Chapter 31: The Second Seven-Day War (Part 2)
Seven Days War.
This war was a battle known to everyone in the Southern Continent. It was the pacing war between the Youyu Kingdom, one of the world's great powers, whose territory covered the entire northern part of the Southern Continent.
More than a hundred years ago, the predecessor of Youyu Kingdom, Lingxia Kingdom, was destroyed in a large-scale coup, and a situation began where various heroes divided the country and declared themselves kings. Seventy-five years ago, a man named Na Liancang, holding the blood of the clouds, killed or subdued the heroes from all over the country within seven days. He gained leadership of various places with lightning speed, ruthlessly wiped out his opponents, and finally established a new unified regime - the current Youyu Royal Family.
Although that legend has been passed down to this day and has been somewhat mythological, the fact is that Lian Cang's methods were ruthless, his plans were meticulous, and his power was enormous.
He quietly bribed talented people, made plans silently, made a contract with Xiaxue without telling anyone, and made arrangements for two whole years. Then, within seven days, he brought everything to the surface without any doubt or waiting for others to react. He accumulated a lot of knowledge and then released it all. Calmly and arrogantly, he stepped on a large area of land.
Lian Cang was not omnipotent. He was able to travel back and forth across such a vast land within seven days only because of the teleportation and positioning crystals set up by his trusted confidants who were ambushing in various places. It was impossible for one person to wipe out all threatening people one by one and arrange everything neatly. However, none of his subordinates were willing to stand in the light of day. Even to this day, no one's identity and appearance have been verified. Therefore, the people of Youyu uniformly called them the Wangling Army.
And the one who ruled them, Na Liancang, a combination of the founding emperor of Youyu, a wise king and a tyrant, was respectfully called the "Wuliang Emperor" by the people with a mixture of admiration and fear.
It was this legendary war that elevated the image of the imperial-level weapon Xiaxue to the level of a divine artifact that created the world in people's minds, and even generated a fanatical belief.
Then, now, one of the creators of this legend stood in the reception room of Lord Hayat's mansion and spoke the same domineering words as he did in front of Lian Cang.
"Seven days should be enough."
The black-haired, golden-eyed Number One Warrior narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around at everyone in the room and said this. In contrast, everyone in the room changed their expressions after hearing these words.
"Xiaxue, are you serious?" Beichen frowned slightly. "I heard Yinyue talk about the situation in the Black Swamp. There aren't any Moon Envoys below level six there, and the density is terrifyingly high. There are also some large, ferocious animals that seem to have been mutated by the Moon Envoys' astral spirits for too long. The natural environment is completely undeveloped, with many natural mazes. Once you enter, there is no chance to resupply. What if the supplies are exhausted and you can't move forward or backward? Are you really going to wait for death there?"
Without waiting for Xiaxue to answer, Xiaoping spoke.
"So you have to prepare well. Do you think the Seven Days War really only lasts seven days? Lian Cang prepared for those seven days for two whole years.
Now that we have Li Ye's advanced production department, we can mass-produce the Spirit Crystals "Returning Home" to ensure that every leading soldier has one. The storage space must be cleaned up and the recovery Spirit Crystals, water, and food must be brought in as much as possible. Gu Yinyue and those with experience in surviving in the wilderness will immediately teach survival skills. The Darkfallen with levitation abilities will first survey the wilderness terrain in small groups, draw maps, and distribute them to the commanders of each legion—"
Seeing how detailed Xiao Ping’s arrangements were, Beichen immediately understood.
Perhaps it really was feasible, otherwise Xiao Peng, with his cautious nature, would never have agreed to Xia Xue's suggestion. Then—in other words—after this fierce battle, they could truly have a home that truly belonged to them.
very good.
She took a breath and looked at everyone in the room.
This time, let her repeat the myth of the Seven Days War.
"Then let's start from now." She turned to look at Lingdier, "Your Majesty Lingdi Miya, please forgive me for not being able to entertain you warmly today, as we will be busy from now on."
"Wow, I kind of regret giving Hyatt to you guys."
Ling Dier twitched his lips as he looked at the group of people in front of him with excited expressions.
