Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 174 Freezing Everything, Kyurem's True Power!
The war in the United States has broken out in full force.

The two princes of the Kingdom of Eindooc officially began their battle along the Flying Cloud Plains, with countless humans and Pokémon answering the call to arms.

The kingdom's southern border is bordered by the sea, and its terrain is mainly plains. Its advantageous geographical location and abundant resources have made the army of the eldest prince, Lando, strong and its subordinates full of talented people.

Faced with the Second Prince's army, the Eldest Prince Lando chose to wage war on multiple fronts.

The flames of war quickly engulfed the entire kingdom. Wherever the iron hooves of 200,000 troops passed, countless villages and forests were affected and disappeared from the map.

Despite being outnumbered by human soldiers, the second prince Lance made up for the large army of Lando with the magical beasts that followed him.

To end all this, countless magical beasts formed a powerful army to fight against the enemy.

Watching this scene, the second prince, Lance, became even more convinced that the path he was pursuing was the right one.

Compared to these kind-hearted, simple-minded magical beasts, the humans who enslave them are so hypocritical and shameless...

Seven Treasures Territory, war is imminent, and an army under Lance's command is stationed here.

This is a small legion of about 20,000 people. They received orders that the eldest prince's legion was about to attack Qibao City, and they were responsible for staying here to defend the city.

"My lord, according to the scouts, the enemy's total strength is estimated to be over 50,000! That's more than twice ours! I'm afraid we won't be able to hold this castle!"

On the city wall, a tall and imposing middle-aged man gazed solemnly at the desolate scene in the distance.

Hearing his subordinate's words, he asked, "Haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"

Just as the subordinate was about to answer, he heard a voice from behind him.

"My lord, reinforcements have arrived! This is a letter from Prince Lance!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the people around them immediately lit up with surprise.

The man opened the letter, but when he saw its contents, he froze on the spot.

His Highness has sent a monster legion of approximately 20,000. In his letter, His Highness stated that no one is allowed to harm these monsters, and anyone who disobeys will be executed immediately.

This wouldn't have been a problem in itself, but what made the man even more resentful was that these magical beasts received better food and treatment than their soldiers every day.

Your Highness, what is this...?

Before he could think any further, another subordinate came to report that the enemy army had already reached the city gates.

The man had no time to think and immediately led his army out of the city to meet the enemy. The 20,000-strong army of magical beasts also joined the battle.

But under the enemy's relentless offensive, their soldiers began to show signs of defeat.

Upon seeing this, the man immediately ordered his soldiers to retreat and defend the castle.

Faced with their actions, the enemy did not pursue them, but instead adopted a siege tactic.

The two sides reached a stalemate.

At first, everyone thought it was nothing.

But gradually, their supplies from outside the city were cut off, and they ate less and less food.

In the end, the human soldiers' food was almost completely used up, but the monster legion still had a lot of food left.

The hungry soldiers stormed into the food warehouse and were astonished to find that the monsters' food was better than theirs in both quantity and variety!
At this moment, the human soldiers felt resentful because of the differential treatment they received, and soon the entire legion began to complain.

Flying Cloud City, military camp.

Countless armored monsters sat on the ground, their faces blank.

Behind them stood a large group of humans holding long whips.

Some magical beasts tried to resist, but what awaited them were sharp blades and slender vine whips.

"Hey, behave yourselves, if you don't want to die, you'd better fight well in the next battle!"

"You wouldn't want to see anything happen to your children and parents, would you?"

Upon hearing this, some of the magical beasts immediately showed expressions of anger. They opened their mouths, raised their sharp claws, and wanted to attack.

However, the next second, when they saw their loved ones crying in a cage not far away, their raised claws were forced to be lowered, and they let out mournful cries.

"Hmph, that's more like it! Cheer up! If we win the next battle, maybe I can reunite you and your son."

"Your Highness...aren't we being a little too cruel?"

Above the military camp, a minister, watching this scene, couldn't help but speak.

