Chapter 320 Alarm (4000)
Duke Erwin showed a sarcastic smile.
He sat back in his chair, looked at the nervous Emma Lubelle, and then at Helot, and said arrogantly: "I've been confused these days, my daughter is too honest. , and she was sent to the iceberg snow peak obediently. This is not the Snow Princess I know, so I came here specially. Now it seems that my guess is correct. You have a complete plan to escape.
Southerners, say your name, and I will add you to the list of executions after the wedding.”
Helot arranged his clothes, and then saluted Duke Erwin: “ My name is Helot Claude. Nice to meet you, Uncle Erwin..."
The smile on Duke Erwin's face immediately tightened. He looked at Emmalu Bailey again and stood up immediately after receiving a look of affirmation. He tidied his clothes first, and then returned the gift to Helot: "I am very happy to hear that the Claude family has returned to the Covenant City. I just didn't expect that you would visit the icebergs and snow peaks in this way. Welcome to come, in Egypt. Since the Erwin family returned to the icebergs and snowy peaks, they have never entertained such a distinguished guest as you.”
Duke Erwin is very conservative, and when faced with the visit of the Claude family, he treats himself as an equal. courtesy.
Helot learned from Melis that her father was a very traditional nobleman, and meeting him for the first time was indeed like walking out of a history book. No wonder Northern Xinjiang was like a living history under his rule.
“Coming to Northern Xinjiang this time is a temporary decision of mine. Because Her Royal Highness Princess Emmalu Bailey is my assistant officer, and there has been no news of her returning to the Covenant City after she returned to Northern Xinjiang, so I came Visit her to see if she has encountered any unsolvable difficulties."
Hilot's words were tactful, but you could hear the thorns in them.
Isn’t the dilemma facing Princess Emmalu Bailey that she is under house arrest?
Duke Erwin motioned to Emmalu Bailey to bring a chair for Herot. The princess's room was very simple, far less luxurious than living in a snow castle, and the chairs were just ordinary wooden chairs.
The fireplace is also an ordinary fireplace. Although the fire inside is burning brightly, the room is still very cold.
Duke Erwin sat down. He could give Claude the courtesy he deserved, but that didn’t mean he would let Herot accuse him.
"This is a family matter for our Erwin family. I welcome you to attend the wedding of my daughter and Paniel, but please do not do anything that will bring shame to the Erwin family."
Herot assumed the posture of the head of the Claude family: "Princess Emmalu Bailey is the Snow Princess canonized by His Majesty, and he personally appointed her as my assistant. Her Highness the Princess's marriage is not just a matter for the Erwin family. , I don’t want to see my subordinates reduced to a fertility machine with a lifespan of only one year!”
Duke Erwin frowned: “You know everything?”
Hai Lot replied: "When Priest Sander used witch doctor skills to summon the polar fire-marked fox to save His Highness, I happened to be standing next to him."
Duke Erwin looked at Emmalu Bailey again, and then Said to Herot: "This is her destiny. Since life has to end, it is better to give birth to a child and add a highly talented warrior to the polar plateau."
"Father..." Emmalu Bailey was about to speak for herself, but felt her father's stern gaze and shut her mouth.
Herot said on behalf of Emma Lubeli: "This is just the fate you gave her!"
"No, this is her responsibility as a member of the Erwin family. Even the emperor has no power. Interference. And you..." Duke Erwin stared at Herot: "Why did you take her away from the iceberg and snow peak, and why did you change her fate?"
Emma Lubeli also looked at Herot? Special, waiting for his answer.
Helot straightened his back and was about to answer, when suddenly the door was pushed open, and the guard who came in shouted: "Your Majesty, a large number of unidentified armed men are approaching from the south side of the castle. Many of them drive war machines..."
South side of the castle!
Isn't it under the iceberg and snow peaks?
Why are there unknown armed men approaching from that direction!
......
Breshini has been trapped in the earth's fire magma for three days, and all the exits that can be found are closely guarded. All these northern Xinjiang people distributed weapons. Judging from the number, it was obvious that they were going to launch a large-scale war.
And Bresini also saw a lot of military war machinery, and most of the people driving the war machinery were southerners.
