Chapter 132: Wolf Castle, Cerberus, Return

Southcona, located in the south-east of the United Kingdom of Krulord, is bordered by the famous Hurricane Wasteland to the south. Thousands of years ago, it was with this barren land of flowing sands, gas vents, and poisonous springs that the ancestors of Beamon and the barbarians finally stopped the pursuit of Erathia's powerful human army, leaving a glimmer of life for the remnants of the Beamon Empire that had fled here.

Since then, Beamon has established a state in Krulrod, and Southcona has become a reliable barrier and frontier for the kingdom to defend against the powerful human enemies of the south. After more than 100 years of unremitting efforts and arduous construction, a huge stronghold fortress finally stood in the center of the saline-alkali land, and it was also the throat of the only road that could be used for the march of the brigade. In honor of the 30,000 wolf cavalry warriors who died in the Battle of Southcona, the largest fortress in Krulord's southern territory was named "Wolfsburg" (Wolfsburg).

However, as the years passed, the military pressure on Krulrod from the human kingdom was no longer as strong as it once was. Especially in the past hundred years, Erathia has not only been unable to launch an effective military attack on Bimon, but in turn, Krulrod's small army has often taken the initiative to attack through the hurricane wasteland to launch small-scale harassment and raiding against the southwestern counties of mankind, and most of the results have been considerable. Over time, an increasingly optimistic mood began to spread within the Krulord military. Even in the past decade or so, quite a number of high-level officials in Bhamon have put forward an argument called "quick victory," which has become more and more popular.

The core idea of the so-called quick victory theory is that at this stage, the military strength of the Beamon Kingdom has greatly surpassed that of the aging human kingdom. With the determination to move the war out of Wolfsburg, it would take about three months to crush the resistance of the three southwestern counties of Erathia; It will not take half a year to occupy at least half of the land of mankind; In the end, within a year, completely wipe out the human aristocratic military group led by the Griffin family, take the entire territory of Erathia, and completely take back the continent supreme throne that originally belonged to Bimon.

And such a trend of thought with a clear tendency to attack is also very popular among a large number of young Beamon officers. Some arrogant people have even shortened the time limit for the theory of quick victory again, directly claiming that the "territorial dispute" issue, which has been delayed for thousands of years, can be resolved within 10 months or even 30 years. It's really...

"Idiots! Hopeless fools! Even if they are all thrown into the storm sea to feed the fish, it is no longer a pity. Catherine half-leaned on the back of Cerberus, her legs curled up, her hands fiddling with the thick, thick hairs of her mount, and muttered to herself with disdain.

"Yes, master, you are absolutely right." The orc ochre heard the werewolf's voice and hurriedly responded.

"Hmph, what do you know!" Catherine glanced at her followers and snorted coldly.

"Whew!"

And it seemed to feel the unhappiness of the female werewolf on her back, and the huge demon pet suddenly roared. There seemed to be rolling thunder in the low roar, and even the wolves of the ten pairs of wolf cavalry accompanying the escort around them couldn't help but show a little uneasy expression after hearing such a low roar.

"Don't be noisy." Hearing the sound of the demon pet, Catherine directly stretched out her foot and kicked the back of Cerberus's thick head, and the roar was immediately swallowed.

"The hostess is amazing!" Seeing the werewolf casually subduing Cerberus, Ochre couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart.

You know, this Cerberus is a terrifying otherworldly monster that has been sealed by the temple for I don't know how many years!

According to the records of the ancient documents of the temple, four hundred and eighty years ago, in order to capture this three-headed hellhound that inexplicably crossed the spatial barrier and suddenly broke into the hinterland of Krurod to do evil, a total of more than 100 people, including two radiant shamans, a great scepter shaman, thirteen barbarian berserkers, and one and a half squadron of big-eared warriors, were sacrificed to barely seal this terrifying mutant demon whose strength comparable to a giant dragon was sealed in the temple of a remote temple of the god of war, and the price was very staggering. Since then, every thirty years, the temple has sent one of the most promising young shamans of a generation to the remote temple in an attempt to summon the three-headed dog of hell as a magical pet. Unfortunately, there have been many attempts over the centuries but none of them have succeeded. …,

But what is extremely surprising is that just half a year ago, Catherine succeeded in awakening this demon that had been sleeping for a long time. After a series of unknown trials and negotiations, the Three-Headed Dog of Hell miraculously responded to the werewolf's call and officially became her only pet, taking the name Cerberus.

