Chapter 212 Ice Bee Riot

The beacon fires and the long alarm sounded.

This was a warning of a large-scale enemy attack. To be honest, it had been a very long time since such sounds had echoed in the Ice Spirit Kingdom. The last time Ice Spirit City had lit the beacon fires was over two hundred years ago, during the era when the Nine Gods and the Blade were at war.

But now it was a time of peace; how could the Nine Gods suddenly invade?

In the palace, Snow Cangbai and Oscar led the way, rushing out of the hall in large strides, while all the civil and military officials also poured out of the great hall.

In the distance, atop the snowy mountain peak, a silver cloud, illuminated by the moonlight, was slowly descending down the cliff.

Was it an avalanche?

Snow Cangbai furrowed his brow, and Oscar exclaimed, "It's the sacred bees from the forbidden land!"

Snow Cangbai's face turned pale, and the ministers behind him collectively gasped, "How is this possible!"

"Is it the Ice Bees paying homage to their queen during the Ice and Snow Sacrifice?"

"Have you never seen the aurora of the Ice and Snow Sacrifice? That 'silver snow cloud descending the mountain' is not an aurora!"

"Ancestor, are you certain?" Snow Cangbai demanded sharply.

"Your Majesty, without a doubt!"

The surrounding ministers immediately erupted in chaos: "Heaven is about to destroy our Ice Spirit Kingdom!"

"The movement of the Ice Bees will overturn the seas!" A civil official wept loudly, "Your Majesty..."

Bang!

Xue Cangbai stepped forward and kicked the minister flying over ten meters away. Soul power surged within him, his imperial aura making his hair stand on end as he roared, “Anyone who dares to disrupt the morale of our Ice Spirit army will be executed without mercy!”

He turned his head sharply, his eyes flashing with determination, and threw a token. “Jiebie! Take my ice token and activate the city defenses. Command the three armies to prepare for battle!”

“Yes!” Abuda Jiebie took the token.

Elder Oscar’s face was grave. The wedding had taken place, so why was the prophecy still coming true?

What was destined to come would still come, but he never expected it to be such a disaster. Looking around, he couldn’t find the person he was looking for. “Where is Wang Feng?”

The melodious bell tolls echoed across the land, audible even outside the city walls.

Trained for years, the Ice Spirit alarm was easily understood. Without needing Karida’s command, the Snow Wolf King suddenly stopped, turning around with bloodshot eyes wide open, anxiously gazing at the distant city gate, snorting heavily.

Karida and Wang Feng also looked in that direction. On the peak of a distant mountain, a vast expanse of ‘silver clouds’ shimmered under the sunlight, slowly descending along the mountain.

Though the movement seemed slow, the distance between the two places was great. The thousands-of-meters-high silver snow peak appeared only palm-sized in their eyes, yet they could see the vast, bright silver cloud moving visibly, indicating its incredible speed!

“What is that?” Old Wang asked in surprise.

“It’s a swarm of ice bees!” Karida’s face changed slightly. She knew much more about Ice Spirit Kingdom than Wang Feng did. Jumping off the Snow Wolf King, she said solemnly, “Ice bees don’t come down the mountain without reason. I’ve been feeling uneasy lately; something must have happened. I’ll go check it out. Wang Feng, stay here and don’t wander off! But if you see the ice bee swarm heading this way, run as far as you can!”

Old Wang’s expression grew serious. Having stayed in the Holy Sanctuary of Ice Spirit for a month and participated in the Snow Festival of the ice bees, he knew about the legendary ice bees that could destroy everything.

“Brother Da, Da…” Before he could finish calling her, Karida was already airborne.

“Wang Feng, if I’m not back in two hours, return to Rose on your own without waiting for me…”

With that, her figure darted away like a drifting snowflake, leaving no trace on the snow, vanishing in an instant.

Lao Wang glanced at the anxious Snow Wolf King, and the next second the Snow Wolf King became as quiet as a dog.

At this time, the streets of Bingling City were already in chaos, the alarm sirens were blaring, and the city defense was activated urgently. Many soldiers who were accompanying their families to participate in the celebration carnival immediately put down everything and rushed to the city gate, hastily telling their families: "Go home quickly! Hide in the basement or ice cave, and don't come out until the alarm is lifted!"

Although the civilians did not know what was happening in the end, everyone knew that a big change was about to happen. Everyone was running home in panic. Some went to the basements, and more gathered in the defense caves in the city that were converted from mines. The long tables of buffets that covered the entire city had already been overturned to the side, and all kinds of pots and bowls and various delicious soups were scattered all over the ground, making the chaotic streets look even more messy.

The incident was urgent, and the streets were filled with shouts. Some strong civilians temporarily joined the conscription team to help the Ice Spirit Warriors in charge of transportation carry boxes of supplies and soul crystal bombs to the top of the city. The long transport team stretched from the city gate to the Soul Weapon warehouse near the street.

