Chapter 3: The Super Fortress

After the Persian cat said this, Shangguan suddenly realized: "It is indeed very possible!" So what do we do, do we want to sue the others? ”

"Stupid!" The Persian cat knocked him on the head again: "Do you have proof?" These are just my speculations! As he spoke, the Persian cat touched his chin: "Besides, I just want to use him, so I just plan and make some moves!" ”

"I said kitten, I don't care about your plan, I'm more curious, how did you find him?" Poison Island said suddenly, obviously in the tone of Ma Le: "More than forty adventurers, you can grasp the slightest expression of this person, don't tell me that you happened to see it!" ”

The Persian cat raised his chin and was proud: "Of course it's not a coincidence, I do things for a reason!" As she spoke, she pointed at the hooded man from afar: "Isn't it mysterious that he has been wearing a hood?" ”

"That's it?" Shangguan pursed his lips, "I thought our cat sister had a strong basis!" ”

"I'm not done yet!" The Persian cat was going to knock him again, this time Shangguan learned to be smart, dodged in a flash, and laughed proudly on the side, who knew that as soon as the Persian cat raised his hand, an ice spike rose from the ground and stabbed Shangguan's buttocks, making the little ghost cover his stomach and jump around.

"Stupid, if he keeps wearing a hood, can I see his face?" The Persian cat sneered, "I thought this guy was suspicious from the beginning. At first, when he was in the teleportation plaza, few people arrived, and he wore a hood all the time, but later as more and more people came, and the number of onlookers gradually increased, he took off his hood. It wasn't until he entered the world, read the mission information, and the adventurers began to chat with each other to discuss their plans, that he put his hood on again. ”

"What's so special about this?" Shangguan Yunhong covered his ass and wondered.

"Who wears a hood?" The Persian cat crossed his arms and said, "Of course it's someone who wants to hide his identity!" In that case, why did he take off his hood in the teleportation plaza that attracted the most attention? Well, even if he just wears it casually, why does he hide his face when he enters the world and adventurers start chatting with each other? ”

"I feel like you're thinking too much!" Shangguan Yunhong muttered, but after speaking, he still subconsciously flashed aside.

"No, that person definitely doesn't want to see the light!" The Persian cat affirmed: "Not only the small act of wearing a hood, but also a lot of subconscious behavior, all telling me that he has no companions, and he wants to hide himself...... I know this kind of person best, because I used to be like that! ”

Speaking of this, the Persian cat bowed its head deeply, looking pitiful. Shangguan was a little unbearable, and walked up to comfort him, but suddenly his eyes were scolded, the bridge of his nose hurt, and he was punched by the Persian cat Haibian.

"So, isn't it wrong for such a person who wants to hide to show his appearance when there are the most people!" The Persian cat said: "Either he has mental problems, or this face is also fake, and he let everyone see this fake face in order to better hide himself!" ”

"It's a shame that you can think of so many ...... from a few actions and a few expressions" Shangguan covered his nose and held back his tears: "In case you find out that you guessed wrong, what a waste of brain cells!" If only I had focused on my own work! With that, he immediately jumped to the side, and this time he didn't dare to approach the Persian cat again.

"Well, no matter what he wants anyway, it has nothing to do with us!" The Persian cat sighed: "You are indeed right about this, we are here for the gourmet this time, as long as he can recover, it doesn't matter what the main quest is!" ”

Twenty kilometers was not a long way for the adventurer, and as he spoke, the group walked out of the jungle and into an open plain. If you look up from here, you can already see a huge fortress standing not far away!

Now everyone finally knows why the war here has lasted for hundreds of years, but neither side can go any further! Look at the majestic fortress, which is simply more spectacular than any majestic fortress in the history of mankind. The city is octagonal in shape, and the walls are forty or fifty meters high, and the thickness is more than six meters, and the carriages on the walls are not too narrow. Each corner of the fortress has a tower, and there are brilliant magic crystals suspended in the tower, each of which is driven by a magic circle, and there is a special mage next to it, once a hostile force is found, it immediately shoots magical energy to attack, each shot is more powerful than a cannonball in reality!

On top of these eight towers, in the center of the fortress, there is a tower that is hundreds of meters high, and on the spire is a giant spar that is more than three meters high, and the magic energy surging on it is intimidating. There is no doubt that this is the central main gun of this fortress, and it can also be called the world's strongest strategic weapon in the battle for the defense of the ruins!

Although the main building of the fortress is majestic, it can only garrison two or three thousand people at most, and the garrison here mainly relies on the large military camp that surrounds the fortress, and from the place of the adventurers, you can see the strong fortifications, the battle flags fluttering in the wind, and the patrolling soldiers.

