Just as Vitruvius wondered whether they would jump or fly, Buck led Vitruvius into a cavern in a carriage.

Vitruvius drove the carriage into the cave and found a way down.

The road initially looked like an underpass, but after only a short walk, light came in from outside.

Originally, it was a road completely embedded in a stone wall, which means that there was a stone wall above the road, a stone wall on the left, and the ground was also hard stone, and only the right side was a cliff.

The whole downward path is in the shape of a "Z" on this cliff that is thousands of feet long and wide, winding and spiraling down, from one end of the entire Kidner Fortress to the other, and back from the other end, over and over again, and it takes about half a day to walk from the top of the cliff to the bottom of the cliff.

The road they walked on was not very wide, only enough for two carriages to cross in opposite directions, after all, it was a road carved out of the stone wall, and the labor required was extremely large, so it only required basic traffic requirements.

The slope of this downward road is not steep, and the architect must have taken into account the problem of transporting materials upwards when it was built, if the slope is too steep, the carriage will not be able to climb up from below.

Vitruvius drove the carriage and could see the magnificent scenery under the cliff from the right, the sky was high and the clouds were wide, and the eyes were extremely thousand, which could not help but make people feel proud.

Although Vitruvius drove the carriage close to the edge of the cliff, there was no danger in the slightest, because of the thick parapet wall built on the edge of the cliff.

The parapet is about a meter high, but its specifications are the same as those of the walls of the giant city, with archer grooves every one meter and a small platform every ten meters, and on top of the platform is a fierce crossbow for defending the city.

Although these things are the standard configuration of a city wall, but on the long road of the entire cliff, there are all these dense archer grooves and city defender bed crossbows, it is conceivable that the entire length and width are thousands of zhang of cliffs, if all of them are full of archers and all the city defender bed crossbows together to draw bows and shoot, no matter how many enemies there are, I am afraid that they will be wiped out under this overwhelming number of arrows.

Take advantage of the terrain of the cliffs to forge a permanent fortress, but this is not the most distinctive part of the Kidner Fortress.

The most distinctive place is the water, the water of the Lanning River.

Bang la......

When they first entered this passage, Vitruvius did not feel that as they went down, the roar of the waterfall became louder and louder, and the more deafening it became, like a drum.

The water flow is like a column of water, hanging on the entire cliff, like a huge water curtain.

Under the sun, a seven-colored rainbow rises.

Thousands of cliffs are blue, the water curtain is wonderful, the rainbow light, the scenery is beautiful, the spirit is magnificent, it is really difficult to express.

Vitruvius had just arrived at the Kidner Fortress and he could not understand one thing, that is, the Lanning River, which was the main artery of river transportation, was crossed by iron cables, and no ship could pass through it.

However, now he understands that the Lanning River is a huge waterfall when it reaches this cliff, and if the boats from the human world are driven down the waterfall by the river, they will inevitably break the boat and die, so on the last section of the Lanning River, the iron cable crosses the river and does not allow any ships to pass.

The huge Lanning River water, to the Qianzhang cliff wall did not fall down naturally, but was evenly diverted to the wall buttress of the cliff by the artificially built ditch, every twenty or thirty zhang there is a water column falling from the sky, so that the entire Qianzhang cliff hung this waterfall water curtain.

Witnessing such a spectacle, such a huge project, and such an ingenious design, Vitruvius sighed from the bottom of his heart, but also had great doubts.

"Why do such a big project? Why not let the Lanning River fall naturally from the river, but instead divide it into countless small streams and hang on top of the cliff? ”

Vitruvius was puzzled, so he could only ask Buck, the power king beside him.

Buck laughed, only to hear him say: "Brother Werther thought so much, I Buck was only shocked when I saw this scene, and I never thought about why those architects designed it like this...... However, I have heard people say before that there is a transcendental creature called poison flies in the lizardman legion, which is very poisonous and terrifying, often sticky to death, and the poison flies are extremely fast and fly fast, in the general battle, the overwhelming poisonous flies fly to the rear of the human legion, which will cause great casualties to the archers and rangers of the legion. But this transcendent creature also has a weakness that is not a weakness, that is, its wings are as thin as Chan wings, once wet, the flight speed will be greatly reduced, it is precisely because of this that the human craftsmen spent a great price to divert water and canals, transform the Lanning River Waterfall, and cast the defense mechanism of this waterfall water curtain......"

……

Half a day later.

The troika of Iron Sword Lily had just made way out of the passage, and in the muddy swamp below the cliff, humans had laid a makeshift gravel road, although the carriage walked up, bumping and bumping, making the people sitting on it quite uncomfortable, but this road was at least passable for carriages, and the rest of the place had long been soaked into swamp silt by the water of the Lanning River, and if you fell into it, you would definitely die.

In the swamp, only the lizardmen have their wide flippers and can run in the swamp like flying, while humans must carefully move through the swamp, and if they are not careful, they will fall into the swamp mud and never get up.

People of insight among human beings have long proposed that if human beings want to completely occupy the swamp and defeat the lizard people, it is useless to rely on war alone, and it is necessary to completely transform the swamp, and what is needed is farmers, craftsmen, architects and hydraulics, not just professionals or spellcasters.

In the past ten years, human beings have indeed done this, maybe in another twenty or thirty years, the Great Swamp will be completely transformed, but now the time is still too short, human beings have only built a few roads, built some post stations, and the entire Great Swamp has not really changed.

Although the Human Expeditionary Force has distributed a bunch of Dominion Lord's orders, it is better to let these professionals engage in construction than to let them kill Warcraft and Lizardmen.

Nowadays, even the large mercenary groups that have received the order of the Dominion Lord, none of them have built castles on their own territory, and at most they have established some villages.

……

After a long journey on this bumpy gravel road, the people were hungry.

Everyone found a slightly wider place, parked the troika, and prepared to eat and rest.

Liwang Buck is worthy of being a substitute for the old team, and it can be said that he is familiar with the matter of making a fire and cooking, and the deputy head of Vitruvius has not yet commanded, so he will go to collect dry firewood and set up a fire by himself.

Standing here and looking back at the Kidner Fortress, Vitruvius was finally able to see the full picture of this permanent fortress, which he had always thought was actually just the top of the fortress, and its real fortification was this cliff.

"How spectacular, you know what the lizardmen call Kidner Fortress, they call it the Cliff of Death." Like Vitruvius, Pascal the Wizard looked back at Kidner Fortress with emotion.
