Chapter 1260: Howl!!!
“I will be counting on all of you in this battle.”
“Remember, if you can fight, don’t bother to talk. Just strike them until they are terrified of you, and leave immediately after you whacked them. Safety first, secrecy second!”
At the peak of a giant mountain, Mag addressed the 400 thugs in suits in front of him.
The 400 Lantisdean warriors had already put on the same type of black suit and black shades, and they were standing with a cool expression, giving off a scary big boss vibe.
“Let’s do it!” everyone shouted in unison.
Mag felt gratified that the Lantisdean warriors bothered to reply to him. He turned and said to the high priest, “High Priest, our mission for this trip is to rescue the Night Elves and expel the Wind Forest’s army. Our target is their middle and upper combat power, and the time frame for this battle is about 30 minutes. If we cannot expel them, we will change our objective to escorting the Night Elves to the south. Do not fight to the death with Wind Forest.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Mag. We will accomplish the mission.” The high priest nodded.
Mag nodded before turning around to tell Yabemiya and Elizabeth, “Be careful.”
“Boss. Please relax and wait for us here. We will bring Shirley and Firis back with us safely,” Yabemiya said with a smile.
Yabemiya and Elizabeth transformed into dragons again, and let the 400 Lantisdean warriors go on their backs. They spread their wings and flew to the north.
“You are really not coming along to have a look?” Camilla tried to instigate Mag.
“I know you want me to die accidentally so the contract will be voided. Don’t worry, I treasure my life very much.” Mag shook his head with a smile.
“Scaredy-cat.” Camilla pursed her lips. She didn’t expect him to guess her thoughts correctly.
“Let’s go too. I can’t wait to see what a war looks like in this world.” Babla looked at Camilla expectantly. She didn’t know how to ride a white-head eagle, so she had to depend on Camilla to bring her along.
“Alright. Let’s go.” Camilla grabbed Babla’s waist as a pair of black wings appeared on her back. They, too, flew toward the north.
After watching the two giant dragons and one bat become little black dots and disappear at the horizon, Mag turned and let out a whistle.
A purple-striped griffin pierced through the clouds and dived down from the sky. It spread its wings out and slowly landed on the mountain’s peak.
“Howl...”
Ah Zi tilted its head and let out a howl before wagging its tail and rubbing its head against Mag’s arm.
“Squeak, squeak...” The white-head eagle that was so proud earlier was now so scared that it lay low on the ground. It let out two squeaks and dared not moved a muscle.
“Old mate, it will be a tough battle today, but we’ve gotta go to save her. Otherwise, we will be pussies.” Mag stroked Ah Zi’s head before leaping onto the griffin’s back. He tore away his jacket to reveal his black tights[1] underneath. He wore his black cape and black-and-white face mask, and attached the Tian Du sword to his waist.
“Let’s go. We have to get to the underground cavern before they do. The battle could have already started.” Mag patted Ah Zi’s back lightly.
“Howl!”
Ah Zi spread its wings and took off toward the sky. It dashed into the clouds, turned into a black shadow, and disappeared on the horizon.
***
The battle between Helena and Irina was dark and dangerous.
The scorching meteor that was scattered left countless big and small craters on the ground. Irina’s skirt had holes in it, and Helena lost a few strands of hair, looking rather disheveled.
The crystal ball emitted a dim glow, and stars died every now and then.
There was already blood on the magic caster’s staff, but it made Irina look even more holy and innocent.
On the other hand, the elven troops began a new round of attacks, and engaged in a fierce battle with the Night Elves.
The Night Elves, who were both outnumbered and outclassed by their enemies, displayed an awe-inspiring tenacity.
After they exhausted all their magic and arrows, they began to throw rocks down at the elves at the bottom of the mountain.
The troops with power, armament, and numbers way superior to the Night Elves’ failed to take the underground cavern even after charging three, four times.
The elven troops were in awe when they saw the elderly elves who were bloody and stuck with arrows, yet still kept throwing rocks down bravely.
What power was supporting them and made fearless?
Was it freedom?
Was death so negligible when compared to freedom?
These young people began to question these problems in their hearts, and they started to charge slower. Their willingness to be exploited for their survival started to shake too.
“I had once joined forces with the queen to expel the invaders from the forest and exhausted all my life’s efforts to build a strong elf tribe. You should learn to respect and treasure it instead of attempting to destroy it.” Helena lifted the crystal ball up gradually as she looked at Irina who was pale and panting gently, then pointed to a flickering star in it, and said, “This is you, who used to be the brightest star in this starry sky, but is about to be annihilated. Irina, you have disappointed me.”
“It is the Forest that disappointed me. I used to think this was the most perfect place, but then I realized this was actually the dirtiest place, even dirtier than the Demon Islands.” Irina shook her head, and her eyes darkened when she saw the troops closing in to the peak. This was a battle that was destined to be lost spectacularly. Everyone knew it before it even started.
And those old mates had displayed an awe-inspiring tenacity and the strongest declaration to freedom.
The duel with Helena had exhausted the majority of Irina’s power.
With the support of the Starry Sky Domain, Helena’s power had indeed surpassed her expectations. “Second only to the queen” were not empty words.
The Night Elves didn’t have any reinforcements, so it was a good thing that those young comrades had already evacuated. They should have disguised and merged into all the families and territories by now, spreading the embers of freedom among middle and low stratum.
When the wind blew one day, these embers would become a huge forest fire.
It was a pity that she wouldn’t have the chance to witness it.
I should have done more that time. It was a little waste that we only kissed. Irina thought about Mag and Amy, but she didn’t want them to be here.
If she was gone, Amy could only be taken care of by Mag.
He cooks such wonderful dishes and Amy loves him. There won’t be any problems even if I am not around, Irina thought and revealed a smile. Then there was no problem at all. She raised her staff and looked at Helena with a hint of craziness in her eyes.
“You won’t have the chance to blow yourself up.” Helena seemed to see through what Irina was thinking. She clenched her fists, and the Starry Sky in the magic ball collapsed instantaneously. The Starry Sky Domain that was covering thousands of square meters contracted instantaneously too, and crashed toward Irina at the center.
“Collapse of the Starry Domain” was Helena’s ultimate magic.
“Howl!”
Right at this moment, a long howl came from the horizon, and a purple figure dashed toward the collapsing Star Domain from the sky like a lightning.
[1] It’s the kind from neck down lol.
