Chapter 42: , Alpine Fortress (below)

PS. The book group is 725051233. There are very few people now. Welcome everyone to exchange and blow water.

The underground tunnel is the masterpiece of the dwarves, which can be traced back thousands of years ago. In the heyday of the dwarves, the emperor of the human empire Charlemagne and the supreme king of the dwarves Kazadni agreed that the plains and hills on the continent belong to human beings, and the mountains, wastelands, The plateau and many terrains that are not suitable for human habitation belong to the dwarves. Humans and dwarves are closely related. Any human beings who come to a dwarf country will be warmly received, and dwarves will also receive hospitality from the local nobles when they come to the human empire.

Therefore, the dwarves in their heyday built a huge project. By building numerous and countless underground tunnels, they linked most of the mountains in the world. Thanks to the huge underground tunnels, the dwarves' footsteps spread all over the world. , and created a splendid civilization.

Until the green skin appeared.

The appearance of the greenskin brought a heavy disaster to the dwarves. The result of the war that lasted for hundreds of years was that the dwarves collectively retreated to the roof of the world, and even the eternal peak of the dwarf royal court fell in the hands of the greenskin, which was used to facilitate passage in the past. Instead, the underground tunnels were used by greenskins, which brought countless bitter fruits to both dwarves and humans. Now the underground tunnels are filled with a large number of greenskins, some of which are hiding in them and expanding them into cities. Dark elves, and trying to recover some of them Dwarven expeditions that tunnel and reuse them.

God knows whether it will be a passionate dwarf friend, a nasty black-skinned pointy ear, or a **** green-skinned one coming out of this big pit? Ryan couldn't take that risk.

"I will inform the Nord Royal Court later and ask them to send someone to use gunpowder to blow up this hole. Now let's go upstairs and have a look." Ryan left the **** basement.

As the two walked up the stone stairs, Ryan suddenly asked with interest, "Ester, don't you like melee combat?"

"Because melee combat is inherently evil, a symbol of savagery and violence. A truly honorable duel should be one person, one bow, one bag of arrows, and one person showing off his skills and speed, right?" Estelle complained. Said: "Using melee weapons is really rude and barbaric, and it is easy to cause casualties."

"Hey, hey, the white wolf knight in front of you..." A black line appeared on Ryan's head. The white wolf **** of war Uric hated long-range weapons and advocated that pure men want melee combat, so the white wolf knights always Try to avoid using long-range weapons to annoy Uric, even Ryan occasionally throws a throwing knife or something.

You say that in our White Wolf Knights, it will be regarded as a heresy.

"So you don't have melee units in the forest? All are long-range? Is it impossible? Are all woodland guards composed of archers?" Ryan was a little puzzled. Estelle was born in the territory of wood elves, and wood elves were very Mysterious, but I know with my knees that the army can't have only long-range soldiers. This is courting death in war.

"Woodland guards are of course composed of archers. As for the melee soldiers in your mouth, they are called eternal guards. They hold giant shields and use spears and scimitars to fight, but everyone is also a good hand with bows and arrows." Estelle shrugged and followed closely behind Ryan. The gray-white stone wall beside him was damaged in many places due to disrepair. The cold wind from the shooting hole made the half-elf shrink his neck: "The rest I can't tell you more, you just need to know that although the Eternal Guards are close combat, they are not inferior to the Woodland Guards in their use of bows and arrows."

"But the Eternal Guard takes longer to train, right? For example, if the woodland guard takes ten years to train, then the Eternal Guard may take thirty years? Thirty years is enough for two beasts to live a life. Twenty beastmen warbands have been sent out, and I now understand why the wood elves' army is far superior to those beastmen warbands in both quantity and quality, but they are still plagued by those beastmen, because you are completely I can't support the consumption of a long-term war, right?" Ryan said step by step, spit out.

"...as you say, even though the forest has always been victorious in wars against the filth for decades, our population and armies are declining, and...the treemen have been corrupted in recent years. It's getting worse, and it's hard for me to imagine that those wild and abnormal tree people elders are the amiable and wise elders in fairy tales." Estelle shook his head with disappointment: "We have to form more forest patrols and Eternal guard troops, to make up for the loss of combat power."

