Chapter 1702: The Approaching Threat

“Wait, what?! So it was true! Whoever is doing this must be more cunning than your average Undead,” Katherine said.
“It’s definitely someone strong and not the usual jobbers from before!” Gardenia said. “Perhaps an actual Death General under the Demon King of Death? An important one at least.”
“He or she most likely is…” I nodded. “The closer we approach, the more I can feel a powerful dark presence. They’re unleashing a full-on attack without hesitation! Damn it, we really lowered our guard. I should have prepared more and left an army of Spirits or something…!”
“Don’t blame yourself for something you couldn’t predict,” Mark said. “Look, we’re almost there now! We have to jump down to get there faster! Make your Yggdragon Golem make a mess of the army while we’re at it, Elayne!”
“Yeah, we have to wreck them good with all we’ve got!” Anna nodded. “We can’t hesitate anymore or hold back. All-out from the start!”
“If we don’t, that entire city could fall into ruins and be burned to the ground…” Monica muttered. “I don’t want the same thing that happened to the Luminous Kingdom’s Capital to happen to the Ice Fairy City…!”
“It won’t happen, don’t worry, Monica,” Elisa said, as she transformed. “We’re going down at full power! RAAAARRR!”
CRAAASH!
In her small golden dragon form, she broke through the golem’s walls and carried all of us before we could even think about a strategy!
“E-Elisa?! Isn’t this too reckless?!” Monica cried. “And since when can you go full dragon form IRL?!”
“Since now! I’ve been having difficulties doing it before, but I can definitely do it!” Elisa roared. “Now grab me tightly. We’re rushing down at full power!”
RUMBLE!
Her Aura erupted as lightning surged from her body, clearing the cloudy skies as she plummeted into the army like a thunderbolt, blowing up the surroundings, melting the ice, and evaporating it instantly.
BOOOM!
.
.
.It all happened too suddenly. From the depths of the Snowy Mountains, where the Ice Fairies lived peacefully, ruled by their benevolent Queen, Khione, who was the daughter of King Oberon, the King and God of the entire Realm of Avalon, something started emerging.
The fairies had sensed it the moment their footsteps became too numerous, and when they saw the snow crumbling down and the mountain trembling from within. Among the many strategies her foes could take, Khione had expected them to choose this one but still risked it, asking Elayne to take down the camp below the mountain just in case.
However, that was exactly what they were waiting for… no, what HE was waiting for, as he smiled viciously, his glowing, icy blue eyes releasing ice-cold flames, as he commanded his troops of Corrupted Barbarians from the Snowy Lands of the North to march forward.
Their conquest had started years ago, slowly, but now they had gathered over a thousand strong, and he felt it was more than enough, now that a part of Queen Khione’s army was engaged in a fierce battle with the troops he had left under the mountain, waiting for them to take the bait so this would be the perfect and ideal time to attack.
His plan was simple. He aimed to bait half of the Queen’s army to weaken her defenses! And it worked wonderfully. With her army smaller, he ordered his army to march toward battle without hesitation.
Not only were there Ice Trolls, but the tribes of barbarian Ice Goblins and Ice Orcs, both powerful and stronger, more savage versions of the normal Goblins and the rare Orcs, were also there!
The pig-like giants, capable of easily withstanding the cold, with ruthless red eyes and blue skin, Ice Orcs were able to pummel most threats easily. Being more intelligent than the Ice Trolls and more coordinated, they broke through the defenses of Queen Khione’s army quite easily.
The ever-cunning Ice Goblins, more ruthless and psychopathic than the normal and beloved Goblin folk, crafted deadly weapons imbued with their Frost Craft abilities, massive ballistae shooting huge arrows and cannons, bombarding the walls and the barrier, constantly trying to weaken it.
And lastly, the Ice Trolls moved forward, with a combination of traits from both, a perfect balance that, helped by their huge numbers, allowed them to spread quickly, beginning to push back Khione’s army and even crush the Queen’s Ice and Snow Golems, her last line of defense, which she employed to protect her palace as much as possible.
“This can’t keep going! Isn’t our army enough?! How many…! Was this what they planned all along?!”
The cataclysmic attack was felt. Queen Khione panicked, calling Elayne despite being a queen herself, as she floated above her castle, wearing a pristine dress made of ice scales and ice crystals, looking like the true queen she was, which she usually didn’t show inside her castle, as she was most often wearing her comfortable pajamas.
“I’ve already calculated, Queen Khione… there are approximately three hundred foes approaching,” Chloe calculated. As a high-end ice golem, she possessed an almost computer-like core, capable of rapidly calculating things.
“This isn’t good! Deploy the Formations! Strengthen the defenses of the Wall! Wounded Knights, please step back to be healed! What is the Magician Tower doing?! Are they not ready?!” Khione asked angrily.
“They are coming any minute, but they were caught by surprise, Your Majesty,” Chloe said. “Most Magicians were working inside the tower. Some were taking their day off…”
“This isn’t a matter of working or having days off. Their home will be destroyed if they don’t do anything!” Khione said angrily. “Tell them to hurry!”
As Khione panicked, her eyes widened as she saw four figures rushing forward. One reached the skies, and the other three jumped off the walls.
She quickly realized who they were…
“Elayne’s friends! Right, she did leave a few here…!” Khione cried out in happiness.
She saw Rita, Lily, and Jenny step into the middle of the war zone, valiantly fending off dozens of barbarians at once with their powerful auras and incredible weapons.
