Chapter 396: Chapter 287: Lord of Frost, Snow Country Fortress (4K)_2

“`

Before his visit, he had thought of revising the proposal for a ‘Small Regional Alliance.’ Of course, this time, he planned to offer the position of the Alliance leader to Lord Mu.

Unfortunately, from the few probing sentences he tried, Lord Mu had no intention of forming an alliance, even if he himself were to become its leader.

“After all, he’s a man whom Mayor Cui holds in high regard; his stature is too lofty,” he thought.

“No matter how you look at it, having a strong territory nearby is far more of a benefit than a disadvantage.”

“What really piques one’s curiosity is just how strong the generals under Lord Mu’s command are.”

Lord Zhou Ye mused to himself.

Today, as he visited the territory and passed by a training field self-built by the locals, he witnessed the power displayed by General Luo Bo, which was at least two notches above the strongest general in his own domain.

Then what about General Lu Liu, whom even General Luo Bo greatly respects?

He is probably a Third-order Warlord level powerhouse.

“Once we get more familiar, I must find an opportunity for my generals to spar with the likes of strong individuals such as Luo Bo and General Lu. It would also help my own generals to improve,” he thought, glancing at his two moderately intelligent generals beside him.

…

As soon as the visitor left, Duo Lai couldn’t wait to rub its little hands together.

“Wow! All these ingredients are fabulous~!”

It turned to Mu Yuan, “Hey, hey, how about we have a culinary feast tonight?”

Duo Lai always thought of the others, never considering enjoying these goods alone.

Of course, while the other generals would mainly sample the dishes, Duo Lai’s intention was to absorb all of the ingredients to build another ‘Tower of Ascension’ upon its own ‘peak’ of evolutionary stage.

Devouring, this super talent, would not only help General Duo Lai reach the pinnacle of perfection more rapidly but would also continue to extend its maximum limit.

Like Reaping What You Sow, Devouring is theoretically a talent without limits, a bug-level gift.

“Of course, since Duo Lai is already at Epic Two Stars Life, devouring Excellence-grade ingredients will only offer slight increases to its limit. It won’t be significant, but devouring Epic ingredients…”

…would greatly increase the limit, extensively excavate potential, and even awaken some more advanced talents and skills.

Such Epic material, which might uncover only 10-20% of its value in others’ hands, would not go to waste even by 1% if eaten by Duo Lai.

But before Duo Lai devoured it…

The carcass of the Extreme Cold Crystal Beast had other uses.

To the northwest of Tianyuan Territory, Mu Yuan and Duo Lai stepped into this place.

As soon as they crossed the boundary of white ground, it was as if they entered the Power of Winter. Snowflakes fluttered, and the bitter cold cut to the bone, with the whole world appearing snow-white except for a few colored specks here and there.

A blue shadow arrived leisurely.

“Good day, respected Lord~”

An ethereal voice sounded from a slender and delicate… dragon’s shadow.

It’s the Water Mirror Dragon, Difu.

Looking back, it once possessed the innate pride of the giant dragon kind, but now it could only say… ah, praise the Lord, the Lord is the greatest.

It had witnessed the process of Uta, the Dragon Power Strongman from next door, getting thrashed by Sario to thrashing Sario.

It is said that nowadays, Uta is among the few strongest in the entire territory.

All of this, of course, is thanks to the Lord’s Great Force.

Of course, no matter how powerful Uta became, it remained but a brutish thug, whereas if it were to evolve, it would surely become more beautiful and elegant.

Mu Yuan stroked the scales of the Water Mirror Dragon.

The scales shimmered in the sunlight, just like the blue dragon, which was full of zeal at the moment.

The Water Mirror Dragon hadn’t taken part in many battles, but that didn’t mean its contribution was low. There are many places in Tianyuan Territory where one can shine and contribute.

For example, half a month ago, it helped Isloa develop a Large-scale Magic suited to Tianyuan Territory.

——Thousand Prism Large Reflection.

This Techniques replaced the previously fixed defensive Large-scale Magic in the Magic Furnace.

