Chapter 101: Willenburg
Second Sergeant Roy led the team to take a shortcut, and under the steep mountain wall was an abyss, walking on the rope bridge connecting the two cliffs, the bridge became swaying from side to side due to the weight, and everyone was pacing slowly in fear.
The stones on the wooden board were kicked down, and she subconsciously glanced down, and then Mu Lan couldn't walk, her fingers trembled slightly, and she always had the urge to jump down, so she couldn't help but clench Lin Yiyi's little hand.
Lin Yiyi saw Mu Lan's pale face, and she didn't joke, but tried her best to take the topic elsewhere, she looked around and sighed: "It's really a husband and a man, as long as a few people are put on one side of the bridge, even if it is an army of 100,000, it can't pass!" ”
"If I had an army of 100,000, I would choose to build a few more bridges elsewhere." Zhao Ziyu complained on the side.
"Hey, why do you always raise the bar with me!" Lin Yiyi resented.
The corners of Mu Lan's mouth raised slightly, and her mood relaxed a little, she couldn't hold back her fear of heights and tried not to look at her feet, grabbed Lin Yiyi and moved forward slowly, and finally reached the end of the rope bridge after about ten minutes.
This rolling mountain is indeed not suitable for marching, at least the barbarian troops of tens of thousands of people can't take the back road, so the side of Weilenburg is always the safest.
It is said that the city began to be built during the time of Claudius the Great, and it took nearly 30 years from design to completion, consuming a large amount of stone and materials, tens of thousands of laborers, and astronomical construction funds exhausted the kingdom's finances.
Wellenburg is a three-dimensional city, leaning on the hillside divided into four levels, the lower the area is larger, to the top of the administrative area has been hundreds of meters high, countless large towers interspersed with it, dozens of meters high city wall will enclose the other side of Wellenburg, the four-story city wall from low to high, showing its proud defensive attributes, the whole black city is like a hideous stone beast obliquely inserted in the mountains.
Lin Yiyi took a deep breath, but she still couldn't help but take out her mobile phone and looked up to take pictures of Willenburg.
A mechanical clatter sounded at the side door of Willenburg, the drawbridge was lowered, and after proving his identity, Roy led the way into the interior of Willenburg.
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, I have already informed General Roland, and he will come to see you soon." A soldier dressed in full-body plate armor said respectfully.
Julian nodded, and suddenly thought of something, he said to Roy and the other seven soldiers: "You guys hurry up and return to the team, after a bloody battle, you need to cultivate well." ”
Roy showed a grateful look, feeling that His Royal Highness the Second Prince was not like the arrogant nobles in the royal capital, but kept a smile on people of his status, and couldn't help but feel a little flattered, made an exaggerated military salute, and then left here with the other six people.
Julian and his team were taken to the official residence in the inner city, along the way, Mu Lan saw the real appearance of the city, the doors of the houses in the residential area were closed, and there were no pedestrians coming and going, only heavily armed soldiers patrolling, most of them looked serious, there were many carriages carrying military supplies, and the city walls were full of crossbow arrows and rolling wood and other equipment to defend the city, the soldiers did not say a word, and the whole city was filled with a sense of tension, looking like a big war was imminent.
There is an oil painting of Claudius the Great hanging in the living room, and the heroic man who is riding a war horse and drawing his sword and pointing forward is the monarch that people revere the most, Mu Lan took a look, Julian's hair color and pupil color are in the same vein, but this young man is softer, with some elegance, and the emperor is much more heroic and domineering.
The servant served everyone black tea, and after respectfully saluting, asked Julian and the guests if they needed to serve and bathe, and Julian waved his hand and said no.
"The evil feudal society." Lin Yiyi muttered, and her eyes slowly left with the beautiful maid, all good-looking people, whether male or female, this Yan Kong would take a look at it several times,
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince!" The door was pushed open, and a deep voice was heard.
Everyone looked at the source of the voice, a man in a military uniform walked quickly, General Roland had two short beards, he was 60 years old, probably perennial training and proper maintenance, not old at all, he looked like a tall middle-aged man, and walked with a tigerish style, after he stood still, he looked at Julian and saluted with some excitement.
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, after knowing what happened to you in the royal capital, I have been sending people to look for you, but there has been no news from you." With a hint of guilt, General Roland looked at Julian's obviously emaciated cheeks, and said, "I heard that you encountered a barbarian army on the road, thank the gods, fortunately you returned safely!" ”
Julian smiled gently, and he pointed out a few rock-solid people to General Roland, "These warriors are all mercenaries I recruited, they are all powerful warriors and mages, and it is thanks to them that I was able to come to Wilenburg safely." ”
General Roland only then noticed that there were six people behind Julian, dressed differently from the mercenaries he had seen, and they were all young, and even one girl looked underage, and couldn't help but wonder, their rescue of the Welenberg scouts had already been reported, except for the man who led him with the aura of a powerful warrior, the rest of the people were nothing special, well, there was a young lady who looked very beautiful, but it didn't help the battle, and it didn't look good and couldn't be eaten......
The more he thought about it, the more strange it became, the strong man in General Roland's heart was still the traditional tall and mighty man with a scarred face, and he really couldn't think about these mercenaries in the direction of the strong.
General Roland's thoughts were only for a moment, he smiled when he turned his mind, thanked several mercenaries who had protected Julian, and then walked up to Julian and whispered: "About the war preparations in Willenburg, and the news from the royal capital......" As he spoke, he glanced at the few people behind him.
"It's okay, it's all my own." Julian said.
General Roland still didn't speak, Mu Lan knew that he would say some confidential things next, and he would definitely be on guard against outsiders, so he said, "Let's retreat first!" ”
Yuri nodded apologetically in agreement, and the six of them exited the living room.
"They should be able to tell you some information about the barbarian army and the changes in the situation from the royal capital, are you sure you want to leave?" In the corridor, Zhao Ziyu said curiously.
"It's okay, we've got high technology." Mu Lan looked at Shi Zhengyang.
Shi Zhengyang explained: "I have a bugging device here, which can be used in this world, and I stuffed it in the table before General Roland arrived. ”
"No wonder you left so decisively." Zhao Ziyu suddenly realized.
