Chapter 24: The Fortress of Alan (Part II)

The Alan Fortress is located more than 300 miles south of the Crane Castle, which is different from the Crane Fortress located in the mountains, and stands on the Alain Plain, guarding the stability of the entire plain. The Alan Plain, on the other hand, is a well-known granary of the empire, supplying the logistics of most of the northern battlefields, and has been the main contention between the two sides for decades. The defender Laval is a well-known meritorious commander of the empire, who has defended the fortress for more than ten years, and has never let the alliance cross the thunder pool by half a step.

"It stands to reason that Laval is the uncle of Bol Chief, how could he not listen to his advice." Quirrell wondered.

Kara is worthy of being in charge of intelligence, and the core useful information may be far from him, but he has long been familiar with this kind of gossip, and said proudly: "You don't understand this, the Boer Chief family is a prestigious family in the entire imperial capital, and there are many branches of the main family, and it is common for the family to compete for power and profit." Laval and Bol are not part of the same family, so they are naturally wary of not believing him. ”

Andrew said disdainfully: "That's why I hate these nobles the most, my father's brothers and sisters are really close... Well, it doesn't seem appropriate to say that you are like a family? Seeing Quirrell winking at him, he hurriedly changed his words: "But the nobles around us are all good guys, this is the real family hahaha." ”

Mihawk said angrily: "Do you need it, this is still a round fart, aren't you tired?" Everyone laughed in unison, showing intimacy.

During the conversation, we had reached the foot of the fortress of Alain, an important battleground, with its low walls, which were less than ten meters from the castle, with its dilapidated fortifications and lazy defenders. The walls of the Alan Fortress are more than 20 meters high, and the huge bricks are stacked on top of each other, and the entire fortress is equipped with a moat that flows through the gate, and it is located on a vast plain, giving people a visual shock that is truly extraordinary. Coupled with the long queue of people entering the city, it is obvious that everyone who enters the city needs to verify their integrity and do not allow sand.

Carla grinned and handed over the documents that Pol had given to the four of them to enter the city, showing that the four had arrived on official business, and the defenders finally let the four into the city after strictly checking the names and years of the troops and the names of the commanders.

Kara let out a deep breath and said: "This fucking entry into a city is simply going to take eighteen generations of Lao Tzu's ancestors." ”

Quirrell smiled: "After all, it is the most important stronghold on the entire northern front, and it is normal to be strict. But it's really big. ”

Only then did everyone look up, and sure enough, it was not a small border land like Fort Cran, in addition to the military camp that occupied the entire western half of the city, there were two horizontal, two vertical and four main streets, among which there were countless alleys and forks, and various buildings such as houses, tea shops, and restaurants were interspersed with them, without the dilapidated depression that should be in the war, and the end was very lively.

It's just that this is embarrassing for the four of them, Andrew said: "How the hell do you start, if Victor the Big Bear really comes, we will also be looking for needles in the bottom of the sea." ”

Quirrell also had a headache and said, "The only way to do this is to find a place to settle down first, and then think about it in the long run." ”

Mihawk pondered: "If they are really here, Victor is from an aristocratic background, and the requirements for environment and comfort must be extremely high, so why don't we find the largest inn in the city to see our luck." ”

Carla excitedly said: "Mihawk has won my heart, there is a good chance that they are there, and we are also public funds anyway." With that, he strode up to the passer-by and asked where the largest inn was. The three of them shook their heads helplessly, obviously Kara's focus was more on the word public money.

Kara beckoned to the three of them: "The largest restaurant in the city is called Alain's Restaurant, which is opened and managed by Laval himself. The inside is extremely luxurious, both the wine and the environment can be called a border must, and Governor Pol sent someone here to buy wine a few days ago. It is usually open to receive guests, and if there are important people coming, the building will be closed to entertain VIPs. There are also casino brothels in the backyard, which are the best in the city in terms of size and quality, and a large amount of real money flows into Laval's pocket every day. ”

Quirrell laughed, "Then what are you waiting for, lead the way." ”

Alan Restaurant is worthy of being the largest place in the fortress and used to entertain VIPs, although it is in the border war-like place, but the luxury is very high, the front yard of the restaurant is a normal place to rest and eat, it has been as high as three floors, at this time from the door to see that it is full, behind it is a brothel and a casino.

"Four masters, dare to ask whether to gamble or eat first?" The sharp-eyed shopkeeper found the four of them, grinned and greeted them.

"Let's eat first, find a good spot, and then introduce us to what you guys have to do here." Kara casually threw a few copper plates, looking like an upstart. When Xiao Er saw the money, his mouth opened even more, and beckoned the four of them to walk towards the third floor.

"I don't know if the young master is here for fun or on business?"

"What can you do with this border fortress?"

"These masters don't know that although we are located on the frontier, the climate is pleasant, and the guards are here, so we have already made this a well-known place, and we have everything to eat, drink and have fun. People from several nearby war zones are here to have fun. ”

"Wouldn't the people from the Alliance come here to play too?"

"Where does the uncle say, let's go in and out of the city strictly, and anyone can come in." Xiao Er said seriously, and after a while, he whispered as if he couldn't help it: "But there are also alliance nobles who have a way, and they secretly come here to play tricks." Don't talk nonsense. ”

The conversation room had reached the third floor, and the four of them sat at the few remaining tables, and Kara said: "Gossip aside, your most famous sauce beef, roast chicken, and roast fish are all brought up to the master, and the special brewed wine will also give us three catties." ”

Quirrell interrupted, "Give us the best food, don't want the wine, go ahead, have your benefit." Sending Xiao Er away, he looked at Carla and said, "You are getting carried away, don't forget that we have something to do, and no one is allowed to drink." ”

Kara said in a low voice: "If you want a catty, Boss Polgen sells the wine here to drink, and it is said that the fragrance is not good." ”

Mihawk smiled: "When we are done with business, we will have a chance to relax." His eyes swept over the nearly thirty tables on the entire floor and said, "Can you find a big bear?" ”

Quirrell laughed and said, "How can I have such a good life, I am ready to squat at the gate of the city to guard his mother for three days and three nights." ”

Andrew rubbed his head and said, "I'm not good at finding people, and I've never seen any of these people." It's good for you to look for it, but Big Bear must let me have a few hands with him. "Andrew has always wanted to meet this guy who is stronger than himself.

Quirrell asked Kara, "Tell me who else Victor is with besides Big Bear, you must have done your homework." ”

Carla said triumphantly: "That's natural, Victor himself is in his twenties, facing Mihawk, a white and tender nobleman with long blond hair. Big Bear is the commander of his third division, his original name is Bell, Mihawk knows him best, and his height is his biggest business card. In addition, there was the commander of the second division, the lone wolf wolf, who we didn't meet last time, I asked the people of the original eighth squad, this person is of medium build, not very old, looks okay, short black hair, relatively not easy to recognize. There is also the commander of the first division, the giant elephant Elefen, this person is much older than the other three, nearly fifty, and his behavior is extremely steady, responsible for logistics and the guard of the Chinese army, and he will most likely not participate in such a thing as going behind enemy lines. So we're looking out for a blonde, waist-length sissy aristocrat, a stupid and stupid big guy, and a handsome young man with little black hair. ”

Mihawk questioned, "Are you sure you're not talking about the three of us?" Except that my hair is not long enough and I am full of manliness. ”

The other two laughed, but they also found that the problem that no one else had seen each other except Mihawk and Big Bear was really serious.
