Scarlet Cross! It is an ancient tradition that originated in the North, and was rarely used by the Southern aristocracy, as the Southern Wizarding League considered it too bloody and cruel to be civilized.

At least on the surface.

But Marven knows that the current White River Valley is on the cusp.

If the White River Valley is compared to a ship, it will be greeted by strong winds and waves.

Whether to ride the wind and waves, or sink into the sand, the key depends on this battle.

He knew that since the Wild Frontier Order was issued, the small place of the White River Valley could no longer keep a low profile.

Referring to Marven's previous appearances, his legend has soared.

At least on the East Coast, and even in the rest of the South, Baron Marvin is already the hottest figure this summer.

There are countless rumors about Marven.

Being well-known doesn't always bring benefits.

The rise of the White River Valley will definitely cause many people to be jealous.

The only thing that made Marven feel relieved was that the location of the White River Valley was too remote, unlike the inland territory, which was adjacent to the territory of the Southern Wizarding Alliance.

Near the White River Valley, there is only the riverbank town of Medirli.

Jewel Bay, on the other hand, did not belong to any private aristocracy.

It is the eastern base of the Southern Wizarding Alliance, which is directly owned by the Council.

The Three Ring Towers are different, although these three towers are nominally an alliance, but in fact, their respective territories are still clearly divided.

That's the benefit of being in a remote area.

At least until it is developed.

There is no need to be suppressed by surrounding forces.

As this is the case, the attention and pressure on the White River Valley is also unprecedentedly great.

After all, this is a relatively backward territory.

From the inhabitants of the territory, to the garrison.

To Marvin himself, he was not prepared accordingly.

The White River Valley itself cannot withstand such pressure.

Fortunately, Marven has many friends.

And after all kinds of adventures, he was supported by various forces.

But that's someone else's power after all.

Before he got the Dark Guardian today, he was actually unstable in his heart.

There will always be times when the strength of others is unreliable.

Only one's own strength is the most real.

…… This group of adventurers.

It is impossible not to have carefully read the provisions previously issued by Marven.

But they did it anyway.

This means that there are many people who have malicious intentions towards Marven in the White River Valley.

These people were hired by the enemy to disrupt order in the White River Valley.

And in this war.

Marvin can't allow any bad cuò to happen.

So he was ruthless.

Extraordinary moments require extraordinary measures.

Even if he has a reputation for brutality, Marven will not hesitate to do it!

So no matter how Drew persuaded him, Marven finally erected the blood-colored cross!

Just a mile outside of the spider crypt.

As soon as the adventurers who came from Gem Bay came out of the spider crypt, they could see this terrifying and conspicuous cross for the first time!

The cross was five or six meters high, and it was covered with the heads of those adventurers.

Under the cross, there was a headless corpse.

There is a wooden sign standing next to it, which reads the cause of the adventurers' death - not obeying the order of the territory, trespassing into the pumpkin field and destroying it.

This crime, no matter what country it is, is a bit reluctant.

But now in the White River Valley, Marven's thunderous means.

It is the best way to consolidate the rule.

He had Drew send two clever guys to garrison the area, responsible for registering and reporting adventurers entering the White River Valley.

Each adventurer will be given a numbered plaque.

Adventurers who do not have a numbered plate will be expelled by the garrison.

If there is anyone who resists, kill!

Of course, the members of the garrison will not be able to accomplish such a task.

The Executor is a Dark Guardian standing behind them.

His name was XVIII.

He will be stationed here and become the force behind the members of the garrison.

That's right, nineteen Dark Guards.

They don't have names of their own.

Marven simply numbered them.

The boss is Zero, in order.

All the way to [eighteen].

The Dark Guardians have no objection to this, which makes it easier for Marven to direct their actions.

…… After the Scarlet Cross was established, it caused a stir in the territory.

The adventurers who had not yet evacuated the river beach were terrified, and many of them were secretly spreading Marven's ferocity.

More people, quietly packing their bags, fled the White River Valley.

And the news quickly reached the front line where a temporary camp was being built.

For the adventurers, they didn't react much.

First of all, this group of adventurers in the temporary camp was personally recruited by Marven, all second-order masters.

Their su zhì is higher, and some are even veterans who have been discharged from the army, and they know what must be done during the war.

In addition, they also hope that in the upcoming war, there will be no infighting among their own people.

After all, they are facing a terrifying ogre!

This race has always been known for its bravery and war.

Marven's actions made them more relieved.

In any case, under Marven's orders, preparations for war were carried out in an orderly manner.

A large number of adventurers have basically moved to the makeshift camp.

