The old man turned his head and looked towards the sky filled with wind and snow. He saw a pair of silver wings spread out, followed by a figure descending.

[Angel] Yelena Goncharova stared blankly at the old man in front of her, unable to believe it for a moment.

"Really you? Yuri?"

"You've been following me for so long, and you're still not sure of this?" The old housekeeper smiled slightly, "The little girl has grown up and has become a little more suspicious."

"Mikhail said you were dead..." Yelena frowned, "I really thought..."

"That's not important," the old butler said leisurely, "So what? You destroyed Sventonet for Evans, whose side are you on now?"

"I will always support my lord," Yelena's eyes were a little sad, "but he has gone too far. He can't see us, all of us."

"It's all over now," said the old housekeeper. "If you were still that smart little girl, you would know what the best ending would be."

"I know."

Yelena said as she plunged her broadsword into the snowdrift and looked solemnly at her old comrade in front of her.

"Monark will ascend the snowy peaks again."

......

Extra) "Until the top of the snowy peak" (Part 11)

Pace had anticipated how intense the battle would be. To be honest, he thought it would be a bloody fight.

But what he didn't expect was that Venia's investigator would be defeated so miserably that it was over before he could even warm up.

Looking back, the result is obvious: the Petrov family suffered a lot of oppression after Venia's rule, and they only needed a small outlet to vent their anger. The power they burst out was infinite. Venia's investigators were originally unjust troops, and their fighting will was weak. Facing the anger in the blood of the mountain people, they had no motivation to fight except fear.

So, they surrendered halfway through the fight.

"..."

After the battle, Wolf Territory was not damaged much. On the snowy streets, Pace slowly walked to Ajev Petrov and patted him on the shoulder:

"Don't get carried away, this is just the beginning."

He said this because Adev Petrov seemed overly excited from the beginning: he laughed loudly at the captured investigators and occasionally thrust his hips forward, making very indecent movements.

"Huh?" Ajef turned to Pace and laughed. "You're pretty damn capable, little bastard. How did you manage to knock that thing into the ground with one punch?"

"It's all thanks to my uncle Evans," Pace said, moving his cold steel-forged mechanical arm. "He can make all kinds of prosthetics, from the torso to the internal organs. He is proficient in everything."

"Prosthetics? Internal organs?"

When he heard these two words, Ajeev was stunned for a moment, with light in his eyes.

He looked around and confirmed that there was no one else around, then whispered in Pace's ear:

"So...if it comes to prosthetics...will a kidney be okay?"

Hearing him say this, Pace frowned slightly and didn't know what to say for a moment.

So...the thing about Perlis stabbing him in the kidney during the big landing on the East Coast...is it true?

Is it true that he can't stand up?

"..."

Pace suppressed the urge to laugh and nodded to Ajef with a serious expression:

"Gather troops for me and convince the other families, and I will let Uncle Evans build you an electronic kidney."

When Pess said this, Ajef's mouth trembled and he looked like he was about to cry.

"Oh God!" He raised his head and opened his arms. "My night is back!"

The bearded man patted Pace's shoulder vigorously and nodded heavily at him:

"Pace Monak, I promise you that I will send people to lobby the various lords to let them know about your great deeds! You are so noble, we will definitely support you to climb the snowy peak and become the king!"

That sounds nice... but I'm afraid it's for his own kidneys? Hearing what Ajef said, Pace smiled and nodded:

"Ah."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the end of the street:

"Then, I'm leaving."

"You're not staying for dinner?" Ajaf yelled, "We're having a celebration dinner tonight! We're eating these bastards!"

"No, I'm in a hurry."

Pace didn't look back, but just raised his hand to signal, and his figure disappeared in the blizzard.

Looking at his back, Ajef rubbed his eyes, raised his head and looked towards the top of the snow-capped peak.

"It's coming..." he sighed.

......

Loton-Thebite Alliance

Prince Aloi personally led a line of guards and walked slowly in the narrow corridor of the apartment building.

"Stay alert," he hissed. "He's nearby."

All the guards maintained 100% concentration. They walked through the corridor carefully and soon arrived at the door of the basement along the stairs.

Not long ago, some residents reported that there was a man going crazy here, and there were all kinds of noises of pounding iron that kept people awake, and even explosions.

Aloi quickly brought his men here - this was most likely the whereabouts of Evans Monarch.

"..."

Aloi threw out the golden broken spear, activated the factor shield to maximum power, and then kicked the door fiercely -

"Oh!"

He pointed the golden spear forward, rushed into the basement, and looked around -

"no one."

There was no one there, only some broken bottles and cans, and it was obvious that Evans had run away.

Aloi looked around silently. Behind him, a swarm of guards entered the room and began to collect clues.

"Radioactive factor? What is he going to do with this?" a guard muttered, but Prince Aloi didn't pay much attention.

Although it is unlikely that Evans Monarch could cause any major disturbance on his own, who knows what would happen if he was allowed to wander around Lorton for too long.

