The bone of sin domain is king

Chapter 25 No.20 Act Five. Ultramarine Fortress (recommended on Monday!)

It was already midnight when the convoy arrived at the Ultramarine Fortress.

Although, as the name suggests, there is no distinction between day and night in the Forest of Eternal Night, and the sky is always dark, people still calculated the time according to their habits. Vice-captain Kahn took out the timer for the third time to confirm After a while, several mercenaries finally got a glimpse of the legendary Ultramarine Fortress.

The blue beam of light rises from the ground and rushes straight into the sky, opening up a peaceful place in the never-ending storm. The ancient and towering city walls are marked with the mottled years, and the countless claw marks are just the thousand The demon tides that the fortress has experienced time and time again over the past century prove that just looking at these brand marks that have penetrated several inches into the bricks and stones, one can imagine how fierce the battles were back then.

"During the most prosperous period of human beings, the pioneer knights once extended the boundaries of civilization to the territory west of Fort Faran. At that time, the territory of the human kingdom was more than several times that of the present."

As if recalling the glory of the past, Lina said softly.

"However, years of wars have led to the counterattack of the forces of chaos. Although the people of chaos are still sleeping, the side of order is still retreating steadily, and finally it becomes what it is now."

Kahn added that he put away the timer he was holding, and led the team into the light of Ultramarine Fortress.

Rosen suddenly felt a clarity in his heart - although for an undead, the description of "clearness" seems a bit wrong - compared to the feeling of shimmering crystals or embers of the first fire that fix the chaotic world strings again, The flames of the Ultramarine Fortress seem to have directly rewritten the laws of this area, and there is no trace of chaos.

Looking back at the outside, the swaying wind and rain are like a dream at this moment, even the sound is blocked by the green light, Rosen looks up at the sky, the blue and distant sky is calm, and the bright sunlight shines through the gaps in the armor Penetrating into his loose skeleton, even though his body has been dead for a long time, Rosen can still feel the warmth from the power of order.

But soon, the sound from the ear made Rosen focus on the thick and simple door.

giggle-

With the sound of gears gnashing, the heavy and mottled iron gate slowly rose. The first thing the group saw was an old knight with snow-white hair.

The wrinkles on his forehead are very deep, his face like a knife looks vicissitudes and indifferent, but the sea blue eyes are not cloudy at all, although the armor on his body is a little dilapidated due to the corrosion of the rain of magic power, but the still shining iron on his chest The Cross Medal shows his illustrious military exploits.

"Miss Grantia, I will wait for you for a long time."

The old knight nodded slightly, knelt down on one knee, and said in a humble manner.

"Uncle Gascoigne, be safe."

Stretching her head out of the carriage, Grandia got out of the carriage with the help of the maid beside her, and gently put her hand in front of the old knight.

"The last time I saw you, you were only that tall, and now you are a beautiful lady."

Under the slightly jealous eyes of several mercenaries, the old knight kissed his hands, then stood up and looked at Vice Captain Kahn, who was guarding Grandia.

"Kan, have you finally advanced to Black Iron?"

Kahn's progress can be seen at a glance, the old knight who was replaced by Gascoigne said with a little teasing.

"Yes, teacher."

Even so, Kahn didn't dare to complain, and only responded hastily, as if he was quite afraid of the old knight in front of him.

"This is."

Lance, who was holding a red spear, was from another place and didn't know the identity of the person in front of him. However, seeing how respectful both Grandia and Kahn were to him, he must be a powerful figure.

"This is Knight Lionel Gascoigne, the previous Captain of the Bunajen Guard."

Netherlands said before Grandia that when Gascoigne was active, he was just a young man, but he still pretended to be quite familiar with him, and said slowly.

"I won the Iron Cross Medal in the Eclipse War 30 years ago. I once fought undefeatedly against an entire elite squadron in Wendland. Ten years ago, I was ordered to guard the Ultramarine Fortress until now, Mr. Gascoigne, your reputation Even now, ten years later, it is still sung in the Bunakin ballad."

Hearing the obviously flattering words of the Netherlands, several mercenaries frowned slightly, but they all knew that the old knight in front of him was indeed worthy of these words.

When Gascoigne entered the Ultramarine Fortress ten years ago, he had already firmly possessed the strength of the middle reaches of the Black Iron. After ten years of living in the Evernight Forest, which is full of magic power, rich in supplies and full of challenges, his current strength is completely unpredictable.

The lifespan of a human being is usually around a hundred years old, and the 56-year-old Gascoigne is now in his prime and has rich combat experience. Even if he tells Kahn that he has been promoted to bronze, Kahn will not be surprised at all.

"It's fairly knowledgeable."

Unlike Grandia and Kahn, Gascoigne didn't have a good look at these mercenaries. He glanced at these mercenaries, only staying on Netherlands and Rosen for a while.

"Come in, this continuous storm is not a good thing."

With a light wave of his hand, he motioned for the convoy to enter the fortress.

Following Gascoigne, the group quickly entered the legendary Ultramarine Fortress. To Rosen's surprise, the huge foyer of the fortress was nothing special. Neither the armored soldiers ready to go nor the soldiers in the line of sight could be seen. All kinds of servants in a hurry.

After the storm was blocked, the interior of the fortress was surprisingly quiet. Perhaps because it was midnight now, at least Rosen could not feel the atmosphere of too many people's activities.

"It's getting late, Ms. Grantia, you must be very tired from the day's driving today. I have arranged a comfortable and warm room. Let's have a good rest tonight."

The defensive array can only be activated when it senses the arrival of the demonic tide, so Grandia is not in a hurry to go to the core area of ​​the fortress to activate the defense. After hearing Gascoigne's words, she nodded, and then glanced at the mercenaries. .

"Thank you for your escorts. Later, I will host a banquet in the central hall of the fortress to entertain you all. Please show me your respect."

There was no danger along the way. Out of politeness, Grandia had to entertain the mercenaries who had not had time to eat since noon, so she sent out an invitation, looked around at the few mercenaries, and then went to Rosen. One more glance over there.

"Mr. Rosen, you can't refuse this time."

Grandia's green eyes flickered, revealing a bit of sly light.
