Dawn of the Grey Tower

It is not impossible to climb up the walls of Valley City. Of course, the premise is that the walls of Valley City are unattended. Although the Hammer Knights did not carry props to climb the city walls, it was not difficult to make a few claws for the city from the scene with sufficient time. It ’s just that the horses of the Knights of the Hammer are unable to pass through the city walls. As a result, Heather and the cheese discussed that the seriously wounded and some knights with impaired combat capabilities would return to the southern border first, and reach the turbulent town where the Kingdom Knights stationed In this way, the intelligence already obtained can be sent out to the outside world, and the military heart can also be stabilized.

So the ten wounded left the valley city south with five horses. Heather sent a carrier pigeon to Zhuoliu Town to inform this matter in advance. These wounded people will join their troops halfway. As for other war horses, the cheese is a bit of a headache. After all, if you need to quickly leave the earl's collar, these horses are essential. However, the safety of these horses outside the city when entering the valley city is not guaranteed. However, Heather said that there is no need to worry about these horses at all. The chief horsewoman claims that these trained horses can be self-sufficient in the vicinity, and without the burden of the owner, the speed of the ratman can not cause harm to these horses. Although it is still somewhat uneasy, but since the owner of the warhorse said so, the mage accepted the plan.

In this way, when a group of people made a wooden board to suggest the pontoon to cross the moat of the valley city, and over the city wall, the team's members had been sharply reduced to twenty people, composed of cheese, Elsa and two frost guards And Heather and fifteen hammer hammer knights. Cautiously climbing the city wall, the mage still cared about the result of the previous divination. Although the question of the whereabouts of the Kingdom Knights in the divination did indeed point to the Valley City, the result also predicted that the Valley City at this time was very dangerous. The cheese looked at the two mutant ratmen who were tied into dumplings at their feet. The immediate priority was to find a safe stronghold and quickly open the portal to the gray tower to send these two important living specimens back.

This is why the cheese strongly recommends entering the valley city as soon as possible. The gray tower, as a giant mage facility established by the cheese teacher, cannot be the target of transmission itself. This is to prevent the sudden attack of the enemy caster. As a member of the gray tower, the cheese has its own method of connecting a special room in the gray tower, but the connection requirements are very harsh. The most important one is that the portal itself must be deployed in a size similar to that of the special room. Of the buildings, it is clear that the conditions when camping in the field are not enough to meet the spell casting conditions. Most of the buildings in nearby settlements are made of wood, which is contrary to the special rock that constitutes the gray tower, so it cannot meet the conditions. Throughout the entire Earl of Saron, only Valley City is the most sure place for the Master to open the portal. But these cheeses have n’t said to others yet that the mage only promised that once a stronghold was established in the valley city, he would deal with these two mutant ratmen. With his promise, Heather agreed to bring These two burdens entered the city.

The evening sun shone on the walls of the valley city. The daytime during these days has always felt particularly short-lived, and the accompanying night is too long. The long suffocation. Shaking his head and temporarily throwing away the thoughts in his head, Heather began to plan today's exploration. The city wall was obviously not a good place for the team to stay. The narrow terrain and conspicuous position made the team likely to be attacked by the enemy. So the headwoman of the horsewoman decided to find a building next to the city wall as a rest point tonight, and wait until tomorrow to search the environment in the valley city extensively to find a suitable place to establish a stronghold.

Generally speaking, the walls of this fortified city are forbidden for civilians to step in. Therefore, the roads leading to the walls of the city are often equipped with gates, which can effectively prevent agents or spies from climbing up the walls by guarding the void. Of course everyone knows this. In fact, Heather and other Hammer Knights have already been to Valley City, so the Knight Chief is actually ready to go down to Valley City with a hook. However, the knight who went to explore the way brought back the message that the gate was not closed, which made some people unexpected.

"This is an abnormal phenomenon. Even if something happens in Valley City, these gates should also be closed." After confirming that the winch near the gate can still function normally, Heather frowned.

