Chapter 007: The Final Battle

Looking at the 300,000 brave soldiers below and the group of domain masters and holy-grade warriors in his hands, Du Fan’s thoughts broadened.
Yes, with such extraordinary soldiers and so many skilled fighters at his side, what was there for him to fear?
Moreover, in the south, he had already trained 450,000 troops!
There were also 5,000 Black Panther Knights, 2,000 level-7 elf archers, 1,000 level-8 elf archers, and five holy-grade archers blessed by the Spring of Life!
Plus, the Elf Queen was his wife, and the Dwarf King was his brother!
“What am I afraid of?” Du Fan thought. The divine beast, the Dark Demon Tiger, was his weapon!
“Du Fan, this time, I’ve gathered all our forces—this will be the final battle against the Frozen Alliance!” Duke Green said.
“After this battle, it’s very likely we’ll have to confront Fischer head-on. We must be cautious!” Duke Green said seriously.
Seeing his father like this, Du Fan calmed down. It seemed this battle-hardened duke, who had seen many storms, hadn’t become arrogant despite his great victories against the Frozen Alliance.
The final battle against the Frozen Alliance began.
This last campaign aimed to capture the Land of Dragons. As the country where the emperor of the Frozen Alliance resided, its territory was three times larger than that of an ordinary duchy!
The army was divided into three groups. One group, led by Carol, with Moses, Li Luo, and three holy-grade magicians as reinforcements, entered the Land of Dragons from the west.
Another group, led by George, with Rob and Allen as reinforcements, advanced from the north.
The third group was led personally by Duke Green, with Du Fan and Naixiu as reinforcements, advancing from the south!
The three armies advanced invincibly and, seven days later, gathered below Dragon City as agreed.
When the three armies arrived at Dragon City, they discovered a strange phenomenon: the four gates of Dragon City were wide open, and not a single soldier was on the city walls.
“A feint of an empty city?” Du Fan, with his past-life experience, immediately thought of it.
“Du Fan, what do you think is going on?” Duke Green asked upon seeing Dragon City in this state.
“Let me go inside to check. You guys, stay five miles away from the city and halt for now,” Du Fan said.
“Alright, be careful!” Duke Green warned.
“Don’t worry, Father. I’ll go in with Rob,” Du Fan said.
With that, Du Fan soared into the air and flew to the center of Dragon City. Soon, Rob, who had received Du Fan’s signal, flew over.

“Rob, let’s head straight to the palace!” Du Fan suggested.
“Okay, let’s go!” As soon as Rob said that, he flew toward the largest building complex in Dragon City. Du Fan followed closely behind Rob, and the two stood in front of the palace one after the other.
“Are you two from the Northern Legion?” A guard at the palace entrance said respectfully upon seeing Du Fan and Rob flying down from the sky.
Hearing this, Du Fan was stunned.
“How do you know I’m from the Northern Legion?” Du Fan asked.
“The prince and the royal families of the various duchies were defeated and have all withdrawn. Now, the only ones who can fly at the Sacred rank in the Land of Dragons must be experts from the Northern Legion,” the guard replied.
“What? All the royal families here have left?” Du Fan asked immediately.
“That’s right. When you attacked the Land of Dragons, they discussed it among themselves. Since they couldn’t win, they decided to leave. Also, the fact that you didn’t kill the prisoners from our Icebound Alliance made them decide to leave too, because they believed you weren’t the kind to kill innocents,” the guard said with a smile.
Looking at the guard’s friendly demeanor, it was hard to believe that these two sides had been fighting each other for months as deadly enemies!
“Since that’s the case, show us around the palace,” Du Fan said with a smile as well.
Upon entering the palace, Du Fan noticed that everything was in perfect order, not at all like a place about to be invaded. Inside the palace, the various workers, servants, and maids were functioning as usual, which gave Du Fan a sense of unease.
But what exactly was wrong? Du Fan couldn’t put his finger on it!
Inside the palace, aside from the very valuable items that had been taken away, everything else was eerily calm, just as normal—except for the lack of a master. It was all too normal! Soon, Du Fan identified the weakness: it was being too normal! Normal to the point of being unbelievable!
Soon, Du Fan and Luo Ou returned outside the palace.
Outside, the vendors were still calling out their goods, and the entire city seemed eerily normal—normal to the point of being unbelievable!
“Little boy, come here,” Du Fan called out, waving his hand to summon a child around seven or eight years old.
At Du Fan’s gesture, the child ran over happily.

