Chapter 80: Military Fortresses

The snow began to fall again, and although it was not heavy, the strong winds of the night made it difficult for people to talk to each other. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"How long are we going, captain...... The captain ?!! "It takes all the best screams to be heard."

Thorin followed Wang Cuo at the front, and by the light of the fire he could barely keep up with the other party's footsteps, he didn't understand...... It's obviously dark, why does the other party walk so easily, without having to see if the front will hit the tree?

"Keep up. Thorin ignored the complaints in the group and replied loudly.

It is difficult to walk in the snow at night, so the whole group moves slowly. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and a large amount of snow smoth stayed on the clothes, and then turned into water that had penetrated into the clothes...... It was cold at first, but over time, especially for ladies like Lisa and Nicos, it became uncomfortable.

"Where are we going?" asked Lisa first, seeing that the night was getting deep, and the torch in her hand was almost time to be extinguished, if there was nothing to gain, she would continue to look for the way during the day tomorrow, otherwise everyone would not be able to go back when the torch was extinguished.

Sorin's thoughts are probably the same, it is not safe to walk in a dark place with no line of sight.

"It's almost there!" replied the king.

He was the only one in the group who could see it, and from just now he had noticed a fortress in the distance.

He hadn't expected it to snow tonight, so they wouldn't be able to hear even the strange noise.

"There's a fortress in front, let's go and take it as a goal, if we don't find anything, we'll start ......looking for it tomorrow," Wang Cuo also felt that there was no fire, and the team's efficiency was very slow, so it was better to find a stronghold for temporary storage, and wait until dawn or when the snow was light, and then continue to search.

Thorin pointed the fire in front of him, and it was still dark, and the range that could be seen was no more than ten meters...... How did the archmage see that there was a fortress.

"I saw it in the air during the day. Wang Cuo found an explanation for Sister Zhao.

Hearing that there is a fortress, everyone trembles, and there is at least a place to avoid the snow. Endure the colder and colder in his body and speed up his steps.

There are different forts and watchtowers around Glore, all of which were once used as border forts, and the rocks around the fort were collected for construction, and the road was smoother when you crossed the fort.

"Look, it's really a fortress. Someone in the adventurer team said excitedly. It's like suddenly having a lot of energy, and it's better than who ran to the door first.

"Then don't think about it, it must be me first!"

Except for Wang Cuo, Thorin and Lisa, the rest of the people actually joined in.

Watching the five torches run into the fortress is like a lit lantern shining from the darkness......

"Come here, there's a lot of stuff here. Nicos shouted at the three of them.

The three also came to the fort. It's a relatively well-preserved place, surrounded by rusty knives and equipment.

Thorin picked up one of them and brushed away the cobwebs to blow away the dust, "What a sharp sword!" he slammed the blade of the sword.

The crowd searched all around, except for the few doors that had been sealed, even these discarded weapons, and there was nothing left in the huge fortress.

"Would you like to open it and have a look?" Thorin didn't give up, pointing to the doors that were chained with iron chains...... It seems that there will be no harvest tonight, so it is better to rest on the spot. Tomorrow we will go back to the hunter's hut in Leia.

"Open it!" agreed.

Nicos volunteered to slash down with his sword, but the iron rope didn't cut through the dust on the ground, but it was so hard that people didn't dare to breathe.

"I'll do it anyway. Wang Cuo used the magic energy ray, one by one in the direction of the door lock, the scorching heat quickly melted the iron rope and the entire door was pierced, and it was circled along the edge of the door until the whole gate could not hold it and fell.

This illogical magic release spell left the magicians present dumbfounded...... He is worthy of being an archmage, and he is also a 'star mage', and the magic he uses is different.

There were three gates, each of which was opened by the king in this way.

Inside two of the doors were piles of laundry, as well as broken wooden beds.

With a slight touch from Nicos, the connected bed fell apart.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be so fragile. She looked back at the crowd as they dispersed the dust that had been stirred up.

"I guess they haven't been touched in decades, so I can't blame you. Lisa said.

She held the fire and burned the cobwebs above her head, it was a small room, it looked more like the residence of the soldiers in the original fortress, she should have walked in a hurry and did not have time to pack her things, and the boxes still contained a large number of clothes and household items. Lisa examined the contents of the box one by one and found a yellowed letter.

The letters had been corroded by the years, and the pages were crushed with a pinch, and the contents on them were incomplete...... There are only staccato sentences.

"Let the glory be with us, and the enemy is coming. ”

"We've tried our best, but we can't hold off the enemy's horde. ”

"We're done... The whole army was destroyed......"

Lisa read the contents of the paper. "It seems that this is indeed the residence of former soldiers, and there is no useful information. She sighed.

These forts are almost 100 years old, and they have long been lost to people. The content of this epistle was of no use to them.

"There's another room, would you like to check it out?" reminded Nikos.

"That's pretty much it. Thorin also looked disappointed. It looks like there's nothing to be gained tonight.

"You ...... Come and see! This ......."

The sound came from another room, and everyone hurried over.

"Did you find anything?"

"There's a corpse here. ”

The light of the fire of the eight men illuminated the entire room, and just by the wall of the room was a white skeleton with a helmet, and the clothes on its body were also broken and only a few pieces of cloth remained.

"The room is locked, why is he in it, has it been forgotten?" asked Lisa curiously, the doors of the three rooms were chained with iron cables, and the other two rooms were gone. Why would he stay here and wait to die.

Don't understand, everyone doesn't understand. What is the purpose of this kind of anti-locking and waiting for death......

But Wang Cuo was different, and he tried to rub his eyes.

I wish I had seen it wrong, because in his eyes I could see a white ghost sitting on the ground.

A thin body, wearing armor on his head, and his eyes are vigilantly looking around...... This is what this man looked like before his life, and like the previous inhabitants of the town, he was doing the same actions as before, holding a weapon that didn't exist in one hand, and grasping the ground with the other.

Something seems to be under the ground.

"Check him underneath. And the king commanded.

Thorin didn't know why the archmage said that, but he did as he was told, kicking the bone to the side, almost falling apart. And Wang Cuo noticed that even though the bones were kicked away, the soul still sat in place and watched around.

This seems to be his faith, the belief that he will hold on even if he is dead.

"There's a handle, like a hole!" Thorin lifted the handle on the ground, and the ground shook. "It's really a hole, and you can feel the wind blowing out. He excitedly invited several other men to pull up the upper stone slab together.

A boxy hole appeared in front of everyone, and there was still wind in it, but it was all warm wind. It is probably a closed and deep cave!

"Want to go in and have a look?"

"It's all here, of course you have to go in and have a look. The adventurers replied.

"Okay, I'll see it's not wide inside, let's reduce the amount of torches. Just take a handful and put the rest out, and if you take a look at it, if you can't go deeper, we'll give up and continue tomorrow. Thorin thought of a solution, and the rest agreed.

Assigned formation, Thorin was the first to go first, and the archmage, who was an important figure, broke behind.

After watching the group enter the cave in turn, Wang Cuo finally followed.

"You've been guarding for a long time, it's time to rest. "To the ghost soldiers who are still the same.

He closed his eyes, and another body flew out...... Grab the soldier's hand.

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

A cry of pain, but only the soul could hear it.