"Perhaps it was an emergency in the city that required the guard on duty on the city wall, so the gate was not closed." Mona guessed.

"The city guards of the Valley City have a total of two hundred people, and the Earl of Saron ’s barracks is stationed in the city. How urgent things need to happen before the soldiers on duty on the city wall are transferred away, and it is too late to close the city walls. Entrance and exit? "The cavalier chief asked back. But although she was talking about a question, Heather himself knew the answer to this matter may be that the soldiers of Valley City could only be found.

"Anyway, we have to find a place to spend the night tonight is the top priority." The cheese said, he didn't think that there should be too much time spent on these small details. Although the opening of the gate is very abnormal, it does not explain anything. . To understand the current status of the Valley City, it is natural to first enter the inner city.

After listening to the mage, the others nodded and agreed with him. Through the narrow troop transport corridor, they finally entered the valley city. It's just that the valley city in front of me doesn't feel like the largest city in the north. The empty streets and the street lamps without lamp oil are reminding the pedestrians that they are not operating normally.

"Louis, you take a few people to check the surrounding houses to see where it is more suitable to spend the night." Instructed the adjutant to look for the overnight building, and Heather and the cheese walked on the dirty streets to try to find a point what.

"I'm afraid no one has cleaned these streets for some time." The mage felt the sticky touch of the soles and said. Although the cheese hasn't entered human society before, he has been to some cities in some special activities or tasks. Compared with the streets that are cleaned, the scene here is really hard to believe that it is a population. In the fortress city of about 5,000 people.

Heather doesn't have any idea about this. After all, the spread of the plague will surely cause people in the city to panic. It's common sense to calculate. Not to mention that no one cleans the streets, that is, the whole city stops production and there is nothing strange about closing the door Compared with these, she hopes to determine the position of her party at this time.

"We entered from the north wall, if I remember correctly, this should be the junction of the military zone and the slum." After seeing some iconic buildings, Heather got this conclusion.

"Why is it a ghetto?" Elsa asked suddenly.

"What?" The head horsewoman didn't quite understand the boss lady's problem.

"I mean, here is the northern part of the city, and the military zone is here. I can understand that after all, the original intention of the city was to defend the north. But why should I put the slums in the north, although I have n’t been to the city a lot, but I also know that slums are the most chaotic place in every city. Why should we put such instability here? In case of a war, would n’t we put a hungry wolf next to the fresh meat? "

Although the metaphor is a bit strange, both cheese and Heather understand what the boss lady wants to say. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com For this question, it is difficult to answer as a mage's cheese. Even though he is knowledgeable, he is not very clear about urban planning. In contrast, Heather, who is the knight of the Knights of the Duke and Lord, is quite aware of this problem.

"It is because the ghetto is difficult to manage, so it must be arranged next to the military zone, so that the possible hidden dangers can be extinguished in the fastest time. And ..." The female knight paused for a moment, it seemed to be the next topic Some conflicts.

"And basically all men in the army are men, and there are often many women in the slums of a city who are doing skin and meat business. Blindly suppressing the demand of soldiers will only rebound, so simply put the slums next to the military zone. It is also convenient to manage the soldiers who go out. This is a very common method, otherwise you think that the brothels in the town are patronizing. "The female warrior Mona went on to say that although she is also a female, she is accustomed to the way the northerners speak Mona did not have so many concerns. But the male soldiers present were embarrassed for a while and didn't know how to face them. The "monkey" simply looked up at the sky and seemed to be observing the sky in the valley. Although Elsa is the proprietress of the tavern, due to family relations, the top of Longji as the only tavern in Yamashita Town is beyond imagination, so she was not very clear about these embarrassing things before.

Just when the scene was very stiff, the knight sent to search happened to return to report the information.

"Your Excellency, we searched nearby houses and found something that was not quite right."

"Not quite right, what is it?" Heather asked.

"It's a cave, sir. Many of the buildings here have holes in the first floor or basement that lead to unknown areas." The knight answered.
