Chapter 122, Fortress of the North Wind
Entering the fortress, you will see a winding gravel road, lined with low-slung houses, all made of earth and stone, no more than two stories high, some of which are even badly damaged. It feels as if the place has just been ransacked. It was like those wounded soldiers on the street, all of them looking wilted and wailing, just like their parents had died.
As a private interview with the microserver, Lord Qincha, when he meets NPCs on the road, Lu Yun will also pay attention to the "people's livelihood" and ask about the Snow Ice Palace. However, people talk about the tiger's color change and are reluctant to say more. Occasionally, one or two people answered, which was similar to what Feng Qingyang said, and had no practical value.
Passing by a tavern, he stopped by to inquire about it. There are a lot of bounty quests here, all of which are junk quests to kill such and such a monster or retrieve something from the monster, and there is no valuable news.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?" Lu Yun smiled self-deprecatingly, and decided to go to the barracks to sign up for the army, only by going deep into the barracks can he dig out the deepest secrets.
The barracks were located in the western part of the fortress and were built against the backdrop of a mountain. Outside the camp gate, there were two guards standing with tigers on their backs, and after seeing Lu Yun, they let him in without too much questioning.
He went to the recruit office, went through a series of formalities, obtained a soldier nameplate, and officially became a member of the North Wind Guard. Then he was taken to the camp tent of the handsome general and met with the supreme general of the North Wind Guard, Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was a man in the prime of life who looked to be in his thirties, tall and large, wearing a set of silver lionheart armor, and he was heroic. Standing in front of the handsome case, his cold gaze swept over the recruits, he slowly raised his hand, pointed at Lu Yun and said, "This person, so thin, who let him join?" Damn, we're not in Silvermoon City here, we can accept anyone! ”
In fact, Lu Yun is more than one meter seven meters tall and looks sturdy. It's just that these NPCs around him are all 1.8 or 9 meters, and they look like tigers. Compared to these people, he naturally looks thin.
"Damn, try to lame as much as you can now, and I'll clean you up later!" With a long breath, Lu Yun endured this breath and glanced at Chen Yu: "General, now, the North Wind Fortress is facing the threat of the Snow Ice Palace. As long as there are people who are powerful and willing to serve the country, the generals should stay, right? ”
"Strength?" Chen Yu bit these two words for a while, held his head high and sneered: "Do you have this strength?" He pointed to a recruit beside Lu Yun: "You, go and have a fight with him, let me see his strength." ”
After receiving the order, the tall recruit grinned, raised his sword and pointed at Lu Yun: "Boy, you better go home and farm, don't be embarrassed here." At the same time, he sent Lu Yun an application for discussion.
Lu Yun glanced at the information of this recruit, level 40, holding a sword in one hand, and being an NPC of the swordsman profession. With a second left in the countdown, he proudly looked up and drew his sword. At the end of the countdown, the other figure flickered, cut to the side of the recruit, and the blood-drinking sword brought up the Youlan sword qi, and slashed through the armor on the person's body with a click, bringing up a "1023" damage value.
"Damn little monkey!" The recruit was injured, his eyes were red, he turned around and slashed with a sword, and Sen Han's sword blade, with the power of the falling moon, pressed towards Lu Yun's face.
With a sudden, Lu Yun deftly took a step back, waited for the recruit's move to use the old, rebounded and stepped forward, and shot out in ecstasy, the dense sword light hit the recruit, the bright red blood splashed, and the recruit's blood volume was instantly drained.
"Wow!"
Inside the tent, the sergeants watching the battle let out an uproar, and some began to whisper.
"This person's swordsmanship is exquisite, if he joins us, he will have a greater hope of defeating the Ice and Snow Legion."
"We're here, I'm afraid only Vice Admiral Tie can fight him!"
"General Chen shouldn't judge people by their appearance! If it was an iron lieutenant general, he would definitely not refuse this person! ”
Hearing the NPCs' discussions, Lu Yun smirked proudly and looked at Chen Yu proudly. At this time, this guy's tense face turned the color of pig liver, his brows kept jumping a few times, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Shut up for me!" When the words fell, the sergeants bowed their heads one by one and stood silently, not daring to talk in private.
Lu Yun asked with a mocking smile: "General, I wonder if you are qualified to join the North Wind Guard?" ”
"Humph!" Chen Yu shook his hand heavily, "Take him to Bing Lan, and from now on, let him obey Bing Lan's dispatch." ”
The first time they met, the main general Chen Yu left a very bad impression on Lu Yun. This guy is arrogant and arrogant, judging people by his appearance, and he has no temperament as a master at all. In the future, we must investigate him well.
