A rare magical miracle in the world

After all, they are Miracle Citizens, who knows who is standing behind the Lizard People.

Hailbo doesn't have the guts to take such initiatives on his own.

Silly Tiger acted because he's inherently rash.

Even if he did act, Bailuo would only consider it as a child accidentally breaking someone else's belongings.

As a parent, Bailuo would decide whether to apologize based on the other party's attitude, or choose another course of action.

"We don't know what the Lord of Darkness is up to, but let's capture them first; whether they should be sent back or imprisoned will be for Your Majesty to decide."

"Tiger, don't be in a hurry either, if I've estimated correctly, the Thorn Army should have already started to move by now."

Hailbo said, "Taking the Ancient City doesn't put any pressure on us, the real difficulty lies in how to protect this city from the attacking Thorn Army after its capture."

"That's your chance to prove yourselves before His Majesty."

Of course, even though he said this, Hailbo felt that the Thorn Army was not so easy to deal with.

Among them, Ina and Silly Tiger also participated in the Battle of Sigurian.

But Sigurian...

What's that?

A bunch of Frenzied Breeds from the Deep Sea Tribe, they hardly had any combat power, and throughout the battle, Sig's side didn't even use a single Secret Technique Level skill.

"Secret Techniques, huh..."

Hailbo was at Heroic Level, he knew all too well the vast difference between heroes with Secret Techniques and those without.

"General Mei?!"

In the Valley of Hundred Flowers, Mei Xiang quickly breezed through the huge Fragrant Barrier.

"Please wait a moment."

The Fragrant Fairies, a Transcendent Level troop type, were responsible for maintaining the barrier around the Hundred Flowers military camp and largely for maintaining and transforming the environment of the valley.

"I have urgent business."

Mei Xiang took out the badge of General Winter, "Where is Marshal Tulip?"

"She's in..."

"Take me to her quickly!"

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Mei Xiang hastened towards the Hundred Flowers military base.

"Marshal Tulip isn't in the valley, Sister Mei Xiang."

Before Mei Xiang could search for Tulip, an Eastern beauty in a snow-white gown approached. Her name was Luo Shuiyi, a pioneer from the Eastern Empire.

The Count of Thorns had four territorial officials for spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Among them, General Winter was the oldest and served as the instructor and teacher for the Spring Queen, the Xia Fist Saint, and the Autumn of Desolation.

They were all discovered and brought forward by General Winter.

As for Tulip, she was an officer under the Spring Queen, a powerful Child of Miracle at the King-level.

She too was personally mentored by General Winter.

"Where did she go?"

Mei Xiang sounded a bit anxious. Seeing this, Luo Shuiyi hurriedly said seriously, "Sensing the disturbance from the Ancient City, she has already led troops to march."

"What?!"

Mei Xiang said in surprise, "But, Teacher Lixue told us to hold our forces for now."

Though only at Master Level, General Winter held an eminent position under the banner of Count Thorn.

Just like an old uncle in Yatun, he was a figure like a founding elder, a father of the nation.

"This!!"

Luo Shuiyi quickly asked, "Then what are we going to do?"

Luo Shuiyi didn't possess the talent for leading troops into battle, she was a Heroic Level powerhouse.

But she had devoted all her energy to training herself and comprehending the power of the four seasons, without studying any tactics or military strategies.

"How many people are left in the camp?"

"Thorn Guards, Winter Cavaliers, Scarlet Nuns, Sunward Knights, Poison Vine Lashers, each 300."

"We also have the Transcendent Level Fragrant Fairy and Flower Swordsman," Luo Shuiyi said, "Without General Winter's orders, Marshal Tulip dares not move the Transcendent troops."

"Did Extraordinary only move 200 men?"

Mei Xiang said, "It seems Marshal Tulip is very confident in his own strength. Leading troops may be just to broaden their experience."

"But the heroes, they set off with her!"

Logically speaking, an Ancient City shouldn't be hosting so many strong individuals.

Villages, townships, towns, small cities, medium cities, large cities, capitals, Royal Cities, Emperor Capitals.

This is the hierarchy of different levels of settlements on Miracle Mainland, as categorized by the Masters of Miracles, with villages being the lowest and Emperor Capitals the highest.

Of course, the highest living area for Mortals is a large city, like Coral City for example.

Although Ancient City has the word 'capital' in its name, at most, it's the size of a large city, and having Heroic Level protectors is already more than sufficient for such a city.

Seven heroes, along with Masters and Kings, certainly qualify as treatment beyond the norm.

"All the teachers from Hundred Flowers Academy went, except for me."

Valley of Hundred Flowers is actually Count Thorn's training camp, or rather, a military academy, specifically for training Miracle Troops for the Thistle Province.

"They all went?"

Most of those left behind here were Extraordinary, Transcendent Level, and Heroic Level, which were very few, merely seven people, and they could all be specifically identified by plant codenames: Peony, White Rose, Black Rose, Carnation, Lycoris, Sakura, and Clover.

"What about Xia Yan?"

Mei Xiang immediately asked.

"I'm still here."

Xia Yan was another Master-level powerhouse besides Mei Xiang: "Mei Xiang, what happened, isn't it proper for Marshal Tulip to go to the Ancient City when there's trouble?"

"Teacher hopes the Ancient City will be taken down."

"What?!"

Xia Yan was baffled for a moment, but quickly understood General Winter's intention: "Teacher, are you planning to take that step, making use of this external force?"

"Shuiyi, stay here. Mei Xiang, we'll immediately go bring back Marshal Tulip."

It was good that General Winter wanted to step out of his past psychological shadows; the Thorns Kingdom needed the wisdom and strength of Lixue Shanxianzhai.

With him, Count Thorn would be able to hold his own in the power struggles and confrontations among the Masters of Miracles.

So, they absolutely couldn't let that girl Tulip act on her own accord!

"A Dreamscape Barrier, huh? A blend of illusion and reality."

At that moment, on the northern edge of the Ancient City, a woman clad in gold and silver armored, her chest adorned with numerous military insignia, stood majestically outside a hazy mist, much like a Great General.

"Such formidable power."

Tulip placed her hand on it, closing her eyes, then opened them: "It must be at least Master Level, but I don't rule out the possibility of it being King-level."

"All troops, heed my command!"

Tulip ordered the 1000 Miracle Troops behind her: "Without my order, you must absolutely not enter this mist!"

"Yes!"

Tulip clenched her fist, then decisively walked in: "Whoever you are, the Ancient City belongs to my lord. I, Marshal of the Kingdom Tulip, will never hand it over to you!"