Ryan nodded silently. The tree people are very, very important combat power among the wood elves. The ordinary tree people are several meters tall, and the tall ancient tree people are even dozens of meters high. Human soldiers take to the skies, their bodies reinforced with magic and runes less afraid of the firearms and bows that are the mainstay of the Wood Elves' army.

The two did not continue the topic because the destination had arrived.

In other words, it was not because the destination had arrived, but because there was no road ahead. The stairs of the tower were severely damaged. The distance between the broken stairs was seven or eight steps away. On the opposite side, a lonely wooden door appeared in front of the two of them.

After a short discussion, the two decided to divide the labor. Ryan asked Estelle to go back to inform the caravan that the fortress was not a suitable resting place. After seeing the half-elf leaving, Ryan turned his attention to the lonely wooden door opposite the broken staircase. .

The distance of seven or eight steps is a distance that is difficult for mortals to cross, even the dexterous skills of a half-elf cannot cross.

But I am different, I am my father's son.

If he wanted to do it, Ryan began to step back slowly, he retreated a distance of seven or eight steps, then took his own steps, kicked down his right leg hard, and jumped, the powerful psychic energy gathered around him, like the early spring. The breeze lifted his heavy chain armor and body, and with the sound of the landing, the White Wolf Knight successfully landed on the other side.

The heavy and decayed wooden door was pushed open by the White Wolf Knight with brute force, and the wooden door bolt shattered under Ryan's powerful force. At the moment when the door was opened, Ryan stepped back abruptly, raised the warhammer, and it was done. Ready for battle.

There was no movement. As he imagined, the enemy attack did not happen. When he walked into the house, the furnishings inside were very simple. There was only a table, a simple wooden bed, a window that was sealed from the inside, and A... skeleton sitting on a chair.

Judging from the spider silk and dust on the skeleton, the skeleton should have stayed in this place for at least two years. The corpse has been completely decomposed, and its palm is placed on the book.

"The skull is intact, which means he is always human." Ryan muttered to himself.

Sometimes it is difficult to explain the obsession of the Empire with skulls. All the Knights of the Empire have skulls on their emblems. The sacred crown, which symbolizes the status of the emperor, is the shape of the skull, whether it is the emperor himself or a symbol of human power. The hard-core electors like to decorate themselves with skull patterns.

When Ryan first came to this world, he thought that there was some kind of Monkey D Luffy who created the era of the Great Pirate. Everyone wants to be the Pirate King, so everyone loves to use this.

Later he learned that the skull symbolizes purity.

The temptation of chaos is always threatening human beings. Anyone who succumbs to chaos will have terrible mutations. As long as they fall, they will never be able to change back to their original appearance. There are only pure and flawless skulls, proving that they have never surrendered to chaos. yield.

Likewise, skulls are cherished trophies of Chaos Warriors and Chaos Champions and even Demon Princes.

With doubt and curiosity, Ryan gently picked up the book.

The book is very old, the handwriting is blurred in some places, and the ink in some places has faded because it has not been well preserved. This man's low gothic language is quite lame, and there are many typos in many places and even forced spelling. Strange characters, but still able to read the general meaning.

Low Gothic is the language used by the common peasant and bourgeoisie and even the lower nobles. This language is easy to understand and easier to master, but it is less standardized in terms of text and accent. If you speak High Gothic It can allow the great nobles on both sides of the continent to communicate easily and fluently, so the low Gothic languages ​​of the Nord Kingdom and the Tuscan electorate in the southern part of the empire are simply two languages ​​from writing to pronunciation.

"The imperial calendar is 1469, the third year I came to Scarville Mountain."

Ryan frowned. This happened more than ten years ago.

