On the eastern border of the Pakan Kingdom, which is the only one in the entire Northern Frontier, due to the need to be vigilant against the threat of orc invasion, the Holy Del Empire has five elite large infantry regiments stationed here all year round, and the base camp of the most elite hussar knights of the empire is also located on the second line of defense of the battlefield of the Dragon Plain, in addition, there are garrisons from other countries in the Northern Frontier, so this is not so much the border of a country, but the largest military camp in the entire Northern Xinjiang.

But it is not a real barracks after all, there is still the only way to enter the Holy Del Empire from the Pakan Kingdom, and we all know that where there are roads, there will be cities, and there will be merchants, so under the siege of this large barracks, a city that is not too small is also built here.

The city of Anolis - This is the official name of the city, it is said to be named after the first warrior to pierce the heart of the orc chief in the orc war forty years ago, but the merchants and local residents like to call it "Mountain Fort", first because the fortified city is located at the foot of this mountain called "North Mountain", and secondly, because the name of Anolius is too awkward and has little to do with local history, so stubborn mountain people prefer to use it "Mountain Fort" to name the city they built themselves.

It should be noted that the mountain people mentioned here are not the "mountain people" of the second era , that is, the descendants of the people of gold, the Elendas, in fact, they have nothing to do with the Elendas, it is said that they have more to do with the wild tribes wandering in the Dragon Plains, but no mountain people will admit this, they stubbornly believe that they are the people of the mountains, unruly and untamed, in fact, if it were not for the constant threat of the orcs, these rough guys who have never been willing to obey the management of the empire, would have risen up against these soldiers and officials walking back and forth on their land.

Of course, it is more likely that these stupid guys, who think very highly of themselves, were eradicated by an edict from His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Holy Del Empire the moment they were revealed.

In the early morning of the 27th day of the month of the shrine maiden (January), 3027, that is, the twelfth day after the entrance ceremony of Masanos, before the residents woke up from their sweet sleep, the north gate of the mountain fort was flooded with many vendors who had been waiting for a long time.

The soldiers at the gate, rubbing their sleepy eyes and yawning, did not see that a fellow who had hidden his whole body in a black robe, mingling with all the peddlers, staggered into the alley not far from the city gate, and soon disappeared into the intricate slum that no one wanted to approach.

Ten minutes later, in a relatively hidden shack deep in the slums, the pale-faced Rattle gasped and kicked the lifeless guy away from him, he didn't even have the strength to pull out the short sword stuck in the chest of the guy who was trying to attack him, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a trace of magic from his almost exhausted body, fine-tuned the frequency, and entered the sound transmission stone that he had been holding in his hand, and then leaned against the wall of the shack in a cold sweat, gasping weakly, just a few seconds, his eyes were slightly small。

"Duh... Honk... Honk... Honk... Honk... Hey, Lartel, can't you wake me up at this time? Do you know how tired I was last night?"

Elivan's irritable voice came from the sound transmission stone, and the slightly distorted sound immediately woke Rattle from his deep exhaustion, he stretched out a hand with difficulty, wiped the sweat with his dirty and tattered cuffs, and then put the sound transmission stone to his mouth tremblingly, and scolded weakly,

"Ahem... Sooner or later, you're going to have to die in Wendy's bed, and you... Ahem, ahem..."

In the middle of his words, a heart-rending cough accompanied by blood struggled out of Rattle's mouth, and then Eleven's exclamation rang out from the other end,

"What's wrong? Where are you? Can you still stand it?"

"Rest assured... Father... It's not time for me to die... Ahem, ahem... I was in the hill fort, in the slums! Lao Tzu went into the ruins, lost an arm, but crawled out of hell and found someone to pick me up! I'm almost dying, remember, the Knights of Anumante are in rebellion, and the road into Pakan has been... Martial law, don't come here! I see... I saw the banner of the silver lightning Pitts... Don't come here, let someone else come!"

Struggling to finish the sentence, Rattle's hand slammed into the ground, and the stone slammed into the stinking ditch beneath the shack, splashing a trace of foul-smelling water, and then there was no more sound.

And at this time, Rattle, who finally could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, helped to reveal the wound he had been trying to hide in his sleeve, under the cloak splattered with black blood, a full arm had disappeared, replaced by a blood-stained bandage that had been haphazardly bandaged, the terrible wound was obviously the mark left by the sharp weapon cut, and it was evident that, as Rattle himself said, he ventured to the ruins, only to crawl out of hell on his own.

On the other side, sitting on the boat, the topless Elivan shouted a few times towards the sound transmission stone, but there was no response, only a series of disordered magic fluctuations, immediately put on his own robe, and rushed to Andre and Rence's dormitory under the light of the rising sun, and a few minutes later, several members of the old K group who had finished wearing gathered in the small box of the student cafeteria, listening to Elivan's story about Rattle with a solemn face.

"That's the case, judging from that guy's last message, it's likely that he has entered an extremely weak coma, and it's almost impossible for the Grand Magus to have such a thing as a severed limb, but it just appeared on Rattle, and there is not much time left for us, and we must bring him back in the shortest possible time!"

Eliven rolled a soft Duno into a roll, stuffed it into his mouth in one gulp, chewed it a few times, drank another glass of water, and then looked at his brothers with equally gloomy faces, and added,

"And this matter, we can't let anyone else know, Rattle is implicated in a big secret, a big secret that is likely to uproot Masanos if it is exposed! )
