PS: The book group 725051233, everyone is welcome to exchange ideas.

When I saw a trace of grey dawn that day, the exhausted caravan finally came to the hillside of Scavier Mountain.

In the distance, on the mountainside full of shrubs and meadows, a small river drips from the mountain. In the mid-winter season, the river is completely frozen, and then looking at the snow on the mountain and the white sky, it’s almost Like a river from the sky to the ground, a high mountain fortress stands there. The fortress is divided into two layers and looks quite deterrent in the distance.

"I hope this fortress welcomes our guests." Ryan was riding on his horse, and he was tired from the night's fighting and the nightly driving.

"We don’t care if there is a master in it, we only escort you here, and we don’t care about the rest!" Gray Blade Bilger cast his eyes off, leaving everyone behind, carrying the Gray Blade mercenary. The remaining dozen people in the group moved towards another direction and left.

Last night’s negotiations collapsed unexpectedly. The offer of the Grey Blade Mercenary Group was too high for the merchants to accept. They demanded 30% of the profit from the sale of Sea Heart Stone.

Similarly, several wandering Knights also demanded 30% of the profit.

Oliver and Mats discussed in private and told them an answer. 30% of the profit from the sale of Sea Heart Stone will be divided equally between White Wolf Knight Ryan and Garland Councillor Teresa Trow Vic.

As for Grey Blade and these wandering Knights, there is not a single one.

Because the blood axe mercenary group is hired by Teresa, it will not participate in the division.

Faced with the money delivered to the door, Ryan could not think of the reason for rejection. In fact, he could vaguely feel that this thing might be caused by his own reasons. These wild beast people are completely prepared and prepared. Come, this is simply not like robbing a passing caravan, it's more like a premeditated attack.

Out of Knight’s sense of responsibility and mission, Ryan believes that he has enough reasons to help Oliver and Mats complete this business trip. Even if he does nothing, he will not be blamed, but some He needs to follow the bottom line spontaneously.

Being a man still has a bottom line.

"Wait outside first, Ester and I will go in and have a look." In broad daylight, this fortress on a high mountain appeared strangely quiet, and the caravans shouted inside many times, but Did not get any response.

The fortress collapsed inward. Many parts of the stone fortress wall have collapsed due to lack of maintenance. Therefore, the safety cannot be guaranteed from the outside. Therefore, Ryan also concluded that there will be no outside The conclusion that the bandits have been stationed here for a long time is not safe in the forest. If there are bandits stationed here for a long time, they will at least repair the outer wall slightly.

As for whether this is a trap or not, Ryan feels hard to say. Everything will be known only after going in.

"I will go in with Esterel and have a look, Teresa, please wait outside." Ryan instructed everyone outside and moved towards the alpine fortress with Esterel, The rest of the people camped and rested on the spot, waiting for news.

With the help of Emilia, Teresa reluctantly got off her horse and found a place to sit. The female warlock was unwell, she leaned palely on a rock, but she still kept her sober consciousness. .

Today’s weather is very cloudy. The air in the morning is slightly moist, and it seems to seep into the bone marrow when it blows on her body. Emilia shrank her neck subconsciously. The female mercenary’s clothes were not thick. She was only wearing a simple robe and leather armor, as well as brown tight leather pants and boots, but her eyes were filled with perseverance, and the cold did not make her shrink.

"Amy...Leah?" The female warlock leaned aside and moved towards the female mercenary without warning. The female mercenary's heart beat and shrank silently: "Special Ms. Lowick, do you have any orders? Please tell me?"

"No orders, I just think your name is a bit...special. You used to be and so on?" The sorcerer forced herself to Attention shifted away from the physical discomfort. She thought that she would rather ask Ryan to hug her during the next journey instead of riding a horse or riding a carriage. She really had enough of the bumps along the way.

"Me? I used to be the daughter of a businessman. Later, on a trade road, a damn wild beast attacked our caravan. My father and Uncle died in that battle. Just leaving me alone, I knew that even if the sale of all the property would not be worth the loss, I escaped overnight and became a mercenary." Emilia lowered her head and told a common story, and the female warlock didn't think about anything. , She immediately set her eyes on Emilia's sword.

This female mercenary is carrying Two Swords, a thin sword. The width of the blade is roughly 2.5 to 3 cm. The blade is very long. She has been using this thin sword before. The hilt and scabbard of a sword are wrapped in thick linen by the female mercenaries. This sword is bigger, like a one-handed long sword. The only load-bearing ball you can see is similar to Ryan’s sword. It is a silver skeleton.

