Many couldn't avoid it. He really couldn't.
Flora's body was burning hot after drinking. It messed up Many's calm thoughts. Her skin was so white that it was comparable to Sylvia's. Her thin waist looked like Medusa's snake waist under her gauzy underwear. The two red spots on her cheeks were faintly discernible. The candlelight in the room was a little dim. Coupled with the faint scent of Flora's body, Many felt like he was hit in the back of his head with a stick. He was completely dumbfounded!
Flora's arms wrapped around Lot's neck. Her eyes were slightly squinted as she laid in his arms and looked up. Her hands slightly exerted force and pulled Lot's waist down. She gently licked her lips, then closed her eyes and slowly pressed her lips against Lot's …
"Boom!"
Many didn't know why, but he suddenly shivered as if he had fallen into a cold pool. It was because something exploded in his head. It was definitely not a physiological reaction caused by Flora!
His lips had just touched Flora when the little girl coiled around him like a snake. He felt as if he had been immobilized. His Majesty's tongue was trembling as he tried to get a response from Flora. However, the explosion had snapped him out of his stupor.
Many didn't know what was going on, but his instinct told him that something big had happened!
Flora didn't notice Many's abnormalities. She closed her eyes and slightly opened her mouth. She was still thinking about the dizzying feeling. However, the next moment, Many's voice made her open her eyes. "Something's not right!"
Many didn't throw Flora onto the bed. He gently let go of the warm and fragrant body in his arms. He gritted his teeth and said, "Rest well. I have something important to do."
He didn't even have time to explain, since he didn't even have the time to take off his clothes. Flora quietly looked at him. After staring at him for about three seconds, she softly said, "I'll be waiting for you."
Many didn't know how to respond to that. He gulped hard, nodded, and ran out of the room.
…
The guard was holding an urgent message from Sibor. He stood in front of the tower of Pajar Palace, not sure if he should go up or not.
However, while he was hesitating, the Count came down from above. It was unbelievable. He went to the beautiful Queen, and he didn't enjoy himself?
However, he would never be able to say these words in his life. Many people rushed to him, snatched the letter from his hand, and tore the envelope open. Henry's intelligence had just arrived, and there was only a short sentence on it: "Hillias's troops are heading to Sibor, expected to arrive tomorrow."
The message made Many instantly think of a lot of things. Victoria Count should have received the message today. However, she didn't tell him. Why?
Who cares why … Many used Krillin's Blade to teleport to the teleportation circle and asked the Magician on duty to teleport them back to Oditore. Then, the Count rang the bell for the army to assemble in the middle of the night. However, only half of the Magician Groups followed him to Sibor. Since there were too many Troll soldiers, Many didn't let them use the teleportation circle, which would consume a lot of energy. They still needed to observe the current situation. Sibor had the advantage of the city walls and the support of the Magician Groups.
But this matter didn't seem to be the reason why Many were suddenly alarmed by the inexplicable thing in their minds. After arriving at Sibor through the teleportation circle, Many used Count's authority to take over the defense of the city walls of Sibor. Then, they replaced the Magician Groups at the tower with the Magician Groups.
Count Victoria was still resting in the Sistine Chapel because she was drunk, so she didn't rush back. She looked at the pitch-black wilderness outside the city wall and thought about something else …

"The Wheel of Fortune is moving in the direction it should."
Leoric's whisper was almost inaudible in the snowy mountains. Grand Magician Nois kept his wand back into his spatial ring and looked at the scene before him as if nothing had happened. The Abyss Emissary Helinus stood beside the two Elders of the Undead Council and looked at them with reverence. Then, he turned his gaze to the huge stone arch in front of the three.
Faint light lingered in the center of the door, and the chaotic elemental ions in the surroundings swirled like the fiercest storm. However, these things were restricted to a fixed area. Nois' magical shield, which was at the pinnacle of his skill, trapped the elemental storm, which was comparable to a small-scale forbidden spell, firmly within the shield.
A whirlpool appeared in the huge arch, and then the whirlpool collapsed inwards. Suddenly, it was as if all light had disappeared.
