Chapter 281: Cause
The city of Conyounis looked a little uneasy in the night, after all, the series of astonishing scenes and huge explosions coming from the northwest corner were enough to terrify everyone, and after the blood-colored fireworks went off, Zack Payne, as a wartime garrison, led part of the garrison to take over the city's defense.

Despite their caution, the garrison did not meet the expected invasion, and although they could not see clearly from the wall to the northwest corner, they knew that it was the source of the unrest tonight.
Soon after the sound of the explosion and the dazzling light returned to calm, the heavily guarded city gate welcomed a group of uninvited guests, which could not help but make the guards guarding the city gate nervously hold their breath and stare at the comers.
Bowing their heads and saying nothing, the Ice Witch Taliskov and the others who were moving all the way also discovered this situation at this moment, obviously the garrison officer on the opposite side did not receive the news that they were allowed to leave, and their group rashly broke into the gate of this heavily guarded city, how could they not be treated as a target.
Fortunately, the wartime garrison officer Genic Payne, who was guarding the city gate, did not immediately order an attack, otherwise, with the current state of the Ice Witch Taliskov and others, they would not have been able to get out safely, but their rash intrusion also caused the soldiers in front of the city gate to draw their weapons one after another, staring at them fiercely, slowly gathering over, and the collision was about to erupt.
Looking at the soldiers who were slowly gathering with her eyebrows, the ice witch Taliskov raised the staff in her hand without showing weakness, about to teach the soldiers who came up a lesson, but at this moment, a cold air flashed in the air, the temperature plummeted a lot, and a figure appeared above her head.
Looking up, the Ice Witch Taliskov breathed a sigh of relief.
"Grandfather!"
Looking down at the gathered soldiers, the figure standing in the void waved his hand, and the pale cold air surged away like the waves, and in just a moment, the gathered soldiers were covered with hoarfrost, and there was a tendency to freeze rapidly.
"Slow down, wait a minute, Lord Ice Emperor! Please be merciful! β
And at this moment, a sharp exclamation was heard from a distance, and a thin figure staggered out of the street corner, and saw it running and shouting loudly in his mouth.
Hearing this voice, the movements of the old man standing in the void couldn't help but slow down a little, patiently waiting for the former's arrival.
"Your Excellency, Lord Ice Emperor, please wait a moment, I will let them open the city gate for you immediately!" After arriving panting, the thin figure didn't have time to rest, so he humbly bowed to the old man standing in the void and apologized sincerely.
Seeing that the old man standing in the void did not make any movement, the thin figure straightened up, pointed at the wartime garrison officer Genica Payne, who was standing among the soldiers, and rebuked loudly and unceremoniously.
"Take root, the city lord of Tatum has an order, open the city gate immediately!"
"No, it's wartime alert now, and I'm the supreme commander here!" But he didn't think about it, but Gen Payne, who was standing among the soldiers, unceremoniously and categorically refused. He also pointed at the thin figure with red ears and red ears, and retorted.
"Pip, don't think that you are the steward of the City Lord's Mansion and can dictate to me, now is a wartime alert, the city gate must be closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
The person who arrived in time to stop the old man from making a move was Pip, the butler who followed the Tatum City Lord, and it was his timely arrival that he was lucky enough to save the soldiers who had gathered, but he never thought that the order he brought was categorically refused, which couldn't help but make him anxious and angry, angry that the former did not listen to his advice, but was anxious for the old man who was afraid that the former's arrogance would provoke him.
The last thing he wanted was to see the last thing he wanted, just as the words of the wartime garrison commander Geniche Payne fell, the old man standing in the void raised his arm and pointed to the heavily guarded gate of the heavily guarded city of Conyounis.
With its movements, a thick layer of cold air quickly climbed through the heavy city gate at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning the tall gate into a wall of ice in just one breath.
