"Dad, I'm so cold."

"Hold on a little longer, Sant, Lord Valkyrie and her Flame Apostles will soon come to our rescue. They will help us destroy the monsters outside the town and give us warm food and warm clothes. ”

In a town covered in snow and ice, a father and son hunched their shoulders against the little charcoal that burned out in the fireplace.

"But Lord Valkyrie...... Will she really come? ”

The boy raised his head suspiciously, "I heard Uncle Borg next door say yesterday that she is actually putting on a show, doing this to buy the hearts of the people, she lives in a super super big palace, eats delicious food that we can't imagine, she actually doesn't care about the lives of us at all......"

"Sant, don't listen to his nonsense, he is just jealous that Lord Valkyrie is better off than him, and thinks that Lord Valkyrie should be covered in slush and embarrassment, dusty and dusty, with scars and traces left on her body after the battle, as if this can prove her selfless greatness, Lord Valkyrie has saved so many people, doesn't she deserve to have a palace?"

The father hugged the child and said with relief:

"Don't think about it, all we have to do now is to have hope in our hearts, try to survive tenaciously, and wait for the day when the Valkyrie and her apostles will arrive."

"Well, I see, Dad. Wait, Dad, listen! ”

The boy's eyes widened in horror suddenly, "That voice...... It's Warcraft! The Monster has rushed in! Daddy, run! ”

Syllable.

What little charcoal was left was extinguished.

The bloodless and ruthless Ice and Snow Monsters brutally slaughtered all the creatures in this town.

"Dad, why did the monster storm into the town, Lord Valkyrie...... Not here yet? ”

"Daddy, Uncle Borg, Aunt Susan, and ...... You, why did everyone die, she ...... Still didn't come? ”

"Hope...... Await...... Haha, it's a joke. ”

"Dad, I'm here to accompany you...... Daddy......"

The boy was expressionless, and the walking dead walked through the town that had collapsed into ruins.

His expression was numb, his eyes were cold, and although he was still alive, he was completely dead.

Wielding razor-sharp and brutal claws, the beast tore the body of the last survivor of the town to shreds.

On this day, it was the day when the Northland once again had a heavy snowfall.

Countless civilians in the Northland died in the cold blizzard, under the brutal slaughter of countless ice and snow monsters.

Theresia is alone and lacks skills, even with the embers and other psionics recruited from the Zero Group, the Northland is so big, they can't save everyone.

This catastrophe heralded the imminent recovery of the Ice King, and the catastrophe caused more lives to be lost.

This disaster not only highlights the strength and terrifyingness of the Ice King from the side to everyone in the Northlands, but also sets off the powerlessness and weakness of Theresia in the face of such disasters.

She is a burning flame, a blazing fire, a light that brings hope, but she can't even do it perfectly.

The Ice King has not fully awakened, and you seem so stretched, you ...... Can you really defeat the Ice King and melt the snow that envelops the Northlands?

When faith is lost, the contradictions are magnified.

There are more and more whispers about the Valkyrie, and the rumors and undercurrents are becoming more and more widespread.

You don't forget to enjoy fighting on the front line, living in a big palace, arrogant and extravagant, do you know that many of us don't have enough food and clothing, and live a precarious life?

Who knows if you are using this to establish your prestige, suppress the opposition, and make a lot of money, using the excuse of crusading against the Ice King to gather all the psionics in the Northland under your command and create an interest group?

You are so powerful, and your elite soldiers are like clouds, but there are still so many places that have been affected by disasters, so many people in the north have died innocently, I don't believe that you really can't save them, it must be that you are busy enjoying the beauty of power there while everyone is suffering, and you are too lazy to put on a show, right?

Some of the gossip was so bad that even Xia Ming couldn't bear to listen to it, but Theresia didn't care about it, and there was no anger or anger on her face.

"I have already said that I will fully cooperate with my actions, and there will be no slightest act of stealing and slippery, but those wastes still allow such rumors to disturb the morale of the army to spread widely in the Northland."

Theresia slowly put down her knife and fork and swallowed a small piece of steak in her mouth, a sneer rising at the corner of her mouth.

"After all this time, my brother and Luger should have helped me select a successor from the company who can take over the waste."

She elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue and tossed the confetti into the trash.

"Then these non-recyclable wastes should also be burned by the flames."

Burst.

A fire erupted out of thin air on the paper ball that fell into the trash can, which was quickly burned to ashes.

Inside City Four.

Bang bang bang!

The executives of various departments and the heads of various subsidiaries of the Zero S Group suddenly widened in horror and exploded on the spot like fireworks.

The red flames bloomed and burned, devouring their ugly bodies and sinful souls.

Theresia sends a message to Ted and Ruger.

"I don't want such rumors to disturb the morale of the military in the future."

Large-scale arrests and punishments were vigorously staged in City No. 4 and quickly spread throughout the snowfield.

Theresia gave a death order to severely punish those who spread rumors and rumors.

In such a special time of panic, she didn't want someone to hold her back.

Even if it wasn't for herself, for the sake of the warriors and soldiers who fought with her, she couldn't let them be slandered.

Her methods were too rough, but she didn't care at all.

She suddenly felt that what Rose said before was very right, in this world with spiritual energy, the strength and power of the superior no longer come from the people at the bottom, but from their own transcendence and strength.

It is the vast number of civilians who rely on them to survive in this troubled world, not because they rely on exploitation and plundering of these civilians to forge a strong self.

In that case, what will these civilians think and think, and what does it have to do with her?

She didn't care at all.

She became more and more egoistic and indifferent, and in the eyes of the followers around her, in the eyes of the soldiers fighting on the front line, she was still that bright and blazing flame.

Even if some of the ways and means of dealing with things are a little excessive, it must be because she is too young and not tactful enough.

And this kind of sharpness, this innate domineering, isn't it more attractive for people to involuntarily want to follow?

Theresia doesn't care about all the reactions from the outside world now, she now has only one goal in her heart, and only one thing she has in mind.

Kill the Ice King, end your fate, free yourself from this so-called responsibility and mission, and live a happy and simple life with Xia Ming and your family.

For this reason, everything that dares to stand in her way and stand in her way, she will completely sweep it away with the sword and fire in her hand.
