Chapter 001: Ambushed

For now, the experts of the Frozen Alliance are estimated to be 36 Saint-level experts and one Domain powerhouse.
On our side, there is one God-level expert. However, a God-level expert cannot reveal their divine cultivation level on the battlefield, so this God-level expert can only be considered a Domain powerhouse.
On the battlefield, Rob and Long Aotian can be placed in the same category. Then there’s me and Moses. In terms of strength comparison, the four-person team from the Frozen Alliance is roughly equal to me and Moses combined, meaning they can counter ten Saint-level experts.
Now, let’s consider Nayixiu’s combat power. With the Elf King set, Nayixiu can shoot eight of those extraordinary Elf King arrows per day, which means she is equivalent to at least eight Saint-level experts.
Even after exhausting her Elf King arrow technique, Nayixiu still retains the cultivation level of a Domain powerhouse. In this state, she should be able to match three Saint-level experts, meaning she alone can counter eleven Saint-level experts.
Then there’s Master Li Luo. As a Domain mage of the elf race, Li Luo is full of uncertainties. If a mage coordinates well during battle, such a Domain mage should be able to handle more than five Saint-level experts without trouble. Or, if Li Luo, Moses, and Du Fan work together effectively, Li Luo’s presence could double Du Fan and Moses’ combat power!
After some thought, Du Fan equated Li Luo to three Saint-level experts.
Du Fan’s classification makes sense. After two or three months of observation, the members of the Northern Army have concluded that the Frozen Alliance’s Saint-level experts can only form a team capable of fighting Domain powerhouses when four or more of them unite.
It is for this reason that Du Fan assigned normal-state Nayixiu and Li Luo to the category of three Saint-level experts.
Even with this classification, Du Fan still felt a hint of tension. Among the Frozen Alliance’s Saint-level experts, besides himself, there is also a Saint-level magical beast!
At this thought, Du Fan’s mood darkened. In reality, it’s not just 36 Saint-level experts—it’s 72!
However, in his earlier calculation of the two sides’ strengths, Du Fan had already taken into account each of the 36 Saint-level experts’ magical beasts.

The experts from several major fields combined have already offset the 24 Saint-class experts of the Frozen Alliance. Next, there are 12 Saint-class experts waiting to be analyzed. On Duke Green’s side, the Saint-class experts include Duke Green, George, Allen, along with three dark and nature magic masters. Du Fan estimated that there are six people in total, meaning one Saint-class expert per group. Calculated this way, facing the powerful forces of the Frozen Alliance, Du Fan’s side is slightly short-staffed—of course, this shortage refers to experts at the Saint class or above.

“Father, I just did some calculations. To face the 36 Saint-class experts and one Domain Master from the Frozen Alliance, our current strength is still a bit insufficient,” Du Fan said to his father.

“Things on the battlefield change in an instant, son. As long as we coordinate well, it doesn’t matter if we’re a few people short,” Duke Green said with a smile after hearing Du Fan’s words.

“I’ve thought about it. In a large-scale clash of experts, you and Moses, Robb should take the lead first. Then, let Naixiu unleash her deadly arrow technique—designed specifically for Saint-class experts!” Duke Green said with a smile.

“After Naixiu eliminates a group of them, your two brothers and I will step in, along with four magic masters above the Saint class. I believe we won’t be at a disadvantage in a direct fight of experts,” Duke Green said with a smile.

“Just think—if Naixiu kills Long Aotian with one arrow, there won’t be any experts in the Frozen Alliance above the Domain Master level!” Duke Green added.

“Haha, yes, Father. How could I have missed that? If they can coordinate, we can coordinate too!” Du Fan laughed heartily.

In fact, even though Du Fan had analyzed earlier that he might be at a slight disadvantage in a direct fight between experts, he had also considered bringing in the five Saint-class archmasters from Star Moon Castle. With those five archmasters present, even in one-on-one battles, Du Fan was fully confident he could win.

Thinking further, there was also Lu Xiu, a Domain Master in Star Moon Castle, as well as Chenchen, another Domain Master in Siluo Province, plus Ling音 who had already reached the Saint class.

And if anything really went wrong, he could always go to the elves’ territory, recruit a large number of experts, or use Qing Suo to enter the Dusk Mountains to find Bashaa!

