"Well, it's a very beautiful ornament that women can't put down and men are fascinated by it......" Gordon briefly gave Renus, who barely knew how to dress, popularized, "but I don't have time right now." When I understand that thing, it will set off a costume revolution throughout Telos. ”

"If you're going to make me wear a short skirt...... I only wear ...... in front of you"

"Okay." Gordon was just chatting with Renus, and he didn't really want to put it into action, so he casually agreed. It may be more difficult to convince the paladin to wear a short skirt than to help her kill Emperor Northumbard.

Gordon began to rest in the afternoon, and in the early hours of the morning, he slept for ten hours before waking up.

He slept extremely comfortably this night, and since he left Bishui City, he had never woken up so energetically.

"It's strange, when I traveled in the dungeon before, I also slept in this kind of Leomon shelter every day, why did I feel the best this time?" Gordon looked at Renus, who was sleeping soundly on his arm, and said secretly, "Is it because there is a relationship with a woman around you?" ”

If you think about it, it seems that this is really the case. Ever since Shellaya left, he had slept alone every night, and he was a little unaccustomed to it. Now that there is a girl around me, I can fall asleep with the warm body of nephrite jade, which is really more comfortable. Thinking about it, there doesn't seem to be such a problem when I am single, is this the so-called "from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift"?

Gordon looked at the girl's slightly pursed, tender and moist lips, and couldn't help but poke his head over and peck lightly.

This action also woke Renus up.

She looked at the man's close face, and the residual feeling on her lips, and felt a little embarrassed. Always fall asleep alone and wake up alone. This time, there was an extra man by her side, and Renus felt a little unaccustomed.

Gordon didn't "embarras" her anymore, let go of the hand that was holding his shoulder, and sat up: "It's time to come out." ”

Renus nodded, then silently put on her clothes, and with Gordon's help, put on the armor one by one. She glanced at the mage, and now after all this time together, Gordon's face had become clearer and more vivid in her memory. It seems that I will never forget it again.

"I will stay in Porto Dolong until the end of the year, and you can come to me if you want."

"When the orc's troubles are solved, and I get the fief, I may come to the south."

Left the cabin. Gordon said goodbye with another shallow kiss, and the two parted in the night. Renus is going to have a relationship with Jude. Frey and Antonov converge. Return to Clear Water City. And he. then join Rob. The troops of Grand Duke Antelo retreated towards High Rock Castle.

The team included the remnants of the defenders of the Fortress of Savatore, the cavalry of the Wintertalon Legion, and most of the reinforcements brought by the Grand Duke of Antelo, but the four golden dragons did not follow, and it was not known whether they were sleeping leisurely or had another mission.

"Your Excellency Baron Freeman!"

Gordon rode slowly in the middle of the procession. He was boredly recalling the contents of various spell books, hoping to learn more about the past and improve his understanding of the arcane. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

Turn your head and look. It turned out to be the commander of the Fortress of Sevato, Chuck. McDougall Platinum Centurion.

Gordon's mount slowed down so that the other party could catch up. After a while, the two were riding side by side.

"Have you ever been to High Rock, Lord Baron Freeman?" Chuck asked.

"Nope." Gordon shook his head, "I used to live with my parents in the castle of my own fiefdom outside the Great Wall of Anduin, but after the orc invasion, I moved to Blue Water City. ”

"So you're a descendant of a pioneer nobleman...... Chuck snapped. However, he didn't ask any more questions, because after the orc invasion, the group of pioneer nobles whose fiefdoms were in the tundra did not end well. The centurion didn't want to touch the taboo in Gordon's heart.

The centurion changed the subject: "Since you haven't been to High Rock Castle, maybe I can be your guide." My home is in High Rock City, and if I am familiar with this city, I am afraid that among the soldiers in the entire Far Frost Province, there are few who can compare to me. ”

This goes to High Rock, although Rob. Antello had already arranged a residence for him, in the fortress in the city, but Gordon could not stay in the residence all the time, waiting for the orc soldiers to arrive in the city. He needs to be ready for the big battle to come. Purchase spell casting materials, copy magic scrolls, prepare various magic potions, repair the Black Titan, and dissociate to refill the depleted activation shield......

There are so many things that he needs to solve that it can save a lot of time if there is a local to help.

"Then there will be labor, Centurion Chuck."

