After the War
Three days later...
Inside a meeting room in the Moon Snow City Fei Niao City.
"Magic Capital and some nearby coastal cities are currently undergoing reconstruction. Councilor Shao Zheng hopes that the Totem Beast of Moon Snow City can be stationed on the islands outside the sea to guard against the Sea Monster' attacks again. What do you think?" Mu Ningxue asked Tang Miao.
"I can have them stationed on the island, but relying solely on the Totem Beast won't be enough. We'll also need the military or the Judgment Society to go and station them. If the Sea Monster attack, the Totem Beast won't be able to notify us in time," Tang Miao said.
Although there is some connection between the totem and him.
However, this is also limited by distance.
Tang Miao can't be contacted from all places.
"I overlooked that. I'll mention it to Speaker Shao Zheng later." Mu Ningxue nodded.
She also forgot that Totem Beast, though ancient and powerful...
But ultimately, they're not human.
"While the Sea Monster were attacking our country, it seems there were problems in Africa as well. The demon kingdom in the Sahara Desert has begun to retreat... In addition, the Scorpion Demon clans in Africa have stopped attacking the entire continent and have instead started fighting amongst themselves..."
"..."
"And another thing, the Amazonian demon kingdom, which was originally poised to make a move, is still only seeing small groups launching invasions..."
"..."
As Mu Ningxue finished speaking, Shao Yu, Mu Linsheng, Xu Zhaoting, and others began to recount recent events in the world.
The battle was not fought only in Huaxia.
The whole world is in constant war...
Tang Miao found the conversation utterly boring.
Tang Miao then looked at Mu Ningxue and asked, "Anything else? If not, I'm going back to rest. I'm exhausted after this battle."
Mu Ningxue was speechless...
Tang Miao was dragged here by her.
According to Mu Ningxue, although this place is still called Moon Snow City, it is now the "Tang Clan".
As the clan leader, Tang Miao should be doing something productive.
But now, seeing how utterly hopeless this guy is... she knew that what she had said was still a waste of time.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing," Mu Ningxue said, looking at Tang Miao as if she had just remembered something.
"What is it?"
"The Holy City has issued a signal to me to participate in the Antarctic expedition," Mu Ningxue said.
"Um?"
Tang Miao paused; he was somewhat aware of this matter.
Who sent it?
However, Michael is already dead, and the remaining angels have been taken over by Shaka.
Moreover, they couldn't control who they had before.
Moreover, his current strength is far beyond what Shacheng can compare to.
Under these circumstances, how could anyone still target Mu Ningxue?
"I'm not sure either. It seems to be because of the Antarctic Emperor. Although the Demon Beast have begun to withdraw, the effects of this freezing weather are getting bigger and bigger. If we can't stop it, we humans will still not be able to get through this dark period..." Mu Ningxue replied.
"Let me ask Shaka first," Tang Miao said with a somewhat unfriendly expression.
Although he believed that Shaka wouldn't do anything he shouldn't.
But it's always best to ask clearly about some things!
"Isn't that necessary?"
Mu Ningxue, however, felt it was unnecessary.
The reason she felt no doubt or unease was simply because she knew that the person currently in charge of the Holy City was closely related to Tang Miao.
Since she's connected to Tang Miao, then in a way, she's one of my "sisters"!
She certainly had no reason to suspect anything.
"Don't assume that just because it's an order from the Holy City, you can trust it without question. Shaka doesn't know everything!"
Hearing what Tang Miao said, Mu Ningxue was taken aback...
"Don't you find it strange that there are more than one person in the country who can cast forbidden Ice Element spells? Why did they choose you, who doesn't use forbidden spells?" Tang Miao continued.
Mu Ningxue had considered this before, but as she said before, she believed it was released by the Holy City.
That naturally comes from Shaka.
But I really hadn't considered whether Shaka knew about this...
Tang Miao immediately tried to contact Shaka, but unfortunately, he couldn't reach him...
Shaka doesn't seem to be here right now?
The more this was the case, the more Tang Miao felt something was amiss.
But upon reflection, the trip to Antarctica was actually a good thing for Mu Ningxue.
After all, her Ice Element transformation was perfected in Antarctica.
"There's definitely a conspiracy involved in this. When are you supposed to set off?" Tang Miao asked again.
