417 Duke of the "Undead".
。 "So this fortress is called [Oserrent]?"
Paladin and the others apparently received the prompts of their respective guides, and looked around the surroundings, this fortress is still a Europa-style building, but the style is somewhat different from the current architectural style of the Duchy of Andère, which is more ancient, rugged and tends to be utilitarian, which is completely different from the buildings that are generally popular in the Duchy of Andère today, which tend to be artistic, aesthetic and delicate, and it is obviously an ancient building left over from the war era.
The walls of the fortress are made of large blocks of rock, high and heavy, while the interior, likewise utilitarian rock rooms, is unadorned.
If they hadn't sneaked in from the cracks in the fortress that had collapsed due to its age, and wanted to attack directly by force, I am afraid that without the assistance of a fully organized high-level legion, it would have been impossible at all.
Their current location is actually a room built in the fortress that is dozens of meters thick, in the Tibetan room, storage room and other rooms, the area is not large, about a few hundred square meters of area, after they climbed in, there are no undead creatures stationed here. This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
However, after hearing the name [Oserrent], Wutong was immediately stunned, because in his "Raiders", the name of this place was mentioned, but the author who wrote the "outline" did not seem to have been able to find the location of [Oserrent], but mentioned a historical mission related to [Oserrent], or rather, it is not impossible to call it a "background mission", "main quest", and "legendary mission".
It's just that this legendary large-scale mission is not at all what they can access now. Not to mention the Wutong who was only 1st order, even when the "strategy writer" was scouting here, he and his companions were already 2nd order at that time, and when they went deep into this fortress, they couldn't find the north.
You can't do that legendary quest for the time being. However, the lack did not prevent Sycamore from finding the information of this fortress from memory, and the location of some of the treasures that had been hidden
[O'Serrent]. At the time of the [End War] that broke out during the [Year of Dawn], the war fortress was established when the five divided human nations were at war with each other. The kingdom of Andel was defeated in the war. All the northern territories, including the current capital of Fairhaven City, Willshire, and the Willwoods, the Broken Whispering Forest, the Wailing Wilderness, and the Starry Mountains, were all occupied by the warring enemy Kingdom of Kannas, and Adele's forces retreated to the Eludon Plains west of the Venana River, and the territory of the Eludon Plains at that time still belonged to the Andel Kingdom.
In order to prevent the Kingdom of Ander from counterattacking back, the Kingdom of Kanas built a large number of war fortresses and war fortresses along the east bank of the Venana River, and the [Osellent] Fortress was responsible for guarding the [Gray Plain Plains], one of the communication arteries between the current [Broken Forest] and [Will Forest], [Eludon Field] and the northern territory of Ander.
And at that time it was stationed at the fortress of [Oserrent]. It is the most famous terrorist legion of the Kingdom of Kannas: the [Blood Red Dead] Legion, and the leader of this legion is among the royal cousins of the Kingdom of Kannas. His Excellency Duke Candace Epimique, known as the "Duke of the Undead".
During the years of war, the [Scarlet Dead] legion has held the [Graybone Plains] the way home for the Andeles. Even in the location of the Gray Bone Plain, hundreds of large-scale battles have been launched, which is why there is a thick layer of ashes on the Gray Bone Plain at present, and I don't know how many brave soldiers of the two countries will sleep forever on this gray land.
However, Duke Candace Epimic, known as the "Undead", finally failed to make this land the territory of the Kingdom of Cannas, because another plain artery located between the current Duchy of Andel [Breeze County] and [Willshire] was lost, and the army of the Kingdom of Andel returned to their homeland with great strength, not only expelling the army of Canas back to the east of the [Inheritance Strait], but also clearing out the army of Thrayne, which occupies the current southern territory of the Duchy of Andrell. …,
Tragically, the rear army of Canas was defeated, and the Knights of Andel Offa in the Gray Plains were surrounded from the rear, and the [Blood Red Dead] legions, which were unable to withdraw to Canas in the future, were trapped on the Gray Plains.
