Chapter 331 Northern Lights (4000)

On the polar plateau, the further north you go, the weaker the wind and snow. There are towering icebergs all around, and at the bottom of the mountains is a rift valley of unknown depth. This should be a forbidden area for life, but there are a variety of polar creatures, and the most basic nutrition to maintain the food chain here is the polar snow.

The snow in the central polar region contains abundant ice elements and nutrients needed for life, but the nutrients in the snow cannot be absorbed by non-polar organisms. However, not all snow that falls has nutrients, only the light pink snow has nutrients, so you can see snow-eating beasts migrating along the pink snow belt, and carnivorous beasts and cold demons also move around near the pink snow belt.

The slave York Red was pulling a sled right in the middle of a pink ribbon of snow.

The flint giant summoned by Helot was pulling another ice sled, on which lay the sleeping Melissa, with her eyes closed and her brows furrowed, as if she were having a nightmare.

Helot walked at the front of the team. The cold made him wrap himself tightly, leaving only his eyes exposed. Frost covered his eyebrows and eyelashes, and the infection of the ice element turned the color of his pupils from black to light brown.

Panier followed Helot, dragging his shackles. He walked in a daze, as if he would fall to the ground at the next moment.

Helot asked, "How far is it to the prisoner's base?"

Panier gasped, "Almost there! I was moving faster than I expected when I was asleep. I'm really curious about how you did it."

"You've been saying since yesterday that we're almost there, and you're still saying it now. You've seen the princess's condition. If she gets lost before she finds the prisoner's base, you'll become worthless."

"We're almost there!" Panier pointed to a towering iceberg ahead. "It's right inside that iceberg. If we follow this snow belt, we'll definitely be there before dark."

Helot saw the icebergs in front of him, rolling and undulating like the dragons he had known in his previous life.

The pink snow belt under your feet extends in a winding manner towards the iceberg.

Helot quickened his pace and threw something to Panier, saying, "Hurry up! This is your second to last meal. Look at the sun more, because this is the last time you will see it."

Panier took what Helot threw to him with both hands. It was a piece of black bread. Heat radiated from the inside out. The baked bread was soft and rich in wheat aroma.

He would never have looked at such bread before, but now he couldn't help but eat it. During the few days of the journey, black bread was his main food, and he couldn't even eat enough. On the other hand, the slave from the northern border ate meat at will during meals, and even when he was on the move, he could always take out a frozen sausage and chew it.

I will "repay" all the insults I receive double!
Panier ate the bread as quickly as possible before it got cold, then grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and held it in his mouth to quench his thirst.

After regaining some energy, he began to observe the surrounding glaciers.

Why hasn't anyone rescued me yet?
Paniel was certain that his father and the surviving tribesmen must have already reunited with the Fire Spirit, the person in charge of the Executioner's Polar Base, and they must have discovered this team marching towards the pole.

A fire magician, an Emma Lubeli who has almost no fighting power, and a Northern Frontier slave who only has strength. They can be eliminated with a simple ambush. Why haven't they taken action yet?
Do we really have to watch them reach the Pole?
What is father doing?
Paniel was very anxious, he knew very well that the moment he arrived at the Executioner's Polar Base would be the day of his death.

What Panier didn't know was that Marquis Skovo was also very anxious.

At this time, Marquis Skovo was standing on a protruding glacier in the distance, wearing a white cloak. He could clearly see his son's miserable appearance and wanted to rush over to rescue him immediately.

But he didn't dare to do so, because behind this team was an army of undead.

The main force of this undead army is about five thousand skeleton cavalry. They are arranged in fifty square formations of one hundred and march in an orderly manner. At the same time, they can quickly reorganize their formation according to changes in the terrain, showing extraordinary tactical qualities.

It can be imagined that once the "bait" in front is attacked, these 5,000 skeleton cavalry can rush forward in a very short time and complete the reverse encirclement of the ambushers.

And according to the information provided by Madam Keshiya, the combat effectiveness of these skeleton cavalry is extremely strong, which is not comparable to ordinary skeletons. They control the power of fire, and when the sea of ​​fire burns, the cold of the ice field must be avoided.

