Wearing a white cape coat, Lily held Hells in her arms and followed the knights in front of her. There were many people surrounding her and behind her, which made her feel a slight sense of peace of mind.
The horse's hooves trampled on the snow-covered mountain ground, bringing up slush and dust. The fluffy and loose snow particles formed a brief and beautiful rainbow light under the sunlight, and then dissipated.
The air I breathed was still cold and dry, but the afternoon sun fell on me, finally adding a little warmth.
They moved forward quickly along the route, slowly entered the uphill road, and then gradually slowed down.
There are towering mountain walls on both sides along the way, with evergreen trees growing sporadically in the gaps between the rocks. The accumulated white snow and black rocks form a sharp contrast, giving people a mottled visual scene.
Because the large army attracted the attention of the Knights of the Rose, by the time they were caught in the snow and fog due to the pursuit, Lily and her group had already separated from it and changed direction.
Although this method will be discovered by Darcy and others sooner or later, it at least buys Lily valuable time.
Two days later, the Knights of the Rose led by Darcy finally caught up with the Northern Knights who were heading north. After defeating them and scattering them, they found no trace of Lily. Only then did they realize that their group had been deceived.
"Damn it." He drew out his long sword and swung it down, cutting a stone beside him in half, and quickly calmed down again.
"This can't happen anymore."
After this brief failure, Darcy asked the extremely fast messenger bird to inform the emperor of the imperial capital, and then led his people back to look for Lily's traces.
Just one day later, 30 original sequence 6 giant eagle knights arrived in the north. Accompanying them were three glowing sun golden dragons of dragon sequence 7, which were a small number of elites directly belonging to the royal family.
Compared with the Red Dragon Duke and the large number of red dragons cultivated by the Paskar family, the number of golden dragons in the royal family is particularly small. Now there are only a dozen or so, and they are still distributed everywhere. In the past, these golden dragons were more used for ceremonial purposes.
rather than for fighting.
The dragon knights who control the golden dragon are all from the branch of the royal family. Although they received orders from the new emperor to assist Darcy in pursuing Lily, the three of them did not seem to be interested, and were even suspected of deliberately betraying them.
For the other people under the new emperor, this is a life-and-death struggle. They must let Lily and the little prince die in order to keep the status of the new emperor stable, so that their own power can be equally stable.
But for these three dragon knights, the situation is different. For them, there is not much difference between Lily and the new emperor. No one in power will clean up these royal branches. Moreover, they have no impression of Lily as the queen.
Not bad, after all, we have been together for a longer time.
If it weren't for the new emperor now controlling the center of the empire, they really wouldn't want to execute such an order.
In this way, under the inaction and even deliberate obstruction of the three giant dragons, the giant eagle knights took more time to re-determine Lily's position.
"Heading towards the Glyph Fortress?"
Darcy was a little confused, but he quickly put this doubt aside and headed east with the Knights of the Rose under his command.
At this time, Lily and her party finally arrived under the huge gate of Glyph Fortress.
The cold and hard mountain wall that has been weathered and covered with mottled marks towers into the sky, giving pedestrians standing at its feet the illusion of being as small as dust, giving people a huge visual impact.
If one had to use something familiar to describe Glyphic Fortress, it would be a giant mountain city made of tombstones.
The city wall is made up of extremely wide and huge rock plates, with traces of ancient axe-cut stone carvings left on its surface. Those carvings full of corrosion marks are ancient writings, describing pieces of history in the past.
'In the Second Age, in 287, the Kingdom of Silver Blades led an army of 830,000 elves to the west, and was resisted by the consul Seifeng Shadowsong at this fortress. After that, the dynasty increased its troops by 2.8 million, and it took three years to defeat the invading silver elves.
, and created an army of 420,000 resurrected undead, which greatly shook the enemy's morale and fighting spirit.'