"Everything is going according to plan."
Leoric was indeed worthy of being a king. He did not stay shocked for a few seconds before he recovered as if nothing had happened. But his cloak was still fluttering in the strong wind, and the air around him seemed to be in a typhoon. Nois had already cast a magic shield, but Leoric did not seem to care about it. He turned to look at Helinus, threw a sentence, and turned to leave.
"It's about to begin …"
Helinus narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two big shots who helped him open the portal and said softly.
…
At that moment, countless people on the continent stopped what they were doing and looked towards the extreme north. Among them were the Red Dragon Patriarch Evelyn Carolina, several elven elders, and the seemingly calm Lord of Winricton, Count Gatchalin, in the Empire of Saint Reims.
Of course, it also included many who were struggling on the edge of sanity.
At this moment, everything else was put aside. The news of the Abyss Race's invasion made these powerful beings, who stood at the top of the continent, frown deeply. But more than that, they felt helpless as the 'Wheel of Fate' spun once again.

The sky was just beginning to brighten, and Oditore was as quiet as ever.
Last night's emergency assembly bell rang, and the atmosphere in Oditore was a little tense. But it seemed that things had returned to normal. The army had returned to their resting areas and were on standby. When the sun rose, the merchants began their day's work. Figures carrying school bags appeared on the streets, and the patrols beside them were still carrying out their escort duties.
Carolina, who had just landed in the territory, took a light breath. She looked at everything. It was so familiar, but also a little strange.
She had only been away for a few days, but Carolina, who had lived here for a long time, felt that this place was like her home. Of course, for her, there were many places that could be called home. Although she did not know if this idea was reasonable, Carolina still could not forget many feelings in her heart.
Or rather … her feelings for Nairíos.
Carolina was a little confused now. If it was not Nairíos … or if one day, Nairíos suddenly appeared in front of her, how would she react?
Walking to the door of the baron's mansion, Carolina looked up at the statue. In fact, she had noticed the statue for a long time. Every time it appeared in her field of vision, Carolina would automatically look away. But at this moment, Carolina forced herself to shift her gaze to the statue.
There were some things that blindly running away was useless. Although Carolina was very clear about this, when faced with the fear in her heart, there was nothing she could do. After listening to her mother's teachings, she felt a little more confident. After taking a closer look at the statue, Carolina suppressed the disgust and fear in her heart. She turned around and walked into the baron's mansion.
The servants were cleaning. When they saw the noble dragon coming in, they immediately saluted and greeted her. At the same time, they told Carolina about the emergency conscription and the Sibor incident last night.
"Understood."
Carolina nodded, let out a sigh, and walked out of the baron's mansion. After thinking for a while, she decided to wait for him to come back. This guy wouldn't care about anything else during a war. Carolina thought of the huge dragon crystal in her spatial ring and felt that she shouldn't be in a hurry.
Walking on the streets of Oditore Fortress, the level of construction here was already in place. The buildings that extended outwards gave an illusion that they couldn't see the end. Of course, this was because a part of the city wall hadn't been built yet. Looking at the huge building in the distance that stood out like a crane among chickens, Carolina strode forward.
The construction of the Saint Sophia Cathedral had been completed. In the morning, the place was still the same as yesterday's wedding ceremony. Fresh flowers were scattered all over the ground, and the petals on the ground had yet to be swept clean. Anyway, when Carolina arrived, the cave troll in charge of cleaning the place was busy sweeping the ground.
"Carolina?"
The voice of doubt made this superior dragon turn her head abruptly. What she saw was a breathtakingly beautiful face. What was even more unbelievable was that this face that made Carolina feel a little old-fashioned and stiff actually had a faint smile on it!
"Bishop Becky?
You … "
Carolina didn't know what to say. After all, this beautiful face was more lethal to men than a forbidden spell. Even to a dragon, it was a little suffocating. She didn't understand what was going on. What was even more unbelievable was that Bishop Becky's aura had actually surpassed a level nine!
