I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"So, Youyou, do you know why this horse tried to throw me off?"

Upon hearing Fiana's words, Yuhaka also asked the horse a few questions, and upon hearing Yuhaka's calls, the horse also made a sound as if it were saying something to Yuhaka.

Yuhaka nodded, then looked at Fiana and said:

"Little Pony said that Fiana has a pungent smell that is very unpleasant to smell OwO."

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Fiana looked at her clothes with a surprised expression and said:

"Huh?! You're kidding, right?!"

After smelling herself, Fiana didn't smell anything resembling the pungent odor Yuhaka had described. Yuhaka tilted his head and looked at Fiana, saying:

"But Youyou also smelled it; it smelled like chili peppers."

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Fiana was taken aback for a moment, then stroked her chin and said:

"Eh... in that case, I have used chili peppers or something when I cook..."

Great, now you know the cause and effect all at once.

.................................. .................................

Finally, after Alice and her Wind King Knights team reunited with Yuhaka and the others, they set off for the location of Gade. After riding for a whole day, they arrived at the vicinity of Gade. However, by the time they got there, it was already late at night. Due to not resting on the way, everyone looked very tired, except for the energetic Yuhaka.

"Is this the mining city of Gade?"

Linslet frowned as she looked at the ruins not far away and said:

"This place is practically a ghost town..."

Alice dismounted from her horse and said to Linslet:

"That's true. After all, this mine has been abandoned for decades, and apart from elves, no one lives here."

"That's certainly true..."

Claire squinted at the will-o'-the-wisps floating among the ruined buildings in the distance. Those will-o'-the-wisps, which flickered with blue and white light, were actually a kind of low-level spirit with floating properties. Evil spirits usually gathered in such ruins.

At the other end of the ruins stands a massive mountain range with countless abandoned tunnels. This mountain is called the Gad Mine, which was once a rich source of elven ore and the largest mine in the empire.

During the great war, the elven ore had been completely mined out, and the place was abandoned.

The strategic-level military spirit sealed away by the old Austrian Knights is also slumbering beneath this mine.

Alice looked at the members of the Wind King Knights squad and said:

"Alright, everyone, check—"

Before Alice could finish speaking, the ground suddenly trembled violently. Everyone present, except for Yuhaka, almost fell over, and the horses also let out very uneasy neighing.

"This is...an earthquake?!"

Linslet looked around in surprise and said this, while Alice said with a serious expression:

"I don't know, but I think it's better to act quickly. I have a bad feeling about this."

Hearing Alice's words, Claire nodded and said:

“I feel the same way…”

As she spoke, Claire used her elven magic to summon a fireball, which illuminated the dim surroundings.

Soon, after passing through the end of the city center road, the group saw the entrance to the mine. Ahead stood a massive temple, its interior adorned with several thick stone pillars, giving it a very imposing appearance.

Even within the Austroasiatic Empire, only the imperial capital could boast such a massive temple. However, it is regrettable that the statues inside the temple were severely damaged, and all the elven ore embedded in the stone pillars was knocked off, turning the temple, which was originally meant to please the elves, into a pitiful ruin.

"Ok?"

Just then, Fiana also noticed something unusual. Alice, who was standing nearby, looked at Fiana and asked:

"What's wrong, Fiana? Have you noticed something?"

Upon hearing Alice's question, Fiana nodded and said:

"Yes, although this temple has been reduced to ruins, there are traces of liberation ceremonies held underground, and it seems that they have been held several times in the past few months."

Hearing Fiana's words, there was no doubt that someone had already begun liberating the strategic-level military elves here.

Chapter 673 [A Coincidental Accident]

Upon learning that a liberation ceremony was being held here, the people all showed expressions of shock. Clearly, this matter was quite surprising to them. After all, such a high-level ceremony as a liberation ceremony requires a sufficient number of priestesses to perform it. But where would a terrorist organization get so many priestesses to perform such a ceremony?

Alice, who was standing nearby, then quickly asked Fiana:

"How's it going?! Is the seal almost broken?"

Hearing Alice's anxious question, Fiana calmly shook her head and said:

"No, it should be alright, because this temple is not a high-level [True Temple]."

"True Temple? What's that?"

Fiana explained the situation to everyone in response to their questions.

"This great temple is just a smokescreen to hide the real temple. If it's a place that's important for sealing strategic-level military spirits, they would usually deliberately build a luxurious temple on it to cover up the truth. Although such a temple can still be used."

Upon hearing Fiana's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, Yuhaka's beast ears stood up, and the Baladion Sword and the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword appeared in Yuhaka's hands.

"The bad guy has appeared! OДO!"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, everyone raised their elven magic armor. Claire also chanted an elven spell, igniting a flame in the air. Instantly, the surrounding enemies were also illuminated, appearing as a group of beings resembling skeleton soldiers.

Some members of the Wind King Knights looked at the skeleton soldiers with surprise and pointed at them, saying:

"Ah! It's those skeleton soldiers who attacked the academy before!"

Upon hearing the words of the Wind King Knights, Linslet turned around and looked at the members of the Wind King Knights with a surprised expression, saying:

"These are the guys who attacked the academy. Are they summoned by terrorist organizations?!"

Alice, wielding a long spear and dressed in elven armor, nodded as she looked at the dragon tooth soldiers who resembled skeletons and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, that's indeed the case."

