I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE



"Monster Overlord!!" exclaimed everyone in panic.

The petite Monster Overlord and Jade look at each other without moving. None of the other knights nearby dare to move or even hold their breath.

Most people here are unfamiliar with the witch-like Monster Overlord. Still, if they provoke this Monster Overlord, they may not know how they died.

'Just by her aura, it is already suffocating.' thought everyone with cold sweat.

Suddenly, Jade opened his palm and let his Crimson Orb fly to the sky. *Wissh* *Wissh* *Wissh* *BANG* *BANG*  A moment later, Crimson Orb crashed with all the incoming big flaming rocks in the air.

Everyone wakes up from their stupor and starts fending off the incoming flaming rocks. Jade's Crimson Orb only makes the large blazing rock into smaller pieces to prevent complete annihilation. They still need to protect themselves from the smaller ones.

Under this destructive rain of fire, Jade and the Monster Overlord are still not breaking their eye contact. They are still facing each other and ready to move whenever the other party shows any sign of attack.

'Her cold expression really looks like that little monster in the past.' thought Jade as he found the petite witch monster overlord similar to Anna when they first met.

Ignoring the raining meteor across the frozen sea, the petite witch Monster Overlord stretched her hand to the side before touching something as if pushing a button. *GRRRTT* *BBZZTTZZ*

A moment later, a cracking space in the form of a line appeared beside the petite monster overlord. The cracking space opens wide and reveals the pitch-black abyss inside of it. *GROOOWWLLL* A loud roar could be heard inside the cracking space.

Under everyone's gaze, they see monsters coming out from this cracking space. Monsters of various sizes and grades pour out like an endless tide. Fortunately, this monster horde is not stopping and attacking Jade's group but moving towards the battlefield in the distance.

Then, a massive tremor shook the entire frozen sea. *CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK* The frozen sea below the petite monster overlord trembled and rose high into the sky. A frozen giant appeared from below the witch monster overlord up to a few hundred meters high.

The sudden appearance of a huge frozen giant is a magical and devastating scene. The surrounding frozen sea was destroyed by the emergence of this humongous frozen giant.

Jade and everyone were forced to retreat until a few hundred meters away to avoid their Alkin getting crushed under the avalanche of frozen sea. In fact, Jade could offset this avalanche using his power. Still, he knows better than to disturb the petite witch monster overlord.

Over the years of having contact with the little monster Anna, he knows it is better not to disturb these monster beings when they are not in the mood. Otherwise, hell will be released upon them.

Just through a single glance, Jade knows the petite witch was in a very bad mood. Her miasma is so concentrated and gathered, ready to be active anytime. It is like an active volcano waiting to erupt.

Combined with her previous scene of her getting thrown from the battlefield a hundred kilometers away, everyone with a bit of brain knows she is super pissed off.

As Jade predicted, the monster horde and witch monster overlord completely ignore them and return to the battlefield. The same situation and experience also happens with the other team in other areas.

They are either facing the disastrous weather or facing the monster overlord, who is somehow getting thrown all over the place. However, some of them are not as lucky as Jade's team. Some of the furious overlords release their wrath upon them.

Facing this disastrous scene many times, the dispatched team notices this mission and task is more challenging than they previously thought. It may be more dangerous than the previous investigation mission at the Dark Forest a few years ago.

They never thought the seemingly effortless idle wait-and-see mission would turn into this survival mission. Forget about fighting and killing the exhausted Dumrod. They need to survive first against this calamitous weather.

The scale of Dumrod's battle with the monster overlord is overwhelming. It is enough to reach their camping area, which is a hundred kilometers away from the center of the battlefield.

It is as big as an average small kingdom area. In other words, this battle is enough to turn any small kingdom into a battlefield in the outside world. Any single stray attack is enough to destroy a kingdom.

Meanwhile, Angus and his group finally reach the border of Frostfall County within a few days of travel. After dropping off Lizbet Sunarm, their potential seer, in a nearby major city, they continue their journey toward Frostfall City.