This Soul Weapon Warehouse was originally a cold iron mine cave. Because it was dug deep enough and large enough, and the internal support was strong enough, it was converted into an arms warehouse for the Ice Spirit Iron Guards. Now it is the closest defensive fortification to the city gate.

Xue Cangbai and others had already led their ministers to rush in here. There were messengers riding snow wolves and rushing through the streets at high speed, traveling between the city gate and the Soul Martial Warehouse.

"Report! One hundred divine martial spirit cannons and five thousand α4-level spirit crystal bullets have been sent to the city gates and are ready!"

"Report! Wolf Station No. 1 has detected that the swarm of ice bees is approaching the bottom of the restricted area. The Winter Ice Valley may be the first to attack!"

"Report! The bee swarm has entered the Ice Valley. The Winter Tribe has been overwhelmed by the swarm. The Ice Valley is covered by a lot of terrain and cannot be seen clearly from the Wolf Terrace. The current situation in the Ice Valley is unknown!"

Warehouse No. 1 was Xue Cangbai's strategic command post at this time. Xue Cangbai stood in front of the sand table. Oscar, the captain of the guards, the Snow Wolf Guard, Donghuang Yigu and many generals and civil officials gathered around him. The royal children were participating in the military meeting near the door. He had been restless when he heard that the Winter Tribe might be attacked. Now he heard that the tribe had been flooded by the swarm of bees. Ota shouted, jumped up with bloodshot eyes and wanted to rush out the door, but was picked up by Abudazhebie who happened to come in from the door and pressed to the ground.

"Master! Great-grandfather! My parents are still in the Ice Valley, and my brothers are there too!"

During the Ice and Snow Festival, the Winter Clan’s territory also needs someone to guard it. There are tribe elders representing Winter, but Chief Oba did not come. This is also the rule of Winter.

Aota shouted frantically, his eyes bloodshot as he struggled desperately: "I have to go back and save them!"

"Shut up!" Oscar scolded: "The Winter People have their own destiny. You are now a warrior of the Ice Spirit. What you should do is to guard the Ice Spirit and fight against the bee swarm!"

“Since the ice bees first attacked the Winter Ice Valley, it seems that their route is clear, heading towards Bingling City!” Donghuang Yigu’s family members were also in the Ice Valley, but at this moment he suppressed his emotions: “The ice bees have lived in peace with us in the forbidden area for more than two hundred years. How could they suddenly come down the mountain for no reason and head for Bingling…”

Oscar said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the only one who can make the ice bees leave the forbidden area is the queen bee. I'm afraid that the queen bee has been placed in my Bingling City."

"Elder, what you mean is... But how is that possible?" Xue Cangbai was already wearing armor, his eyes were scorching: "The queen bee is protected by the bee colony, the ice and snow are offering sacrifices, and the bees are worshipping her. No one can get close to her."

A single ice bee is only at the wolf level and can be easily defeated, but even a dragon level being can only retreat when facing a huge swarm of ice bees. A swarm of bees is rare and can allow soul power to resonate and overlap. Once the soul power field they form attacks, anyone who approaches will be instantly crushed into pieces.

"Your Majesty, the elders' guess is correct! When the queen bee is laying eggs, the swarm of bees is not allowed to approach. The swarm of bees can only pay homage from afar. If someone has the ability to move through space, they can instantly take away the weak queen bee after laying eggs while surrounded by the swarm of bees." Abdazhe didn't let go of Ota, who had calmed down a little, and said hurriedly: "For example, the Thousand Faces Master in the Dark Hall, Fourier, went out on a mission this time because he learned that the Dark Hall had a plan to attack us. I never thought that they would use such a sinister trick!"

"Has someone from the Dark Hall come to see me, Ice Spirit?"

"I was just about to report to your majesty!" Abdazhebie knelt on one knee and said loudly: "Just now a soldier reported that more than a hundred masters suddenly appeared near the bell tower, killing dozens of altar guards in an instant and causing a riot. Now those people have seized the main roads around the bell tower and set up three soul crystal cannons at the intersection to disperse civilians and prevent everyone from approaching. According to the description, the leader seems to be the Thousand-Faced Master Fu Liye of the Dark Hall! Your majesty, the bell tower is high and has a wide field of vision. It is an excellent position to attract and command the bee swarm. I'm afraid that the queen bee is on the bell tower now. Please make a decision quickly with the elders of the tribe to attack the bell tower and seize the queen bee!"

Xue Cangbai's heart sank slightly. The Dark Hall was the thorn in the side of the League of Blades; just as the Holy Sanctuary was crucial to the League, the Dark Hall posed an equal threat to it.

Though the number of people was not large, alas, each was a world-class top expert, and possessed unimaginable abilities.

One of the Nine Sons of the Dark Hall New World, Fourier's terror is well-known among the top brass of the Blade Alliance. He is elusive, good at assassination, has spatial abilities, and is also good at disguise. He can change his appearance at will, making him hard to guard against.

Now the other side has gathered hundreds of helpers, seized the bell tower and set up rune robes. If we want to capture it, we may have to mobilize a large army.
