Chapter 817: Chapter 484: Glacier
On the vast icefield.
Booster watched as Colin’s figure gradually disappeared into the darkness and suddenly looked up.
In the velvet-like darkness, a crystal-clear snowflake slowly drifted down from the sky.
’It’s going to snow...’ Booster murmured, withdrew his gaze, and turned to return to the front line.
Helping Colin was just an interlude; he was more worried about the fate of the remaining compatriots on the Nolan Continent.
They need to earn enough battle merits in this war to establish themselves on this unfamiliar continent.
While worrying, Booster returned to his igloo.
"You’re still not gone?"
Gard was still in the room at this time, listening to Booster’s question and sighed.
"I’ll stay a bit longer. After all, there’s no lack of a wizard like me over there."
Although Gard was assigned as the commander of the neighboring defense line, in reality, as an outsider wizard, he had only a superficial title and could not truly get involved in command.
At most, he could only receive a respectful greeting from those wizards when they saw him.
"You’ve worked hard." Booster comforted.
Even a Fourth Rank Wizard, after participating in the war, cannot go wherever he pleases.
There is still a need to obey arrangements.
Of course, a Fourth Rank Wizard indeed has certain privileges, otherwise, Gard wouldn’t have been assigned next door.
"For everyone’s sake, it’s not hard work." Gard shook his head, "We are the last spark of the Nolan Continent, carrying the mission of burning."
He glanced at Booster, paused, and then said, "Compared to my side, yours is the most critical. The last strength of the entire Nolan Continent is basically concentrated here... you’ve worked hard."
"For Nolan, for everyone..." Booster also shook his head, "I will do my best to let everyone survive."
"Hmm." Gard nodded, "Then I’ll head back first."
He got up and walked towards the door.
But the communication crystal in the center of the igloo suddenly flickered.
Booster stepped forward, pressed his hand on the crystal, and after a moment, looked at Gard and said:
"It’s an order to gather the commanders of all defense lines."
"Commander... then I have to go too?"
"I’m afraid so. It’s for all line commanders, and the time is in an hour, at a location about fifty kilometers south of here." Booster said.
Gard slightly furrowed his brows.
...
An hour later.
The fine snow had ceased, and the night sky revealed a brilliant starry sky.
In an Ice Valley.
Under the disguise of the hidden Witch Array, dozens of Fourth Rank Wizards gathered here.
Leading them was a blue-haired middle-aged wizard, Lentria, the nominal general commander of the Extreme North battle line.
"A week has passed since the formation of the Golden Solid Wall, and the Divine side fled, barely hanging on in the Extreme North."
"During this period, we successfully established a comprehensive defense line, completely encircling the remnants of the Divine. We are preparing to wait for the right moment to capture them all!"
"But now, the situation has once again changed."
Lentria surveyed the wizards before him and said in a deep voice:
"Just half a day ago, the Supreme Councilman conveyed an order to me.
The content was a command to clear the entire Extreme North of the Divine remnants at all costs, as soon as possible."
"The reason for summoning you all here is precisely because of this matter."
After he finished speaking, the expression of the Fourth Rank Wizards present turned more solemn.
’The total attack, is it about to begin...’
Booster and Gard exchanged a glance, both showing a mixture of concern and anticipation in their eyes.
The concern was because the battle inevitably brought injuries and deaths, and there were only about six hundred wizards of the Second Rank and above aboard the Nolan.
If one of these people dies, it means there will forever be one less survivor from the Nolan Continent.
And the anticipation was that, after this battle, they should have a place where they could recuperate and live...
"We’ll discuss the specific time for the total attack later; for now, let’s discuss the sectors and tasks for which each will be responsible when the time comes." Lentria continued, his tone calm, and his face showed no expression.
But this was indeed the most important part of this meeting.
After a pause, Lentria still emphasized, "Depending on the sector and task responsible, the amount of battle merits obtainable will be different.
The more dangerous the sector, the more difficult the task, the higher the battle merits obtainable."
"Do you all understand?"
The wizards nodded, but what they were thinking in their hearts... no one knew.
Lentria touched the crystal in front of him.
Swipe—
A massive projection appeared behind him.
"These are the specific sectors and tasks; please choose for yourselves."
"Currently, information is insufficient. We only know that the Divine remnants are trapped deep in the Extreme North, but the exact location of the main force is not yet determined."
"I’ll continue to be responsible for the area in front of the original defense line with my subordinates." In a corner, a wizard in a black robe spoke first.
Although the precise location where the Divine is entrenched is still uncertain, the defense line originally overseen by this wizard is particularly remote, likely not encountering the main force of the Divine Believers.
Therefore, the battle merits marked for that area are currently very few.
If exceptionally unlucky, and they encounter the main force of the Divine remnants, the battle merits obtainable then will be increased.
But the black-robed wizard in front would clearly prefer to earn fewer battle merits.
After all, while battle merits are good, ultimately, one needs to survive to use them.
The Divine remnants are now trapped in the Extreme North with no way out, which is precisely when they are most dangerous...