Out of the commander's tent, a captain led Lu Yun to report. On the way, the captain said with a playful smile: "Brother, you are really unlucky, you offended General Chen on the first day." When you get to Binglan, you must be tortured. ”
"That Binglan...... Is there anything special about it? ”
"She's not very good-tempered and very demanding of people. Before, many recruits were sent to her, and Zuihou couldn't stand her torture, so he became a deserter, and the result was ......" Speaking of this, the captain glanced at Lu Yun sympathetically, as if he had already yujian Lu Yun's future, just like those deserters, it was very miserable.
Just as the two were talking, a loud shout came from the front: "Give me a serious look, just like you bears, if you go to the battlefield, can you come back alive?" There was also a crisp sound of "pop, pop" in the voice, as if he was whipping someone.
"Binglan is a woman?"
"But you'd better not think of her as a woman."
After walking some distance, I saw that in front of the camp, more than 20 soldiers were lying on the ground doing push-ups together, and a female general standing next to her, holding a soft whip, was reprimanding and beating the soldiers.
When he arrived here, the captain said goodbye to Lu Yun and left in a hurry, as if he was afraid to see the female general in front of him.
Standing in the distance, Lu Yun carefully observed for a while. The woman looked to be in her twenties, but her actual age was unknown. Wearing a set of silver battle armor, he looks heroic. Although the appearance is good, the strong performance makes people stay away.
Perhaps sensing Lu Yun's gaze, Bing Lan moved her gaze, revealing a trace of contempt in her eyes, raised her hand and pointed at Lu Yun with a leather whip and said, "Who are you?" As she questioned, a soldier paused lazily, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, she picked up her leather whip and slapped it on the man: "Who told you to be lazy?" If you're like a bear, you might as well go home and take the baby! ”
"What a violent queen!" Lu Yun sneered, pretended to cough dryly, walked over and said, "General Chen Yu asked me to report to you." After speaking, his eyes swept over Binglan, and he shook his head lightly and sighed. is also an NPC, compared to Han Xue, this woman is far behind. Thinking of this, he actually missed that arrogant beauty a little.
"You?" Bing Lan's tone was long, her eyes were empty, and she looked at Lu Yun again: "Chen Yong, that bastard, is really getting more and more unreasonable. With your silver-like wax gun head, he dared to put it in? ”
"That only shows that he has more vision than you." Lu Yun responded with a sneer.
"Humph!" Bing Lan sneered, "You're quite confident. I hate men who talk big, though. If you want to stay in my vanguard, you have to prove that you have what it takes. Outside the fortress, there are still a lot of remaining ice and snow soldiers, you go to destroy them and retrieve the ice crystals on their bodies. ”
Call! A piece of mission information flew into Lu Yun's message board.

After Lu Yun took over the task, Bing Lan glanced at him with contempt: "Don't be reluctant, if you can't complete the task...... Get out of here on your own, and don't come back to see me. ”
"Okay!" Lu Yun agreed, "If I complete the task, I still have to think of a reward." ”
"What reward?"
"Spanking you!"
With a "snap", the leather whip in Binglan's hand was thrown out, and Lu Yun flashed over, and the leather whip was heavily whipped on a sergeant. The man raised his head, wept and said, "General, I am innocent. ”
"Shut up!" Enraged, Binglan picked up the whip and whipped the soldier continuously. At this time, Lu Yun had already left the scene with the trial task.
Out of the North Wind Fortress, there are many players crowded on the snow field in front of them, but the soldiers of the Ice and Snow Clan are rare, and almost one of them comes out, and they are swarmed by the players and killed in an instant.
Rejecting the invitations of several teams in a row, Lu Yun headed straight east and entered a cedar forest.
A horse roared, and in the wind and snow, a white-armored knight rode a snow-white war horse, held a spear, and quickly sprinted towards Lu Yun. He stared at the other man, and when he got closer, the moment the spear stabbed out, a fish leaped and rolled, avoiding the spear's edge. The blood-drinking sword in his hand slashed the hind legs of the warhorse. "Poof!" Hot blood spilled in the snow, imprinted with a bright red plum blossom.
The war horse had its leg cut off, hissed, and fell into the snow, with a constant wheezing sound of "snort, snort" from its mouth. The knight rose from the snow and stroked his mount sadly. Suddenly, he struck the snow-white armor with his hand, raised his head to the sky and let out a cry of sorrow, stood up, and pierced the horse's neck with his spear, ending its pain.
"You! Unforgivable! The cavalry spear pointed at Lu Yun, and the blood-stained spear head was dripping with blood. Under the fully covered helmet, a pair of blood-red eyes bloomed with a devouring essence.
Lu Yun sneered, stretched his body, and rushed towards the ice and snow cavalry. The feint attacked, unleashed the cavalryman's thrust, and with a twist of the sword, cut through his body, and then, in a gloomy ecstasy, he directly killed the cavalryman.
The body of the cavalryman fell in the snow, and a cold air collected on his forehead, forming an ice crystal. Reaching out and picking up the ice crystal, he looked at it, and there were many ice and snow cavalry distributed in the snowy night.
There are fewer players here, so it's a great place to do quests!