Later on, Isloa used this as a foundation to develop some City Defense Components.

“`

The latter is still not quite mature, and Isloa and Difu are researching it.

Difu’s skills and talents are mostly in spell defense. In certain strategic uses, she is unique.

It’s a pity that she is just a dragon.

However, it’s not entirely without a solution, as Lord Shepherd has a shallow understanding of Evo-power but has vaguely found out that Evo-power evolves with the advancement of oneself and the territory.

Now, it’s been a long time since the last evolution of Evo-power.

The next evolution is probably not far off.

Moving forward, snow girls can be seen shuttling between the ice and snow, tending to precious materials specially grown in the icy environment.

In the distance where the snow is even more ferocious, some snow girls seem to be engaged in heated construction work.

Building… fortresses of snow.

At the end of the Ice Spirit Cold Pool region, next to the towering city walls, stand two magnificent and tall white fortresses. If a Warlord at the Legendary Realm were present, they would notice that the routes of heaven and earth and the elemental particles are converging on these two fortresses like a water flow from all directions.

The fortresses of snow are being built up bit by bit and strengthened little by little.

Because these fortresses are not ordinary buildings, nor are they Miracle Buildings, but…

Skills!

As the surge of the particles of heaven and earth comes to a halt, the gates of the two large fortresses open and women in plain white dresses, surrounded by snowflakes, emerge from within the castles.

Their complexions are very white, not pale, but more like the white of a dead person.

After all, they are not human.

They are elemental beings, born through the evolution and transformation of Ice Spirits, Epic elemental life!

“Qing Shuang/Han Shuang”

“Rank: Lord of Frost (Epic One Star)”

“Talents: Power of Winter, Ice Cold Heart”

“Level: Third-order 1st level”

“Skills: Ice Spikes, Ice Storm, Cold Tide Funeral, Ice and Snow World, …, Snow Country Fortress”

“Artistic Conception: Initial Stage”

Both of them ascended to Epic Life only recently and, after ascending, made a breakthrough to the Third-order Warlord level.

Around the officers, they are not very outstanding, with about the same standard as ‘Bone Two’ and Bone Three. Of course, these two Lords of Frost have less experience, and it’s not impossible for them in the future to reach the levels of Seventeen and Lu Liu.

They are the designated commanders of the fourth main force, the Ice and Snow Army.

This army is not yet useful, and the same goes for Qing Shuang and Han Shuang, but only by carefully nurturing them can they one day become one of the pillars of Tianyuan Territory.

Qing Shuang and Han Shuang aren’t particularly special, but their awakened Epic Skills are very interesting to Mu Yuan.

“Snow Country Fortress (Epic Skill)”

“Description: With the authority of the Lord of Frost, harness the power of ice and snow to build an unyielding eternal fortress. The Snow Country Fortress can root itself in the veins of heaven and earth, drawing and solidifying building materials from the ice elemental particles of heaven and earth, and can also transform the power of heaven and earth into special attacks to combat formidable enemies. Meanwhile…”

A Snow Country Fortress is like a special structure that incorporates defense, attack, and even mobility.

And it has the potential to grow!

“This is a management skill, but unlike the Wraith Sacred Mountain…”

Essentially, the Skeleton Lord still focuses on enlarging the Deathremains Territory, then channeling the Territorial Power back into oneself to strengthen oneself, or using the entire territory’s projection to suppress enemies.

The emphasis on the Snow Country Fortress is on external construction.

It requires consuming more materials. At the same time, though the fortress can move, it’s preferably rooted and fixed in one location. To the Lord of Frost, the Snow Country Fortress is more like a super external piece of equipment.

Inside the fortress, the Lord of Frost can utilize the Power of Heaven and Earth and is virtually invincible.

But if they step out of the fortress, under the same conditions, the Lord of Frost might not even be able to defeat a Bone Dragon.

“Lord…”

“… The first phase of the Snow Country Fortress construction is up to…”

“It’s almost complete~”

The two of them, as if performing a comic dialogue, carried on the conversation seamlessly, sharing updates on the progress of the construction.
