Warhammer Throne

Chapter 41: , Alpine Fortress (Part 1)

PS: The book group 725051233, welcome everyone to come to exchange water.

When I saw a hint of white belly that day, the exhausted caravan finally came to the hillside of Scavill Mountain.

In the distance, on the mountainside full of shrubs and meadows, a small river flows down from the mountain. In mid-winter, the river is completely frozen. Looking at the snow on the mountain and the white sky, it is like a river from the sky to the ground. , A high mountain fortress stands there. The fortress is divided into two layers, which looks quite deterrent in the distance.

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

"We don't care whether there is a master in it, we only **** you here, and we don't care about the rest!" Gray Blade Bilger, with his eyes circled in black, left the crowd behind, carrying the remaining dozens of the Gray Blade Mercenary Group. Leaving in the other direction.

Last night’s negotiations collapsed unexpectedly. The Grey Blade Mercenary Group’s price 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% profit.

Oliver and Mats discussed it privately 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 Trovik.

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

Since 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 couldn’t think of a reason for rejection. In fact, he could vaguely feel that this thing might have been caused by his own reasons. These wild orcs came here completely prepared, which is not like a robbery at all. Passing caravans, this is more like a premeditated attack.

Out of the Cavaliers' sense of responsibility and mission, Ryan believes that he has enough reasons to help Oliver and Mats complete this business, even if he does nothing, he will not be blamed, but there are some bottom lines that he needs to follow spontaneously.

There is still a bottom line to be a man.

"You wait outside first, and Esterer and I will go in first." In broad daylight, this fortress on a high mountain appeared strangely quiet, and the caravan shouted inside many times, but received no response.

The fortress collapsed inward. Many parts of the stone fortress walls have collapsed due to lack of maintenance, so safety cannot be guaranteed from the outside. From this, Ryan also concluded that there would be no bandits outside the fortress staying here for a long time. In conclusion, it is not safe to say that the forest is safe. If bandits stay here for a long time, they will at least slightly repair the external walls.

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

"I and Esterel go in and have a look, Teresa, please wait outside." Ryan told the people outside and walked towards the alpine fortress with Esterel, while the rest of the people were Camp and rest on the spot, waiting for news.

With the help of Emilia, Teresa reluctantly dismounted and found a place to sit. The sorcerer was uncomfortable, her face palely leaning against a stone, but she still kept her sober consciousness.

Today’s weather is very cloudy. The air in the morning is slightly moist. It seems to seep into the bone marrow when it blows on her body. Emilia shrank her neck subconsciously. Leather armor, brown tight leather pants and boots, but her eyes were filled with perseverance, and the cold didn't make her shrink.

"Amy... Leah?" The sorcerer leaned aside and spoke to the mercenary without warning. The mercenary's heart beat and shrank silently: "Ms. Trovik, what's your order? What? Tell me please?"

"Nothing to order, I just think your name is a bit... special. What did you do before?" The female warlock forced herself to divert her attention away from her physical discomfort. She thought that she would rather call Ryan the whole journey. She hugs her body, and don't ride horses or carriages anymore, she is really fed up with the bumps along the way.

"Me? I used to be the daughter of a businessman. Later, on a trade road, a **** beast attacked our caravan. My father and uncle died in that battle, leaving me alone. I Knowing that even if the sale of all the property would not be worth the loss, she escaped overnight and became a mercenary." Emilia lowered her head and told a common story. The female warlock didn't think about anything, she immediately looked at her. Put it on Emilia's sword.

This female mercenary is carrying two swords, a rapier, the width of the blade is roughly between 2.5 to 3 cm, the blade is very long, she has been using this rapier before, and the hilt of a sword The scabbard was wrapped in thick linen by the female mercenaries. This sword was bigger, like a one-handed long sword. The only load-bearing ball that could be seen was similar to Ryan's sword, and it was a silver skeleton.

"Your swords all look special?" The sorcerer asked, "Why do you carry two swords like those demon hunters?"

Demon hunters usually carry two swords, a silver sword to slash chaotic creatures, and a steel sword to deal with humanoid creatures, beasts, or...humans.

"This sword? This rapier is a ceremonial sword, not for actual combat. I took it easily when I was escaping, but I am a woman who doesn't have the strength of a man, and I can't use the two-handed swords they use. So I just used this sword.” Emilia whispered: “As for this one-handed long sword, it is my family’s heirloom. It is said that it was owned by a nobleman of the old empire. Your majesty’s fief and title were confiscated during the liquidation. The family’s ancestors took the opportunity to buy this sword at a high price. I don’t know much about the other things, and I took it with me when I escaped.”

"That's it." Teresa changed her sitting position to make herself more comfortable. Seeing that 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 on a mountain with a height of more than 100 meters. It is divided into an outer wall surrounded by high walls and an open space inside, as well as three or four-story towers. A river from the mountain passes through the middle of the fortress. However, the river is now frozen.

Ryan held the hammer in both hands. The golden griffon-headed war hammer radiated golden light under the dim light of the fortress. The half-elf followed him closely, and the arrow was placed on the bowstring, carefully watching every move in the fortress. .

