Angele stood by the cliff and looked at the ray quietly.
"Master, it's almost done. What… are you looking at?" A young girl's voice came from behind.
Angele turned his head around and saw a young girl with clean skin standing behind him. The girl had long black hair and there was a bronze armor under her black robe.
"Did the elder council set up that ray of light?" Angele responded in a light voice.
"Yeah, that's the Elemental Light and it helps to buff the signal towers. Also, the ray could identify the creatures who are not members of our organization," the girl explained. "The elders are still trying to figure out a complete defensive plan."
"You know a lot." Angele turned his head back and looked at the far side again.
"I work for the intelligence department of the organization, that's' why I know a bit more."
The girl straightened her back slightly but she noticed that the man was no longer interested in her and her brow furrowed.
"Alright, you can go back now," Angele spoke calmly. "Focus on your job. Don't waste your time on random things."
The smile disappeared from the girl's face. She hesitated for a second and bowed to Angele. The girl did not say anything else, she turned around and returned to the rune circle.
Angele shook his head and smiled.
He knew that Vivian was trying to help him get married but he did not expect the girl to just approach him like that.
The girl was a wizard. He was certain that the girl was confident in her power level and appearance.
The girl was a rank 1 wizard and she made herself look like a naive girl. She thought Angele preferred girls like that. Angele could have fun with her but he did not want to marry a girl like that.
Most of the female wizards would have intercourse with anyone they liked and Angele had no intention to marry such a female wizard. Things would get complicated if he failed to make a wise decision.
A purple glow suddenly appeared on Angele's finger.
Raising his left hand, he rubbed the purple ring on his finger. The new information collected by Dark Wizard Tower was transferred to him.
'Elephant Legion is ready.'
'Modified Beast Legion is ready.'
'Puppet Knight Legion and Wood Dragon Legion are ready.'
The voices kept echoing in his ears. They sounded deep, cold, and serious.
'The Dimensional Gate and the energy are both prepared. We're awaiting your order.'
'Intel system has been blocked.'
"Purple Eye, how's your situation?" The Count's voice came from the ring.
With a flick of his finger, Angele created a thin red barrier that blocked all the sound.
"I'm ready to join the battle but I heard that the Duke prepared a special team and they already entered the battlefield, right?"
"You're right. It's a secret mission and they entered the realm several days ago. The result will be out soon," the Count confirmed. "The Duke sent three captains here. You and I are in charge of the Tarry River area and the Molten River area. The central area is controlled by two of the captains and the other one is in charge of dealing with emergencies."
"Who was the Grand Lich the Duke talked about?" Angele lowered his voice.
"The Grand Lich is one of the five most important members in the Dark Wizard Tower. The Duke is the fourth most important member. Alright, we don't need to worry about those things, let's just focus on our plan. Here is a code that you'll need when you contact the captains. The public message system will be turned off soon…" A long incantation came from the ring after the Count finished the word. There were more than 100 runes in the incantation.
Angele recorded the code using the biochip. He did not want to memorize it by himself.
"We just need to wait for the order. That's what the Duke told me."
"I understand."
Angele rubbed the surface of the ring and stopped on the cliff without saying a word.
Minutes later, he turned around and walked to the ruin.
Before he reached the volcano, a quick message from the ring stopped him from moving.
'The assassination succeeded and we've confirmed that the Shadow Lord was eliminated. Please start the next step now.'
'The Shadow Lord?!' Angele was surprised and confused.
'Open the Dimension Gate! Legions, prepare for the teleportation! Purple Eye and Count Wheat, wait for my order,' the Duke ordered. 'Special team, teleport now!"
The earth started shaking and there was something vibrating in the air.
Angele suddenly turned his head around and looked at the sky.
Tiny yellow dots slowly appeared in the white sky.
The tiny dots expanded like balloons. They looked like yellow toy bears, they were furry and cute. The toy bears blinked their eyes, smiling.