"Although I've always known you guys are reckless, even more reckless than me, but to go to this extent... is really disrespectful to me. ...Okay, okay, who can compare to the Red Moon Priestess? I'll just be a good Queen of Arcadia. Damn it... Having the moon as your backer is so annoying."
She muttered to herself, scratched her hair, stood up from her seat, and smiled proudly at everyone.
"Then I wish you all good luck in martial arts."
Two months later, the busy Hayat County welcomed a special guest.
Originally, the residents of the territory had been somewhat apprehensive about the change of lord, and coupled with rumors that the new lord was the Red Moon Priestess, many people moved out of the Hyat Territory overnight. But unexpectedly, after the new lord moved in with a large army, he did not do anything to harm the residents. He simply cleared a large area of land for training the army, and also purchased a large amount of recovery spirit crystals, water, and food. The lord's mansion was extremely busy with people coming in and out all day long.
Although many people suspected that the new lord was preparing to start a war, seeing that the black-clad army seemed relatively friendly to the onlookers and did not commit any evil deeds such as conscription or forced buying and selling, many people put their minds at ease.
At the same time, the lord also issued a strange order: if you see a human-shaped possessed Moon Messenger with knee-length hair, don't panic and don't attack. When issuing the order, he specifically emphasized the "knee-length hair" and added a comment: If the hair is longer than the ankles or does not reach the knees, immediately evade it. Of course, this emphasis is used to distinguish Atlas from the other possessed Moon Messenger.
So, on that day, when people saw the devilish figure in the sky, they were not only surprised and puzzled, but also became more curious about the lord.
The one who came was Atlas.
When Beichen noticed the commotion coming from the people in the city, he and Yagard were bargaining with the merchants selling spirit crystals about purchasing a large number of recovery spirit crystals. Halfway through their conversation, they heard shouts from the other side of the street, such as "It's the human-shaped possessed Moon Messenger! He really has knee-length hair..." and "Come and see, he's flying over here!"
When I looked up, I saw Atlas lowering its wings and gliding at a low altitude of several meters above the street ground, rushing towards this side!
“Atlas!!”
Beichen happily opened his arms and ran towards him, and Atlas was so excited that he swung his tail hard, hugged Beichen and glided a few meters high before stopping.
"Great, you're okay... Are your injuries okay?"
"Beichen. Beichen."
Atlas just kept rubbing his chin against Beichen's head in his arms like an abandoned dog, feeling aggrieved and excited.
"Be good, be good. I'm glad you're okay. It's my fault for not protecting you well..."
Beichen soothed him softly, then gently patted the tail that was wrapped around his wrist.
"It's not Beichen's fault." Atlas shook his head. "I'm not strong enough. So I went back and installed some enhancement plug-ins."
“…Huh?”
Atlas, however, continued to act coquettishly and answered irrelevantly: "Beichen. Does Beichen have any enemies now? I want to make a contribution. I haven't seen Beichen in 129 days, and I miss him very much. If I make a contribution, Beichen will reward me."
"Uh... other rewards are fine, but estrus is not allowed."
“…”
Atlas's red eyes immediately darkened in grievance.
Beichen coughed awkwardly a few times in his arms, then turned around and found that the crowd of onlookers around him had already crowded into a huge crowd. He quickly shouted to Yagad who was standing aside:
"Agad, our companions are finally here. Let's resolve the remaining issues today and officially implement the plan tomorrow!"
"Yes, Miss Yaxiu."
Yagard nodded respectfully, then took out the huge silver-white long-handled axe from behind and chopped it down at the face of the merchant uncle on the side!
Before Beichen could call for a stop, he saw the merchant sitting on the ground with a pale face, and the long-handled axe was buried deep in the ground between his legs, less than five centimeters away from the collapse.
The colorless demon knight spoke expressionlessly:
"Over one million Swiss francs, are you selling it?"
"……Sell."
The poor businessman, almost frightened to the point of incontinence, trembled as he agreed to this deal that made him want to cry but not even cry.
"I see. Record complete." Atlas in mid-air nodded thoughtfully.
