That's very badass

Chapter 165 The Reliance of the North Wind Fortress (A Story)
November 303, Anthropocene.

Kingdom of Rhodes, Northwind Fortress.

The nobles from the entire northern border gathered here, and they were not immediately familiar with their assigned defense matters.

Instead, he chose to attack the Osborne family.

This was beyond Roland's expectations, and it was also a very normal thing in the eyes of the nobles.

This is the difference that thinking biases make.

The Duke of the North blocked the kingdom's possible reinforcements. Intellectually, they could understand this approach, but it was difficult for them to accept emotionally.

Fortunately, they maintained their rationality and just vented. After all, their land is still in the north.

Defending Borean Keep is their duty to defend their own land.

Roland came to the city wall and looked at the huge orc camp in the distance, and the siege ladder that was almost at the same level as the north wind.

What was on the table was not enough to support the orcs across this fierce light.

But he was just restless, which made him feel a little irritable no matter what he did.

Accompanied by Osborne's members, Roland tested the dragon hunting crossbow, which is a huge weapon, and its power is indeed enough to break gold and crack stones.

But it is not without any disadvantages, the shooting angle it can move is extremely limited, and it cannot rely on manpower to rotate, but needs to go through the chains on both sides in front.

These two chains are respectively fixed on a winch, and only by turning the winch can they move slowly.

And reloading also needs to go through the winch. Looking at the twisted tendons, you can tell that this will be very time-consuming, which means that it is destined to only be used to deal with large creatures, or to act as a deterrent.

Touching the cold instrument, Roland turned on the system, and the information about obtaining the command power was completely swiped on the screen. This was transferred to him by the Duke of Osborne after he obtained the command power from the northern nobles.

This means that he can obtain the experience provided by the 30 soldiers in the entire North Wind Fortress. After this battle, his level will inevitably increase by leaps and bounds.

"Earl Rowland, Duke Osborne invited you to come and said that he has something to tell you."

Looking at the orderly in front of him, Roland nodded, and followed the orderly with the imperial flame-shaped sword a little higher than his body on his back.

Roland thought it was the Duke of Osborne who was going to tell him something, but the people in the city had gathered for a long time, and among the various flags, he quickly found his flag.

A pre-war declaration?
Is it a little too early?Will the orcs attack in the ice and snow?

With many questions, Roland immediately walked towards his formation, ready to hear what Duke Osborne had to say.

He was only stopped by the orderly and invited him to the Duke of Osborne's side.

After Roland arrived, Duke Osborne did not immediately resolve his doubts, but let him sit down.

“Today I’m not talking about anything else, but I have a story I want to tell you.

When the orc clan moved not far from the North Wind Fortress, it was destined that they might attack us against the wind and snow, because what they lack most is time, and their supplies are close at hand.

I'm afraid that if I don't talk about it today, I won't have the chance to talk to you at that time. This may be the last chance.

Here, I want to talk about the legacy of the First Empire, and at the same time, I want to justify the name of the First Empire. It is not as bad as everyone knows. "

In Roland's view, this is not a suitable time, at least in the general perception of most people, the First Empire is not mixed, but pure evil.

But he did not interrupt in any way, at least for now, he is just an ordinary earl.

The words of the Duke of Osborne stirred up thousands of waves, and the originally silent army suddenly became full of voices. Except for the phalanx that Roland belonged to, they remained as calm as ever.

It took a long time before the army calmed down under the orders of officers at all levels, and waited for Duke Osborne's next words.

"The story started a long time ago, even though 50 years have passed, I still remember it very clearly, it is like a seal, stamped on my soul.

It was my 8th birthday and I had a great day because I didn't have to practice that damn training sword and read those books all day.

I thought I was going to have a great night, but on that night my dad came to my room and woke me up.

I asked him what happened?He didn't give me an answer, but took me to the stable without saying a word, moved out the pony that belonged to me, and hugged me on it.

Then he also moved out a war horse, and just like that, the two of us left Osborne City without disturbing anyone.

That was the first time I left this city, even if it was pouring rain, it couldn't quench my curiosity about the outside world.

