Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first? Chapter 451 - 66 Frost Titan
Soon, the report from the duty bishop in the BI surveillance room was delivered to the desk of the Cardinal of the International Strategic Departnt.
In the report, the bishop described in detail how The Azure Longsword rcenary Corps had committed multiple atrocities, shalessly using the Church Court’s no-attack stance to cover for the Emperor’s Alliance. He also emphasized his analysis of how they would beco increasingly arrogant, evil, and sleazy in exploiting this advantage to further hinder the Church Court’s subsequent tactical implentation. In the end, he requested the lift of the fire ban order against The Azure Longsword.
The extensive analysis of one hundred thousand words was returned by the Cardinal the next day.
Comnt: Disagree.
Let’s put that aside for now and talk about the Emperor’s Alliance. After a hard battle, the Synthetic Human troops and drone swarms had finally retreated.
The Duke and the knights began to reorganize their troops, only to find the casualty figures were unexpectedly high. Of course, if it were not for The Azure Longsword’s "Mobile Immortality Token Assistance," the casualties might have risen even more.
Even so, when The Azure Longsword rcenary Corps returned to the Emperor Camp, they were imdiately stopped by the Blade Warriors.
"What is the aning of this!" Everyone was locked in a small room, and Mia imdiately shouted indignantly, "We saved so many people, yet instead of rewarding us, we are being imprisoned as if we were spies?"
"It’s normal," dea sneered from the Mind Channel. "After all, those Synthetic Humans and drones from the Church Court didn’t attack us at all on the battlefield. The Emperor, seeing this, would naturally beco suspicious."
"So that’s it," Eleanor realized, "So that’s why we hastily engaged the drones and went around rescuing the Knight Corps, to clear our suspicions, right?"
"That was the intention, but it might not necessarily clear us," said dea calmly. "Given the Emperor’s suspicious nature, he might also not rule out the possibility that we were deliberately performing a masochistic tactic, destroying so drones ourselves to gain his trust."
"Plus, we are originally just a small rcenary group," Thira added. "Even if we’re wrongfully confined for a while, it probably won’t affect the current situation."
"How could this be!" Nora also complained sowhat annoyingly. It was disgusting that they had sincerely saved people, only to be treated as spies by the other party.
"Aren’t you going to say sothing, Aske?" Seeing that the Squad Leader had not spoken, Mia unhappily said.
"Actually, this is a good thing," said Aske.
What a good thing that is! The girls in the Mind Communication Channel were speechless.
"As everyone has seen, the Church Court’s army doesn’t attack us at all. So for whatever reason, at least we don’t have the opportunity to gain military rits in the short term. The more we kill, the more irrational it seems, and the easier it is to raise the Emperor’s suspicions," Aske analyzed for everyone. "Without military rits, without rewards, naturally, there won’t be a need to join the battlefield."
"Also, don’t worry about us being condemned. After all, we have the status of Eleanor here. Unless the Emperor is determined to offend the Weisbach family, it’s impossible to directly accuse us of collusion. I guess at most he would restrict our range of movent within the camp, and prevent us from participating in the follow-up decisions of the alliance—this, in fact, would be a good thing for us."
His last words were aningful, making the girls ponder deeply.
What is our goal? Of course, it’s to find out who is influencing Emperor Otto’s mind from behind.
If there are no tasks for a long ti and we can stay inside the camp legitimately, wouldn’t we have ti to conduct a secret investigation? On the contrary, being favored by the Emperor like before, being sent here and there, would actually be a real waste of ti!
"You’re right," a voice ca from outside, and Eleanor’s ancestor, Demigod Red-haired Otto, entered through the door with a smile:
"His Majesty has already ordered it; your suspicions have been cleared, and you can leave."
"But don’t leave the camp, it’s not safe outside," he winked at Aske.
Leaving the camp, Eleanor and Red-haired Otto went away, the Weisbach family needed to confirm the cause of today’s events... Although Eleanor definitely couldn’t explain a thing, the elders still had to ask.
The remaining people returned to the tents assigned to them. Now, the Emperor’s Alliance was located on the road from Verona to Bologna, with no small towns to stay in, so everyone had to live in tents.
The living conditions were a bit rough, but after the great battle during the day, most of the soldiers and knights were still grateful to be alive, so there were no complaints.
Of course, for the Azure Longsword rcenary Corps, who carry an island with them, whether living in tents or houses, the quality of life would never be a problem.
Upon returning to Fire Island, the first thing to do was to have Sigrdrifa quickly take the "Thunder III" potion she had obtained to advance to Lv.10 and acquire the "Frost Titan" bloodline.
After drinking the Magic Potion, Sigrdrifa’s skin suddenly turned to a silvery white, as if dusted with silver powder, and her bones started to crackle all over.
Then her body began to grow taller.
To be precise, it was her bones that started growing first, and the flesh could not keep up, so she imdiately showed a pained expression as if being stretched.
Nora quickly went to heal her, but as soon as she touched Sigrdrifa’s skin, she imdiately withdrew her hand as if she had been struck by an electric shock.
Her body was extrely cold.
With no other choice, Nora had to use the Healing Gun to heal her from a distance.
As the physical mutation expanded, many parts of Sigrdrifa’s body started to tear, and wounds burst forth with electric arcs and ice crystals. Luckily, Nora’s shooting skills had improved recently, so she targeted wherever the damage was most severe, stabilizing Sigrdrifa’s condition.
It wasn’t until her figure reached 8 ters tall that the bodily mutations gradually ceased. The cold air around her spread, making Mia and Miel, who were watching, start to sneeze.
Giant Sigrdrifa stretched out an arm, with lightning extending from her palm, gradually forming into a large Long Spear.
Then she hurled the thunder Long Spear forcefully into the sky.
"Hahaha." Sigrdrifa laughed heartily with her hands on her hips, her figure slowly shrinking back to its original size. "I’ve advanced to Lv.10 too!"
"Sigrdrifa, your hair!" Nora suddenly cried out in surprise.
"My hair?" Sigrdrifa picked up her hair and realized that her originally pale gold locks had completely turned platinum blonde.
The legendary Viking Clan’s signature Frost white hair.
"What a pity," Nora examined carefully and realized that the change in hair color was not due to a mutation, but the influence of her Frost power after her Bloodline Completion. Even if she dyed it back to gold, the new growth would still be white.
"What’s there to regret?" Sigrdrifa said nonchalantly. "Eleanor already has blonde hair, I want to have a different hair color than hers."
"White hair makes you look old," Nora said regretfully.
"I actually think it’s quite nice," Aske comnted. "It’s not the dim white of an old person, but a lustrous silver-white, and this color seems softer. Take a closer look?"
Nora: ?!!
Wait, Aske, you couldn’t possibly have a thing for white hair, could you? She imdiately beca vigilant.