"Atlas, don't just learn this. This is wrong! Yagad, don't lead a good (?) child astray!"
Thus, another busy day was spent in the joyful atmosphere brought by Atlas' return.
Then the next day, the territory of Hayat was shrouded in a murderous aura, and the questions that people had been suspicious and worried about finally had clear answers.
Their leader, Yashu Tuling, also known as the Red Moon Priestess, is preparing to march towards the uninhabited wilderness in the west.
On the ground were the Night Cavalry composed of black iron armor and light armor, while in the sky was the army of the Fallen Dark Race, floating like a black cloud. The army slowly marched towards the west, bringing with it the sound of orderly footsteps like earth rumblings, making every place they passed by silent and still except for the roar.
The Seven-Day War officially began.
The previous war was a war with humans, but this time it is a war with nature and the environment.

Title: ◆The Second Seven-Day War·Day 1◆
At the entrance to the western wilderness, the army was divided into three groups under the command of Beichen. One group was led by Xifeng, accompanied by Atlas and Lahan; one group was led by Xiaxue, accompanied by Gu Yinyue, his weapons and the dagger Noval; and one group was the main force led by Beichen (with the twins), Xiaoping and Yagard. Yaye led three thousand fallen dark species to follow the main army. Two thousand fallen dark species with larger storage space formed a transport team to transport supplies, and the other four thousand were divided equally among the other two armies. At the same time, a spiritual crystal "return home" teleportation point was set up on the periphery. Recovery staffs and production staffs set up camp in the safe zone, responsible for first aid for injured soldiers returning to the base, and delivering supplies to the transport team of the fallen dark species.
After the deployment was completed, the three armies officially raised their weapons and launched a challenge to the unknown land ahead according to the routes planned on the map that the Fallen Dark Races had investigated in advance.
Two hours later, the three armies officially set foot into the strange wasteland dominated by strange beasts.
The first thing the warriors faced was a fierce attack from a large number of level six rhinos and giant deer-type possessed moon messengers. The huge beasts, with a roar of anger and a sound that made the ground rumble, rushed towards this side as a whole. However, in front of the well-trained soldiers, this momentum could not scare them.
"Ninth level Spirit Crystal Fire Dragon is ready."
In the center of the left wing army, Xifeng pointed his gun at the attacking group of giant beasts.
"Prepare the ninth-level Spirit Crystal Wind Cannon."
In front of the right-wing army, Xiaxue smiled with ease, raised his hand and shouted.
"Ninth-level Spirit Crystal Lightning Preparation—"
In front of the main force in the middle lane, Beichen raised his hook claw high, and then swung it fiercely at the dust and smoke in front of him that was flashing with blue and purple light!
Hundreds of fire dragons roared and raised blood-red tornadoes all over the sky. Hundreds of high-pressure wind columns almost completely cut the atmosphere in front of them. Millions of purple lightning connected the sky and the earth, covering the land in front in a dazzling cage of lightning.
In an instant, the screams and cries almost pierced people's eardrums, and the stench of fishy and burning smells spread to every inch of the air. After the attack stopped, one huge corpse after another could hardly maintain its intact shape and fell in front of the army. However, in the distance behind their corpses, another wave of roaring beasts galloping was rapidly approaching.
The leaders of the three armies raised their hands calmly and shouted to the soldiers behind them:
"Long-range weapons, prepare—"

Title: ◆Second Seven-Day War·Day 2◆
The secret code spirit crystal danced gently up and down on the small pond, knocking at the water surface. As it knocked, the water surface constantly changed various colors.
Xifeng wrote down the codes representing the colors, as well as the rhythm and pauses of each group, on a piece of paper, then picked up the paper and looked at it for dozens of seconds.
"How do you say it?"
Lahan on the side drank a sip of water, wiped the blood off his face and patted Xifeng's shoulder.
Xifeng frowned in disgust, but this was a battlefield and no one would buy into his cleanliness, so he said nothing and just glanced at the front of the battle line a few hundred meters away.
