A bitter and self-deprecating smile appeared on Snow Empress's beautiful face. She gently broke away from Ice Empress's support and barely stood upright relying on the remaining strength in her body.
She looked around at the three loyal partners around her, and then looked at the Far North Soul Beast people in the distance who were fighting fiercely with the Nirvana Corpse army, and her voice was ethereal and filled with a through-and-through indifference:
"I was careless. The long years and Far North's peace made me lose the vigilance I should have... I deserved this disaster."
She did not accuse Bibi Dong of the sneak attack. In her long life, she had seen too many conspiracies and killings.
On the battlefield, there is only victory and defeat, not despicability.
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. This is an eternal truth.
If you lose, you lose, and any excuses will pale in comparison.
Her gaze crossed the crowd and landed on the chaotic battlefield in the distance.
Relying on their numerical advantage and fearless spirit, the Far North Soul Beasts temporarily withstood the impact of the Nirvana Corpse army, but at every moment, Soul Beast fell in mourning, turning into the material for Nirvana Corpse's growth.
In terms of high-end combat power, in addition to Bibi Dong, the opponent also has several Super Douluo who are eyeing them. On the other hand, he is seriously injured and on the verge of death, and all three Ice Empress are also attrition... The defeat is certain.
If we continue to fight, nothing will change except for letting Extreme North shed the last drop of blood and letting her people sacrifice their lives in vain.
The purpose of these undead seems to be to occupy Far North, rather than to completely exterminate it, then...
A decisive thought arose in her heart.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the sweetness in her throat, and glanced at Ice Empress, A-Tai and Xiao Bai in turn, her tone was calm, but with unquestionable determination:
"Bing'er, A-Tai, Xiao Bai, listen to me."
Her voice was not loud, but it passed clearly into the ears of every Ferocious Beast, carrying a kind of heaviness like entrustment.
"Wait a minute, I will do my best to stop them. You, immediately retreat with Soul Beast who are still able to move, spread out, and sneak into the depths of Far North. Don't look back, and don't confront them head-on."
She paused, and a trace of deep attachment to the land where she was born and raised flashed in her eyes, and then turned into determination:
"This Extreme North... it's okay to give it to them temporarily. Only by conserving your strength can we have a future."
"Xue'er, what nonsense are you talking about."
Ice Empress became anxious instantly, his green eyes widened, and his voice became sharp.
"If we join forces, we may not have no chance. Even if we die, I will die with you."
Let her abandon Snow Empress and run away alone? This is more uncomfortable than killing her.
"Snow Empress!"
Titan Snow Demon King A-Tai let out a low roar, clenched his huge fists, and his ice blue pupils were burning with crazy anger.
"I, Far North Soul Beast, am not greedy for life and afraid of death. I am just a group of damn undead. Watch me crush them."
Its huge body trembled slightly due to excitement, and the cold air around it condensed uncontrollably.
"Snow Empress, I won't leave, and I won't leave even if I die."
Ice Bear King Xiaobai stood up straight away, letting out a thunderous roar, and a violent aura swept across.
"I'm going to fight them. No one can hurt you."
It regards Snow Empress as its mother. At this moment, it would rather die in battle than live alone.
Looking at the three emotional companions, Snow Empress felt warm and sad at the same time.
Why is she willing to be separated from them? But she is Lord of the Far North, and she must consider the future of the entire Extreme North.
She ignored their objections and slowly took something out of her arms.
It was a Snow Lotus that was crystal clear, exuding soft white light and a strong breath of life. On the petals, there seemed to be rules of ice flowing naturally - it was that Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.
She solemnly handed Snow Lotus to Ice Empress, her eyes full of expectation and a trace of imperceptible sadness:
"Bing'er, take it, originally... I wanted to use it to transform, but now it seems that there is no such chance. The huge source of life and the laws of ice and snow contained in this Snow Lotus will be of great help to you in dealing with the fourth heavenly tribulation. Live well and take my share... together."
"No, I don't want it!"
Ice Empress looked at the Snow Lotus, as if he saw the passing life of Snow Empress. Tears finally poured out uncontrollably, mixed with the blood on his face and fell down.
"Without you, what use would I have for this Snow Lotus, and what use would I have for this Far North."
She shook her head violently and refused to pick it up.
Snow Empress shook his head helplessly, then forcefully placed Snow Lotus in Ice Empress's hand, then turned to Xiao Bai, his tone became particularly gentle, like a mother telling her child:
"Xiao Bai, be obedient. If... if I am no longer here, you must listen to Bing'er. Don't be willful, and don't always quarrel with A-Tai. Do you understand?"
She knows that Xiao Bai has a simple mind and a stubborn personality, and is the most worried about him.
Finally, her eyes fell on the most calm Titan Snow Demon King: "A-Tai, you have a calm personality and take the overall situation into consideration. In the future... I hope you can assist Bing'er well and guard the foundation of our Far North. This land is entrusted to you."
These words, every word, are like the last words, hitting the hearts of Ice Empress, A-Tai and Xiao Bai, and making the Wangsheng Hall strong men watching from a distance have different expressions.
Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan and others remained silent. Although they were enemies, they also admired Snow Empress's opponent's magnanimity and responsibility.
Qian Daoliu's eyes were complicated, as if he was recalling some distant past events.
Bibi Dong, who had been watching with cold eyes, finally spoke again.
She was holding Rakshasa Demon Scythe, with a condescending indifference on her elegant face, and her voice penetrated the wind and snow and came clearly:
"Snow Empress, those who know the current affairs are heroes. You are at the end of the road and are stubbornly resisting. The only way is to annihilate the entire army."
Her scarlet eyes swept over Ice Empress and others.
"If you are willing to surrender to me and join Wangsheng Hall, I can put past the blame and promise that my people will treat Far North Soul Beast well and give them a place to live. It will not be difficult."
This seemingly generous condition made Snow Empress laugh.
"Haha... be kind?"
She raised her head. Although her face was pale and her breath was weak, the pride and sharpness belonging to Lord of the Far North were rekindled in her ice-blue eyes.
"Do you really think I don't know what you Nirvana Corpse are? You feed on the vitality of living things and use all things Soul Power as bait. The so-called kindness is nothing but captive breeding. I treat my people as blood food and cultivation resources that you can use at any time."
Her voice suddenly rose, filled with anger and determination:
"You want to keep me, Far North Soul Beast, in captivity and enslave my people? Unless I, Snow Empress, lose my soul and my body and soul, it is absolutely impossible."
Snow Empress's stern rebuke completely tore apart Bibi Dong's mask of hypocrisy and ignited the anger in the hearts of all Far North Soul Beast. The beasts in the distance let out even more tragic and crazy roars.