The undead army in the rear was not only composed of skeleton cavalry, but also a large number of crawling corpses scattered on both wings of the main force. They crawled with their hands and feet and could easily climb up the steep glacier.

These crawling corpses acted as scouts for the Undead army. I'm afraid they would have discovered the ambush before it even began.

The undead army followed the "bait" and moved step by step towards the executioner's polar base.

Marquis Skovo felt that there was another person beside him. After seeing the other person's appearance, he took the initiative to salute: "Madam Keshiya, has your army arrived?"

After the cold demon army of Madam Kaishiya was defeated, she had been looking for scattered cold demon groups and regrouping them. However, some cold demon groups were scared and moved to new camps, so it was impossible to gather all the subordinate cold demons in a short time.

After discovering the size of this undead army, Mistress Kaishia knew that her military strength was insufficient, so she went to the tribes of other Mistresses of the Cold Demon to borrow troops.

Hating the army of undead, Matron Keshia said, "I have borrowed 300 cold monsters. Together with my tribe, there are 600 cold monsters in total. Those short-sighted matrons have no idea what it means when the undead set foot in the polar regions. They even ridiculously believe that the extreme cold can help the cold monsters eliminate all invasions."

There are only six hundred cold monsters, too few!

Marquis Skovo was greatly disappointed with this number. No matter how strong the individual cold demons were, they had to face nearly ten thousand undead.

"In this war, we are at home, but we are at a disadvantage."

Madam Keshiya said confidently, "Didn't you notice that all the polar beasts in this snow belt have disappeared?"

Marquis Skovo noticed that there were indeed no traces of polar beasts in the pink snow belt.

“Where did they go?”

"We drove them all to the base of the Executioner. The Fire Spirits will use the potions they made on those polar beasts. I have seen the mad beasts they made. Even the most docile snow-eating beasts will become monsters that only know how to kill."

Upon hearing that the Executioner's base had already created an army of polar monsters to deal with the undead army, Marquis Skovo put aside some of his worries.

"Please rescue my son first, Madam. I promise that the new Ice and Snow Family will provide all the conveniences for your tribe. Your army will be armed with the best weapons and receive the best military training. Your power can expand beyond the polar regions, and you can also unify the polar plateau..."

Madam Keshiya laughed loudly: "Unify the polar plateau? I dare not have such a big ambition. The great beings deep in the polar regions will not let me go. But I can expand the tribe and go to the northern border or even further south."

Marquis Skovo's expression changed when he saw Madam Keshiya's greed, but for the sake of his family and his son, he said obediently: "The new Ice and Snow Family is your most solid ally."

"Let's talk about the alliance after you become the new Ice and Snow Family." Madam Kaishiya said arrogantly, "Go back, the enemy's crawling corpses are approaching, and those ice-attributed undead are very agile on the glacier, don't let them find you.

Now is not the time to start a war." Madam Keshia shook her ice wings and left the glacier. Marquis Skovo looked at his son in the distance and jumped off the glacier.

At this moment, Helot didn't know what was waiting for him ahead.

He knew that someone would rescue Paniel, so in order not to waste time in the battle against the ambush, he arranged an army of undead to march synchronously in the rear.

Anyone who wants to save Panier must consider whether he can survive the quick support of the Undead Army. The enemy will not act easily if they are not sure, and he can reach the polar base of the Executioner earlier.

As for Panier...

Helot had been hiding his identity from him, and he didn't know there was an army of undead behind him. In order to survive, he had to reach the polar base before Melissa got lost, hoping to be rescued on the way.

If he knew his identity as Claulund, it was unknown what he would do for the survival of the Skovo family.

Now, the prisoner's polar base is right before their eyes. They have no choice but to welcome this uninvited guest.

Whether or not we can find a way to save Melissa depends on what happens tonight.

The sun was seen setting in the southwest part of the sky.

The glaciers reflect the light of the stars and the moon in the sky, making the polar night not as dark as imagined. The colorful aurora adds a fairy-tale color to the ice field.