The "undead" Duke Candace Eomik, who refused to surrender, led the [Scarlet Dead] legion and held out alone on the Gray Bone Plains for nearly ten years, and finally under the joint forbidden spell attack of several legendary ** masters sent by the Andel royal family, who had stabilized the country, together with the entire [Scarlet Dead] legion, the [Oserrent] fortress, and the undead duke, they stayed forever in the land where they had fought.
Although this tactic eliminated the last enemy in the territory of the Kingdom of Andele, it also caused Andel to lose a piece of territory forever, that is, the [Gray Bone Plain] that was completely destroyed.
The unwilling Duke of the Undead, whose wraiths are immortal, returned from hell and awakened the warriors of the entire [Scarlet Dead] legion to continue to garrison the fortress of [Oserrent].
These are all the contents that Wutong saw from the thick history books of the large library of the Venane Academy, and there are also related contents in the materials bound to the "Supreme Platinum Edition VIP Account Card", but I'm afraid that few players will have nothing to do to study the history of the kingdoms that stretches for tens of thousands of years, right?
Unfortunately, Wutong is the idle guy who hurts, connecting the words in the "Raiders", as well as the historical background that Wutong himself understands, under the reference of the two, Wutong even obtained more precious information than the "Raiders Writer", so that when Wutong learned that this was the legendary [Oserrent] fortress that was annihilated in history more than 2,000 years ago, he couldn't help but be stunned!
This is one of the most rare tragic battles in the history of the five thousand years or so after the human race landed on the Kovarare continent, and the nearly four million soldiers of the entire [Blood Red Dead] legion turned into powder in just a few dozen breaths. One of the Legendary Tier Masters who destroyed the [Scarlet Dead] Legion fell to the [Oxlent] Fortress!
In order to annihilate the terrible [Scarlet Dead] legion, one of the Legendary-level ** masters did not hesitate to infiltrate the [Osirent] Fortress, using himself as a guiding source to guide the forbidden spell to burst out with the [Osirrent] Fortress as the core.
Although the "strategy writer" only mentions this information. There is not much detailed content, after all, after Wutong's observation and judgment between the lines of which "Raiders", the "personnel" who wrote the "Raiders". It's only a few months ahead of the time period they're playing, and they're only slightly ahead of their schedule. This. It can be seen from the fact that this strategy writer is only 2 levels.
However, Wutong is very suspicious that the legendary ** master who fell in the [Oserrent] fortress may have a relic left, otherwise, why would the "strategy writer" specifically mention this?
The reason why the "strategy writer" did not write the detailed situation is probably because his own strength is not enough to unlock the veil of this secret. It's just a sporadic clue.
Well, even if you know this, for the Sycamore, who is only at the 1st order. It's not much use, and even the second-order "strategy writers" haven't been able to detect the information. Could it be that he, a Rank 1 Little Mage, could still uncover this secret before the "pioneers" who were months ahead of their game progress?
"We're in." Sycamore sent another [Communication] to Zara, informing it that his group had entered the fortress of [Oserrent].
Dressed up in spearman suits again, disguised as skeletons or former [Scarlet Dead] legionnaires, the group walked out of the dilapidated storage room, which was almost ready to collapse. ..., the area of the fortress is very large, after all, it is a war fortress that can accommodate four million [blood and red dead] legionnaires, although the area cannot be compared with a city that can accommodate four million civilians, but it is almost one-twentieth the size of Fairhaven City, which can accommodate the lives of nearly 10 million aboriginal people.
Don't underestimate this twentieth of the area, how big is Fairhaven City? A huge metropolis capable of accommodating a population of nearly 10 million aborigines and a population of 20 to 30 million players! Even in reality, cities with a population of more than 10 million are rare, let alone cities in the context of the Middle Ages.
But the game is a game after all, not limited by land area, in order to accommodate a large enough player population, the population of the aborigines and native species of "Endless" itself is incomparably large, and the cities in the game are generally huge exaggerated, and in the fantasy background, through the support of various esoteric spells and wonderful occult building technology, the city built up, the capacity of the population is not much worse than that of a real megacity.
