Chapter 694: Chapter 692: Checking the New Express Delivery Chapter 694: Chapter 692: Checking the New Express Delivery “The dragons and Dragon Knights had all practiced crossing the Black Maelstrom Ocean in the Snow Annihilation Shattered Sea. Such a grand sight clearly could not escape the notice of Frost Star.”

“We must buy time for the Eternal Seven Elders to thaw and recover!”

“The Eternal Five New… Four New can’t hold off the onslaught of the Dragon Sleep Continent. Besides Russell Amber Dream, there are also two of the mightiest Ancient Dragons over there!”

“They have already found a way to enter and exit the Shattered Sea. Once they break through the gates of the otherworld, they will counter-attack our Frost Star!”

“How could the situation have deteriorated to this extent!”

“Gu Xin is incompetent, dragging down the Eternal Three Snows and the Eternal Five New, leading to the failure of the redemption plan!”

“Enough, stop arguing!” The Mountain Elder paused with his Frost Wood Staff atop the Indestructible Throne, stopping the quarreling at the meeting, “Things have come to this; only once we recover can we clean up this mess!”

“Mountain Elder, what should we do now?” the Lion Elder asked.

“Let the Eternal Frost Star go completely; we cannot give the Dragon Sleep Continent any opportunity to exploit. On the Shattered Frost Star side, deploy the Frost Star Hundred Divisions to wage war and buy time. The Eternal Four New shall join them!”

The Mountain Elder’s gaze was severe, “We only need three months for us, the seven elders, to regain our strength. Then, we’ll set the trap and eliminate Russell Amber Dream and those Ancient Dragons, restoring order to the chaos!”

The orders were made.

The Shattered Frost Star burst into instant chaos as the trolls of the Frost Star Hundred Divisions, regardless of gender or age, were forcibly sent through the gates of the otherworld into the Dragon Sleep Continent to bide their time for war.

The Eternal Four New hid among the Frost Star Hundred Divisions, ready to deliver a crippling blow to the nations of the Dragon Sleep Continent when necessary.

Thus, the sudden outbreak of a massive war between the two planets unfolded.

…

In the Shadowflame Kingdom, beyond the Volcanic Oasis in the Warm Enclave, Knight Regiments gathered in droves.

It wasn’t just the Knight Regiments from the Warm Enclave but also those from all major provinces of the Volcanic Oasis, continuously advancing towards the Snowfield to exterminate Snow Demons and Snow Ghosts.

To the south of Cloud Dream Oasis.

Lord Eric, astride a white horse with a bulge on its forehead, was followed by a large contingent of Knights, each riding a horse like his, with the same distinctive bulge on the forehead.

This was the second regiment directly under Red Castle after the Dragon Blood Knights—the White Horse Knight Order.

All the warhorses of the White Horse Knight Order were selected from the Cloud Dream Ranch: Primordial Beast Kind Pseudo-Dragon Descendants—Like-White Horse Dragons.

Elsewhere, Lord Grove rode a black warhorse with a mane of blue-purple. The Knights following him, each and every one, also rode black horses with blue-purple manes.

If the Like-White Horse Dragons formed a Knight Order, then naturally another Primordial Beast Kind Pseudo-Dragon Descendant—Black Horse-like Dragons—also formed a Knight Order.

This was the Black Horse Guard Knight Order, the third Knight Order under the allegiance of Red Castle.

The former followers of Russell all received significant appointments: Eric and Grove came into their own, while Charles was busy with industrialization, Katie became Russell’s Knight Commander, and Grontan Bainroot was a provincial governor.

“The Demon-search Tower has sent a signal; a Giant Army is drawing near from the south. White Horse Knight Order, prepare to meet the enemy!”

Lord Eric roared commandingly.

Adjacent to him, Lord Grove immediately followed suit, “Black Horse Guard Knight Order, all hands on deck, prepare to meet the enemy!”

Moments later, before the Giant Army had even arrived.

The Flying Dragon Group had already arrived under the leadership of Baron Roman, followed by a train that came whistling from Youguang Province, bringing with it a whole Gloomy Light Valley Knight Order.

“Good, we finally have another chance at a Giant incursion,” mused Baron Roman, astride Ros the Clay Dragon, his heart filled with intense emotions, “After this battle, my merits should be enough for promotion to Earl!”

