Chapter 1722: Frost Snow City
The northern border of the Dragon Empire is the place where this ancient empire first rose.
In the era when it was known as the beginning of the spark, the Emperor of the Dragon Soul led the brave Northern Cavalry and the Black Sword Knights out of this snow and ice, wrapped in the wind and snow from the Windy Ridge, all the way down, like The storm swept the land and conquered the kingdoms along the way, and finally made great achievements in ruling half of the planet. From that day, the brave warriors of the Northern Warriors became one of the most distinctive features of the country like the Black Sword Knights. .
To this day, "like a northerner can play" is still the most commonly used by people on the side of the planet to praise the warrior's words.
Although over time, for the actual needs of the development of the empire, the political center of Dragon and the "Sacred Arsenal" of the Black Sword Knights have moved to the south, and the six northern provinces that are not suitable for farming and living have become large. Some imperial people are not willing to live, but the north is still the place where the country is pouring a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. The Gorgon abyss channel floating near the world rift is the most important reason.
This never-disappearing space crack is like the blizzard in the north, which is the survival pressure that the northerners must face. It also tempers the bravery of the locals like the snow in the north. As the ruler of Lach Ryan's western hemisphere, the Dragon Empire is obliged to shoulder the responsibility of fighting the Gogol demon. Therefore, since the capital moved to the capital 3,000 years ago, the six northern provinces have been building toward the military. Today, military and related facilities have become the most important thing in this land, and on the irregular borders near the abyss of Gorgon, there is a series of huge fortresses like the Great Wall.
These fortresses are not only defensive facilities, but also a large-scale settlement due to the large number of soldiers stationed. In order to maintain the daily operation of the fortress, a large number of non-combatants and various livelihood facilities are gathered within the scope of their shelter. When things were built under the protection of the fortress, they formed a unique landscape in the north: the fortress city.
These cities sheltered by the city walls are not as prosperous as the cities in the south, and the scale is far behind the latter, but it is where most of the northern population gathers. After all, there is a Gorgon demon in this snow and ice. Local, unobstructed wilderness is terrible. If people want to survive, living in a fortress city or a similar defense facility is the only choice.
The Gorgon Abyss passage extends from the direction of the world's rift, and goes all the way to the south. The fortress group below the crack in this space also extends all the way to the south, and the closest to the south is the largest fortress city in the North. It is called "Snow Snow City" and is also the political, economic and military center of the six northern provinces.
The fortress city built with frost spar is located on the mountain. In fact, it is the city formed after the whole mountain was reconstructed. The entire fortress is roughly conical, with layers of walls and sentry towers spiraling along the original mountain to the foothills, forming a unique tower-like structure, and all the buildings visible from the outside are actually The "shell" of the city, inside the shell covered by countless towers, wall ramps, and magical arrays, is the interior space formed after the hollowing out of the half-mountain, where the civilians of Frost and Snow City live.
The lords of Frost Snow City naturally lived in the foothills, and the magicians flattened the hills and built a magnificent castle on it, which is the fortress of the six northern provinces and the fortress of Haywood Owen in the north. This castle with a fortress function is the tallest building in the northern part of the country. Its spire is pointing high to the sky. When standing on it, it can be said that it is within reach of the Gorgon abyss and is now in the north. The most legendary experience of Wood Owen is that one day when he was on the top of the castle to breathe fresh air, suddenly a warrior-level Gorgon demon ran out of the space crack and fell straight in front of the Grand Duke, then was the other Hand tearing.
Of course, the modest Dagong explained this: he was not without weapons in his hands, but was holding a bottle of fire tongue. The infinite fighting spirit that broke out when protecting this bottle of wine was the magic weapon for his unbeatable victory. The next morning I realized that I was torn into pieces by a Gorgon demon, not a seriously obese frosty jackdaw.
After spending a lot of effort to return Lily, who was caught in the snowfield ecstasy syndrome, Hao Ren and his entourage took out the three caravans that had been taken into the space before them. They drove through the snow and went to the foot of Frost Snow City. Along the way, Kem is giving Hao Ren and his entourage members of the "hidden organization of the world" to learn about the North, and from his tone Hao Ren can hear that Kem is not a sword knight. But Dagong, who has monster-level combat power, admires it.
"Respect for the strong is the creed of the northern people, and Dagong is not only a powerful warrior, but also a sense of integrity and loyalty. He is a model figure worthy of every knight to pay tribute to him." Sitting in the carriage, Kay Mum said with a smile, "I am not a northerner. In fact, I was born in a desert tribe in the south, but I lived in the North for 20 years. In childhood, the memories of the hot sand oasis have turned into the North. The wind and the snow."
