Chapter 54 Headache

The battle had lasted nearly twenty minutes since it began.

This is a great test of anyone's physical strength. Since they have to swing their swords with all their strength to cut through the winter wolf's fur and cause fatal injuries, some soldiers have already become exhausted.

But Reina didn't seem to feel tired at all. Each of her attacks was with the most appropriate force and the most accurate. While conserving her energy, her killing efficiency far exceeded that of any guard knight.

She even had enough energy to focus all her attention on Viola to prevent her from getting into danger.

However, Viola did not pay too much attention to other people's battle results. She shook off the blood on the blade and reached out to grab the wounded soldier.

The battle line was now in a stalemate, but Viola was absolutely disadvantaged in terms of numbers. After all, it took two or three soldiers to deal with a winter wolf in a frontal battle, and she only had two thousand soldiers, while the number of winter wolves exceeded two thousand.

Turning back to look in the direction of the pass, after passing through traps and head-on fighting, Viola finally saw the tail of the winter wolf pack.

It's time to make a big move.

After turning the hilt of the sword and stabbing a struggling winter wolf to death, a white ball of light shot out from Viola's hilt.

The ball of light rose into the air like a flare.

The only five remaining court magicians hiding near the crossbowmen began to recite obscure spells upon seeing this, and then fired fireballs at the pack of winter wolves that were squeezing into the pass.

One after another, huge orange-red fireballs exploded from the wolf pack, mixed with terrible loud noises, and even caused the wolf pack to be "broken".

Although the magician is powerful, his mana bar is limited and must be used wisely.

After this wave of firepower support, the number of winter wolves can be greatly reduced. The rest depends on the efforts of the soldiers.

The purpose of adopting such a fighting-to-the-death formation is to not allow any winter wolf to enter the territory of Leon.

This remote territory is not like other places where there are adventurers roaming around everywhere. If a winter wolf really comes in, ordinary villagers will not be able to resist at all.

So no winter wolf can be let go, they either roll back to the snowy area or die here.

The balance of victory is gradually tilting towards Viola. After all, a lot of preparations have been made in the early stage. Besides, no matter how smart the winter wolves are, they are only smart among wild beasts. Compared with mortals, their tricks are not worth mentioning.

Viola had created a huge advantage for herself through ambushes, traps and tactics. She was confident in her soldiers and knights, and she knew her side would win.

But a new problem arose.

Zora, who was almost covered in wolf blood, rushed to Viola and said:
"Why don't these winter wolves retreat?"

Yes, that's the new problem.

It has been emphasized many times that winter wolves are not stupid, nor are they creatures that will fight to the death. Once they find the situation is unfavorable, they will retreat immediately without hesitation.

And now, even the winter wolves can see that it is difficult for them to break through the soldiers' blockade, but why are they still rushing south at all costs?

After all, the climate in the Leon territory is not a suitable environment for winter wolves to survive. It is too hot in the summer, and the winter wolves will faint from the heat in large numbers.

Except for occasionally entering Leon's territory in winter, they always wander around on the snowfields.

So why are these winter wolves heading south so close to May?
"Your Highness, we seem to be in big trouble."

When Lena saw a high-speed shadow flash across the boundary between the sky and the mountain, she immediately felt something very bad.

"What do you see?"

Before Reina could report, he was interrupted by a roar from the valley.

--hold head high!

The sound continued to echo in the valley, deafening and breathtaking.

Many people, including Viola, had never heard such a terrifying roar. Lions and tigers could not compare with it.

"Listen, your highness. That's a dragon."

The roar of a dragon is unique and no creature can imitate it, especially since the sound alone can awaken the most primitive fear in people.

"Dragon? How could there be a dragon in this place?!"

Viola was about to ask more questions when a gust of wind mixed with snowflakes and ice hit her in the face.

A huge, elegant and beautiful creature hovered forty or fifty meters above the head. Its flawless white scales looked like the white snow that had not melted for thousands of years on the snowy plains. Its ice-blue eyes scanned the winter wolves and soldiers below. Its razor-sharp fangs were inserted in its slightly open bloody mouth. Its slender tail swung left and right, but there was no doubt about its power. The dragon's tail could smash the wall with one blow. Everyone looked at the behemoth that appeared above their heads in shock. Even the winter wolf that had just desperately attacked the defense line now dropped its head and lay on the ground as if it had accepted its fate.

Viola suddenly understood why the winter wolves were moving south in groups.

Because they are being driven by a dragon!

As the top of the food chain and the most powerful creature in the mortal world, the dragon let out a low roar that seemed to be squeezed from its throat.

"That's Dragon Language."

Reina quietly grasped her slightly trembling left hand and said to Viola:

"This white dragon doesn't look very old."

The older a dragon gets, the more dangerous it becomes, but that doesn't mean a younger dragon isn't dangerous, it's just a relative term.

"Do you have experience slaying dragons?"

"Unfortunately, no."

No one could have predicted that a dragon would appear in such a remote place, because dragons generally like to live near wealthy countries to make it easier for them to make money.

The white dragon floating in the sky did not notice Viola and Reina's whispering, or perhaps he noticed it but did not care.

It slightly bent its slender neck and spoke in another language:
"My name is Rhaena Skulix Mogul, Lord of the Snowy Mountains. You, tiny mortal, have invaded my territory!"

The sound of the dragon is like a gust of wind whistling through the eardrums, making the ears buzz.

It looked as if the dragon wanted to chat.

Viola quietly made a few gestures to Zora, asking the guards to get ready, and then she said loudly without hesitation:

"These winter wolves invaded my territory first!"

Unexpectedly, someone would dare to resist under the dragon's pressure. The white dragon rolled his eyes and looked at Viola who was standing there with a sword in her hand.

"These winter wolves are my property, my flock. You killed them. Do you have any excuse?"

Viola now understood why the winter wolf ran away, because the white dragon regarded the winter wolf as a source of meat that could be eaten at any time.

This is what Bai Long refers to as the 'flock of sheep'.

It is very likely that the winter wolves decided to escape collectively when the white dragon was caught off guard, so they gathered in such a large number and headed south together.

But it seems too late to understand this. The problem now is not the winter wolf, but the white dragon, which is much more terrifying than the winter wolf.

"Your flocks have invaded my territory and threatened my people..."

"I don't accept any excuses!"

The white dragon roared:
"My property was damaged, and while you were making excuses, your men were still trying to launch a sneak attack. Do you really think I didn't see it?"

The huge sound wave rolled up the snowflakes on the ground, making people hold their breath.

"That's enough! I don't want to talk to a lowly mortal who is full of lies! Prepare to repent under my icy flames!"

A fine blue-white light shone from the white dragon's bloody mouth. That was the dragon clan's most powerful weapon - dragon breath.

If it's nonsense that the winter wolf's breath can freeze the flames, the white dragon really has this ability.

But what puzzled Bai Long was that these tiny mortals below did not kneel down and beg for mercy, nor did they launch an attack. Instead, they all opened their mouths wide as if they had seen something incredible.

In fact, in the sky behind the white dragon, the dark clouds covering the stars were violently torn apart, and a huge terrifying hand fell from the clouds. Each finger was wrapped in purple-black stripes, reflecting an uncomfortable oily light.

When Bailong realized that everyone was staring at its back, he turned his head and saw the hand bending a finger.

"Varied……!"

With a Biu, he flicked Bai Long's head...
