The Sun King's Evidence

When a trace of fish belly white was seen in the sky, the extremely exhausted caravan finally arrived at the hillside of Mount Skavel.

In the distance, on the mountainside full of shrubs and meadows, a small river flows down from the mountain. In the middle of winter, the river is completely frozen. Looking at the snow on the mountain and the white sky, it is like a river from the sky flowing to the ground. , a mountain fortress stands there. The fortress is divided into two layers and looks quite intimidating from a distance.

"I hope this fortress welcomes us guests." Ryan was riding on his horse, feeling tired from the night battles and traveling all night.

"We don't care if there is a master inside. We only escort you here. We don't care about the rest!" Gray Blade Birger had dark circles in his eyes. He abandoned everyone and took the remaining dozen people from the Gray Blade Mercenary Group. Left in the other direction.

As expected, the negotiations collapsed last night. The price offered by the Gray Blade Mercenary Group was too high for the merchants to accept. They demanded 30% of the profit from the sale of the Sea Heart Stone.

Similarly, several wandering knights also demanded 30% of the profits.

After a private discussion, Oliver and Mats told them an answer. Thirty percent of the profit from the sale of the Sea Heart Stone would be equally divided between White Wolf Knight Lane and Garland Councilor Theresa Trowick.

As for Gray Blade and these wandering knights, they don't have a penny.

Since the Blood Ax Mercenary Group is hired by Theresa, they will not participate in the sharing.

Faced with the money that was delivered to his door, Ryan could not think of a reason to refuse. In fact, he could vaguely feel that this matter might have been caused by him. These beastmen were completely prepared. This was not like robbery at all. Passing caravan, this is more like a premeditated attack.

Out of the knight's sense of responsibility and mission, Ryan believed that he had enough reasons to help Oliver and Mats complete this business. Even if he did nothing, he would not be criticized, but there were some bottom lines that he needed to abide by voluntarily.

You still have to have a bottom line as a human being.

"You guys wait outside first, Estelle and I will go in and take a look first." In broad daylight, this fortress on a high mountain became eerily quiet. The caravan members called inside many times, but received no response.

The fortress collapsed inward, and many parts of the stone fortress walls had collapsed due to lack of maintenance, so it did not look safe from the outside. From this, Ryan also concluded that there would be no bandits stationed here for a long time outside the fortress. In conclusion, the forest is by no means safe. If there are bandits stationed here for a long time, they will at least repair the outer walls a little.

As for whether this is a trap, Ryan feels it's hard to say. You won't know until you go in.

"Estel and I will go in and take a look. Theresa, just wait outside." Ryan asked everyone outside, and walked towards the mountain fortress with Estelle, while the rest of the people They camped where they were and rested, waiting for news.

With Emilia's help, Teresa reluctantly dismounted and found a place to sit. The sorceress felt uncomfortable and leaned against a stone with a pale face, but she still retained a clear consciousness.

The weather today is very gloomy, and the morning air is slightly vapory, which seems to penetrate into the bone marrow when it blows on the body. Emilia subconsciously shrinks her neck. The female mercenary's clothes are not thick. She only wears a simple robe and Leather armor, as well as brown tight leather pants and boots, but her eyes were full of determination, and the cold could not make her flinch.

"Emily...Lea?" The sorceress leaned to the side and spoke to the female mercenary without any warning. The female mercenary's heart skipped a beat and she shrank calmly: "Ms. Trovik, what's the matter? Order? Please tell me?"

"No instructions, I just think your name is a bit... special. What did you do before?" The sorceress forced herself to divert her attention away from her physical discomfort. She thought that she would rather be called Ryan throughout the rest of the journey. Hold her close to you and stop riding horses or carriages. She has really had enough of the bumps along the way.

"Me? I used to be the daughter of a merchant. Later, on a trade route, damn beastmen attacked our caravan. My father and uncle both died in that battle, leaving me alone. I Knowing that even if all the family property was sold, it would not be enough to offset the loss, she escaped overnight and became a mercenary." Emilia lowered her head and told a common story. The sorceress didn't think anything of it, and she immediately turned her gaze to Put it on Emilia's sword.

