Vika is a small town built on a hill. It doesn't look big, but it's extremely busy. And a lot of trade markets were built around the city. Make it seem extraordinarily prosperous. But what caught Vic's attention was not the prosperity. It's a fortified fortress that every newcomer to Vic can see at a glance.

The fortress was on the hillwall behind Vic, with only a corner exposed. But the color of steel is revealed. The most shocking thing is that there is a huge crater on the side wall of this fortress, which looks like it should have been caused by the bombardment of super-caliber cannons in the old era, and half of the mountain wall was collapsed by this crater, but the main body of the fortress was completely unharmed. It shows how strong this fortress is.

In fact, this fort was also very famous in old times. It is a military fortress called K7. Ben was built in response to a possible nuclear war. But the tragic thing is that before it could complete the nuclear war, it broke out. The dilapidated K7 can only be reduced to a third-rate refuge.

However, after entering the New Age, Lord Kester took over the area. With a staggering amount of money, it has been renovated. and eventually became his place of residence.

It was late afternoon when the brigade entered the town of Vik. It's extremely busy. Looking at the past, there was a jam of vehicles everywhere at the city gates. Many of the people who looked like brigade leaders were talking to the guards guarding the gate. But the guards ignored them. It wasn't until the brigade leaders took out something and put it in the hands of the guards that they were released. Looking at the sad faces of these brigade leaders, Blood Pupil said to Lance. "A friend once told me that she wanted to send her brother to Karster because it was like heaven. But now it doesn't seem realistic. Nowhere is paradise. ”

"That's a bit extreme." Because of the contact with the blood pupil for a while, Lance has already figured out the temper of the blood pupil. It's not as restrained as it used to be. "Whether it's heaven or not depends on how they live. Although the leaders of these brigades were to be extorted by the guards. But being in Vika is a bliss. Here they will find uncontaminated water and food, which is barely visible from the outside. Vika attracts thousands of people to trade here every day. They can also use these sources to create wealth. Isn't that what they want? ”

Blood Pupil said after a moment of silence. "Maybe you're right. But you tell me, what would you do if your men were the same as these guards? ”

"I'm going to hang them all. It's still the most cruel kind. Lance replied without hesitation. Then he said to one of his men. "Go, tell them to move the barricades for me. Damn, I don't have time to play a bribery game with them. You tell them that if they don't get out of the way for me right away, I'll complain to Lord Koster about them. Let their beautiful lives be a thing of the past. ”

"Yes!" The subordinate replied respectfully. Then he immediately ran over and yelled at the guards.

It is also strange to say, the guards who were still snorting at the ordinary brigade leader just now were extremely cautious when they saw Lance's men, first carefully checking the other party's brigade badge, and then obediently accepted the other party's reprimand. Then he moved the barricade with a lot of pee, and looked even more well-behaved than Lance's men. This made the blood pupil look sideways.

"Looks like you're doing a good job here."

"Of course, Lao Tzu is one of the few merchants in Vika City who can directly meet Lord Koster without notice. These guys are naturally afraid of me, otherwise if I crook my mouth a little, they would probably have to go to the sewer to sweep the garbage. That kind of work is enough to make them thin in a month. Lance replied triumphantly. Feeling good again, he glanced at the blood pupil. "The benefits of this kind of power are not bad. It is said that in a certain country in the old times it was even more exaggerated than that. What is what the officials there say to the civilian population. Civilians have to listen honestly. Because they may be retaliated against by officials even if they say even one wrong word, have you ever heard of crossing provinces? I never understood the meaning of the word. What is Province? ”

"Maybe it's some kind of food." Blood Pupil replied as a matter of course.

"Okay. You're right. Although I don't think it should be easy. Okay, those damn guys finally know how to move the barricades. Let's go inside. ”

"Okay."

Under the astonished gaze of many brigade convoys, the Reims brigade swaggered through the crowd and passed the checkpoint first. Several brigade leaders were immediately extremely dissatisfied, and wanted to ask the guards they had just bribed for an explanation, but they never thought that the guards looked at them with extremely disdainful eyes. Said sarcastically. ,

"You mean Lord Lance's brigade?? Che, do you know who Lord Dowlans is? He is the leader of the largest brigade in the area, bringing unimaginable and precious goods to Vika City every year. And he is also a close friend of Master Koster. Just because you want to compare with him? Do you want to find death? Damn bastard, get me two more Jinvic, or you don't want to walk through this doorway today!! ”

The leader of the brigade suddenly resigned, and was reluctantly blackmailed again. But they all remembered the name of the Reims Brigade in their hearts. And vowed to one day become a big brigade like the Reims Brigade. You can swagger into any big city and be received by the lord.