At this moment, the old man standing in the void pushed the void with his palm, and with a loud noise, the huge city gate that turned into an ice wall shattered, turned into countless broken ice blocks, and scattered outside the city gate, this heavy city gate that was enough to withstand thousands of troops and horses, was wiped out with the wave of the old man's hand.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned, no one would have thought that this unbreakable city gate would be so fragile, no one dared to believe what their eyes saw, but the fact happened in front of them, scattered pieces of broken ice, proving that this city gate has become a thing of the past.
Staring at the old man standing in the void in horror, the wartime garrison officer Geniche Payne endured the fear in his heart, shouted angrily, and gave the battle order.
"Attack!"
The butler Pip didn't expect the old man standing in the void to move so fast, and he destroyed the entire city gate without saying a word, which couldn't help but make him not know how to reply to the city lord of Tatum.
But the next scene suddenly made him break out in a cold sweat, and after hearing that the wartime garrison officer Geniche Payne gave the battle order, the butler Pip was frightened, and he didn't care about anything, opened his arms, closed his eyes, and blocked the ice witch Taliskov's body, swinging wildly, trying to stop the former's thoughtful move.
"Stop, you idiot! You're going to kill everyone! β
But after waiting for a long time, the expected attack did not come, and the butler Pip secretly opened one eye, and secretly looked at it, and the scene that caught his eyes made his blood coagulate.
Syllable! A green jade hand landed on his shoulder, but as if there were no bones, and Pip the butler sat on the ground under this green jade hand, his lips trembling like a sieve.
Because as long as the soldiers who appeared in his field of vision, all of them turned into ice sculptures, living humanoid ice sculptures, without exception, all of them maintained their poses, and there was not a single living person who could move near the entire city gate.
"It's over! It's all over! "Collapsed on the cold ground, staring blankly at the scene in front of him, because of the recklessness of Root Payne, the soldiers stationed here at the city gate are all dead! Pip, the butler, has no doubt that there will still be living people here with the old man's help!
Just as Pip, the butler, kept muttering to himself, the owner of the green jade hand suddenly spoke.
"Don't worry, they're not dead!"
Shocked by this, the butler Pip was stunned for a moment, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, only then did he realize that only the part below the neck was sealed by the ice, leaving only the head to rotate, but because of the cold that invaded the body, all the people's lips turned dark purple, and they couldn't say a word.
"Thank you! Thank you!! It wasn't until he saw this scene clearly that Pip, the butler who was sitting on the ground, got up with a grunt and thanked him uncontrollably.
At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves from a distance, and two spacious carriages galloped from the other direction, arriving here before the Ice Witch and the others left the city.
Pointing to the galloping carriage, Pip, the butler, spoke.
"Lord Ice Emperor, please accept it! This is a little bit of the heart of the city lord of Tatum! Good luck with you too! β
Looking at the two spacious carriages, the old man standing in the void nodded slightly, climbed the stairs, and walked from the void to the ground.
After getting the old man's consent, the Ice Witch Tariskov waved her hand and motioned for the others to carry the unconscious Helo and the others into the carriage.
After taking over the two carriages with a swift movement, the Ice Witch and her party quickly disappeared outside the city, hidden in the endless night.
Looking at the backs of the two carriages leaving, Butler Pip let out a heavy breath and paced up to the frozen wartime garrison Root Payne, raised his hand, and slapped him in the face.
"Fool, look at what you've done!"
Just as he was about to turn away, a group of knights spun out from the corner and galloped towards him.
Seeing this scene, the butler Pip couldn't help but stop and stared thoughtfully at the person who came, because the person at the head was none other than the chief knight Fassbinder.
"What's going on?" Rushing to Pip, the butler, the chief knight Fassbender didn't have time to dismount, he looked around nervously before asking anxiously. "What the hell is going on, Pip?"
"Humph! Ask me? Ask that idiot! Hearing the former's questioning, Pip, the butler, shook his arm angrily, but said sarcastically without mercy. If I hadn't come early, these people would have been buried with that idiot! Don't look at who the other party is! Stupid things that come home, see how you explain them to the lord of the castle! β
Cursed by the butler Pip so much that he couldn't raise his head, and after seeing the situation here, Fassbinder, the chief knight, could also guess that the broken ice scattered outside the city gate proved that something had happened here.