'In the Second Age, 391, the Year of the Three Crystals, the three elven kingdoms formed a coalition for the first time and once again sent an army of about 2.7 million to attack the fortress. The dynasty consuls stationed there, Ralph and Lenasha, died in battle, and the fortress was defeated.
Countless warriors died in the burning of Cuilan Fire.'
'In the Second Age, in 546, the Year of the Dead Wind, the Archon Beranda and his wizards used the legendary secret technique, the Wind of Disease, to successfully paralyze the elf garrison in the fortress and retake the place.'
'In the Second Age, 712, the year of the oath, the dynasty decided to mobilize all its forces to destroy the Three Elf Kingdoms. An army of 6.7 million living and dead people marched towards the Three Elf Kingdoms in five routes. Among them, the Archon Xidi Lun led the army
160,000 Death Curse Cavalry, 200,000 Soul-Cracking Crossbowmen, 120,000 Ice Halberdiers, and 500,000 Skeleton Shield Swordsmen are stationed here. They are all an army of dead skeletons, controlled and commanded by 60,000 Necromancers.'
'In the Second Age, 803, the Year of Burning, three world-destroying witches came to the Elf King's Court and burned down the World Tree. The fire burned for three years.'
These huge stone walls like tombstones are engraved with the past history. The handwriting and traces are different, and it can be seen that they were made at different times. These stone wall tombstones seem to be built by giants, inserted between the majestic mountain walls.
The canyon formed an extremely strong fortress that has survived the erosion of time and has remained so until now.
If you touch these black rock walls with your hands, you can feel the coldness and hardness that goes right into your heart, the smooth surface, and the tiny pits in them.
Standing under this huge city gate that towered like a Titan, Lily felt a silent weight for the first time. If she were a general attacking this fortress, she would probably feel desperate.
With this in mind, she waited under the city gate. After a long time, several northern knights who had gone to the city to report came back.
"Your Majesty, we need to make a simple disguise. Maybe it would be a better choice for you to take a carriage into the city."
Although Earl Feislin had some goodwill towards Lily and her party, allowing them to pass smoothly, he would not go against the new emperor because of this, so the best choice was to pretend that he had accidentally let Lily put on makeup and escape from the fortress.
Lily understood this, and then waited for a short while before taking a carriage and slowly entering this strong fortress.
Different from the prosperous central part of the empire, the market here is obviously much cooler. Among the vendors on both sides of the street, there are fewer selling daily necessities, but more selling weapons and extraordinary materials...
Walking on everyone, Lily even saw several necromancers in black robes through the screen window. They were followed by powerful warriors in full body armor and extremely cold. These beings were lifeless and looked like dead things.
Since the end of the dynasty, when there were fewer and fewer corpses available, many wizards in the Necromancer sequence began to develop in the direction of specialization. They no longer command huge armies of dead corpses, but carefully crafted powerful individual Necromancers and continued to assist them.
Use various means to enhance its strength.
On the way across the street, some necromancers turned their gazes curiously to the carriage. Their gaze seemed to be able to penetrate obstacles and look directly into the soul, which made people feel chilled. But fortunately, they always stood still in place, and there was no more
It was unnecessary behavior, and then Lily breathed a sigh of relief.
When they walked out of the fortress, several knights holding huge scythes walked through the streets. They were wearing black armor and cloaks, and the horses under their crotches were also made of black bones, giving people a frightening impact.
But these knights holding giant scythes paraded through the streets, and pedestrians on both sides, whether they were living wizards or dead skeleton warriors, all avoided them.
"That is the Death Scythe Knight of the Executioner clan. Legend has it that after being killed by that scythe, even the soul will be annihilated, and even angels cannot resurrect life."
In the carriage, the gray-robed witch sitting in front of Lily looked at the figure not far away outside the window and introduced the queen in a low voice.
Seeing the Death Scythe knights in the distance suddenly turning around and walking towards this side, Lily couldn't help but cover her mouth.
