Chapter 56 The Family of Officials and Bandits
The angry ice phoenix once again spewed out an extremely cold ice beam from its eyes, and rushed straight at Rogge and the others, who had no way to retreat, and at the critical moment, Rogge stepped forward and raised the ice tail feathers in his hand, blocking in front of the two companions.
The ice beam shot at the surface of the slender ice tail feathers, and I saw a flash of white light, and the tail feathers actually reflected the beam shot by the ice phoenix back and hit the ice phoenix's body.
"Damn thieves!" the ice phoenix staggered back a few steps and let out a roar of rage.
"I knew that the only thing that could defeat a strong man was the strong himself!" said Rogge, looking at the cold ice tail feather proudly.
Suddenly, a brilliant light shone in the sky outside the cave, and the ice phoenix looked back and saw an object with a golden light flying towards it, followed by a large number of flying objects.
"There are more and more uninvited guests!" The ice phoenix spread its wings and prepared to meet the enemy, when it suddenly heard the people in the light shouting: "Lord Phoenix, please calm your anger, we are not enemies!"
The ice phoenix watched warily at each other, and saw a griffin descend from the sky on the snow in front of it.
A knight in gold armor jumped down from the griffin, stepped forward with his bare hands, and said loudly, "I am Antonio, the leader of the Knights of the Silver Dragon Wings, under the jurisdiction of the Holy Council of the Farrell Empire, Lord Phoenix, please listen to me!"
The head of the knights glanced at Rogge and the others who were probing their brains at the entrance of the cave, and continued to raise their heads and say to the ice phoenix: "Our knights have come to the Ice and Snow Island on the order of Holy Emperor Valentine II to investigate the theft of the holy weapon that sealed the vampire king, and we are currently hunting down the dark wizard 'Bloody Hand' William, who is wanted for prison escape!"
"What does this have to do with me?" Ice Phoenix asked, still hostile.
"We tracked the Dark Wizard here, learned of the incident at the Titans' outpost, and suspect that the attack on you was most likely the work of William, who is trying to provoke a war between you and the Titans for ulterior purposes!"
Antonio's words didn't make the ice phoenix let down its guard, it glanced back at Rogge and the others and said, "So, are those three people the dark wizard's comrades?"
"No, they're also hunting down dark wizards!" Antonio looked back at the three of them, and saw Rogge quietly hooking his finger at him.
"But how dare they steal my Ice Tail Feathers, you thieves!" said Ice Phoenix angrily.
"Please let me go over and ask for an explanation!" Antonio turned around and walked towards Rogge and the others under the scrutiny of the ice phoenix, and as soon as they saw him, he whispered angrily, "You three are really going to get into trouble!"
"I always thought that you were the only one named Antonio, but I didn't expect that bird to be your relative, and their surnames are Trouble!" Rogge replied in a strange manner.
Antonio glared at him, and before he could speak, Rogge suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his neck and whispered: "He's nearby, I can smell the rotten smell of his body, you have to help me catch him!"
"Are you sure he's here?" Antonio glanced at Rogge suspiciously, and Rogge nodded solemnly and said, "Of course, I don't have time to joke with you, Lilith is still waiting for me to save your life!"
"What do you want to do?" asked Antonio softly.
Rogge whispered a few words to him, Antonio bowed slightly, turned around and said loudly, "Come with me, explain what happened to Master Phoenix!" After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the ice phoenix.
"How are you going to explain it to me?" asked Ice Phoenix, staring at the two men who walked forward.
He said he was just trying to save his companion, a bird that had accidentally been frozen in the ice. Antonio pointed to Rogge behind him.
Before he could finish speaking, Rogge suddenly flashed his silver handcuff, turned around and fired three shots at the cliff wall behind him on the left with lightning speed.
At the same time, the golden spear flashed into Antonio's hand, and the spearhead shot out a brilliant holy light, hitting the same target as the silver bullet fired by Rogge, and a figure wrapped in a black magic shield appeared.