“Uncle, what do you need from me?” the child asked innocently.
“Uncle wants to ask you—don’t you know there’s going to be a war soon outside?” Du Fan asked with a smile.
“Uh, Mom and Dad said those uncles outside are good people and won’t do anything bad,” the child replied immediately upon hearing Du Fan’s question.
Hearing this, a huge bead of sweat appeared on Du Fan’s forehead!
After thinking it over, he realized he couldn’t get any important information from this young child, so he left with Rob and headed toward a restaurant.
Inside the restaurant, it was actually very lively!
This certainly didn’t look like a place on the brink of war!
The groups of people sitting at the tables, eating, drinking, and chatting, even smiled at Du Fan and Rob when they entered.
After sitting down, Du Fan and Rob didn’t order any food.
“Wow, the armies of the Northern Legion are gathering outside—it seems they’re about to invade. Aren’t you afraid?” Du Fan said with a smile.
“Not afraid at all. Before leaving, the prince told us that the people of the Northern Alliance are good. They not only don’t kill prisoners but also treat them well and let them go,” said one of the diners.
“Yes, young man. Don’t you know that the prince specifically instructed us not to resist and to obey? Those soldiers from the Northern Legion actually won’t kill people randomly. As long as we cooperate, they’ll treat us like family,” said a middle-aged woman at the table.
Damn, this is too absurd!
Listening to their words, Du Fan felt as if he were in another world.
Was this still a situation where enemy troops were approaching, with chaos everywhere?
“Owner, bring the food!” Du Fan called out.
Since things were like this here, it was better to eat first.
“Sure, here’s the menu. Take a look and see what you’d like to order,” said a beautiful waitress who came over.
“Rob, take a look. What do you want to eat?” Du Fan pushed the menu toward Rob.
“Haha, bro, you order it. For me, as long as there’s meat, that’s fine,” Rob said.
“Alright, then order twenty jin of beef first,” Du Fan said with a smile.
“Bring a whole roasted sheep.”
“Bring giant lobsters.”
He ordered over a dozen heavy meat dishes in one go before stopping.
“Hurry up and serve the food,” Du Fan said.

“Sir, your order, which is worth over fifty gold coins, requires payment in advance according to our store’s rules,” said the pretty waitress with a smile. So they were afraid he would eat for free!
“How much does this dish cost?” Du Fan asked.
“Sir, it’s eighty-nine gold coins in total,” replied the pretty waitress quickly, calculating the price. She grabbed a handful of gold coins from her storage ring and placed them on the table. The expressions of those eating there changed immediately.
“Count them,” Du Fan said, ignoring their reactions completely.
“Uh, okay, sir.” The pretty waitress began counting the gold coins on the table. Soon, she said, “Sir, that’s ninety-three in total. Here are four gold coins as change.” She placed the four coins in front of Du Fan.
“Oh, no need. Consider it a tip for you!” Du Fan said with a smile. He picked up the four coins and tossed them onto the menu in the waitress’s hand.
“Thank you! Really thank you!” She quickly put the four coins in her pocket and left to help Du Fan order more dishes.
“Whose son is this young man? He’s so rich.”
“He’s so wealthy! If only my Cuihua could marry him!”
“Eating so much in one meal! Could these two be magical beasts transformed from princes?”
“Tch, that’s impossible. The princes’ magical beasts must have left with them when they retreated.”
Although these people spoke in hushed tones, they couldn’t hide their words from Du Fan’s ears.
At that moment, Du Fan’s dishes arrived. The first dish was a large bowl of beef—twenty pounds of spiced beef.
“It smells so good!” As soon as the beef arrived, Robo grabbed a big piece and started chewing it eagerly. Seeing Robo eat, Du Fan didn’t hesitate either and grabbed a large piece to eat as well. Robo’s appetite was astonishing! He ate ten pieces in a row without stopping! Ten pieces meant ten pounds of beef!
Du Fan also ate two pieces. The beef was indeed delicious. Over the past month, he had been busy fighting, so he rarely had a good meal. Plus, the peaceful atmosphere in Dragon City made his appetite even stronger!
Soon, Du Fan realized a problem: after eating three pieces of beef and a sheep’s front leg, he still wasn’t full at all!

The aroma and texture of beef and mutton are indeed great, but according to one’s own appetite, one shouldn’t be able to eat that much! Feeling each bite of meat going down, his stomach gradually filled up, yet he could still keep eating! A strange thought suddenly crossed Du Fan’s mind! Immediately, he devoured an entire sheep’s hind leg like a whirlwind. After eating it, he found he could still eat more! He then ate a 13-jin heavy lobster, and still found he could keep eating! “Damn it! There must be something wrong!” Du Fan was shocked! He touched his stomach; although it felt swollen, he quickly channeled energy within him, and instantly, his stomach flattened back to normal! “Could it be that all the food I just ate didn’t exist?” Du Fan thought. With that thought, he reached out and slammed his hand on the empty table beside him. With a crash, the table collapsed! Everything was very real! “What the hell! Why break the table for no reason? Xiao Qin, remember to add the cost of the table when billing later!” a plump woman rushed out after seeing Du Fan break the table and immediately scolded. “I know, boss!” the pretty waitress quickly ran out and replied. “Sir, you really should stop breaking tables for no reason. But don’t worry, I’ll pay for the table for you!” Xiao Qin said softly.
