The next morning, Xiao Chen and Viscount Josa stood together in front of Heimu Pass. And the large army led by Shi Hao and Huang Zheng was two kilometers behind them. There was also an assault team composed of high-level masters such as Huang Zheng, Evelyn, Roger, and Zhang Hong, as well as middle-level and above masters selected from the mage class and melee company, and ambushed in the forest only a few hundred meters away from Xiao Chen.

Sure enough, as Huang Zheng said, on both sides of Heimu Pass are high mountains that are difficult for the army to climb, and the steep mountains are quite difficult to climb even for masters, let alone ordinary people. The only valley between the mountains is blocked by a male pass.

As the name suggests, the whole body is made of black rocks, which are a specialty of the nearby mountains, and this kind of stone has a natural texture of wood, and it is very beautiful after being polished and smoothed. Although this rock is relatively rough, it is inherently anti-demonic. Although it can be used to build buildings, it is a very good material for crafting passes.

Heimu Pass was extremely tall, and Xiao Chen looked through the moat from below, feeling like looking up at the roof of a building with more than 20 floors.

Because Suanses was occupied, the atmosphere in Kuroki Pass was very tense, and even on the domestic side, the gates were closed.

Xiao Chen snapped his fingers, and a small red bird appeared out of thin air in his hand, and as soon as he raised his hand, the bird flapped its wings and flew to the top of the level. At the top of the level, the birds violently scattered into countless sparks, forming a line of words hanging in the air: Viscount Josa came to visit Count Olgas and had something important to discuss.

The guards on Kuroki Pass let out a burst of exclamation. After a while, someone from above shouted to the lower level with amplification magic, "Lord Viscount, please wait a moment, let us inform the Count." ”

Xiao Chen said to Viscount Josza: "You can convey our thoughts to the Earl in a while. Pay attention to your own safety and don't force yourself too hard. ”

Viscount Josa said, "It shouldn't be a big problem, after all, our family has been intermarrying with Count Olgas's family. I'm still his cousin. Whatever his attitude, it wasn't enough to jeopardize my safety. ”

Xiao Chen took out an envelope from the traveler's heart. To Viscount Josza, he said, "This letter contains some information that will help you convince Count Olgas. If he hesitates, you can show him the letter. ”

Viscount Josa took the envelope and looked at it, the envelope was made of fine paper peculiar to the Chinese, and it didn't look special, it read: To Count Orgis. He put the letter in his pocket and said, "Don't worry, I know how to judge timing." ”

The trench in front of Kuroki Pass is nearly twenty meters wide, and there is no drawbridge on the gate of the level, because in this world, high-level warriors can break the iron cables on the drawbridge through the trench, so some castles and checkpoints have abandoned that design.

After a while, a gap opened in the gate of the checkpoint, and an iron bridge one meter wide and more than twenty meters long was pushed by a group of soldiers and slowly stretched out of the door, and then it was erected to Xiao Chen's side. A knight-like figure walked over the drawbridge. He looked at the two of them for a moment and said, "Viscount Jossa, Lord Olgas has invited you to meet you at the customs. However, you can only go alone, and the Chinese mage who accompanied you will not be allowed to enter. ”

Viscount Josa said, "I obey the arrangement of His Excellency the Earl, please lead the way." ”

The knight guided Viscount Josa in the direction of the gate, and when he reached the door, a mage appeared and scanned his surroundings with the True Eye to make sure that no invisible enemy was following before letting him in.

When they walked off the bridge, the soldiers pulled it back and closed the door. But just as the door was about to close, a mage's eye released by Xiao Chen burrowed into the crack in the door.

After the mage's eye passed through the gate, it suddenly became clear to him, behind the tall gate was a busy town built on the mountain, because the open space in the gate was limited, and many houses were built along the mountains on both sides, and the difference between the lowest point and the highest point of the town was at least twenty or thirty meters. Most of the houses here are simple and rough in style, with straight heads and straight heads in the shape of square boxes. Most of them should be barracks, but now the army deployed in Heimu Pass is far from full, and most of the houses are still empty.

If this checkpoint is full of troops, it can reach at least 20,000 people. But even during the long war with the Imperials, the garrison remained below 10,000 men for a long time.

About 300 meters away from the town is the city wall facing the empire, the city wall is much thicker from the back, like the inner wall of the arena, divided into more than ten layers, the lower the wider it is, and the whole is a right triangle. Each floor is connected by stairs and landings that zigzag upwards, and on each floor there are doorways leading to rooms inside the walls, some of which look like barracks, others that look like warehouses.

The top floor of the wall was quite wide, with battlements for defense against arrows and magic on the outside, and a large number of oil pots, trebuchets and falling rocks were placed on the ground. The situation was tense, so there were soldiers standing guard at intervals, and mages at sentry posts farther away.

The soldiers of Kuroki Pass were obviously more elite than the rabble of Suero, and most of the soldiers appeared to be quite strong, and there was also a fierce air between walking. Many of the people here have participated in the war against the Empire, seen blood, and killed people.

Although Count Olgas had already missed a supply, it had not affected the food supply, and the atmosphere in the gate was calm, and most of the soldiers looked normal, both training and labor were still going on normally.

Xiao Chen didn't dare to let the Mage's Eye fly too high, because according to Huang Zheng, he had already tried to use the Mage's Eye to observe the entire Heimu Pass from above a few days ago, but the Mage's Eye was discovered as soon as he flew over the city, and was directly discovered by the mage in the sentry box, and then disintegrated with a dispel ray.

He just let the Mage's Eye follow Viscount Josa and slowly flew towards the town of Guanli. The knight led Count Josa up to the high ground on the west side of the town, and up about sixty or seventy steps, they came to a vast platform where there was a large two-story house. This house is much more refined than the other houses around, with a bit of Suero style. The entrance was guarded by four knights and two mages who looked good.

They magically inspected Viscount Josza and led him up to the second floor. In a reception room, he met Count Olgas, the guard of Kuroki Pass.
