Originally, the three or five sneaky stalkers seemed to notice the gaze of Levi and Strong, and they all hid in dark corners and did not come out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoTheir task is to track and report their location, and since the mission has failed, they have not continued to choose to follow Levi and Strong, after all, the patrols of the elite sergeants in the inner city around them have also increased.

Slowly letting go of his grip on the handle of the gun, and after seeing that there was no trace of the stalker around, Levi couldn't help but shake his head slightly. After leaving the group of sailors, Levi realized that he didn't seem to be able to act alone, especially since he had already offended the viscount who was hiding in the shadows in Baaltown, and if it weren't for the fact that Strong in front of him was actually an escort, he would be in a slightly dangerous situation now.

And Levi's eyes slowly narrowed, looking up at the towering giant-like Governor's Castle not far away, he couldn't help but slowly purse his mouth, carefully looking at the center of the Gray Mist City. Numerous turrets and towers were being built on the top and around the castle, and the high and low shooting towers also leaned against the main body of the castle, and the castle was made of stone as if it were armed to the teeth.

This is the subversive fortification of the feudal era, even if there are ten times the strength and the siege weapon to win, if you do not have the intention of losing a lot, the price of storming the castle is unbearable. Levi also understood the defensive power of this castle, because this kind of castle is not much different from the castle built by the European lords in the Western Middle Ages on the earth!

This castle, built entirely of huge stones, is also a masterpiece of the Cold Weapon Age, and its unique design aesthetics combined with the advantages of defense, as well as the reasonable placement of shooting firepower such as crossbows, war bows, and ballistas, have become works of art and meat grinders. This point has undoubtedly proved its excellence in the feudal history of the west of the earth, or in the history of war on the earth, it has also left a strong mark as a defender.

Even during a certain crusade in history, on a small island in the Mediterranean, five or six hundred Knights Hospitaller relied on such a small stone castle and the condescending and narrow and complex geographical advantages to withstand six or seven attacks by tens of thousands of people in the Ottoman Empire. Moreover, the siege also relied on the stored food for a long time, and stood like a rock, which shocked the Ottoman leading generals at that time, so that after the peace talks between the two sides ensured the safe evacuation of the remaining members of the Knights Hospitaller, the island and the castle were finally completely occupied.

"How's that, it's spectacular, isn't it?"

Strong also seemed to sense Levi's gaze, he looked up slightly at the Governor's Castle gradually appearing at the end of the street, and the height of more than ten meters also made him can't help but exhale slowly. It was the true heart of the Grey Mist, and many people wanted to enter it to wield the most alluring authority in the Northern Trumming Sea, but the Governor who was rumored to be seriously ill had held his scepter as firmly as he had thirty years ago.

"It's really spectacular."

Nodding slightly, Levi's face also showed admiration, because it was indeed the pinnacle of defense in the era of cold weapons, and it was undeniably perfect. However, his eyes did not have the same awe as ordinary people did when they first saw the Governor's Castle, because he was familiar with the recent history of the earth, and he also understood that this kind of defensive pinnacle, which could only dominate in the age of cold weapons, in the vast modern history of the invention of gunpowder weapons and the vast modern history, belonged to the overwhelming tide of the era of thermal weapons, and finally only turned into works of art and lost its original defensive ability.

In the end, there is not much left of the castles that once dotted the land of Europe on the earth, because in the face of increasingly advanced artillery, these castles built entirely of stone also show their greatest decline. Solid iron balls can easily shatter rocks that are hard but brittle, and castles are even less defensive than earthen walls that absorb kinetic energy better, and the pinnacle of defense in modern history has finally evolved into a real, perfect fortification in the era of thermal weapons - the bastion.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the current Levi, because the invention of the fortress is more because of the development of artillery, in the current era of cold weapons, this is more than ten meters high Governor's Castle, and the shooting positions piled up by various arrow towers and guard towers are already the pinnacle of fortifications, and any feudal troops in the era of cold weapons want to capture such a giant, except for using a large number of corpses to pile up ladders, then there is no better way.