"I encountered a big event today. A brother said that he saw a person washing clothes at the source of the river when he was in the mountain. Ha, we were amused. How can we see people in such a ghost place? No one would spend money I came to this place to do laundry in two days, I think we can laugh at this joke for a day, hahahahaha~”

"Well, I think my brethren are obsessed, and two loyal soldiers told me today that they saw a man washing clothes at the source of the river, but asked them to describe what the man looked like. I don't know, or I can't say anything, I can only say that he is very tall, very tall, and has long bright golden hair."

"These big-headed soldiers are really crazy! They told me today that they saw someone washing clothes when they were on patrol. What the hell? Did their years of military life teach them to see people washing clothes?"

"It seems that something is wrong. There are more and more soldiers seeing this situation. It seems that there is really a family in the deep mountains."

"Maybe I should take someone to see it."

Then there was a long blank, several pages were torn out, and then a different handwriting was changed.

"In 1472 of the imperial calendar, our fortress welcomed a nasty knight on a mission. These knights from Brittany seem to be out of their minds. I don't know that the little brat told him that there is a seal in the mountains. Rumors of monsters?"

"There is something wrong with the situation. The mission knight has been gone for more than a week, but there is still no news."

The next few pages are full of scribbles, dust and dirt, and some inexplicable text.

"Thank goodness! It was that mysterious recluse who saved us! Damn Britannia knight! He actually brought in a terrifying gang of beastmen in order to show his lady's prowess! We're still outnumbered. , at a critical moment, our friends came to rescue us, God, I have never seen a person with such a tall figure and powerful strength, my head was on his arm!"

"Our friend was wearing a very wide full-body plate armor, wearing a black wolfskin cloak, and holding a huge one-handed sword. He slashed the invincible screaming shaman with his sword, and let the beastmaster flee, the beastman. Finally lost."

"We brought out the best food and treasured wines to entertain this guest. Our friend was not polite, but he didn't want to tell us his name and title. He said that he was a guilty person, and it was inconvenient to disclose it. Name and title, he asked us about the World Tree, but unfortunately none of us knew, we could only tell him that there are many elves in the southern knight kingdom, and disappointed, he said goodbye to us."

What followed was some running accounts. Ryan turned back hard. He noticed that the notes and handwriting had been changed by another person, obviously another captain of the guard.

Turning to the last few pages, the handwriting became hurried: "Beastmen are here again, there are hundreds of them, they have besieged the fortress, we can't hold on, at most tomorrow, tomorrow morning, if reinforcements don't come... ...we'll fight to the last man."

"We couldn't escape, the fierce battle attracted the greenskins, they emerged from the basement, the greenskins, regardless of who they were, attacked us directly with the beastmen~www.wuxiahere.com~ This gave us a breather At the same time, Hans used a trap in desperation to smash the stairs, and I retreated here."

"We can't escape."

This is the end of the diary, or military diary.

Full body plate armor? Wolfskin cloak? tall and big? Ryan frowned, and most of the people who would decorate himself with wolf skins were the knights of the White Wolf Knights.

Hmm~ The guilty one, one person fighting back the Beastmen War Gang, and asking about the World Tree...

Ryan's eyes gradually lit up.

Yes, it must be him, there will be no one else but him.

The former head wolf, the former head of the White Wolf Knights who was canonized by the White Wolf God of War as the "Wolf Lord", a strong man in the sanctuary, known as "Iron Claw" Logan Frings.

It was only in the great holy war one hundred and fifty years ago that Logan tasted a shameful defeat. The Knights of the White Wolf suffered heavy losses in the war against the Chaos army, and the Archbishop of the White Wolf died in honor, even if no one was there. After the war was over, he was investigated for his fault. The great white wolf paladin still chose to exile himself. He put down the knight badge that symbolized his glory and left the White Wolf City alone. He has never heard from him again.

Just why did he look for the World Tree?

Ryan instinctively felt that there must be a story in it, and it must be related to the arrival of Uric.

What is Logan looking for? Why did Uric drop his avatar for a Beastman's head?

More and more doubts filled Ryan's mind.

Until the sound of the savage horn outside brought his thoughts back to reality, Ryan immediately realized that something was happening outside.

Yup! Why hasn't Estelle come back! ?

Damn, something happened!
