My cemetery is connected to the game world.

Chapter 320 Alarm (4000)

Duke Erwin gave a mocking smile.

He sat back in his chair, looked at the nervous Emma Lu Bailey, then looked at Helot, and said arrogantly: "I have been confused these days. My daughter is too honest. She was sent to the iceberg by the Skovo family. This is not the Snow Princess I know. That's why I came here specially. Now it seems that my guess is correct. You have a complete plan to escape.

Southerner, tell me your name and I'll put you on the list to be executed after the wedding."

Helot straightened his clothes and saluted to Duke Erwin: "My name is Helot Claulund. It's a pleasure to meet you, Uncle Erwin..."

The smile on Duke Elwin's face immediately tightened. He looked at Emma Luberi again, and stood up immediately after receiving a look of affirmation. He straightened his clothes first, and then returned the greeting to Helot: "I am very happy to hear that the Claulund family has returned to the Covenant City. I just didn't expect you to visit Iceberg Snow Peak in this way. Welcome to your arrival. After the Elwin family returned to Iceberg Snow Peak, we have never entertained such a distinguished guest like you again."

Duke Elwin was very conservative. When the Claulund family came to visit, he treated them equally.

Helot learned from Melissa that her father was a very traditional nobleman. Now that they met for the first time, he really looked like someone who had walked out of a history book. No wonder the Northern Frontier was like a living history under his rule.

"This trip to the Northern Frontier was a spur of the moment decision. Because Her Royal Highness Princess Emma Lubeli is my assistant officer, and she has not sent any news back to the Covenant City since she returned to the Northern Frontier, so I came to visit her to see if she has encountered any unsolvable difficulties."

Helot's words were tactful, but one could hear the sting in them.

Isn’t the dilemma Princess Emma Rubelle faces just being under house arrest?

Duke Erwin signaled Emma Luberi to bring a chair for Helot. The princess' room was very simple, far from the luxury of the snow castle, and the chair was just an ordinary wooden chair.

The fireplace was also an ordinary fireplace. Although the fire inside was burning very brightly, the room was still very cold.

Duke Elwin sat down. He could give Claulund the proper courtesy, but that didn't mean he would allow Helot to blame him.

"This is our Erwin family's family affair. I welcome you to attend my daughter's wedding with Panier, but please don't do anything that will bring shame to the Erwin family."

Helotte acted like the head of the Claulund family: "Princess Emma Lubeli is the Snow Princess canonized by His Majesty, and he personally appointed her as my assistant. The marriage of Her Royal Highness is not just the business of the Elwin family, and I don't want to see my subordinates reduced to a reproductive machine with a lifespan of only one year!"

Duke Erwin frowned: "You know everything?"

Helot replied: "When the priest Sander used witchcraft to summon the polar fire fox to treat Your Highness, I happened to be standing nearby."

Duke Erwin looked at Emma Luberi again, and then said to Helot: "This is her fate. Since her life has to end, she might as well give birth to a child and add a highly talented warrior to the Polar Plateau."

"Father..." Emma Lu Bailey was about to speak for herself, but when she felt her father's stern gaze, she shut her mouth.

Helot said on behalf of Emma Rubelle: "This is just the fate you gave her!"

"No, this is her responsibility as a member of the Erwin family. Even the emperor of the empire has no right to interfere. And you..." Duke Erwin stared at Helot: "Why do you take her away from the snowy peaks of icebergs? Why do you change her fate?"

Emma Lu Bailey also looked at Helot, waiting for his answer.

Helot straightened his back and was about to answer when the door was suddenly pushed open and the guard who came in shouted, "Your Excellency the Duke, a large number of unidentified armed men are approaching from the south side of the castle, many of whom are driving war machines..."

South side of the castle!

Isn’t it below the iceberg?
Why are there unidentified armed men approaching from that direction!

……

Brisney has been trapped in the magma for three days, and all the exits that can be found are strictly guarded. These northern border people have all been distributed weapons, and judging by the number, it is obvious that they are going to launch a large-scale war.

Moreover, Brishney also saw a lot of military war machines, and most of the people driving the war machines were from the South.