"It seems they said someone would come to meet us in five days," Mu Ningxue replied.
"I'll be with you then."
Tang Miao nodded, then asked Mu Ningxue to contact Shao Zheng to arrange matters concerning the army.
Although the Military Mage are quite busy right now, there's no other way... the coastal defense line needs to be pushed towards the islands, which are uninhabited. There must be humans in these areas so that any incidents can be reported immediately.
"Okay, I understand..." Mu Ningxue nodded in agreement.
Tang Miao would no longer participate in the matters they were going to discuss next.
I have absolutely no interest in it. Wouldn't it be better to spend that time chatting about life with that Little Vixen Yu Shishi or the Ling Ling Little Strategist?
It's a pity that Jiang Shaoxu is now an important member of Moon Snow City and needs to stay here...
Otherwise, Jiang Fox is the happiest.
As Tang Miao left the villa area, he saw a familiar figure.
Actually, it's been a long time since they last met!
Tang Miao vanished from her spot in a flash...
Outside the villa...
Ding Yumian had just returned from traveling to various academies and hadn't even stepped inside the mountain gate when she felt a large hand pull her from behind...
"Don't move, it's me..."
Tang Miao spoke only after sensing that Ding Yumian was engulfed in flames and trying to repel him.
Upon hearing the familiar sound, the flames engulfing Ding Yumian slowly dissipated...
"Did you have fun?" Tang Miao asked softly, embracing Ding Yumian's soft body.
"Hmm~"
Ding Yumian nodded, then said with some guilt, "I didn't even know about the Sea Monster attack..."
"This is not something you should be concerned about," Tang Miao said softly.
Ding Yumian was indeed unaware of the situation in Huaxia.
The Alps Academy had always been closed off. If the disaster hadn't ended, she wouldn't even know what was happening now.
For Tang Miao, this was to prevent Ding Yumian from doing anything she shouldn't.
Therefore, he never intended for her to know the situation back home. As for when she left, Tang Miao lied about it. Moreover, at that time, the Sea Monster didn't reveal any particularly grand ambitions.
It was all so sudden...
"Have you... never wanted me to know about the Sea Monster's condition?" Ding Yumian asked.
"Um."
"You..." Ding Yumian wanted to say something, but suddenly... her soul trembled.
"What do you mean 'you'? You've been fooling around for so long, it's time for me to come out."
Ding Yumian's sudden remark startled Tang Miao... He instinctively let go of her hand.
Ding Yumian turned around and clung to him, saying, "You rascal~ Did you miss me?"
Hearing that familiar tune, Tang Miao suddenly remembered...
This is still Ding Yumian, only her personality has changed somewhat.
Or rather, this should be another version of her.
"Why are you suddenly so carefree these days, you little hussy?" Tang Miao's lips twitched slightly.
Shouldn't this woman have appeared after Ding Yumian asleep before?
"When she achieved her dream, we made a promise. I've been waiting to be with you all this time~" Ding Yumian said sweetly.
"Tsk tsk..."
"If that's the case, then it wouldn't be right for me not to reciprocate?" Tang Miao smiled meaningfully, gently stroking her rounded breasts.
"Of course!"
As she spoke, Ding Yumian approached.
However, Tang Miao dodged it.
Ding Yumian looked at Tang Miao with some confusion, her eyes full of displeasure!
Because she was rejected...
What are you waiting for?
Tang Miao said with a hint of helplessness, "I mean, even if you've thought about it, there's no need to be in such a hurry, is there?"
Although this is a place he likes, it's the main gate of Moon Snow City...
"Mmm~~~"
Ding Yumian playfully scratched Tang Miao's chest, just like a kitten.
Who can withstand that?
Tang Miao then lifted her up with one hand, leaped into the air, and left the place with a spatial fluctuation.
He has been recuperating for five days.
Plus, for so long before that it was all just fighting...
He also needs some reassurance.
And Ding Yumian herself?
Clearly not enough...
It'll break...
The back hill.
The place where Yu Shishi lived.
Here, a large swarm of beautiful Spirit Moth still hangs shimmering on the trees.
This isn't even nighttime yet; their true beauty will be revealed at night.
This time, when Moon Snow City was facing the Sea Monster' army, these weak Spirit Moth played a significant role.
