Chapter 669 Holy Mountain
The huge sky fortress is suspended directly above the crystal mine. It is a miraculous facility like a small town. It has an inverted cone-shaped base and two layers of solid ring walls. There are dozens of magic towers between the two walls. The tower provides shield defense for the entire fortress. It is majestic and majestic, but of course it has many flaws. Even Hao Ren can see that the design idea of this fortress is very crude: it simply moves the ground fortress to the sky and adds a lot of attack turrets. In addition, There was not even an escort formation, and the anti-aircraft firepower was arranged in a mess. It can only be said to be very powerful on this planet, but it is far from invincible. The behemoth created by the Holleta people is just the germ of a certain idea, and it is still a long way from mature strategic application. But no matter what, this sky fortress is still an exciting creation.
With Ofra's introduction, everyone learned about the construction process of the Sky Fortress. The basic structure of Hodecius came from the Dragon's Back Mountains: after the main peak of that mountain range collapsed, the remaining peaks on the mountain were also crumbling, so the Pope boldly used divine magic to directly cut off the top of one of the peaks, and completely destroyed it. It was turned upside down to serve as the base of Hodiceus, and the entire mountain was then transferred to a crystal mine for processing. The mine was sealed for nearly a month. Countless skilled magicians, led by twelve kingdom magisters, entered the mine and remodeled the mountain like the most ordinary masons. In order to ensure confidentiality, there were no ordinary workers in the entire construction process. participate. A month later, just a few days ago, the magical fog above the crystal mine was lifted, and Hodice ascended into the sky, shocking the world.
It was precisely because of the launch of Hodecius that the huge impact it brought finally shocked the senior leaders of the returning sect. This allowed the cunning heretics to show their feet. The knights were finally shocked to discover that the heretics were hiding there. Among the mountains to the west.
Perhaps not even the Glory Pope and the twelve magisters who created Hodecius could have imagined that the first battle this aerial fortress would face after it took off would be a holy war between the Glory Sect and the pagans, and it would break out. The battle took place right next to the crystal mine. This was the former holy lake, the place where Hodecius completed the final assembly, the western fortress of the church, and at the same time, it was the edge of the holy land of the werewolf tribe and the lair of the pagans - who would dare to believe this if they had not experienced it personally Will things come together? While the church was shocked that there was a nest of pagans hidden under his nose, Hao Ren also had deep doubts about the conspiracy of the returning believers and the brain monsters. In any case, it takes great courage to hide in such a place, and the risks are always equal to the rewards. The greater the risk that the return believers are willing to take, the more amazing what they plan - so when Hao Ren saw Afterwards, Hodecius was not relieved at all because of his abundant fighting power, but instead became even more worried.
Facing a floating city suspended above his head, he did not escape, which meant that the plots and reliance of those pagans were enough to offset the oppression brought by the floating city.
The officers and soldiers of the Knights stationed on Hodecius are immersed in a state of high morale. It is difficult to say how many commanders can calm down and think about these hidden dangers, but Ofra is definitely vigilant. After taking everyone on a short tour of the fortress, she led the team to the command post of the Floating City, preparing to discuss matters related to attacking the Holy Mountain. The structure of Hodecius is very simple, with two layers of walls, a circle of barracks, and a circle of anti-aircraft ballistae. The inner layer is a training ground, a griffon platform, a weapons depot, and a magic furnace. The command post is located in the floating city. In the center, it overlooks two-thirds of the fortress on a high raised artificial hill.
In the command post, Hao Ren and the others saw the commanders here, some of whom were familiar faces: the old werewolf Elson, the Archbishop of Auburn with a mosaic face, Prince Haverman, the king's chief think tank, and several others who had The head of the kingdom or a high-level church official who has had communication with them. Faced with other unfamiliar faces, Hao Ren and his party also nodded and greeted each other - anyway, no matter whether they knew each other or not, they just pretended to be familiar with each other. This occasion was basically a place where they pretended to know each other and then pretended to support each other enthusiastically.
