Chapter 307: This place is too big
“How long has it been since we last met?” Frost softly said as she looked into the distance.
I thought for a moment, “Around half a month.”
“Half a month huh……” Frost let out a sigh and her lips twitched into a smile as she said, “Time passes so quickly. It’s almost as though I haven’t seen anything else but the revival of Dragon City.”
I glanced around, and noticed that there was a bandage wrapped around her shoulder. There was even quite a bit of blood on it and thus I asked, “That… who gave you that wound?”
Frost tilted her head and looked at me, “Oh, its nothing. I was just shot by an arrow. It was at a fight a week ago in the east part of the wilderness. Our reinforcements were attacked by a group of cowardly Thorn people. They were covered in sharp thorns, so they were hard to deal with, and there were over ten thousand of them…”
I asked, “Then how did you guys win against them?”
Frost smiled, as her beautiful eyes carried a hint of ruthlessness as she said, “We led them into a desolated valley, then burned them all to the ground. That way, they wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble for Dragon City’s Reinforcements…”
I shivered and said, “That…”
“Is that too cruel?” Frost turned around and smiled at me, her eyes completely cold, “For the sake of the rise of Dragon City, I’ve already sold my soul. For the sake of Dragon City, I’ll do whatever it takes, even if it means that I have to become a cold-blooded killer. I’m willing to do anything.”
I fell into deep thought and sat down on the side of the observation deck. My Emperor Qin’s Sword lay across my lap as I looked into the distance.
Frost looked at me and said, “What, do you think I’m too lowly for you now? Do you… do you want to leave me now?”
I said, “I won’t.”
“Why not?”
“Because I’ve said before: if you accept me, then I’ll use my life to protect Dragon City and protect you. That will never change in this lifetime.”
“That will never change in this lifetime… never change in this lifetime…”
Frost knit her brows together and said nothing more. She just stood at my side.
……
A few minutes later, Frost suddenly became alert. Her battle boots softly treaded on the snow as her body slowly drifted across the ground. Her beautiful eyes carried her battle spirit as she said, “Who is it! Get out here right now!”
“Frost, it’s me!”
From the air, a grey silhouette softly jumped down. It was a young general that carried a sword, clothed in an exquisite armor. His pair of deep black eyes reflected a playful look within them.
The person who came was none other than Luo Lin, Dragon City’s Earl, and our true commander.
Frost quickly knelt to the ground and said, “Mr. Luo Lin, please forgive your underling for being so disrespectful!”
Luo Lin nodded and said, “Please rise, it’s no big deal!”
Frost said, “Mister, aren’t you discussing important matters in the main hall? Why… why did you come to the observation deck all by yourself? It’s extremely cold here, you should go back…”
Luo Lin laughed and said, “Frost, did you forget that I had also started off as a scout like you? In the past, there were numerous cold nights when we had to go out into the sea of snow and kill violent beasts. What’s this little observation deck count as? I came out in the middle of the night to work out my bones and muscles, as well as to clear my head a bit…”
Frost was stunned, “Mister, is there anything worrying you?”
Luo Lin nodded and said, “Yup, just this afternoon, one branch of Dragon City’s cavalry was attacked in the Ba Huang Wilderness. Seven people were killed and we lost nine of our battle horses. Even the team’s leader, Aike, died in battle. He was a boy that I had brought from the town, and I was feeling a little guilty…”
“What?!”
Frost made a fist and angrily said, “Who dares to attack our recon cavalry troops?”
Luo Lin took a deep breath and said, “It was Ba Lin’s Unsullied Cavalry under the Wolf Clan’s Soul Devourer City’s duke in Ice Ridge Mountain!”
“The Unsullied Cavalry?”
“Yes.” Luo Lin’s face was heavy as he said, “Unsullied Cavalry. It’s a rare type of land based army. Every Unsullied soldier must be an orphan, and on the day they are born, they must be castrated. That way, they’ll lose all of their desires and will become stronger. Ba Lin that old bastard dug out a few wolf dens from outside of the city, and obtained over a thousand ice wolf cubs. He’s trained those ice wolves to become mounts, and has thus created a formidable Unsullied cavalry. They don’t feel any pain, and they only follow the orders of Ba Lin. Legend has it that whoever has Ba Lin’s sword can command that branch of one thousand Unsullied!
Frost’s beautiful eyes glowed, “Mister, you mean that…”
“Exactly!” Luo Lin waved his fist and smiled, “Dragon City is now facing danger from both the North and the West, so we need to quickly rebuild our strength. I plan to assign every soldier that is above rank 7 to attack the Soul Devourer Ci
