By the time Rand hurried to the fortress wall, Lightning and his companions had finished their food, but their bodies were still very weak, and the faces of the two women were sickly red, like fatigue caused by the inability of blood to circulate properly, or frostbite.

Although it was wrapped in a thick layer of wolf skin, the cold wind still penetrated through the cracks, causing bare skin to feel a tingling sensation.

Rand looked up, but there was no sign of Snow in the crowd.

"May I ask if your Excellency is Lord Rand?" Lightning was very anxious, and when he saw a nobleman on the wall of the fortress who was obviously dressed differently and temperamentally from ordinary soldiers, he already guessed that this might be the person they were looking for.

"Are you Snow's companions in the Arctic Mountains?" Rand asked, skeptically, "Why isn't Snow with you?"

"We've been ambushed in the council!" Lightning shouted as he looked up, Andy and Connor were in a bad state, and if they weren't treated, they would go into shock due to the severe drop in body temperature.

"How?"

"God is dead!" At this moment, the little boy who had been silent next to him suddenly said this.

At this time, Rand and Snow agreed on a code.

"Light is coming......" Rand nodded and ordered the soldiers beside him, "Lower the escalator and bring them in!"

"Please get a doctor right away!"

Rand noticed that among the demon seeds, except for the thin man, the other five were traumatized to varying degrees, especially the youngest boy, whose clothes were less than three inches lower on his chest were stained with blood, and the dark red blood scab was thickly scabbed.

"Bring some stretchers and inform the doctors in the palace to come to me immediately. Rand chuckled inwardly.

"Yes, sir!"

With the exception of the little boy, the injuries on the two women's bodies were not serious, just some abrasions, but the cold temperature and long walks exhausted their physical strength, and in the absence of voluntary consciousness, the icy environment can be fatal.

"Burn the stove hotter! Prepare some hot water and towels!"

......

"Don't worry, the doctors will heal your companions, and as you heard just now, their injuries are not as serious as you thought. When everything was arranged, the doctor and his assistant came to the fortress wall to treat the seriously injured demons, Rand finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time the lightning also regained some strength, he did not have the joy and happiness of the rest of his life, but looked very anxious, kept walking around in place, wanted to say something but did not dare to say it.

"Thank you for your concern, but ...... Hey!" Lightning looked a little absent-minded, and before he finished his sentence, he let out a long sigh.

Rand frowned, according to his agreement with Snow, Snow would inform Rand in advance in his own way before returning, and Rand would send soldiers to meet the demons after receiving the notice, after all, in winter, crises will always exist, and hungry beasts and unreasonable barbarians will treat the lone demons as snacks and pastimes.

Lightning just said that they were ambushed in the council?

"Did the people from the Right Court attack you?" Rand asked tentatively.

The Dark Council is located in the deepest part of the Arctic Mountains, and has an eerie natural barrier of the Dark Forest, and the beasts and human armies generally do not easily try to pass through the Dark Forest, and Snow has said that in the Arctic Mountains, they have only one enemy.

It seems that the matter has come to light.

"Yes, but ......" Lightning gritted his teeth, with a sad and indignant look on his face: "If it was just an interception from the right court, we wouldn't be so embarrassed." ”

"We have been betrayed!"

"A certain lord, whom we have always regarded as the leader, chose the opposite side of us when he learned that we were leaving the council. The night before we were ready to leave, he opened the protective formation against the invasion of foreign enemies, and introduced a large number of assassins......" At this point, Lightning's fists clenched, and it could be seen that he was extremely angry at this time, "Thanks to him, we almost died under the assassin's knife several times. ”

"So Snow, he'...... Is it dead?" Rand felt his throat tighten a little, after all, he had been with Snow for a long time, and although some unpleasant little things happened between the two at first, it did not affect Snow's careful teaching to Oak later.

Rand noticed that the "adult" in the flash call had chosen the opposite side of them, and that there were only several factors that made this choice, fanatical beliefs and the pursuit of power that no one could avoid, and as part of the Dark Council, in the eyes of "a certain adult", Snow and Lightning's actions were a betrayal of their original beliefs.

It seems that I underestimate the estrangement and hatred between the demon seed and the human race, compared to the gentle Oak, the leader in the mouth of the lightning is obviously an extremist, for the companions who want to return to the human world, even if they kill them with their own hands, they will not let them be happy, if this kind of person really has great power, the first thing he has to do is probably to kill himself, the guy who dares to take his companions away from him.

"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you next. Lightning stared into Rand's eyes, "Lord Snow is probably not dead, he was captured by our leader, and there are many companions in the council who don't know the inside story of this, and they are still in the dark!"

"So, what do you want me to do?" Rand let out a sigh of relief.

"I want to beg you, lead the soldiers into the Arctic Mountains, and free Lord Snow and my companions from the hands of the devil!" Lightning paused, and then said, "I know you may find it difficult to accept, but I still want to beg you to agree......"

"Mr. Lightning, I want to ask you a question," Rand said, spreading his hands, "Do you know how many enemies and threats the Airferry Territory faces from the outside world during the snowy winter?"

"Beast tide, barbarian. Dealing with these two races alone was already exhausting for the soldiers. If you want to enter the Arctic Mountains to fight, then it means adding a few points to the original pressure. Rand said word for word.

As Rant's words spoke, the light in Lightning's eyes became more and more dim, and he knew in his heart that it was indeed difficult for a strong man to enter the Arctic Mountains in this season, and what Rand said did not lie to him, the number of soldiers in the air crossing was not large, and it was indeed impossible to divide the excess power to him.

"Sorry for the trouble. I see......"

"I didn't mean to reject you. I just wanted to tell you what I need to pay for this request of yours. ”

Lightning's eyes widened suddenly.

"What do you want?" Lightning asked with great seriousness.

"Promise, your promise. ”