With the help of Alkin, they could travel the land without worry of ambush. Their only obstacle is they prevent them from destroying any existing crop field or property, forcing them to only take big official roads.

Still, their traveling speed was faster than before as they didn't need to stop to be ambushed or rest during the night.

"Whitty.. Whitty… Daddy, everything is whitty!!" exclaimed Anna while playing with the snow.

Frostfall County is one of the areas inside the Heart Kingdom with cold weather. At the year's end, its climate is the coldest and often covered with snow.

"Anna, don't run around. It's just snow." reprimanded Jayna.

"Yuck… The whitty turns into liquid in Anna's hand." said Anna while trying to remove the water as if it were something disgusting.

The people nearby couldn't help but twitch at her ambiguous words.

"This girl… She must have said that on purpose." said Angus.

This is not their first time seeing the snow. However, they are rarely able to enjoy such cold weather scenery inside their capital city. In fact, the capital city never has snowfall except when the Twin Gemini do their mischievous prank.

Soon, they could see a massive city wall covered in snow. They finally arrive at Frostfall City.

"The Frostfall city is under the rule of Count Otebon  Flamewaver. He is also the famous leader of the Extermination squad." informed Duchess Amberblaze from the side.

"I wonder what kind of person Count Otebon is. I hear he is quite a strict and cold person. Even all his subordinates fear him a lot." replied Angus.

"Well, Count Flamewaver is a very disciplined person. In fact, those people from that place are like that. Just don't do something outrageous and nothing will be a problem. We will only stop here for resupplying." said Duchess Amberblaze.

"Yeah, right." replied Angus nonchalantly.

Since they reach the Frostfall territory, Angus notices no other ambush is hidden in the surroundings. Even when the terrain is suitable for ambushing, no bandits or bounty hunters are trying to attack them.

Later, Angus discovers that they do not fear to attack him. But these greedy people were already eliminated before they could act. With his perception, Angus finds six out of ten civilians are hidden combatants. He guesses these people are part of the undercover Extermination squad.

As the number one law enforcer in the Heart Kingdom, the Extermination Squad developed a strong anti-spy unit. Most of their members were involved in the undercover division.

Angus didn't expect the efficiency of the Extermination squad to be stringent in their home base. Forget about finding any information about Frostfall. It is very hard to infiltrate this place without being discovered.

It is not wrong to say that Forstfall County is the most secure place in the Heart Kingdom regarding information security. A moment later, the Alkin is stopped outside the city wall.

Angus and the others are forced to continue their journey with their previous carriage as the Alkin is too big and may destroy the surrounding property if they are not careful.

Since the security and public maintenance of Frostfall are better than any other territory, they decided to comply with this request. Still, Angus finds the city wall guards quite intriguing.

Not only is the captain fifth grade, but they also dare to force everyone to queue like the others for registration and check. It shows the strictness of the law and order in this place. Nevertheless, Angus and the others comply with the rules to avoid conflict.

Fortunately, Angus finds the city guards to do their job properly according to the procedure. Though, their bureaucratic system seems inefficient and slow. He also found no bribery or underhanded methods during the registration check.

Otherwise, he will not hesitate to turn them into ash on the spot with such an act of hypocrisy. Angus prefers these guards to be depravity people rather than disturb his pace and act like double-faced people.

"Mommy, Anna is bored." grumbled Anna loudly.

"Anna, be patient. We will enter soon." pacified Jayna.

"Be quiet back there!!" shouted the stern guards on the front.

Seeing this harsh behavior, Angus frowned a little with a grim face. Before he could act, Duchess Amberblaze grabbed his shoulder and shook her head. Seeing this, Angus frowned further as if questioning the Duchess' sanity.

Under the relentless Duchess' eyes, Angus decides to calm down but still takes note of this incident.

'That's it… I will not hold Anna here. Yep, this city could go to oblivion for all I care. I want to see if they still dare order my family at that time.' thought Angus.
