Though Huston tried his best to remain composed, a flicker of excitement could still be seen in his eyes. “Mr. Reed, just as you predicted, a significant event has indeed unfolded in the Golden Tower Empire.”

Of course, Gilmore was well aware of the situation.

But he feigned ignorance, asking, “Your Majesty, what exactly has happened?”

Huston looked at Gilmore and said, word by word, “Mr. Reed, the Ice Venerable Master has led the Ice Clan’s army out of Sunsbury and begun their incursion into the Golden Tower Empire!

“A great calamity is about to befall us.”

“The Ice Venerable Master?” Gilmore’s brows knit slightly.

“Yes, exactly, the Ice Venerable Master!” Huston affirmed.

Then he detailed the origins of the Ice Venerable Master and the extent of his dreadfulness to Gilmore.

Gilmore didn’t need to be told. He knew the backstory of the Ice Venerable Master.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have preemptively set up formations across the empire’s cities.

Gilmore nodded at Huston and said, “So, this Ice Venerable Master is quite a big deal and not easy to deal with.”

“As you said,” Huston agreed, “even the Golden Emperor of our Golden Tower Empire from ten thousand years ago couldn’t vanquish him.

“That speaks volumes about his terrifying strength!

“I must confess, Mr. Reed, there is no martialist in the Golden Tower Empire who can contend with the Ice Venerable Master.”

Gilmore replied, “Your Majesty, I find it hard to believe that in the vast and resourceful Golden Tower Empire, teeming with talent, there isn’t a single martialist capable of confronting the Ice Venerable Master.”

Huston replied somberly, “Indeed, Mr. Reed, there is no one in the Golden Tower Empire who can match the Ice Venerable Master, except for one person.”

Gilmore, curious, inquired, “If there is someone capable of confronting the Ice Venerable Master, why haven’t you sought them out? With the Ice Venerable Master’s forces advancing, we don’t have a moment to waste. Your Majesty should urgently call this martialist.”

upon

Huston said, “Although I am eager to invite this martialist to aid the Golden Tower Empire against the Ice Venerable–Master, I fear that he may not agree to assist us in this fight.

“However, I am afraid that this master will not agree to help me deal with venerable master Han Bing.”

Gilmore reassured, “That won’t happen. The citizens of the Golden Tower Empire are about to face slaughter through no fault of their own. I believe this martialist will not stand by heartlessly and let innocent lives be lost or allow the Ice Clan’s army to kill without restraint.”

Huston’s face lit up with gratitude. “Mr. Reed, your words bring comfort to me and all the citizens of the Golden Tow Empire. We are all deeply indebted to you.”

After these words, Huston rose from his throne and, to Gilmore’s astonishment, knelt before him with a thud.

However, Gilmore was shocked by his actions.

“What’s going on?

Huston is kneeling to me to express his thanks?”

Gilmore couldn’t shake off the feeling that he had somehow wandered into the wrong scene in a play.

Not only was Gilmore stunned.

Amy, Yacouba, and all the ladies present, including Lilian and Claire, were equally taken aback.

Especially Yacouba, whose eyes widened in disbelief.

He had lived a long life but had never seen an emperor

kneel before a commoner.

Who would believe such a tale if it were told?

Gilmore quickly helped Huston up, saying, “Your Majesty, there’s no need for such grand gestures!”

Yet Huston replied with gratitude, “Mr. Reed, you are the only one who can save the Golden Tower Empire from this calamity.

“Moreover, I have come to know that the sudden appearance of the formation in the border city of Unicorn is which saved its soldiers and citizens from a fate worse than death.

your

doing,

“My bow was to thank you on behalf of the people of Unicorn.”

Gilmore hadn’t expected Huston to guess so quickly that he was responsible for the formation in Unicorn.

With Huston kneeling in thanks, Gilmore found it awkward to keep up the pretense.

So, he had to admit, “Your Majesty is astute. Indeed, it was me who set up the formation in Unicorn.”

Huston said, “Mr. Reed, why should that be a problem? Just a few days ago, you set up a formation in our palace, ensuring our survival during the attack by Levi and his rebels.

“So naturally, when Unicorn was saved by a formation, I immediately thought of you.”

Wearing a modest smile, Gilmore replied, “Indeed, over the past couple of days, I divined the looming disaster facing the Golden Tower Empire, foreseeing that it would be a military catastrophe originating from the icy gales of the Sunsbury Ice Mountains.

“Hence, I took a quiet trip to Unicorn and discreetly laid down a formation for its protection.

“Fortunately, this formation stood firm against the onslaught of the Ice Clan’s army and the Ice Venerable Master, bringing me a small measure of comfort.

“Having already covertly set the formation, I did not wish to burden Your Majesty with further worries, so I chose not to disclose this matter.”

Hearing Gilmore’s admission, Huston, Amy, and Yacouba felt–their suspicions confirmed and were filled with immense joy. Especially when they learned that Gilmore had kept this a secret to spare Huston worry, it touched Huston’s heart beyond words.

However, concern soon clouded Huston’s face, and he said to Gilmore, “With your formation, Unicorn was spared.

“But in Golden Tower Empire, with its numerous cities, I fear that many will suffer countless casualties in the face of the Ice

Clan army.”

Gilmore responded calmly, “Your Majesty, rest assured, just as Unicorn remains unharmed, so too will the other cities of the Golden Tower Empire remain safe.

“When the Ice Venerable Master and his army come to attack, they will find that they have bitten off more than they can chew, and will not gain any advantage.”

Gilmore’s words were delivered with such a lightness, as if brushing off dust from his shoulders, yet brimming with confidence.

Huston, Amy, and Yacouba were taken aback.

Why was Gilmore so sure of himself?

Amy seemed to suddenly have a light bulb moment and asked Gilmore, “Mr. Reed, have you by any chance set up formations in all the cities of the Golden Tower Empire?”

Gilmore neither confirmed nor denied, simply replying, “Princess, just take a breather.

“The Ice Clan’s army and the Ice Venerable Master won’t be able to stir up any serious trouble.

“We can just sit back and enjoy the show.”

At these words, a look of delight spread across the faces of Amy, Huston, and Yacouba.

They could almost be certain from Gilmore’s words that he had indeed set up formations across all the cities of the Golden Tower Empire.

They were speechless with surprise.

Considering the monumental effort it would take to set up formations in the Empire’s numerous cities, they were in awe. Setting up a formation in one city was enough to deplete a great deal of a cultivator’s power.

To do so in hundreds? It was almost beyond belief.

In the eyes of Huston and Amy, Gilmore’s strength seemed to the celestial! Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

With such prowess, Huston felt a wave of relief wash over him. Even if the Ice Venerable Master led the Ice Clan’s army against the Golden Tower Empire, there was nothing to fear.

“Mr. Reed, then what should we do next to face the Ice Clan’s army?” Huston asked, as respectfully as a student seeking wisdom from his teacher.

Gilmore answered, “Do nothing special. Just carry on as usual.”