This female mercenary carries two swords, one is a thin sword, the width of the sword is roughly between 2.5 and 3 centimeters, and the sword is very long. She has been using this thin sword before, and the other is the hilt of the sword. The scabbard was wrapped in thick linen by the female mercenary. The sword was larger, like a one-handed long sword. The only load-bearing ball that could be seen was similar to Ryan's sword, which was a silver skull.

"Your swords look special?" the sorceress asked, "Why do you carry two swords like those demon hunters?"

Demon hunters usually carry two swords, a silver sword for cutting down chaotic creatures, and a steel sword for dealing with humanoids, beasts or... humans.

"This sword? This thin sword is a ceremonial sword, not for actual combat. I picked it up when I was escaping. But as a woman, I don't have the wrist strength of a man, and I can't use the two-handed swords they used. So I just used this sword." Emilia whispered: "As for this one-handed long sword, it is an heirloom of my family. It is said that it was owned by a noble of the old empire. Later, Ludwig The land and title were confiscated during His Majesty's liquidation, so the ancestors of my family took the opportunity to buy this sword at a high price. I don't know much else about it, so I took it with me when I escaped."

"That's it." Theresa changed her sitting position to make herself more comfortable. Seeing that Emilia had no intention of provoking a topic, Theresa said no more.

Interior of the mountain fortress.

This is a 100-meter-long fortress built on the mountain. It is divided into an outer wall surrounded by high walls and an open space inside. There are also three or four-story towers. A river from the mountain passes through the middle of the fortress. Yes, the river is now frozen.

Ryan held the hammer in both hands, and the golden gryphon-head warhammer exuded golden light under the dim light of the fortress. The half-elf followed closely behind him, with the feather arrow on the bowstring, carefully watching every move in the fortress. .

The ground of the fortress was covered with withered lichen and alpine moss, and Ryan's riding boots made a sound when he stepped on it. White sunlight penetrated into the dim interior of the fortress from the gaps and gaps on the top of the fortress. The entrance was empty, with only stones and soil. , and there are weeds everywhere.

"There are traces of a battle, but it should have been many years ago." Ryan squatted on the ground, and he found that there were traces of a battle inside the fortress: "Estel, did you find anything?"

"...It seems, it doesn't feel like a battle in which the fortress was breached. Look, Ryan, there are no traces of battle at the gate." The half-elf inspected the scratches on the walls and pillars and shook his head: "Obviously, the enemy is not Attacked from outside."

"Emmm, internal fighting? Are these people afraid of going to the Kingdom Court? Let's go somewhere else and take a look." Ryan also found it strange, but there was nothing to gain inside the hall, so Ryan decided to take a look at the situation inside the tower.

"The door is sealed and we can't get in." The wooden door leading to the tower was sealed by something. The half-elf tried all his strength but couldn't open it, so he could only retreat to the back and shook his head: " I can't push the door open. According to the feel, it's not bolted inside, but blocked by something."

"Back off." Ryan raised the warhammer. The half-elf immediately realized what he wanted to do. He instinctively wanted to say that if you are discovered by the Nord army, you will be found guilty. However, when the half-elf After his eyes glanced at the White Wolf Knight badge on Ryan's chest, he closed his mouth.

"Boom!" The sound of a warhammer hitting a heavy object echoed in the hall.

At the same time, there seemed to be a commotion behind the gate. Ryan narrowed his eyes and gave Ike a look: ready to fight.

"Boom!" Another heavy blow, and the door showed signs of cracks. Estelle curled her lips and bent her bow and arrow: "What a barbarian, too violent."

"We don't have a locksmith, Birger is gone, dear Estelle." Ryan took a deep breath and raised the warhammer again: "So, keep it simple, it is good for us."

"Boom!!!" After the third hammer blow, the door of the tower was finally shattered by Ryan's attack. A large number of green figures rushed out of it, waving their swords and rushing towards the door: "I think this ambush failed. So, waaaaaaagh!!”

"waaaaagh!"

A dozen goblins rushed out of the tower like a green tide, and there was even a sturdy Orc among them. This green-skinned man was wearing extremely tattered armor, holding a machete, and exuded a With a very unpleasant stench, it rushed towards Ryan with long strides: "I thought I was going to give you a good beating in this mess, damn human being!"

It's the green boy! The basic soldier among the Orks!

"Shit~" Ryan spat. He used his war hammer to sweep the green boy before he could get close. The three goblins that rushed out in the first wave were all knocked away, and some of them hit the wall directly, and then the white wolf The knight reached out and grabbed the head of a goblin, crushing the head and throwing it aside under the gaze of all the greenskins.

