Lola's unusual demeanor did not go unnoticed by Reign and his team. She seemed anxious, constantly glancing around as if expecting trouble. Her voice quivered as she greeted them, and it was clear that something was amiss.

"Is everything alright, Lola?" Reign asked concern etched on his face. "You seem on edge. Is there something we should be aware of?"

Lola took a deep breath, her expression a mixture of relief and nervousness. "I'm sorry, but there's been an unexpected development. The Ice Angels' territory is currently facing a significant threat, and we'll need your help before we can proceed with the portal construction."

Reign's brows furrowed. "What kind of threat are they facing? Can you give us more details?"historical

"Well, the call it 'unexpected' would not be that right, we have been facing the same issue for quite some time, but it was just never this dangerous," Lola said before taking a deep breath

Lola glanced at them. "It's a coalition of rogue players from various territories who have banded together to attack the Ice Angels. They're well-organized and highly motivated. We received word that they're closing in on the Ice Angels' main base as we speak."

Reign exchanged glances with his team, understanding the gravity of the situation. A threat to the Ice Angels' territory was a threat to their alliance, and they couldn't allow it to go unanswered.

"We'll help the Ice Angels defend their territory," Reign declared firmly. "Lead the way, Lola."

With Lola as their guide, the group quickly set out towards the Ice Angels' territory. Along the way, they discussed their strategy. Lola provided them with vital information about the attackers, including their numbers and known leaders. It was evident that this would be a challenging battle.

"Those bastards have been attacking us for months, but most of the attacks were nothing more than annoyances in the past as they would simply come to cause trouble before quickly running away, they never dared go against Mia or any of the other high-leveled combatants of the party."

"Some of the groups that had been present in the challenges are amongst them, so they knew just how powerful we are, I never expected them, who always fought against each other as well, to suddenly join forces to attack us, compared to them, our numbers are simply lacking by too much."

"Our territory isn't that large, we only have about 2000 people in it, and most of them are not combatants, other than our group, there are only about 150 more fighters, but those bastards have over 200 fighters each, and right now, I was notified that a total of 7 groups have joined forces."

"From my understanding, only two have reached Tier V, and they have done it barely, while only Mia has reached that realm on our side, we are outnumbered greatly, and even the defenses that we have placed in the territory won't be enough to keep us safe," Lola said as the entire group speed through the forest.

They could use Beast's flying mounts, but they wouldn't really go that much faster since they were more powerful than the beasts, they were planning on using the beasts when reaching the hills and mountains in order to quickly get past them.

The trip, which should have taken them 2 hours, only took about 1 hour and 20 minutes as they had run with all of their might.

From the information Lola had given them, they knew that the situation was dire and that the angels couldn't defend themselves for a long period of time.

As they approached the Ice Angels' territory, the signs of the impending conflict became more apparent. Scorch marks and signs of battle were visible along the outskirts, and the tension in the air was palpable. Reign and the others were fully prepared to slaughter their way through the enemy army, but there was nobody present.

They quickly reached the area that was shielded by a barrier that the Ice Angels had constructed, and outside of it, they found a group of 50 people, most of whom were Tier III, while some were Tier IV.

"Look at these idiots, they think those chicks stand a chance, hahahahahah!" One of the men said as he pointed at the people inside the barrier.

"Yeah, like they will be able to go against all of our guys, they should have done their best to wait inside, maybe we would have gotten bored and left, but they actually agreed to go out and face us in the forest!"

"And they did it because we promised not to touch these guys!" A third person said as he laughed full-heartedly, but just as they were about to speak again, they froze as powerful auras appeared from the back.

Sweat dripped down their faces as they turned around, only to see Reign and the others standing behind them.I think you should take a look at

"We only need the Tier IVs, the others are useless." Reign spoke with a cold tone before moving at the same time as the others.

The party of 50 men was decimated, their numbers lowered to 4 men in only 15 seconds. The corpses of their comrades were scattered on the ground as Reign stared at the four men who were left, one of them was shaking heavily as he stared at Reign and the others.

"W- Why are you guys here, this isn't your territory, you have nothing to do with this!"

"Oh, so you know us?" Reign asked as the man opened his mouth, but was unable to speak.

"You have a minute to tell me what is going on." Reign said before glancing at Lola.

"Lola, Beast will go in with you, make the portal, and call M'azgara, I want her elites to join us right away, the other guys don't need to come, we are more than enough to deal with the enemy."

Lola nodded at Reign before quickly entering the barrier with Beast and constructing the portal while the four men spoke to Reign and the others. Upon learning that Reign and the others were the 'Heaven's Hooligans', the group that had been above every other group in the past before suddenly not appearing in the challenges again, they got terrified and told them everything they knew, which made them faces of Reign and the others darken.

"Let's go, we can't waste any more time!" Laura said as Reign nodded before his eyes flashed purple and the souls of the four men were taken from them. The portal was constructed and flashed as Beast came out with M'azgara's elites.

They all nodded at each other before running toward the forest, as for Lola, she was left in the territory to make sure none of the people present would do anything stupid like trying to go after them to help, which could make things more difficult for Reign and the others.

Deep inside the forest, in a clearing that was hundreds of meters wide, Mia and the rest of the Ice Angels were standing as an army of over a thousand men surrounded them.

Just as they were talking, Mia's eyes fluttered for a moment as a notification appeared in front of her.

[ Heaven's Hooligans are proposing an alliance and are requesting to build a portal in your territory, do you accept? ]

[ The Ice Angels and Heaven's Hooligans have become allies. ]

The entire group that was together with Mia widened their eyes and smiled briefly before looking straight forward and glaring at a person who was hugging a man who was staring back at them with a gleeful smile.

"We have fought alongside each other for months, we trusted you, thought of you as a sister, and this is how you pay us back, Liona?!" Marcus, one of the strongest people after Mia, shouted at Liona, one of their members that mere minutes ago walked straight toward one of the enemy leaders who was a Tier V combatant before leaving their group and allowing the Ice Angels to discover that she was a traitor.

For the last couple of weeks, she had actually been working together with the enemy and was a lover of one of the two most powerful leaders, the leader of the Blood Angels.

Out of the 7 groups that joined them, the two most powerful were the Blood Angels and the Dark Scythe, two groups that had been quite highly ranked in the previous challenges.

Liona, the fiery hothead that had clashed with Shadow multiple times during the second challenge when the two teams had joined forces was actually a traitor.

"You guys really are annoying, you have no idea how much willpower it took for me to actually act like a moron that liked you guys, every single one of you, always praising miss ice queen over there, acting like she is a goddess that took pity in you."

"Honestly, ever since the very beginning, you guys disgusted me, but you were the best choice, the best team I could join, so I pushed through until I finally got the chance to get rid of you morons," Liona said as a wry smile appeared on her face.
