Cyril wanted to hide her past, or forget it. But Aranza still looked at her motionless. This was the first time she saw Aranza, who had always been carefree, so serious, and she suddenly became nervous.
After all, she is only a thirteen-year-old child. Compared with Aranza and Jessi, who have been trained since childhood, and Dolores, who although underage has lived for decades according to human age, Cyril still looks childish. She
The only advantage she has is the wolf nature given to her by Thunder Wolf King Glasbane.
Wolves are ferocious and loyal.
Finally, with Cyril's intermittent memories and jerky explanations, a dusty history was revealed, starting from the time when the old Baron Beba stayed in Crewe Village, the housekeeper died in the battle at the city, and ended with Cyril escaping to the side of Fort Jeanne.
The Azshara Primeval Forest ended with meeting Silas. The group listened quietly without interrupting Cyril's story.
Jexi sighed and looked up at the endless Azshara primeval forest not far away. It was like a long dormant snake, running through Kablan Fortress, Kru Village, Jiangna Fort and Brett City, and these three
For years, Cyril has been hiding in the belly of this long snake, looking through the wolf-headed mask, staring at the land that made her sad.
"I don't understand why the old Baron Beba doesn't escape with you. In this way, wouldn't the garrison of Jiangna Castle open the door to the housekeeper and the others?" Dolores asked curiously.
"No, someone must hold back the orcs," Jie Xi explained, "According to time calculation, if no one holds back the orcs, the housekeeper and the others will probably be chased not far outside Jiangna Fort. Mr. Beba
The baron was trying to buy them time to enter Fort Jeanne, but..."
Jiexi turned to look at Cyril, and when she saw that the other party didn't express anything, she continued: "As a result, Jiang Nabao had a strategy for a long time, and deliberately wanted the stewards and the orcs to fight in a melee, so as to turn the orcs into targets. Doluo
Liz, you are an archer. I don’t need to explain which one is better to aim at, a moving target or a standing target.”
Dolores nodded in understanding. As for the human race using their compatriots to hold back the orcs, she was not too surprised. In the impression of all alien races, the human race has always been a representative of cannibalism, especially in the death desert in the north.
, horse bandits and slave-catching teams run rampant, vividly demonstrating cannibalism.
"Well, do you want me to help you take back this territory?" Aranza suddenly spoke, her eyes never leaving Cyril.
Hearing this, Cyril was stunned for a moment. Her eyes passed over this peaceful little village, and finally she slowly looked back. She shook her head towards Aranza.
"You just need to remember your promise and make me a knight."
"Of course," Aranza chuckled and returned to her carefree look, "Your father is a true knight, and you will be too in the future."
Afterwards, the members of the Thorn Mercenary Group stopped talking and rode their horses to leave Kru Village and continue southward, heading towards the southernmost tip of the human territory, Kaplan Fortress. But in their hearts, they had a feeling for the taciturn Cyril.
With the new perspective, I even feel a little fond of her.
In the south, at the junction of the human territory and the orc territory, the Julu Mountains, the Hekalem Mountains, and the Nautilus Mountains are closely connected, lying between the two races, becoming a natural barrier to prevent their aggressive wars, while in the south
The only access to the domain gate is a small gap at the junction of the Julu Mountains and the Azshara Primeval Forest. Kaplan Fortress is like a sleeping bull, guarding this throat access.
After two more days of trekking, the group finally arrived at their destination.
Kabulan Fortress changed the round shape of the usual fortress and used a rectangular shape to fill the gap between the primeval forest of Azshara and the Julu Mountains. Rows of giant logs with sharpened tops are comparable to city walls, linking to form the Kabulan Fortress.
The subject. This sleeping bull is extremely solemn under the baptism of war, and a faint smell of blood floats in the air.
At this time, the city gate behind the fortress was wide open, as if it was waiting for someone.
Seeing this, Jessie covered her mouth and chuckled. This was the reason why she chose this defense mission. When she showed Aranza's identity certificate to the city defense forces in Brett City, the old guys in the upper echelons of the Lane family must have known about them.
Instead of hiding here and there, it would be better to accept their attention directly. Anyway, Aranza will return to the family one day.
