Chapter 856 -716: Even a Madman Should Not Be Offended (Compensation Chapter)
Amiciya Mountains.
Outside the valley.
At a high peak, stood a group of armored cavalry, about a hundred in number.
Among them, there was an elf woman dressed in a white gown, her skin and hair as cold and white as snow, both ethereal and stunningly beautiful.
She quietly observed the movements in the valley, her gaze mostly fixed on the red-eyed youth, yet she seemed to be wary of something, her sight not lingering for too long.
Once upon a time.
She merely saw someone capturing wild beasts and devouring them raw in the forest, and out of caution and curiosity, she took a longer look.
Then this madman started to relentlessly pursue her.
For a whole three days and nights!
During those three days, she was in a constant state of frantic escape!
Thinking of these detestable events, the Ice and Snow Elf’s expression remained unchanged.
But as she glared at the people in the valley, the chill emanating from her spread continuously, with the ground beneath her feet already solidified into ice, and the surrounding leaves covered with frost.
The cavalry on the peak deliberately kept their distance, warily watching the Ice and Snow Elf’s silhouette from afar.
And within this group of cavalry.
There was another dressed in military garb, but whose aura did not fit with those of the valiant warriors.
His armor seemed carefully tailored, as if he had to wear it out of necessity, yet still wanted to maintain his elegance and demeanor, resulting in such a magnificent battle robe.
Most nobles on the continent, when they go hunting outside.
Tend to dress themselves in this way.
But he is not just a noble.
He is also a mage.
In this era when mystery is on the decline, the empire still worships many mages, and some have even reached the level of a Great Magician.
Of course, the Great Magicians of today.
Are certainly different from those of a thousand years ago.
But regardless, their status is extremely revered, with the empire granting them at least the title of viscount and a piece of land.
Great Magicians are very rare.
But for this mission.
Many Great Magicians were mobilized.
Escorted by elite cavalry, they had already set up an ambush here a day earlier, establishing a large Magic Array, just waiting for the target to enter this valley.
And now, the trap has been successfully sprung.
But because they have been unable to completely eliminate the target, the team has been unable to return to the Royal Capital, forced to wait it out here with the target.
This has made the mage somewhat impatient.
If it wasn’t for the Ice and Snow Elf’s arrival in the afternoon, the mage might have already left in impatience.
So at this moment.
Staring at the appearance of the Ice and Snow Elf, the mage’s eyes gradually grew greedy, his unabashed scrutinizing gaze as if he had already considered her his to take.
Suddenly, the Ice and Snow Elf returned his gaze with some impatience, her white eyes covered with frost.
The mage was not afraid, and he even revealed a smile with a deeper meaning to the other party.
After locking eyes for a while, the Ice and Snow Elf suddenly broke into a smile, like the melting of early snow, somewhat bewitchingly beautiful.
However, the words spoken were somewhat chilling.
“If you no longer want your eyes, I can help you remove them.”
The mage’s rippling smile froze in place.
He then laughed coldly with malicious intent: “You’re nothing but a stray dog. When we return to the Royal Capital, I will have His Majesty gift you to me, and show you what’s what. You elves, surely have never tasted—”
He couldn’t finish the latter part of his sentence.
Because the Ice and Snow Elf, who had been two yards away just a moment ago, had suddenly appeared right in front of him, her snow-white translucent fingers pressed against his right eye socket.
The cold from Extreme Frost was spreading.
But in the blink of an eye, his right side of the face had already stiffened, so cold that he couldn’t feel the slightest sensation!
The mage wanted to scream, but he felt his throat had frozen too, and apart from making a hoarse he-he sound, he couldn’t utter any words of begging for mercy!
“Your Highness! Please spare him!”
The leading officer of the cavalry hastily spoke.
The Ice and Snow Elf glanced at him, then retracted her fingers, and pulled over a nearby leaf to wipe her hand.
“If there’s a next time, don’t even think about keeping your left eye,” she said coldly.
The mage suddenly fell to the ground.
He touched the right side of his face in terror, but still couldn’t feel anything, even the sense of sight in his right eye had disappeared!
In the place he could not see, the right side of his face had become a sheet of ice.
As a Great Magician who lived a life of luxury, even the Varo Royal Family treated him with respect. When he realized what happened, he wanted to break down and rage.
However, the commander behind him moved quickly to cover his mouth and promptly took him away.
If he continued to offend.
The empire would lose another Great Magician that had not been easy to train.
Mages, as a group, always have proud and arrogant hearts, difficult to serve, especially in this era where mystery is in decline.
But they also know that there are people of higher status whom they cannot afford to offend.
However, they did not know.
That sometimes, madmen are not to be offended either.
The Cavalry Corps can’t defy this Ice Elf.
They are also unable to intervene in the actions of mages.
Stuck in the middle, they can only choose to tiptoe around in moments of crisis; difficult as it is, they have no choice, as both parties hold a higher status than they do.
Watching coldly as the mage was taken away, the anger of the Ice Elf caused by the black dragon eased slightly.
Once again, she turned her gaze to the valley.
The dragon was lying on the ground, looking half-dead with its eyes half-closed, while a Sun Knight seemed to be persuading it but failed to rouse the dragon.
Has it finally exhausted itself?
Or is it… bewitching them?
The eyes of the Ice Elf twinkled, and suddenly she turned to look at the forest behind her, with the Power of the Dawn Faith spreading invisibly, with a faint aura of frost.
In no time, dozens of Snow Magical Beasts of various species charged out of the woods, lingering loyally around her.
The Ice Elf stroked the head of one of the beasts.
Then she chuckled: “Go, keep a close eye on that dragon and give it a good beating for me.”
The Magical Beasts roared and leapt down the high peak without hesitation, easily breaching the Magic Array’s barrier and entering the formation.
The battle in the valley once again began.
Yet, the Order of the Sun Knights remained on high alert.
Spotting Magical Beasts attacking from above, dozens of them shone with a Radiant light, connecting their Aura of Light with one another, sharing their perceptions and battling in sync, even forming Shield Skills to block the Magical Beasts’ charge!
Even though they couldn’t defeat their enemies with a single strike.
But enduring a prolonged battle posed no problem at all!
Watching the valley, the Ice Elf narrowed her eyes.
She controlled a Snow Magical Beast to silently bypass the Sun Knights’ blockade, and suddenly, it charged towards the boy lying on the ground!
Then it fiercely bit down on his arm!
The ferocious Magical Beast tore violently, and before the crowd could react, it had viciously bitten off the boy’s arm, spurting blood everywhere!
Could it be… the sneak attack succeeded?!
…
Not to mention the Ice Elf didn’t expect it to be so easy.
Zuo Fang did not expect it either.
He was busy reconstructing Magic Sigils nearby.

When the Magical Beast attacked, he merely glanced up, saw that the Sun Knights could handle it, and continued with his work on breaking the formation since constructing Magic Sigils was demanding.
And when the Magical Beast approached.
Zuo Fang also saw it.
But because it wasn’t targeting him, he remained vigilant and had no intention of helping to defend.
Until suddenly there was flesh and blood splattering around him.
Zuo Fang: “???”
You’re not even trying to dodge, are you?!
…