The eldest prince, Lando, had no expression on his face.

"Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. Don't forget, countless citizens of the kingdom lose their lives every year because of these magical beasts!"

"Humans and magical beasts are two completely different races that are destined to be incompatible. If we do not conquer them, then what awaits us is our deaths in their mouths!"

What these magical beasts are meant to do is act as the vanguard, to deplete the enemy's forces as much as possible.

This is the meaning and value of their existence.

*
The war raged on, and countless villages and forests were destroyed.

The refugees who lost their homes looked on in despair at their homes that had been reduced to ruins.

That was their home, painstakingly built and where they had lived for generations.

"Mommy, our home is gone, what are we going to do?" A little girl with a face covered in dust and red eyes held her mother's hand and looked at the ruins in front of her, and couldn't help but ask.

The woman sighed; war was raging throughout the kingdom.

The house was gone, the money was gone, and the harvested grain was looted.

The woman's face was filled with despair. She held her daughter's hand, unsure of where to go.

Where in this vast world can they find a home?
The mother and daughter began their aimless wandering with the large group of refugees.

They walked for a very long time, passing through village after village, city after city, and meeting people just like them.

Until one day, they heard some news.

"Prince Raven of Raven City said that he would take in refugees and provide us with asylum!"

Raven City... What kind of place is that?
A glimmer of hope appeared in the woman's eyes. If... if this were true, then they would be saved!

This large group of refugees began to move toward Raven City.

During this period, new refugees and monsters continued to join their ranks.

In the face of war, it seems that there is no difference between humans and monsters; everyone is a victim.

After an unknown amount of time, a magnificent castle finally appeared on the plain ahead.

Beneath that castle, a bustling and prosperous town was prominently located.

That place is the legendary Raven City!
The refugees were incredibly excited.

They excitedly ran towards the town, but when they arrived, they stopped and hesitated outside the town.

They encountered many towns along the way, but those places only drove away these refugees.

Just as the crowd was at a loss, the locals noticed their arrival.

After ascertaining their identities, they were quickly greeted by designated personnel who led them to a place used for resettling refugees and provided them with food and clean water.

"Don't worry, everything's alright now!" Qiao Yichun said gently, looking at the people in front of her.

Due to a shortage of manpower in Raven City, she was assigned here to receive these refugees who had lost their homes.

“There aren’t enough houses in the territory right now for everyone, but don’t worry, we’ll build houses for you soon. This is where we used to live. Please stay here for the time being!” Qiao Yichun said.

The refugees were already very happy to have food, drink, and shelter. They quickly expressed their gratitude.

However, faced with this scene, Qiao Yichun gently shook her head and said with a smile:

"No need to thank me. This was all at the behest of Prince Raven. He knew you would come here, so he had us prepare food and water in advance."

Prince Raven...

"Please convey our gratitude to His Highness!" The people were filled with gratitude for the prince they had never met.

Qiao Yichun smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely pass on the message for everyone. However, His Highness Raven is not in the territory right now, and it will probably take some time before he returns."

Not in the territory?

The refugees were stunned.

"Where did that gentleman go?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Qiao Yichun explained softly, "His Highness is doing something very important. He will be back when he's done, and then everyone will be able to see him."

"Will Prince Raven be in danger?" A little girl in the crowd couldn't help but ask.

There are wars going on everywhere right now, it's very dangerous outside!
Qiao Yichun couldn't help but pat the girl's head and wipe the dust off her face:
"His Highness is a very capable person, he will definitely be alright. If you are worried about him, pray for His Highness before you go to bed tonight!"

"Yes, I definitely will!" The girl nodded vigorously.

After settling the refugees, Qiao Yichun returned to the hospital.

"Is there still no news from Prince Raven?" she asked, looking at her sister.

Qiao Yilin shook her head.

Today marks the seventh day since His Highness left the territory.

Seven days ago, Prince Raven entrusted all affairs within his territory to His Majesty, and then rode away from the territory on his dragon trolley. Since then, there has been no news of him.

