Chapter 42, Alpine Fortress (Part 2)

ps. This book group is 725051233. There are very few people now. Everyone is welcome to communicate and blow water.!

The underground tunnel is a masterpiece of the dwarves, which can be traced back to thousands of years ago. During the heyday of the dwarves, the emperor of the human empire, Charlemagne, and the supreme king of the dwarves, Kazardney, agreed that the plains and hills of the continent belong to humans, mountains, wastelands, plateaus, and many terrains that are not suitable for human habitation belong to dwarves. Humans and dwarves are closely related to dwarves. Any human being who comes to dwarves will be warmly received, and dwarves will also be hospitalized by local nobles when they come to human empire.

Therefore, the dwarves, who were in their heyday, built a huge project. They connected most of the mountains in the world by building numerous underground tunnels. Thanks to the huge underground tunnels, the dwarves' footsteps spread all over the world and created a brilliant and brilliant light.

Until the green skin appears.

The emergence of green skin brought heavy disasters to the dwarves. The war that lasted for hundreds of years was that the dwarves collectively retreated to the roof of the world. Even the Eternal Peak of the Dwarves' Court fell on the hands of Green Skin. The underground tunnels that were used to facilitate access in the past were used by Green Skin, which brought countless bitter fruits to both the dwarves and humans. The underground tunnels are now filled with a large amount of green skins, and some of them are hidden and expanded into cities. There are also the Dwarves Expeditionary Forces who tried to recapture some of the tunnels and reuse them.

God knows that what emerges from this big pit will be enthusiastic dwarf friends, annoying black-skinned sharp ears or damn green-skinned? Ryan can't take this risk.

"I will inform the Nord Court of the Palace to send someone to use gunpowder to blow the hole up. Now let's take a look." Ryan left a bloody basement.

As the two men walked along the stone stairs, Ryan suddenly asked with interest: "Estel, don't you like melee?"

"Because melee combat is an evil way, a symbol of barbarism and violence. A true show of honor should be a person with a bow and a bag of arrows to show his skills and speed to the fullest, right?" Estel complained: "Using melee weapons is really rude and barbaric, and casualties are easily caused."

"Hey, hey, the White Wolf Knight is in front of you..." A black line appeared in Ryan's head. The White Wolf God of War Yurik disliked long-range weapons and advocated that pure men would fight melee, so the White Wolf Knights always tried to avoid using long-range weapons to make Yurik unhappy. Even Ryan occasionally threw a flying knife or something.

If you say this, our White Wolf Knights will be regarded as heresy.

"So you don't have melee troops in the forest? They are all long-range? Is it impossible? Are all forest guards all composed of archers?" Ryan was a little confused. Estel was born in the territory of the wood elves. The wood elves were very mysterious, but with their knees, they knew that the army could not have only long-range soldiers. This was a search for death in the war.

"The forest guards of course are all composed of archers. As for the melee soldiers you call Ryan, they are called Eternal Guards, holding giant shields, fighting with spears and scimitars, but everyone is a good archer." Estel shrugged and followed behind Ryan. The gray-white stone wall next to him was damaged due to disrepair. The cold wind blowing from the shooting hole made the half-elves shrink their necks: "I can't tell you much about the rest. You just need to know that although Eternal Guards fight melee, they are not inferior to the woodland guards when they use bows and arrows."

"But Eternal Guards take longer to train, right? Just to make a point, based on the training time of the forest guards for ten years, then eternal Guards may take thirty years? Thirty years is enough for two beasts to give birth to twenty beast war gangs. I now understand why the army of the wood elves is far better than those beast war gangs in terms of quantity and quality, but they are still troubled by those beasts, because you can't support the long-term war consuming, right?" Ryan said casually with one footstep by one.

"... As you said, although forests have always won wars against filthy for decades, our population and army numbers have declined, and... the corruption of tree people has been getting worse in recent years. It is hard for me to imagine that those violent tree elders are fairy tales and amiable wise elders." Estel shook his head with disappointment: "We have to form more forest teams and eternal guards to make up for the loss of combat power."

Ryan nodded silently. Treemen are very, very important combat power of wood elves. Ordinary treemen are several meters high, and their tall ancient treemen are even dozens of meters high. They slightly wave their arms to allow several human soldiers to fly to the sky. The bodies reinforced by magic and talismans are not so afraid of various firearms and bows and arrows. They are the mainstays of the wood elves army.

The two of them did not continue the topic because the destination was here.

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

After a brief discussion, the two decided to divide the work. Ryan asked Estel to go back and notify the caravan that the fortress was not a suitable rest point. After seeing the half-elf leave, Ryan turned his attention to the lonely wooden door opposite the broken staircase.

The distance between seven or eight steps is a distance that cannot be crossed by mortals, and even the skillful skill of the half-elf cannot be crossed.

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

Wanting to do it, Ryan began to step back slowly. He retreated from seven or eight steps, then took his own steps, kicked his right leg hard, and jumped. The powerful spiritual power gathered around him, lifting up his heavy chain armor and body like the breeze in early spring. With the sound of landing, the White Wolf Knight successfully landed on the other side.

The heavy and decaying wooden door was pushed open by the White Wolf Knight with brute force. The wooden door bolt shattered under Ryan's powerful force. The moment he pushed the door open, Ryan took a sudden step back, raised the war hammer, and prepared for battle.

There was no movement, as he imagined, the enemy attack did not happen. When he walked into the interior of the house, the furnishings inside were very simple, with only a table, a simple wooden bed, a window sealed from the inside, and a bone sitting in a chair...

Judging from the spider silk and dust on the skeleton body, this skeleton should have been in this place for at least two years. The corpse has completely broken down and its palms are placed in this book.