Melissa woke up from a long nightmare. The flint giant pulling the ice sled stopped, and then collapsed into a pile of flaming stones. The polar ice element's suppression of the fire element was too strong, and the flint giant could not maintain its form for a long time.

The whole team stopped.

The slave York Red loosened the reins around him, took out some food and grilled it on the pile of flint, then found a pot to boil some water to drink.

Helot helped Melissa up, "We are almost at the Pole of the Prisoners. We will have a full stomach soon and be ready for battle... but I still hope they can be reasonable."

Melissa looked at Helot, and after a while she suddenly realized: "I remember you, team leader. It seems that my memory has declined severely. I don't know when I will really forget you."

Losing memory is the process of Han Yao's loss.

Helot did not show any sadness. He smiled and said, "You will be fine, I promise! Let's go and see the Northern Lights together. The bloodline of the Erwin family is called the Northern Lights. I wonder if we can gain anything from the Northern Lights."

Melissa also smiled cheerfully: "When I went deep into the polar regions before, I often watched the aurora at night, but I didn't feel anything special. But I found out where to see the most beautiful aurora... Do you see that stone? Let's go up!"

"go!"

Helot pulled Melissa up the huge rock. Looking up, the sky was indeed very different, as if a lens had been added, and the sky full of bright stars was right in front of them, as if they could reach out and touch it.

The aurora is also very close, as if there is a screen surrounding the stone, and the aurora is shining on the screen.

Helot was stunned by the sudden scenery.

At the same time, he said to himself: "The concentration of ice elements here is uneven, and the transmission and refraction of light creates an effect similar to a mirage."

Melissa couldn't help but laugh: "As expected of a top student of the Imperial Royal Academy, you saw through me so easily. Now I'm going to interfere with the concentration of ice elements here, and you will see the most beautiful polar night sky."

Melissa stretched out her hand, and tiny icicles kept rising from the palm of her hand.

The concentration of ice element was disturbed, and the starry sky actually began to revolve around the boulder. The aurora turned into colorful dancing light bands, and six-petal ice flowers slowly fell.

At this moment, Helot's eyes were all on Melissa. She was as pure and innocent as an elf in the ice and snow, and her eyes were full of nostalgia for this world. The red earrings were the brightest color on her body, and the radiance they emitted cast a warm blush on her cheeks.

Suddenly, Helot grabbed Melissa's hand and used magic to stop her from releasing magic.

"I want to see this beautiful scenery a few more times on the way back, so don't overdraw before you are cured. Keep your mind clear and think more about the things that make you remember deeply.

Now we set off..."

Helot didn't finish his words and turned to look in the direction of the iceberg.

There was a bright light approaching at high speed, and it came close in just a few seconds.

He is a person whose whole body is burning with fire.

Through the torture of Panier before, Helot knew the other party's identity, the person in charge of the prisoner's polar base and one of the candidates "Fire Spirit".

The bloodline of Duke Chiyan, one of the twelve founding dukes, has a very high affinity for the element of fire and is proficient in various fire magic.

The Fire Spirit stopped far away and saluted Helotte: "Dear Duke Claulund, welcome to the polar base of the Executioner. I am the Fire Spirit in charge here. May I ask how I can help you?"

"You, you are Claulund!" Panier below was extremely shocked. He didn't expect that Claulund, who had returned to the center of the empire, would come to the Iceberg Snow Peak. Thinking back to Duke Erwin's respect for him, it seemed that only this identity could explain it.

Helot ignored the stunned Panier and said to the Fire Spirit: "I warned you, the Executioners, that I am not interested in what you are going to do, and I also ask you not to provoke me. Melissa is my lieutenant, I don't care what you did to her in the past, I only ask that she recover her health!"

The Fire Spirit said with a smile: "Of course we must comply with the Duke of the Dead's request. But... we don't have a way to reverse the cold demon's loss of consciousness. Princess Snow is dead!"

"Think carefully before you answer! I'll give you one chance to answer again."

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency. I understand how you feel right now, but we really have no way to reverse it, and we have never thought about reversing it because there is no need."