There, Atlas held up his Star Wings, with a totem made of photons suspended around him. This totem was condensing into several thin beams of light that looked like laser cannons. They made countless complex angles in the air and roared towards the enemies surrounding them from all directions - it seemed to be a new means of attack, and it was said that some new enhancement plug-in had been installed.
"We've advanced ten sangmars on the east route, and thirteen sangmars on the center route. There have been no major casualties so far."
Xifeng quickly summarized the battle report to Lahan, then narrowed his eyes and loaded his gun.
"We're only eight Sanmars away, and we're currently the most backward. Why don't you go kill a few more possessed moon messengers instead of just drinking water and minding your own business?"
"Eh. But it's so boring, there are smelly men everywhere, it already stinks, and now the smell of blood makes it even stinkier. Why didn't I join the main force──"
Lahan complained as he rushed to the front line with two swords in hand. Xifeng followed with a gun, but he did not stop talking:
"Why, following the main force, do you want to seduce Xiang Beichen?"
Lahan cut off one of the possessed Moon Envoy's feet with a knife: "What are you doing? No way. It's rare to meet someone who looks so much like my past self. I haven't teased him enough yet."
Xifeng shot out several red beams, shattering the monster that Lahan had chopped down.
"You think you can tease her? Why are you teasing this slutty woman?"
"... Wait, that's inconsistent."
Atlas in the distance: "The light floating cannon has finished cooling down. The second wave of attack begins."
Boom, boom, amid the cheers of the black-clad warriors, the human-shaped possessed Moon Messenger expressionlessly blew up a large number of enemies, then led everyone over the huge corpses and rushed forward quickly.
Lahan: "That guy is more like a leader than you, a guy who gets jealous on the battlefield."
Xifeng: "What do you know? Before he set out, he said he wanted to get the most kills and become that woman's lover. Does working hard to kill enemies with that excuse make him a hero?"
Lahan: "That's the romance of youth. I see. Counting the kills? Okay, I'll give it a try!"
Xifeng: "Lahan, stop right there!"
Several short, angry blasts from sniper rifles were heard above the Western Army's front line.
SZ821745578_1.3:
Title: ◆The Second Seven-Day War: Day 3◆
"ha!"
Gu Yinyue let out a deep and explosive roar from his chest, raised Longyun high and chopped it down heavily!
In an instant, Longyun, with the shrill roar of the wind, raised a huge sword energy visible to the naked eye and rushed straight towards the giant beast in front, and then split it in half from the middle - even after the sword energy split the enemy in front, it still rushed forward with the residual power, and hit the other giant beast, spurting out a large piece of blue and purple blood.
Many of the Night Cavalry soldiers behind him gasped in admiration, and even Xiaxue on the side couldn't help but blow a whistle.
"Huh, huh. Hooking Life Silver Moon lives up to its reputation. If you were a busty beauty, I'd really like to let you try it out."
"No." Gu Yinyue wiped the blood from his face and turned to stare at the other beast charging towards him. "A big chest will affect the body's flexibility. It will sway back and forth. It's uncomfortable just thinking about it."
“…”
Xiaxue's mouth twitched. At the same time, the cooling time of Naraka in the distance ended, and another wave of gorgeous and fierce area attacks was launched, aiming at the group of giant beasts in front!
"Oh my god, my limelight is about to be stolen. This won't do."
The first weapon curled his lips and shook his wrist. The long sword with a black hilt and a golden photon blade in his hand emitted a dazzling light, and then changed its appearance with a buzzing sound in the air, as if it had finally taken out its original form.
──It was an extremely beautiful black longsword, with countless complex and gorgeous stripes of light carved on the black hilt. On the blade composed of golden photons, there was faintly some beautiful totem flashing. The air around the blade was distorted, and the scene became crooked. On the stone ground closest to the tip of the sword, the stone was actually squeezed by the high pressure and cracks appeared on it.
"Well, everyone, please stay away from me. I'm about to start eating."
The black-haired, golden-eyed warrior chuckled, then tiptoed and disappeared from the spot. The next second, a loud buzzing sound like air buzzing came from the center of the group of giant beasts in front of him, and a thin golden line ran horizontally through the enemy group. Then, before anyone could react, several giant beasts had already fallen to the ground with a loud bang.
