"What? The Ice Deer hunt is over?"
When she heard Zhang Ze informing them to go to the ice field to pick up the ice deer carcass, Maya's eyes widened in disbelief.
"You've already finished hunting in less than a day?"
Aili couldn't believe it either: "Is this true?"
Zhang Ze said calmly: "If you don't believe it, just go and take a look."
The three captains looked at each other and immediately led their men to the ice field.
Zhang Ze returned to the camp and drank tea with his companions to warm themselves up. The winter here is really cold.
The three teams followed the signs left by Zhang Ze and carefully arrived at the place where they hunted ice deer.
A strong bloody smell rushed towards them, and then they saw a large body of ice deer appearing in front of them!
"This is……"
Ai Li was dumbfounded. Although he didn't know how many ice deer there were here, he conservatively estimated that the number was over 3,000!
The rest of the people also stood there blankly. There were no traces of fierce fighting here. It was as if these ice deer were standing there without resistance and allowed to be killed.
So weird!
Maya squatted down to examine the body of the ice deer. She found that the ice deer's fur had blood-red grid patterns, as if it was covered by a net.
"What trace is this?" She was confused: "Is this a Rakshasa magic attack?"
After everyone checked, they found that all the ice deer were dead. They had to take away the carcasses quickly before dark to avoid attracting other predators.
"But Captain, there are too many ice deer for us to move!"
One of his subordinates complained: "Can you ask the Lord Knight to send more people?"
Eli also felt that he should ask for support, so Maya sent someone back to report to Knight Commander Elliot, while the others stayed in place to count the number of ice deer.
Soon, a group of people came from a distance, and it was Elliot who brought people to support.
Maya and Eli immediately went to greet them.
"You said there are a lot of them, but how many are there?"
Elliot said with a straight face: "There are only three thousand ice deer, but you still need to call everyone here? Who will protect His Highness the Prince?"
"I think you are just lazy and unwilling to work!"
"Master Knight, we are not lazy. Just take a look..." Maya pointed to the piles of ice deer carcasses in the distance and said, "We just counted the number, there are 5,400 in total."
Elliot was stunned: "What? Five thousand, four hundred heads?"
He didn't believe it, so he immediately went over to check.
Hundreds of corpses were piled into a hill, scattered on the ice field. Elliot walked among them, the look of shock on his face getting stronger and stronger.
"Did you kill all of these?" He turned to look at Eli and Maya: "How did you do it?"
Maya told the truth: "Master Knight, it was not us who killed him, it was Rakshasa."
"Rakshasa?" Elliot was even more unconvinced: "How could he do it alone? These are more than 5,000 ice deer! Even if we stand still and kill them casually, we, the Guards, will all be dispatched to kill them. about an hour!"
He already had a problem with Zhang Ze, so he didn't want to believe it now.
"Maya, did you see Rakshasa take action with your own eyes?"
Maya and Eli shook their heads, and Elliot mused: "Forget it for now, everyone takes action immediately to transport all the ice deer to the territory before dark!"
As a result, the Guardsmen worked enthusiastically and finally completed their work before dark.
After Elliot arranged everything, he rushed back to the camp and reported the situation here to Prince Edward.
"You mean, we harvested more than 5,000 ice deer this time?" The prince was overjoyed. He stood up excitedly and paced back and forth in the camp: "This time, no one in our territory will go hungry!"
Beth also smiled and said: "Godmother is indeed right, Rakshasa is very powerful, we will definitely have hope to defeat Sigrid this time!"
"I want to reward Rakshasa well, um...but I have nothing now. I can only write down his merits first, and then reward him when I become king." Edward said with a smile.
Elliot curled his lips: "Your Highness, we are not sure yet that these ice deer were killed by Rakshasa, because no one saw him take action."
"Knight Captain Elliot." Prince Edward looked stunned and said seriously: "I know you have objections to Lord Rakshasa, but you can't erase his achievements!"
"And you have to remember that he is our partner now, and I hope you can get along with him in the future."
"...Yes!" Elliot lowered his head.
"The winter hunting is over, and the carnivores have been wiped out by us. This operation was very successful. With further notice, we can return to our territory to spend the winter!"
Prince Edward's order was quickly passed to the ears of all the Guards, and these young people suddenly became excited and could finally go home.
