Chapter 2161: Elizabeth

After settling the two children, Mag and Irina went all the way up north again.

However, they didn’t cross over the Gus Mountains like they did previously.

Mag got Ah Zi to lower its flying altitude and flew over the three big ravines.

The numerous sappers were busy working in the ravine like ants. They needed to repair the two cliffsides to prevent the skeleton men from scaling up easily. They also needed to dig tunnels that were a few meters deep in the middle of the ravine.

There were also many magic casters that were engraving spell formations on the cliff walls and the ground right now.

These three ravines over 20 km long would be this battle’s meat grinder.

Mag had stationed a lot of troops at the two sides of the ravines. They wanted to kill and maim as many Army of the Dead as possible to lessen the pressure on the warriors guarding the ravine’s entrance.

“Although there are many sappers, their efficiency is too low. We need all the races to send their elites with special abilities here to help out,” Mag said with a frown. The engineer corps in the north’s legions could only do so much. They couldn’t satisfy his requirements.

“The Night Elves can join in the teams to engrave spell formations after they arrive. We have over 1000 magic casters,” Irina said.

“That’s not enough.” Mag pointed to the ice sheets in front of them. “If possible, I would like to kill as many of them as we can before they reach the Gus Mountains to lessen our losses.”

“Our time is limited.” Irina reminded him.

“I’m being greedy.” Mag retracted his gaze and made Ah Zi fly down.

The allied forces’s interim command was set up right in the center of the battle front, next to the center ravine. On a flat surface on top of a mountain, a few temporary great halls made up of ice were built.

The glistening ice sparkled in the sunlight, making the ice castle look magical.

The ice that remained frozen all year in the north was inexhaustible in supply and always available for use. It was the best building material.

They only need to engrave a few simple spell formations inside to insulate against the ice’s coldness and lessen the effect that the internal activities had on the ice.

The purple-striped griffin landed on the platform in front of the hall. After a moment of panic, the guards recognized Mag and quickly saluted him respectfully.

Mag leaped off the griffin and asked an officer who came up to him, “Is Marshal Dominic in the camp?”

“The marshal is in the camp. Please follow me, my Lord.” that officer said respectfully as he led the way for Mag and Irina in front.

There were no magnificent decorations in the ice great hall. It was separated into different zones just like the Ministry of Defense. The officials were busy handling the matters.

Currently, the allied forces hadn’t reached the front yet. The frontline basecamp was mostly made up of the empire’s army led by Dominic.

That officer led Mag and Irina to a meeting room deep within the great hall. There was also no extra decoration in the vast meeting room. The round table surrounded a huge scenario table which was a terrain replica of the Gus Mountains’ battlefront, including those three ravines.

Dominic was writing something at his desk. He stopped when he heard the commotion and got up to say to Mag, “You’re here.”

“Yes.” Mag nodded. Flicking a glance at the scenario table, Mag said to Dominic, “There are more difficulties at the battle front than what I have imagined.”

Dominic’s wrinkled face revealed a smile. If the sappers could hear this, they would feel very gratified.

Mag said to Dominic, “The engineer corps can’t accomplish their tasks within the short period of time. There are many things they can’t do. Get the magic casters from the Magus Tower to come to the front to assist immediately.”

“I also want to invite the Frost Dragons here to help repair the gaps at the Gus Mountains. There are a few gaps that are simply too big. The sappers and the magic casters aren’t able to fill them up in the short timeframe,” Dominic said.

“I will order all the races to come and assist us immediately. The work at the battle front is the crux of this battle. We have to complete it as soon as possible.” Mag nodded. He had already thought about that on his way here.

All the races were assembling their elites now, but it would take quite some time to move such a big military force here even if everything went smoothly on their way.

At this moment, Mag thought of the benefit of the large scale teleportation portal.

However, the cost to set up and use a teleportation portal was extremely high, let alone setting up a super-sized teleportation portal that could teleport over tens of thousands of people. None of the races in the Norland Continent could afford it right now.

However, the work at the front needed manpower who had special abilities, like powerful ice magic casters and powerhouses who had ice abilities to hasten up the repair of the gaps.

They also needed spell formation masters. Every spell formation added in the ravine could lessen the pressure on the warriors at the rear. Setting them up early had an extremely great advantage.

Dominic nodded. He had the same thought as Mag, just that his identity couldn’t allow him to mobilize all the races. It was naturally the best that Alex brought this up himself.

“Oh yes, there is something you might be interested in,” Dominic said, “Yesterday, a frost dragon came to the battle front and helped repair over 10 gaps. She also asked about the Army of the Dead. Then, she left early in the morning and entered the ice sheets.”

“Elizabeth?” Mag asked Dominic.

“From the front’s soldiers description, it most likely is her.” Dominic nodded.

Mag looked solemn and continued to ask, “Where is the exact location that she entered the ice sheets?”

“You want to go into the ice sheets to look for her?” Dominic looked at Mag with shock.

“She is very important.” Mag nodded and added, “Perhaps, she can become our trump card to deal with Rankster.”

After searching for so many days, this was the first time that Mag heard news about Elizabeth.

The bad news was she had entered the ice sheets and she went in the morning.

“I’ll get the soldiers who watched her leave in the morning to come here,” Dominic said.

“It’s fine. Just get someone to bring me over there. Things might be different if we change the location.” Mag shook his head.

“Alright.” Dominic called his adjutant over and asked him to bring Mag and Irina to meet the soldiers who saw Elizabeth.

Irina followed Mag with a solemn expression too. There was danger everywhere in the ice sheets. Be it Cthulhu or Josh, they were all extremely dangerous.

Moreover, even if she found Rankster, he had already lost his rationale and was an even more dangerous being.

Soon, Mag met the engineer corps that bumped into the frost dragon.

From their description, Mag could basically ascertain that it was Elizabeth who had been missing for a long time.

A tall and lean sapper pointed at the white ice sheets and said, “My lord, she flew towards that direction. I’m very sure of that.”

“Before she left, did she mention where she was going?” Mag asked.

“No. She seldom talked. She only asked about the Army of the Dead, but we knew nothing about it, so we didn’t tell her anything.” That soldier shook his head.

“Alright.” Mag nodded and turned around to say to the adjutant who had brought them here, “Tell the marshal that I need to go into the ice sheets. He will have to write the letter.”