There was no sound in Xiaxue's killing, because the enemies died before they could even scream.
Xiaxue doesn't need friendly forces on the battlefield, because he alone is enough to kill any enemy that approaches within a few meters of him.
Xiaxue's performance does not require any gimmicks, because even the most ordinary actions become a visual feast in his hands.
He bent his arm and made a common sweep, and the sword light drew a long, perfect golden straight line in the air. After time stopped for a few seconds, the enemy's body was scattered along the straight line and fell to the ground.
He stretched out his hand and swung a few times, and a golden afterimage extended from his body like a gorgeous aurora. The sound of photons rang, and in this gorgeous light, the splattering blood was like fireworks.
He raised his sword and made a simple forward thrust, but a complex photon ring condensed from the tip of the sword, and then a high-pressure sword energy that could tear everything apart came out, directly blowing the possessed Moon Messenger who was about to fire the Star Spirit Cannon a hundred meters away into ashes, without even a hair or a nail left!
Although the blade is only about 1.5 meters long, its attack range reaches hundreds of meters. Although it is a long sword weapon used for single combat, its results are indeed that of an anti-army weapon.
——This is the power of Xiaxue, the first weapon that enjoys the fanatical worship of all people in Senagard.
Three hours later, the right front advanced twenty kilometers.
SZ821745578_1.4:
Title: ◆The Second Seven-Day War·Day 4◆
The left-wing army advanced steadily and has now entered a large area of virgin forest.
Because of the complex terrain, the army not only has the mission of killing the enemy, but also has to carry out preliminary reclamation of the forest, at least to remove some natural traps that pose a huge threat to human habitation.
Atlas used its scanning function to lead the way above the army, while Zephyr observed the 3D terrain map on the ground and commanded the entire army to move forward cautiously.
As they entered the forest, the number of possessed moon messengers decreased significantly, while all kinds of ferocious animals, even those that had never been seen outside the wilderness, emerged in droves.
Animals are real living creatures, and their intelligence is obviously much higher than that of the possessed Moon Messenger. In addition, the terrain is not conducive to the human army, so the advancement speed has slowed down significantly, and there have been a small number of casualties. Xifeng has kept the number of deaths to a minimum, and has not been stingy with the use of recovery spirit crystals. The transport troops of the Fallen Dark Seed have begun to move more frequently.
However, this situation didn't last long. After the initial, somewhat awkward battle, which relied heavily on the consumption of supplies, the warriors, now experienced in battling ferocious beasts, finally began to steadily counterattack.
At dusk, Xifeng ambushed on the branches of a thousand-year-old tree and used a bomb to smash the head of the suspected king of the forest - a giant silver lion with long horns, finally announcing that the Left Route Army had completely occupied this large area of virgin forest.
After that, the animals' arrogance noticeably subsided. Instead of attacking, they wailed and scurried away. The next hour's march became especially effortless. Xifeng, at the head of the group, finally shook off the midday gloom and walked briskly, clutching his prize—the horn of the giant silver lion.
"Hey. Pretty nice thing."
Lahan came over to look at the silver horn in Xifeng's hand. It was made of a strange substance, translucent, with silver sand in the middle, dotted with unknown luminous substances. It emitted a soft and beautiful blue-white light in the moonlight. It would definitely look great if it was made into some kind of jewelry.
"What are you going to do with it?"
"Make bullets."
Xifeng answered without thinking, and Lahan tilted his head in confusion.
"Making bullets? Is this thing offensive?"
"No, it's for making bullet pendants."
“…”
Since it's just a pendant, why bother with the bullet shape? ——Lahan just complained in his mind, and Xifeng added:
"Or maybe a necklace with a lock would be nice. The look of someone wearing it and wanting to take it off but being unable to would surely be delightful. Or maybe earrings? If they were pierced directly into an unpierced ear, the red color of human blood would be beautiful."
"...You're a pervert, right? I thought I was a pervert, but compared to you, I feel so normal!"
Snap—the sound of a gun being loaded.
