Chapter 370 - 172 Anuka: You must bear his child, it will surely be the strongest Snow Wolf (Riwan)
In Muxue Castle, Aux gazed at the partially collapsed Lord Mansion with a face full of sorrow. A lament for his own weakness filled him with annoyance at his past listlessness.
"Why did I spend so much energy on such useless matters in the past? Why didn’t I think to improve my strength a little more?"
"If only I had been a bit stronger, could I have changed something?"
He still couldn’t believe that his family’s most trusted ancestor had been defeated by a youth even younger than himself.
Though it could be said that there was an element of surprise in the attack, his ancestor was a chosen one!
By the time he was struck down into the ruins of the Lord Mansion by such a young man, he had already lost.
Because he knew that, even his ancestor couldn’t win against that Magic Monarch. He wouldn’t even dare to harbor thoughts of revenge but would cautiously avoid any opportunity that might lead to the Luxius Monarch killing him.
With this in mind, Aux’s eyes were filled with desolation. At his young age, he suddenly felt a deep sense of helpless sorrow.
The holy Briania had always proclaimed to its allies that "the glorious era belonging to the Bell Federation is coming to an end," but... when would their own Half-life’s era of glory arrive?
Will he still have a chance to witness such a day?
"Lord of Muxue, although I am sorry, this time please be patient and do not give the Bell Federation a chance to counterattack, you have been too impulsive!"
A somewhat hunchbacked dwarf stood beside his own father, speaking solemnly.
These words instantly sparked boundless rage within Aux. He stood up, walked over, grabbed the dwarf by the collar, lifted him up, and cursed:
"It is you pack of jackals who wanted to bite flesh off others. Now that others have torn flesh from our bodies, you tell me to bear it in silence? What do you think we are? Your dwarven dogs?"
’Aren’t they?’ The thought flashed through the dwarf’s mind, but he smartly kept it unspoken. Instead, he looked coldly at the Lord of Muxue and said:
"Lord of Muxue, it seems your heir is a bit too agitated."
"Aux, you are being too rude, put your hand down."
The Lord of Muxue tiredly said, "Now lift your head and look at the sky, they have not left."
Aux instinctively looked up towards the Flying Boats hovering in the high skies, which had not departed.
In a daze, Aux again recalled the giant brandishing ice chasms from above the sky, a fearsome power known as the Magic Monarch—an existence he yearned for yet could never reach in his lifetime.
But why... @@novelbin@@
When the indifferent face of Luxius crossed his mind, what flashed through was sincere fear; he simply could not harbor any grievances against that Magic Monarch.
Because if he dared show it, he truly might die.
But why...
Kael’s visage flickered through his mind. Why was there such a being who entirely surpassed him in every aspect? He could even grievously wound an ancestor!
As he thought, a surge of envy rose in his heart.
But the next moment, he felt a sense of defeat... because that youth was really too powerful.
The dwarf sarcastically dusted off his sleeve as if to rid himself of some filth and laughed:
"Have you realized? From the very beginning, they didn’t come with good intentions. If you can hold back your anger, it’s not so easy for them to directly break through your defenses.

Half-life people are just like this, not even clear about what they should be doing..."
As he spoke, the dwarf remembered Aux’s bloodshot eyes when he grabbed his sleeve and was suddenly overwhelmed with intense shame, so he spoke even more eagerly:
"If you desperately resist, what awaits you is death. Believe me, the Bell Federation has experienced wars since its inception. Even if they talk about longing for peace now, essentially they are no different from other warmongers.
Do you think they got such a large territory by paying lip service? Do you believe that if we hadn’t arrived in time, what awaited you would be the destruction of Muxue Castle and the extinction of your family!"
The dwarf’s resounding voice made Aux involuntarily take a half step back.
But moments later, he came to his senses. The words of the dwarf made no sense.
They were the ones who provoked the disaster, they were the ones who asked Muxue Castle to lay down its anger, and yet they reaped all the benefits, leaving the honest ones who protected their territory to suffer the losses.
Of course, Aux never pondered, what exactly did "they" protect? Was it the pitiful Half-life who toiled day and night at the docks, exhausted from overwork? Or the ordinary Half-life he would never glance at before?
All he could see was that tiny world of the Lord Mansion.
What he valued was the control his family held over Muxue Castle. What he feared was seeing his family’s status crumble amidst the war, the city his family managed destroyed in an instant, and everything he had grasped vanishing into thin air.
"Aux, stop speaking. We lost. Remember this scene well. Our current plight, this downfall, is also related to our insufficient strength. It’s useless to say any more."
What do you think?
