The Griffon Fortress has been built for more than 20 years, and the terrain here is treacherous, directly choking the throat of the northern entrance and exit from the royal capital, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The army guarding the griffon fortress was originally the army of the former Emperor Raymond, the veterans of the Griffin Legion, who survived one fierce battle after another.

After the war of the last dynasty was over, and the empire succeeded in replacing the Aries dynasty in ruling the land, a large number of troops were disbanded.

The soldiers returned to the provinces to live as farmers, and as Raymond's descendants, the Griffon Legion was placed in Griffon Fortress.

Griffon Fortress was a military stronghold and had no land, and the veterans could not survive by farming, so they chose craftsmen as their profession.

Although every year the royal capital would transport a large amount of food and daily necessities, as well as silver coins to the griffon fortress, which was used to supplement the life of the veterans.

But the veterans refused to accept this, and they relied on working as blacksmiths and carpenters or something, and went to nearby towns to subsidize their lives and exchange some food for returning.

According to Raymond's orders, the Griffon Fortress was responsible to the Emperor alone, and no one was able to mobilize the Griffon Fortress's army.

Griffon's Fortress is more of a small autonomous town than a military fortress, where veterans have put down roots and are getting old.

Their sons took up their mantle and became a member of the Griffin Legion, guarding the fortress in their place for more than twenty years.

On this day, a sturdy young man, probably in his twenties, dragged half a wild boar back to the fortress, and was greeted from afar by someone who knew him.

"Ethan, did you shoot a wild boar today? I haven't seen a wild boar with only two legs. ”

A middle-aged man who was striking iron with a hammer saw the young man and grinned and said hello, and the hammer rang out.

"When I passed through the town, I exchanged half of the wild boar for some medicine, and the other half was dragged back to be eaten, and I will bring some for you to bring over later, uncle. ”

A young man named Ethan paused in front of the humble blacksmith shop, which was filled with unusually sharp knives and guns.

"Do you want to give it to me? I'm not welcome, uncle, is the potion for Elion's illness? ”

The middle-aged man knew the young man Ethan well, and it was said that he was not a native of Griffon Fortress, but had been picked up by a veteran.

The older men in the Griffon Fortress knew that it was a winter that was just as cold, and although the snow had stopped, the snow had not yet melted.

When the old man, who usually knew how to drink, staggered to buy alcohol, he saw a swaddling baby in the snow.

The old man, who didn't bother to take care of anything, took the baby back and raised it, and the baby was Ethan.

When Ethan was thirteen years old, the old man was drunk to death, and Ethan refused everyone's help and dragged the old man to bury him alone.

Coincidentally, when Ethan returned, he happened to encounter a group of traffickers who had abducted a group of children from the Griffon Fortress, and he had discovered it.

In the face of the coercion of human traffickers, he not only did not retreat, but single-handedly killed all the people, when the veterans got the news and rushed over, they were all amazed to see the bloody and hideous scene, and they all said that this little Ethan was terrible when he grew up, and he was definitely a character.

Most of the abducted children made it home, but a little girl was left alone, and she chose to stay and live with Ethan.

That little girl is Ethan's sister Elen, speaking of which, Eren is also sixteen years old this year, and she is slim and beautiful.

She has a lively personality and is also very popular with young people in Griffon Fortress, and many of them fight for the opportunity to talk to Iren.

However, they called back and forth but found that they couldn't beat Ethan's brother Ethan in the end, so they had no choice but to give up, not to be bored with themselves, and retreated.

Eren smiled at this, she was the most beautiful flower in the entire griffon fortress, and it was supposed to bloom in the years.

But in the midst of her most beautiful youth, she was suddenly struck down by an illness, and without warning she contracted a vicious disease, and the local doctors were helpless.

Ethan tried all kinds of methods to no avail, and the doctor advised him to give up, and there was no cure for this rare strange disease.

But Ethan still seeks medical advice, and every time he goes to the market, he always brings medicine back, hoping that Eren can recover day by day and continue to bloom with beautiful youth.

"Thank you Uncle for your concern, I heard from the merchant that there are new doctors in the north, they have very unique potions and new treatments, I want to take Iren to try, if it is really as effective as they say, maybe Iren will be saved from her illness." Ethan spoke with some expectation.

He has always been dependent on Iren, for him, his sister is all he has, and he can give everything for Iren.

"North? Are you talking about the new discipline called 'modern medicine' that arose in the Far East? I have also heard from the merchants that those doctors are of very high standard and have cured many stubborn diseases that traditional doctors are helpless for, but are we not now in a state of hostility with the Far East?"

At this moment, another burly man who passed by scratched his head and asked, they had lived in the fortress for many years and knew each other well.

"It's not just hostilities, but we Griffons have been guarding this fortress for generations, and we can't leave, right? This is our promise to His Majesty Emperor Raymond, and this is the dignity forged by our Griffin Legion with blood, and we can't break this ban under any circumstances. ”

Another old man on crutches came over, his physique was thin, he was dressed in a black robe, and he looked very difficult to speak.

"Lord Monte, are you mistaken, Ethan is the old drunkard's child he picked up from outside, not from our Griffin Legion, what is he going to do is his freedom? ”

Derek, the blacksmith who was good friends with Ethan, said that the Griffon Legion had sworn to guard the Griffon Fortress for generations, not just themselves.

Together with their descendants, they will guard this place, not accepting orders from anyone, and will keep the Griffon Fortress safe, which is the gateway to the royal capital.

Even during the most critical period of the civil war between Rhaegar and Leoledon, the royal capital was about to fall, and the Griffon Fortress did not make any movement.

"That's right, it's Ethan's freedom to choose, and we have no right to interfere, but Ethan, Earen's current body, can she really withstand a long journey? and time ......."

The burly man Morris glanced at Ethan worriedly, Iren's physical condition was really bad.

I'm afraid it's hard to hold out until the end of the snowfall!