"What did you say?"
"...No, I didn't say anything. Just say, let's not have internal strife during the march, Commander Xifeng."
Just as Lahan and Zephyr were leading their troops forward and arguing with each other, Atlas, which was flying in the sky, suddenly flew down excitedly and swung its tail at Zephyr.
"Xifeng. I got some spoils too. I want to give some to Beichen too."
"Oh?" Xifeng raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say that my spoils would be given to that woman, but let me see what you got."
"Yeah, very beautiful."
Atlas was clearly excited, the tip of his tail cocked.
Then he lowered his hands, which had been folded across his chest—there lay a dozen bloody eyeballs of various sizes, belonging to unknown animals.
"..." Lahan silently held his forehead, "There must be a difference in the aesthetics of humans and the possessed Moon Envoy, hahahaha."
But Xifeng's next words almost made Lahan fall flat on his face:
"Hmm. Not bad. It will be good if you wash it clean. It would be better if you soak it in different potions."
"Mmm-hmm. Let me try. It's beautiful."
Atlas flicked his tail and nodded vigorously.
"Help! I'm surrounded by perverts! I'm such a normal, good man! Hahahahahahahaha!!"
The roar of the Ghost Eye Mercenary, who was suffering from cultural shock, echoed in the night sky of the primeval forest.
SZ821745578_1.5:
Title: ◆The Second Seven-Day War: Day 5◆
As soon as Xiaxue's weapon's true form was unsheathed, the advancement of the right front lost all suspense.
The right army was now located in a huge canyon, with unknown beautiful minerals everywhere along the way. Although the scenery was beautiful and there were fewer possessed moon messengers, the army was instead harassed by countless winged animals that looked like small flying dragons living here.
Originally, this would have been an extremely serious situation, because no one except the Fallen Dark Race could fly. To kill those animals, they could only rely on long-range weapons. However, flying things in the air were not easy to aim at. Over time, humans would definitely be at a disadvantage - but now, these were not a problem.
Not to mention that Naraka's aiming didn't require a crosshair at all, the chain explosions of more than a dozen light balls in the air would always be able to blow up a few of them. Xiaxue also demonstrated his powerful long-range attack ability, aiming - stabbing forward - aiming - stabbing forward -, with such simple movements repeated, the small flying dragon-like animals in the sky were stabbed down one by one by the sword light, and Xiaxue, the person involved, even hummed an unpleasant tune while leisurely walking forward, not taking those things seriously at all, looking like he really wanted a beating.
After a while, the flying dragons seemed to realize that the enemy in front of them was not easy to deal with, so they called out to each other to convey signals, and then slowly retreated.
"Hmph~Huff~Huff~"
Xiaxue continued to hum the song with a slightly smug smile. Although it was extremely unpleasant to listen to, he was the boss here and was so strong that he could kill people with just a sneeze. Therefore, everyone just dared not say anything and endured it with a tingling scalp.
It was not until late at night, when the army had occupied the entire canyon and set up camp, that Gu Yinyue suddenly spoke boldly.
"Xiaxue, I don't mean to ruin your interest in singing, but as a fellow singer, I want to give you some advice."
"Hey, traveling together?" Xiaxue raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Do you like music too?"
"I wouldn't say I like it, but I understand it a little. You sang forty-five lines wrong in the song you just sang."
Longyun, who was standing next to him, staggered. "You idiot monk, don't you know what a white lie is?! That song only has forty-seven verses!"
Sure enough, Xiaxue's mouth twitched.
But Gu Yinyue didn't seem to care and continued, "Let me sing the correct tune for once."
So, Xiaxue was still a little unconvinced, but when the low, hoarse, desolate, wild, and magnetic bass voice floated over the camp, he was speechless and just stared at Gu Yinyue with shining eyes:
"Is there anyone interested in opening a singing training class? I would like to join!"
"No, not really. If you hadn't sang today, I would have almost forgotten I had this skill."
“…”
So Xiaxue finally realized how much he deserved a beating in the eyes of others when he sometimes killed enemies while farting.
Finally he decided to change the subject.
