Chapter 607 - 607 605 Star Attraction Array (Additional

Chapter 607: Chapter 605: Star Attraction Array (Additional Release, Seeking Monthly Pass) Chapter 607: Chapter 605: Star Attraction Array (Additional Release, Seeking Monthly Pass) Russell moved away from the vicinity, and after scanning the area, Shuang He also stopped and continued to sit cross-legged on the shoulders of the Snow Giant, supervising the Snow Trolls in constructing the “Megalithic Array.”

This allowed Russell to breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as they didn’t approach within a kilometer of Shuang He, their presence, he and Polly’s, would basically remain undetected, and they could safely observe what they were doing.

From day to night.

Russell kept vigil without pause, trying to decipher the significance behind their construction of the “Megalithic Array.” Along the way, he even spotted Viscount Fred, who had come to spy on the situation, and had Viscount Fred leave first.

His presence here was sufficient.

By nighttime, he finally detected a clue—it was when Shuang He began to inspect the “Megalithic Array.”

It directed the Snow Giants to align the stone pillars that the Snow Trolls had piled up, and during the alignment, it intermittently glanced at the sky.

The sky was overcast, without a star in sight, yet it seemed as if it could lock onto a particular star.

Using this star, it completed the delicate adjustments to the “Megalithic Array.”

“Polly, what do you think is the purpose behind its actions?” Russell deliberated with Polly in their minds.

Polly replied, “I feel like it’s observing the Frost Star in the sky. Can it see the position of Frost Star through the clouds?”

“I’m not sure, but I believe it is watching the Frost Star. Shuang He must be able to sense the position of Frost Star’s orbit. Moreover, today is the day Frost Star just transits the sun, and Shuang He is undertaking this massive construction project here without a doubt there’s significance behind it.”

“Is it some kind of ritual?”

“Very likely.” Russell’s gaze was sharp as he watched Shuang He, and even in the night, he could still see clearly.

Shuang He meticulously adjusted the orientation of each pillar, ensuring that a protuberance on top of each pillar precisely aligned with a specific direction in the sky. This activity lasted for half the night before Shuang He and the Snow Trolls started to rest.

However, they rested right beside the stone pillars, and as soon as Russell approached within a kilometer radius, Shuang He reacted, preventing Russell from advancing further.

“It’s very vigilant; it seems a sneak attack is out of the question.” Russell had no choice but to give up, and he immediately called Sonbra, utilizing the Quiet Dream teleportation, and returned to the Molten Courtyard.

Mel was still awake, waiting.

Upon seeing Russell, he immediately inquired, “Your Grace, have you figured out the situation?”

“Yes, I’ve pretty much understood.” Russell carefully shared his findings with Mel, and at this moment, Viscount Fred also hurried over to listen to Russell’s description. “I believe this Megalithic Array is being constructed in preparation for the descent of Frost Star.”

“What do you mean, Your Grace?” Freler asked.

“My partner, Sonbra, you have seen its fixed magic, which can take me to different places through teleportation,” Russell said. “Perhaps this Megalithic Array has a similar effect, allowing Frost Snow Giants to teleport directly here, without having to descend in the form of a meteor shower.”

“Ah!” Fred said, suddenly becoming deeply worried, “If that is true, once the Megalithic Array is completed, our country will be utterly doomed.”

The refugee migration work was to start from this year’s Warm Season.

But this Megalithic Array would likely be completed in about a month, meaning by early April, before the ice period has ended, the array would be operational.

With Frost Snow Giants continuously teleporting in, the Molten Fire Duchy would have no power to resist.

“It’s not just the Molten Fire Duchy that will be doomed, but all of mankind will suffer a catastrophe.” Russell shook his head solemnly, “Therefore, the current plan, regardless of the Megalithic Array’s purpose, is to prevent its completion.”

He paused.

Russell then said, “Fred, you must immediately send out a Thunder Sound, alerting other nations, and also inquire if anyone knows the true purpose of this Megalithic Array… I do not believe Shuang He is the only one constructing a Megalithic Array.”

“Yes, Your Grace!” Fred nodded seriously, and with heavy steps, left the embassy.

Russell then turned to Mel, “Cousin, you should leave the Molten Fire Duchy as quickly as possible. The situation here is no longer under control.”

“There’s no rush, Your Grace. I’ll consider leaving once we get the feedback from the Thunder Sound of other nations. After all, having been here and having laid the groundwork for a long time for the relocation efforts, I don’t want it to fall through unless absolutely necessary.”

“Hmm.”

Russell was also covetous of the population of the Molten Fire Duchy and didn’t insist on Mel leaving but said, “Before things get truly dire, leave together with Fred… Fortunately, Fred’s wife and children have already set off early with the convoy and are almost reaching our country now.”