On the first day, the pony that accompanied me was exhausted and died on the road. It was the first time I experienced life and death. Although it was just a horse, I was still crying.

I knew my father did this on purpose, and I yelled at him, but he ignored it, looked at him with a cold face, and didn't even allow me to bury him.

When I finished venting, he carried me on his horse and continued on the unknown journey. I was a little apprehensive and uneasy, not knowing where we were going.

After driving for a day and a night, my father's favorite war horse finally fell on the road, just like my pony.

In this way, he carried me and walked for three days and three nights. Of course, we also had a short rest, otherwise you would not see me now.

We came to a secluded place in the Hengduan Mountains and began to climb along a mottled iron chain. He handed me an iron buckle and told them that only by relying on this can they go up.

At first my dad encouraged to climb by himself, then he just hugged me and started his fast climb, I don't know why he was so anxious at the time.

Until that night, we arrived at the first resting point, which was a man-made cave, very small, and my father told me that it was dug out by the generations of Osborne family owners.

Then we spent the night in the two caves and regained our strength, but as the altitude increased, my breathing became difficult and my mind began to blur.

I vaguely heard two names, 'Pale Flame' and 'Crimson Fury', and then fell into a deep coma, no longer aware of the outside world.

When I woke up, I found that we were already in a huge stone cave, and the sunlight outside was so dazzling.

I can even see clouds very close at hand.

Of course, that's just my illusion.

My breathing is still difficult, but the feeling of dizziness is gone. I completely forget all my troubles, and wonder if this is the world that people can go to after death.

Because it is so beautiful.

It's just that I didn't think so much soon, because I saw two giant dragons playing, but they were not as big as in the legend, only about five meters.

They rolled and frolicked in the clouds, one end was on top for a while, and the other end was on top for a while.

In the end, it seemed that the playfulness was enough, and they flew directly towards me. At that time, I was terrified, and I fell to the ground.

The two giant dragons came directly in front of me. After tilting their heads for a few glances, they seemed to think that I was not tasty, so they left here.

My eyes moved with them, and I saw a scene that shocked me. There were two huge dragons lying on it, which were exactly the same color as the two small dragons, one red and one white.

Just when I was overwhelmed, my father's voice came, and for the first time I felt it was so warm, not harsh.

Following the sound, he was standing in front of a giant dragon and greeted me.

This scene greatly exceeded my understanding. The legendary dragons are bloodthirsty and evil. No one can approach them except the evil emperor of the First Empire.

I moved my steps slowly, and I don't know what drove me there, maybe it was curiosity.

When I came to the dragon, I looked at its amber eyes. Its pupils were completely different from ours. They were vertical and full of danger from predators.

I stretched out my hand in a strange way, trying to make sure that everything in front of me was an illusion, and it was just a huge piece of amber.

Only to be stopped by the father.

He took my hand, bowed to the red dragon, and said, "Dear Crimson Wrath, this is the next generation heir of the Osborne family. His name is Eric O. Spencer.

He is already eight years old, and it is time for him to be sensible. At the same time, in order to prevent this news from being lost in the end, according to the rules, I brought him here to let you remember his smell. '

My heart is still laughing at my father, how can I talk to the dragon, can they understand?It's just what happened the next moment that overturned my point of view all along.

The giant dragon called 'Crimson Fury' actually put its nose in front of me, nodded in a humane way, and then put its wings on the ground.

Then my father hugged me and climbed onto the dragon's back along the huge wings.

My father fixed me firmly on his back with the rope he had prepared long ago, and at the same time grabbed a huge spike, and then patted it on the neck.

I saw it stood up immediately, and seemed to be shaking with some discomfort. Later, I learned from my father that it was to determine whether we had grasped it.

Then he started to run, and after leaving the dragon's lair, he flew up directly. In the end, I only saw the two little dragons coming out.

I just turned my head and glanced at the distance from the ground, and I fainted from fright.

Believe me, it's a good feeling to have, but you're going to be scared to death.