Withered lichen and alpine moss grew on the ground of the fortress. Ryan made noises when he stepped on his riding boots. White sunlight penetrated from the cracks and gaps on the top of the fortress into the dark fortress. The entrance was empty, some only stone and mud. , There are 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 in which the fortress was breached. Look, Ryan, there is no trace of battle at the gate." The half-elf inspected the scratches on the walls and pillars, and shook his head: "Obviously, the enemy is not from From 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 there was nothing inside the hall, and 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. The half-elf couldn't open it with all his strength, so he could only step back and shook his head: " I can't push the door open. According to the feel, it shouldn't be blocked inside, but blocked by something."

"Stay back." Ryan raised the warhammer, and 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 as a half-elf. After scanning the white wolf knight badge on Ryan's chest, he closed his mouth.

"Boom!" The sound of the warhammer hitting the 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. Estel curled his mouth and bowed his bow and set an arrow: "It's a barbarian, too violent."

"We don't have a locksmith, Bilger is gone, dear Esterel." Ryan took a deep breath and raised the 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 figures rushed out of it, waving a sword and rushing towards the door: "I Xunsi failed to ambush this time, so , Waaaaaaagh!"

"Waaaaagh!"

More than a dozen goblins rushed out of the tower like a green tide, and among them there was even a sturdy orc Orc. This green leather body was wearing extremely tattered armor, holding a machete, and exuding A very unpleasant smell, it rushed towards Ryan in big strides: "I'm thinking that I'm going to give you a good beating in this mess, **** human!"

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

"Shit~" Ryan snorted. He swept with the warhammer before the green-skinned boy got close. The three goblins that came out of the first wave were knocked off all at once, and some hit the wall directly, and then the white wolf. The knight directly stretched out his hand to pinch the head of a goblin, and directly crushed the head in all the green eyes and threw it aside.

The white wolf knight’s body stepped back a little, and one person greeted the Ouke orc. The muscles on the green skin were very strong. The machete in his hand slashed straight down, while Ryan raised his hammer to block. After the weapons clashed, Ryan swiftly followed up, he moved quickly, and the powerful arm of the warhammer's hammer overcame the reaction force, hitting the green-skinned boy's right shoulder.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh After that, he immediately retracted the hammer to resist. The hammer handle and machete splashed out a lot of sparks. Ryan turned his hand back and grabbed behind him. He grabbed the head of a goblin who wanted to stab his back.

Ryan threw this 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 and fell to the ground together, the goblin. In this way, his head was directly inserted into the green-skinned boy's mouth.

The white psionic blade flickered through the heads of the goblins and the green-skinned boy. Under the twisting of Ryan's right hand, the two heads were strung together and cut off.

"Oh! Ryan! Come and help me!" On the other side, Ester was already in a bitter battle. Facing the goblin's close-range attack, the half-elf reluctantly drew a pair of daggers from the side of the quiver behind him. Efforts to resist the attack of the Goblin, he completely lost his previous agility and swiftness, and even lost his usual grace, left-handed and right-handed.

The challenge levels of goblins range from ordinary intermediate to elite elementary level. Estel is an elite high-level half-elf ranger. The difficulty of dealing with a few goblins makes Ryan feel secretly funny, but he is also This confirms a fact.

The half-elves are not good at melee combat at all. Although the rangers are not as good at melee combat as the melee class, they are not as messy and embarrassed as Ester. His leather armor has been cut a few times.

A green big head was thrown in the past, and the goblin that was hit in the head was about to shout at who did it and stand up for me. As soon as I saw what it was, he shouted: "The big guy is dead." ! The boys are struggling with their ideas, run away!"

"Escape!!" The remaining goblins saw that the green-skinned boy as the leader died, and immediately chose to escape. Many goblins in turn fled towards the inside of the tower, leaving behind a corpse and disappearing in one place. Corner of the building.

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

"Really... savage, rude, and subordinate fighting methods. These green skins are always so annoying. Their fighting methods are as annoying as the smell on them. The best way is to purify them with flames!" Half-elf's There was a lot of dust on his body, and his face was gray: "It seems that there are indeed green skins in this fortress."

"So we have to move fast, if nothing happens." Ryan immediately walked into the tower.

The half-elf felt a little embarrassed, so he hurried to keep up.

Walking down the spiral staircase of the tower, the two people saw a scene like hell. Numerous human bones and green skin bones filled the entire basement. On the wall of the basement, a huge hole seemed to tell that this happened. The reason for this battle was that the human soldiers resisted desperately. The faces of these bones all faced this cavity, and no one faced it with their backs.

"It's the greenskins. They dug through the basement of this tower. The defenders resisted desperately, but they were still outnumbered. Maybe the defenders had withdrawn part of it, or maybe they didn't. In short, Verald or other lords did not intend to Send an army to regain this place, because the ghost knows how many green skins will flow into this place after the underground tunnel is opened up? Today is a goblin, tomorrow is a green skin boy, maybe after that, it will be a big green skin guy. 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. Let these green-skinned orcs fight more precious military power. Good."

The pitch-black tunnel is not bottomless. Just looking at the black road can feel the deep icy cold. Ryan tried to block it with some materials, but the white wolf knight knew in his heart that this couldn't stop the 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 made a judgment. This alpine fortress must not stay because it has been forcibly connected to the underground tunnel!

"Go upstairs and have a look."
