Frost Scourge!

Upon seeing that the newcomer was Lang Li Bai Tiao,"Steamed Bun disregarded official rank and launched into a merciless mockery.

After all, the beastly behavior of the Lang Li Bai Tiao who abandoned his benefactor and ran away during that mission at Lachmann Castle was deeply etched in his mind and could not be forgotten.

"Oh, isn't this our Grand Eunuch of the Eastern Depot Lang Li Bai Tiao Eastern Depot?"

"Should I still call you... the Vampire's favorite concubine?"

"Why are you always staying in some dark corner? Come out and get some sun."

These words undoubtedly struck a nerve with Lang Li Bai Tiao, dealing him a heavy blow and making him furious.

The phrase "Vampire's favorite concubine" in particular broke his defenses.

Even now, the post "The Unspeakable Thirty Seconds of the Old Vampire and the Lang Chu" remains extremely popular on the forum, with busybodies checking in from time to time. It has already reached tens of thousands of posts, becoming a scenic spot on the forum.

Lang Li Bai Tiao sneered, "Hmph, I think you're just jealous of my high rank and strength. My Vampire template is at least a mini-boss level. Even if three of you came at me together, you probably couldn't beat me."

"How about we try leaving the city?"

"Let's bet three hundred Gold Coin, Lang Chu. Today it's either you or me who lives."

Steamed Bun patted the side of the neck of the Wyvern beneath him, and the "Noodles" immediately understood, glaring angrily at the Lang Li Bai Tiao, baring its teeth and letting out a low, hoarse roar.

Startled, Lang Li Bai Tiao took a few steps back and quickly said:

"Don't come any closer! I'm telling you, fighting in the city is illegal, and I'll blow your brains out."

"I'm usually very busy, I'm not here to chat with you, it's because Single has something important to discuss with you."

Steamed Bun then patted the back of Wyvern's neck to calm it down.

"What's up?"

"You'll see when you get there; it's at the Red Scale Garrison."

"Okay, don't try to fool me, or I'll smash your dog head in."

"Tch, it's hard to say who will win."

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

"Damn it, don't let that stinky lizard bite me! I'm sorry, okay?"

Northwest city of North Wind Fortress, Red Scale Garrison.

This is a rather large building located on the edge of the city. It was newly built after the Embers of the Burned Kingdom took over North Wind Fortress. At this time, it is still under construction, and there are still incredibly strong Ogre construction workers busy inside. However, the basic framework has already been completed.

The building was over twenty meters tall, which seemed somewhat out of place in this era. It used the most advanced structure, and there was a knight statue riding Wyvern at the entrance. The gate was engraved with the emblem that belonged only to the Embers of the Burned Kingdom - Golden Vertical Pupils surrounded by flames.

At the very top of the building is an exceptionally flat and open platform, painted with neat symbols, and where many Wyvern perch.

This is the Red Scale Garrison, the headquarters of the Red Scale Conqueror. The Wyvern Knight returning from patrol will stop on the platform to rest and await the next mission.

Steamed Bun was originally a member of the patrol team, but he disliked the heavy patrol duties and the meager rewards, so he returned to the city to comfortably become a sheriff. Only Singo remained in the patrol team, and has now risen to the rank of squad leader, becoming the highest-ranking Red Scale Conqueror under Alger.

Steamed Bun parked the Wyvern at the entrance and entered the hall together with the Lang Li Bai Tiao hidden in the shadows.

"Hey, Xin Gou, long time no see."

"You're too slow."

Singo, standing in the distance, looked quite excited.

Singo patted him on the shoulder and said impatiently, "Steamed Bun, don't just laze around in the city. There's only one month left in the closed Internal Beta. This is a great opportunity for us to overtake others. When the game officially launches, we'll be far ahead of the competition."

Steamed Bun was puzzled. "What kind of quests could there be at this point? Isn't everyone in the Internal Beta version in their retirement phase? Apart from those crazy people from the Church of the Machine God still frantically climbing the tech tree, I don't understand what they're doing. Most other players have probably started doing daily quests."

Steamed Bun's recent videos haven't been very exciting, just patrol diaries of the city. The last viral video that stirred up a lot of attention was "Exploring Lachmann Castle" - especially the 30 Lang Li Bai Tiao with the Old Vampire, which earned him tens of thousands of comments and made the Lang Li Bai Tiao resentful.

Singo glanced at him dismissively.

"How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? Those people are the same; their understanding of the game is too poor."

"Then tell me, what else is there to do?"

As Singo summoned the control panel, he said, "I told you long ago that you had to join the Red Scale Patrol."

"This isn't just about the reward; it's about getting the latest intelligence."

"If it weren't for me, you definitely wouldn't have known about the main quest for this last month in advance."

Steamed Bun's eyes widened immediately. "You found another main quest?"

"What main quest?"

A clear and melodious female voice came from behind.

—It turned out that Xia Ye Qiuyu had arrived here, with Born Battle Maniac following closely behind. They had all received a notification from Singo and dropped their tasks to come here.

Singo said casually, "You can see for yourselves. I triggered it while patrolling the Storm Highlands."

A transparent, publicly accessible information screen appeared before everyone.

Main Quest: Frost Scourge

Every few decades, the Frost Giant from the Frozen Forbidden Land Vahalla Glacier sound their horns and begin their rapid march from their glaciers, unleashing a blizzard of howling snow. Wherever they go, towns and villages are reduced to white ruins, and those unfortunate enough to stray onto their path are left only with their plundered corpses. This horrific spectacle is known as the "Frost Scourge" by the native inhabitants of the the North. Now, the Frost Scourge has risen again, but this time the Frost Giant ' target is clearer— the Embers of the Burned Kingdom. They will plunder everything here, reclaim the glory of their ancestors, and mercilessly crush anyone who stands in their way. Warriors, use your swords to withstand the blizzard and stop this Frost Scourge! "Frost Giant..."

Xia Ye Qiuyu frowned slightly, as if recalling something unpleasant. After a moment of hesitation, she asked:

"Is it the same type of monster as the Hill Giant we fought before?"

The Born Battle Maniac touched his bald head and chuckled, "That's great! That giant was a treasure trove; even his toenails could be made into potions."

Xia Ye Qiuyu: "..."

That's why she doesn't want to think about it.

Singo calmly replied, "That's right. I used my position privileges to specifically consult relevant books. These monsters belong to the same category of giants, but the rank of Frost Giant is much higher than that of Hill Giant."

"Furthermore, they may also possess frost-related Spell-like Abilities."

Steamed Bun rubbed his chin. "That won't be easy... Our Red Dragon bloodline doesn't have high cold resistance."

Singo nodded. "Therefore, we must make all preparations for this mission as early as possible."
