Chapter 386: Iron Hill Fort
Fort Ironhill, named after its establishment in the Black Iron Mountains, was the southernmost fortress of the Eastern Kingdom of the Linton Empire.
Built in the mountains, it is almost an underground city, rich in iron ore as its name suggests, and one of the border cities that the dwarves like to frequent.
Cristian slept on her desk for a long time, and no one dared to call her as the owner of this place, as long as she didn't wake up.
The door was already crowded with people waiting.
"Haven't you woken up yet, can you go and teach her, this is an urgent matter, if you neglect you, you won't be able to compensate even if you die a hundred times. An old man said hurriedly, his voice a little hoarse, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting here.
The footsteps are constantly walking back and forth, and when I am older, I will feel tired to walk like this, but there is no place to rest outside this door.
I really don't understand what the lord of Ironhill Castle thinks, whether it is deliberately done so that the people who are waiting for her to do things will obediently go back, he looked at a group of other people behind him, all of them are knights from nearby towns or cities, or officials who occasionally seem to be civilians and all of them are stopped one by one.
Although this Iron Hill Fort is called a fortress, after several generations of expansion, it is now like an underground city, and the entire mountain has been built above, which can be said to be an iron city fortress above and underground.
Because it stands in the most central part of the Black Iron Mountains, it directly governs the gate connecting the two cities and the wilderness, and is the fortress of the empire and the gateway to the two neighboring countries.
That's why there are a lot of people who ask to come every day.
Perhaps because of the relationship between the two countries, and it is also a barrier in the wilderness, the empire tolerates him to the greatest extent, as long as he does not commit treason, everything is easy to talk about, so no matter which city, any nobles come here, it is closed.
The lord of this area, Christiania, has taken over Ironhill for more than four years from the previous generation, and has trained a lot of soldiers and cultivated her own weapons during these years, and has also benefited from the empire for the reason of guarding the southern border.
It can be said that it is a real party prince.
"That's not good, no one can disturb your lord's rest, you know the consequences, Lord Guran. The soldier standing at the front said unhurriedly.
This happens almost every day.
And I've heard all kinds of excuses, not to mention what things are seriously unbearable, and there are people who find out about their hometown and pretend to be a fellow villager to cheat the relationship to enter, in short, all kinds of excuses are rotten, and the only way to go in is to wait for the lord to wake up and open the door.
"I know, I know it, but this is news from the imperial capital, you should at least let the lord see it. ”
"Oh, just to see, then you don't say it earlier, I'll put it on the table later, and let the lord see it last. The soldier continued, expressionless.
The old man was so angry that his beard almost stood on end.
There are a lot of people around, and he can't say the content directly, so he can only wait honestly, but fortunately, his position is not bad.
It's noisy outside the door.
How is it like this again.
There was only a little light in the room, and Christian's study was built on top of a bunker, and although the underground city was lit up every day, the light didn't need to be pulled open on the windows to let in the light.
She has light blue hair and blue eyes.
Cristiana heard from the elders of the family that her family originally lived by the sea, and most of the people by the sea were nobles with blue eyes and blue hair.
"Hey, it's all hundreds of years ago, and if you have a choice, it's better to be a casual nobleman by the sea, than to listen to them every day here. ”
A long stretch stretched.
The slender body supported a pair of red and gold-rimmed armor, and the shoulder area was faintly flashing with emerald green light, and a green glass ball the size of a jewel floated on the shoulder.
If Wang Chu was here, he could be sure at a glance that this was a shoulder guard made of high-grade magic core materials.
"Your Lord, are you awake?"
"Well, what's going on outside, why is it so noisy. Cristiana asked, her face that had just woken up had red marks that had been pressed by her arm for a long time, white and tender with red silk, and her face looked like a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
The bulging chest came out, engraved with a complicated coat of arms, and I don't know what it represented.
"It's not the usual people, but this time His Excellency Guran is here too. ”
"Ah, it's him. Why did he come here too?" said Christianity, whose face could not be concealed by the helplessness.
"It is news from the imperial capital. ”
Uh, the imperial capital.
"Then let him in. "Since it's news from the imperial capital, Cristian still has to ask.
Soon the door opened, and an old man sweating profusely ran in.
"Lord Christian, you're finally awake. ”
Looking at the beads of sweat on the other party's head, Cristian looked a little embarrassed, after all, if it was an official from a neighboring city, would it seem that he was not well entertained.
Forget it, it's all like this anyway, not again.
"Is there any news from the Imperial Capital, Your Excellency Guran? She asked.
The old man hurriedly took out the bound leather paper document and handed it to her.
The seal is the mark of the king of the imperial capital, and it was actually issued by the king himself, and Cristian picked it up and read it.
Gu Lan saw that there were servants all around, and said directly.
"This is a message from the Asta Empire Magician Association, the empire sent a message as soon as it saw it, and the demons in the wilderness formed a force and began to prepare for an attack on the human kingdom in a big way, and the Asta Empire and some small principalities around it were organized, and they hoped that our Linton Empire would also join the eastern defense line. Before she finished reading it, Cristian probably said what was in her mind.
"What about the king, what is the king's opinion. ”
"Ahem, what other opinions, the human countries have been unanimous in the past, and any foreign invasion that threatens the human race can temporarily put aside the hatred of the country and join the battle together. ”
The Quran speaks of an ancient vow.
In fact, it is not an oath, but almost all of them are still done, because foreign races will not deal with human beings, no communication is possible, as long as they come to the human kingdom, it is bound to be a war, and at this time, all human kingdoms participate in the war to protect the absolute dominance of this race over the center of the continent.
"So the Empire wants us to be ready for war?"
"Yes, and quickly, according to the Asta Empire, the Earth Demons have already begun to attack. "Maybe it's because he's been waiting outside for too long, and Gulan is looking for an excuse to keep the young lord in front of him busy.
"Alright, I'll go gather troops today. Cristiana said.
Walk to the back of your seat.
In front of a sealed wall, she turned the mechanism on the wall, and half of the space actually opened.
A longbow glowing green was revealed, and the arm was in the shape of a bracer, the green glowing bow was open to the ends, and there were two fang-like parts sticking out at the front.
Hey, this is a top-of-the-line bow, I've heard that Cristian was a master hunter at a young age, and this time I really saw her weapon.
"Misha, looks like we have something to do. Curling the corners of her mouth, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard a creepy growl from behind her.
He turned his head away.
A giant bear with a blue face and fangs lay not far behind him.
