Chapter 837: Chapter 703 Peaceful Times_2

And in the middle of the lake, there was a person.

“Sigh!”

Zuo Fang immediately pulled on the reins, and the horse raised its front hooves high, coming to an abrupt stop.

The person sitting cross-legged in the center of the lake rested his chin in one hand, and when Zuo Fang slowed down to approach, merely lazily turned his head to glance over.

“Dragon Whelp, what are you doing here?”

Zuo Fang dismounted and stood on the shore of the ice lake.

Luo Kun looked at him somberly: “Waiting for you guys.”

Zuo Fang was trying to step and test the ice on the lake’s surface. Hearing this, he just scoffed in disbelief.

He surveyed his surroundings, then once more set his gaze on the youth in the center of the lake. Noting the latter’s tattered clothes, it indeed seemed like the aftermath of a fierce battle.

He teased, “Didn’t catch her?”

However, Luo Kun seemed disinterested and diverted his gaze from Zuo Fang, not deigning to respond, and merely lowered his eyes to the ice where he sat cross-legged.

Zuo Fang’s gaze flickered: “What’s beneath this lake?”

Hence, the youth deigned to cast his eyes on him once more, feigning a distressed sigh, then said with a slight sense of grievance:

“That Elf ran down there. I’m seeing if I can wait for her to come out.”

“…”

A twitch formed at the corner of Zuo Fang’s mouth.

Combining the condition of the battle in the Frost Forest just now with the youth’s words, Zuo Fang felt he could roughly guess what had happened.

——The Ice and Snow Elf did indeed engage in battle with this dragon, and this fellow forced the Elf to freeze an entire forest, then chose to retreat underwater to escape, freezing the entire lake as well to prevent the dragon from continuing the pursuit.

Zuo Fang had previously tested the hardness of the ice, estimating it must be frozen to a depth of a dozen or so meters, likely all the way to the lakebed.

Upon this thought.

Zuo Fang pondered for a moment and said: “Is there a possibility that the Elf has already left through a hidden channel beneath the lake and that you’re waiting here in vain?”

Luo Kun looked at him.

Then suddenly flashed a bloodthirsty grin: “Is there a possibility that I know that, and that’s why I’m saying I was waiting for you?”

As he spoke these words, there was a mix of seriousness and a look of seeing someone foolish in those dark red eyes of the youth.

Zuo Fang: “…”

Zuo Fang expressionlessly withdrew his gaze, pretending to survey the surroundings. While looking around, he suddenly remembered something very important!

“Wait, where are the other Sun Knights?!”

Zuo Fang sharply turned to look at the youth.

They had been tracking the Sun Knights held up in the mountain ranges from outside, following the Compass’s direction all the way, without a doubt on the right path!

Hearing this, Luo Kun’s mouth curled into a smile tinged with bloodlust: “Don’t know, but they were quite delicious.”

Zuo Fang frowned deeply. After staring at the youth for a while, he took out the Compass.

The residual Light Magic had not yet dissipated; the Compass still pointed in the direction they were heading, implying the Order of the Sun Knights should be further ahead.

This Knight Squad did not meet up at the designated location.

Nor were they keeping watch by this dragon.

After thinking it over, Zuo Fang looked towards Luo Kun and asked, “Whom did the knights go after, and did they leave any message for you?”

Perhaps Zuo Fang’s reaction did not meet his expectations, Luo Kun seemed a bit disinterested as he pursed his lips, then resting his chin on his hand again, he said: “Don’t know~”

“Then you keep on waiting here.”

Why bother with more words when there’s no agreement.

Zuo Fang couldn’t be bothered to waste any more time chattering and immediately returned to the shore, mounted his horse, preparing to continue pursuing his Knight Order.

The collective strength of the Order of the Sun Knights was enough to rival thousands of troops. If they were to lose a squad here, it would be a great loss and would also impact the final battle for supremacy.

So, it was necessary to find that squad.

Moreover.

The target that the squad was tracking might very well be the person they had chased to this place.

Otherwise, it would be inexplicable why the knights did not meet up.

As he was about to leave, Luo Kun suddenly spoke up: “Where is your Papal?”

“The hell would I… cough, the whereabouts of His Holiness the Papal are not something we should conjecture about. Now that there’s a method to deal with the Magical Beasts, whether we need you or not is irrelevant, you’re off the hook.”

Zuo Fang, who almost misspoke, remembered there were NPCs around.