Brisney followed Helot and had some knowledge of the machines. She could see that these war machines were all newly built, without even a coat of paint, with the shiny metal exposed to the air. Most of the war machines were equipped with gun barrels and cannon barrels that exceeded the standard, which obviously abandoned some of the close combat functions and comprehensively strengthened the long-range firepower output, especially the ability to attack.

From this, we can judge that there is a large arsenal somewhere in the magma of the earth.

But Brisney didn't find the location of the arsenal. The fire element inside the magma was very active, which was a very harsh environment for vampires. Moreover, she had to hide herself well and couldn't easily hunt and suck blood, so her body became weaker and weaker.

Therefore, Brishney spent most of her time transforming into a bat and hiding in the slightly cooler crevices of rocks, waiting for an opportunity to escape.

Three days later, the troops stationed in the geothermal magma finally moved.

Someone brought in boxes to distribute magic scrolls, and each soldier could get one attack magic and one defense magic. Then they filled the war machines with ammunition, and the attached auxiliary ammunition boxes were also filled up.

As the command was given, all the troops entered the passage and marched upwards one by one.

Bresney found an opportunity to fly behind a war machine and hid her body in the gap of the gun magazine. The hot metal made Bresney feel like she was about to be roasted.

Fortunately, the temperature got colder as we moved forward, and the wind blew the snowflakes in.

The war machine became cold again, and Brishney was shivering with cold. She kept moving her body to prevent herself from sticking to the metal.

The army came out of the cave and immediately marched up the mountain.

Brishney quietly stuck her head out to look around, and was immediately shocked by the size of the army.

The mountain was full of densely packed heads, and there were estimated to be hundreds of war machines. Moreover, people and war machines continued to come out of the cave and join the army marching up the mountain.

Whose army are they?
What do they want to do?
Brisney looked down the mountain and saw the Snow Castle and the bonfires outside the Snow Castle. She didn't know what she should do now, should she follow the army to find out their purpose, or go back to the Snow Castle to report the news to the owner.

After repeated consideration, Brisney decided to continue the lurking reconnaissance. After all, the army's target was the ice castle on the top of the iceberg, not the snow castle where the owner was.

Only by figuring out what this army is can the master make the right judgment based on complete intelligence.

As the altitude increased, the snow peaks became colder and colder, and Brisni's body began to stiffen, but she did not dare to use magic to relieve it. This was the center of the army, and any strange fluctuations in magic power could expose her.

She moved her body with difficulty, crawling on the war machine, approaching the cockpit little by little.

Then he put his ear against the bone-chilling shell and listened carefully to every sound coming from inside.

The pilot in the cockpit was using a cochlear communication system to communicate with nearby war machinery, but due to interference from the rotation of the wheels and the movement of the aircraft, it was difficult to make out what was being said.

But one word in particular instantly made Brisney's spirit tense.

The torturer!
Could it be that this army was formed by the prisoners?

Brisney looked up and could 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 the materials in the ice castle needed to be transported from the bottom of the mountain, so the Erwin family was very frugal and would not waste money. Such a strong light inside the ice castle meant a huge consumption of fuel, and the Erwin family must have something big going on to light so many fires.

The recent big event of the Erwin family...isn't it the wedding of Princess Emma Rubelle and Panier?
Looking at the fire outside the snow city at the foot of the mountain, it shows that the villages in northern Xinjiang are also celebrating with precious fuel.

Princess Emma Rubelle is in the ice castle, and the owner must be in the ice castle too!
Brishney made a judgment that even scared herself: the army of the Punisher Organization was going to attack the Ice Castle, and the owner was in danger!
Breslini immediately changed into human form, threw out a flying knife and knocked all the Northern Frontier guards to the ground, then drew out her sword and stabbed it into the cockpit of the war machine.

The driver was pierced through the chest by a sword and died instantly due to a magic implosion, and the war machine stopped on the spot.

Brishney opened the cockpit door from the outside, pulled out the pilot's body and threw it out, then sat inside herself.

There was no time to close the hatch, so Brishney operated it directly with it open.

