I told you not to speak!
How was I supposed to know that they werent my n?!
Ling Yue and I angrily made eye contact. Truthfully, I wasnt angry that we were taken away; I was angry, because I was concerned for Karana and company. To be honest, I dont care too much about Karanas well-being, but I do care about my Philes and Shusia. I dont know if theyll be saved from the snow avalanche.
I, in all honesty, never expected these people to not be Karana and company, but instead, natives of the snowy mountains. They carried guns, bows and arrows on their backs. I thought that they were going to attack us, so I had my gun ready to fire, but they didnt do anything to us. They just surrounded us, and then requested for us to leave.
Perhaps it was because he noticed our tense expressions, a native turned his head around to say with a smile, I told you, Your Majesty, we do not intend offend you. We just hope that you can co with us. We have already rescued your friends, so you do not need to worry. We noticed your group when the snow avalanche happened. Fortunately, it was not a serious avalanche. A big snowball dropped down is all. After we saved your friends, Lord Karana said that you had not yet been found, so we led a search for you.
Are Karana and the others all right?
They are all fine.
Thats good.
I was relieved to hear that. I then looked at them and asked with concern, What about the anthropoids, then? What happened to them? How many of them are there? We did we get attacked?
His expression turned grim. He sounded as if he struggled to reply, It seems to be a very fierce attack, Your Majesty The anthropoids are launching a big attack. This is no longer the usual robbery, but an actual assault. We have no idea where they ca from. They gathered in in the frozen land. They should be attacking Socina City now
Oh, right! Human! I should inform you!
Ling Yue grabbed by my chest and pulled over. She looked at and solemnly said, I never thought that theyd move so fast! Human! You need to hurry and prepare for war! The weather in the North has beco too harsh to survive. All of the species in the North are banding together. They want to take over your land! This is just the first unit. There will be a big army attacking after! You need to hurry and prepare! I ca to report this to you!!
Why didnt you say so sooner?!
It was pointless to bring it up in that cave! Plus, its your fault, Galadriel! You made forget it!
I pressed a hand on her shoulder and shouted, I need more information! I need the ti theyll strike, their numbers, the location and their equipnt!
I dont know!!
Ling Yue was in pain, as I used too much strength; therefore, she pressed her hands on my shoulders. I didnt realise how much strength I used.
I have no ti and am in no mood to mind these trivial things. I need to know more. If they want to attack Troy City from here, itll only take them a few days; anwhile humanity is completely unprepared for war. Heck, the military was called back South.
How is my Troy City going to defend itself?!
I said, tell more! Arent you a noble?! Tell ! Tell
*Slap!*
Ling Yue pulled her hand back and looked at coldly. She then said, Calm down! I ca to inform you, not for you to find fault with! I wouldnt be in such a pathetic state if I knew their plan. Their leader is extrely cautious. He wouldnt let us, those who oppose war, find out any information. I only know so information. Ill tell you all I know, but whats the point of you getting worked up now?! Wheres your army?!
The native was a bit surprised to see get slapped in such fashion. However, he quickly interjected when there was a pause between us, She is right, Your Majesty. You should calm down for now. Our elders have realised the severity of the situation. That is why we want to discuss the upcoming war with you. Socina City is being attacked right now. If we do not hurry, Lord Karana is going to run back there alone.
Ah Yeah My guards and the military are there, so they should be able to hang on
I touched my cheek that Ling Yue slapped. I looked at her and spaced out a little. She looked at with a frown and muttered under her breath, Are you actually reliable?
I wont let the people in my territory get trampled on. I was planning on getting a step ahead, but Ill just have to defend first now.
I looked ahead and walked forward. I stepped passed the piled up snow and looked into the distance. I exclaid, If this is a war, I wont take a single step back, because Im a descendant of the Rosvenor family and the Galadriel tribe!
Lets hurry, then!
We went around the mountain path and arrived at a large empty space between the mountains. There was a big fire lit up in the centre of the area. A group of natives sat around the fire with their white animal fur draped on their shoulders. Behind them was a fully-equipped militia. Karana, Philes and the others sat around the fire with their cloaks draped over their shoulders. Karanas anxiety showed in her eyes. She couldnt ask for anything more than to return. It was her city, after all.
Youre here, esteed Prince.
An elder who was the leader stood up when he saw the two of us. The elders next to him stood up one after another and looked at us. I said, Its too late for formalities and drivel. Now, tell what happened. What did you exactly call here for? Socina City is currently under attack, so Im not willing to waste a second.
The elder laughed in a soft voice. He looked at and replied, Your Majesty, you and Her Majesty truly are cut from the sa mould. When she faced our pursuers back then, she could not wait to attack the sa way you want to go and rescue Socina right now. Her Majesty selflessly protected us back then. She gave us the right to live and freedom. We cannot give her anything, since we are in the snowy mountains, but it seems that we can repay you.
The elder firmly waved his hand, and then pointed to the fully-equipped soldiers behind to say, These are the most elite warriors in the mountain fortress nearby. Their bravery and combat skills are without equal. We can bravely fight with the anthropoids in the mountain. Your mother saved us, so allow us to repay you. Your Majesty, these soldiers shall follow your command!
I looked at them. Theyre all natives, but all of them looked as excited and nervous as one another. They looked as though they the battlefield wasnt a place of death, but a journey to glory.
I looked at them and simply asked, What do you want?
They looked at and responded loudly, Wine.
I froze for a mont, and then laughed loudly. I looked at them and swung my arms open. Courage is contagious. If one man steps forth, the thousands upon thousands behind him will also step forward. I was initially slightly afraid and puzzled, for I didnt know what I had to do next. Now, however, I could feel their courage when I looked at them. In that mont, I suddenly felt that all of the problems had been resolved.
No matter what city it is, its warriors are its invincible city walls!
All right. Weve never known each other until now; as a matter of fact, I didnt even know my mom protected you, but since youve chosen to follow , I shall let you feel proud as my mother did! If you devote your loyalty to , I shall give you as much glory and wine as you desire!
One more thing, Your Majesty.
I looked at the elder and he pulled a small figure out from behind him. She was clearly just a young girl. She had long-blonde hair and lifeless purple eyes that were similar to when Lucia is bored with nothing to do. She was really small in stature. She was probably around just twelve or thirteen, but the two long swords on her back and cloak that resembled of a wandering swordsman made her back look particular wide.
This is my daughter. She is the smartest and bravest warrior in our entire tribe. I shall now entrust her to you, Your Majesty. Please make the most of her bravery!
The elder pushed the young girl over to . I took a step back and beca alert. I developed a grudge against lolis after Alices stunt
Greetings, Your Majesty. I am Tanya Oradaidife Since you said that we do not need to be concerned with formalities, shall we go and slaughter those anthropoids now?
The young girl looked up at . I caught a tinge of savageness appearing in her purple eyes. She initially had an expressionless look, but when she said, slaughter those anthropoids, a savage smile surfaced on her face.