Of course, Blood Pupil and Lance didn't know what was going on behind Lu Dao. At this moment they were already walking on the avenues of Vika City, and behind them were several brigade guards armed with rifles. Originally, it was not allowed to carry weapons on the streets in Vika, but Lance, who had a special status, was obviously not in this case. In a hurry to report to the lord and find out, Lance handed over everything about the brigade transaction to his deputy. He hurried to the lord's mansion with his blood pupils.

The so-called lord's mansion is actually a fortress in the mountain wall. Lord Koster renovated it and lived there. It's just because of technical limitations and funding issues. The part he repaired was only one-fifth of the fort. Most areas are not yet available. But even so, the fort is still one of the most fortified dwellings in the last days. It is estimated that another nuclear bomb will fall on its head.

There is only one road leading to the fortress in Vika City. This is the path that Blood Pupil and the others walked.

After only a few minutes of walking, the gates of the fortress appeared before their eyes. But they couldn't go any further. Several of the lord's guards stopped them.

"Stop, you are not allowed to go any further. In front is the lord's residence. Show your documents or confirm your lord's invitation, otherwise it will be regarded as an invasion of private territory, and we have the right to shoot you. ”

The blood pupil's eyes froze, and he glanced coldly at the guards who suddenly appeared.

They were noticeably more capable than the guards at the town gates. Not only is the physique stronger, but also more disciplined. A few people seemed to be in front of them at random, but they occupied the best shooting angle without a trace. Apparently well trained. The guards were also extremely well-equipped, each wearing a ceramic combat suit that only high-level hunters could equip themselves, and the assault rifles in their hands were also of the highest quality. You can feel their powerful combat power at a glance.

Perhaps because the Blood Pupil's gaze was too aggressive, these guards immediately noticed the Blood Pupil's unkindness, and they all showed surprised eyes. Immediately adjusted his position, and surrounded the blood pupil in the middle without revealing a trace. The rifle in his hand was aimed at the vital point of the blood pupil.

"Stop!" Lance immediately let out a loud shout. Then he glanced at the guards with dissatisfaction. "Hang down your guns, or I won't be able to guarantee your safety. A bunch of idiots, it's strange how Master Koster chose you to be your guards, you don't even have the slightest self-knowledge. Do you want to bring a troublesome enough enemy to your lordship? ”

"Who are you?" The guards didn't immediately drop their guns, but their tones softened. They all knew that the person who could talk to them like this must be unusual, so they didn't turn their faces immediately.

Lance gave them a disdainful look, and said as he tossed a badge over his hand. "New here, huh? Otherwise, how could I not even know me? ”

The badge shone brilliantly in the sunlight, and the faces of several guards suddenly changed. They quickly lowered their guns, and then saluted Lance. "I'm sorry Lord Lance, we are indeed new here, I don't know if it is you."

"." Lance waved his hand impatiently. "I'm going to meet Master Koster right now. You can help me inform me right away. ”

"Yes!!" The guard replied loudly. Then he secretly glanced at the blood pupil again. "This ......"

"You don't have to worry about it. I know that you are responsible for the safety of your lordship, but with my authority, you can still bring people in. You can't be wrong with that. If you have any questions, you can also ask your lord. ”

"Understood." The guards immediately stopped arguing. Hurriedly ran to the watchtower not far away. After a while, he quickly ran back and saluted Lance respectfully.

"Your lord, please come in, well, and your companions."

"Hmm." Lance nodded in satisfaction. Then he said to the blood pupil. "These newcomers don't know the rules, don't mind."

"Don't worry, I'm not that stingy." Blood Pupil replied with a smile.

The group walked along the path towards the fort and soon entered the interior of the fort. Speaking of which, this fortress is a product of the old era, and even if it has been converted into a lord's mansion, it still retains the true character of a military base. Both sides of the passage are made of solid concrete pouring. Occasionally, concealed shooting holes can be seen. On either side of the zenith of the passage there are two slides on which several automatic machine guns are hung.

I'm finally going to see ............ The blood pupil looked silently at the heavily defended castle. The heart is stirring and fluctuating.

Myself...... Is it really possible to find Lil's whereabouts here?
