We just use this time to go to Iserlohn Fortress, which is under Dawn's jurisdiction. It will be our territory from today on, so why don't we get familiar with it.
Iserlohn Fortress is located in the northwest corner of the north bank of the Full Moon Lake in Silver Moon City, on the tail end of the Freya Mountains. The tail end of the Freya Mountains, which stretches across the entire continent of gods and demons, enters the sea from here, and also connects Saint Lalu
Ka Town and a small piece of plain around it were cut off and turned into a veritable floating land. Due to the inconvenient transportation, this place has been abandoned for a long time.
During the last war between gods and demons, the orc army landed on a large scale here and used it as a base to launch a war of aggression nearby. Later, under the leadership of human wise men, they repelled the orc army and considered this floating land.
The geographical strategy is important, so a very important military port was built
Port - the Port of Santa Laruca. At the same time, in order to effectively enhance port traffic and isolate the port when necessary, a channel was opened at the low point of the Freya Mountains that could only accommodate three riders in parallel.
A solid military fortress, Iserlohn Fortress, was built in the valley based on the iconography.
On the map, Iserlohn is just a small fortress stuck on the road, but in fact it is very tall and very strong.
The height of the city walls on both sides alone is a terrifying more than 20 meters high, and the wall is thick enough for five horses to run parallel on it. It is wider than the University Road in front of Yunhai University. To use a trebuchet
It is simply a fantasy to smash down the city wall with that kind of small stone.
As the only possible weakness is the gate of the fortress passage, it is obvious that the people who designed the fortress have long been aware of this and adopted a three-stage protective gate design.
The first one is to dig a deep ditch in front of the city gate, but there is no water, and use a thick wooden suspension bridge. When the enemy comes, the suspension bridge will be folded up, just covering the city gate to provide the first line of protection.
effect.
When the suspension bridge is retracted, an iron fence as thick as an arm will be placed in the middle and inserted into a groove about thirty centimeters deep underground. This is the second fence.
The third step is to use a machine to turn two heavy metal doors. I can't imagine the weight, and it looks like they haven't been moved for a long time. The thickness of the metal doors alone is as thick as a brick.
, I even doubted what kind of force it would take to open such a metal door.
After the metal door is closed, the machine will continue to lower the huge metal bolts standing on both sides and lay them behind the door.
This is the real trump card defense of this city gate. The first two defenses are actually just to create time for the third protective metal gate to be closed smoothly. The heavy city gate and huge machinery can no longer be pulled by human power.
It can be moved, and it takes about thirty-six strong and strong horses running at the same time to pull it.
As soon as you enter the city gate, you will see a wide and straight fortress avenue, which is probably designed for this purpose.
It can be said that the design of the entire fortress is always inseparable from one point, which is endless defense.
Without ten times the strength of the defenders, it would be impossible to capture this almost steel fortress.
"Hehe, you came here so early to check the fortifications?" The confused girl suddenly appeared behind me and said with a smile, "You, the vice president, are indeed very conscientious!"
I laughed and stood up: "Didn't you come here so early too!"
"There are only rocks here. What's interesting here? It's so boring. I thought the fortress was like a castle!"
"Although it's all made of stones, when it comes to war, this place will be a strong fortress. No matter who wants to get in or who wants to get out, there is no way to get through here safely!"
"Do you men all like fighting?" the confused girl asked me curiously.
"I prefer to see the scenery!" I said lightly.
"Really?" the confused girl shouted excitedly, "Then I will take you to a place that you must have never been to!" After saying that, she pulled me and ran towards the path on the left side of the fortress.
The left and right sides of the fortress are basically very steep slopes. The buildings inside the fortress, such as bars, grain stations, barracks, etc., are built on both sides of the mountains, so the paths here are basically twisted in a zigzag shape.
Twist and wind up.
From the residential grocery stores and equipment stores on both sides of the road to the fountain and church, there are residential buildings, military barracks, and then the United Front Work Department and so on.
There is a magnificent palace-like building at the top. Now the emblem of Mingxiao has been hung on the door of the building. That is our base of Mingxiao and also the command center. All future orders will be issued from here.
I thought she would drag me to the meeting hall, but I didn't expect that she would drag me up the stairs. The further I ran, the more desolate and rugged the road became, and there was even no way to go.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked as I walked.
"We're here!" the confused girl finally stopped and said, "This is it! I saw this when I was down there just now. It's the highest mountain peak nearby!"
I saw the beacon tower. This is the beacon tower of the fortress, and it is also the highest place in the nearby terrain. As long as the fortress is in crisis and the beacon tower is lit, the Green Dragon Knights passing along the Freya Mountains can see it and rush to our aid; or
Silver Moon City can also dispatch the mobile force of the Silver Knights for reinforcements. It is a very important military area and generally no idlers are allowed to come up.
"I didn't expect that you can actually come up here!" the confused girl said with excitement.
I also stood and looked around. It was really high here, very vast, and I felt very close to the sky, as if I could touch the sky if I stretched out my hand.
In the distance, the vast blue sea is like a blue mirror, with rippling waves. Several ships flying the flags of other countries lined up in a neat fleet and slowly sailed into the port of Santa Laruca at our feet.
Looking back, I saw a winding path extending to the majestic city, passing through the small black forest. I could even vaguely see the bare rocks of the gravel wasteland, and as far as I could see, I could see behind the Sunset Canyon.
The plague land, the valley of thorns between the mountains.
The breeze blew slowly, blowing the tips of my hair. Everything seemed so small, and all the struggles seemed so insignificant. There was a broader world in my heart.
"The scenery here is so beautiful! I want to take a photo!" the confused girl said excitedly, calling up the system's built-in camera, standing on the small stone platform on the top of the mountain, turning the camera, and taking selfies.
I sighed from the bottom of my heart: This place is really nice. It is far away from the hustle and bustle but you can overlook all living beings. The windows are bright and clean but you can still stay in the world of mortals.
It seems that after coming to such a place, one's whole temperament will be sublimated and one's realm will also be improved accordingly.
I think if Nicholas had come to this place often, he might not have embarked on the path of rebellion.
"Lin San, come here, let's take some photos together! Hehe, let them be envious!"