While their abilities are not as powerful as the Moon Moth Phoenix, they can still hypnotize Sea Monster of the same level.
The large number of Spirit Moth provided a tremendous opportunity for the Flying Bird Base City to unleash their attacks, and the Battle Spirit Moth slaughtered countless Sea Monsters...
"Where are we going?" Ding Yumian didn't stay still the whole way.
Various provocations.
To be honest, Ding Yumian, with her other personality, is no less capable than either Asha Ruiya or Jiang Shaoxu, those two vixens...
"You're not good enough yourself."
Hearing this wasn't particularly hurtful, but the response was undeniably insulting, Ding Yumian was immediately indignant!
Besides, I haven't seen this guy in a long time, and this is a rare opportunity I've had; why would I want to share it with anyone else?
Unfortunately, Tang Miao didn't give her a chance to speak at all, and even sped up her pace.
Seemingly a little dazed from being flirted with...
Upon arriving at Yu Shishi's residence, they discovered that Yu Shishi was not there. Even the Liu sisters, Liu Ru and Liu Xu, were not there!
They're usually here all the time...
However, although they are not here, Apas, who has disappeared, and Wangyue Qianxun, who was brought back earlier, are here.
Meanwhile, at this moment, Wangyue Qianxun Chika was being bullied by that little pervert, Apas...
"Rough..."
The moment Tang Miao saw Apas and Wangyue Qianxun, he felt as if he had seen a vast grassland.
But since both are female...
He felt it wasn't entirely unacceptable?
In short, if you can't break them up, then choose to join!
Mu Ningxue told Shao Zheng what Tang Miao had asked her to do.
Shao Zheng initially only wanted the Totem Beast to be stationed on the islands, expanding the maritime Safe Zone of Huaxia. If anything happened, he would have the Totem Beast inform Tang Miao, so that the inland areas could have an even stronger layer of defense.
But now it seems that this is clearly not going to work...
However, Shao Zheng still agreed.
He also knew that Tang Miao wouldn't lie to him, and with his current strength and reputation, there was no need for him to lie.
Although most Military Mage need to recuperate and the city needs to be Military Mage, as long as the Totem Beast can serve as the first line of defense, the city's security is not a major issue.
Of course, recruitment is still necessary.
In this great battle, the total number of Military Mage in the country decreased by eight percent...
Eight percent doesn't sound like much.
However, it should be understood that Huaxia a vast country with abundant resources, and there are an absurd number of places that need to be guarded. Even small villages and towns have been arranged to be located within the city.
Even so, the Military Mage who need to defend the country make up 60 percent of the population.
In other words, besides these fixed guards in various places...
Only 40% can be mobilized...
It's impossible to deploy all Military Mage on the borders of the sea, and the land isn't exactly peaceful either.
The land monsters are launching attacks on cities more and more frequently. Although there hasn't been a black disaster like in Magic Capital, red alerts are now commonplace.
There was no other way; the Antarctic Emperor's cooling measures had made it impossible for many Demon Beasts on land to survive. At this point, not fighting was clearly not an option.
Even so, Shao Zheng still arranged for 12% of his Military Mage to be deployed to the islands outside the various cities to be on guard and protect them.
Of course, he also told these Military Mages that along with them guarding the waters of Huaxia were a large number of Totem Beast!
Aside from the Moon Moth Phoenix, the Sea East Green, the Dark Serpent, the Baxia, the Fei Lian Tiger, and the Fei Lian, Tang Miao assigned almost all of the surviving Totem Beast to various islands.
It was also because of the arrival of the Totem Beast that the Demon Race living in certain sea areas began to evacuate...
Even though this should have been their territory.
However, the overwhelming pressure from the Totem Beast prevented them from even considering resistance.
As a totem, whether in terms of bloodline or strength, one must surpass these ordinary Sea Monster by countless times. Moreover, during a national war, perhaps a monarch is nothing.
But now, the war is over.
At least for now, it's over...
Most of those Demon Emperor fled with injuries, and they also need to recuperate. At least for the next year or two Demon Capital will not make any major moves.
Therefore, the existence of a Supreme Monarch is absolutely enough to command respect and awe in a region.
Of course, things are never absolute, which is why Shao Zheng suggested using totem beasts to guard the island and expand the territory of Huaxia Anjie...