"No, you don't." Chuck politely replied, "It's an honor to be able to serve a powerful mage. ”

On the way, the centurion was very attentive to Gordon to introduce the customs and geographical features of High Rock City. Because he was a soldier, his phrasing, although not as beautiful and engaging as a bard, was concise, direct, and coherent, allowing Gordon to grasp a lot of information.

During the march, from time to time, soldiers who had been withdrawn from the north joined the ranks. In addition to the fortress of Sawato, the other four fortresses scattered on the Great Wall of Anduin also made a major retreat.

One point is lost, and the whole line collapses. There was no point in continuing to hold on to the Great Wall of Anduin, so in order to concentrate as many forces as possible against the orc army, the Grand Duke and the generals had to do so.

As more and more people joined the team, all sorts of rumors grew.

The orc army is as large as one million, and there are also ten legendary powerhouses and hundreds of cyclops......

The warlord who commands the orc army is the sage of the orc god Guush, a powerful group, and the battle axe in his hand is invincible and invincible......

The top of Ferreton has been infiltrated by the cultists, so the enemy knows the movements of his army very well......

That earthquake was moved by the gods to punish the fallen nobles of the upper echelons of the empire, and this war was the will of the gods......

Under the crisis, because of fear and anxiety, people's negative feelings in their hearts are accumulating more and more, coupled with various rumors, the morale of the entire team is extremely low. This is not a good situation, with such military morale, it is impossible to defeat the orcs.

Even Gordon, because of the influence of this environment, was clouded in his heart. It wasn't until he arrived at High Rock City and saw the magnificent scenery of this Far Frost Provincial Capital that his mood was a little more relaxed.

Unlike commercial cities like Blue Water City, the existence of High Rock City is entirely due to military use. It was the center of the Empire's northern defenses, not only responsible for defending against the Tundra Orcs, but also a base for the Empire's expeditions to the Barbarian Tribes of the Northwest in the early years. However, thanks to the efforts of the Grand Duke of Antelo, and with the signing of an understanding and peace agreement between Ferreton and the Orlandos tribes, the battle city existed purely for the defense of the orcs.

The city is named "High Rock" because the grand fortress called "Red Rock" in the center of the city was carved by Ferreton stonemasons and builders from a huge rock more than 100 meters high and covering an area of 4 square kilometers.

Folklore has it that this abrupt red boulder standing abruptly on the northern plains is actually a product of the sky. It was the first era when the gods fought against the old rulers, and the divine realm collapsed, and then it fell to the main material realm.

However, Gordon activated the flying technique stored in the Eagle Feather Boots and denied the legend after taking a bird's-eye view of the entire High Rock Castle. Because if the red boulder really was a meteorite that fell from the sky, then with such a huge mass, why didn't it leave a crater on the ground?

But while the legend is not credible, it doesn't detract from the city's greatness.

Before the establishment of the Great Wall of Anduin, High Rock Castle resisted the invasion of the tundra orc army five times in the Fourth Age o98, 132, 134, 177, and 186, winning a valuable strategic recuperation period for the newly founded Ferreton Platinum Empire.

Later, after the completion of the Great Wall of Anduin and the threat of the northern orcs almost disappeared, the city experienced more than a dozen barbarian raids, noble rebellions, and royal wars. But since the day it was built, High Rock Castle has always stood on this cold northern land, and it has never been breached.

Coming to the north gate of High Rock Castle, before entering the city, Gordon stopped, looked up at the magnificent and vicissitudes of the city wall in front of him, and savored the charm of history and time.

On the mottled wall above the city gate are carved three lines of words that have been slightly blurred.

"City of Glory."

"City of Heroes."

"City of Blood."

"Glory and heroes are not bad, blood or something, forget it......" Gordon smiled and walked into the city with Centurion Chuck.

The city is divided into three tiers, including the core red boulder fortress, with a total of eight districts. In a war, even if a section of the city wall is breached and one area falls, other areas can continue to hold on. It's a bit like a ship's watertight compartment design. If one compartment is flooded, the other watertight compartments will not be affected, ensuring considerable buoyancy.

Knowing the design philosophy of the entire High Rock City, it is not surprising why the city has never fallen despite all the wars it has endured, large and small.

Because the city was born entirely for war.

The room that Grand Duke Antelo had prepared for Gordon was in the Red Rock Fortress, but Gordon didn't want to move in immediately. He wanted to be able to buy some magic materials first, so that once he was settled, he could get to work immediately. (To be continued......)
