped up in the group.
‘you guys go to the side from the entrance. There should be a secret door there. After infusing magic power into a glowing stone, it will lead to the lower level.’
He guided the team further in the group.
Shier quietly read through all the messages in the group. It was not the first time she had experienced the convenience of sending messages on the battlefield.
This plan was also based on the communication of messages.
“Your Majesty, there might be demons in this mountain range.”
A general riding a horse came to Shier’s side and said in a low voice.
“Demons?”
Shier subconsciously looked to his left. Not far from this forest was a huge rift valley. On the other side of the Rift Valley was the frost plain.
The demons and the soldiers of the frost country had fought on the battlefield for more than a hundred years.
“My father once led an army to bypass the Edelweiss Mountain Range and launch a surprise attack on those demons. However, after that army entered the Edelweiss mountain range, it… disappeared. Only a small number of survivors were left.”
After hesitating for a while, the general finally revealed this ‘family scandal’.
“Did those survivors say that it was done by demons?”
After becoming the king, Shier had been dealing with the internal affairs of the frost country. He had never participated in the previous war between the fortress and demons.
However, the Edelweiss mountain range was too far away from the demon fortress. It was too far for the frost country to risk a great deal of risk and energy to build a defensive fortification here.
“Definitely. After my father came back, he became a bit abnormal. He kept repeating the phrase ‘the demons are coming’,”the general said as he tightened his grip on the reins.
Shier could feel that the general’s voice was filled with naked hatred towards demons. This was the most normal way of thinking about demons in the frost country.
The hatred that had accumulated for hundreds of years among the people could not be resolved so easily. Shier did not have this kind of hatred… because the first demon she knew was called Jose.
“Those who lurk in the mountains are the judges. They are not demons, but they are more suitable to be called demons.”
Shier could only think of using these words to refute these generals. Halfway through her words, the Warhorse beneath her became restless again. It kept stepping on its hooves in an attempt to escape.
Shier could only keep patting its neck to appease its emotions.
A strange sense of crisis rose in Shier’s heart. The general beside him also felt a sense of crisis.
“The soldiers’horses all feel very uneasy,”the general said as he looked at the knights behind him, who numbered nearly fifty people.
These horses stomped back and forth on the spot, as if they wanted to escape from here.
Suddenly, shier heard a sound coming from the bushes in the distance. She immediately summoned an ice pick and threw it at the source of the sound.
A deer jumped out of the bushes and ran out of the forest nimbly.
“It’s just a white frost deer and some snow squirrels.”
Shier looked at the deer and squirrels that were chased away by the ice pick and said.
“But the deer are gathering around the forest… it’s very strange.”Shier closed her eyes and used the spirit of Frost to shift her vision to the frost and snow in the sky.
Shier saw a herd of deer gathering around the forest.
“Maybe this is where they graze. The white frost deer are very docile. As long as we don’t provoke them, they won’t attack us.”
The general seemed to be quite knowledgeable about these animals.
Just as shier was about to give the order for the soldiers to retreat from this forest, there was a new message in the messaging group.
‘Your Majesty, we have already killed the adjudicators in the ruins and are preparing to evacuate with the prisoners. Please activate the coordinates of the teleportation formation.’
This was good news, so good that shier felt that it was a little unreal.
Those adjudicators in the monument were killed so easily by the assassins under his command?
The assassins sent by Shier were considered the most elite assassins of the Frost Nation. Being able to execute the mission flawlessly further proved their strength.
‘that’s not right. Those lunatics aren’t dead yet… their throats were clearly cut off.’
‘activate the teleportation scroll, don’t linger in battle!’
Shier immediately sent out this message, and the spell casters in the legion behind him also activated the fixed teleportation coordinates.
At this moment, a white frost deer slowly walked towards them.
The horse under Shier became uneasy again, and the general dismounted from his warhorse and approached the white frost deer with a flower in his hand.
“Don’t Worry, your majesty, they are very docile.”
The white frost deer also came close to the flower in the general’s hand and sniffed it. The general reached out his hand and was about to touch the white frost deer’s fur.
“Dodge! This thing is not a deer!”
Shier had a premonition of danger in his heart, but by the time shier reminded him, it was already too late.
A crack suddenly appeared on the White Frost Deer’s head from the middle, and the next moment, its head and neck were split in half. Scarlet flesh and serrated teeth appeared on the edge of the split, it was like a crocodile opening its bloody mouth.
The serrated teeth on both sides of the deer bit at the hand of the general.
It was too late for him to dodge. The arm of the general was instantly bitten off by the monster.
Blood instantly gushed out from the wrist. A blue inscription appeared in Shier’s hand. She was about to cast a spell when she suddenly felt a pain in her arm.
A snow squirrel… No! It was not a snow squirrel.
The furry monster looked like a snow squirrel, but a mouth full of fangs opened from its abdomen and bit down on Shea’s arm.
Shea endured the pain and condensed frost that instantly froze the monster into dregs.
The general was also a warrior who had been through hundreds of battles. Even if he lost an arm, he still managed to dodge the attack of the white frost deer without a change of expression.
The ground started to shake slightly. The deer group outside the forest started to charge at the knights that Shier was in. There were still a large number of snow squirrels living in the forest.
“Enemy attack! Be careful of those animals… they have all become monsters!”
Shier no longer had the time to hide. He directly pulled out his longsword. The surrounding air had dropped to the extreme at this moment.