Bresini followed Helot and had some knowledge of machinery. She could tell that these war machines were all newly built, not even painted, and the shiny metal was exposed to the air. Most war machines are equipped with barrels and gun barrels that exceed the standard, which obviously abandons some of the melee functions and comprehensively enhances long-range firepower output, especially the ability to attack difficult targets.
It can be judged from this that there is a large arsenal somewhere in the earth's fire magma.
It's just that Bresini didn't find the location of the arsenal. The fire element inside the earth's fire magma is very active, which is a very harsh environment for vampires. Moreover, she has to hide herself well and cannot easily hunt and suck blood, causing her body to become weaker and weaker.
So Bresini spent most of her time turning into a bat and hiding in the slightly cooler rock crevices, waiting for a chance to escape.
Three days later, the army stationed in the geothermal magma finally moved.
Someone moved boxes to distribute magic scrolls, and each soldier could be assigned an offensive magic and a defensive magic. Then it was time to fill the war machine with ammunition, and the additional auxiliary ammunition boxes were also filled.
As the command was given, all the troops entered the passage and marched upward.
Breshny found an opportunity to fly behind a war machine and hid her body in the gap of the gun case. The hot metal made Breshny feel like she was about to be roasted.
Fortunately, as we traveled, the temperature became colder and colder, and the wind blew in the snowflakes.
The war machine became cold again, and Bresini was shivering from the cold. She kept moving her body to prevent herself from being stuck to the metal.
The army came out of the cave and immediately marched towards the mountain.
Breshini quietly poked her head out to observe the surroundings, and was immediately startled by the size of this army.
This mountainous area is full of densely packed human heads, and there are hundreds of war machines by sight. Moreover, people and war machines kept coming out of the cave entrance and joining the army marching up the mountain.
Whose army are they?
What do they want to do?
Bresini looked down the mountain and saw Snow City, and also saw the continuous bonfires outside Snow City. She didn't know what she should do now, whether to follow this army to explore their purpose, or to return to the snow castle to report to the master.
After repeated consideration, Bresini decided to continue the latent investigation. After all, the target of this army is the ice castle on the top of the iceberg and snow peak, not the snow castle where the owner is.
Only by figuring out what this army is can the master make a correct judgment based on complete intelligence.
As the altitude increased, the snowy peaks became colder and colder. Breshni's body became stiff, but she did not dare to use magic to relieve it. This is the center of the army, and any strange fluctuations in magic power may expose you.
She moved her body with difficulty, crawling on the war machine body, getting closer to the cockpit little by little.
Then put your ears close to the bone-chilling shell and listen carefully to every sound coming from inside.
The pilot in the cockpit is using the same frequency communication worm to communicate with nearby war machines. However, it is interfered by the rotation of the wheels and the movement of the machine body, so it is difficult to distinguish what is said inside.
But one of the words instantly made Bresini's spirit tense.
The executioner!
Could this army be formed by the torturers?
Bresini looked up and could already vaguely see the ice castle on the top of the mountain. Then she noticed that the light inside the ice castle was very bright, which was not a normal phenomenon. All supplies in the ice castle need to be transported from the bottom of the mountain up, so the Erwin family is very frugal and will not be extravagant or wasteful. Such a strong light in the ice castle represents a huge consumption of fuel, and for the Erwin family to light so many fires, something big must have happened.
The recent big event in the Erwin family...isn't it the wedding of Princess Emmalu Bailey and Panier?
Looking at the fire outside the snow city at the foot of the mountain, it shows that the northern Xinjiang villages are also using precious fuel to celebrate.
Princess Emmalu Bailey is in the ice castle, and the master must be in the ice castle too!
Bresini made a judgment that scared her. The army of the Tormentor organization was going to attack the ice castle. The master was in danger!
Breshini immediately transformed into a human form, threw out a flying knife and shot all the surrounding northern Xinjiang guards to the ground, then drew out the sword and stabbed it into the cockpit of the war machine.
The pilot was stabbed through the chest by a sword, and was instantly killed by the implosion of magic power. The war machine stopped on the spot.
Breshini opened the cockpit door from the outside, pulled out the pilot's body and threw it out, then sat inside.
There was no time to close the hatch, so Bresini opened it directly.
At this time, the nearby soldiers noticed what was happening here. When they saw someone falling, they rushed over to see what happened.
Breshni activated all the weapon systems of the war machine, the barrels and barrels were flattened, and the body rotated in place.
