Chapter 618: Chapter 616: Shuang Da Turns Dark
Whoosh!
The Flying Dragon Knights of the Flying Dragon Group gradually returned to Red Castle, then, along with the Cabinet Ministers, went through the underground passage into Shadowfla Volcano.
“Greetings to both Your Highnesses!” The ministers and Flying Dragon Knights bowed to Russell and the Shadowfla Dragon, with faces brimming with excitent and thrill, as the Shadowfla Grand Duchy had just won a battle against the Frost Snow Giants Legion.
Previously, the news of the Molten Fire Duchy, Ice Ridge Duchy, and Starlight Duchy falling had left the nobles anxious.
Even though Red Castle had blocked the news internally, the nobles were clearly able to obtain information from various sources.
In everyone’s hearts, there was an unspoken fear that the Shadowfla Grand Duchy might beco the next Molten Fire Duchy.
But today, Russell and the Shadowfla Dragon, with a spirited counterattack, greatly boosted everyone’s morale, strengthening the belief that the Shadowfla Grand Duchy could overco the crisis and further strengthening the trust that Grand Duke Russell could protect everyone.
After all.
Russell and the Shadowfla Dragon hadn’t ford a contract yet, and once they did, their strength would be unimaginable.
“What are the losses for the Grand Duchy?” Russell inquired, his complexion sowhat pale, as Shuang Da had dealt him a significant blow.
“Several estates in the Mountainous Province were destroyed by the Frost Snow Giants Legion, a few hundred people died, and several roads were also damaged,” Baron Gevedas, the Pri Minister, reported, “The Cabinet has already dispatched people for the relief efforts.”
“Mm, make sure the relief work is well attended to,” Russell nodded.
“Your Highness, may I ask how the battle ended?” Baron Roman asked, as the blizzard obscured their view of the battle’s details.
“I beheaded Shuang Da once, but alas, he didn’t die,” Russell said casually, hands clasped behind his back, “However, the Snow Giant it relied on was split in two by my sword; it only managed to take half when it fled, and the other half beca a war trophy for
and Shadowfla.”
“Mighty Grand Duke!” Everyone cheered loudly.
Russell calmly pressed his hand down: “Through sincere cooperation between
and Shadowfla, what are Frost Snow Giants to us? Their retreat in disgruntlent is already the greatest face they could save. If Shuang Da dares to invade again, escaping won’t be so easy.”
At this mont, Russell’s figure lood larger in the ministers’ eyes.
Only the Shadowfla Dragon, which was resting with its eyes closed, slightly curled its lip in disdain; it had done most of the work, yet Russell got all the glory.
This fellow, no different from the Third Duke of Quentin.
At this ti, Baron Gevedas and Baron Roman exchanged glances, then Baron Gevedas spoke: “Your Highness, the situation is becoming increasingly difficult, and the arrival of Frost Star is inevitable, now that three Grand Duchies have already fallen.”
After a pause, Gevedas asked directly, “When might you and His Highness Shadowfla form a contract?”
“Hmm?” Russell narrowed his eyes.
Gevedas quickly explained, “Everyone is uneasy, and if you and His Highness Shadowfla could contract early and promote to Dragon Knight, then the people under your wing in the Shadowfla Grand Duchy would feel secure.”
“Indeed, Your Highness!”
“Please reconsider, Your Grace the Grand Duke and His Highness Shadowfla!”
“We respectfully request that Your Grace the Grand Duke and His Highness Shadowfla complete the contract!”
The ministers and Flying Dragon Knights, kneeling on one knee, implored Russell to contract with the Shadowfla Dragon, including Baron Roman.
In this scene, the Shadowfla Dragon watched with interest and awaited Russell’s consideration.
Russell instantly realized that his reluctance to form a contract with the Shadowfla Dragon had caused the ministers’ concern. This clamoring by the ministers was probably also spurred by his own father, Baron Roman, intending to solidify Russell’s identity as a Dragon Knight.
A delay could lead to unwanted dreams.
As long as Russell did not contract, these sincere and supportive nobles would not have peace of mind.
Thus, they were actively pushing for the contract between Russell and the Shadowfla Dragon.
“Cough cough.” Russell addressed everyone calmly, “Please stand, everyone. Rest assured about the contract between
and Shadowfla. It will surely happen; we are just waiting for the right opportunity.”
As for what that opportunity was, Russell didn’t say and just turned to look at the Shadowfla Dragon.
After a few seconds of eye contact, a bubbling Magic Dragon Language slowly began to sound.