With these nine magic cannons, and the protection of tens of thousands of soldiers stationed there, the villagers of the nearby villages gradually gathered and settled behind the fortress, forming a small town. The town's bazaar not only provided a trading platform for the villagers, but also provided a lot of necessities for the soldiers inside the fortress. It can be said that hundreds of years of strength have made this fortress a myth and a symbol of safety in people's hearts.

The group rushed towards the fortress, and it seemed that they were about to approach the continuous barracks. But to their surprise, it wasn't smiling allies who came to greet them, but cold magic cannonballs!

Without warning, a magical missile glowing with blue light roared, and the adventurers immediately scattered and fled when they noticed it, only one of them rose to the challenge, standing a huge tower shield on the ground to withstand the shelling head-on!

With a bang, the magical energy was stirred and scattered, and the shield bearer was also rolled backwards by the blow, and the ground was also torn open by the energy of the explosion into a huge shallow crater, which looked terrifyingly powerful.

The man holding the shield still didn't leave his hand, he stood up, patted the dirt on his body and shouted: "The power of this shot is about 1,200 points, and there is also a range of splashing effect!" Although it's a magic bullet, it's a real physical explosion damage! With that, he pulled out a healing potion and injected it on himself, which was kind of testing the threat of the turret for everyone.

Everyone frowned when they heard this, although they had pre-studied the power of the turret in advance, but they were still shocked when they were really confirmed! The damage of such a tower alone is so high, what if eight towers fire together? Not to mention the main gun at the top, if you recklessly rush over and be set on fire, even the steel and iron bones will be broken!

Everyone hurriedly retreated out of the attack range of the turret, and at this time, a group of soldiers on horseback arrived in the distance, led by the captain, who was covered in rusty dark armor and had a face helmet on his face, and his face was not clear. But the soldiers behind him were not so tightly protected, and everyone could see clearly that although they had the same head, two hands and two feet, it was not a human being, but a dried corpse with shriveled skin, deep-set eye sockets, and a rotten smell all over their bodies!

It's a squad of undead creatures, and even the horses they're riding are necromantic warhorses with exposed bones!

"Who are you?" The commander raised a rugged spear and pointed it at the leader of the adventurers, Chen Mingfeng, who was standing at the front.

Chen Mingfeng was already ready, took off the ring on the middle finger of his left hand and handed it over, the captain took it, then changed the ring to Chen Mingfeng, turned the horse's head, waved the spear in the direction of the fortress, turned around and said: "Come with me, say hello before coming next time, it is very dangerous to rashly enter the attack range of the fortress!"

"Thank you, sir, for your advice!" Chen Mingfeng put the ring back on, turned around and motioned for everyone to follow the group of scout cavalry.

That ring was actually Chen Mingfeng's miracle badge, and the purpose here was a letter of introduction. This is also the convenience of the system for adventurers. Theoretically, the fortress would attack all unregistered strangers, and three months was not enough time for adventurers to join the army and gain trust to go to the front until they made a contribution that would make a difference in the tide of battle. That's why the system will set the identities of the adventurers as a group of soldiers who have already gone through the formalities of joining the army and want to go to the front line immediately, and their badges are set as tokens, and you can see a unique magic mark in the eyes of the characters in the story, and you can see at a glance that they are soldiers from their own camp.

Of course, these rules were known when the adventurers bought the quota to enter the world of ruins defense, so everyone didn't worry about the issue of recognition, but they didn't expect this turret to be so iron-faced and selfless.

He followed the scouts all the way, but instead of going straight to the fortified fortress or even to the military camp that surrounded the fortress, he came to the town behind the fortress first.

A 30-meter-wide moat was dug around the fortress, and the river (harmony) was so deep that it was drawn from the river that crossed the continent, and the river was inhabited by a variety of aquatic animals that swam from the river, including some dangerous species that were deliberately bred to defend against foreign enemies. The town was built to the northwest of the fortress, close to the military road, a short distance from the moat.

If you look at the ring of buildings outside the moat of the fortress as an approximate ring, then the town occupies about a quarter of it, that is, a fan of 90 degrees. The other 270 degrees are well-defended barracks. So it can be said that the towns provide the market for the army, or it can be said that the army provides protection for the towns.

Compared with heavily garrisoned camps, it is better to enter the fortress in a relatively free and relaxed town. As soon as you cross the central avenue of the town, you can see the folding suspension bridge in front of the northwest gate of the fortress.