Tons of flame erupted from the barrel and barrel of the gun.
“Da da da da da da…”
“Boom, boom, boom…”
In order to break through the defense of the snow castle as quickly as possible, the torturer gave up many of the performance of the war machine and stacked the firepower indicators to the maximum. Shoot out more bullets and cannonballs at once, and rush into the ice castle in one wave.
Therefore, the firepower of the war machine that Bresini grabbed was extremely fierce, and it created a metal storm for a while.
The unsuspecting soldiers from Northern Xinjiang were interrupted by bullets and then blown to pieces by machine guns.
A wall of snow was raised on the snow.
In just ten seconds, Bresini fired all the ammunition in the receiver, and the sound spread to the ice castle.
For the ice castle, the north side faces the polar plateau, which is the direction from which the cold demon attacks. Even the princess wedding is heavily guarded. The south side is the rear, where there are no enemies. There are usually only a small number of watchmen to manage the transportation of materials and the entry and exit of personnel.
It's night now, and tomorrow is the princess' wedding. Everyone is very busy, and there are no guards on the south side. Even if he did, he would be dragged to drink by the Skovo family.
So the torturer's army was very close to the ice castle and was still not noticed by the people inside the castle.
But the sound of gunfire broke the tranquility on the south side of the ice castle.
Someone followed the sound and climbed up the south wall, and saw a magic firework rising and exploding. Under the bright light of the fireworks, he saw the dark army on the snow rushing towards the ice castle.
"Alarm bell! Sound the alarm! Report to the Duke that unknown armed men are approaching from the south side of the ice castle."
Even if he saw the army, the watchman did not dare to judge that the other party was an enemy.
The alarm bell is ringing in the ice castle!
The first direction everyone looked was to the north. Is the cold demon attacking?
In the princess's bedroom, Duke Erwin couldn't believe it when he heard unknown armed men approaching from the south side of the castle.
"Is someone playing a prank? Those children are becoming more and more lawless!"
The guard replied firmly: "Your Majesty the Duke! They are indeed armed men with unknown intentions, and they are obviously hostile..."
Duke Erwin frowned. He couldn't figure out how there could be enemies coming up from the south.
Is it an attack by the Imperial Army?
Unlikely!
Now is the freezing season, and the imperial army is unable to silently pass through the snowfields of northern Xinjiang, let alone bypass the snow city and attack the ice castle.
Duke Erwin stood up: "Let's go and see who it is!"
Helot stopped Duke Erwin and said to the guard: "You go out first."
The guard did not move, waiting for Duke Erwin's instructions.
Princess Emmalu Bailey said to the guard: "You come out with me and wait."
Duke Erwin nodded, and the guard followed Emmalu Bailey out of the room and closed the door.
"Do you know what happened?" Duke Erwin asked.
Helot knew that time was running out and said quickly: "On my way to Northern Xinjiang, I found someone selling high-end machine tool parts. During the few days in Snow Castle, I discovered that in recent years, Northern Xinjiang There was a sudden increase in the number of bandits. They raided many villages and turned the strong men into slaves, but the number of slaves in the market did not increase much.
My men found a large number of northerners in an underground fire magma. The people and the armored bears were enslaved to mine the ores."
This information made Duke Erwin tense up, and he asked: "What do you want to tell me?"
"I can't make an accurate judgment yet. Are you the person behind these things?"
"Is what you said true?"
"Of course it is. Really." Helot said: "And... I think you can also detect the changes in the Scovo family over the years."
Duke Erwin did not dare to stay here, he walked quickly. Go to the door, open it and go out and shout loudly: "The enemy is coming from the south side of the castle! The watchmen of the Ice Castle gather to fight! All the knights of the Ice Knights, the only task I give you is to watch over the Skovo family around you. Don’t let them move.
If they move... kill them!”
Duke Erwin walked towards the main castle hall, and thick ice formed wherever he passed. A broad-edged ice sword solidified in his hand, and layers of ice armor covered his body.
Emma Lubeli followed her father, her hair turned into ice crystal color and she was holding an ice sword.
Turn around and said to Herot: "Don't stop me. This is my responsibility as the daughter of Duke Erwin..."
The explosion came from the direction of the main hall and the castle shook. .
The war has begun!