"Your swords all look special?" The sorcerer asked: "How come you are like those Demon Hunters with Two Swords?"

Demon Hunter usually With Two Swords, a silver sword is used to slash chaotic creatures, and a steel sword is used to deal with humanoids, wild beasts or...humans.

"This sword? This rapier is a ceremony sword, not for actual combat. It was used when I was escaping, but I am a woman who doesn’t have the strength of a man. The hands they use are big I can’t use the sword, so I just use this sword.” Emilia whispered: “As for this one-handed long sword, it’s my family’s heirloom. It is said to be owned by a nobleman in the old empire. After Ludwig Your Majesty’s liquidation was confiscated, Fiefdom and knighthood were confiscated. The family’s ancestors took the opportunity to buy this sword at a high price. I don’t know much about it. I also took it with me when I escaped. I'm on it."

"That's it." Teresa changed her sitting position to make herself more comfortable. Seeing Emilia didn't want to stir up the topic, she didn't say much.

The interior of the alpine fortress.

This is a fortress built around a hundred meters away from the mountain. It is divided into an outer wall surrounded by a high wall and an open space inside, as well as three 4-Layer high towers from the mountain. One of the rivers runs through the middle of the fort, and the river is currently frozen.

Ryan holds the hammer in both hands, the golden griffin head Warhammer exudes golden light under the dim light of the fortress, the half-elf follows him closely, and the feather arrow is placed on the bowstring, cautiously Watching every move in the fortress.

The ground of the fortress was covered with withered lichen and alpine moss. Ryan made noises on riding boots. White sunlight penetrated into the dark fortress from the cracks and gaps on the top of the fortress, and the entrance was empty. , There are only stones and soil, and weeds everywhere.

"There are traces of fighting, but it should be years ago." Ryan squatted on the ground, and he found traces of fighting inside the fort: "Ester, have you found anything? "

"...It seems, it doesn't feel like a battle where the fortress was breached. Look, Ryan, there are no signs of battle at the gate." The half-elf inspected the scratches on the walls and pillars. , Shook his head: "Obviously, the enemy did not attack from the outside."

"Emmm, internal fighting? These people are not afraid of going to the Kingdom Court? Let's go and see elsewhere." Ryan also found it strange. , But nothing inside the hall, Ryan decided to look at the situation inside the tower.

"The door is blocked, we can't get in." The wooden door leading to the tower was blocked by something, and the half-elf could not open it with all his strength, so he could only retreat Go to the back and shook my head: "I can't push the door open. According to the feel, it shouldn't be locked inside, but blocked by something."

"Go back." Ryan Raising Warhammer, the half-elf immediately realized what he wanted to do. He instinctively wanted to open his mouth and say that you would be guilty of doing this if discovered by the Nord army, but when the half-elf's eyes swept across Ryan's chest After the former white Wolf Knight badge, he closed his mouth.

"boom!" The sound of Warhammer hitting a heavy object echoed in the hall.

At the same time, there seemed to be a commotion behind the gate. Ryan narrowed his eyes and gave Ike a look: ready to fight.

"boom!" With another heavy blow, the door showed signs of cracking. Estelle curled his lips to bend bow and place arrow: "It's Barbarian, it's too violent."

"We don't have a locksmith, Bilger is gone, dear Esterel." Ryan took a deep breath and raised Warhammer again: "So, keep it simple, it's good for us."

"boom!!!" With the third hammer blow, the gate of the tower was finally shattered by Ryan's attack. A large number of green silhouettes rushed out of them, and they moved towards the door with a sword and rushed towards the door: "I wonder This time the ambush failed, so, waaaaaaagh!!!"

"waaaaagh!"

A dozen goblins rushed out of the tower like green tide, among them even There is also a sturdy orc Orc. This green leather body is wearing extremely tattered armor and holding a machete. The body exudes a very unpleasant smell. It strides towards Ryan and rushes: "I wonder I want to give you a good beating in this mess, damn human!"

It's the green-skinned kid! The basic soldier among the Orcs!

"Shit~" Ryan sipped. He used Warhammer to sweep before the green boy got close. The three goblins rushed out in the first wave were all knocked out, some of them directly hit. On the wall, then White Wolf Knight directly reached out and pinched the head of a goblin, crushing the head directly in all the green skin's eyes and throwing it aside.