"William, Bloody Hand, you're finally here!" Antonio shouted as he pointed to the figure in the sky, and the knights of the Order rallied around the griffons and surrounded the dark wizards.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that the knights of the Holy Order also cooperated with wanted criminals, I wonder how the Holy Emperor would feel if he knew about this?"
"I think it's a good choice for the bandit family when necessary, after all, you are the enemy of the whole people now!" Rogge aimed his silver gun at William's eyebrows, staring at him intently, and Catherine also came to Rogge's side with Murphy with another gun.
"William, what is your conspiracy to kill the Grand Master Constantine, steal the statue of the Holy Archangel, and now provoke the dispute between the Ice Phoenix and the Titans?" Antonio asked loudly as he pressed William with all his might.
"No, no, no, I don't have any plans, I'm just an executor, I know you'd love to see my master, but it's a pity he doesn't want to be seen by you now!" the dark wizard's sinister laugh came from the hood of his robes.
Before Antonio could answer, the ice phoenix behind him was already furious: "Cunning man, no matter what evil intentions you harbor, don't want to leave here alive today!"
It leapt from the ground, its wings whipping up a frenzied gust of cold wind that scattered the griffons, its eyes shooting out two beams of ice, and the dark wizard's shield was completely ineffective, instantly freezing on the mountain, turning into a huge block of ice.
Antonio was trying to dissuade the ice phoenix, when he heard a commotion among the knights, and William, who was frozen in the ice, dissipated out of thin air, and Rogge put down his hand and scolded when he saw this: "This damn lonely ghost!"
He closed his eyes and searched the air for William's scent, and after a moment he opened his eyes and said to Antonio: "That guy is gone, but he shouldn't go far, the goal has not been achieved, he won't leave us easily." ”
Hearing this, the Knight Commander turned back to the Ice Phoenix and said, "Lord Phoenix, we will catch that guy as soon as possible, and please allow us to take away the Ice Tail Feathers and save those who are frozen by the frost." ”
Ice Phoenix nodded slowly, glanced at Rogge beside Antonio and said, "I can allow you to take the tail feathers, but I want to know your name." ”
"Me?" Rogge glanced at Antonio and the others beside him, looked up at the ice phoenix and said, "I am the most wanted criminal in the empire, 'lone wolf' Rogge is me, if Lord Phoenix wants to take out his anger on me one day, just come to me - if you can find me!"
"Hahahaha!" Ice Phoenix laughed when he heard this, and said with his head bowed: "What a most wanted criminal, I will remember you, and ......"
It leaned over to Rogge, stared into his eyes and said meaningfully, "I know who you are, and you know what I'm talking about, huh?"
Rogge stared at the ice phoenix calmly, with a tacit smile on the corner of his mouth, the ice phoenix straightened up and said to Antonio: "Go, Your Excellency the regimental commander, may your journey be invincible and play a triumphant song as soon as possible!"
Everyone thanked the Ice Phoenix, boarded the Knights' griffons, and left the Frost Bluff to fly to the Titans' outpost.
When they landed at the stronghold, the anxious Tali hurried to meet them, and Rog came to the roaring fire in the crowd and covered the ice tail feathers over the ice that froze the little owl.
After a while, a puddle of snow melted on the ground, and everyone hurriedly lifted their tail feathers, and saw the little guy ** lying on his back on the ground, motionless with two little paws, and his eyes closed lifelessly.
Rogge gently touched her small body with his hand, and a cold feeling seeped into his heart from between his fingers.
"Lilith......" Rogge called softly, but the little owl did not react in the slightest, as if the warm flames beside her could not wake her stiff little body.
The expectation in people's eyes gradually turned into despair, Tali and Catherine's eyes flashed with tears, and Rog was silent for a moment, leaning down to leave an affectionate kiss on her ** small body......
(Ask for a collection for the little owl, let's pray for the poor little one!)
