Chapter 9: The Hand of Tyr

Hand of Tyr. When Ares and Durham arrived outside the fortress with a group of men, Ares was undoubtedly shocked by what he saw. It was the first large human town that Ares had seen in this world, and it was located on a high ground surrounded by towering stone walls and towers. The gates are tall and mighty, almost reaching the height of five stories.

The blood-colored cathedral in the center of the town is taller than all the buildings in the city, and even from outside the city, you can see the spire and Gothic tower. You can see the smoke rising from the town in the distance, and then dissipating into the air.

The walls were heavily guarded, and blood-colored soldiers in red suits stood guard at their posts, checking every civilian or knight who entered the city.

"Sergeants, paladins, priests, oh, and soldiers. It looks like a hero, and he actually returned alive from the Battle of Stratholme. ”

A guard guarding the door interrogated Ares and Drum with a sinister face. The attitude is arrogant, and the tone is full of contempt and disdain.

"Soldier, please be respectful, whether we are heroes or not will not be said for now, but it is true that we are crusaders, let go of the city gate behind you and let us pass. Anyway, your military rank is several grades higher than mine. When you see your superiors, don't you even have to give a military salute? ”

Durham couldn't stand the gatekeeper's weird interrogation, and forced his temper to reason with him.

"It's true that he used to be a Scarlet Crusader, but now it's still not, it's hard to say."

"What do you mean? Do you suspect that we are undead? ”

Originally, Drumm could still control his emotions, but now, provoked by this guard, the hot-tempered human sergeant couldn't help but explode. He grabbed the guard by the collar and lifted it into the air, the guard did not expect to encounter such a frizzy person, and the whole person was lifted in the air, and his feet were kicked around because they did not touch the ground.

"I tell you, Labor is the Commander of the Third Regiment of the Scarlet Crusade, Drum, in the Orc War, Labor is the soldiers of Lordaeron, my axe has slain the strongest orcs, in the hellish cave of Stratholme, I led my soldiers to fight bloodily, but when I came back, I was suspicious of your minions. Tell Da Sohan that labor and management are back! ”

Drumm said, spitting saliva in the face of the guards guarding the door.

"Sergeant, please put him down, this is the order of Lord Dassohhan, he told us that the troops who went to fight in Stratholme were killed, and a mourning party was held for you, he said, you are heroes."

The gatekeeper was caught up in mid-air and lectured, and the guards on the side quickly stepped forward to stop Drum's rude behavior. His tone was much softer, allowing Drum to calm the anger in his heart for a while. But hearing what D'Asohan had done, Drumm began to feel upset again.

"Labor and management are living well, and they even held a mourning party for me!"

Drum cursed angrily. Then he was about to enter the city, but was intercepted again by two guards.

"What are you doing? Do you want to search me? ”

was made difficult by the doorman, and Drumm was full of fire in his heart. He turned his head to look at Ares and said, it's all you, you have to come back, now you see it, right? This gang of ***.

And Ares could only shrug his shoulders and say, since he came, just bear with it, anyway, he will be safe after entering the city.

"No, Lord Dasuohan has an order that all strangers who enter the city must be quarantined and observed for a month."

The guard said embarrassedly. Because in fact he knew Drum, and he knew Ares. A month ago, the elite troops of the Scarlet Crusaders set out from here to attack Stratholme, and at that time, the people cheered, thinking that the recapture of the city of the dead was close at hand. But they didn't expect that two weeks later, they received the news of the total annihilation of the Crusaders. Da Sohan therefore ordered that any refugees and soldiers entering the city must be quarantined for testing, because they might have become undead.

"Quarantine observation? What to observe? Oh, I see, you suspect that we are undead, right? ”

Drumm said, the joints in his hands already rattling.

"Brothers......

Ares hurriedly stopped his big brother's impulse.

"Your Excellency Drum, please don't embarrass us, this is the order of the Great Lord Dasohan, we are just carrying out the order."

The guard said cautiously.

"Brother, don't embarrass this little doorman, it's not that he won't let us in. He also carries orders with him. ”

Ares stepped forward and grabbed the sergeant's shoulders as a sign of composure. There is no other way out for the refugees who are now wandering outside but the Hand of Tyr.

……

Chained by the guards, Ares and Drum, along with hundreds of Scarlet Veterans behind them, were led into the dark prison of the Hand of Tyr.

The heroes of the war, the survivors who got up from the pile of the dead, were treated like this. Looking at the dark prison that was pitch black and bottomless. Ares could only hehe. Fortunately, the quarantine observation was only carried out for one month......

Just like the Scarlet Crusaders that Ares knew before, they were full of fanatical hatred for the undead and feared that the undead plague would spread into the city, so everyone who joined the Scarlet Crusaders had to go through this process. Ares and Drum, along with the hundred soldiers, are the equivalent of rejoining the group. Because, they were assumed, in the previous battle of Stratholme, they were dead.

One hundred and twenty scarlet veterans were divided into twenty cells and held separately.

The Scarlet Prison resembles a vast dark fortress built on top of a hill. The interior is divided into countless individual cells, like a labyrinth, which is dizzying, and if it is not for the jailer to guide the way, those who come here for the first time are guaranteed to be unable to get out on their own.

There was no sunlight in the dark prison, only oil lamps hanging from stone pillars, emitting a faint glow of fire. Walking through the corridors of the cell, the cries of the dead can be heard from the depths of the dark cells. This kind of scene reminds Ares of Diablo...... Those endless dungeons...... But right now, it's so real that it's chilling.

The cell was damp and cold, and there were even patches of cobwebs overhead, on which small transparent spiders crawled. After the siege of Stratholme, many Scarlet Veterans were terrified of spiders in their hearts, and now seeing this insect hovering overhead, they undoubtedly itched in their hearts again, and they would even recall the group of Scourge Demon Spiders they encountered in the City of the Dead, in the Psychic Tower......

But the jailers of the Scarlet Crusaders did not consider this, they were expressionless and pale, and they carried out orders as if they were machines.

In order to prevent a riot, Ares and Drumm were separated from each other. From time to time, you can hear the angry scolding and hammering of this human uncle from the next cell, and it is obvious that he hates Da Suohan to the core.