Sitting astride his horse, he looked down at the youth not far away, snorted with disdain, and then galloped away from the ice lake, leading the remaining Sun Knights back into the forest ahead.

Luo Kun watched him ride off quickly, his dark red eyes narrowing slightly with a flash of displeasure.

After a long pause.

Luo Kun stood up, stomped fiercely on the ice, and cracks rapidly spread across the entire lake surface, followed by a boom!

The ice lake burst into a shower of broken ice chunks.

Beneath it, there really wasn’t even a drop of water left.

And that Ice and Snow Elf indeed used the freezing of the lake to escape through the undercurrent at the lakebed into the underground river and left the area.

…

Zuo Fang said to forget about that dragon.

He truly had no intention of bothering with it anymore.

However, as he led the Knight Order galloping for tens of kilometers, a fiercely savage aura suddenly erupted from behind, like an ancient beast awakened, bringing with it the fishy smell of sea winds and a thick scent of blood!

Whooosh——

The violent friction noise came from behind; a vast shadow instantly covered the sunlight above.

Zuo Fang turned his head in astonishment to look.

All he saw was a swath of treetops sheared off, and a pitch-black figure swiftly swooped in from afar, those gigantic red eyes emitting a vicious light!

“Fuck, do you want to die?!”

Zuo Fang cursed out loud.

The Order of the Sun Knights was also taken aback, feeling that strong and ferocious dense blood qi, their bodies were already subconsciously gathering the Power of Light, ready to battle at any moment.

A colossal black dragon pressed down from the sky.

Its entire black body, tens of meters in size, with wings outstretched, eclipsed the sky and directly snapped the treetops it passed.

Zuo Fang now knew how those treetops were broken.

And that dragon was charging straight over now!

With incredible speed!

Its sharp wings swept over the heads of the Order of the Sun Knights, bringing a gust of fishy wind, but then it soared to the heavens and quickly disappeared into the distance.

From the woods came the sounds of whinnying horses accompanied by the rustle of falling branches and leaves and dust filling the air.

In an instant, the place became chaotically disordered.

The knights’ horses panicked.

Even further away, there were continuous roars of wild beasts, their voices filled with fear and panic, indicating that the beasts living in the vicinity were also startled.

Probably going to move house in terror again.

Zuo Fang quickly used magic to calm his own horse, then looked up glaring at the shadow of the black dragon, and shouted to the still calming knights:

“You all catch up on your own, I’ll go slay the dragon first!”

“My lord?!”

The knights hadn’t managed to calm their Grand Commander, only to see their Chief Knight boldly spur his horse to give chase, his suddenly erupting momentum not less than that of the black dragon.

Sun Knight: “…”

Well, not necessarily so.

…

…

One side was in mayhem chasing after each other.

On the other hand.

Snowflakes were fluttering in the Far North Mountain Range, a picture of tranquility.

The Silver Shield Legion, which set off at midnight, marched smoothly all the way, encountering neither the perilous cold of Extreme Frost nor the obstructions of Magical Beasts, even the previously challenging blizzards no longer posed a hindrance to their trek.

At the temporary encampment.

Xu Shuo, looking at the map, said: “I’ll leave through this route then, you all continue on the original path towards Rheine City. Duke of Rheine has already made preparations and will provide cover for this legion.”

Duke of Silver had no problem: “Alright.”

But there was another issue among them.

Both turned their gaze to the Ice and Snow Elf, who all the while had a face showing no emotion, neither sorrow nor joy, still as a lake, as if she had already reached enlightenment.

“Catalina, do you want to stay here or leave with me?” Xu Shuo asked.

“Whatever.” The Ice and Snow Elf spoke indifferently.

“Then stay.” Xu Shuo said.

“Not staying.”

“Then leave with me.”

“…”

The Ice and Snow Elf didn’t speak anymore.

Whether the Ice and Snow Elf stayed or followed along, it didn’t really matter to them.

If she stayed, there was Duke of Silver to deal with this Elf; if she followed, Xu Shuo would be able to control her, so they didn’t need to worry about her causing any mischief at all.

But there was one advantage to staying here.

That was to help the Silver Shield Army block the wind and snow.

Perhaps, this was why Catalina was unwilling to stay, after all, she didn’t have enough time to loathe the Silver Shield Army, let alone help them.

The whole journey she had been coerced!

Thus, there is really no such thing as “whatever” in this world.
