Chapter 236 Glyph Fortress
Wearing a white cloak coat, Lily hugged Hulls and followed the knights in front of her, and there were many people around her side and behind, which made her feel a faint peace of mind.
Horseshoes are stepping on the snow-covered mountains, bringing up slush and dust. The fluffy snow particles form a short and beautiful rainbow under the sunlight, and then dissipate.
The air in his breath was still cold and dry, but the afternoon sun fell on his body, finally adding a little warmth.
They followed the route, moving fast, slowly entering the uphill road, which gradually slowed down.
Along the way, there are towering mountain walls on both sides, and evergreen trees grow sporadically between the cracks of the rocks. The accumulated white snow and black rocks form a sharp contrast, bringing people a mottled visual scene.
Because the large army attracted the attention of the Rose Knights, when they were caught in the snow and fog due to their pursuit, Lily and the others had already escaped from it and changed their direction.
Although such a method would sooner or later be noticed by Darcy and others, it at least bought Lily precious time.
Two days later, the Knights of Roses led by Darcy finally caught up with the northern knights who were rushing north.
"Damn." He took out his long sword and swung it down, cutting a stone beside him in half, and quickly calmed down again.
"It can't be like this anymore."
After this short-term failure, Darcy asked the extremely fast letter bird to inform the emperor of the imperial capital, and then brought the people back to find Lily's trail.
Just one day later, 30 original Sequence 6 giant eagle knights arrived in the north, along with them, there were also three dragons of Sequence 7 Huiri Jinlong, which were a small number of elites directly belonging to the royal family.
Compared with the Duke of Red Dragon, the large number of red dragons cultivated by the Baska family, the number of golden dragons in the royal family is extremely small. In the past, these golden dragons were used more for honor guards than for fighting.
The dragon knights who control the golden dragon are all from the side branch of the royal family. Although they received the order from the new emperor to assist Darcy in the pursuit of Lily, the three seem not to care, and even suspected of releasing water.
For the others 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, so that their power can be equally stable.
But for the three dragon knights, the situation is not the same. For them, Lily and the new emperor are actually not very different. No one in the upper position will clean up their royal family. Besides, they still have a bad impression of Lily, the queen. It's not bad, after all, it's a long time to get along.
If it weren't for the fact that the new emperor now controls the center of the empire, they really don't want to carry out this kind of order.
In this way, under the passive sabotage of the three giant dragons, and even deliberately blocking them, those giant eagle knights spent more time before re-determining Lily's position.
"Towards the Glyph Fortress?"
Darcy had some doubts, but he quickly put aside this doubt and set off towards the east with the Knights of Roses under his command.
At this time, Lily and her party finally arrived under the huge gate of the Glyph Fortress.
The weather-beaten, hard mountain wall full of mottled traces towers into the sky, giving the pedestrians standing under its feet the illusion of being as small as dust, giving people a huge visual impact.
If there's something familiar to describe Glyph fortresses, it's a giant mountain city made of tombstones.
The city wall is made up of giant rock slabs that are extremely wide and thick, and there are traces of ancient axe and stone carvings on the surface.
'Second era, in 287, the country of the silver blade led an army of 830,000 elves to the west, and defended the fortress for the consul Saifeng Shadowsong. After that, the dynasty increased its troops by 2.8 million, which lasted for three years. , and created an army of 420,000 resurrected undead, which greatly shook the enemy's morale and fighting spirit. ’
'Second era, in 391, the year of the Three Crystal Stones, the three elves formed a coalition for the first time, and once again sent a large army of about 2.7 million to attack the fortress. The stationed dynasty consuls Ralph and Reina Sha died in battle, the fortress was destroyed, and countless soldiers died in the burning of the twilight of Cuilan. ’
'The second era, 546, the year of the wind of death, the consul Beranda and the wizards under his command performed the legendary secret technique, the wind of plague, and successfully paralyzed the elf garrison in the fortress and recaptured this place. ’
'Second era, 712, the year of the oath, the dynasty decided to mobilize all forces to destroy and destroy the three kingdoms of the elves. The army of a total of 6.7 million living and dead marched on 5 routes to the Three Kingdoms of the Elf. Among them, 160,000 Death Cursed Cavalry, 200,000 Soul Splitter Crossbowmen, 120,000 Ice Halberds, and 500,000 Skull Shield Swords led by Archon West Dillon The soldiers, stationed here, are all corpses, controlled and commanded by 60,000 necromancers. ’
'In the second century, 803, the year of burning out, three witches who destroyed the world came to the Elf Royal Court, burned the World Tree, and the fire burned for three years. ’
These huge stone walls like tombstones are inscribed with the past history. The handwriting and traces are different. It can be seen that they were made at different times. These stone wall tombstones seem to be built by giants. The canyon has been formed into a strong fortress, which has been eroded by time and has remained until now.
If you touch these black rock walls with your hands, you can feel the cold and hardness that goes straight into your heart, the smooth surface, and the tiny potholes in them.
Standing under the towering giant gate like a titan, Lily felt a kind of silent heaviness for the first time. If she was the general who attacked this fortress, she would probably feel
To despair.
Thinking like this, she waited under the city gate, and after a long time, several northern knights who had entered the city to report back returned.
"Your Majesty, we need to make a simple disguise. Perhaps it is a better choice for you to take a carriage into the city."
Although Earl Fesling had a little kindness towards Lily and her party, allowing them to pass smoothly, but he would not oppose the new emperor because of this, so it was the best choice to pretend to let Lily put on makeup and escape from the fortress by accident.
Lily understood this, and after waiting for a while, she slowly entered the strong fortress in a carriage.
Unlike the prosperous central part of the empire, the market here is obviously much colder. Among the vendors on both sides of the street, there are fewer sellers of daily necessities, but more weapons and extraordinary materials. .
Walking on top of everyone, Lily even saw a few necromancers in black robes from the screen window. They were followed by full-body armor, and icy and powerful warriors. These existences were breathless, like dead things.
Since the end of the dynasty, there have been fewer and fewer corpses available, and many wizards in the necromancer sequence have begun to develop in the direction of specialization. They no longer command a huge army of corpses, but carefully craft powerful single undead, and continue to assist them. Increase its strength by various means.
On the way through the street, some necromancers turned their eyes to the carriage curiously. The line of sight seemed to be able to penetrate the obstacles and look directly at the soul, which made people feel chills, but fortunately they always stood still, no more Superfluous behavior, only Lily breathed a sigh of relief.
When they came out of the fortress, several knights with huge scythes walked through the street. The black armor and capes, and the horses under their crotch were also composed of black bones, giving people a shock of horror.
But these few knights with huge scythes cruised through the streets, and the pedestrians on both sides, whether they were living wizards or dead corpse warriors, avoided them one after another.
"That is the death sickle knight of the executioner family. It is said that after being beheaded by the sickle, even the soul will be annihilated, and even the angels will not be able to resurrect life."
Inside the carriage, the witch in gray robe 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 sickle knights in the distance suddenly turn around and walk towards this side, Lily couldn't help covering her mouth.
"Ah~" The voice was low and slightly flustered.
