The border fortress, as the name suggests, is a huge military fortress established by the Lund Kingdom in the northernmost part of the mainland, and it is also the dividing line between human civilization and barbarism. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because once you cross it, there is an endless primeval forest, except for a few settlements and supply points established by a very few daring fellows, which is basically a forbidden area for life, and once it has penetrated more than two hundred kilometers, even the most seasoned hunter will lose his way and become a dessert for all kinds of ferocious carnivores.

But that's not the scariest thing!

The most terrifying thing is that it is said that the monsters left over from the war between gods and demons are hiding in the deepest parts and thriving, so there are often rumors that a hunter or adventurer has found a suspected dungeon monster.

Of course, so far, the rumors have been limited to a few small pieces of gossip that have not been substantiated, and have not caused mass panic.

In addition to this, supply points and settlements deep in the forest, around the winter of each year, all inhabitants retreat to the fortress to hide from possible herds, and do not return until the beginning of spring of the following year.

It is precisely because of the large number of people that the border fortress is far more than just a fortress, it covers a huge area, if you count the army, the permanent population is more than 250,000, plus the large number of merchants, hunters, adventurers and so on from afar, if it were not for a large number of heavily armed soldiers patrolling everywhere, there would be no difference from a city with developed trade.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that in order to be able to completely defend against the annual invasion of huge beasts, the Lund Kingdom spent a long time ago to completely seal the only passage between the two mountains.

I saw a spectacular stone wall ten kilometers long, thirty to forty meters high, and more than six meters thick, rising from the ground to form a perfect concave shape, with a forest of arrow towers at the top, and countless catapults and ballistas were placed, just like the scene in a magic blockbuster.

There is no doubt that this is a typical military fortress of the Cold Weapon era, with a concave structure that allows the enemy to withstand more long-range attacks when attacking.

Standing in front of such a magnificent building, Lu Li couldn't help but take a deep breath, turned to Meow Lori behind him and ordered: "Lily! Fly the drone! I want to take a picture of this fortress from above." ”

"Meow!

Without saying a word, the girl quickly took out the propeller drone from the compartment and released it, and after a while, the camera sent back a clear picture.

Judging from the uneven surface of the city walls, and the black-brown color of the stone surface when the blood coagulates, it is easy to tell how many terrible battles have been fought here.

But just when Lu Li felt the shock from the heart, a bright spot suddenly appeared in the lens building!

Before he could react, a sharp arrow pierced through the drone, destroying the electronics inside.

Without any accidents, the entire drone fell headlong from a height of more than 150 meters and fell to pieces.

"Damn!who?—who shot the arrow?!" Lu Li roared angrily.

Although a civilian drone is nothing to his current net worth, this trip to the north is not much because of the large amount of ammunition he carried, there are only three civilian ones, and only one military one.

It's good now, before the fight starts, I was killed by my own people, is there anything more unfortunate in the world?

Just as Lu Li was staring around looking for the culprit who shot down the drone, a middle-aged man in delicate armor and holding a compound bow walked down from the city wall, followed by a large group of soldiers and officers.

His face was gloomy, and he admitted unceremoniously: "I did it, what, do you have any opinions? We have a rule here that nothing is allowed to fly over the fortress, otherwise they will all be shot." ”

"Is there such a rule?" Lu Li subconsciously frowned, turned his head and asked his teammates behind him.

"Uh...... If I'm not mistaken, there seems to be such a rule. Uncle Botman thought for a moment and immediately replied in the affirmative.

"Well, count me out of luck. Lu Li shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

After all, on other people's territory, he had to abide by the rules set by others, and although he was very dissatisfied with the use of violence without even a warning, he still chose to avoid the intensification of the conflict.

"Wait! you're adventurers, aren't you?" asked the middle-aged man, who had just gotten into the car.

Lu Li nodded lightly: "That's right, we are adventurers." ”

"Then do you know why the guild's commander hasn't arrived this year? You know, the first heavy snow is about to fall, but I can't even see his shadow. The middle-aged man's beard curled up, and he seemed to be a little angry.

"May I ask ...... you are" Lu Li suddenly felt a little weak, and looked each other up and down.

Obviously, as the sole commander of tens of thousands of low-level adventurers authorized by the guild elders, he is definitely not able to say it now.

The middle-aged man finally noticed the adventure team in front of him, all of whom were wearing silver badges symbolizing elite, forcibly suppressed his anger, and introduced himself: "I am the Duke of Kulenta, the governor of the border fortress in place of the kingdom. ”

"Oh...... It turns out that you are the Duke of Kulenta mentioned by Crete!" Lu Li instantly realized the identity of the other party.

"Crete, are you referring to the Scarlet Dragon, Elder Renard Bor's only disciple, Crete?" Duke Kulenta asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, that's him. In fact, Crete was supposed to come with me, but something went wrong on the way, so he had to return to Kempera to report to the guild. Yes, this is a badge that represents the Guild's authorization, and from now on, I will work with you on behalf of the Guild to deal with the surging herds. ”

With that, Lu Li took out the golden badge that Elder Renard had given him earlier.

Duke Kulenta took it and glanced at it, his face immediately became even more ugly, and he even complained unabashedly: "Bastard! What is the guild doing? First it was late! And then it sent a rookie who didn't know anything! If I'm not mistaken, you must be the first time to rally the north, right?"

"Hey, crying, who's the rookie, who are you scolding? In Kempera, even the top three legions don't dare to talk to our captain like that!How old are you?Believe it or not, I can smash you as high as me with a hammer?" Engil threatened, brandishing his hammer.

He has a rough personality, so he doesn't care if he is a nobleman or not, if he doesn't accept it, he will do it!