The White Wolf Knight retreated slightly and faced the Orc alone. The muscles on the green skin were very strong. The machete in its hand struck down vertically. Ryan raised his hammer to block. After the weapons exchanged, Ryan quickly followed up. He moved quickly, and his strong arm strength overcame the reaction force of the hammer head of the war hammer, hitting the green boy's right shoulder.

"Ahhhh!" After being injured on the shoulder, the green-skinned kid showed its ferocity. Although its right arm was crippled, the machete in its left hand burst out with more powerful power. Ryan hesitated for a moment. Immediately after that, he retracted his hammer to resist. The handle of the hammer and the machete spattered a large number of sparks. Ryan reached back and grabbed behind him. He caught the head of a Goblin who was about to stab his back.

Ryan threw the goblin directly at the green boy. The goblin drew a wonderful arc in the air, and then its head collided with the green boy's head, and they fell to the ground together. The goblin His head was stuffed directly into the green-skinned boy's mouth.

The white psychic blade flashed through the heads of the goblin and the green-skinned boy. With a twist of Ryan's right hand, the two heads were strung together and cut off together.

"Oh! Ryan! Come and help me!" On the other side, Estelle was already in a hard fight. Facing the Goblin's close attack, the half-elf reluctantly pulled out a pair of daggers from the side of the quiver on his back. Struggling to resist the Goblin's attack, he completely lost his previous agility and agility, and even lost his usual elegance, clumsy and clumsy.

The challenge level of goblins ranges from ordinary intermediate level to elite basic level. Estelle is an elite high-level half-elf ranger. The sight of dealing with several goblins so hard made Ryan secretly funny, but he also This establishes a fact.

Half-elves are not good at melee combat at all. Although rangers are not as good at melee combat as the melee profession, they are not as busy and embarrassed as Estel. His leather armor has been scratched with several holes.

A big green head was thrown over, and the Goblin who was hit on the head was about to yell who did it, please stand up, but when he saw what it was, he immediately shouted: "The big guy is dead." ! The boys are trying to get their hands dirty and run away!"

"Run away!!!" When the remaining goblins saw that the leader of the green-skinned boy was dead, they immediately chose to escape. Many goblins in turn fled towards the interior of the tower, leaving corpses on the ground and disappearing. Corner on the first floor.

"Your advanced profession is jungle shooter, am I right?" Ryan stretched out his hand to pull Estelle up and said with a shrug.

"It's really...barbaric, rude, and despicable fighting methods. These greenskins are always so annoying. Their fighting methods are as annoying as the odor on their bodies. The best way is to purify them with fire!" Half-elf! There was a lot of dust on his body, and he said with a gray face: "It seems that there are indeed green skins in this fortress."

"So we have to move quickly, if nothing happens." Ryan immediately walked towards the tower.

The half-elf felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly followed.

Going down the spiral staircase of the tower, the two people saw a scene like hell. Countless human skeletons and green-skinned skeletons filled the entire basement. On the wall of the basement, a huge hole seemed to tell the story of what happened. The reason for this battle was that the human soldiers resisted desperately. The faces of these corpses all faced this hollow, and no one turned their backs to it.

"It's the greenskins. They dug the passage to the basement of this tower. The defenders resisted desperately, but they were still outnumbered. Maybe some of the defenders withdrew, maybe not. In short, Velarde or other lords did not intend to continue. Send an army to retake this place, because who knows how many greenskins will flood into this place after the underground tunnel is opened? Today it will be goblins, tomorrow it will be greenskin boys, and maybe the big greenskins will come later. Even an army of greenskins." Ryan inspected the bottomless pit in the basement, then pinched his chin and judged: "So the only option is to withdraw the troops. It is better to let these greenskins and beastmen fight than to waste precious military power. Be nice.”

The dark tunnel was bottomless, and you could feel the deep cold just by looking at the black road. Ryan tried to block it with some materials, but the White Wolf Knight knew in his heart that this would not stop the green skin at all. .

"We definitely can't stay here at night! Let's take a rest outside and then hit the road immediately!" Ryan immediately judged that this mountain fortress must not stay here because it has been forcibly connected to the underground tunnel!

"Let's go take a look upstairs."