This was the Shadowfla Dragon, promising everyone, “Concern yourselves less with the Way of the Knight; Shadowfla and Russell are naturally born Dragon Knights. Today, tomorrow, or the day after, the union will eventually occur. Just wait.”
Lord Welchi quickly translated the words.
The Cabinet Ministers and Flying Dragon Knights, having received the promise of the Shadowfla Dragon, cheered jubilantly, “The Dragon watches over us, the radiant light protects us, long live the Shadowfla Grand Duchy!”
Once the cheering had subsided,
Russell waved his hand, “Enough, after a great battle, Shadowfla needs to rest. Everyone, return to your posts, continue to contribute to the developnt of the Shadowfla Grand Duchy. Only with continuous strengthening of our nation will Shadowfla beco even mightier, able to protect all citizens!”
“I shall take my leave!” Baron Gevedas led the departure.
As the doors of the underground passage slowly closed, Russell also prepared to leave, “Shadowfla, take a good rest.”
“The Ice Crystal artifact, will you take it or leave it here?”
“I’ll leave it here.”
“Take it away soon, Shadowfla dislikes its aura, plus it has stabbed Shadowfla with a sword, which was quite painful.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll consult with the Thunder Voice Conference on how this item should be stored and used.”
“Moreover, industrialization must continue,” Shadowfla Dragon stated, “The battle with Shuang Da made
realize my own strength, becoming stronger. This is brought by industrialization, and it must continue indefinitely!”
“Rest assured, industrialization has just begun. Given ti, perhaps you could return to the ancient tis directly through industrialization,” Russell said with a slight smile. In the next second, he had already used the Lightning Escape Technique and left the Shadowfla Volcano.
…
On the vast snowfield, the wind howled.
In a mountain ridge, Shuang Da sat cross-legged, his white cloak fluttering in the wind, his broken neck slowly healing.
The surrounding Snow Trolls were clustering and making noise, shouting at Shuang Da.
Clearly, the failure of the mission and the loss of the Ice Crystal artifact borrowed from Shuang He was all blad on Shuang Da.
“Chattering!” The Snow Giants spoke harshly.
But Shuang Da remained motionless, continuing to heal his neck, until a Snow Giant suddenly turned around, angrily preparing to leave.
Shuang Da then spoke slowly, “Wait.”
“Officer Da, if you have anything else to say, I will relay everything to Officer He. You are no longer entitled to reap benefits from this hunting ground!” The Snow Giant snapped back, pointing at Shuang Da, its fangs flashing a cold light.
Shuang Da t its gaze, slowly stood up, and with a large staff thudded on the ground, he walked towards the Snow Giant step by step.
“What do you intend to do!” the Snow Giant snarled, baring its teeth.
Shuang Da, holding a broken piece of a fang, trembled slightly, “The fault of this battle lies with , with my weakness.”
“Good that you know!” the Snow Giant puffed out its chest, “You no longer have a seat in the Eternal Star plan, Officer Da, we Cold Frost Warriors will not follow a loser; we too have to fight for our tribe!”
“Rest assured, I will fight for our tribe, and, for the Liǎo Zhé Tribe, I will seize a place in the Eternal Star!” Having said that, Shuang Da swiftly grabbed the Snow Giant’s neck and, to the Giant’s astonished gaze, snapped it directly.
“Da!” The other Snow Giants roared angrily.
But Shuang Da’s eyes only reflected coldness as he slowly turned to approach the remaining Snow Giants, “I was too weak. If I beco stronger, strong enough that no one can stop , and beco the supre Frost Titan, even the Eternal Seven Elders must treat
with respect!”
“Da, how dare you!”
“What can’t I dare, I’ve already lost everything.” Shuang Da wantonly slaughtered, having laid an array on this ridge; not a single Snow Giant could escape, their blue blood staining the white cloak blue, “Becoming my stepping stone, you and He are no different.”
“Da!” The Snow Giants roared but could do nothing to stop Shuang Da’s slaughter, “You will not die well!”
The scent of blood rose in the mountains, soon freezing into ice, falling again onto the snowy terrain. Shuang Da quickly cleaned up all the Snow Giants.
Looking at the bodies on the ground, he sneered, “If I cannot kill Russell Fluorescent Fungus, how could I not kill you?”
Sitting cross-legged, he devoured.
All the Snow Giant bodies were soon refined into energy, infused into his body, even the white light cloak transford from the Snow Giant rged into his body as well.
His body grew from forty ters to sixty ters in size.
“Huh!” Shuang Da exhaled a breath of bloody air, “Frost Giant Level Two, my strength is greater now, closer to the Frost Titan!”
