Man on the ark, forced to become king

Then let her come.

Talulah's eyes hardened, and she gave the order in an unquestionable tone, rushing past the Yeti at the door and out.

"Which direction are they in?"

“Tallulah…”

Alina wrapped her coat tighter and followed, wanting to tell Talulah not to go, but the words wouldn't come out.

"I'll go with you. The Yeti team, assemble and notify everyone to evacuate."

Yelena also came out and stood next to Talulah.

"Big sister, that's—"

"I know, but to survive, I have to do it. It's an order!"

After Borocaster's departure, Frostnova became the joint commander of the Shieldbearers and Yetis, and her words truly carried the weight of orders.

The Yeti responsible for delivering the message was very resistant, knowing what would happen if he faced a battalion of regular soldiers.

"On my command, go now!"

"They're to the north."

In the end, the Yeti gave in. He knew that his eldest sister's decision was final. At worst, they would go to help after waking everyone up!

"Don't worry, Alina, I'll be back. We'll move with the team and come back to find you."

Leaving behind a word of comfort, Talulah's eyes burned with fire. Without saying anything more, she rushed out of the village.

If she could stop that army sooner, the others would have a better chance to evacuate. She couldn't afford to waste any more time here.

"Yelena, are you confident?"

Two figures, one in red and one in white, sped across the snow. Perhaps a little nervous, Talulah couldn't help but strike up a conversation with Yelena.

"Yes, I have the confidence to die there."

"Oh, when did you start telling corny jokes..."

“I’m not joking.”

Yelena was covered in a layer of gray-black frost, and the power of the ice propelled her forward at a rapid pace through the snow. Only in this way could she keep up with Talulah's pace.

After that battle, Talulah recovered and became even stronger. Her body was like a monster, capable of unleashing incredible speed and power with just her physical body.

It has to be admitted that she can no longer defeat Talulah.

However, that force was not enough to fight against a battalion of regular troops.

They are still flesh and blood after all, and the heavy firepower of an army group is incomparable to that of a patrol team.

"It's almost impossible for the two of us to come back alive unless a miracle happens."

"Why don't you go back? I'll hold them off?"

"Impossible. One person can't stop the army's advance. Without anyone to cover you, you'll be torn to shreds by their artillery in a few minutes."

"Of course I have my own way."

As she ran, Talulah gripped the military knife hanging at her waist, which she had taken from the body of the dead guard. Her original greatsword had been completely melted by the violent power when Koschei took over her body, leaving only the hilt, which was naturally unusable.

"If I unleash my full power, I can cut through their formation in an instant, and maybe even destroy their armored vehicles. The snowfield is so vast, and I'm very fast. As long as I don't charge straight in, they won't be able to kill me in a short time."

Koschke's relentless pursuit of her potential took a heavy toll on her, and it took her several days to recover. However, it also accelerated her growth, and she is now far stronger than before.

If we use the fiery sword that Kosiché used to cleave the earth, we might have a chance.

She didn't want Yelena to die here with her. Yelena still had to go to Chernobog to find her father. How could she be buried in this cold snowfield?

"Don't even think about leaving me, you simply can't!"

Yelena refused without even thinking, then realized something was wrong.

"Wait, Talulah, this direction—"

Bang!

Before she could react, a powerful chop to the back of her neck struck her. Yelena, who was moving at high speed, suddenly felt dizzy and lost consciousness, collapsing onto the snow.

"I'm sorry, Yelena, you shouldn't have stopped here."

Talulah drew her saber, swept it horizontally, and gathered a large patch of snow to bury Yelena beneath it. She spoke softly, leaving the snow monsters' unique markings on the snow.

She had long been prepared to sacrifice herself, and this time she came out with the awareness of facing death.

But Yelena is different from her; there are people waiting for her.

This direction is probably already off the army's route, or even if it isn't, she will lead the army in another direction later.

Given Yelena's physical condition, being buried in the snow for a while shouldn't cause any problems. By the time she wakes up, everything will be over, and that will be fine.

After taking one last look at the snow covering Yelena, Talulah no longer hid. Blazing flames rose from her body, and she transformed into a blurry afterimage, disappearing back into the darkness and leaving a long trail of fire across the snowfield.

