Outside Ice Peak City, amidst a forest manor.
The winter in Dillon Kingdom was incredibly cold, and few people chose to move around outside of residential areas.
The chilly weather and the knee-deep snow made it difficult to communicate with the outer world. In case of danger or attacks from magic beasts, one would truly be in a desperate situation.
Thus, these manors outside the city were generally only frequented by nobles and wealthy merchants for leisure and vacation during the summer.
But at this moment, this spacious and ornately decorated manor was bustling with noise, presenting a scene of busy activity.
Servants and attendants were tidying up the manor, craftsmen were transforming it into a war fortress, and guards were clearing the snow, diligently patrolling the outskirts of the estate, carefully inspecting every potential danger.