This filled Qiao Yichun and Qiao Yichun with worry.

If something happens to His Highness...

They couldn't imagine the outcome.

"Don't worry, His Highness will definitely be alright!" Qiao Yichun said, as if she were comforting her sister, and also as if she were comforting herself.

Inside the castle.

The old king looked at the letter in his hand, and couldn't help but show a shocked expression on his face.

Lianyi Town, Qinghai Bocheng, Black Collar, Longmu Village, and Huiyuan City.

In just seven days, these five regions had already submitted to them.

Regardless of whether the lords in these areas are truly subservient to Raven, nominally speaking, as of now, the entire eastern part of the kingdom has been taken over by them.

Raven... how did he do that?
“Your Majesty, His Highness is truly a young man of great talent!” Elif’s eyes were filled with surprise.

He was initially a little worried, but now it seems that his worries were really unnecessary!

"I wonder where that child is now..." the old king murmured to himself.

Meanwhile, in Shuanglong City.

Outside the castle, enemy troops were already at the gates.

Looking down at the dark mass of enemy troops on the plains below, Lord Sharon of Twin Dragons City wore a solemn expression.

"My lord, the enemy general is the most powerful man in the kingdom, General Worth!" Butler Crane's expression was very solemn.

General Wols, the strongest warrior in the Kingdom of Eindooc, once defeated several powerful magical beasts single-handedly.

"Hmph, Prince Lando really thinks highly of me! He actually sent him to attack my Twin Dragons City." Sharon sneered. "Fortunately, Prince Lance had made preparations beforehand. Crane, open the city gates—"

“Yes!” Kran replied.

He waved his hand, and the soldiers below slowly opened the city gate.

The next second, countless armored monsters rushed out of the city.

Emboar, Golduck, Centipede King, Magmar, Onix, Aggron, Krookodile, Heracross...

On the plains, General Worth rode a thunder zebra, wielding a greatsword, his gaze fixed on the army of monsters charging toward him from afar.

The next second, he raised his greatsword high and gave orders to the soldiers behind him.

"All troops, charge with me!"

With a deafening battle cry, the two massive, dark armies charged toward each other.

Just as the two sides were about to collide, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

The once clear sky suddenly turned gloomy, and a violent cold air mass suddenly rose up across the vast plain.

The next second, the charging soldiers were horrified to find that their bodies were covered in a layer of ice!
Before anyone could react, a wave of extreme cold swept through, instantly freezing the human soldiers and the army of monsters in place.

The whole world suddenly became quiet.

General Worth, positioned at the rear, and Sharon, atop the castle, stared at the frozen soldiers, both frozen in place.

"What...what's going on?!" Sharon exclaimed in surprise.

Worth frowned, as if he had noticed something, and suddenly looked up at the sky.

There, a huge figure was floating.

That appears to be a magical beast.

Its appearance is very similar to an ice-blue dragon, and it exudes an ancient and cold aura.

Those golden pupils were coldly surveying everything below.

General Worth's pupils contracted.

He suddenly noticed that a human was being carried on the back of the dragon!
That is……

The next second, the dragon moved.

It slowly descended from the sky, only stopping after reaching a certain altitude.

At this height, the group could clearly see the person's face.

That's... the kingdom's third prince, Raven?!
General Worth looked incredulous.

How can it be? !
On the castle, Sharon was equally shocked.

He'd seen that face before!

Just a few months ago, he visited the other party's territory and had a conversation with them!
"Lord Sharon, that looks like Prince Raven!" exclaimed the butler, Crane.

“That’s Prince Raven!” Sharon frowned.

At this moment, he was somewhat confused about the other party's intentions, but what shocked him even more was that the giant dragon possessed such terrifying power...

Just then, Sharon, Crane, and Worth on the plain all heard a voice at the same time.

The voice came from above, carrying an air of undeniable authority.

"Stop the war, submit to me, or—die."