Then, the Dragon Tooth Soldiers made a series of clicking sounds and charged towards Yuhaka and the others. Alice and the others were getting into position to unleash their elven magic, but at that moment, Yuhaka also flew over the heads of the Wind King Knights and charged towards the Dragon Tooth Soldiers, unleashing a Mountain Crash Strike downwards!

boom--!

With a deafening roar, the dragon tooth soldiers around where Yuhaka landed were instantly reduced to fragments by the powerful impact, scattering and scattering the nearby dragon tooth soldiers into disarray.

The onlookers were stunned, clearly not expecting Yuhaka's cannonball-like leaping strike to possess such power.

After Yhaka landed among the Dragon Fang Soldiers, all the aggro of the surrounding Dragon Fang Soldiers was drawn away by Yhaka. Yhaka then wielded his twin swords, which could cut through iron like mud, and shredded the charging Dragon Fang Soldiers into pieces one by one.

Seeing Yuhaka wreaking havoc among the Dragon Fang Soldiers, Alice and the others were also full of morale and rushed forward. However, Claire and Linslet, who were supposed to be guards for Fiana, did not go forward.

At this moment, Claire looked at Fiana beside her with a puzzled expression and said:

"By the way, Fiana, why don't you summon your contracted spirit?"

Hearing Claire's words, Fiana was also taken aback for a moment, and then, looking a little embarrassed, she said:

"that......"

Linslet, who was standing nearby, looked at Fiana and said after hearing Claire's words:

"Indeed... I don't recall ever seeing Fiana summon her contracted spirit before."

When asked about her abilities, Fiana explained that her Holy-attribute spirit summoning was extremely demanding and couldn't be done casually. Upon hearing Fiana's words, Claire and Linslet looked on with a mixture of disbelief and skepticism, since some spirits do indeed have such demanding summoning conditions, and most high-ranking spirits are individuals with unique personalities.

Soon, under Yuhaka's reaping-like cleanup, a large number of Dragon Tooth Soldiers were reduced to bone dust, and the rest were finished off one by one by the Wind King Knights.

After clearing out this batch of Dragon Tooth Soldiers, Alice seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, if they were to deal with all of those Dragon Tooth Soldiers, it would be difficult for Alice and her dozen or so women to handle the siege of dozens of Dragon Tooth Soldiers.

Fortunately, Yuhaka was there; otherwise, a small number of their knights might have been injured in the attack of this wave of Dragon Tooth soldiers.

Alice looked at Eugène, who was holding Baladion and Esther, and gave a knightly salute, saying:

"Thank you so much for your help, Youyou. We might have had a hard time dealing with so many enemies just now."

Hearing Alice's words, Yuhaka tilted her head in confusion, as if she didn't understand why Alice was thanking her. Weren't they teammates? (Yuhaka believed teammates should help each other.)

Seeing Yuhaka's O^O? expression, Alice was also charmed. She immediately covered her nose and coughed to regain her composure. However, Alice was unaware that her actions had been seen by her teammates, who pretended not to notice. It seems that the members of the Wind King Knights already knew what kind of personality their captain had.

..................................................................................

After dealing with a large wave of Dragon Tooth Soldiers and a group of skeletons possessed by elves, Yuhaka and her companions continued their advance towards the true location of the temple. Just as they were about to arrive, a sudden explosion rang out in the tunnel where Yuhaka and her companions were located, causing the entire tunnel to shake violently. Immediately, a lot of rubble fell from above onto Yuhaka and her companions.

Whether by coincidence or not, the members of Alice's Wind King Knights and Claire's group were accidentally separated, and the two sides were suddenly divided into two teams.

Chapter 674 [Loli Playing with Loli, Lots of Fun]

"hateful!"

Unwilling to accept defeat, Alice tapped the cave wall as she looked at the pit blocked by rubble and said this. The members of the Wind King's Knights, standing nearby, looked at Alice with worried expressions and asked:

"Commander, what should we do now?"

Hearing the knight's words, Alice took a deep breath to calm herself down, then looked at the knights present and said:

"Let's get the elves who can handle these stones to clear the tunnel first, otherwise Yu-Yu and the others won't be able to get out."

Just then, members of the Wind King Knights at the back called out:

"Captain! There are so many skeletons coming from behind us!"

Upon hearing the knight's words, Alice showed a surprised expression. When she turned around, she saw several skeletons rushing towards them, and Alice immediately looked annoyed.

.................................................. ..................

Meanwhile, on Yuhaka's side...

"My butt hurts so much..."

Claire rubbed her bottom and stood up from the hard rock ground. Looking up, she wore a disgruntled expression and said:

"Damn it, were those guys the ones who caused the explosion that blew up the tunnel?"

Linslet, who was standing nearby, patted the sand off her head and said:

"Probably, but how are you, Fiana? Are you alright?"

Fiana, who had fallen from above, rubbed her slightly throbbing head and slowly stood up. Then, looking around with a puzzled expression, she said:

"Huh? Where's Youyou?"

Upon hearing Fiana's words, everyone realized that the familiar little girl with the "OwO" face was nowhere to be seen, which immediately panicked them. Soon, they saw a tail sticking out from a pile of rocks, and upon seeing this, they were also filled with alarm.
