Huston had no choice but to say to the imperial preceptor, “Since you wish to stay in Fensville to pray for blessings, I will

send someone else.”

With that, Huston looked towards the court officials gathered in the grand hall and spoke, “Gentlemen, who is willing to journey to the Ice Mountains on my behalf, to offer worship to the Ice God and resolve the calamity of the snow disaster for the Golden Tower Empire?

“Whoever is willing to go, upon your return, I will promote you and reward you handsomely.”

However, the officials in the hall exchanged glances.

But no one volunteered to take the perilous trip to the Ice Mountains to worship the Ice God.

Huston was extremely irritated.

These ministers usually said how loyal they were to him.

But when the time came

demonstrate it, they were as timid as turtles tucking their heads in their shells.

This deeply disappointed Huston.

His gaze involuntarily turned to Yacouba, the aged yet valiant General with silver whiskers and a face etched with the experiences of life.

This general of the Golden Tower Empire was his last hope.

Seeing Huston’s look. General Yacouba didn’t wait for Huston to speak.

With his tall and dignified presence, he stepped forward from the ranks of the military officers.

With a formal bow, General Yacouba addressed Huston seated on the dragon throne, “Mr. Franko I am willing to go to the Ice Mountains on your behalf to offer worship to the Ice God.

Emotions welled up inside Huston.

General Yacouba was truly a pillar of the Golden Tower Empire,

In every upheaval and crisis faced by the Golden Tower Empire, he had been there.

And this time, it was such a difficult task to go to the Ice Mountains to worship the Ice God.

It was only when no one d

dared to accept it that Yacouba accepted it.

Huston felt a heavy sense of gratitude, seeing a pillar of the state shouldering his worries.

But alongside his gratitude, there was a pang of reluctance.

General Yarouba had served the nation and its people with utmost loyalty, pouring out his heart and soul.

Now advanced in years, he was still ready to face hardship for the sake of the country.

This troubled Huston.

It took a moment before Huston could speak, “General Yacouba you are of considerable age. The journey to the Ice Mountains is thousands of miles of trekking through mountains and waters, a journey fraught with hardship.

“Only after worshipping the Ice God can the snow disaster from the Ice Mountains be quelled.”

Huston pondered for a moment before looking at the imperial preceptor, “Imperial preceptor, you are the one with supernatural skills. I now command you to lead a thousand imperial knights to the Ice Mountains to conduct the sacrifice to

the Ice God”

Since learning about the imperial preceptor’s treachery, Huston had been looking for an opportunity to remove him.

Keeping such a devious man like the imperial preceptor close was a recipe for endless trouble.

And if he could send the imperial preceptor to the Ice Mountains, to possibly meet his end in that frozen wilderness, nothing could be better.

However, the imperial preceptor said back to Huston, “Mr. Franko, I cannot leave Fensville,

“With such a catastrophe upon the Golden Tower Empire, I must remain in Fensville and conduct prayers for one month. Only then will the Ice God cease to bring disaster upon the Golden Tower Empire.”

Huston seethed inwardly.

In his eyes, the imperial preceptor’s insistence on staying in Fensville to pray was clearly an excuse to avoid going to the Ice Mountains,

This made Huston’s plan to eliminate the imperial preceptor unattainable.

General Yacouba replied with a booming voice, “Mr. Franko, although I am of advanced years, my dedication to the nation and to the people remains strong. I believe I am capable of completing this mission to offer worship to the Ice God and to alleviate the snow disaster.

A glimmer of tears could be seen in Huston’s eyes as he spoke, “Mr. Perris, you are indeed the backbone of the Golden Tower Empire. To have such a steadfast and loyal minister is both my fortune and the nation’s”

General Vacouba immediately knelt down and said, “Mr. Franko flatters me. I am your subject, and I will serve the Golden Tower Empire to the utmost until my dying breath. This is my duty”

The courtiers in the grand hall were also full of praise. “General Yacouba is truly the pillar of our nation.”

The Golden Tower Empire is indeed fortunate to have Mr. Perris!”

“General Yacouba is the shield of our empire, safeguarding the Golden Tower Empire.

Huston, hearing these sycophantic praises from his courtiers, felt his anger boiling within.

He wished he could strip these flatterers of their titles and have them all beheaded.

But he knew, as much as he despised these courtiers‘ ways, he couldn’t just have them executed.

Doing so would make him no different from a tyrant.

Mr. Franko, the General Yacouba is an important general of the country. He is famous all over the world and has a wide range of abilities. It is just right for him to worship the Ice God At this time, Imperial Preceptor Levi praised.

Huston coldly responded, “Imperial Preceptor, General Yacouba being the pillar of our nation, is certainly capable of undertaking this mission, unlike some who claim to share my worries but prefer to stay in Fensville, fearing for their own

lives.

His words were clearly a dig at Levi and the silent ministers.