"But what makes me curious, what is the building over there?"

Levi's eyes moved slightly away from the tall Doge's Castle, and his vision slowly looked to the side, just in the distance of the giant Doge's Castle, almost on the other side of the inner city, a round tower that seemed to be six stories high was standing, also made of stone, and the overall color was also oppressive dark cyan. However, Levi also understood something when he looked at the unique shape in his heart, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Mage Tower? ”

"Well, that's right." Strong nodded slowly, his eyes looking at the round tower, his eyes filled with mixed emotions. Subconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword in the sheath at his waist, as an excellent young knight, but also a member of a traditional knight family, he had a slight difference to this mage tower known for its study, research and control of magical powers, because as the nobles canonized by the governor, their relationship with this mage tower was not friendly.

Not only was it unfriendly, but especially with the fact that there were people inside the Mage Tower who joined the struggle between the nobles, it also attracted the deepest jealousy and faint hatred from the nobles on the governor's side. However, Strong didn't say much, he still strode forward, his eyes were already looking at the bottom wall of the Governor's Castle that was gradually arriving in front, and he reminded Levi slowly: "In front is the heavily guarded Governor's Castle, if you enter, you need to disarm, I hope you can cooperate when the time comes." ”

"Disarmed? Of course, I understand. ”

Levi nodded, his eyes also shifted to the dark cyan round tower, and the pedestrians on the surrounding streets were already scarce, but there were a lot more elite soldiers in the inner city holding halberds and wearing chain mail, and the patrol could be seen at almost every street entrance, and the appearance of martial law could not be caught up even in the bustling areas of the inner city. After all, it is an important intersection of the Governor's Castle, and it is also the top priority for the elite infantry in the inner city to defend.

As the street reached the end, a level square of about three hundred meters appeared in front of us, the whole square was paved with marble, and the circle around the Doge's Castle was all neatly slate. However, this is not the elite sergeants of the inner city to defend, those who look similar, but in fact are more powerful and burly Governor's Guards have taken over the entire square, even Strong, the knight of the inner city, has directly blocked the way.

"Dear Knight Strong, if there is no order from the Governor, please explain your reason for coming to the Governor's Castle."

A burly Governor's Guard directly reached out to stop Strong and Levi, looking at them indifferently, and the equally burly members of the Guard behind him also stood side by side, staring at them coldly, as if they had spotted some sneaky thug. But the captain of the Governor's Guard frowned slightly, his gaze swept over the silver ring on Levi's finger, his face changed, and he still opened his mouth to Levi and lowered his tone slightly: "Stranger, I don't know what you call it?" ”

"You can call me Levi." Nodding, Levi raised his right hand as well, and the rings made of sterling silver also appeared in front of the eyes of this group of Governors' Guards, and the countless fine and mysterious gold threads on it were also clearly visible, but it made the faces of these Governor's Guards even more solemn. However, Levi still frowned, looked at the burly captain of the Doge's Guard in front of him, and shrugged, "A vice-captain named Addison gave it to me, maybe it is of some use. ”

"Is it Vice-Captain Addison?"

The captain of the Doge's Guard obviously knew the inside story, turned his head to look at the Strong Knight next to him, nodded at him with a solemn face, and said directly to Levi: "You can enter the Doge's Castle with me." However, his words were only said to Levi alone, and to the Strong Knight he said apologetically: "According to the Governor's wishes, I can only lead Mr. Levi in, presumably your teacher, Baron Charles, also knows." ”

"Of course." The Strong Knight didn't have any surprise or annoyance, nodded and didn't say anything, just smiled and said he didn't care. But he turned his head to look at Levi, thought about it, took out a small money bag from his coat pocket, handed it to Levi without looking at it, and then turned around and left, leaving only a sentence: "Mr. Levi, this is my reward for Mr. Charles, and I hope that the next time we meet, it will be from another decent occasion." ”