Sure enough, when Aranza led the Thorn Mercenary Group into the Cablan Fortress, a salute order was immediately sounded, and the soldiers standing upright on both sides immediately saluted Aranza with knight salutes. Their movements were uniform and without any mistakes. From the resoluteness of these soldiers
It can be seen from their faces that they are not a fancy ceremonial team, but real men wielding swords on the battlefield. This is a well-trained and disciplined army.
A middle-aged man who looked like an officer stepped forward, stopped in front of Aranza's horse, and performed the knight's salute. His voice was sonorous and powerful: "Pan Sen, the deputy commander of the Lions under Viscount Troxi, has met Lord Aranza.
Welcome to Kabulan Fortress!"
Pan Sen, the deputy commander of the regiment, received him. In the Lion Legion, this is a very high courtesy, because the regiment leader is Viscount Troxi himself. Aranza was not qualified to receive such courtesy. What made him eligible was not
His own prominence is due to his father, the Hero King Hercules Lane.
This is why the old guys in the family pay attention to him.
Other nobles did not know Aranza's identity. At most, they only knew that Aranza was from the Lane family. However, the soldiers under Viscount Troxi knew it very well. They had almost blind worship of the Hero King, so they treated the Hero King's son,
Also very respectful.
Aranza scratched his head dejectedly. Although he was careless, he was not stupid. Naturally, this was the reason why these soldiers respected him. He got off his horse and stood on an equal footing with Panson: "Well, you don't have to be like this. Where is Sister Troxi?"
Aranza and Jessie went to Brett City partly because Viscount Troxi had already ruled there, and they were practicing in familiar land, so they could easily deal with any troubles they encountered.
"Ms. Troxi left a month ago. I heard that it is a family council and my subordinates have no right to interfere." Deputy leader Pan Sen filtered out Aranza's previous sentence and only answered his question, "My lord, you are here.
Lady Rosie has received the news and is on her way here. She will arrive here in a few days. Please forgive me."
Afterwards, Jexi said some polite words for Aranza and ended the welcome ceremony. The soldiers quickly returned to their posts. Pan Sen took Aranza and his party to visit the interior of the Cablan Fortress. Everyone dismounted and followed Pan
Behind the forest.
When Pan Sen saw Silas following him, he couldn't help but be surprised, because Thunder Wolf is the king of the Azshara Primeval Forest adjacent to here. As the deputy leader, although he could not confirm this view, he secretly thought in his heart
I believe that because in Azshara's primeval forest, where thunder wolves are found, those high-level monsters will immediately become as well-behaved as kittens.
The interior of Kablan Fortress is filled with a strong atmosphere of war. The places where soldiers live are simple tents without any extra things or facilities. If there is any noise outside the tent, the inside can respond quickly. Those soldiers who are resting,
Some are lying down and resting, and some are chatting with others, but no matter what they are doing, one thing is definitely the same, that is, one hand is always holding the hilt of the sword at the waist, so that they can respond to emergencies at any time.
After visiting the residential area, Pan Sen took everyone to visit the warehouse and training ground, and then climbed up the heavy tower to overlook the vast orc land opposite.
The land of the orcs is not as barren as imagined. In spring, the grasses originating from the primeval forest of Azshara spread over, dyeing the plain opposite with a lush green.
What surprised Jessie was that a wide moat was actually dug in front of Kabulan Fortress. It was like a real river, starting from the depths of Azshara's primeval forest and winding all the way to the Julu Mountains.
He stopped in front of the boulder in the Deer Mountain Range. Moreover, there were actually many aquatic monsters swimming looming in the river.
Pan Sen explained that this river came from the era of the Hero King. When the Hero King was alive, he entered the primeval forest of Azshara. No one knew what he encountered. But after the Hero King returned, he led people to dig the river.
The water source comes from the depths of the primeval forest of Ailas, and many aquatic monsters soon appeared here, making this fortification highly offensive.
Pan Sen speculated that the King of Heroes might have reached an agreement with the King of Azshara's Primeval Forest in order to divert water from there. When Pan Sen said these words, he looked at Silas behind Cyril with a distant look. When he saw
When the giant thunder wolf nodded in agreement, he almost jumped up with excitement.
"Well, I hope the orcs will attack a few times as soon as possible. I don't want to be idle." Aransa looked at the grassy plain opposite and joked with a smile.
