Winter Lord: Starting with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 48 Full of treasures
Wel watched the situation nervously, worried about the knights in battle.

At this moment, the Ice Armor Bear had completely entered a berserk state, and the surrounding environment seemed to be frozen in its rage.

Three enormous crystalline spikes protruded from its back, radiating a fiery blue light.

The air began to vibrate violently under the intense heat, making it almost impossible for the knights around to stand.

The archers' arrows could no longer reach the Ice Armor Bear's skin; the icy flames in the air were enough to vaporize them.

"Phase Two Operations Begin!" Louis shouted the order.

The commander waved the flag, and the signal was transmitted.

The knights quickly split into several groups and began to surround the Ice Armor Bear.

They swiftly moved out of the Ice Armor Bear's sight, and each provocation only made the Ice Armor Bear more and more agitated.

Their hexagonal eyes flashed with angry red light, and cold flames constantly leaked from their bodies.

"Keep leading them, don't let them get close!" Lambert, the on-site commander, shouted.

Each time they approached, the knights swiftly turned, skillfully avoiding the Ice Armor Bear's attacks.

They frantically swung their giant claws, but no matter what they did, they always missed.

A helpless roar ripped through the silence of the mountains.

The crystal spikes released increasingly powerful heat waves, and deafening energy fluctuations filled the air.

"Their energy is about to explode!" Lilia shouted, her eyes filled with worry.

“Be patient, don’t let them stop!” Louis stared at the Ice Armor Bear, observing the crystals on its back.

At this moment, any detail could determine victory or defeat.

The knights' movements became increasingly precise, and each provocation further fueled the Ice Armor Bear's berserk energy.

The continuous implementation of the kite tactic caused each of the nine Ice Armor Bears to go berserk under extreme conditions.

Their internal energy began to overflow uncontrollably, and the angry air currents nearly knocked down the surrounding trees and rocks.

The rocks began to roll down, and the sound of the tremors could be heard even in the distant mountains.

"Now!" Lambert's eyes lit up; he saw an opportunity in that fleeting moment.

Lambert led six elite knights and twenty-three regular knights to quickly separate and pounce on each of the rampaging ice-armored bears.

Each Ice Armor Bear was desperately unleashing powerful cold flames, and violent air currents swept around.

Temperatures rose sharply, and the combination of cold winds and heat waves created a deadly barrier.

Lambert gripped his longsword and led his team forward, their objective clear: the berserk Ice Armor Bear's core.

"Pfft!"

The longsword pierced deep into the core of the back of a rampaging ice-armored bear.

Meanwhile, the other knights were not to be outdone and quickly concentrated their forces to attack in turn.

As the knight attacked, the crystal spikes on the Ice Armor Bear's back flashed wildly and vibrated violently, unleashing a torrent of powerful energy.

A powerful shockwave exploded instantly, nearly tearing the entire battlefield apart. Cold flames formed a massive storm that swept everything away.

"Retreat! Retreat now!" Lambert's voice was almost drowned out by the roar of the explosion.

The knights quickly retreated to avoid the uncontrollable explosive energy.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and flames.

The energy burst from the nine armored bears created a terrifying disaster, the explosion distorting the air.

The ice crystal shell shattered in the flames, scattering fragments everywhere.

After the smoke cleared, the corpses of the nine surviving Ice Armor Bears lay quietly in the center of the chaotic battlefield.

Although the explosive force of their berserk state was enough to tear everything apart, thanks to the Ice Armor Bears' icy crystalline shells, their corpses did not turn to ashes. Their crystalline spikes remained hard, and although some were shattered, their powerful threat was still palpable.

It was over. Louis stood on one side of the battlefield, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it was a fierce battle, not a single soldier in his troops was injured, and even their warhorses were unharmed.

Will and Lilia stood to the side, their eyes sparkling with longing.

They looked at the knights on the battlefield, dreaming that one day they could be like them.

To be able to stand on the battlefield and slay these powerful enemies for Lord Louis.

“We can do it too, right?” Lilia asked softly.

Will didn't speak, he just nodded vigorously.

With the battle over, the knights began to systematically collect their spoils.

These once terrifying beasts now lie quietly on the ground, as spoils of war.

Moreover, almost every Ice Armor Bear is a treasure trove.

The knights carefully cut off pieces of bear meat; the meat was firm and elastic, emitting a unique aroma.

Ice-armored bear meat is considered a nourishing delicacy and can fetch a high price in the south.

It can effectively enhance the knight's flesh and blood and increase the storage of battle aura.

Each piece of meat can provide the knights with tremendous assistance.

Some knights even specialize in dismantling the crystals on the backs of ice-armored bears.

These crystals, in the hands of alchemists, can be crafted into powerful potions or magical items, which are priceless.

Louis looked at the corpse of the Ice Armor Bear with a hint of regret in his eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that Ice Armor Bears are so dangerous and even unstable, he would have wanted to open his own Ice Armor Bear farm long ago.

Every inch of these behemoths is worth making good use of.

Bear meat, crystals, ice armor, and even bear claws and teeth are all extremely valuable, making it a veritable natural resource pool.

But that's just wishful thinking. If they actually tried to raise them, the Red Tide Territory would probably be blown to bits in no time.

His gaze swept over the busy knights, and looking at the spoils, he couldn't help but smile.

This was indeed a great victory, so he prepared to reward the knights.

"Alright, everyone stop!" he shouted.

The knights stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Louis.

"I've decided to use the meat of these Ice Armored Bears tonight to host a feast!" Louis announced.

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding knights cheered.

The tense atmosphere following the battle was instantly swept away.

"Lord Louis, this is too generous!" one of the knights exclaimed.

“Yes! This bear meat is incredibly valuable; it’s a godsend for warriors!” Another knight’s eyes gleamed.

The surrounding knights raised their hands and shouted in unison, "Praise be to our great lord!"

Louis felt very content listening to the laughter and cheerful voices around him.

After all, he didn't personally train these knights; only by investing sufficient resources could he ensure their true loyalty.

As long as the reward is sufficient, the knight's six sword strikes per second are not the limit.

Moreover, with danger looming, the meat of these armored bears could provide his team with extra strength, giving him more confidence to meet the upcoming bandit suppression challenge.
