NovelEnglishChapter 2167: Lantisde’s Mutation
“Stop looking, I’ll go over next door to borrow a drying pole for you,” Luna said with a smile.
“Hehe, you’re the best.” Vivian quickly smiled and hugged Luna’s arm.
“Stop with your sweet talking. Speak. Why did you look for me in this outfit?” Luna asked.
“I came to bid farewell.”
“Farewell?”
“Mm. I’ve decided to go to the frontline to fight it out with the Army of the Dead at the icy sheets!” Vivian nodded with conviction.
“Are you serious?” Luna stared at Vivian for a while.
“Of course!” Vivian lifted her head up and looked into the distance. “I am a lone swordsman and am destined to tread on the edge of the sword. You do not have to persuade me. You would not be able to hold me back.”
“You’re a knight that could fall from climbing a wall. Are you sure you still want to go to the frontline to face the enemy?”
“Er… that was an accident! An accident!”
“A swordsman that loses her sword?”
“That’s also an accident…”
“You sneaked out from home, right?”
“Ah! How did you know?”

“F*ck!”
“This armor isn’t warm enough, right?”
“I’m not c-c-cold…”
Vivian changed into Luna’s clothes and covered herself with a blanket. She sat on the bed as she watched Luna write at the table.
Luna placed her pen down and folded the paper neatly before putting it into an envelope. She walked over to the bed and asked, “When do you intend to go home?”
“I’m not going home! I’m going to the frontline!” Vivian shook her head.
Luna looked into her eyes and said seriously, “Do you know how many knights’ lives will have to be sacrificed to save a noble young lady who has no means of protecting herself on the battlefield?”
“I… I can protect myself.” Vivian looked away, sounding uncertain.
“I hope that school can start soon. You are a new teacher and there are many things to prepare. Your battlefield is the lecture theater. What you should be doing is to figure out how to get the students to listen and how to teach them the knowledge.”
“I…” Vivian looked up at Luna and felt defeated. However, she still said, “But if we lose the war, it might be difficult for the children to even survive, much less learn. I want to do a little something for this war.”
“I heard that they were giving out cotton cloth and cotton a couple of days ago to make cotton clothes for the soldiers going to war. I am about to send a letter out and also collect some cotton cloth and cotton to make cotton clothes for the soldiers. Do you want to join me?” Luna said with a smile and kept the letter.
“Alright!” Vivian nodded. She jumped up from the bed and said, “We can even have hot pot on the way back.”

At the border between the Roth Empire and Twilight Forest, a large army of Orcs was crossing quickly.
The tall walls had been knocked down and the deep trenches were filled up. The knights of the Roth Empire stood on both sides to welcome their former enemy into their borders.
20,000 Orcs crossed the borders and this was a never seen before sight in the century-long history of the Roth Empire.
However, this time, the Orcs crossed the border not to invade, but to proceed to the northern border to fight hand in hand with the soldiers of the Roth Empire against the invasion of the Army of the Dead.
The Northwestern Legion had already proceeded northwards the day before. From the moment the Orcs’ troops entered the Roth Empire’s border, the Roth Empire would be responsible for their logistical support.
But what shocked the Roth Empire soldiers who stayed back, was that almost all of these Orc soldiers carried large baggage and often, one could see a trotter or a tail peeking out from the baggage. They even saw a five-meter-tall orc carry two wild cows, weighing up to a few hundred kilograms, with a metal rod.
Yes…
These 20,000 orcs brought their food on the journey.
Besides, everywhere they pass by, they could even capture wild beasts and magic beasts from within a few kilometers radius to become their food.
This actually made the Roth Empire’s soldiers and people, who had been in charge of preparing the food for such a large army, heave a sigh of relief and lightened much of the pressure on them.
“I’ve already communicated with Andre. After we arrive outside Chaos City, there will be a store open for us. We have to carry the food over to the frontline on our own,” Connie, who was sitting on a unicorn, told Rex.
“The Orcs have always brought our food with us to the battlefield whenever we’ve been to war. We never needed logistical support. That’s not a problem.” Rex nodded.
Connie nodded. That was the Orcs’ tradition.
“We have to ensure the troop’s discipline. There are still many of them with hatred in their hearts but in this situation, everyone needs to be united,” Rex said solemnly as he looked out at the meandering troop.
“I’ll call out for a meeting with the chiefs of the various tribes tonight and get them to manage the soldiers from their tribes.” Connie nodded.

Above the Boundless Sea Realm, thousands of merwarriors stepped onto land.
As the High Priest of Lantisde, this was also the first time Dexter led a team to war.
Gina rode on a large dolphin as she followed beside Dexter.
“Master, is the north very cold?” Gina asked.
“Yes. At the icy sheets, water becomes ice immediately and the air is very cold.” Dexter nodded.
“Whew… That’s terrible.” Gina shuddered.
The Boundless Sea Realm had been warm all year round and even in winter, there would not be any trace of ice or snow.
After a while, Gina looked at Dexter and asked, “But, do we really not need to tell Mr. Mag about the mutation underwater?”
Dexter thought for a while and nodded as he said, “We can let him know when we arrive at the ice sheets. Right now, we have not investigated clearly what led to the mutation.”
“Mm.” Gina nodded. She recalled the scene of the infinity column shaking violently yesterday and felt uneasy.
“This war is more important than anything else. We cannot allow Mr. Mag to be distracted over such small things.” Dexter seemed to have seen through Gina’s thoughts and said with a smile and a shake of his head, “Besides, with His Majesty guarding over the city, nothing would happen.”
“Mm. I got it.” Gina nodded with a smile.
Dexter turned away and looked down at the surface of the sea with an equally solemn expression.
The mutation yesterday was indeed a little strange. It was as though something was trying to escape from beneath Lantisde, causing the infinity column to shake.
That had gone on for the entire night and the column only stopped this morning.
The formation masters in Lantisde had already reinforced the seal around the infinity column. Although they were unsure what exactly was under Lantisde, it was still something that required their attention.
The trauma of the Devil had yet to subside. His Majesty was still trying to ascertain if there was an ancient seal in the infinity column and if it was possible for a Devil to be sealed under Lantisde.
Before that, he had decided to report this to Mr. Mag upon meeting him personally.
Right now, there was a million-man Army of the Dead closing in to the northern borders and there was nothing more urgent than that.
