Chapter 526: General Ice Rock
Under the emerald green peak, a wide mountain road stone steps winded towards the top of the mountain, and Li Xu followed Tie Lao's side, under the gaze of the heavily guarded rows of soldiers along the way, quickly climbed up the mountain road, and continued to climb all the way to the Blue Ice Palace.
The mountains are densely wooded, and on the gentle slopes of the mountains halfway up, you can see blue rivers and lakes, and there are even some monster spawn areas that occasionally appear, which is a wild map of the city.
"The general likes forests and mountains, so he keeps this mountain range in its pristine state, and it is here that the girl in Snow Heart grew up." Tie Lao smiled and acted as a guide, informing him of the situation here.
"The general's personality is extraordinary." Li Xu said with a smile.
"The successors of each generation of the Ice and Snow Legion will grow up on this mountain, learn to love the world, and know what to fight for, but unfortunately Bingyan only has one daughter, the successor of the next general, and I don't know who to be in charge of." Tie Lao smiled faintly.
"Uh, this." Li Xu was stunned, not understanding what the old man meant.
It turns out that the position of the general of the Ice and Snow Legion also belongs to the rule of passing on men and not women, which is a bit speechless.
Stretching the winding mountain road all the way up, after turning countless curves, a mountain glade suddenly appeared at the end of the long gold-armored soldier guard post along the way.
This clearing, as if it were a vast square, is opposite the side entrance to the ice-blue fortress
The Ice and Snow Castle is facing the south of the city, but the entrance to the castle is on the mountainside on the left, and the blue ice crystal bricks are built into a huge castle, and countless square shooting holes appear on the high outer wall of the fortress.
This is a closed giant fortress, the scale is more than several times that of the Red Flame Fortress, and the setting of nearly a dozen sets of turrets and arrow towers at the top of the fortress makes Li Xu feel extremely shocked.
The fortress is entirely icy blue, but it doesn't look like it's made of ice, it's made of ice-blue, glowing stones.
The fort was heavily defended, with nearly 10,000 gold-armored guards guarding the perimeter of the square, as well as the lookout platform at the top of the Ice and Snow Castle, alerting the surrounding movements.
"Young man, the Ice and Snow Castle is backed by the mountain, but in fact it is connected to the belly of the mountain, and the fortress is just an external defense, and the real general's hall and the place where the Snow Heart girl lives are still in the artificial palace in the belly of the mountain." Tie Lao and his group slowly approached the gate of the Blue Ice Palace, explaining the situation here in detail.
"Does the so-called back mountain refer to another mountain?" Li Xu looked at the mountain peak next to the Ice and Snow Castle, and his heart suddenly moved
If the mountain peaks have been hollowed out, it means that the twin peaks can be connected to each other, and the mountain peak behind it has become a hidden garden behind the Ice and Snow Castle, and it can also be seen from here that the Ice and Snow Legion has been operating here for thousands of years and has built a 100% safe base camp, not to mention that the demon clan cannot get close, even the Terran royal family wants to relieve the Ice Rock General of the military power, it seems that it is difficult to do it.
"Yes, the only passage between Ice Blue Peak and Sacred Heart Peak is in the belly of the fortress, there is no second passage, Sacred Heart Peak is the key to our Ice and Snow City, you may see it in a while." Tie Lao replied with a smile.
The group quickly walked towards the gate of the blue fortress, and was soon stopped by a large group of golden-armored guards at the gate of the fortress.
"The Lord Steward is back, who is this?" A gold-armored centurion looked at Li Xu's unfamiliar face in the team suspiciously, and couldn't help but ask vigilantly.
"Go and report to the general, this is the one who rescued Miss Xuexin, and came to see the general." Tie Lao said lightly.
"He's just fighting against fate? Wait, my lord, I'll go and report at once. The centurion glanced at Li Xu in surprise, and his eyes suddenly became respectful
I saw him turn around and rush to the gate of the fortress, and with the help of a group of soldiers, open the thick gate of the fortress
Airplanes!
Under the rotation of the winch, this solid thick iron gate slowly rose towards the sky, revealing an empty hall, in which countless soldiers stood neatly in the main hall, guarding the core fortress of the Ice and Snow Legion.
The centurion had already rushed into the main hall, running into the distance, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
"This fortress is a place where soldiers are stationed, and only when you reach the fifth floor can you get to the General's Palace, let's wait a while." Tie Lao explained the situation with a smile.
"I see." Li Xu replied, but his heart was already shocked by this well-defended ice and snow castle.
From the beginning of entering the sea near the Ice and Snow City, he was extremely surprised by the scenes he saw in front of him, the turrets standing on the reefs on the sea surface were already as dense as a forest.
And the military seaport under the island provides a powerful sea force.
Until he entered the city, what he saw made Li Xu very surprised, needless to say, the defense in the city was naturally needless to say, those huge numbers of uncamped NPCs filled all corners of the city, let him understand that there must be a huge task hidden in this city, which is related to these refugees.
