Chapter Twenty-Five: The Iron Horse Sentry
This was the first volunteer soul fragment that Scotter had obtained, but it would not be the last, and at the same time that these soul points of light merged into Scott's body, the old dwarf in the fortress, Thorion, immediately looked up in surprise at the location of the barracks castle in the fortress.

"A willing soul, Scott's boy is really lucky, it seems that the old man has to work hard. ”
。。。。。。
A sleepless night, perhaps after plundering a bountiful village, which needed time to digest and consolidate, or perhaps a disdain for the caravan of less than a hundred men, the goblin legion did not appear, except for a few wild dogs that were so thin that they showed their ribs and were hungry like rats that wandered around the caravan.
When the morning came, the men of the merchant group quickly packed their bags, put the bighorn ox on the reins again, and nibbled on the hard naan while setting off slowly in the direction of the rising sun.
Today's itinerary is to go southwest, along the trade routes and the Grey Fog Forest, and arrive at the Iron Horse Outpost on the other side of the Grey Fog Forest in the evening, where the border between the Kingdom of Manchez and the Republic of Tarst meets.
The border between the kingdom of Manchez and Tarst is a steep cliff, more than three hundred meters wide and more than a thousand meters high, it is an absolute natural danger, the two sides of the cliff are full of craggy strange rocks, there is not much land suitable for farming, and there is no village near the natural iron horse sentry post.
And the kingdom did not attach much importance to this place, but only sent a squadron of thirty-six soldiers to garrison, led by a squadron leader in the middle rank of the guard rank and a deputy captain in the rank of guard.
As usual, Scott sat in the caravan at the front, while Kiana was still training at the fortress, and the projection was dangling her legs on the caravan in her cloak.
As for the warriors of the Heart of the Fortress Mercenary Regiment, they wore thick steel armor and wore shields and swords on their backs, and marched vigilantly around the caravan.
Since the spiritual kingdom began to approach, the number of goblins has increased dramatically, not only have the merchants and pedestrians often been attacked by goblins, but even the wild beasts in the wild have been hunted, and a large number of herbivores have been hunted, resulting in the carnivorous beasts that originally fed on herbivores not being able to hunt for food, and the ferocity has greatly increased.
Although they do not attack caravans, single pedestrians are used as a new source of food. Along the way, Scott has packed up and buried no less than double-digit broken corpses.
In the distance, the sound of the wind whistling over the cliffs was heard loud and empty.
The Iron Horse Sentry is not far off.
Scott jumped on the roof of the caravan and did his best to straighten up and look out into the distance. The weather was clear, but the Grey Mist Forest did not disgrace its name, and a faint mist spread out of the forest, even though Scott was already standing quite high, he still did not see it.
However, the guide of the merchant group is extremely competent, although he does not talk much, he can always lead the merchant group on the right path.
As the terrain gradually increased, Scotter could already faintly see the roofs of several tall buildings made of rock looming at the tops of the hills in the distance.
That should be the Iron Horse Sentry.
The sun began to set in the west, and the fog that filled the gray fog forest became thicker and thicker, and at the same time, a faint smell drifted along with the fog, and Scott immediately became vigilant, this faint smell was exactly what the goblins possessed.
"It's a pity that there are no casters in the team who are proficient in the wind element, otherwise we would have been able to let the caster dispel this thick fog. ”
Scott thought that although they both belonged to the combat profession, the casters of mages and warlocks were essentially different from various warriors, they did not need to boil their bodies and nurture bloodlines, but they directly dealt with elemental energy from the beginning.
This has led to a scarcity of mages and warlocks, and their bodies are only slightly stronger than ordinary people, far less than the physical strength of combatants, but the caster can cast [spells] by virtue of their proximity to elemental energy.
Compared with [Combat Skills], [Spells] may be slightly inferior to combat skills in terms of single destructive power, but in terms of large-scale attacks and various special purposes, they are much better than [Combat Skills].
The stench grew stronger, and Scott took a few steps on the roof of the caravan, came to Chiana's side, and after a few words, the latter immediately jumped out of the caravan and disappeared into the fog.
After a few breaths, Kiana reappeared, carrying a dwarf goblin in her hand, whose mouth was firmly gagged with thick plantain-like leaves, and her hands and feet were bound with vines.
"Tell me, what are you doing with us?"
Scott took the foul-smelling, big-eared, pointy-nosed little guy from Chiana's hand and asked fiercely in Goblin Whisper.
"Uh-huh, hmm-hmm ”
The gagged goblin could only make a gagging sound, and Scott reached out to remove the leaves from his mouth.
"Say!"
"Caracalla didn't follow you, Caracalla followed the big leader, followed the big leader to have meat to eat, weapons to take... ”
"Where is your great chief?"
