Chapter 276: Patriarch of Macurag

After three days of driving, the hometown of the ultramarines has finally arrived.

Maculag is also the name of a mountain range located in the southwestern part of the Saine Plateau, and in the languages of many barbarian tribes, Makulag means "mountain on the plateau", the boundary mountain between the Saine Plateau and the World Mountains.

The closer you get to the Makulag Mountains, the higher the altitude increases, and the lower the temperature.

Even in the hottest summers, the wind here is still cold, and at night it is even colder, and sleeping in an airship is covered with a quilt.

Looking into the distance, you can see a series of mountain peaks.

The summit of the mountain is covered with snow and ice all year round.

"That's probably the world's mountains. Wren stood on the deck and looked ahead, flipping out a map of the Yoreser continent on his phone.

The World Mountains, also known as the Roof of the World, are the highest elevation in Allenus.

This huge mountain range is an irregular belt that separates the continent of Joresser, known as the "Old World", from north to south, and the remaining half from northwest to southeast, like a giant hook.

The hook-like end of the mountain range extends into the territory of the Duchy of Khohavon, and the Saine plateau is located in the interior of this "hook" as well as to the north.

If you compare the size of the area, the Saine plateau is about the same as the world's mountain ranges.

There is no clear dividing line between the two, and the biggest difference is that the plateau has a large flat grassland in addition to the mountain peaks, which is home to a large number of races and creatures, while the world's mountain ranges have steeper terrain and colder climates, making it difficult for ordinary species to survive.

Both the dragon and the dwarf claim to be the masters of the world's mountains, but one lives at the top of the mountain and the other underground, and they have nothing to do with each other.

The home of the Makulag people can also be considered part of the world's mountain ranges.

In fact, the Makulag Mountains are also of great significance to the Empire, as it is the birthplace of the Nakรผmer River, the longest river in the Empire, but not many people know about it, and even fewer people have visited it.

It's noon.

Suddenly, a vast plateau appeared in front of the airship, and at the end of the field of vision, dozens of tall mountain peaks stood there densely, like a high wall between heaven and earth, which was daunting.

"Finally home!"

"Astarte, we're back......"

The Ultramarines were on deck, shouting in the direction of the mountains, their expressions excited, and a few of them even knelt down and whispered prayers to their hometowns.

This plateau is dotted with hundreds of lakes of various sizes, lush water, lush landscapes, and even large forests.

This is one of the most pleasant areas that Rennes has seen since entering the plateau.

The airship continued to fly for more than half an hour, approaching the foot of the mountains, and finally, a magnificent city made entirely of rock came into view.

Wren looked at the city and couldn't help but be very surprised.

In their mouths, Sicarius has always referred to their homeland as a tribe.

In Wren's impression, the tribe of the barbarians should be very simple, and they may occupy a wide area, but with the civilization and technical level of the barbarians, they are certainly far inferior to humans, and at most they are good to build houses out of logs and stones.

Along the way, the several barbarian tribes that the airship passed by were indeed very backward.

However, what you are looking at is a real city!

And it's spectacular.

The city is built on a hill and blends into a huge cliff at least 800 meters high, divided into five levels from top to bottom.

The first layer at the bottom is surrounded by a wall more than ten meters high, forming a semicircle to protect the city. Hundreds of stone houses were built on the flat ground inside the city walls, and along the avenue of the main entrance, at the bottom of the cliff, there were two long slopes leading to the second level of the city.

Then there is the third floor, the fourth floor, each of which is connected by a ramp or tunnel, the higher the number of floors, the narrower the area, and the fewer buildings.

Each floor has its own walls and entrances, like a well-defended fortress, which is difficult for thousands of troops to penetrate.

A huge rock was like a sharp blade, cutting the entire city in half.

This blade-like rock stretches from the back of the main entrance plaza on the first floor to the top of the city. The top of the rock was hewn flat, the fifth layer, and a majestic temple was built out of white boulders.

In the middle of the temple stands a tall gray tower, and from the top of the tower, you can look down on the whole city.

Beyond the temple, there is an even steeper stone wall behind it, which hangs in the air on both sides, and it is impossible to attack the city from the mountain behind it unless the enemy can fly, which can be described as impregnable.

Wren looks at this rocky city from afar.

Although its overall scale is not large, far inferior to those of the big cities of the empire, and it may only be able to live in tens of thousands of people at most, which is less than the population of a village and town on the outskirts of Modu, but a vicissitudes, quaintness, and grandeur of the momentum are breathtaking.

"Sicarius, why didn't you tell me before that the tribe was like this?" Wren asked with an admiring expression.

"Uh......" Sicarius scratched his head, "I thought the boss knew." โ€

Wren's face froze.

