Cloud Thinking

Looking at the black mass of magical beasts flying towards this place in the sky, Hilda's face was so dark that ink could be squeezed out of it. Dean Philip, who was standing next to her, also had a solemn expression.

"It was a premeditated invasion." Dean Philip stroked his long beard and already had a guess in his mind.

"Prince Eric led the team to the Sad Forest to find the mastermind behind the scenes, but..." Hilda looked at the group of monsters that were obviously flying from the Sad Forest, and the uneasiness in her heart was infinitely magnified.

Perhaps because she was overthinking, Hilda's eyes went dark for a moment, and she leaned against the wall to stand up. Her eyes were dark, and she hadn't slept for a long time. She had obviously lost a lot of weight and looked extremely haggard.

"Admiral Hilda, the soldiers here still need you, so please take care of yourself." Dean Philip said considerately, "As for the group of monsters, let us deal with them."

Soon, the materials needed for the large-scale complex magic circle to kill the monsters were ready. Dean Philip and three other ninth-level great magicians climbed up to the tallest tower, where they set up a magic circle to kill any monsters that tried to approach under the city wall.

The attack of the group of monsters in the air was unexpected, but it was not completely unavoidable. Fifteen high-level magicians supported the defense barrier, and the remaining magicians were stationed on the city walls and launched magic attacks from the outside.

"It's really hard to tell whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that both crown princes are involved in this war all of a sudden." Angert flew in the air, always observing the conditions of the monsters in the air. If there was insufficient firepower anywhere, he would go to fill in the gap.

"This is not something we need to worry about." Glinton floated not far away from him and replied emotionlessly.

"Princess Helia has made great achievements this time. She killed a dragon by herself. Her legend will probably spread across the entire continent!"

Angert just couldn't keep quiet, even though the situation was very tense, the wand in his hand never stopped casting magic, and he chanted spells until his mouth was dry and his lips were about to be chapped, but he still couldn't help but say a few words whenever he had the chance.

"She deserves it," Glinton replied.

Although this man looked depressed, had a cold face, and was very annoyed by Angert's endless mouth, every time Angert spoke, he would respond, even if it was just a "hmm".

"I mean, if Princess Helia is so powerful, maybe she will be the next heir." Angert muttered.

Glinton glanced at him and saw from his expression that he must be joking.

"This is not something we can discuss. I will pretend I didn't hear it this time. Don't talk about it again."

Carter College is a neutral party and is absolutely not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the Otis Empire. Whether Eric or Helia succeeds to the throne in the future has nothing to do with them.

"Oh, I was just joking. Don't be so serious." Angert laughed it off. "But after all, Princess Helia is our own student at Carter College. She's so capable. I can't help but favor my own people a little more."

"Princess Helia has only been here for less than half a year, and the academy has been uneasy for half a year. I find it a little hard to tolerate such a fellow citizen." Grinton commented objectively.

If Helia were here, she would definitely jump up and shout, "I'm going to sue you for defamation! You're defaming me!"

The monster tide lasted for a whole day before receding, but it was only a temporary retreat. It is unclear whether it will come again tomorrow or when it will come again.

As night fell, everyone was exhausted. Except for some people who stayed behind to keep watch, the rest went back to rest.

However, Hilda and Mobichues had not yet rested. They led a team of men and rushed out of the city towards the center of the battlefield.

Helia was still there, and even if she had died, they had to find a way to bring her body back for a proper burial.

The road was almost entirely filled with the corpses of magical beasts, and they had a very difficult time walking. However, no one complained, not even the talkative Angert. Perhaps he was just too tired.

The group arrived directly at the border of the domain. Mobicius studied it carefully and said solemnly, "This is indeed a domain, but it is not Princess Helia's."

"Whose is that? Can we break in?" asked Anget.

"I don't know, but the opponent is stronger than me and I can't handle it." said Mobichues.

"You, a tenth-rank great magician, the strongest fire magician on the continent, you can't handle it? You're doomed." Angert was shocked at first, and then said with a negative look on his face.

"Let's look around the edge first." Hilda also had a heavy face, but she still didn't want to give up, so she and Mobichues led the team in two directions respectively.

The snow had been falling since Helia killed the dragon and had not stopped until now. The dragon's body was covered with a layer of snow, but the strange thing was that the scarlet soil on the ground was clean and dry. The snow melted instantly when it fell on it, and disappeared without a trace.

The first one to find Helia was Mobichues. He valued this apprentice more than his own eyes. With just one glance, he was sure that the blurry figure lying next to the dragon's corpse was his unfortunate apprentice. However, what concerned him was that there seemed to be someone standing next to Helia.

Is he the lord of this realm? Is he Helia's friend? Or is he some chivalrous man who saw injustice and came to the rescue?

"Excuse me, sir...?" Mobicius asked politely.

"Take her back to rest." A vague and ethereal voice came from afar, and Helia, who was lying on the ground, slowly floated up, and flew to Mobichues, passed through the inviolable transparent wall, and landed steadily in Angert's arms.