My heart is burning, my blood is burning.

Draco's power surged within him, mixed with something unknown, which infused the burning flames with a hint of gold.

One kilometer, two kilometers, a continuous stream of vitality emerged from within, replenishing the energy consumed. Before I knew it, lights appeared in the distance, along with the roar of vehicle engines.

That's the goal.

As Talulah thought this, flames spread from her arm, converging towards the drawn saber.

Under the dead silence of a cold night, the convoy moved forward.

On the frigid snowfield, a raging fire is boiling.

Perhaps, this will be her final destination.

"let's start."

The light, airy voice drifted in the wind, as if it were speaking to itself.

He gripped his military knife tightly; the boiling flames illuminated a large expanse of snow and attracted the attention of the convoy.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Talulah's pace quickened, the snow melted, and a large mist swirled around her.

As the convoy gradually slowed down, she raised her saber, flames flashing as it shot into the sky.

She already possessed the awareness to face death.

At this moment, she was fearless.

And... she doesn't want to stop here!

The red dragon's roar was swallowed by the erupting flames, and the endless flames instantly melted all the surrounding ice and snow. A crescent-shaped blade of fire detached from the saber, illuminating the sky, and slashed toward the convoy that was about to stop with unparalleled power.

Chapter 117 I'm in a good mood, you guys are just unlucky

The blazing fire ignited the dim sky, and the burning blades plunged into the ground, carving a narrow black line across the snow, hurtling towards the already stopped convoy from the front.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The alarm sounded, and well-trained soldiers jumped off the vehicles at top speed. The mages reacted immediately, unleashing countless magical missiles in the shortest amount of time to collide with the vertically slashing blade.

They are very experienced in dealing with such large-scale magical attacks.

The first thing to do is to disperse the formation into small groups and then use saturation spell bombardment to hit the enemy's spell core.

The most basic attack, spell missiles, doesn't consume much energy. As long as a small portion of it hits the spell's core, the spell will disintegrate.

This tactic also works on the current arc of flames. After all, that thing is also a physical entity made of energy, and it can be detonated in advance in a simple and brutal way.

However, Talulah's attack, which ignited her bloodline, undoubtedly exceeded the scope of ordinary spells. The technique she stole from Koschei confined the raging flames to a small space, directly destroying the incoming spell.

Therefore, Talulah's powerful strike still managed to cut into the convoy, sweeping across the vehicles and detonating them, before crashing directly into the first armored vehicle in the middle of the convoy. The suppressed, berserk power erupted instantly, turning the surrounding area of ​​dozens of meters into a sea of ​​fire.

This single strike destroyed three transport vehicles and an armored vehicle in the convoy, as well as more than a dozen soldiers who were unable to dodge in time. The resulting violent explosion spread in a ring, injuring dozens of people.

Draco's power was on full display at this moment.

If Talulah could fully control this power, she could easily destroy the team and wipe them out before they could use heavy firepower.

Only those who reach that level are qualified to serve as frontline generals.

Unfortunately, she can't yet.

Even with the help of Kosichek, which allowed her to use the attack earlier, this strike nearly drained Talulah of 80% of her strength, making even gathering energy difficult.

However, such consumption was already expected.

Taking a deep breath, the dragon girl, her body wreathed in flames, unleashed her full power, instantly closing in on the scattered squad of soldiers. She raised her saber and brought it down with a deafening roar, accompanied by raging flames.

She wasn't a mage like Yelena who excelled at ranged attacks; each long-range attack was a considerable burden for her. Therefore, it would be unwise for her to strike and retreat, jumping to a distance to engage the army.

Once the distance is created, the army's heavy firepower and the sorcerer's combined spellcasting are stronger than hers.

Therefore, she had to make use of her strengths—her physique.

Drak's bloodline and the blessing of the Golden Tree gave her a body far stronger than ordinary people, far beyond the resistance of ordinary soldiers. The sabers used by the inner guards were also the most advanced weapons in the empire. Every strike of the sharp blade could easily tear through the not-so-thick defenses of ordinary soldiers and cut through flesh.

Even if we can't kill them, we can make them lose their fighting ability for a short time, and that will be enough.