"Caracalla doesn't say it, Caracalla killed it, and he doesn't say that the big leader is on the mountain. ”
The IQ of ordinary goblins is indeed worrisome, they can't even speak their own language goblins, even if the proximity of the [Earth Spirit Kingdom] has improved their intelligence, but they still don't know what deception is.
Following the direction of the goblin Caracalla's finger, Scott found that it was the location of the Iron Horse Sentry.
"Looks like there's trouble!"
"These goblins even dare to plunder the kingdom's sentry!"
Thinking in his heart, Scott wrenched the neck of the goblin in his hand, handed it to Kiana and threw it to a place where it would not be discovered by other goblins, and then returned to the merchant group to explain to Saran, leaving half of the Heroic Warriors and Kiana, and he led ten Heroic Warriors to the Iron Horse Sentry.
。。。。。。
Through the dense fog, Scott slowly approached the complex of the Iron Horse Outpost, and the closer he got closer, the more serious his expression became.
The road was littered with the footprints of various goblins, and from the distant sentry posts came the sound of clashing blades, the thumping of flesh, heavy gasps, and all kinds of howls of pain and misery.
"Gotta speed up!"
"The Iron Horse Sentry won't last long!"
The thought immediately crossed Scott's mind, although the Iron Horse Outpost was a military unit with thirty-six elite warriors and two commanders of the guard ranks, but the goblins attacking here were most likely the goblin regiments that had ransacked the village of Fate, which was powerful enough to break through the bluestone walls and plunder the village of hundreds of people.
"Courage, glory, patience, belong to the glorious Mithril members. ”
Clenching the hammer handle of the Dark Hand, Scott strode through the thick fog towards the Iron Horse Sentry's gates.
The battle near the gate was long over, and the blood stains on the ground indicated the intensity of the battle, but most of it was dark green blood belonging to goblins, and then under the messy goblin footprints, there were rows of neat human footprints.
"It seems that the soldiers of the Iron Horse Sentry have not been disrupted and are still in good order in battle. ”
"However, I also have to speed up, the soldiers have been forced into the sentry post, and it is obvious that they will not be able to support it for long!"
"Raid with me!"
Scott crouched down, probed the ground slightly, and immediately came to a conclusion. He stood up, gave the command to the Immortal warriors behind him, and then took the lead in the charge.
"Boom!"
The heavy hand of darkness shattered the wooden gate leading to the interior of the outpost, and immediately a long corridor stretched inward, and the soldiers' quarters were naturally not beautifully decorated, and the rough rock walls were filled with torches, and the firelight swayed in the empty corridors.
The crisp sound of weapons clashing came from the end of the hallway, accompanied by the strong stench and gore of goblins, and Scott heard the howls of goblins and the desperate roars of human warriors.
"Attack!"
"Boom!"
As Scott smashed the wooden door at the end of the hallway again, the Immortal Warrior behind him unsheathed his sword and strode forward, immediately slaying the goblins behind the door, and then swung his shield to create a small safe area around him, protecting Scott in the middle.
And Scott was the first to catch up on the light of the torches on the wall to get a full view of the situation inside.
At the end of the corridor is a huge hall that can accommodate hundreds of soldiers.
The climate of the Kingdom of Manchez is cold and dry, and in the case of extremely cold winters, the interior naturally becomes the main place of activity for the soldiers, the first floor of the hall is used as a training place and dining hall for the soldiers, and the second floor is the bedroom of the soldiers.
At this moment, more than a dozen soldiers were occupying the stairs leading to the second floor of the hall, stabbing the ordinary goblins that swarmed up with their spears.
On the other side of the hall, in addition to the mountains of goblins and human corpses, there were dozens of goblins and bear goblins left. Among these goblin subspecies is an exceptionally tall goblin, dressed in heavy but nimble full-body chain mail, holding a sharp blade in each hand, and watching the resistance of the human warriors with cold eyes.
Obviously, he is the great leader of the goblins.
The loud sound of Scott's appearance immediately attracted the attention of both warring parties, and the natural human warrior side immediately rejoiced, and his body was once again filled with strength, while the goblin side was surprised and angry.
"Kill them!"
The goblin leader let out a frantic roar, and the dozen or so bear goblins who were watching immediately rushed out of the goblin herd and pounced on Scott.
"[Shield Block], [Heroic Strike]!"
In addition to the strength of the Guardian Rank, the strength of the Fortress Heroic Warrior lies in the combat skills, even if Scott, who is the lord of the Fortress, only has one combat skill and one talent in the Guardian Rank, but the Heroic Warrior has two combat skills from the beginning of its birth.
The shield block easily blocks and unloads the goblins' attacks, while the sword with a heroic blow easily penetrates the simple cowhide armor of the goblins' body and passes through the deadly vital point.