As early as during the Dragon Birth Festival, after telling Fred about the Fallen Bipedal Flying Dragons, Fred had secretly captured ten of the fallen creatures.

He dispatched his trusted knights to escort the Fallen Bipedal Flying Dragons to the Shadowflame Duchy.

He had also sent his wife and son to the Shadowflame Duchy, deciding to stay alone in the Molten Fire Duchy to preside over state affairs.

In fact.

The major nobles of the Molten Fire Duchy had already arranged for their relations to escape, and some nobles had even taken the lead to flee, completely disregarding the survival of their subjects.

…

Dawn rose from the east.

Viscount Fred, who had not slept all night, returned to the embassy and with a slight sigh of relief reported to Russell, “Your Highness, King Debuloye of the Pyro Lykin Kingdom has given a Thunder Sound reply, saying that this circle of megaliths is not a teleportation formation.”

“Oh, what is it then?”

“It’s a Star Attraction Array.”

“Star Attraction Array?” Russell was puzzled.

Fred explained, “King Debuloye said that Star Attraction Arrays have existed since ancient times, even during the period of the Holy Glint Empire. It is said that back then, the Snow Giants built many Star Attraction Arrays, but probably because they were ineffective, eventually, all of these arrays were abandoned.”

Now, with the appearance of Frost Star and thrice overpassing the sun, the Frost Giants had finally begun to rebuild the Star Attraction Arrays.

“According to King Debuloye’s speculation, the purpose of the Star Attraction Array should be to draw in the Frost Star, to hasten its descent,” said Fred. “The King’s meaning is, if possible, try to destroy the Star Attraction Array.”

“In that case, I understand.” Russell nodded.

Building might not be his forte, but when it came to destruction, he was an expert, “Don’t rush, let Shuang He build. The Star Attraction Array is so large, once half of it is built, I will secretly take action, ensuring their efforts are wasted.”

“I defer to Your Highness’s arrangements,” said Viscount Fred.

“Move the citizens close to the volcanoes, while the volcanoes still have a trace of deterrent power to shelter the people for a while longer,” Russell instructed before finishing a breakfast unique to the Molten Fire Duchy and quietly leaving.

Returning to Red Castle, after waiting a few days, he received Thunder Sounds from Thunder Sound Station at the northern border.

The secret mission from the Molten Fire Duchy had arrived.

Russell flew directly to the northern part of the border and met the secret mission in a Snow Forest near the border line.

Here, Thunder Sound Station was stationed, and in the future, the ice-under train would be built from here deep into the Snowfield, as far as possible, to improve the efficiency of refugee relocation.

The secret mission comprised of knights escorting the Fallen Bipedal Flying Dragon.

“Greetings to Your Highness!” The knights, of course, knew that their lord, Viscount Fred, had pledged allegiance to Russell, and they saluted him solemnly.

“Please, there’s no need for ceremony. Where are Lady Valaisa and Fuchs?” Russell inquired.

Soon, from the Thunder Sound Station, a young woman of regal bearing emerged, pulling along a child wrapped in a thick cotton coat.

“Lady Valaisa greets Your Highness,” the noblewoman immediately offered a kneeling salute to Russell, but he stopped her with a gentle gesture.

“There’s no need for such formalities, Lady Valaisa. Fred and I are not only sovereignties and subjects, but also friends,” Russell stepped forward. “Welcome to the Shadowflame Duchy, Lady Valaisa. This will be your and Flade’s new home. The land and title have all been prepared; please rest assured.”

“Fred trusts Your Highness, and Valaisa naturally leaves all to Your Highness’s decisions,” Lady Valaisa was a noblewoman who supported her husband.

She then tugged at the hand of the child with her.

The six or seven-year-old Fuchs Ronghuo immediately knelt on the ground, “Fuchs greets Your Grace the Grand Duke, wishing the Grand Duke to soon reach the pinnacle of the Way of the Knight!”

These words were clearly rehearsed beforehand.

But Russell was delighted to hear them, “Get up, Fuchs. You’re a good child. In the future, you will surely be a pillar of talent for my Shadowflame Duchy!”

After the pleasantries.

Russell did not stay long and signaled the knights to continue escorting Valaisa and her son to Red Castle, while he himself, lifting ten huge iron chests with elemental imbued body, took the lead and flew away from the northern border.

Little Fuchs, holding his mother’s hand, gaped at the receding silhouette of the Golden Thunder Knight.

Murmuring, “Mom, such a big and beautiful golden knight!”

“That is Your Grace the Grand Duke using his Divine Skills.”

“When I grow up, I want to use Divine Skills like the Grand Duke and become such a beautiful golden knight!” Fuchs declared loudly.
