Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Xi Wei carefully considered the girls he had teased, and it seemed there was only Gabriel. With nowhere to vent his desires in the front lines, he did indeed feel the urge to find Gabriel and offer her encouragement.
“And Gabriel, that’s it!”
Xi Wei’s gaze was remarkably composed.
Purer than the purest little elf.
“As expected,” Loli and Ruo Yi exchanged glances, both showing expressions of “we knew it.” Regarding Gabriel, they had primarily observed her behavior during their daily interactions.
Although this arbiter was very good at hiding her feelings, every lunchtime in the cafeteria, the moment Xi Wei appeared, her gaze would immediately lock onto him.
According to reliable sources, the little maid had also heard the arbiter, late at night, calling out Xi Wei’s name in her room while seemingly chanting unknown magic with great pain and suppression.
Loli and Ruo Yi both knew what kind of magic it was.
To put it nicely, it was a maiden’s crush.
To put it crudely, it was a female’s arousal.
“However, Gabriel hasn’t made a move on you yet, or rather, you haven’t had the chance?” Ruo Yi asked again.
“No, no,” Xi Wei chuckled awkwardly, shaking his head. It was just a little bit short.
“Since that’s the case, let’s find an opportunity to ‘take care of’ Gabriel!”
The little maid chimed in, her words sounding like a clap of thunder.
Xi Wei: ⊙ω⊙？？？
“This, isn’t this a bit inappropriate…”
“What’s inappropriate about it? Master, don’t you like Gabriel? Gabriel has long legs, a great figure, a well-endowed physique, and a sacred aura. Even I find myself tempted when I look at her~” The little maid licked her lips, a wicked smile curving her mouth.
“Exactly. Besides, Gabriel also has feelings for you. Don’t keep her waiting too long. This isn’t like you. And we just found out about Bai Yao’s matter…”
At this point.
Ruo Yi sighed apologetically, “I’m sorry, Master. Loli and I originally intended to create some private time for you and Bai Yao by using the excuse of studying divine arts. But we clearly underestimated your… beastly strength, darn it! We underestimated your combat prowess and managed to make Bai Yao run away…”
What else could Xi Wei say?
He could only offer an even more awkward smile, his toes practically digging a three-room, one-hall apartment into the ground.
Loli sensed Xi Wei’s embarrassment, giggled, and snuggled into his arms, kissing his neck. “Mwah!”
“We felt you shouldn’t be pent up for too long, so we came back immediately. We can start now~”
“Start? Start what?”
Xi Wei frowned, feeling that this matter was not simple.
“Snap—!”
Ruo Yi snapped her fingers, and everything around them instantly froze.
“Of course, it’s time for you to relax properly…”
“This, this isn’t good~”
“Tsk, tsk, Master is being coy. Your words are reserved, but your body is quite restless~”
…
After subjecting Xi Wei to some severe “torture,” the two goddesses then conducted a “questioning” of the awakened Connie, which was more of a storm in a teacup.
After that, the matter was dropped.
The next afternoon, the three girls became the best of friends. Not only did they readily accept the dragon milk made by Connie, but they also took Connie shopping for a lot of jewelry and clothes, helping the simple dragon, who only knew how to wear white dresses, learn to dress up.
For Connie, this was undoubtedly an overwhelming experience.
Xi Wei spent a few more days as a decadent ruler in Winter Fort. Finally, a change appeared on the Andor Empire’s battlefield.
Under the terrifying pollution of the Old Ones’ Retainers, the Naga royal army suffered a blow. However, the Old Ones’ Retainers were generally not strong fighters; they were just more troublesome. The key was that Azunax, the sea monster summoned by the Naga Empress, had gone berserk for no apparent reason.
This once docile sea monster, like a sharp sword, pierced the heart of the Naga royal family, inflicting further heavy losses on their army. Afterward, the Naga royal army began to retreat from the territory of the Andor Empire while fighting the Old Ones’ Retainers, unwillingly.
The sea monster was then forcibly recalled by the Naga Empress.
As soon as the Naga royal army retreated.
The Players were overjoyed.
The Old Ones’ Retainers had already been beaten to a pulp by the Naga royal army.
The remaining Old Ones’ Retainers were elites, but there were very few of them. They also possessed resurrection characteristics similar to undead, making them perfect experience fodder!
Thus, on the territory of the Andor Empire, the primary force fighting the Old Ones’ Retainers immediately shifted from the Naga royal family to the Players of Winter City.
At the same time, a group of Knights and Players from the Kairid Empire clashed with them.
…
Wintery Calendar Year 1, November 21st.
The Emperor of Kairid dispatched a legion of Pure-bloods and logistics units to the border of the Andor Empire.
They did not intend to help the Andor Empire eradicate the Old Ones’ Retainers, but only to assess the situation and prevent the Old Ones’ Retainers from the Andor Empire from entering Kairid Empire’s territory.
Upon seeing the “soldiers” of the Wintery Empire engaging in battle with the Old Ones’ Retainers, these Pure-bloods felt ashamed and were about to step forward to assist these “soldiers” from Winter City, only to be driven away with curses by these “soldiers.”
“Who are you little weaklings! Get lost!”
“Exactly! Wearing a silver mask, do you think you’re the Phantom Thief Kid?”
“I’d like to see who dares to come and steal my experience! Damn it, it’s bad enough for Players to steal experience, but why are NPCs joining the fun? I’ll blow you up with one Flame Burst, you idiot!”
The newcomers were not soldiers from Winter City.
Therefore, the Players did not hold back.
Behind them stood the Legendary-grade King of Winter.
Even more terrifying was that the King of Winter already had two goddesses behind him, which made the Players act with arrogance towards any NPC outside the Wintery Empire, no matter where they went.
They were completely fearless.
They were like crabs these days.
They were walking sideways.
A few days ago, they had rescued a noble young lady from the Andor Empire, and that young lady actually demanded that they escort her to a safe country.
Heh heh~
Treating them players as porters?
And with no reward?
They were immediately given a sound beating. When she tried to threaten them with her status, they gave her another beating.
Until the young lady finally recognized the reality of the situation.
She was now serving drinks and water as logistical support for the Players behind the battlefield.
The Pure-blood army of the Kairid Empire found the disrespectful behavior of the Wintery Empire soldiers incomprehensible and retreated in anger.
Wintery Calendar Year 1, November 27th.
The Kairid Empire army built a brand new fortress at the entrance of Caltem Grand Canyon, the mandatory passage between the Andor Empire and the Kairid Empire.
With the help of earth element mages.
This super fortress, primarily intended to resist the Old Ones’ Retainers, with a height of fifty meters, quickly saw its main structure completed.
Wintery Calendar Year 1, November 29th.
The King of Winter, accompanied by two goddesses, arrived at the Andor Empire battlefield to sweep through the remaining Old Ones’ Retainers within the entire Andor Empire.
The war in the Andor Empire ended, and the Wintery Empire army withdrew. Three days later, they dispatched another army to carry out post-disaster reconstruction work in various cities of the Andor Empire.
Of course, after the reconstruction, these cities naturally hoisted the flag of the Wintery Empire. From then on, the Wintery Empire completely annexed 80% of the territory of the North Continent, becoming the dominant imperial power of the North Continent.
