Proof of the Sun King

PS: This book group is 725051233, everyone is welcome to exchange and blow water.

When there was a trace of fish belly white on the same day, the exhausted caravan finally came to the side of Scarwell Mountain.

In the distance, on a mountainside full of shrubs and meadows, a small river flows down from the mountain. In the middle of 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 reaching the ground. , a alpine fortress stands there, the fortress is divided into two layers and looks quite deterrent from a distance.

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

"We don't care whether there is a master or not, we only **** you here, and we don't care about the rest!" Grey Blade Birger, with dark circles under his eyes, left the crowd and took the rest of the Grey Blade mercenary group with a dozen people. left in the other direction.

The negotiation last night collapsed unexpectedly. The price offered by the Grey Blade Mercenary Group was too high for the merchants to accept. They demanded a 30% profit from the sale of the Sea Heart Stone.

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

After the two of Oliver and Mats discussed it privately, they told them an answer. 30% of the profits from the sale of the Sea Heart Stone would be shared equally among the White Wolf Knight Ryan and Garland Councillor Teresa Trovik.

As for Gray Blade and these wandering knights, they don't have a single penny.

Since the Blood Axe Mercenaries were hired by Teresa, they would not participate in the division.

Faced with the money sent to the door, Ryan couldn't think of a reason for refusing. In fact, he could vaguely feel that this matter might be caused by his own reasons. These beastmen came completely prepared, and it was not like robbery at all. Passing caravans, this is more like a premeditated attack.

Out of the 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 there are certain bottom lines that he needs to follow spontaneously.

There is still a bottom line to being a human being.

"You guys wait outside first, Estelle and I will go and see first." During the day, the fortress on the high mountain was eerily quiet, and the caravan members shouted inside for many times, but got no response.

The fortress collapsed inward, and the stone fortress walls have collapsed in many places due to lack of maintenance, so it does not seem to be safe from the outside. From this, Ryan also concluded that there will be no bandits stationed here for a long time outside the fortress. In conclusion, there is nothing safe in the forest. If there are bandits stationed here for a long time, then they will at least repair the outer wall a little.

As for whether this is a trap or not, Ryan thinks it's hard to say, and you have to go in to find out.

"I and Estelle go in and have a look, Teresa, wait outside." Ryan instructed everyone outside, and walked towards the mountain fortress with Estelle, while the rest of the people were Camp and rest in place, waiting for news.

With the help of Emilia, Teresa reluctantly dismounted and found a place to sit. The sorceress was unwell, leaning against a stone with a pale face, but she still retained her conscious awareness.

Today's weather is very cloudy, and the morning air is slightly watery, and it seems to seep into the bone marrow when it blows on her body. Emilia shrinks her neck subconsciously. The mercenary's clothes are not thick, she only wears a simple robe and Leather armor, and brown leather pants and boots, but her eyes were full of determination, and the cold couldn't make her flinch.

"Amy... Leah?" The sorceress leaned aside and spoke to the mercenary without warning, the mercenary's heart skipped a beat, and she shrank calmly: "Ms. Trovik, what's the matter? Do you order? Please speak?"

"No orders, I just think your name is a bit... special, what did you do before?" The sorceress forced herself to turn her attention away from her physical discomfort, thinking that she would rather be called Ryan for the rest of the journey. Hold her on your body, don't ride a horse or ride a carriage anymore, she's really had enough of the bumps along the way.

"Me? I used to be a merchant's daughter, then on a trade road, the damned Beastmen attacked our caravan, and my father and uncle died in that battle, leaving me alone, I Knowing that even if I sell all the property, it will not be worth the loss, so I escaped overnight and became a mercenary." Emilia bowed her head and told a common story, the sorceress didn't think anything, she immediately turned her eyes on Emilia's sword.

This female mercenary carries two swords, a rapier, the width of the blade is roughly between 2.5 and 3 cm, and the blade is very long. She has been using this rapier before, as well as the hilt of the sword. And the scabbard was wrapped in thick sackcloth by the 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, a silver skeleton.

"Do your swords look special?" the sorceress asked, "Why do you carry two swords like those witchers?"

Witchers generally carry two swords, a silver sword for slashing chaotic creatures, and a steel sword for dealing with humanoids, beasts, or... humans.

"This sword? This thin sword is a ceremonial sword, not for actual combat. I took it with my hand when I was running away, but I, a woman, don't have the wrist strength of a man, and I can't use those two-handed swords they use. So I just used this sword." Emilia whispered: "As for this one-handed long sword, it is an heirloom of my family. It is said that it was owned by a noble of an old empire. Later, Ludwig During His Majesty's liquidation, the fief and title were confiscated, and the ancestors of the family took the opportunity to buy this sword at a high price.

"I see." Teresa changed her sitting position to make herself more comfortable. Seeing that Emilia had no intention of raising the topic, she stopped talking.

The interior of an alpine fortress.

This is a 100-meter-long fort built on the mountain. 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 fort. The river is now frozen.

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

Withered lichens and alpine moss grew on the ground of the fortress. Lane made a sound as he stepped on his riding boots. The white sunlight penetrated into the dim interior of the fortress from the cracks and gaps in the top of the fortress. The entrance was empty, some only stone and dirt. , and weeds everywhere.

"There are traces of battles, but it should have been many years ago." Ryan squatted on the ground, and he found traces of battles inside the fortress: "Estel, did you find anything?"

"...It doesn't feel like a battle in which the fort was broken. Look, Ryan, there are no signs of battle at the gate." The half-elf checked the scratches on the walls and pillars and shook his head: "Obviously, the enemy is not Attacked from outside."