Why not in Mobichues' arms? Oh, maybe he thought the old man was too old and was afraid that Helia, the little pig, would break his old bones.

The domain still hadn't been taken back, and the man didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. It seemed that he wanted to guard the dragon's body.

Mobichues watched vigilantly for a long time, and after confirming that the other party was indeed not hostile, he thanked them and went to meet up with Hilda and the others.

Coincidentally, Hilda and her companions ran into Eric and his companions who had just evacuated from the Sad Forest. Although everyone in the team was in a very bad state, fortunately there were no serious casualties and everyone came out safe and sound.

However, everyone was in a low mood, especially Eric. After seeing the dragon's body, he immediately rushed over and hit the air wall hard, causing his nose to bleed.

"Your Highness Eric, did your trip go smoothly?" Hilda asked with concern.

"Where is my sister? Have you found Aya?" Eric's eyes were bloodshot. He wiped the blood from his nose and stared at Hilda coldly.

"Her Highness Helia should be in this area, but this area cannot be opened. We are still looking for a way." Hilda said truthfully.

Eric looked back at the area, wondering what he was thinking.

At this moment, Angert's voice came from not far away. His voice was so loud that it almost echoed throughout the entire battlefield, making it hard not to hear it.

"Admiral Hilda! We found Princess Helia!"

"Admiral Hilda! We found Princess Helia!"

After hearing the sound, Eric was the one who ran the fastest.

Anget saw a bloody and miserable man rushing up to him, trying to snatch Helia from his arms. He subconsciously hugged the man tightly and stepped back several steps, shouting as he retreated: "Who are you! What are you doing! You are robbing me!"

Eric stopped walking, just stared at him, and held out his hands, "Give me Aya."

His pair of sapphire eyes glowed faintly in the thick night. Although his golden hair had been soaked in blood countless times, it was still bright and could not be ignored.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness Prince Eric! I was so scared, I thought some desperate guy was coming to kidnap someone!" Angert joked as he handed Helia in his arms to Eric. Eric hugged his sister tightly, choking with sobs and almost unable to make a sound.

With trembling hands, he brushed the hair off Helia's face, lowered his head and looked at her face carefully. He gently placed his hand on her neck. The warm touch and the steady beating of her pulse finally put his heart at ease.

"Aya..." Eric knelt down weakly, rubbing his forehead against Helia's face gently, tears welled up in his eyes and soaked Helia's face. The feeling of losing and regaining made him burst into tears.

Mobichues caught up and looked at the scene, feeling uncomfortable. His eyes turned red and he almost cried.

Angert rubbed his nose and turned his head to look elsewhere, thinking that Prince Eric might be embarrassed to let others see his out-of-control side.

Hilda was genuinely happy. Fortunately, fortunately, Helia and Eric were both safe and sound. Now that the brother and sister were reunited, she could finally put her mind at ease.

Seeing that Eric had almost finished crying, Mobichues quickly advised, "Prince Eric, let's go back quickly. Princess Helia's current condition is still unclear. Let's go back and give her a thorough checkup. You should also have a good rest."

In fact, he was worried that Eric's crying would attract the monsters... Who would have thought that he would cry so loudly, so heartbreaking...

Eric wiped Helia's face again, but his hands were very dirty, and the more he wiped, the dirtier they became. When he realized this, he quickly stopped, half-knelt and stood up holding the person. Although his arms were shaking, he still held her firmly and refused to let go.

"Okay, let's go back."

Helia slept for a very long time, so long that Eric suspected that she might not wake up, but the doctor and the high-level healing magician said that she was fine, just too tired, so he could only wait.

During this period, the monster did not attack, and lay dormant as before. Eric briefly told Hilda and Dean Philip about what happened in the forest. After discussing, the three of them agreed that there was a mastermind behind the monster, and this guy was planning a big game, and they had to find him out as soon as possible.

The situation in the Xiali Empire was very bad. They did not have as many sufficient manpower and high-level magicians as the Otis Empire, so it took them nearly two days to quell the beast tide and the border was almost lost.

After Dean Philip temporarily set up Maduo's defense line, he immediately took his men to the Xiali Empire for support. Even if he was not stationed there, he should help set up high-level magic circles for defense and attack.

For Carter College, there are no national boundaries in the face of Warcraft.

At the same time, the news that Princess Helia had single-handedly killed the dragon also spread within the country. Such shocking news could not be concealed and it spread like wildfire.

Some people don't believe it, but the dragon's body is still lying there, so they have no choice but to believe it.

Hilda reported the general situation of the beast tide to Claude. He was silent for a long time in the mirror, and then asked, "How is Aya?"

"Xiaoya hasn't woken up yet, but the doctor said she's just too tired. She should be fine after a few more days of rest." Hilda replied.

Claude breathed a sigh of relief, and his frown finally relaxed a little. He rubbed his forehead and asked again, "Where's Eric?"

"Prince Eric has been with Xiaoya these days. After returning from the Sad Forest, he was covered in wounds and is still recuperating." Hilda replied.

"So is there any progress regarding Aya's disappearance?" Claude asked again.
