Chapter 180 The Fortress Stands
In the early morning, with a few traces of morning dew, an army marched out quietly, the Lagrang dragon flag as bright as blood shining with charming light.
"What a fertile land...it's a pity that we can't use it." Roland sighed.
"Our manpower is limited, but unfortunately we don't have the ability to gather the wandering tribesmen." Renault shrugged helplessly.
"We are always facing war. We have no way to retreat. We can only try to expand our territory as much as possible in order to trade space for time for development." Roland's eyes were extremely profound.
"..." Renault was stunned for a moment. No wonder his king was so keen on expanding the land, even if he couldn't develop it at all, he still worked tirelessly. It turned out that he had such a purpose.
"Our population is not as good as that of the orcs, so we can only use our vast territory and strong fortresses to block their movements. If necessary, we can give up part of the land and shrink the defense line." Roland said calmly to Renault.
"You are right." Renault was stunned, but after thinking for a moment he had to admit Roland's words.
"But once Lulong Fortress is re-established... we cannot afford to lose it!" Roland said slowly. He did not want the tragedy of Dol Guldur to happen again in Rapid City. You must know that Dol Guldur was originally just a The elven city is not yet a real fortress, but it was completely transformed into a fortress after falling into the hands of the orcs! The Lulong Fortress is even more terrifying than Dol Guldur, because the original intention of its establishment was to be a war fortress, and the possibility of civilian use was not considered at all. All facilities were built to serve the military. Once the orcs capture her, there will never be peace in Swiftstream City or even the entire Raglan Kingdom.
"Now do you think the 500 men stationed at her will be reimbursed?" Roland asked with a sigh.
"But we can't ignore the safety of Flowing City!" Renault said helplessly.
"Sigh... Let Kaslo stay in Lulong Fortress from now on. The intimidating power of a dragon knight can always intimidate most young people." Roland had no choice but to let his only dragon knight go, a 3 The combat effectiveness of the Tier 6 dragon knights is not weaker than that of Tier 6 professionals. After all, their output depends entirely on the dragon. The role of the knight is only to protect the blind spot behind the dragon.
"It's a bit of a waste for Kaslo to put it here." Renault said with regret.
"There must be a high-end combat power here that can intimidate the enemy. If Kaslo doesn't come, how can we expect Ormsk to come here?" Roland's face turned dark immediately. It is indeed more embarrassing than throwing a hero here to disgrace the Dragon Knight. It's a bit outrageous. After all, heroic units all move together with the knights. As a profession with a very high leadership bonus, knights have never been able to survive alone.
"Your Highness's destination is almost here!" Unknowingly, Roland and others had arrived near their destination.
The green forest and blue sky in the distance are reflected on the wide river, and an obvious road appears between the forests, leaving an obvious gap.
"Your Highness, the other side is Laolin Road. We have reached our destination!" Renault whispered, looking at the intersection on the other side.
"Huh? We're here!" Roland was startled and then realized.
"Then let's get started!" Roland took out the alchemy bottle that sealed Lulong Fortress and raised it.
"What a magnificent fortress!" Renault murmured, staring at the miniature fortress in the bottle.
As the obscure dragon language in Roland's mouth was lightly spoken, six golden and red hexagram arrays suddenly popped up on the entire alchemy bottle. They were suspended in the up, down, front, left, and right directions of the alchemy bottle. As the dragon language was spat out from Roland's mouth, those hexagrams The tiny magic circle patterns on the body are constantly changing, and the magic lines are quietly connected together in the dragon's language...
"Buzz!" The first six-pointed star formation was radiant, and dissipated instantly with the dazzling light.
Then came the second, third... Finally, after Roland chanted for several minutes, the last six-pointed star array exploded and dissipated. The entire alchemy bottle shook lightly and the magic patterns on it shattered and dissipated.
"The seal has been released..." Roland's voice trembled with excitement.
"Yes... the last war fortress... Lulong..." Renault's eyes flashed with crystal light.
"Crack!" The alchemy bottle was thrown down hard by Roland and made a crisp cracking sound.
"Boom!" A phantom stood slowly between the sky and the earth in a flash of red light.
"Lulong!" Two raglan characters were written on the city head dipped in gilt. Countless golden dragon flags with red background fluttered in the wind. The tall city wall as a whole showed a purple and ink color, a chill from ancient times. The breath came.
"It was dyed red by the blood of the orcs who had fallen under the fortress..." Renault was deeply shocked. How many orcs would have to be killed to cover the entire fortress wall with their blood.
"Bastion!" Roland was delighted. The Lulong Fortress that appeared in front of them turned out to be a four-pointed star-shaped bastion! The bastion is known as the most difficult defense facility to conquer in the cold weapon era!
"It's so cruel!" Only after looking at the physical form can you discover the details that are sealed in the alchemy bottle and cannot be seen. In addition to the most obvious 8 meteorite dragon towers, this Lulong Fortress actually has a hundred heavy crossbow towers! That thing can also pose a big threat to the giant dragon. If it is used against people... I am afraid that the royal guards will not be able to withstand a few arrows!
"This thing was built to deal with the Dragon Clan before!" Roland couldn't help but complain.
"Your Highness... Facts have proved that you are right... Lulong Fortress was indeed built because of the threat of wild dragons. Her position is to hunt dragons!" Renault grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.
"Pervert!" Roland couldn't help but praise the Raglan royal family, they are so cruel! In order to stop the giant dragon, a dragon hunting fortress was built!
"This thing was first deployed on the Gray Mountains, but later it was said that it was captured by the northern Orcs... But it turns out that how could the Orcs break through the Lulong Fortress, known as the last fortress! That is a place that even the dragons will hate. Ah!" Renault sighed.
"..." Roland actually wanted to tell him that the Lulong Fortress in the game was not only captured, but also demolished by orcs! If it weren't for the omnipotent system... he might not even be able to see the bricks of Lulong Fortress.
"How majestic! What a spectacular building! This is the afterglow of the empire! It is the hope of the empire! It is the embodiment of the empire's unyielding will!" Renault's voice gradually became more and more passionate.
"Good guy, are you on top? Are you starting to ups and down? I'm afraid he's seriously ill..." Roland frowned as he looked at Renault, who was dancing like a madman.
"Your Highness, why don't you look happy?" Renault, who had been entertaining himself with the soldiers for a long time, finally realized Roland was staying quietly aside, so he asked curiously.
"Of course we are happy, but we will not go crazy. Even the most solid and majestic fortress is only ours if we can hold it!" Roland said worriedly as he looked in the direction of Dol Guldur.
"Don't worry, Your Highness! No one can cross Lulong while we are alive!" The soldiers who will be stationed here puffed up their chests, with firm fighting intent flashing in their eyes.