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

Sometimes it is difficult to explain the empire's obsession with skulls. The embroidery of all the knight orders of the empire includes the pattern of the skull. The sacred crown symbolizing the identity of the empire's emperor is the shape of the skull. Whether it is the emperor himself or the electorate who symbolizes the strong human strength, they all like to decorate themselves with the pattern of the skull.

When Ryan first came to this world, he thought that something was Meng D. Luffy who created the era of the big pirates. Everyone wanted to be One Piece, so everyone liked to use this.

Later he realized that the skull symbolizes purity.

The temptation of chaos is always threatening humans. Anyone who succumbs to chaos will have terrible changes. As long as they fall, they will never be able to change back to their original appearance. Only the pure and flawless skull proves that they have never surrendered to chaos.

Similarly, the skull is also a treasure cherished by Chaos Warriors, Chaos Champions and even the Demon Prince.

With doubts and reconcile, Ryan gently picked up the book.

The book is very old, the handwriting in some places is blurred, and the ink in some places has faded because it has not been properly preserved. This person's low Gothic language is quite bad. There are many typos and even weird characters that are forced to be spelled together in many places, but you can still read the general meaning.

Low Gothic is a language used by ordinary peasant and urban class and even low-level nobles. This language is easy to understand and easier to master. However, the characters and accents are not so standardized. If high Gothic can allow the great nobles on both sides of the mainland to communicate easily and fluently, then the low Gothic language from writing to pronunciation in the Kingdom of Nord and the southern Tuscan electorate of the Empire is simply two languages.

"In the 1469th year of the Empire calendar, I came to Mount Scarville in the third year."

Ryan frowned. This happened more than ten years ago.

"I encountered a big event today. A brother said that when he entered the mountain, he saw someone washing clothes at the Heyuan area. Haha, it made us amused. Can people be seen in such a ghost place? No one will spend two days to come to this place to wash clothes. I think we can laugh for a day when this joke, hahahahaha~"

"Well, I think my brothers are all possessed. Today, two loyal soldiers told me that they saw a man washing clothes at the Heyuan area. But they asked them to describe in detail what this man looked like, and they didn't know, or they couldn't say anything. They could only say that they felt that he was tall, very tall, and had long bright golden hair."

"These big-headed soldiers are really nervous! Today I told me that they saw someone washing clothes while patrolling. What the hell? Did their years of military life teach them to see people washing clothes?"

"It seems something is wrong. More and more soldiers have seen 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 very long blank space, and several pages of it were torn off, and then there was a different handwriting.

"In the 1472nd year of the Empire, our fortress ushered in an annoying mission knight. These knights from Brittania seemed to have bad brains. I wonder if it was the little boy who told him the rumors that monsters were sealed in the mountains?"

"The situation is wrong. The Mission Knight has been away for more than a week, but there is no news."

The next few pages are all scribbled, mixed with dust and mud, and some unknown words.

"Thank God! It was the mysterious seclusion who saved us! The slaughtered Brittanian Knight! In order to show his bravery to his ladies, he actually attracted the terrible Beast War Gang! We fought hard and were outnumbered. At the critical moment, our friends who knew came to save us. Oh my God, I have never seen a man with such a tall figure and powerful force. My head was at his arm!"

"Our friend was wearing a very wide full-body armor, a black wolf-skin cloak, and a huge one-handed sword in his hand. He waved his sword and cut off the invincible screaming shaman, allowing the Beast King to escape in a glance, and the beastman finally retreated."

"We took out the best food and treasured wine to entertain this guest. Our friend was not polite, but he was unwilling to tell us his name and title. He said he was a sinful man and it was not convenient to disclose his name and title. He asked us about the Tree of the World. Unfortunately, no one knew about it. He could only tell him that there were many elves in the Knight Kingdom in the south. In disappointment, he said goodbye to us."

The following were some records. Ryan turned it back hard, and he noticed that the notes and handwriting had changed another person, obviously he had changed to another guard captain.

Turning to the last few pages, the handwriting became rapid: "The Beasts are here again, their numbers are in hundreds, they have surrounded the fortress, and we can't hold on anymore, at most tomorrow, tomorrow morning, if reinforcements don't come... we will fight until the last man."

"We can't escape. The fierce battle attracted the greenskins. They appeared from the basement. The greenskins attacked us and the beastmen directly, which gave us a chance to breathe. Hans used the mechanism in despair to smash the stairs, and I retreated here."

"We can't escape."

The diary, or military record, ends here.

Full body armor? Wolf-skin cloak? Tall? Ryan frowned. Most of the knights who could decorate himself with wolf skin were the knights of the White Wolf Knights. He was wondering if there were any right characters.

Well~ The sinful man, one person fights the Retired Orcs, and asks about the World Tree...

Ryan's eyes gradually lit up.

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

The former leader of the White Wolf Knights, who was once named "Wolf Lord" by the White Wolf God of War, was a powerful man in the Holy Land, and a Logan Flins, known as "Iron Claw".

However, in the great holy war a hundred and fifty years ago, Logan tasted a shameful failure. The White Wolf Knights suffered heavy losses in the war with the Chaos Army. Archbishop of the White Wolf was also gloriously killed. Even if no one pursued his fault after the war, the great White Wolf Paladin still chose to exile himself. He put down the knight badge symbolizing glory and left White Wolf City alone, and there was no news since then.

But why did he look for the Tree of the World?

Ryan instinctively felt that there must be a story, and it must be related to Yurik's arrival.

What was Logan looking for? Why did Uric deliberately lower his incarnation for the sake of an orc's head?

More and more doubts filled Ryan's thoughts.

Until the sound of the savage horn outside pulled his thoughts back to reality, Ryanma realized that something had happened outside.

Yes! Why haven’t Estel come back yet?