There was originally a meeting inside the command post, but as soon as Hao Ren and his group of "outsiders" came in, the scene immediately became quiet. Ofra took this opportunity to point to a strong man next to the table and introduced: "This is the leader of Uruk from the werewolf tribe country. He and his wolf cavalry must lead the way into the Holy Mountain."
The eyes of Hao Ren and others immediately fell on the werewolf leader. He was the most eye-catching person on the scene. Not only was he tall and burly, but he also wore clothing that was very different from the Horleta people. The rough-structured clothes were decorated with leather decorations, and a necklace made of animal teeth hung around his neck. , which makes him look like a tough and brave nomadic leader. Uruk is currently in the form of a werewolf. The black hair on his cheeks and the wolf ears on his head make him look ferocious and rough. When he saw Hao Ren, he grinned and revealed a row of sharp teeth that shone with cold light: "So we have to wait. The people have finally arrived - do you have a way to let ordinary people enter the mountain?"
Hao Ren nodded: "I have a protective crystal that allows ordinary people to resist the mental control of brain monsters."
Uruk nodded, stood up and walked out: "Okay, let's go."
Hao Ren was originally waiting to discuss with someone about joining the army, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was such a bachelor. He was a little dumbfounded on the spot: "Hey, wait a minute - are you leaving now? Don't you want to discuss the details?"
"The details have been discussed," Uruk pointed at the Horleta people at the scene. "Soldiers and quick soldiers are the best way to solve all problems. And we werewolves don't like outsiders staying too long in our sacred mountain. The sooner this matter is resolved, the better."
After saying this, Uruk walked out of the room on his own, leaving Hao Ren and the others looking at each other in confusion. Lily raised her hand to say hello to the fellow countryman but couldn't find a chance to interrupt: "Why is he so arrogant? "
"That's just him," Ofra rubbed her brows, "Don't mind it. Werewolves are actually easy to get along with, and Uruk is too, but he has a special situation. I have dealt with him a lot, and he will be honest outside. Really waiting for it.”
Elson waved to Hao Ren: "Don't pay attention to that kid, his wife gave him two days - come, I will tell you the route inside the mountain."
Hao Ren wanted to ask what "the wife is only given two days" meant, but the occasion was obviously inappropriate, so he could only lead everyone to look at the map. A group of people stood in a circle around the conference table. Elson patted the tabletop, and a map in the center of the table immediately became active, like a shrunken earth, with flowing clouds and mist and distinct mountains. When Doudou saw this, she immediately jumped out of Hao Ren's collar - she thought the water on the map was real...
The little mermaid slapped on the table. Hao Ren quickly grabbed her and stuffed her back into his clothes. He nodded awkwardly to the people around him: "Haha, keep going, keep going..."
Elson shook his hand nonchalantly and pointed to the snow-capped peaks in the center of the map: "This is the holy mountain of our werewolves..."
Hao Ren had heard the name "Holy Mountain" more than once, so naturally he asked Ofra about it out of curiosity. He knew that the Holy Mountain was a crucial holy place for the werewolf tribe. Many years ago, the werewolves migrated from the south of the continent to the west due to a plague. After crossing the Holy Mountain, the plague that pervaded their tribe was miraculously eliminated. , so the werewolf ancestors at that time believed that this magical mountain protected their own people, so they called it the holy mountain. As time has passed since then, the plague of that year has become an unnoticed event in the history books, but the sanctity of the holy mountain has become increasingly unshakable among the werewolf tribe.
The werewolves do not allow outsiders to set foot on the Holy Mountain because they believe that the Holy Mountain has been helping werewolves to prevent disasters for thousands of years, and foreigners stepping into the mountain will destroy the "sacred barrier" and expose all kinds of disasters that are blocked by the Holy Mountain. Evil is back. In order to protect the holy mountain, the werewolf tribe maintains a powerful wolf cavalry force, and this force has never relaxed for thousands of years - but they did not expect that there would be pagans who could escape the nose of the wolf cavalry. It has been dormant deep in the Holy Mountain for so long.