At this time, the nearby soldiers noticed what was happening here. When they saw someone fall down, they rushed over to see what happened.

Brishney activated all the weapon systems of the war machine, laid the gun barrels and cannon barrels flat, and rotated the machine body on the spot.

Tongues of flame shot out from gun and cannon barrels.

"Da da da da da da..."

"Boom boom boom boom..."

In order to break through the defense of the snow castle as quickly as possible, the prisoner abandoned many of the war machine's functions and stacked the firepower index to the maximum. He wanted to fire more bullets and shells at one time and rush into the ice castle in one wave.

Therefore, the war machine that Brishney stole had extremely fierce firepower, and it created a metal storm.

The unsuspecting Northern Frontier soldiers were cut in half by bullets and then blown to pieces by machine guns.

A wall of snow was raised on the snow.

In just a dozen seconds, Brishney fired all the ammunition in the receiver, and the sound reached the ice castle.

For the ice castle, the north side faces the polar plateau, which is the direction of the cold monster's attack. Even the princess' wedding is heavily guarded. The south side is the rear, where there are no enemies. Usually there are only a few watchmen to manage the transportation of materials and the entry and exit of personnel.

It was night time now, and tomorrow was the princess' wedding. Everyone was so busy that there were no guards on the south side. Even if there were, they were dragged away by the Skovo family to drink.

Therefore, the executioner's army was already very close to the ice castle, but 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 firework, he saw a dark army on the snow rushing towards the ice castle.

"Alarm! Sound the alarm! Report to His Excellency the Duke that unknown armed men are approaching the south side of the Ice Castle."

Even if they saw the army, the watchmen did not dare to judge that they were enemies.

Alarm bells are ringing inside the ice castle!
The first direction everyone looked was to the north. Was it the cold demon attacking?
In the princess's bedroom, Duke Elwin couldn't believe it when he heard that unknown armed men were approaching the south side of the castle.

"Is someone playing a prank? Those kids are becoming more and more lawless!"

The guard replied with certainty: "Your Excellency the Duke! They are indeed armed men with unclear intentions, and their hostility is obvious..."

Duke Elvin frowned, he couldn't understand how the enemy could come from the south.

Is it an attack by the Imperial Army?

Not too possible!

It is now the freezing season. The imperial army has no ability to pass through the snowfields of the northern border silently, let alone bypass the Snow City and go straight to the Ice Castle.

Duke Erwin stood up and said, "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 order.

Princess Emma Rubelle said to the guard, "Come with me and wait."

Duke Erwin nodded, and the guard followed Emma Luberi out of the room and closed the door.

"Do you know what happened?" asked Duke Erwin.

Helot knew that time was running out, so he said quickly, "On my way to the Northern Frontier, I found someone selling high-end machine tool parts. During the few days I spent in the Snow Castle, I found that the number of bandits in the Northern Frontier suddenly increased in recent years. They raided many villages, and all the strong men became slaves, but the number of slaves in the market did not increase much.

My men found a large number of Northern Frontier people and armored bears being enslaved and used to mine ore in a magma area."

This information made Duke Erwin tense up. He asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

"I can't make an accurate judgment yet. Are you the mastermind behind these things?"

"Is everything you said true?"

"Of course it's true." Helot said, "And... I think you can also notice the changes in the Skovo family over the years."

Duke Erwin did not dare to linger here. He walked quickly to the door, opened it, walked out and shouted, "The enemies are coming up from the south side of the castle! The watchmen of the Ice Castle muster up to fight! All the knights of the Ice Knights, my only mission for you is to keep an eye on the people of the Skovo family around you and don't let them move.

If you move... I will kill you!"

Duke Erwin walked towards the main hall of the castle, and thick ice formed wherever he passed. In his hand, a broad-bladed ice sword solidified, and layers of ice armor covered his entire body.

Emma Lu Bailey followed behind her father, her hair turned into ice crystal color and she held an ice sword.

She turned to Helot and said, "Don't stop me. This is my responsibility as the daughter of Duke Erwin..."

An explosion came from the direction of the main hall, and the castle shook.

The war has begun!