Some of them built their own camps, while others joined in the repair of the main camp, and they were in full swing.

The logistics team is also frantically busy, constantly delivering the most important water and food to the front.

Under Anna's command and dispatch, all of them were tense and orderly.

…… In the evening, in the conference room.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"I went to take care of something."

Marven sat in his chair and apologized to the polite Oron and the unhappy Daniela.

"It doesn't matter."

Oren spoke first.

It seems that in this convoy.

The knight chief has a higher status than the mistress Daniela.

The two took their seats one after another.

"Presumably the two of you already know from Anna what happened in the White River Valley some time ago, right?"

Marven looked at the two of them and got straight to the point: "That woman." Also calling herself my fiancée. ”

Daniela snorted coldly, "That's someone from the Twin Snakes Sect. On the way south, they attacked us. At the same time, they seem to be close to the lords of certain territories, and we have to go on a different route. ”

"It took us a lot longer to get to the White River Valley."

"Someone dares to pretend to be me, when I see her, I will kill her!"

Marven was silent.

Is this cousin thinking things too simple?

He couldn't help but tap the table with his index finger: "Bamboo's strength is very strong. Although there is no legend, but the strength of the quasi-legend. Coupled with the divine power given to her by the Azure Patriarch, ordinary people can't kill her. ”

"But now she's not a problem, she's dead."

Who knew that Daniela suddenly smiled weirdly, "Really? ”

The next second, she suddenly clasped her hands.

Then splay open.

A snowflake descends from the sky and eventually turns into a mirror of ice and snow.

In the mirror, there is a pool of hot springs.

Looking at the background, it seems to be in a cave.

"What is this?"

Marven was a little surprised.

Daniela, this woman, can actually spell?

I used the reconnaissance skill before, and I didn't perceive that the other party had a combat class!

Could it be that this guy is much better than himself?

Unlikely, right?

Marven's heart sank, and he began to re-examine his cousin.

It's just that as soon as his attention shifted, in the mirror formed by the cold ice, a bumpy shadow suddenly emerged from the hot spring!

Her hair hung down.

The hands are spread out, revealing a fair body.

Just by looking at it, Marven frowned: "Impossible!" ”

Who knows at this time.

The woman looked up suddenly, as if she had realized something!

Smack!

The mirror is broken.

"Damn woman, just pretend to be me, and you don't even allow me to peep!"

Daniela said it rightly, Marven was speechless.

It's just that the shock in his heart hasn't disappeared - the woman in the mirror is a bamboo!

Isn't she dead?

"Isn't it surprised?"

Daniela sneered and said, "The elect of the Azure Patriarch. Where is so easy to kill. ”

"She, like her master, has the ability to come back from the dead. You'll have to kill her at least three times before she's completely dead! ”

Three times?

Marven's brows furrowed even tighter.

Bamboo is not dead, which is unprecedented bad news for him.

Even if there is Konstantin in the territory, with the ability of bamboo, it completely causes quite terrifying destructive power.

Especially during the war, God knows what will happen to her!

"Are you worried about her?"

Daniela looked at Marven with a smile: "My dear brother, although I really don't like you very much, I hate the woman who is pretending to be me even more. ”

"I just said that as soon as she shows up, I'll kill her!"

Oren nodded: "Since Miss said so, then she will definitely do what she says." Lord Marven, although our young lady is sometimes a little rude and willful and unreasonable, she has at least one advantage, that is, she does what she says. ”

"Knight of Oron!"

Daniela said angrily, "Who is rude and willful? ”

Oren said solemnly: "Miss, before the master went out, I was instructed to tell Lord Marven about you. ”

"Only when he understands everything about you and is willing to marry you, will do that. Otherwise, we can't force him to marry you. The Creeland family has no such thing as forced marriage. ”

Daniela finally went berserk: "Oren, I don't want to hear you for an hour!" ”

Before Oren could speak, Daniela suddenly opened her hand, and a terrifying cold air bloomed from her palm, and poor Oren was suddenly frozen into an ice sculpture!

Marven gasped.

Such strength...... It can't be a legend, right?

Daniela seemed to be pleased with Marven's expression, she raised her head arrogantly and looked at Marven: "The side spell of the ice and snow form, not bad, right?" ”

"After a while, when I am promoted to Legendary, the Ice and Snow Form will transform into the [Ice Angel Form], and then I can even turn the entire continent into winter!"

Marven listened to Daniela's narration, and a famous term in his previous life suddenly appeared in his mind.

"The Ice Empress?"

"The Ice Empress?"

Daniela seems to have heard the term for the first time: "I love the name. Heck, I decided that this would be my prestige from now on! ”