But he didn't have time to say anything, and with a wave of his hand, he motioned for the people behind him to dismount.
"Help!"
After receiving this order, the knights behind him turned over and dismounted, and quickly drew their swords and smashed them, and the layer of armor-like ice outside the robe came out.
Sitting in the carriage, the ice witch Taliskov looked at the old man opposite with her eyes closed, and stopped talking a few times, tonight's matter, she was full of doubts, although she was able to guess the approximately, but also waited for the old man to solve her doubts.
"Whatever you want, just ask!" As if he had a feeling, the old man with his eyes closed suddenly spoke.
"Grandfather, that weapon...!" With the permission of the old man, the ice witch Tariskov couldn't wait to open her mouth to ask what she was puzzled about, but she didn't think that as soon as the first question came out, she was interrupted by the old man.
"That weapon is just a trifle, don't take it personally!"
"Then why did you leave your brother with those people, is there any mystery in it?" After being interrupted by the old man, Taliscove, the Ice Witch, quickly asked a second doubt in her heart.
"Hehe, I thought your first question was to ask me why I made the decision to leave Lusa City, it seems that you have already guessed something!" Opening his eyes, the old man looked at the girl in front of him lovingly.
"Yes, I guess your decision, not by chance, should have something to do with the tyrant Nicholas, right?" Tarisscove, the Ice Witch, nodded lightly and spoke her guess.
"You guessed it right! Thirty years ago, I led my family out of the capital to the frontier fortress of Lusa to guard the tyrant Nicholas who was sleeping in the volcano of Ajafara Jocco, because I owe someone a promise! Looking at the confident girl with satisfaction, the old man told the truth.
"Is that the Lord?" The Ice Witch Tariskov looked moved and said meaningfully.
"That's right, it's Alfred! When he heard the news that the tyrant had been wounded and had chosen to sleep on this volcano, he contacted me and asked me to come and watch over him! The old man nodded slightly, and told the cause of the incident.
"Hehe, that adult is really good at finding someone! Aside from your grandfather, the only powerful person on this continent who can restrain the tyrant Nicholas is Morgana, the Dread Empress, who is also one of the five legendary dragons. Hearing the old man say this, the Ice Witch's eyes suddenly narrowed, and she became like a lazy cat, but she looked very threatening.
Hearing Taliskov's words, the old man with his eyes closed suddenly raised the corners of his eyes, and a trace of an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Me? Hehe, Little Mint, there are many strong people in the mainland who choose to live in seclusion, but the easiest thing for him to find can only be me, and the others, even if he wants to find them, he can't find them. β
"Besides, for some reason, Morgana has refused to leave the Northern Ice Fields for some reason, even though it happened fifty years ago, she didn't come."
"But thanks to her, the elite strength of the orcs has been restrained by her under the ice peak where she lives, and she doesn't dare to be careless at all, after all, in the past two hundred years, her temper has become more and more irritable, and the title of tyrant seems to be more suitable for her now!"
His eyes widened with relish, listening to the things that popped out of the old man's mouth, each of which was enough to change the color of the mainland, and it was as simple as clear water, and when it came out of the latter's mouth, it was as if he had returned to his childhood, as interesting as a fairy tale before bed.
"I see!"
Listening to the old man's series of words, the ice witch Taliscove's towering chest rose and fell violently, and her pale face became a little redder, as if she gradually became excited because of these things.
As if he hadn't seen the girl's strange appearance, the old man suddenly changed his words, and said something in a flat tone that shocked the former even more.
"The Emperor is missing! I received the news a month ago, but this matter has been suppressed by some people in the capital! Now that Prince JΓΌrgen has stepped in to stabilize the situation, he wants me to return to the capital to help him! β