When I woke up, I was not far from Osborne City. I asked my father doubtfully if the Osborne family were descendants of the evil Abbas.

My father didn't refute me, but said in a mocking tone: "The sin of the First Empire is that it built a road through the entire human world, connecting the entire human world as one."

As well as building the Four Winds Fortress, a lot of manpower and material resources were spent, and all of this was just to defend against the orcs and other alien races, nothing more. '

Seeing that I was still confused, my father told me another fact, that the four giant dragons did not belong to the Osborn family, but belonged to the imperial family.

I seem to understand something, but also seem to understand nothing.

He continued: "This is the last legacy left to mankind by the First Empire. The last emperor Bogdan did not release the Crimson Wrath and Pale Flame until the last moment.

It's just because the ancestor of Abbas once said that no matter at any time, the giant dragon can't attack humans. He deeply remembered this sentence and faithfully carried it out.

As the imperial city was besieged, Bogdan demanded that the innocent soldiers and nobles in the imperial city be spared on the condition of surrender, and Oscarrino Rhodes agreed to his condition.

Do you know why he didn't offer to let the Abbas family go?Because he knew that this would eventually become the source of human turmoil and cause aliens to watch again.

Then he dismissed all the soldiers and nobles who were still loyal to the Abbas family in the imperial city, and the current Rhodes King City is the former Imperial City.

When he came to the dragon's lair in the imperial city, Pale Flame and Scarlet Fury seemed to realize something, they were struggling frantically, trying to break free from the chains that trapped them, but they all failed.

These can all be seen from the scars on their feet and necks. They have indeed struggled. Of course, this is just the speculation of the Osborne family.

But what is certain is that Bogdan, in the name of the descendants of Hubble, the Abbas family, sent them to the dragon's lair in the Hengduan Mountains, and thus allowed the empire to be destroyed. '

After my father finished speaking, he also took out a letter to me, which said: "Bogdan, the unfilial descendant of the Abbas family, has written a last word. He is ashamed of the name of protecting the ancestors of the human race, and let the First Empire collapse in my hands."

Under the rule of the Abbas family, it was never expected that such anger and resentment would be aroused. Righteous men from all over the country rose up and fought everywhere just to fight for the name of the emperor.

That being the case, why not leave all this to them, it still belongs to human beings anyway.

I've dismissed all soldiers and dragons to avoid further involution damage.

Let the aliens, especially the orcs, find opportunities to take advantage of.

Please go to the dragon's lair according to the map, and obtain the weapons left by the ancestor of the First Empire, Hub Abbas, and the horn that can summon the dragon.

Pale Flame and Scarlet Wrath can be summoned to help when needed, so the North Wind Fortress can stop the orcs forever.

For example, the Osborne family still recognizes the name of the First Empire's human guardians, and they also look to the Rhodes family to surrender and defend the North Wind Fortress to the death, so as to protect the foundation of our human race, strengthen our human race, and deter the orcs.

Whether it is the current members of the Osborne family, or even their descendants, the descendants of the descendants, they must not lightly start wars in the name of rebuilding the empire or in other names, causing people to die.

Thank you Bogdan Abbas, the sinner of the Abbas family. '

At the beginning of the empire's rebellion, the Osborne family sent a letter requesting to join the war and defend the empire, but was rejected by the emperor.

The reason is also very simple, that is, as the guardian of the north, our obligation is to guard against orcs, not to participate in the civil war of the human race.

This is my story. When people are old, it is inevitable that they will talk too much. We can see clearly what the Abbas family did in the end.

We can also clearly see how the Rhodes family did it.

The reason why it fears my Osborne family so much is because the giant dragon came towards the north at that time, and even more so when the empire was destroyed, it uttered a mournful cry that resounded throughout the Northland.

What I want to tell you is that the North Wind Fortress guarded by giant dragons must be impenetrable, even if the orcs have the help of Goron?

They might take to the skies and defeat the dragons that soar across the sky.

This is the legendary dragon horn that can summon the dragon. I will naturally choose to blow it when I need it, because we cannot rely on the dragon to fight forever. "