Zhang Ze and his party also followed the prince's team back to the frozen territory. Next, they were going to Xiyue Canyon to seek help from the elves.
"Xiyue Canyon is located in the northwest of our White Lion Kingdom. If we want to get there, we will probably have to walk for more than a month."
In Prince Edward's residence, everyone gathered around a map. Eliot said: "We have to pass through many dangerous places on the way, such as here, where thieves are active all year round, and here, which is the territory of the rebels... But The biggest threat comes from the queen. If they know that the prince has left the territory, they may send people to chase him, intercept him, or even kill him secretly!"
He raised his head and looked worried: "So, I suggest that His Highness the Prince should stay in the territory, and that Mr. Rakshasa and I go to Xiyue Canyon to discuss cooperation with the elves."
"No!" Edward shook his head: "For such a big thing, I must go there in person to show my sincerity."
"I'm not afraid of danger. As long as I can defeat the queen, I'm willing to pay any price!"
"But I'm not worried." Edward looked at Zhang Ze and smiled: "With Mr. Rakshasa escorting me, I believe I will have a safe journey."
Zhang Ze also smiled and said: "Thank you for your trust in me, Your Highness. I have a way to avoid traveling long distances and at the same time reach Xiyue Canyon safely."
"What can we do?" Everyone looked at Zhang Ze.
"Ride my black dragon mount." Zhang Ze walked to the window and summoned the Dark Dragon King.
In an instant, a black dragon larger than a house appeared in the sky, scaring the crowd into screaming and fleeing.
"This is...your mount?" Prince Edward's eyes were filled with surprise and envy. He had only heard of dragon legends but had never seen one before.
Elliot had heard the report from the Guards before and knew that Zhang Ze would summon the black dragon, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was inexplicably shocked.
Outside, the Giant God, Dragon King and others also saw the Dark Dragon King.
"What is this guy Rakshasa doing?" The Dragon King looked at Zhang Ze at the window and asked, "Why did he suddenly summon the Dark Dragon God?"
"Maybe you want to prove something?" Yiye Zhiqiu guessed.
The little princess Qian pursed her lips and muttered: "When will Rakshasa reveal our identity? We are also Oracles, why are we not allowed to attend the meeting?"
Liu Yueying smiled and said: "It is enough for one person to attend the meeting. There is no need for everyone to squeeze in."
Even without emotion, he nodded: "Yes, I hate meetings the most. They are endless and full of nonsense!"
Everyone was chatting and waiting downstairs. About an hour later, Zhang Ze came out of the room.
"It's decided, we will leave for Xiyue Canyon tomorrow." Zhang Ze said to everyone: "There is nothing to do today. Everyone can wander around the frozen territory. If you are tired, you can log off and rest."
"Great!" Xiaoniao Yiren said with a happy face: "I like shopping the most. Sisters, let's go together!"
Afterwards, several girls went shopping happily hand in hand.
But in fact, the frozen territory is too small, smaller than a county town, and it is extremely barren with nothing. A few people finished the tour in less than half an hour and returned to their residence with bored faces.
Prince Edward invited Zhang Ze to live in his lord's mansion, but Zhang Ze politely declined. He preferred to live with his companions.
…
White Lion Kingdom, Royal Capital, Royal Palace.
Queen Sigrid stood at the window of the tower when a dove flew in and landed on the window sill.
Sigrid grabbed the pigeon, took the secret message from its feet, and looked at it.
"Oracle? Rakshasa?"
She narrowed her eyes with a cold look in her eyes.
"Is this God's will? Should Edward's life be cut off?"
She rubbed it with her hands, and the secret letter immediately ignited and she threw it into the air.
"Hmph! What an oracle, it's just a legend! I want to see how big a storm you can make!"
"Lode."
A figure walked out of the dark corner, silently, like a ghost.
"My subordinate is here!"
"Go and kill this oracle named Rakshasa! Don't let him ruin my plan!"
"Yes, Your Lady Queen!"
…
One night passed, and the cold winter sun reflected the frozen territory.
Everyone walked out of the residence, feeling the low temperature of 30 to 40 degrees below zero outside, as if they had fallen into an ice hole.