He was Russell’s father, but still required merits for advancing his rank.

Pausing a moment, Baron Roman then wished, “I hope we encounter a crisis that’s not too dangerous, one that will allow my companions to experience the Life and Death Dragon Tribulation!”

Russell had already contracted a Pseudo-Unicorn Dragon and had assimilated to a certain degree, even attending the Dragon’s Path Study Society multiple times to listen to numerous lectures. Now he was just waiting for the Pseudo-Unicorn Dragon to get through the Life and Death Dragon Tribulation and take him on a flight.

The battle erupted swiftly.

The attacking Giant Troll Army included few Giant Trolls, but Snow Demons and Snow Ghosts were innumerable and densely packed.

However, the signal detected by the Demon-search Tower indicated that a Frost Giant was lurking within the Giant Troll Army.

For this reason,

Harpies Hape had already concealed herself within the clouds in the sky, waiting for the Frost Giant to reveal itself before entangling it. As a Phantom Dragon, Hape might not be able to single-handedly defeat a Frost Giant, but trapping it was a breeze.

Just delay for a moment, and Russell would arrive in person to harvest the Frost Giant’s Frost Star Bead.

The fight became intense from the get-go, with the Knight Regiment’s fighting spirit resonating, moving in and out among the Snow Demons and Snow Ghost Group, cutting through the Giant Troll Army, then repeatedly penetrating, dividing, and harvesting.

This process had been well-honed by the knights.

However, the Giant Trolls mixed in with the Snow Demons and Snow Ghosts always managed to cause trouble for the Knight Regiment. They were better at using spells, destroying ice caps and solidifying snow, creating various obstructions for the knights’ charge.

Thud!

A knight’s steed slipped on the fractured ice, causing the knight to be thrown off as well. Before the knight could get up,

an ice crystal weapon pierced through from under the broken ice, then through the knight’s abdomen.

The Giant Troll holding the ice crystal weapon revealed a cruel smile.

“It’s a Giant Troll, adjust formation, ninety degrees left turn, charge!” The Knight Regiment’s commander did not panic in the slightest.

Before the knight could spill his guts, a timely resonating charge with fighting spirit interrupted the Giant Troll’s next move. Then countless Knight Spears continuously struck the Giant Troll, rescuing the unlucky knight from its grasp.

“Pierced abdomen, wound infected by Frost Snow Power, immediate treatment needed!” A Great Knight inspected the unfortunate knight’s injury.

“Support squadron, take Tras back!” the commander shouted.

Casualties in battle were normal; knights with treatable wounds would be sent to the rear for medical attention, while those with fatal wounds beyond help would be put out of their misery and burnt to prevent them from rising as a Snow Ghost.

Whoosh!

Above the sky, Baron Roman led the Flying Dragon Group, directing the entire battle trend, pinpointing and eliminating Giant Trolls. Ordinary Ice Soul Pearls and Ice Pellet Pearls were no longer of interest to Flying Dragon Knights; what they sought were the pure Ice Essence Pearls from the Giant Trolls.

Snow Demons and Snow Ghosts were innumerable, but the Frost Giant Clan was steadily being reduced with each kill, significantly widening the gap in merit.

As the Flying Dragon Knights kept slaughtering Giant Trolls one after another,

The ground’s snow suddenly burst open while the sky rapidly condensed dark clouds, unfolding the Frost Domain. A Frost Giant emerged from beneath the ice, waving its arms to cast a spell in an attempt to ensnare the circling Flying Dragon Knights in the sky.

“Screech!”

A harpy’s cry pierced the air as Hape, who had been waiting for a long time, shot through the clouds in a dive toward the ground. Endless Gang Winds surged from her, locking onto the Frost Giant without fail.

Boom!

The battle between the Frost Giant and the Phantom Dragon erupted in the center of the battlefield.

“Steady on, hoist the sails!” Lord Roman bellowed, “Everyone, evacuate the combat area, don’t get caught in the maelstrom of battle!”

The Knight Regiment quickly retreated to either side, leaving the main battlefield to Hape.

At the same time,

Russell, who was within the Shadowflame Volcano grasping the deeper mysteries of the fire elemental power’s Secret Technique, suddenly opened his eyes.

He lightly tapped the green leaf mark on the back of his right hand, “Saiban, take me to the southern Snowfield, I’ve got a new delivery waiting!”
