Volume 4 Chapter 73

Volume 4 + Chapter 73: Northern Rebellion Army

“Then, everyone, let us celebrate in advance Her Highness’s arrival at the Northern Mining Field—”

All the dragons clinked their glasses together, laughing heartily:

“Cheers!!”

They had just clinked glasses, before even having a chance to take a sip, when they felt a deafening roar emanate from the large snow convoy.

BOOM!!

An astonishing scene unfolded.

A violent explosion had occurred at the rear of the large snow convoy, shattering the chains linking the snow vehicles together.

“This is bad!!”

Chelsea reacted immediately.

Because the chains used by the large snow convoy were made from Frost Crystal Ore and could even withstand the terrifying blizzards here, such an unwarranted breakage was necessarily due to unnatural, abnormal circumstances, most likely man-made.

“Three Great Sled Generals, stop immediately!!”

Under Chelsea’s command, the Three Great Sled Generals ceased moving forward. However, due to inertia, the large snow convoy continued to slide for a while longer.

BOOM!!

Another explosion rang out. This time, everyone saw it clearly, a massive fireball fell from the sky, exploding on the large snow convoy, blowing apart the vehicles in the rear half and causing them to detach from the group.

And all the items loaded on those snow vehicles were precious supplies.

Anyone with eyes could tell that the flames from just now were—

“Enemy attack!! We’re under attack!!” Chelsea roared.

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

Enemy attack?

This kind of situation was almost unheard of by those present. Who would be so insane as to attack the Northern Mining Field’s snow convoy?

Moreover, being able to launch an attack against the Northern Mining Field’s snow convoy in a dangerous place like the Far North Lands, where blizzards frequently occur, definitely indicated an organized, premeditated effort!

“ROAR!!!”

From the sky, everyone saw several dragons who had unleashed their true dragon forms diving down towards them.

“Protect Her Highness! Engage!!”

Chelsea flung his wine glass away and unleashed his true dragon form.

The other Northern Mining Field dragons also reverted to their original forms. Dragons appeared almost simultaneously, surrounding and protecting Xia Yi.

As staff of the Northern Mining Field responsible for overseeing the prisoner-miners, possessing corresponding combat strength was naturally necessary.

They gathered their dragon breath together, intending to attack the dragons diving down from the sky, directly shooting them down.

Just as the Northern Mining Field dragons had gathered their dragon breath halfway, the snowy ground beside them suddenly exploded. Many dragons who had been ambushed beneath the snow emerged like surprise troops.

“This is terrible!” Chelsea thought to himself, feeling that things had gone wrong.

He wanted to order the others to attack the suddenly appearing dragons, but he was a step too late. Their dragon breath was on the verge of hitting the Northern Mining Field dragons.

“Ice Magic Shield!”

Xia Yi hastily used chant moderation, deploying a large-scale magic shield without the need for incantation, blocking the enemy’s dragon breath.

“Thank you so much, Your Highness!”

This was the first time everyone had witnessed the Silver Dragon Princess display her strength.

Although this move protected everyone, it was clear the enemies’ attacks had another target. The dragons diving from the sky swept away all the vehicles in the rear of the large snow convoy that were loaded with supplies. They beat their wings forcefully, flying off into the distance.

“You bastards, have you lost your minds, actually robbing the Northern Mining Field’s supplies?!” Chelsea shouted angrily. “Do you know who we represent?”

“Northern Mining Field? Hmph!”

A dragon who was clearly the leader stepped forward, his face full of disdain.

“I’m robbing you a lot precisely! Today we take your supplies, tomorrow we dismantle the Northern Mining Field, and the day after, our Northern Rebellion Army will march to the Northern Royal Capital and drag the Silver Dragon Queen down from her throne!!”

Xia Yi heard a term that caught her attention.

Northern Rebellion Army?

What was that?

“Northern Rebellion Army?”

Hearing this term, Chelsea frowned tightly, fine beads of sweat beginning to form on his forehead.

“Chelsea, what’s wrong?” Xia Yi inquired. “Northern Rebellion Army, what is that?”

“Your Highness, this is…”

Chelsea suddenly became hesitant and stammering, as did the other Northern Mining Field dragons.

“Your Highness?”

The leader of the Northern Rebellion Army spotted Xia Yi among the crowd. Looking closely, this white-stocking-clad lolita actually had silver eyes and silver bangs…

These were unmistakably Silver Dragon traits.

In the Dragon Kingdom, weren’t the Silver Dragons currently only the Dragon Royal Family?

Since she was addressed as “Your Highness,” there was only one possibility.

The Northern Rebellion Army leader already had an idea.

“If I’m not mistaken, this Silver Dragon lady is the Silver Dragon Princess, correct?”

“…”

“Our Northern Rebellion Army’s luck is truly good. Originally, we just intended to plunder the Northern Mining Field’s supplies. Never expected we’d encounter the Silver Dragon Princess. Heaven is truly helping us!”

The Northern Rebellion Army leader was quite surprised.

The other Northern Rebellion Army members, upon hearing Xia Yi’s title, each became agitated. The gazes they directed at Xia Yi were clearly filled with intense hatred.

“It’s actually the despicable Dragon Royal Family!!”

“Our downfall to this state is all the Dragon Royal Family’s fault! It’s the Dragon Royal Family’s oppression that has made us suffer so much!!”

“Kill the Silver Dragon Princess! Attack the Northern Royal Capital! Overthrow the Dragon Royal Family!! We want freedom!!”

The Northern Rebellion Army leader raised his hand, signaling his subordinates not to act impulsively for the moment.

He still possessed considerable deterrent power. The Northern Rebellion Army was temporarily subdued.

“Nice to meet you, Silver Dragon Princess. As you can see, this Northern Rebellion Army is temporarily under my leadership.”

The Northern Rebellion Army leader introduced himself. The etiquette he used was actually quite standard, reminiscent of nobility.

“You don’t seem like you were common folk before,” Xia Yi said.

“Yes, I was once a noble. However, due to persecution by your Dragon Royal Family, I was exiled to the Far North,” the Northern Rebellion Army leader said with a smile. “But that’s all in my past. Now, I am fighting for the freedom of our Northern Rebellion Army, resisting your oppression.”

“Northern Rebellion Army, what is that?” Xia Yi was very puzzled.

“Silver Dragon Princess, you actually don’t know?”

“… This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

Xia Yi glanced at the dragons beside her. The Northern Mining Field dragons all averted their eyes guiltily, lowering their heads.

No one had told her about this.

“It seems the Northern Mining Field has concealed quite a lot from the Dragon Royal Family, even hiding such a major upheaval.”

Seeing the reactions of the Northern Mining Field dragons, the Northern Rebellion Army leader couldn’t help but curl the corners of his mouth upward.

“Then, Silver Dragon Princess, allow us to tell you what has happened on this land…”
