2025-08-02 11:49:52Sir Leon was overseeing the knights’ formations, making sure each soldier knew their role in the convoy. Noticing the princess and Liuyue now descending the marble steps into the courtyard, Leon approached with a respectful salute.
His scarlet cape, embroidered with Yanling’s emblem of a flame, fluttered in the morning breeze. The sunlight caught in his fiery red hair, which was streaked with strands of gold like sparks in a blaze. “Your Highness,” Leon reported, his tone steady and warm, “everything is ready. The escort stands prepared to depart at your command.” Fu Rong turned to face her knight commander.
His presence was as reassuring as ever. She searched Leon’s face for any sign of doubt, but found none—only unwavering loyalty. “Leon,” she began quietly, so that only he and Liuyue could hear. &ld

CHAPTER 102: Road of Flames (3)
The sound was deafening—a howl of flames mixed with the panicked squeals of boars caught in the hellish updraft. The very ground shook as charred leaves and sparks were whipped into the air.Knights shielded their faces from the searing heat. Several of the smaller cursed boars, already weakened by earlier attacks, were utterly incinerated in the Flame Storm’s fury.When the vortex of fire finally dissipated, they collapsed into piles of smoldering ash, their cursed life force snuffed out by overwhelming heat.Yet, incredibly, the largest boar remained standing—if only barely.It was a grotesque sight: most of its fur had burned away, revealing blackened, cracked flesh beneath. One of its tusks had shattered, and it wheezed with each labored breath.
CHAPTER 101: Road of Flames (2)
Seeing brute force alone failing to stop these creatures, Fu Rong knew she had to up the ante. She raised her oak staff—a beautifully carved rod tipped with a raw FireStone crystal—high above her head. Words of power flowed from her lips.“Dance of the Flame Serpents!” she incanted.At her command, the very ground beneath the boars crackled and then erupted. From the charred earth sprang forth serpentine tendrils of pure fire—each one a sinuous snake of flame as thick as a man’s arm.Hissing, they wove through the battlefront, coiling around the cursed boars and striking at their exposed flanks. One blazing serpent sank its fiery fangs into a boar’s side, causing the creature to shriek in pain as magical flames spread across its body.Another flame-serpent lacerated a second boar, leaving charred streaks across its hide. The air filled with the stench of burning fur and foul magic. Several of the smaller boars, overwhelmed by the combined assault of knights and fire magic, collapsed t
CHAPTER 100: Road of Flames (1)
The envoy of Yanling pressed onward day by day, forging a path toward Carosso’s imperial capital. The journey’s early stages carried them over steep mountain passes where the air was thin and crisp, then down into rolling foothills.They braved sprawling, sun-scorched plains that shimmered with heat by noon, and navigated winding routes through ancient forests where the sunlight barely pierced the canopy.Through it all, Princess Fu Rong remained the heart of the mission, her amber eyes alight with steadfast purpose as she led her people forward. Flanking her at almost all times were her devoted handmaiden Liuyue and the ever-vigilant Knight-Commander Leon. Diplomacy, danger, and destiny intertwined on this long road, and every member of the delegation knew the stakes.They expected difficulties—harsh weather, rough terrain, perhaps even bandits or wild beasts. But none of them expected the monstrous threat that lay in wait within the Ancient Emerald Forest.It happened on a late after

CHAPTER 98: Fire of Responsibility (1)
The first rays of sunrise gilded the volcanic peaks of Yanling in molten gold. Under the early morning sky, the usually ash-gray clouds were painted with hues of fiery orange. Far in the distance, smoke curled lazily from an active caldera, a gentle reminder of the kingdom’s lifeblood—the FireStones buried deep in those mountains.In the palace courtyard below, a flurry of activity was underway. Envoys were double-checking scrolls and treaties, knights were inspecting weapons and armor, stablehands were preparing horses—everyone was busy making final preparations for a journey of unprecedented importance.Yet amid the hustle and clamor, Princess Fu Rong sat quietly on a balcony overlooking the grand courtyard. This was a rare moment of solitude snatched just before departure, and she savored the brief calm. Her golden hair cascaded over her sh
CHAPTER 97: Yanling
In the southeastern reaches of the continent, nestled amid a range of volcanic mountains, lay the kingdom of Yanling. It was a land both blessed and cursed by providence, for beneath its soil rested a rare and coveted resource: FireStones.These magical stones brimmed with inner heat and power. To Yanling, they were more than mere commodities—they were the lifeblood of the realm’s prosperity and a cornerstone of civilization itself. FireStones could amplify fire magic to awe-inspiring levels, forge superior enchanted weapons, and provide warmth against even the most bitter cold.Thanks to this bounty, Yanling had grown into an economic powerhouse, its coffers filled by trade and its cities warmed by ever-glowing embers. Yet with great prosperity came a long, dark shadow.To the distant north loomed the Perpetual Winter Kingdom of Shuanglin, where icy winds howled across a frozen tundra—and envious eyes had long been fixed on Yanling’s blazing riches.While Yanling basked in the glow o