Just walked around the walls of the fortress for a while, and Wutong and they were sure that this ghost place, at least in the middle of the game, is a place where players can only come after entering the 5th and 6th levels, and now they run to this ghost place, which is not much different from suicide.
Everyone was in a cold sweat and began to regret why they ran in, although Infinity and Xiao San hung up, but the wanderers who were good at hiding and detecting were all hanging, what was the use of them coming in?
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world to take, and the people who have already thrown themselves into the net and slipped into the place of death can only pretend to be skeleton soldiers with trepidation, carefully pretending to patrol in the shadow of the huge rock building.
Behind the walls of the fortress, there were huge barracks one after another, and huge war equipment one after another were neatly arranged under the city walls, waiting to be pushed up the city wall from the wide ramp at any time to attack the enemy, although most of them had decayed and would be reduced to pieces at the slightest touch, but it did not prevent them from seeing the majesty they had on the battlefield from those war equipment that still barely maintained their original shape.
"Don't go near the inside, Wood and I will find a way to get out."
Sycamore and the others were about to take a deeper look when Indus received a reply from Zara that took a long time to send back.
But the problem is, they can't just stand stupidly, there are military camps all over here! Groups of skeleton patrol squads are patrolling according to certain rules, if their "skeleton squad" is overnumbered, and they are always wandering around the same area, even if they have no intelligence, they will notice that something is wrong, right?
The group of people who didn't dare to move was in a dilemma now, and if they wanted to return to the storage room just now, their team would have to turn around, but the patrol teams were all patrolling in one direction, and if they "went against the grain", would they be discovered?
But further on, you reach the second wall of the fortress of Oserent, which is taller and thicker, with more skeletons stationed and patrolling, and it looks like a higher level!
According to the [knowledge] level of Wutong [architecture] and [engineering], if you are not mistaken, a city wall like this in a military fortress will have at least three floors, and if it is a little more, there will be five floors, and a war fortress of a huge scale like the [Oserrent] fortress will not have more layers, if they continue to go deeper, they will be within the range of the long-range attack of the second city wall, and they will walk around, in case they enter the forbidden area and are directly shot by the golden archers on the city wall, then it is called wronged.
While slowly rubbing his pace, Wutong looked around secretly, and suddenly saw rows of tall warehouses behind the barracks not far away, which should be the logistics warehouse of the [Blood Red Dead] Legion, although more than 2,000 years have passed, and the food and supplies have long been corrupted into ashes, but maybe there are any good things left in it? …,
Quietly inform everyone, quietly turn to the nearest warehouse to them, Wutong plans to risk sneaking in to see, anyway, they have already entered the dead place, and they don't care about dying a little more, if they can find good things, with him and Xiaoxiao's super backpack plus the carrying capacity of the package trap, even if it hangs, it can be earned back.
People die for money, birds die for food, and a cadre of people secretly notified by Wutong are all tempted by Wutong's plan, not to mention anything else, if they steal a batch of military supplies and equipment, they will get rich!
So, in full view of everyone, a team of "skeleton patrol squads" with very strange behavior walked with neat steps, moving a distance at a fast speed for a while, and rubbing on the spot for a while, very cleverly avoiding a group of patrol squads, as much as possible not to intersect or collide with them, and even avoid passing by each other, taking advantage of the gap difference, getting closer and closer to the towering logistics warehouse.
"Slow down!"
"Another team is coming 300 meters ahead!"
"Turn left and go 20 meters!"
"Good! Walk where you are! ”
"Go backwards in unison!"
They looked like they were moving forward, striding forward, but the whole team was very strangely backwards, quickly distancing themselves from an oncoming patrol team, all thanks to Paladin's "spy satellite" to show them the way.
However, on the second layer of the city wall, there was a sudden crisp "Boom!" A metal long arrow shot out abruptly, and the blood eagle hovering in the air let out a miserable roar, and was shot through by the metal long arrow, and fell headlong!! ()