"By the way, I have a question."
"Please go ahead."
"...Did Beichen tell you about the last match? Did she tell you why she lost?"
"It seems like it's due to drug addiction. Why?"
"Oh, nothing."
Xiaxue's mood seemed to improve a lot all of a sudden, and he began to hum again:
"Hmph~Huff~Huff~"
"The third note is wrong."
“…”
The army on the right continued to advance well for 18 kilometers today, but for some reason, the leader Xiaxue was in a very depressed mood.
SZ821745578_1.6:
Title: ◆The Second Seven-Day War: Day Six◆
Compared with the other two armies, the army in the middle marched through the flat plains. Although there was no difficulty in advancing, the number of enemies was relatively dense to an astonishing degree.
Looking at the possessed moon messengers all over the mountains, Beichen wondered several times whether it was because no one had lived here for so many years that the possessed moon messengers had been piling up here.
Of course, they have so many excellent warriors here, as well as the help of Yaye, Gemini, Xiaoping and Yagad. Even when facing such a huge army, she still doesn't feel too afraid.
Over the course of six days, the central army's advance did not encounter any major obstacles. There were only a few instances of shortages of spirit crystals and food. However, with the transport team of the Fallen Dark Race, the difficult battle lasted less than a few hours before being resolved. There were casualties, but the number was not worrying.
After crossing the plains, they arrived at a strange, vast area resembling an ice field. There were no possessed moon angels or ferocious animals here. The ground beneath their feet was smooth, mirror-like, and surrounded by beautiful, translucent, natural cone-shaped crystals that resembled ice, but were not cold.
The Fallen Dark Races had already figured out the situation here during their previous exploration activities, and the Beichen people also regarded this large crystal plain, which seemed quite quiet because there were no living creatures, as the gathering place for the three armies.
There is a reason why there are no living creatures here.
Deep in this crystal prairie, there lives a giant queen insect of unknown species, surrounded by thousands of giant flying insects. These insects are not threatening individually, but if they attack in groups, even the King of Disasters cannot withstand their bites - the sharp needles on their tails seem to carry paralyzing neurotoxins, and if you are pricked, you will be unable to move for at least ten minutes - therefore, all animals have stayed away from this group of terrible residents and chosen to settle elsewhere.
And this crystal field is the end point of this war. As long as they can break through here, then the entire western wilderness will be razed by the army of the Red Moon Priestess.
"call."
Beichen breathed in the unusually fresh air, stretched his body, took the water handed to him by Yagard, and drank a few sips.
"It seems like we are the first to arrive along this road. How are Xifeng and Xiaxue doing?"
"The Xiaxue Army is expected to arrive in six tyres (hours), and the Xifeng Army is expected to arrive in nine tyres."
"Okay, let the entire army set up camp and rest."
Beichen said this while looking into the depths of the Crystal Origin - on the other side of the horizon stood a giant natural tower made of white crystals, with many large caves on the tower - that was the nest of the queen insect.
"Tomorrow is the decisive battle."
As she whispered this, Gemini, who was going to greet Yaye, happened to come over with Yaye. When they heard her say this, they came over excitedly.
"Hehe, I wonder who will kill the Queen Bug tomorrow... It should be us!"
As soon as Hei Huo finished speaking, Ya Ye immediately sneered:
"What a joke! With my Lord Yaye here, how could it be your turn, two black and white idiots!"
"Tsk, hard to say, our little loach is known for its speed!"
Su Jie complained, then nudged Yagad with his elbow:
"Right, stupid knight, please speak up for your miko."
Yagad was silent for a moment, then frowned and spoke.
"I can't lie to Miss Beichen. If we simply calculate based on combat power, excluding the factor of luck, I should be the one who killed the Queen Bug. But I won't use this military achievement to ask for Miss Beichen's kiss like you did, please rest assured."
“…”
“…”
"By the way, Agard, please don't bring up that kissing bet they've already forgotten..."
Beichen smiled bitterly, feeling a little exhausted.
Thus, in a subtle and slightly restless atmosphere, another day came to an end.
The Seven Days' War is about to come to its final end.
