The next evening, Lord Benedick of Grizzly Bear Castle met with Rhodes, who had come from afar. However, he only met with Rhodes, while the others were left aside and continued to be guests in the castle...
A huge aerial cable bridge connecting the Shadow Tower and the main castle. The night before, Rhodes had stood on the bridge and experienced its steepness and majesty. The bottom of his feet was an abyss. Viewed from the air, the cable bridge was like a thin line.
The main castle of Bear Castle is connected to the outside world. Here, you can intuitively feel where the confidence of Lord Grizzly Bear Castle comes from. Not to mention that the passage into the city is a long and narrow valley, and after entering the castle, it must be captured
Only the two shadow towers can truly face the main castle of Grizzly Bear Castle. Once the defenders of Grizzly Bear Castle cut off the chain bridge, no matter how many siege troops there are, they can only be disappointed. Unless each of them has wings,
Fly directly there. But that is obviously unrealistic. The medieval world was not so advanced that everyone could fly...
Under the dim sunlight, Rhodes and the guards crossed the rickety aerial cable bridge and arrived at the foot of Grizzly Bear Castle. At this time, the true appearance of the castle gradually appeared in the sunlight.
It is built of circles of white rocks, with stone walls stacked up layer by layer, surrounding the main tower. Between the main tower and the surrounding city walls, there are irregular corridors and arches. The entire castle has the main tower as the center of concentric circles on all sides.
Diffusion, like the donut bread made by a pastry chef, the whole picture that could not be seen clearly in the dim firelight last night is now slowly revealed.
The guards are fully armed and wear half-body plate armor with the grizzly bear mark, which can be described as luxurious. You know, plate armor is generally something that only knights can afford to wear. Normal soldiers can use mail armor, which is pretty good. In Keith
In a country like Rif, which is not rich, many regular troops can only wear leather armor... Just look at the equipment of the Northern Alliance Army and you will know that if you don't tell people clearly, it will be like an armed force put together by farmers and beggars.
The mob team, well, is no different from the temporarily organized mob team in Erengrad City.
However, this also reflects from another perspective that this castle still has a certain strength. Otherwise, it is impossible for the guards to wear this kind of equipment. But it may also be another face-saving project...
Rhodes was brought into the castle by the guards and the lord's attendant whom he saw yesterday. Perhaps he was confident in his fortifications. When he entered the city, Rhodes was not blindfolded. He just followed the guidance of the guide step by step.
Walk inside.
The golden sunset light shone in through the windows in the upper section of the corridor, and you could see the fine dust floating in the air. This scene reminded Rhodes of the warm light in the cathedral.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the location of the main tower. It was strange to say that Grizzly Bear Castle was almost an expanded castle with towers. Rhodes suspected that this was not the planned castle at all when the city was built, but just a lighthouse or a watchtower.
Or something like that, guiding ships coming and going in the center of the river. But over time, the Tsar discovered the strategic and economic value of this place, so he expanded it into a castle. Compared to the Black Hammer Castle he ruled, its size was still
It is very big, almost twice the size of the Iron Ring Castle. Most of the castles in the south are larger than those in the north. This is normal. The south is relatively warmer, closer to the capital, has more people, and more frequent trade. The scale of the natural castle is also
Just bigger.
If we must talk about the advantage of the North, it is that the people in the North have experienced severe cold, snow and endless enemies, and are more brave and warlike, while the people in the South are more comfortable and live in the city.
People may be afraid of even seeing a wild boar, but this situation is almost non-existent in the north.
"So, you are Catalina's messenger?"
Benedick, the owner of Grizzly Bear Castle, sat on the lord's throne and asked loudly. The hall was large enough that the sound reverberated and formed an echo, and the sound reached the ears.
"Yes, he is also Lord of Blackhammer Castle - Rhodes, Rhodes Lawn."
Rhodes shouted back, his voice also echoing in the hall, and it was thicker and fuller than Benedick's. The latter stared at Rhodes, his eyes narrowed into a line, as if he was examining this stranger from the north.
This is indeed the first time for them to meet each other. Kislev does not travel closely with each other. Moreover, Grizzly Bear Castle is located in the south of the central part of the kingdom, and Black Hammer Castle is located on the northern border. It is normal that they have not met before.
.
Rhodes noticed a row of guards standing on both sides of the hall, as well as several animal trainers. They were holding tall wolves in their hands. It was ironic, but Rhodes remembered that Alves had told him before leaving -
The reason why Grizzly Bear Fort is called Grizzly Bear Fort is because their lords and people have trained bears for generations and are proud of their proficiency in bear training. Tamers who can form a close relationship with their war bears can often get
Favored by the lords, in addition, Kislev's unique military unit - the war bears of the Bear Cavalry are also provided here. Ironically, there were no traces of grizzly bears here a few decades ago, leaving a large number of animal trainers.
After the exodus, the remaining trainers switched to wolf training... But once a wolf is domesticated, can it still be called a wolf? At most, it is just a large dog that is more ferocious than a dog.
"So, you are here just to convince me to surrender?"
Benedick said straight to the point.
This surprised Rhodes. It seems that the Lord of Grizzly Bear Castle is also a straightforward and straightforward person. Generally speaking, those who supported the Erengrad Noble Alliance in this rebellion are straightforward and straightforward people. Just like the Northern Territory
Lord Balain of Crackstone Castle...
"Yes."
Rhodes replied calmly.
Benedick pursed his lips, and he looked so confident when he came to persuade him to surrender... He had never seen anyone persuade him to surrender like this before... It was common practice to act with emotion and reason. However, Rhodes stood there, like a statue.
Like a statue, confident and confident...
Benedick didn't speak. He winked at his subordinates. The animal trainers on both sides immediately released the ropes in their hands, and several wolves roared loudly...
Rhodes understood. This was the Grizzly Bear's method of shocking foreign enemies. If an envoy came to negotiate, he would use this method to instill fear in the other party's heart and force him to reveal his flaws. The wolf would not necessarily bite the envoy.
, but the feeling of being surrounded by wolves is not good, and timid people may simply become incoherent.
But Rhodes had no reaction to this. In the bloody storm outside for more than a year, the opponents he encountered the most were beasts...from beastmen to swamp demons, from manticores to white giant bears...plus the evil beasts...
With Shaman Sun's assistance these days, if there is anyone in the entire northern region who is more familiar with beasts than himself, except for Yeskovitch himself, there is probably no third party.
