With Titi exploring the way ahead, the group arrived in Cynthia City two days later in the afternoon.

Master Rice had already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and before they arrived, they received a summons from the Flying Eagle of the Sword Saint of Shubis in the rear, informing them that the City Lord Roland had been captured, and the ambush blocking the way had been resolved, saving Lin An a lot of words.

According to the news, they found the destroyed Roland City Lord in the study, and after searching the City Lord's Mansion, Douglas found that a mysterious mage who had been recruited half a year ago had disappeared.

"It may be that he was infiltrated by enemy spies or was charged, and after his majesty returned to the capital, he ordered the Ministry of Supervision to strengthen supervision, and the intelligence feedback from various places is also a little abnormal, and now that I think about it, someone like the city lord of Roland may not be the only one."

Master Rice looked calm, not surprised by this situation.

Charles had a keen sense of smell and a bit of a grim instinct for the situation, "What do Perret and the Holy Empire want to do!" ”

If there is no purpose, the two empires will not lightly expose the nails they have planted, especially after many nails have been exposed before, it is not so easy for the two countries to drive the nails into it, even if it is just a small nail far away from the central Roland City, it is not something that can be sacrificed casually.

Elizabeth hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, I wonder what happened to my father's urgent summoning me back?" "Even if the situation on the mainland is tense, it is unlikely that it will be related to a royal princess like her.

"Your Majesty asked me to come here to bring Her Royal Highness the Princess and Archduke Stuart back together," Master Rice was silent for a moment, intending to give her a mental preparation, "If nothing else, Your Majesty should be able to consummate your marriage with the Grand Duke." ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone suddenly fell silent.

At this moment, the guards outside the gate came to report that the Grand Duke Stuart and his party had arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

Lin An followed the prestige, and happened to meet the four eyes of Lancet who walked in the door.

The latter had left three days early, had already passed Cynthia City, and had returned in the dust. As soon as I entered the door, I happened to hear this sentence, and my sky-blue eyes flashed with shock that I couldn't hide.

……

The city of Gaunt is frozen all year round.

The walls of the black steel rock are covered with an ice shell, accompanied by fine white ice flowers on the surface, as if a gray-black blanket is on its back. The soldiers on duty at the head of the wall let out a breath of heat. As soon as it leaves the warm mouth, it turns into fine ice crystals that fall downward.

Suddenly. A black shadow swept over the white air mass that had not completely dissipated, and the vision above his head seemed to darken.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, looked up, and the silver-white eagle with a wingspan of more than a foot swooped down, wrapped in the cold snowflakes and cold air, and flew over the wall with a roar, and the wind was blown up by the red tassels on the top of the soldier's helmet.

The majestic messenger flew over the vast ice field and fell to the ground, and the signal soldier who was dedicated to domesticating the Eagle hurriedly picked up a broom to clear the snow for the Eagle Eagle. A large vat of fresh mutton, and a round ball untied from the neck of the Condor were carefully held by the staff who came in a hurry, and quickly delivered to the commander.

"Expedite this summons back to the imperial capital."

Not long after the ball was sent in, the staff ran out again and hung the ball around the neck of the other eagle again. Xundiao soared into the sky and flew southwest.

Imperial capital.

“…… I haven't found anyone of the same level for the time being, but I won't leave the ice field for the time being. ”

The words stopped, and the figure of the Azure Spear above the crystal ball disappeared, and the colored light of the illusion disappeared into the crystal ball. The humming crystal ball in the groove in the center of the magic circle fell silent.

“…… That's it, what do you think, express your opinions. ”

The dimmed light was turned back on, and the Emperor sat behind his desk, the black golden lion tassel on his chest glittering, calmly asking the other ministers with whom he had watched the Summons.

"There is no legendary powerhouse appearing, it seems that the demon clan has not torn that contract and let the legendary powerhouse join the war. But the Azure Spear is alone on the front line, and he is the one who has personally destroyed the Demon Clan's Holy Mountain, and the Demon Clan may set a trap for the Crown, should we contact other Crowns? ”

Hestan, a round-faced old man sitting in the third place on the right, said.

"The contract of the legendary powerhouses of the two clans is re-signed every hundred years, and it is agreed that the powerhouses of the two clans cannot take the initiative to intervene in the war, as long as the Azure Spear does not take the initiative to make a move, the demons have nothing to do, and the subordinates think that the main root of this change of the demon clan is still in those ice puppets, and the legend of the demon clan should not take the risk of making a move - the black wand god crown should naturally inform each other in advance, but if Pere and the Holy Empire are summoned too early, there is a suspicion of showing weakness."

Sitting at the top, Barnett, the Minister of War, frowned.

"Jointly defending the demon clan is the common obligation of our three countries, if we don't inform them in advance, the other two countries may be dissatisfied." Opposite a minister dressed as a political civil servant interjected.

"I seconded Lord Hestan, but the other two countries must also be more vigilant." Sitting firmly under the former, the first "cunning fox" Pattisse smiled.

The legendary level contract is a contract recognized by the laws of the plane, once violated, it will be suppressed or even destroyed by the law, and the lightest punishment will also be sealed fifty percent of the strength, the reason why there was that legendary battle two years ago is because the one in the holy mountain is a human race not a demon race, and it is not within the scope of the contract.