The toy bears were getting larger and larger. It felt like their bodies were full of air and they were rotating in the strong wind.
Angele noticed that the toy bears had sharp claws and there was a hint of blood on them.
The floating toy bears looked innocent with their cute appearance but Angele could smell the blood in the air.
Angele checked the information he acquired from the Dark Wizard Tower and recalled the name of the special operation team.
'Alice's Toy Box… What a surprise…' Angele's expression turned serious as he looked at the toy bears in the sky.
Large groups of yellow toy bears moved to the Elemental Hand. At first, there were only about ten bears, but more and more toy bears appeared. They almost covered the whole sky.
It felt like the place turned into a wonderland.
*WOO WOO*
The intense alarm echoed in the sky above the Elemental Head.
Groups of white owls and eagles appeared on an empty ground in the forest. The wizards and apprentices jumped on the flying mounts one by one.
"Hurry! Move!" The wizards were shouting.
The flying mounts charged toward the toy bears. Colorful energy barriers appeared around their bodies and they looked like colorful bubbles that were floating in the sky.
The whole scene looked like it was from a fairy tale.
A large airship that looked like an air balloon also appeared in the sky. The elders and the important members of the Elemental Hand were all on the ship—including Vivian; they were staring at the battlefield in the sky.
Angele looked at Vivian, he knew how strong the Alice's Toy Box was. He wanted to make sure that Elemental Hand would treat the war seriously, because the Dark Wizard Tower was so strong that the Elemental Hand had no way to fight back. The war just started and the Elemental Hand would have to face the terrifying situation and suffer a loss. If Angele used his right and brought peace to the Elemental Hand, the members of Elemental Head would not understand how cruel the realm war was.
The wizards and apprentices who were building the rune circle quickly walked to the cliff, staring at the sky.
"What are those toy bears…?"
"Is it the alliance again? We just signed the agreement! Those bears might be their secret weapon," a male wizard spoke.
Angele pressed on the purple ring and sent a message.
"I noticed that the Alice's Toy Box is attacking the Elemental Hand. Who's the commander?"
Angele sent the message in the public channel; the legion commanders probably disabled the public channel, but the team commanders could still access it.
Seconds later, a voice that sounded like a child replied. Angele was not sure if it was a boy or a girl.
"I'm Brandy and I'm the commander of the toy box. The soldiers are released and there's nothing I can do now."
"When will they return to you?" Angele went straight to the point.
"Hmm… I'm not sure… Ha… Bring them more food and they'll come back to me after they're filled up," Brandy spoke in a high-pitched tone.
"Filled up? What do you mean?" Angele narrowed his eyes.
He noticed that one of the toy bears already had the size of ten white owls. It looked an adult standing beside a lot of children when compared to the wizards.
The bear grabbed a large owl and threw it into the mouth along with the wizard. The wizard and the owl were bitten in half.
Their blood and organs dropped to the ground. Angele watched a broken arm rolling on the grass.
The energy barriers around the wizards' bodies were like soap bubbles. They could not handle the damage.
*CHI*
The stomach of the toy bear cracked. The black robe who was swallowed by the bear was still alive, he slashed the bear's stomach open and tried to escape. An intense purple glow coated the wizard's body and his wounds were recovering fast. It seemed like the wizard had already activated his trump card.
The bear lowered its head and looked at its broken stomach. The bear slowly slapped the opening using its right claw.
*PA*
The wizard was slapped back into the stomach and the opening quickly disappeared. At that moment, several large light missiles hit the toy bear's head.
*BOOM*
The toy bear exploded and broke into pieces. The cotton, clothes, dried organs, and dried flesh in the bear's body were soaked in blood. It felt like blood was raining down the sky. The black robe inside the bear was killed by the explosion.
The wizards on the backs of the owls passed by and charged to the next toy bear.
Angele stood on the cliff and his expression turned serious as he watched the sky turn into a bloody battlefield.
