At the end of the second year of the Flame Demon Era, the world was icebound.
In the southern part of the Faser Continent, outside Black Heaven City, two massive armies were in a standoff.
"Flame Demon King Buck, I admire you, leave Lin Ke and join me, and I will guarantee your survival."
On one side were giant deer that seemed as if carved from ice, each of towering stature.
These were the Ice Crystal Giant Deer clan of the Naseng Eternal Freeze Court!
Opposing them was Flame Demon King Buck and his forces.
These were Lin Ke’s forces.
"Hahaha, I admire you too; why don’t you join me instead?"
Lin Ke laughed heartily, riding a Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull, exuding confidence at the head of the Faser First People’s Volunteer Army.
The Faser First People’s Volunteer Army, fifty thousand strong, included three thousand Mages, with the rest being ordinary Mortal Knights.
The leading Ice Crystal Giant Deer said nothing, his gaze indifferent, but a slightly smaller Ice Crystal Giant Deer beside him scolded coldly, "Insolence! Mere lower plane natives, be careful lest we slaughter your entire plane!"
"So you’re saying you don’t intend to leave Black Heaven City?" Lin Ke’s expression also turned cold upon hearing this.
In response, the opposing side fell silent, but began to swell with the power of the professionals.
The surrounding was already a world of ice and snow, with several starlight-level Ice Crystal Giant Deer mastering the laws of ice and snow.
But that leading Ice Crystal Giant Deer possessed rules related to lava and fire.
"Comrades, these intruders violate our homeland, insult our character... for the glory of Faser!"
Lin Ke raised the Thunder Arm Strength Ball high in his hands, erupting intense lava that melted the surrounding ice and snow.
At the same time, his body and the Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull beneath him suddenly enlarged, with lava bubbling from their bodies.
"I am... the Flame Demon King!" Lin Ke’s voice echoed far and wide, terrifying in its momentum.
"For the glory of Faser!"
"For the glory of Faser!"
"For the glory of Faser!"
The Faser First People’s Volunteer Army shouted aloud, their voices resounding in the sky.
"Quite the momentum..." The voice of the leader of the Ice Crystal Giant Deer was as elegant and light as spring snow.
This Ice Crystal Giant Deer was a contemporary of the Insomnia Emperor, one was the chief’s son of the Eternal Freeze Court, the other was a prince of the Gula Kingdom.
Back then, the Insomnia traveled the world, including the Holy Life Alliance, Eternal Freeze Court, Ocean of Stars and Waves, and even the other two continents.
He fought the young generation, rarely meeting defeat.
Back then, the several starlight-level rivals of the Insomnia were almost evenly matched.
One of them was indeed this chief’s son of the Ice Crystal Giant Deer.
And now, the once Prince of Insomnia had become a terrifying presence controlling the entire plane.
But this Ice Crystal Giant Deer remained at the starlight level, unable to break through to legend.
In fact, most intelligent beings never break through to legend, with many dying at the starlight level with regret.
Even achieving the starlight level was difficult for the majority, and it was only with vast resources that this Ice Crystal Giant Deer barely reached it.
This Ice Crystal Giant Deer spent decades consolidating the starlight level, seeking improvement from a solid foundation, but made little progress in centuries.
In contrast, the Insomnia Emperor advanced rapidly, reaching beyond his father’s achievements, dominating an era.
Later, even the descendants of Insomnia entered the legendary realm one by one, with some able to challenge their father.
Yet he remained at the starlight level.
And now, even the betrothed of Insomnia’s youngest daughter dared to challenge him.
No, this Buck before him was merely a local puppet propped up by Insomnia’s son-in-law.
To think he dares to boast before him?
"Everyone, kill them all." The Ice Crystal Giant Deer’s indifferent gaze erupted with strong killing intent.
From the Insomnia Emperor to the puppet Buck, all must die!
He stepped through the air, his icy body gradually turning red, particularly the antlers intertwined like branches, which ignited with raging flames.
"Exploding Great Meteor." The Ice Crystal Giant Deer charged forward at high speed, breaking the sound barrier, producing terrifying explosions in the air.
To Lin Ke, it seemed the Ice Crystal Giant Deer was like a giant meteor crashing down with incredible momentum.
For at this moment, his army had more than just John and Knicks; his Great Wilderness Knight Order was also among them.
Lin Ke charged forward, instinctively wanting to shout "I will lead the charge," but held back.
Not far behind him, John’s eyes emitted intense white light, his hands moving as if playing an extremely difficult piano piece.
After all, there were fifty thousand people here!
Meanwhile, Yale manipulated energy, placing a black or white chess piece above everyone’s head, though the pieces appeared slightly ethereal.
This was their first time commanding a war of fifty thousand, and it was rather challenging.
Now, with the Ice Crystal Giant Deer attacking, Yale immediately shifted formations: "Hawk Constellation!"
Endless energy gathered onto Lin Ke, who swung his fist, the Thunder Arm Strength Ball significantly amplifying his power. Fınd the newest release on novel•fire.net
Lin Ke, mounted on the Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull, clashed with the Ice Crystal Giant Deer, and was then flung back at even higher speed, crashing to the ground.
However, Yale promptly altered the formation to mitigate the damage.
John divided the damage onto everyone, creating a mere sensation of being struck in the chest for each.
"Great Wilderness Tactician John? Lin Ke is quite generous." In the sky, the Ice Crystal Giant Deer’s voice remained calm as ever, the killing intent undiminished: "Even with your entire army, you cannot match me, and I have so many more on my side—are you sure you want to oppose me?"
The other Ice Crystal Giant Deer stood behind him, ready to slaughter the fifty thousand at his command.
At this moment, Lin Ke and the Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull climbed out of the pit on the ground, covered in dust but largely unharmed.
"I don’t oppose you—you invade my homeland, we defend our own!" Lin Ke answered loudly, adding, "You think you’re superior in numbers? Behind us stand the millions of Faser!"
"Heh, millions, I only see... huh?" The Ice Crystal Giant Deer intended to sneer at Lin Ke, but his expression suddenly changed.
High in the sky, stars appeared one after another, emitting a unique glow.
Fifty deities of moderate divine power and three with greater divine power appeared high above.
A deity for each Ice Crystal Giant Deer, directly descending upon them.
"Can’t beat you? Doesn’t mean I can’t call for reinforcements?" Lin Ke grinned, mounted the Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull again, and raised his fist high.
"For the glory of Faser!"