"It's really cold here!" Zhang Feng wrapped his clothes tightly and stood close to Zhang Ze: "It's much colder than our winter in Tianfeng City!"
Zhang Ze consoled him: "Keep on holding on, and we'll leave for Xiyue Canyon immediately. I heard that it's like spring there all year round."
"Really? Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly!" Xiaoniao Yiren couldn't help sneezing and urged again and again.
"Don't worry, the princes are not here yet."
Just as he was talking, he saw Prince Edward walking towards him with Knight Commander Elliot and Dr. Beth.
"I kept you waiting."
Edward greeted Zhang Ze, and Elliot looked at the Titan, Dragon King and others and suggested: "These are ordinary soldiers, why not call captains with stronger combat capabilities to replace them."
He still didn't know the true identities of Giant God and Liu Yueying, and thought they were no different from ordinary Guards soldiers.
Zhang Ze shook his head and said: "There is no need to replace them. These companions of mine are very strong, so you can rest assured."
Elliot wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Edward: "Just do what Mr. Rakshasa said, I believe him."
So, a group of people climbed onto the back of the Dark Dragon, grabbed its scales, and flew high into the sky.
"Haha! This is my first time flying in the sky!"
Edward looked excited. Although he was a prince, he was about the same age as Zhang Feng.
Beth also enjoyed this feeling, but Elliot suffered. He pressed his body tightly against the dragon god's back, holding on to the scales tightly and not daring to let go, for fear that he would fall and die.
If the Dragon God turns in the air, he will scream in fear.
The little princess and others looked amused, but they did not expect that this majestic Guards instructor was actually afraid of heights.
After more than a month's journey, the Dark Dragon God flew there in half a day. It landed on the ground and let everyone get down.
Prince Edward was satisfied, but Elliot's legs were already weak, and it took him a long time to recover.
"Lord Rakshasa, shall we take the Black Dragon when we come back? It's so fun!" Edward still had more to say.
"Your Highness, I request to ride back on horseback!" Elliot's face turned pale, and he resisted dizziness and vomiting.
Seeing him like this, everyone had to stop and let him rest before setting off again.
The entrance to Xiyue Canyon is very narrow and can only pass through a carriage, but once you enter the interior of the canyon, it suddenly becomes clear.
Everyone felt as if they were in a tropical rainforest, where a variety of plants and insects thrived. There was green life everywhere. Breathing in the aroma of green grass, everyone felt refreshed physically and mentally.
"Your Highness, please stand behind me to prevent someone from attacking me!" Elliot's face was not bloody yet, but he gritted his teeth and insisted on standing in front to protect the prince.
Zhang Ze asked: "Your Highness, do you know where the Elf Kingdom is? This canyon is quite large. If you look for it blindly, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"This..." Prince Edward looked embarrassed: "I don't know where the Elf Kingdom is. My godmother told me this."
Zhang Ze frowned and asked again: "Then your godmother didn't tell you any way to find the Elf Kingdom?"
"Sorry, no." The prince shook his head: "We can only look for it by ourselves."
Giant God and others looked at each other, and everyone communicated in the team channel.
"No, in such a big forest, how can we find the year of the monkey, the horse and the moon?"
"That godmother is too unreliable. Why didn't she tell the prince the specific location of the Elf Kingdom? Isn't this a waste of time and energy for us?"
"I suspect that the godmother may not know the specific location..."
"Whether we can find the Elf Kingdom is secondary. I'm worried that I will be attacked by the elves!"
"Yes, we are in the open now. Once the elves sneak up on us, we will be unable to defend ourselves!"
"Don't worry, my brother will definitely find a way!"
…
Zhang Ze looked at the scrolling messages and saw everyone's eyes focused on him, knowing that he had to find a way out.
Fortunately, he has followers to help him.
"Elf King, come out."
Originally, Zhang Ze planned to wait until he found the Elf Kingdom before letting the Elf King appear. Now it seems that this follower has to appear earlier.
"Elf! Elf!"
Beth screamed when she saw a tall and handsome male elf suddenly appear in front of her eyes.
Elliot drew out his sword nervously and protected Prince Edward behind him.
Prince Edward was also full of surprise and said hurriedly: "This elf friend, can you please take us to see your elf king?"