After coming to the Ice and Snow Castle, Li Xu understood even more that the Ice and Snow Legion had lived on this island for thousands of years, and had turned the Ice and Snow Island into a three-layer defense system, guarding the entrance to the sea of the entire Terran territory and preventing the invasion of the Demon Legion.
What kind of character is this Ice Rock General who holds the power of life and death of millions of NPCs?
Li Xu was looking forward to it unusually in his heart, and wanted to meet the general as soon as possible
Quietly waiting, he looked curiously at the situation around the Ice and Snow Castle, and found that the location here is also very reasonable, the fortress is located on a hillside close to the peak, the front is a cliff, only the only passage on the left, as long as the defense here, even if the city is captured, this fortress is still very safe.
The mountains in the city, the city in the mountains, the absolute defense of foolproof!
Just as he was sighing in his heart about the environment here, nearly ten minutes had passed, and he saw the golden light flickering at the gate of the fortress, and the centurion who had gone in to report had already run out of the gate and quickly approached everyone.
"Lord Governor, fight against fate, the general has an order, please enter the council hall to discuss in detail." The centurion said respectfully.
"Got it, thank you." Tie Lao nodded and smiled, and led his team towards the gate.
With a wave of his arm, the centurion dispersed and made way for them.
The group immediately entered the gate of the fortress, and had just come to a large hall when a buzzing sound sounded behind them, and the gate slowly closed
As the sunlight was blocked, the entire hall was icy blue.
Li Xu looked around in surprise, there were no torches and oil lamps in this fortress, but the blue stone bricks that built the fortress around actually emitted dazzling blue light by themselves, turning the entire hall into another gorgeous world.
Seeing the soldiers of the brigade guarding the main hall like terracotta warriors, as if they didn't see the arrival of this group of people, they still stood at their posts and stared at the gate.
"Let's go, go and meet the general, what you should say and what you shouldn't say in a while, you have to know in your heart." Tie Lao said one last time.
"Understood, I'll be careful, before the situation is clear, I will obey your orders." Li Xu nodded.
"Good." Tie Lao led everyone straight to the second floor of the main hall
The scale of this Ice and Snow Castle has exceeded the Red Flame Fortress by several times, it is a top-level fortress building, and the space is also extremely spacious.
The group finally passed through the main hall on the first floor, and only then did they find the staircase leading to the second floor at the innermost, near the stone wall.
The golden-armored soldiers with three steps and one post were densely arranged on the stairs, still passing by everyone.
The second-floor hall was as spacious as the first, but it was already staffed by archers, with longbows on their backs, near the shooting holes on one side, keeping a close eye on the outside of the fortress.
Three, four, five
Arriving at the five-story fortress, the situation suddenly changed, and the countless arrow towers and lower columns of the turrets here turned the five-story hall into a labyrinthine map.
However, Li Xu had already seen that a red carpet led to the depths of the five-story hall, and two rows of soldiers guarded on both sides of the carpet.
"You guys go back first, I'll go against the fate to see the general." Tie Lao turned around and admonished.
"Yes." Several NPC craftsmen led the guards to bend down and salute, walked directly to the right side of the red carpet, and disappeared into the distance among the countless columns.
After Tie Lao left everyone, he took Li Xu along the red carpet and the two rows of soldiers' guards, and walked straight to the depths of the main hall
After a few minutes of fast walking, a conference hall appeared in front of the red carpet, with three rows of tables and chairs lined up on the left and right, and on a high platform opposite, the golden general's case and a tiger skin chair made Li Xu stunned.
Unexpectedly, the meeting hall of the most senior general of the Ice and Snow Legion was actually arranged on the five-story hall of the fortress, and looking at the situation on the small map, this conference hall was on the side close to the mountain peak.
Approaching the conference hall, the tables and chairs on both sides were dense, a general's high platform was facing the sight of the two, and at the entrance of the steps below, a slender blue-robed figure was standing there with his back to the two, holding a brush in one hand, and was writing the big case
This man in a blue robe, with a slender and straight figure, looks at his back like a straight poplar tree, even if he is splashing ink, his body is still like a deep mountain, faintly revealing the demeanor of a king.
The long hair on the top of his head, haphazardly tied into a crown of blue cloth, looked extremely simple and neat.
Far away, Li Xu couldn't see the name of the blue-robed man on his head for the time being, but he knew very well in his heart that the NPC who could have this kind of temperament must be General Bingyan himself!
This legendary prince, the top NPC of the human race, and the general with heavy troops, turned out to be a well-educated scribe, which made Li Xu a little incredulous.
Because the last time he saw the Storm Legion General Weifeng, it was called majestic, but just a move made people feel frightened, lest he be beheaded by the general's sword in the next second
"General, the old man is back." Tie Lao took two quick steps, stood on the red carpet under the high platform, and bowed respectfully.
This scribe is indeed the Ice Rock General!
