The Hawkmen were now enjoying VIP service, each with an alpaca on each side, and the leader of the group was Magellan, and behind him was the three-person queue. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The arch bridge was very wide, enough for five or six people to walk side by side, but considering the safety of the eagle people, Magellan chose such a queue anyway. Five ropes and the guide's hard work at all times allowed the alpacas to honestly follow the middle of the boulder, but it worked surprisingly well.

The eagle man still can't change his instinctive reaction to spread his wings in the turbulence, which is not something that can be fought by will alone, not to mention that there is more than one turbulence on the arch bridge.

However, when the eagle people spread their wings and are about to be carried away by the turbulence, the rope will keep them on the ground, at least the alpacas can provide enough "stability" when they are together.

In this way, they crossed the abyss unharmed and reached the next area.

"It's ......"

The eagles had no strength at all, they had already lost all their strength in the turbulence, so it was the guide who was driving the alpacas who stood on the edge of the ruins of the new town and looked around and sighed in surprise.

"You seem to have something to say. ”

Magellan was a little surprised, and the guide suddenly realized, as if he had suddenly discovered something.

"This is the ...... of the Ancestral Hill"

"You mean the legendary place blessed by the sun?" Magellan smiled, he hadn't enjoyed the feeling of something unexpected suddenly popping out of his mind for a long time, "but there is nothing like the legend here......

"No, these steps," the guide said, referring to the steps carved out for drainage, which Magellan preferred to describe as terraces, "in the Inca, mound, that's what the word means." ”

So the city must be an ancient Inca city with the word mound, in its name. ”

Only the Ancestral Hill meets this condition.

Legend has it that the ancient Incas discovered the land of God while wandering in the mountains, and the emperor of the time, believing that this was the hill that the sun had bestowed on the Incas, built a city here, despite the inaccessibility and the terrain.

No one knows what that city was like, but in the current Inca, people only know that the city was a secret fortress and treasure house of the emperor for a long time, and where it is, the shape of a hill can be seen in the shape of a giant lying on the ground.

That's why Magellan didn't think that this was the Mound of the Ancestors in the first place, and that the famous sight was obscured by a thick fog.

The Ancestral Hill was not originally built as a fortress or royal garden, but it was discovered that the emperor and his successors had concentrated the power of the entire empire, dug drainage systems, and built magnificent buildings to make it the capital of the empire. Eventually, despite the miraculous completion of the project, the emperor gave up on making it a city, as its location was no longer sufficient for the Inca conquest and expansion.

"I never thought this was the Ancestral Hill," Magellan finally exclaimed like a guide, "but now it seems that this is indeed the legendary city." ”

Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking up the hillside, you can see the buildings made of huge stones on the platforms, including the magnificent pyramid-shaped temples and the huge palaces, all as if they were carved into the stone by a huge craftsman.

"But at least for now, let's set up camp first. ”

Magellan ended his exclamation and led the team to the camp he had chosen.

It's a huge, well-preserved building, and it's so open that there's only an open space when you enter the gate, with a ventilation gap in the middle of the boulders on the top.

The structure of the building was no more solid than the other structures that had collapsed, and it seems that it had survived entirely by chance, which was one of the reasons why Magellan chose to set up camp here, wondering what was so special about this building.

The eagles, who had left the turbulence, finally relaxed, and the guide and Magellan had to take the alpacas back and forth several times to bring the things from the previous camp, and the eagles began to arrange a place to rest.

......

In the evening, this sizable expedition sipped tea made from leaves of grass that the guide found on the hillside around the fire, listening to a grand symphony and talking about the future.

"There's still a cliff to go over before we can get into the fog, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. ”

Magellan didn't like the taste of the tea, but he drank it honestly.

"Even if your guess is correct...... "The eagles still haven't recovered from the memories of the turbulence during the day, and they are negative about the future, "There is a very dangerous smell in that fog. ”

"That's not a problem," Magellan had too many experiences dealing with dangerous aura, "as long as it's not a problem like turbulence, I can solve it in general." ”

"That's not turbulence. The eagleman shook his head uneasily, "It's some kind of creature." ”

"Huh. ”

Magellan smiled, and he didn't say anything more, because there was no need.

......

The Canyon Fortress was breached.

For the first time, the Holy Spirit felt that he was not moved by the victory, although in order to boost morale, he tried to make his appearance calm, not cold.

It was a great victory, and after Magellan had brought the New Crusade to a near despair, the Holy Spirit looked forward with pure fervor to its coming, the greatest trophy that a man in war could get, but science did not seem to have arranged it that way.

Magellan left the army, and the Holy Spirit learned a few days later, and without him, none of the Aztec cavalry went out of the fortress to fight, they just stood on the cliff, quietly as a background behind the emperor, and remained silent in boredom.

"How stupid ......"

This thought afflicted the Holy Spirit.

He would have had a chance to prove himself, with a battle that survived mortal adversity to prove that scientifically selected warriors were far superior to these savage unbelievers.

But when Magellan left, the triumph became boring and rightfully served.

It is true that the devout suffered unprecedented losses, and the New Crusaders were indeed demoralized due to lack of supplies, but they were still enough to easily defeat the Inca army guarding the fortress.

"The indigenous emperor fled. ”

A soldier reported this to the Holy Spirit, and he seemed a little disappointed, but the Holy Spirit didn't care at all: "It doesn't matter, let the warriors take over the warehouse and get ready to celebrate." ”

The soldier's fear of letting the emperor go disappeared in an instant, and he jumped up without excitement, turned and ran towards the warehouse.