White Wolf Knight’s body receded a little, and a person greeted the Ouke Orc. The muscles on the green skin were very strong. The machete in his hand slashed straight down, while Ryan was lifting the hammer. After the block and the weapon confrontation, Ryan quickly followed up. He moved quickly. Warhammer's hammer was able to overcome the reaction force under his powerful arm and hit the green-skinned boy's right shoulder.

"Ahhhh!" The shoulder was wounded, and this green-skinned boy turned out to be fierce. Although his right arm was useless, the machete in his left hand exploded with even greater power, Ryan After a moment of hesitation, he immediately retracted the hammer to resist. The hammer handle and machete splashed out a large number of fire stars. Ryan turned his hand back and grabbed behind him, and he grabbed the head of a goblin who wanted to stab his back.

Ryan threw the goblin directly at the green-skinned boy. The goblin drew a wonderful arc in the air, and then its head and the green-skinned boy’s head collided with each other. When he fell to the ground, the goblin's head was directly inserted into the green-skinned boy's mouth.

White's psionic blade flashed through the heads of the goblins and the green-skinned boy. Ryan's right hand twisted and the two heads were strung together and cut off.

"Oh! Ryan! Come and help me!" On the other side, Ester was already in a hard fight. Faced with a close-range attack from the goblins, the half-elf reluctantly quivered from behind him. A pair of daggers were drawn next to him, struggling to resist the goblin's attack. He lost his previous agility and swiftness at all, and even lost his usual grace, supporting left and right awkwardly.

The challenge level of goblins ranges from ordinary intermediate to elite elementary level. Estel is an elite half-elf knight-errant. It is so difficult to deal with a few goblins. Ryan felt secretly funny, but he also confirmed a fact from this.

Half-elves are not good at melee combat at all. Usually, although knight-errants are not as good at melee combat as the melee class, they are not as busy as Ester, battered and exhausted. His leather armor has been A few holes were drawn.

A green's big head was thrown over, and the goblin that was hit in the head was about to open his mouth and curse who did it for me to stand up, but as soon as I saw what it was, it became big Yelled: "The big guy is dead! The boys have a lot of ideas, run away!"

"Flee!!!" The remaining goblins saw the leader of the green-skinned boy die. Immediately choose to escape, many goblins in turn moved towards the inside of the tower to escape, leaving behind a corpse and disappearing at the corner of the first floor.

"Your advanced class is jungle shooter, am I right?" Ryan stretched out his hand to pull Ester up, and said with a shrug.

"It's really...barbarous, rude, and lower-made battle method. These green skins are always so annoying. Their battle method is as annoying as the smell on them. The best way is to use The flame purifies them!" The half-elf's body was covered in dirt, covered in dirt: "It seems that there are indeed green skins in this fortress."

"So we must move fast, if no accidents happen. If you want." Ryan immediately moved towards the tower and walked inside.

The half-elf felt a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly followed.

Walking down the spiral staircase of the tower, the two people saw a scene like hell. Numerous human bones and green-skinned bones filled the entire basement. On the wall of the basement, one The huge cavity seemed to tell the cause of this battle. The human soldiers resisted desperately, and the faces of these bones were all moved towards this cavity, and no one turned their backs to it.

"It’s the greenskins. They dug through the basement of this tower. The defenders resisted desperately, but they were still outnumbered. Perhaps the defenders were partly withdrawn, or maybe not. In short, Willard or Other lords do not plan to send troops to regain this place, because the ghost knows how many green skins will flood into this place after the underground tunnel is opened up? Today is a goblin, tomorrow is a green skin kid, maybe he will come later It’s the green-skinned guy, or even the green-skinned army.” Ryan inspected the bottomless pit in the basement, and then squeezed his chin to judge: “So the only option is to withdraw and let these greenskins and wild beasts. It’s better to fight with people than to consume precious military power."

The dark tunnels are not bottomless. Just looking at the black road can feel the deep ice cold. Ryan tried to use some materials to It blocked, but White Wolf Knight knew in his heart that this couldn't stop Green Skin at all.

"We must not be stationed here at night! Let's take a rest outside and get on the road immediately!" Ryan immediately judged that this alpine fortress must not stay because it has been forcibly linked underground. Tunnel!

"Go upstairs and have a look."
