"What do you all think?"
After the old woman spoke, Rica looked around and softly said, "Is there any objection to preparing the full force for war?"
Everyone looked at each other, and eventually, they all agreed.
"Prepare for war! We are also part of the Great Wilderness!"
"We must not be outdone by other city halls!"
"War, war, war!"
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
...
Everyone voiced their opinions, expressing their willingness to join the war.
Rica nodded slightly, then continued to speak:
"Fear, anger, disappointnt, indifference..."
"These are the emotions that intelligent beings should have. I also understand your worries and fears."
"But..."
Rica lightly sighed, "You all know this war cannot be decided by the Great Wilderness or the Abyss alone; what Lin Ke is doing is the optimal solution."
Though everyone was unsure of their inner thoughts, they nodded in understanding.
"If that's the case, let's give our all in trade and production. Our specialty in Forest City... is nature."
Forest City's most important aspect is trade, and it is one end of the trade line.
The other end is Great Wilderness City.
As the starting and ending points of the trade, the trade line between these two cities revitalized other territories along the line.
As a super-large city north of Naseng, closest to the Elental Forest, Forest City also stimulates the economy northward, including the Eternal Freeze Court.
The core north of Naseng has gradually shifted from the Eternal Freeze Court to Forest City.
"Ma'am, I must ask..."
At this ti, the old woman pondered, "When will the Grand Duke return? Also, should we use our power to sway the Eternal Freeze Court and align our destinies?"
"Yes, go all out and contact the major mbers of the Eternal Freeze Court, as well as the northern Willow Clan, Maple Clan, and Black Snow Clan..."
After speaking, Rica sighed, "Lin Ke needs to stay on the battlefield; the situation there is critical, everyone..."
She again looked around, eting everyone's gaze, then spoke, "Perhaps the final mont has arrived, whether it be the demise of Horus or our own des..."
Before the word "demise" was finished, Rica suddenly frowned and couldn't help but gently touch her belly.
The next mont, a tiny yet loud sound echoed in her ear.
"Thump!"
"Thump, thump!"
"Thump!"
Like flas birthing from a spark, like an ocean originating from a brook, like brilliance dazzling from starlight...
A boundless vitality surged forth, beginning to germinate in Rica's abdon.
Rica's unusual reaction caught the attention of others.
"Ma'am, were you about to say our demise?" soone inquired, since Rica hadn't finished speaking.
"No, silence." Raising her hand, Rica stopped everyone, beginning to sense again.
Gradually, she perceived a new life gestating inside, carrying the essence of both her and Lin Ke.
She was pregnant.
Rica's heart was instantly engulfed by imnse joy, dispelling the shadows of war.
A progeny!
She and Lin Ke had a progeny!
Just then, before she could react, several figures suddenly appeared at the scene.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
One after another, these figures appeared consecutively.
The elders of Forest City, who were in the eting, stood up in shock, rendered speechless by the sight.
But the next mont, they were overwheld by an uncontrollable, powerful aura that pinned them to the ground.
"Rica, a new bloodline!"
"You've birthed a bloodline, a new bloodline!"
"The Gula Clan shall finally have a new mber!"
"We must tell Father and Mother."
"With Lin Ke's bloodline, it will be imnsely powerful..."
These individuals were either radiating brilliance, or flowing like water, or enshrouded in darkness, yet without exception, they were all formidable beings of level twenty or above.
Deities and Legends!
"Big Brother, Big Sister?"
Rica stood up joyfully.
The newcors were none other than the Eldest Prince, Second Prince, and other siblings of Rica's.
Also present were the Lady of Tides, the Mist Demoness, and others.
"Rica, you've worked hard all these years," the Lady of Tides embraced Rica warmly, full of kindness, "I'm sorry for missing out on those years."
"Big Sister." Rica embraced the Lady of Tides happily.
The Eldest Prince and others retracted their auras, allowing those around to stand up and relax.
The twelve children of the Insomnia Emperor were all gathered, the reason being Rica's pregnancy.
Yet they barely had ti to exchange pleasantries before the sky changed once more, with wind, water, sand, plants, and countless elents beginning to cheer and rejoice.
"Buzz——"
Once again, the air vibrated as one space rift after another appeared high in the sky.
Soon, figures of every age stepped out from within.
The Mountain Duke, Green Leaf Duke, Evil Eagle Duke, Hurricane Duke, Elental Duke, Thunder Duke, Giant Dragon Duke.
Seven Grand Dukes appeared together, all looking at Rica.
"Rica, congratulations." The Green Leaf Duke, with his cane of branches and vines, appeared kind and amiable like a regular grandparent.
"Haha, I knew that Lin Ke kid could damn well do it, haha, damn it, damn it, hahaha." The Hurricane Duke laughed heartily, cursing joyfully.
"Rica, be careful." The usually cold Elental Duke spoke with a cold face, golden hair wildly flowing, "With the Duke of Lava absent, there's no protection, be careful of a miscarriage."
She didn't seem happy and spoke harsh words.
"I think unless Naseng is destroyed, Little Lica will be safe," the Mountain Duke snorted coldly, "If that Deep Blue guy dares to return, I'll kill him, then beat him up."
"You got it wrong." The Giant Dragon Duke, with clearly visible scales, grinned widely, revealing sharp teeth: "But I like it."
The highest combat strength of Naseng, the Dominators!
The elders of Forest City were stunned, speechless, and immobile.
Dominators!
Not to ntion the Dominators, even the legends and deities around Rica could settle them with a finger.
Rica understood their awkwardness, so she spoke, "Everyone, you may leave now, and promptly begin our asures."
The elders promptly retreated to prepare for their respective tasks.
The Mountain Duke and others transported Rica to the depths of the Abyss.
"Rica, until your father's return, we will prepare everything for you and the new little one... Yes, nutrition, my wife is recently studying for a nutrition degree."
The Mountain Duke's confident voice echoed in the depths of the Abyss.
...
anwhile, on the distant battlefield, Lin Ke suddenly looked up.
"What... is this feeling?"
