Chapter 1327 - : City of White (4) (2/2)

As for Rhode, he was about to pass out from the sweet aroma that rushed straight into his brain.

Despite plenty of sweets here, the little queen looked really serious.

“Be careful, those guys are scary. We need to be wary!”

On their way here earlier, Rhode heard from the little queen about these enemies that had taken over Candy Mountain. They were so powerful that there was no way for the guards of the candy city to drive them away. Not only that, but the number of these invaders was also increasing, and eventually, the little queen had to evacuate with her subjects. They were only able to gather some ingredients from around Candy Mountain to make food, which was why they didn’t have enough food to share with the giant. After all, the giant’s appetite was too large for an average person to handle.

“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!”

Just as the little queen’s voice sounded, all of a sudden they heard sharp squeaks. Shortly after, Rhode was surprised to see nearly a hundred huge mice running down from Candy Mountain and blocking their path. They were like personifications of animals in fairy tales, wearing human-like clothes, and having sharp claws on their two front paws that glinted icy-cold light. They squinted their small eyes at the group of people before them, and one of them who seemed like the leader screeched.

“Get out, get out! This place is ours, ours! Everything here belongs to us!”

In response to the mouse’s squeaks, the little queen took two steps forward, puffed out her chest, and raised her head to glare at them in discontent.

“Well, you’re the ones who should leave! This place is ours. You stole our land and we won’t let up!”

As the little queen said, she raised her hand and swung it forward with force.

“Onward, my loyal guards! Defeat these invaders and take back our Candy Mountain!”

“Oooooh!”

Upon hearing the little queen’s words, the guards behind her yelled immediately. They raised their candy spears and charged at the mice in front of them. Soon, both sides entered a battle. Although they fought fiercely, the battle wasn’t realistic at all. Rhode was initially a little worried that there would be spraying blood and flesh like in reality. But soon, he found out that Celia’s mental world was still a childish place, after all. And although it looked like both sides were fighting fiercely, no lives were taken at all. The mice’s claws, which looked sharp enough to tear through delicate skin as if they were made of film, didn’t rip through at all. And naturally, the angels’ weapons made of candy didn’t hurt the mice much when they hit them. And those who were defeated didn’t turn into corpses, but just disappeared with a soft bam… At that moment, Rhode finally understood why the little queen hadn’t driven the nest of mice out of Candy Mountain yet. With this kind of fight, it would be strange if they could defeat them…

But this time, the little queen had a secret weapon. After seeing that her subordinates couldn’t support her any longer, she crossed her arms and shouted loudly.

“Come on out!”

Boom!

With the little queen’s call, the giant came out from the back. According to Rhode and the little queen’s plan, they hid the giant in the back for the finale. And now, when the giant heard the little queen calling for her to make an appearance, she didn’t hesitate in the slightest. She sauntered forward and entered the battlefield quickly. Upon seeing the towering giant in front of them, the mice were bewildered. They had never seen such a huge person. At that moment, the mice weren’t as ferocious as before anymore.

The battle reversed instantly. In the face of the giant, there was nothing the mice that were as tall as a full-grown man could do. And every time the giant raised her arm, she swept away a large nest of them. After a short while, the mice retreated hurriedly, never to be seen again.

“Yay!”

Witnessing the mice leaving Candy Mountain desperately, the little queen raised her hands high in excitement and cheered. And along with her action, the guards around her also raised their arms and celebrated the victory. After their cheering, the little queen didn’t forget who helped her to victory. She ran up to the giant, gazed at her with a smile and bowed.

“Thank you very much. If it weren’t for your help, we wouldn’t have been able to reclaim Candy Mountain at all. I declare that from now on, you are a citizen of our country! An honorable citizen!”

“Really? That’s great!”

Upon hearing the little queen’s words, the giant cried out in excitement. Looking at this scene before him, which was like the end of a fairy tale, Rhode felt relieved.

It should end now, right?

But when this thought cropped up in Rhode’s head, a dazzling brilliance flashed by his vision.

“———!”

A bright and dazzling light streaked across the sky like a meteor, before striking the giant heavily. The giant didn’t expect this ambush in the slightest and fell to the ground immediately. This scene stunned the cheering little queen and guards and left them at a loss. Just as everyone was bewildered, a serious and earnest voice sounded all of a sudden.

“It ends here! You guys are taking it too far!”

Along with this voice, an angel wielding a sword of light and clad in golden armor that was shrouded in glorious brilliance slowly descended from the sky. With a serious expression, she gazed at the crowd below her. Her entire body exuded an incomparably strong and substantial aura that was almost overwhelming to them.

Celia.

The moment Rhode saw the battle angel, he confirmed that this person was truly the Celia that he knew.

It looked like the rightful owner finally made her appearance.