He always shows that he is knowledgeable in front of others, as if he knows more than anyone else, but in fact, he relies on the mobile phone library to appear in front of people, that is, pretending to be forced.

There's so much I don't know......

Wren muttered.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still a little time for the airship to land, he hurriedly searched the library carefully for the materials of Mount Macurag, and soon obtained detailed information.

It turned out that the city was not founded by barbarians, but by dwarves.

At the beginning of the last epoch, about 10,000 years ago, the Dwarves rose up and came out of the mountains of the world to gradually rule the vast areas of the Saine Plateau and the eastern part of the Old World, including the current imperial territory, which were once dwarven territories.

The dwarves have built many cities on the plateau, the most famous of which is the one in front of you, known as "Mondberg" in the dwarven language, which was once the political center of the dwarves on the plateau.

At the end of the era, the Abyss invaded, and the dwarves weakened and retreated to the underground of the World Mountains.

This spectacular city was abandoned by the dwarves and taken over by the barbarians of the plateau, fought over it several times, changed hands many times, and finally the Makurags became the masters of the city until now.

The people of Makulag named it after their oldest ancestor, Astarte.

The name is only circulated within the clan.

Because of its strategic location and the fertile land outside the city, Astarte was coveted by many barbarian tribes, troll tribes, and even various intelligent races on the plateau, and wars continued for hundreds of years.

The people of Maculag have lost the protection of their gods, and it is not easy to hold on to them until now.

The airship arrives over the city.

A few kilometers away, the Makulag people in the city were alarmed, and the temple towers on top sounded loud trumpets, and groups of tall barbarians ran in all directions and climbed the walls.

Every barbarian, male or female, was powerful, armed with a weapon and carrying a javelin.

They hid behind the walls of each floor, looking up at the airship in the sky, their eyes wary and a little curious, but none of them had a look of fear in their eyes.

Wren kept the airship at a safe distance, hovering in mid-air.

Then he said to the three extreme warriors riding the fiery dragon, "You go down first." โ€

"Okay, boss. โ€

The three of Sicarius jumped onto the fire dragon, clamped their legs, and the dragon glided towards the city.

The arrival of the three-headed fiery dragon made the Makulag people below even more vigilant, but some people saw the figures on the dragon's back and recognized them as their own kind.

"Don't do it. โ€

On the highest rock platform in the city, in the open space in front of the temple, an extremely strong and majestic Makulag stood on the edge of the platform and shouted, and the sound reverberated throughout the city.

Wren looked at him, and the Eye of the Soul saw that it was a legendary barbarian.

As the Ultramarines have mentioned before, there is currently only one legend in the Makulag clan, the patriarch Marius.

This is the strongest barbarian Wren has ever seen, his strength is close to the middle level of the legend, with more than twenty elements, most of which are powerful physical elements, making his physical fitness terrifyingly strong, a head taller than the average Macurag, nearly two and a half meters;

Strength, Swiftness, Tenacity, Endurance, Self-Healing, Quick Recovery, Unyielding Will, Charge, Heavy Attack, Eyesight, Precision Throw, Slash, Wind Slash, Swift Shadow Thrust, Lightning Counterattack, Swift Run, Sky Jump, Unload, Battle Frenzy, Shockwave, Power Burst, Courage Roar, Ignore Pain, Poison Resistance......

In terms of strength alone, this barbarian patriarch has reached level eight, and like himself, all kinds of combat skill elements have been strengthened over many years, and almost all of them have reached the upper limit.

He is a fully enhanced version of Sicarius!

Marius had the elements that Sicarius had, and was stronger, and the elements that Sicarius did not have, Marius also had, and had trained to a very high level.

Wren felt a little stressed at one glance.

If he is only better than melee strength, he may not be his opponent, of course, if he uses various amplification methods and spells, it should not be a problem to defeat him.

The fire dragon descended to the very top of the city, the platform in front of the temple.

The three of Sicarius jumped down and said, "Patriarch, we are back. โ€

Marius' eyes were surprised, and the barbarian warriors around him were also extremely curious, and let out an exclamation.

Marius looked at Sicarius in heavy armor, his gaze swept over the three fiery dragons, and finally landed on the airship in the sky, and finally asked, "Sicarius, what happened to you in the empire this year, and why has it changed so much?"

"Where did you get the Fire Dragon Mount?"

"Also, what's the matter with that airship in the sky?"

"Hmm, that's not right!"

Before Marius could finish asking, his eyes suddenly changed, staring at the three extreme warriors, as if he had discovered something unavoidable, and his face was extremely shocked: "Sicarius, and Tyrion, why have you all advanced to the rank of legend?"