The car of the three caravans has been re-raised and turned into a closed structure. Under the dual action of the car and the car shield, the snow in the north is well blocked, and the car is warm and spring.
Hao Ren looked through the window at the frosty city wall that was already in front of him, and said casually: "I didn't expect you to be poetic."
"Literature is also a compulsory course for the knight," Kem smiled a little. "We have to learn more than twice as many black sword knights."
"The Princess Constance greeted the flag and the whole north was greeted by the wind. The northern Grand Duke, known for his loyalty, turned out to be the **** supporter of His Royal Highness, which seems to us to be incredible," Charlemagne said. Always confused, "Is this so-called rebellion..."
"Issu people, some things are such a knight that I can't talk about casually," Kem interrupted Charlemagne. "Of course, in your capacity, you can go and ask her after seeing the Princess." As for whether you can get a reply... just look at the princess’s wishes."
"I have passed," Charlemagne said very simply. "Then we look forward to the moment of meeting with His Highness Constance."
Just as Charlemagne’s voice fell, a rough voice came from the outside: “Stop the unknown team, stop the car!”
Three caravans stopped in front of the city gate of Frost Snow City.
In the northern part of the fortress, every city will carry out security inspections with military-grade standards. Now it is in wartime, and it is even more important to pass through various levels. The inspection of Frost and Snow City is no more relaxed than Greenway.
But now Hao Ren and his party are bright and straight, and there is a broken sword knight in the team as an introducer. The mentality of everyone is naturally different from that of Greenway. Everyone even walks out of the carriage and waits for Keme to go. Negotiating with the goalkeeper soldiers, while curious to appreciate this fortress city that is integrated with the mountains and is rich in legendary social color.
The cold air outside the cabin made Hao Ren stunned a lot. He looked up at the layers of the frosty city that had spread upwards. The line of sight moved along the way until it stopped at the mountain, where the lord The spire of the castle points straight to the sky, and a crooked ugly crack floats in the background of the spire, deep in the crack, the tumbling fire clouds and the shadowy land of the shadows are faintly visible.
His hand swayed a little, and a hidden probe sneaked away from the portable space and flew straight toward the abyss of Gorgon.
This is the third probe he released on the road. They entered the different space from different coordinates to collect the Gorgon abyss as a "mapping parameter" of an independent space. Now the first probe has Beginning to return the data, the second probe is also deployed. After the silence, he can explore the secrets of the Gorgon abyss through the eyes of the probe.
On the other side, Kem, who is dressed in a sword-breaking knight, has come to the level.
Several North Army Legion soldiers inspected passing vehicles and travelers here. The tall squats of the northerners and the Winter Wolf armor of the North Army Corps made these soldiers look full of strength. However, they saw a light armor and a tall height. After the murder, these northern soldiers rushed in an instant.
Two of the soldiers whispered a few words with their friends, and they ran to the front of Kem with a squeaky slap in the armor: "You are... the Sword of the Knights..."
"The Broken Sword Knight, Came Graves, from the South Division," Kem replied in a voice, "Responding to the command of Her Royal Highness Princess Constance, I came to the war from the South, and I also brought important information. And special visitors from the ancient country of Isso."
Finally, he added: "I need to meet Prince Her Royal Highness as soon as possible, and the Grand Duke of the North."
Two northern soldiers stunned and then exchanged their faces in a strange look.
"Is there any problem?" Kem asked with a frown.
"You... don't know the latest news?" one of the soldiers said, "Is there a connection between the swordsmen?"
"My comrades and I were attacked while crossing the black pine forest," Kem explained, and temporarily hidden the news that the black pine forest was connected to the abyss of Gorgon and the devil entered the black pine forest. "My comrades are dead. Our communicators were also destroyed. I was seriously injured. Although I have recovered, my mind connection with other sword-breaking knights is always unrecoverable."
"Then you are really escaping," another Northland soldier looked at Kem admirably. In his opinion, a warrior like Kem who passed through the entire empire and came to the Lord was worthy of respect. "You came one step later. Your Royal Highness and the Grand Duke have already set off for the front line of the South. The battlefield is hundreds of kilometers away from here. But you came from the south, don't you know this?"
There was some doubt in the tone of the defending soldiers. Kem explained in amazement: "...I don't know about this. We didn't come from the normal route, but from a secret route, I escaped the Imperial Corps. The eyes and ears came to the north."
The defending soldiers did not doubt this statement, but regretted with a sigh: "It turns out that. In general, you are still an advanced city, the blizzard is coming. In this case, it is not a good idea to go to the wasteland." ""