Although, after a long period of sleep, Cerberus's strength level has regressed significantly, and it is far from being comparable to the peak state of the year. At the same time, the left and right two of the original three Cerberus heads have shrunk into small lumps. But it would be a mistake to underestimate the terrifying combat power of this awakened demon. At least, Ochre had seen Cerberus tear three mid-human warriors to pieces with ease and care, and then arrogantly single out only the heart of his prey and make a small tooth sacrifice.

In addition, this three-headed dog of hell has an extremely irritable personality, and almost all six relatives except Catherine do not recognize it, so Ochre has developed a lot of fear of it since he first saw it. Even when a female werewolf rides on a demon pet, the orcs usually don't dare to approach it lightly.

"Hurry up and get to Wolfsburg by noon." Glancing at the orcs who were following her a few meters away, Catherine couldn't find any interest in discussing the problem with her, so she urged.

"Yes, master."

Ochre's mount was a sturdy war goat, with a pair of large erect horns that resembled a half-orc's sheep's cap. Although the goat's short-distance sprint ability is far less than that of the wolf, its endurance is not bad, and it is quite suitable for traveling in the mountains. Hearing the order of the female werewolf, the orcs immediately shouted and sped up, while the other twenty wolf riders immediately followed quickly.

About a moment before noon, after several hours of rapid marching, the majestic figure of Wolfsburg finally appeared in front of Catherine and her party.

Unlike human castles such as Windsor Castle or Fort Ford, Wolfsburg is not an all-stone structure, but half wood and half stone. Moreover, the stone used by Beamon in the construction of Wolfsburg was not a regular square block of rock, but was piled up with a large number of loose stone flakes of different sizes and shapes. This is mainly due to the fact that Kruloti is located in the Northwest Wasteland, and does not have the financial resources and resources to build a castle made of stone like the human kingdom.

However, it would be a mistake to underestimate the defensive capabilities of Beamon Fortress because of this.

Thanks to the specially formulated binder joints, Bimon's craftsmen are able to put together scattered stones that are stronger than a whole boulder; Wood branches that have been soaked in the Saline Pond of Southcona for three years will not only become as hard and heavy as pig iron, but also add strong flame retardant properties, which will directly become the best material for the construction of military fortifications. So, with less than a quarter of the cost of building Fort Ford, Krulord managed to build the huge and fortified Wolfsburg.

After completion, the exterior wall of Wolfsburg is about ten meters high, square in shape, and has a radius of about two kilometers. Two huge arrow towers were erected on either side of the city gates. Each massive tower can hold at least twenty orcs inside, and throw throwing axes from the half-open windows of the towers. Surrounded by a large open-air salt pool, Wolfsburg's perimeter is led into a two-metre-wide white salty river. Stakes with sharpened heads were fixed to the bottom of the Salt River like daggers. If someone is unfortunate enough to fall into it, even if they are not stabbed by the stake, they will probably be burned half to death by the high concentration of alkaline river water.

In the first few years of Wolfsburg's existence, the kingdom of Erathia, which was still powerful at the time, sent troops several times to remove the large nail that had crossed the choke point of the march into Krulrod. However, after actual battle attempts, whether it was a frontal assault, or arson and smoke, or even the use of catapults and rams, they could not break through the strong walls of Wolfsburg. In the end, he had to retire from the army, and no similar attempt was made again. …,

When Catherine's party finally arrived at the gates of Wolfsburg, the huge Cerberus Demon immediately caused a strong nervousness among the barbarian warriors guarding the gates. Even at the call of an unbearable exclamation, a large number of orc grenadiers appeared in the two arrow towers, and a sharp axe was already aimed at the terrifying demon pet in front of the fort.

"Don't be noisy!" Patting Cerberus, who felt the hostility coming from above her head and began to grow irritable, the werewolf slowly stood up on the back of the demon pet and raised the golden wolf-headed scepter in her hand at the same time.

"Ah, it's Miss Catherine!" Seeing the scepter reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight, the officers of the city gate who hurried to the city gate immediately recognized the identity of the visitor, immediately repelled the barbarian soldiers who were still on full guard and the grenadiers in the arrow tower, and then quickly walked to the werewolf and bowed deeply: "Welcome back, Lord Catherine." ”

"Well, it's Fei Gou." Catherine sat back on Cerberus, glanced at the officer, and nodded faintly: "Is my father in the 'wolf's den'?" ”