Thinking of this, Du Fan was no longer worried at all.
…
For several days in a row, both sides spent their time in a back-and-forth pattern of provoking each other.
On the fourth day, Duke Green suddenly summoned all those above the Saint rank urgently.
“George’s and Xiao Yulong’s two surprise attack teams have been ambushed by the enemy!” This was Duke Green’s first words once everyone had gathered.
“What!” Hearing these words from Duke Green, everyone was shocked!
The routes these two teams took to launch their surprise attacks were extremely concealed!
“Now, Du Fan, take Nai Xiuxiu and hurry to rescue your elder brother and second brother! Mr. Rob, you go rescue Xiao Yulong. You two must set off right away!” Duke Green ordered decisively. “If anything happens, I’ll contact you via magic messages at any time.”
“No problem!” Rob said. As soon as he spoke, a green light flashed, and Rob flew away.
After seeing Rob leave, Du Fan took Nai Xiuxiu and, using the Green Shuttle, also flew away swiftly in a green light.
“We’ll start preparing for the final attack right away! Carol, go issue orders. In half an hour, all troops must be assembled. I’m going to launch the final attack!” Duke Green said immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, Duke Green took out two magic scrolls and quickly wrote something on them. After finishing, he closed the magic messages in his hand, and soon, the two messages disappeared.
“Elder brother! Hold on a bit! Father sent word that the third brother and Nai Xiuxiu will be here soon,” Allen said to George after blocking a hammer strike from a Saint-level expert.
“Okay!” George repelled another Saint-level expert with a fierce spear thrust and replied to Allen.
George and Allen had already crossed the river and were preparing to set up an ambush behind the Frozen Alliance, waiting for Duke Green’s final attack to strike from behind and catch the Frozen Alliance off guard!
But they didn’t expect to be ambushed less than three hours after crossing the river!
The army of the Frozen Alliance that ambushed them numbered around fifty thousand—this wasn’t a problem. The real issue was that two top Saint-level experts from the Frozen Alliance were with them. Although these two were not as skilled as George and Allen individually, once they merged with their respective magical beasts, their combat strength surpassed that of George and Allen!
With these two suppressing George and Allen, the remaining troops quickly found themselves in trouble!

Just as the two of them were in a difficult situation, killed by a saint-class expert formed from two magical beasts, George, with his sharp eyes, quickly spotted a green object approaching rapidly from the sky!
“Haha!” Seeing the green object in the sky, George shouted excitedly and thrust his spear forcefully, successfully knocking the bird-headed and human-bodied saint-class expert away.
The saint-class expert, knocked aside by George’s spear, seemed unwilling to give up. It let out two growls and began circling around George, casting lightning spells at him and Allen from time to time!
“Damn it, it can even use magic!” George cursed as he watched the monster shoot lightning at him.
Fortunately, when the monster launched its fourth lightning strike, it suddenly felt a pain in its chest. Looking down, it saw the tip of a long arrow coming out of its left chest!
The arrow pierced straight through its heart!
“Lao San!” Seeing Du Fan flying in from above, Allen shouted loudly. Together with George, they both thrust their spears into the saint-class expert’s body!
They channeled star power into it at the same time. With a strong shake, the entire body of the saint-class expert cracked apart!
Originally, this saint-class expert wouldn’t have died so quickly. Seeing his companion die suddenly, it panicked. Combined with Allen’s loud shout, which shook its mind, this allowed George and Allen to succeed simultaneously!
With the death of these two saint-class experts, the warriors of the Frozen Alliance who were attacking the Northern Legion began to retreat one after another!
At that moment, George and Allen summoned their own magical beasts and began slaughtering the retreating Frozen Alliance troops!
“Elder brother, second brother, is something wrong?” Du Fan immediately flew to his two brothers’ side.
“Nothing’s wrong. It’s just that Father mentioned in his letter that after we escape, we need to go to Red Lake City with you,” Allen said to Moses.
“Take care of the army matters!” Du Fan said to Allen.
“Father has already arranged everything!” Hearing Du Fan’s urgency, Allen replied quickly.
“Huriza, lead your troops forward—keep the goal in mind!” Allen suddenly said to an officer beside him.
“Yes, my lord!” Hearing Allen’s words, the officer replied loudly.
“Remember, once the main attack starts, you must launch a surprise attack! Don’t act rashly until the main attack begins!” Allen said firmly.

“I understand, sir!” the officer named Huriza quickly said.
“Let’s go!” George and Allen simultaneously retracted their magical beasts and said to Du Fan.
With a laugh, Du Fan’s green shuttle immediately enveloped the two brothers and flew toward Red Lake City!
The troops were attacked without any communication with the commanders of the two armies. Mainly because in the Frozen Alliance, there were numerous magical beasts. Aside from the royal family who possessed holy-grade magical beasts, many others also had them, and the skills of many of these beasts were extremely varied!
These two armies were discovered thanks to bird-like magical beasts used for reconnaissance!
The leader of the Frozen Alliance deliberately used those magical beasts as scouts—a fact that George, Allen, and Xiao Yulong were completely unaware of.
Not only they didn’t know; even Duke Green was unaware.
As a result, the Green family suffered a huge disadvantage in terms of magical beast scouts!
Of course, given this situation, Duke Green decided to take matters into his own hands.
He sent Du Fan and Rob to provide support; both of them were extremely fast!
Within ten minutes, they reached the troops they were supposed to rescue!
In Rob’s eyes, the situation on the battlefield was completely different!
The tribes of the Northern Legion were being mercilessly slaughtered by two magical beasts! There were also two powerful beings of holy grade, casually taking the lives of soldiers.