As for Pace Monaco, there has been no news from Venia, which means he is still on the run.

I never thought that one day I would be fooled by the Thebites to such an extent...

"..."

Aloi remained silent, turned around and walked out of the basement.

He had to continue searching for Evans Monarch and not let the wildfire spread.

......

"Pace Monarch? Alone? And that bunch of idiots from the Petrov family?"

On the Iron Throne, Venia stared at the investigator below with a distorted face, and his hands on the throne were shaking with anger.

"Yes..." the investigator said in a trembling voice, "Wolf Territory has been... lost... We..."

"Oh, forget it, just give it to them."

Venia said, leaning back on the Iron Throne and taking a deep breath.

"He wants to lure me to send troops to suppress the Petrov Territory, and then take advantage of the Iron Fortress's weak strength to come and finish me off. Ha, it's just a simple plan."

Venia said as he planned, a confident smile on his face again:

"Unfortunately, all the major families are stationed by us. Even if a Petrov rebels, what will happen? Can it threaten my rule?"

"Lord... Lord, your opinion is great..." The Investigator lowered his head and said, "I will have everyone strengthen the martial law of the Iron Fortress to prevent them from launching a surprise attack."

"Haha, the Monark family is already a dying candle in the wind, who cares?" Venia laughed, "Compared to this...what about the information of the Hunter?"

"Progress is stable, and the target has not been found yet," the search officer reported. "I will report any information I have."

"That's good. The things in the bunker must not fall into the hands of the Wilkins. Of course, they belong to me."

Venia leaned comfortably on the Iron Throne, enjoying the feeling as if he had looked up at his father sitting on this throne countless times.

And his father? He was dead! This made his ego swell even more.

"The winner is the king, the loser is the enemy (Thebite)."

Venia said proudly, his laughter echoing throughout the steel fortress.

"Hahahahahaha..."

.......

After leaving Wolf Territory Town, Pace took out the [Divine Blood Compass] again and headed northwest under the guidance of the needle.

He then entered a frozen forest covered with icicles. The ground was very slippery and the branches of the trees were covered with ice, creating a bleak scene.

As Pace walked further into the forest, he felt the compass tremble slightly, as if it was resonating strongly with something.

Obviously, the location indicated by the compass is right in front of us.

Extra) "Until the top of the snowy peak" (Part 12)

As the [Divine Blood Compass] vibrated more and more frequently, Pace became more nervous.

On the way deep into the Ice Peak Forest, he did not see any traces of the Wilkin Guards, let alone the search officers. But this nameless panic rose and fell in Pace's heart, like the waves of an ocean current.

From time to time, wild beasts would make frightening growls in the bushes. At such times, Pace would activate the anti-hunting sound waves on the [Drunken God] to drive away the wild beasts.

The Frozen Forest is the most taboo area for the Thebits. It is called the "hunter's grave" and even the most ferocious beasts find it difficult to survive here.

Everything here seems to be covered with a thin layer of ice. Countless icicles hang between the branches that block the sky. The faint sunlight refracts and flickers between them. It is beautiful, but it also hides dangers.

The hunters of Thebit would never extend their hunting range to this point. Both the ice cones on the ground and the ice spikes in the forest greatly restricted the hunters' walking speed. If they were chased by ferocious wolves in such a place, they would be in danger of death.

Of course, even wolves rarely visit this place, and gradually, the frozen forest has almost become a forbidden zone for life.

"..."

An unknown amount of time had passed. When the sunlight overhead gradually dimmed, Pace arrived at the depths of the frozen forest.

The terrain here is extremely chaotic with rocks and frozen trees, full of potholes, making it extremely difficult to gain a foothold.

Among the undulating piles of rocks, Pace saw a tall stone monument with a thin layer of transparent ice covering it.

"Crack!"

The compass made a sound, and Pace looked down and found that the needle was pointing directly at the stone tablet.

This is it, where the compass points, the bunker that holds the treasure of Hafurgaard...

Upside-down icicles clustered in the sky above, and the crisscrossed branches swayed slightly in the cold wind, and from time to time there would be a "pop" sound - that was the icicles falling from the branches.

Walking up to the stone tablet, Pace took out the axe from his waist and smashed the thin ice attached to it, revealing the dark surface of the inscription.

The inscription on the stele was in ancient Thebite. Pace read it carefully and barely recognized one sentence:

"...For the family..."

His black eyes were slightly startled - this was exactly the ancestral precepts of the Thebit family!

It’s all about family first, it’s all about family first.

Could it be that this bunker is related to the Monarch family?

If that's the case, then...

Just as Pace was about to further explore the patterns on the stone tablet, a sharp gust of wind blew -

"call!"

He suddenly tilted his head, stretched out his silver hand, and caught the arrow flying in the air.

"..."

The black-haired boy tilted his head slightly and quickly locked onto a figure in the woods behind him - it was a hunter squatting on a tree trunk, wearing giant armor and holding a mechanical longbow.