"emmm, internal fighting? These people are not afraid of going to the kingdom court? Let's go to another place to see." Ryan also found it strange, but there was nothing to gain in the hall, and Ryan decided to take a look at the situation inside the tower.

"The gate is blocked, and we can't get in." The wooden door leading to the tower was blocked by something, and the half-elf couldn't open it with all his strength, so he had to back away and shook his head: " I can't open the door, according to the feel, it should not be blocked, but blocked by something."

"Back off." 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 if you were found by the Nord army, you would be found guilty, but being a half-elf After his eyes swept across 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: prepare to fight.

"Boom!" Another heavy blow, the door showed signs of cracking, Estelle curled his bow and arrow with his mouth open: "It's a barbarian, it's too violent."

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

"Boom!!!" With the third hammer blow, the door of the tower was finally shattered by Ryan's attack, and a large number of green figures rushed out of it, waving the sword and rushing towards the door: "I think this ambush failed, So, waaaaaaagh!!"

"waaaaagh!"

More than a dozen goblins rushed out of the tower like a green tide, and there was even a sturdy Orc orc. This green skin was wearing extremely tattered armor, holding a machete. Very unpleasant odor, it strode towards Ryan: "I think I'm going to give you a good beating in this corner, **** human!"

It's the green boy! The basic soldier among the Orcs!

"Shit~" Ryan spat. He used the warhammer to sweep away the green boy before he got close. The three goblins that rushed out in the first wave were sent flying, some of them hit the wall directly, and then the white wolf The knight directly stretched out his hand and pinched the head of a goblin, crushing the head and throwing it aside in the eyes of all the greenskins.

The body of the white wolf knight retreated slightly, and he met the orc alone. The muscles on the green skin were very strong. The machete in his hand slashed vertically, and Ryan raised the hammer to block. After the weapons exchanged, Ryan quickly followed up. He moved quickly, and the hammer head of the warhammer overcame the reaction force with his powerful arm strength, hitting the green boy's right shoulder.

"Ahhhhh!" The green-skinned boy was bruised on the shoulder, but his ferocity was revealed. Although his right arm was abolished, the machete in his left hand exploded with more powerful force. Ryan hesitated for a moment. Immediately after that, he retracted the hammer to resist, the handle of the hammer and the machete splashed a lot of sparks, Ryan directly grabbed his hand behind him, and he grabbed the head of a goblin who wanted to stab in the back.

Ryan threw the goblin directly at the greenskin boy, the goblin drew a wonderful arc in the air, and then its head collided with the greenskin boy's head, and fell to the ground together, the goblin Just like that, his head was directly stuffed into the mouth of this green-skinned boy.

The white psionic blade flashed through the heads of the goblin and the greenskin boy, and when Ryan twisted his right hand, the two heads were strung together and cut off together.

"Oh! Ryan! Come and help me!" On the other hand, Estelle was already in a hard fight. Facing the close-range attack of the goblins, the half-elf reluctantly drew a pair of daggers from the quiver behind him. Struggling to resist the attack of the goblins, he completely lost his previous agility and agility, and even lost his usual grace and clumsiness.

The challenge level of the goblins ranges from ordinary intermediate to elite beginners. Estelle is an elite high-level half-elf ranger. It is so difficult to deal with a few goblins, which makes Ryan feel secretly funny, but he is also This establishes a fact.

Half-elves are not good at melee combat at all. Usually, although rangers are not as good at melee combat as melee combat professions, they are not as chaotic and embarrassed as Estelle. His leather armor has been drawn a few holes.

A big green head was thrown over, and the goblin who was hit in the head was about to scold who did it to stand up for me, but when he saw what it was, he immediately shouted: "The big man is dead. ! The boys are screaming at each other, run away!"

"Escape!!!" When the remaining goblins saw that the green-skinned boy as the leader was dead, they immediately chose to escape. Many goblins in turn fled towards the interior of the tower, leaving behind dead bodies and disappearing in the Corner on the first floor.

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

"It's... savage, rude, the way of fighting, these greenskins are always so annoying, the way they fight is as annoying as the smell on them, the best way is to purify them with fire!" Half-elf There was a lot of dust on his body~www.wuxiaspot.com~ dismal face: "It seems that there are indeed green skins in this fortress."

"So we have to move fast, if there is no accident." Ryan immediately walked towards the inside of the tower.

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

Walking down the spiral staircase of the tower, the two of them saw a scene like hell. Numerous human skeletons and green-skinned skeletons filled the entire basement. On the walls of the basement, a huge void seemed to tell that this happened. The reason for this battle, the human soldiers resisted desperately, the faces of these corpses all turned towards this void, and no one turned their backs to it.

"It's the greenskin. They dug through the basement of this tower. The defenders resisted desperately, but they were still outnumbered. Maybe some of the defenders had withdrawn, maybe not. In short, Villard or other lords did not intend to Send troops to recover this place, because the ghost knows how many greenskins will come in after the underground tunnel is opened? Today is the goblins, tomorrow is the greenskin boy, maybe the greenskin big guy will come later, Even an army of greenskins." Ryan inspected the bottomless pit in the basement, and then pinched his chin to judge: "So the only option is to withdraw, and let these greenskins and beastmen fight is better than consuming precious military power. Be good."

The dark tunnel is bottomless. Just looking at the black road can feel the deep ice cold. Ryan tried to block it with some materials, but the white wolf knight knew in his heart that this could not stop the greenskin at all. .

"We definitely can't be stationed here at night! Let's take a rest outside and hit the road immediately!" Ryan immediately judged that this alpine fortress must not stay there, because it has been forcibly linked to the underground tunnel!

"Go upstairs and have a look."
