Chapter 213 Crossing the River
Finally, after a series of farce, Roland took his younger brothers and the dwarves and set off together. They were about to rush to the southernmost point of the kingdom - Lulong Fortress! At this time, Renault was stationed there as a guard. It was not only the southern gate of the Lagrand Kingdom, but also the southern gate of all kingdoms near Gushan!
…
"It's amazing! How did the wise men of the Laglan Empire seal such a majestic city back then?" Balin and other dwarves were extremely amazed. You must know that such a fortress was built by the dwarves with infinite strength. It took several years. As for sealing it and leaving it to future generations, the dwarves asked themselves that they did not have such strength.
"Thank you for that unreliable system. Even the wise men of the Lagrange Empire have not been able to seal such a fortress, unless they are gods!" Roland said silently in his heart.
"As long as the defenders of this fortress have long hands, the orcs will definitely hit their heads and bleed at her feet!" Bahrain did not hesitate to praise the defensive power of Lulong Fortress. Although he did not understand the role of those dragon hunting towers, But that didn't stop him from guessing those terrible defense methods.
"Yes, as long as the center of this fortress has not fallen, the orcs will not be able to completely capture it. The defenders can still rely on the central fortress to fight back. Unless they use forbidden spells to attack in large numbers, there is no way to directly destroy her!" Roland introduced proudly.
"Go in and rest for the night, Your Highness. It's getting late now, and we can't go very far even if we hurry. It's better to rest and recuperate before setting off tomorrow." Ormsk came to Roland's side and suggested.
"Your Excellency Balin, what do you think?" Roland still needs to consider the feelings of his dwarf allies.
"Of course, being able to spend the night in such a safe fortress is much better than sleeping in the wilderness!" Bahrain nodded and agreed with this proposal. After all, the wilderness is still unsafe. Although the crowd can deter predators, the crowd It will also attract some uninvited guests, such as wandering tribes of orcs.
…
"Boom!" As the heavy city gate of the fortress closed, a group of people filed into the fortress.
"Oh! King Roland, we can just rest here. There is no need to arrange a special place for us!" Balin pointed to the open space next to the city gate and said to Roland. They were already very grateful to Roland for allowing them to enter the fortress to rest. If they go deep into the fortress On the contrary, it is not beautiful. After all, as the defense gate of a kingdom cannot be kept secret too much, Balin believes that he cannot bring allies into the dwarves' defense system like Roland.
But if Roland knew what Balin was thinking, he would probably laugh. In fact, even if the dwarves really leaked the secrets of the fortress, Roland wouldn't worry. After all, knowing what it is and whether it can be defeated is another story. As a large-scale The defensive power of Lulong Fortress, a bastion fortification, can be said to be impenetrable. If the defenders have sufficient supplies, they can completely withstand enemies ten times their size. Even if they are familiar with the internal situation of the fortress, the enemy still has to rely on human lives to fill it in bit by bit. . Dorvinian Heavy Swordsman
"Well, that's not good..." Roland said hesitantly. He didn't think much about it. He just thought that letting the dwarves build tents on the ground in the city was a bit careless.
"It doesn't matter, we just need a quiet place to rest! No need to bother." Bahrain repeatedly refused.
"Okay, but we will be responsible for the food. Although we don't have your favorite beer, the bread and barbecue are enough! Please don't refuse." Renault came over and quietly pulled Roland, and then said to Bahrain and the others. .
"Of course, thank you for your hospitality and trouble for you." Bahrain agreed with a smile.
…
After pulling Roland away, Renault stared at Roland helplessly for a few times and then sighed helplessly: "Your Highness, you have such a big heart!"
"Ah? What's wrong?" Roland put on a black question mark face, and in line with the principle of asking if you don't understand, Roland still asked.
"You just invite people to our important fortifications to rest for a night, but you still want them to continue to go deep into the fortress... Don't you feel wrong even if you don't see the arrogant dwarves? A country's defense system is the top priority. We can't let outsiders peep..." Renault sighed helplessly. Even if Bahrain and the others didn't say anything, he would restrict the dwarves' activity area. Although the defense of Lulong Fortress is not afraid of those conspiracies, it still needs to be prepared just in case. , Fortunately, these dwarves are very smart, and they took the initiative to propose this, which made everyone look good. Only Balin and Renault understood this tacit understanding.
"This..." Roland was dumbfounded. How could a young man of the new era know so many twists and turns? He just simply felt that it was not safe outside and did not take good care of his allies.
"Oh... forget it, please be more careful next time..." Renault had a headache. He was not afraid of the god-like Sauron, but he was afraid of the pig-like teammates. What's more, this thing is his own king. Renault instantly felt so tired. What could be worse? Is it more heartbreaking to be stabbed by your own king?
"It seems that some defense facilities need to be modified..." Renault thought to himself. Although the dwarf did not see much and was unlikely to betray his allies, Renault did not dare to be careless about the preparations he had to make. Otherwise, once the city was destroyed, The entire kingdom will face the orcs in the south!
(Note: At present, the eastern part of the kingdom is still blank. It only relies on the Tuput tribe to guard the east, so the defense force is very weak. At present, most of the troops of the Lagrand Kingdom are gathered to patrol and station in the east.)
…
A night of silence.
"Your Highness, take care! I look forward to your triumph!" Renault stopped after sending Roland to the door. The defenders in the city watched their king go away...
It's not that they are unwilling to give each other a lift, but that they have a more difficult task - defending Lulong Fortress! Originally, after Roland took away 600 people, the entire kingdom's military strength was somewhat stretched. If we send people to send each other to send the king on the expedition... When the good guy comes back and finds that his family is gone, isn't that a great injustice? Moreover, Renault felt that Roland did not need to be sent to each other. The escort team composed of two hundred Lagrand Royal Guards was no better than what? Even if a hundred-man knights wanted to tear apart their defense, it would be extremely difficult.
…
"Okay! After crossing the river, you will find the old forest road! Come and prepare to cross the river!" Roland released two small Galen boats from the space, which can ferry 300 people at one time, and can take everyone away in just four times.
"Bahrain! Organize your people, we have to cross the Swift River! After crossing the river, the initiative is no longer in our hands! Crisis is hidden everywhere, we need to be careful!" Roland reminded.
"Don't worry, King Roland! The dwarves have nothing to fear!" Balin patted his chest.
"Of course! I will remember your fearlessness and bravery in my heart, but we still need to avoid unnecessary sacrifices! I hope to bring every brother home!" Roland patted Balin on the shoulder and said with emotion.
