The angry ice phoenix once again sprayed extremely cold ice beams from its eyes, and rushed towards Rogge and others who had no way out. At the critical moment, Rogge stepped forward and raised the ice tail feather in his hand to block the two companions.

The ice beam shot at the surface of the slender ice tail feathers, and there was a flash of white light. The tail feathers actually reflected the light beam shot by the ice phoenix back, hitting the ice phoenix's body.

"Damn thieves!" Ice Phoenix staggered back a few steps and roared angrily.

"I know that the only one who can defeat a strong man is the strong man himself!" Rogge said proudly as he looked at the Ice Tail Feather.

Suddenly, a bright light shone in the sky outside the cave. Ice Phoenix looked back and saw an object emitting golden light flying towards him, followed by a large number of flying objects behind it.

"There are more and more uninvited guests!" Ice Phoenix spread its wings and prepared to meet the enemy. Suddenly, the man in the light shouted loudly: "Lord Phoenix, please calm down, we are not enemies!"

Ice Phoenix watched the other party warily and saw a gryphon landing on the snow in front of it.

A knight in golden armor jumped down from the gryphon, walked up with empty hands and said loudly: "I am Antonio, the leader of the Silver Dragon Wings Knights under the Holy Society of the Farel Empire. Sir Phoenix, please listen to me. A word!"

The leader of the knights glanced at Rogge and others who were probing at the entrance of the cave, then raised his head and said to Ice Phoenix: "Our knights came to Ice and Snow Island on the order of Holy Emperor Valentin II to investigate the theft of the sacred weapon that sealed the Vampire King. , currently hunting for the wanted prison escapee dark wizard William the Bloody Hand!”

"What does this have to do with me?" Ice Phoenix asked still full of hostility.

"We tracked the dark wizard here and learned what happened at the Titan outpost. We suspect that the attack that happened to you was probably caused by William. He is trying to provoke a war between you and the Titans, and achieve impossible results from it. The purpose of suing people!"

Antonio's words did not make Ice Phoenix lower its guard. It turned back and glanced at Rogge and others and said, "So, are those three people the accomplices of the dark wizard?"

"No, they are also the ones chasing the dark wizard!" Antonio looked back at the three of them and found that Rogge quietly raised his finger to him.

"But they dared to steal my ice tail feathers, these are absolute thieves!" Ice Phoenix said angrily.

"Please let me go over and ask for clarification!" Antonio turned around and walked towards Rogge and others under the scrutiny of Ice Phoenix. As soon as they met, he whispered angrily: "You three are really going to cause trouble!"

"I always thought you were the only one named Antonio? Trouble, but I didn't expect that bird is a relative of yours, and both have the surname Trouble!" Rogge retorted angrily.

Antonio glared at him, but before he could speak, Rogge suddenly stepped forward and put his arms around his neck and whispered: "He is nearby, I can smell the rotten smell on his body, you have to help me catch him!"

"Are you sure he is here?" Antonio glanced at Rogge suspiciously. Rogge nodded solemnly and said, "Of course, I don't have time to joke with you. Lilith is still waiting for me to save her life!"

"What do you want to do?" Antonio asked softly.

Rogge whispered a few words to him. Antonio nodded slightly, turned around and said loudly: "Follow me, and tell Lord Phoenix what happened!" After that, he turned around and walked towards Ice Phoenix with Rogge.

"How are you going to explain to me?" Ice Phoenix asked, staring at the two people who came forward.

"He said he just wanted to save his companion, a little bird that was accidentally frozen in the ice." Antonio pointed at Rogge behind him.

Before he finished speaking, Rogge suddenly revealed his silver musket, turned around at lightning speed and fired three shots at the cliff at the rear left.

At the same time, the golden spear flashed in Antonio's hand, and the spearhead shot out a bright holy light. It hit the same target as Rogge's flying silver bullet, and a figure wrapped in a black magic shield emerged.

"'William the Bloody Hand', you finally showed up!" Antonio pointed at the figure in the sky and shouted loudly. The knights of the Knights gathered around in griffins, surrounding the dark wizard.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that the knights of the Holy Association would cooperate with wanted criminals. I wonder what the Holy Emperor would think if he knew about this?" The dark wizard William cast a spell with both hands, resisting the silver bullets shot by Rogge and Antonio's Holy Spirit. Light, sneered softly.

"I think when necessary, the gangster family is also a good choice. After all, you are the public enemy now!" Rogge aimed his silver gun at William's eyebrows and stared at him intently. Catherine also held up another gun and Murphy came to Rogge's side together.

"William, you killed the Grand Master Constantine, stole the Archangel Statue of the Sacred Artifact, and now you are provoking a dispute between the Ice Phoenix and the Titans. What is your conspiracy?" Antonio put all his strength into exerting pressure on William to output divine power. , while questioning loudly.

"No, no, no, I don't have any plans, I'm just an executor. I know you want to meet my master, but it's a pity that he doesn't want to accept your respect now!" The dark wizard's sinister laughter came from the robe. came from the hood.

Before Antonio could answer, the Ice Phoenix behind him had already shouted angrily: "You cunning man, no matter what evil intentions you harbor, there is no way you can leave here alive today!"

It jumped up from the ground, its wings set off a gust of wild cold wind, blowing the griffins away, and its eyes shot out two ice beams. The black wizard's shield was completely ineffective, and it was instantly frozen on the mountain. It turned into a huge lump of ice.

Antonio was about to dissuade the Ice Phoenix when he suddenly heard a commotion among the knights. William, who was frozen in the ice, disappeared out of thin air. Seeing this, Rogge put down his gun hand and cursed: "This damn lonely ghost!"

He closed his eyes and searched for William's scent in the air. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said to Antonio: "That guy has left, but he probably won't go far. The purpose has not been achieved, and he will not stay away from us easily."

Upon hearing this, the knight leader turned back to Ice Phoenix and said: "Lord Phoenix, we will catch that guy as soon as possible. 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 next to Antonio and said, "I can allow you to take away the tail feathers, but I need to know your name."

"Me?" Rogge glanced at Antonio and the others beside him, then looked up at Ice Phoenix and said, "I am the most wanted criminal in the empire. 'Lone Wolf' Rogge is me. If Mr. Phoenix wants to take it out on me one day, , come to me—if you can find me!”

"Hahahaha!" Ice Phoenix laughed when he heard this, nodded and said: "What a most wanted criminal, I will remember you, and..."

It leaned over and put its face in front of Rogge, stared into his eyes and said meaningfully: "I know who you are, and you also know what I'm talking about, eh?"

Rogge stared at Ice Phoenix calmly, with a tacit smile at the corner of his mouth. Ice Phoenix straightened up and said to Antonio: "Go, Your Excellency, Captain, I hope your journey will be successful and you will sing your song of victory soon!"

Everyone thanked the Ice Phoenix, boarded the Knights' gryphon, and left the Frost Cliff to fly to the Titan Giant's outpost.

When they landed at the stronghold, Tully, who had been waiting anxiously, hurriedly came up to them. Rogge, surrounded by everyone, came to the burning fire and covered the ice with his ice tail feathers on the ice that had frozen the little owl.

After a while, a puddle of snow melted on the ground. Everyone hurriedly lifted up the tail feathers and saw the little guy lying on his back, dripping wet, motionless with his two little paws raised, and his eyes closed lifelessly.

Rogge gently touched her little 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 respond at all. It seemed that the warm flames beside her could not wake up her stiff little body.

The expectations in people's eyes gradually turned into despair. Tears shone in Tully and Catherine's eyes. Rogge was silent for a moment, then leaned down and left a loving kiss on her wet little body...