And the reason why the legendary strong man made this contract is also to keep the fire of the two clans, otherwise the legendary strong man will arbitrarily meddle in the war, and the final result is likely to be a defeat for both sides and the destruction of the clan together;

What's more, the laws of the plane have a great constraint on the legendary powerhouse, once the plane suppression is caused, the final result is likely to be besieged and fallen, and most of the legendary falls of the two clans in the demon disaster are due to this reason.

Therefore, at the end of the Demon Disaster, seeing that the space passage was closed, the stranded Demon Legend could not return to the Demon Realm, and the Legend of the Human Race was far from enough to kill these old opponents, both races had only one breath left to survive, seeing that the remnants of the Demon Race and the legend were in despair because of the back road being sealed, they were ready to die together with the Terran, and the strong men on both sides were ready to fight in the Ice Field, and then I don't know what kind of inside story happened during the period, the Legend of the Two Races made this contract and sent it to the leaders led by the two races, which also announced the end of the Demon Disaster Era.

After that, the human race entered a period of recuperation and recuperation, and the legendary powerhouses of the two races did not know where to go, as if the world had evaporated, and for thousands of years, except for the legendary battle outside the Mapei Fortress two years ago, there had been no legendary battle.

But just like the nuclear Cold War in Lin An's previous life, although nuclear war has never happened, the leaders will not ignore this possibility. Whenever there is a hint of war, the first thing that needs to be raised and discussed at the table is the assumption that the legends will make a move and what they should do.

In this meeting, the two sides were divided into two factions, and there was a tendency to turn red and red-faced.

In fact, this is not the case at all in the past discussions. It's just because of the turmoil of this palace change. How much it has had an impact among the ministers.

Of course, sometimes, arguments are also a means to test the emperor's intentions, after the change of the palace. Even the emperor's cronies and descendants need to rethink how to deal with the emperor's changes.

The emperor listened to this argument calmly, and his expression was still full of majesty, and when he saw the emperor again after the change of the palace, the ministers did not realize that he had been dying, but felt that after the pain of losing his son, he seemed to be more energetic, and when he was in the meeting, he also secretly exchanged glances.

"Alright. Be quiet. ”

The finger with a Morocco turquoise ring tapped on the table, and the ministers quickly fell silent, and the emperor glanced at everyone, and his gaze was like a basin of cold water, which made people's minds cool quickly.

"There is no news from the Black Rod Law Divine Crown. However, with the induction between the legendary powerhouses, no news is the best news. ”

When the ministers heard this, they were stunned for a moment and thoughtful.

And the emperor did not stop, and continued: "...... Legendary aspect. It can be handed over to the Azure Spear Crown, and the Demon Clan's start of war this time happened to go to the northern front under the Azure Spear Crown, which can be said to be our luck, but the same luck, there will not be a second time. ”

Minister of War Barnett immediately stood up, his face slightly ashamed, "Your Majesty has disappointed your majesty's expectations!" ”

"If you try to find out where those ice golems come from, you must at least grasp their weaknesses." The emperor was expressionless.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Barnett gritted his teeth and sat down, if it weren't for the warning from the Azure Spear, another rout like the one he had done more than a year ago, he, the Minister of War, would have to take the blame and resign.

"Frontline report, I need to pay close attention, Barnett, you have to cooperate with Pattith this time."

Barnett was stunned for a moment, and had to grit his teeth in response, and Pattis, who was opposite, said with a smile, "Lord Barnett, then please take care of me in the future!" ”

He smiled, thinking that His Majesty had finally been disappointed in the military intelligence department, and opened a hole and let his inspectorate it.

The agenda was tight and complicated, such as the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Undersecretary of the Army, who could cause turmoil in normal times, and they stood up one by one to report:

"The Treasury ......"

"The army ...... this time"

As one decision after another was made, Merlin, a large and important country, began to operate day and night like a huge and sophisticated machine.

***

At this time, thousands of miles away, the war on the ice field was further intensifying.

"- Enemy attack! - Enemy attack! ……”

A howl mixed with fear rang out, and a soldier was suddenly embraced by a human body that suddenly emerged from the ground.

Before he could resist, the humanoid facial features with chill and gloomy energy pulled out a strange smile, hugged the soldier's arms and burst open without warning, and the soldier's lower body instantly turned into minced meat, mixed with ice and snow, and had turned pale pink when it landed.

The ice golem that lost its arms rose back slightly, and the upper body of the lost arms was inserted in the snow, and the ice and snow flowed upwards as if they were alive, connecting to the broken arms of both arms, and the arms that exploded were instantly intact.

As soon as the ice golem sank to the ground, only a small bulge bulged slightly on the snow, and quickly moved into the distance!

And if someone can clearly see the ground through the wind and snow in the air, then they will be horrified to find that similar fast-moving bulges, like the holes of a beehive, are dense and moving in a certain direction from all directions.

"Hee-hee!"

On the top of the snow-capped mountain in the distance, a voice chuckled strangely:

"Have fun, my little darling! Nourish your hearts with lowly human souls...... Lord Mephisold has made a military order, and I must not lose to anyone else......"
