Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Silver Hand-I-First Sight
"My lord, shall we go straight to Stratholme?"
Kiel followed the mage and walked quietly in the dark, this is already the border of Great Cowling, and further up is the east wall fortress, but it is like a steel wheel fortress, the reason why the fortress is called a fortress is that it is originally a large barracks, and naturally it is not the best place to stop for long trips.
"I'm going to talk about it first, I'm curious about what kind of unit the Silver Hand is. The mage, who had walked in the darkness with Kiel, finally saw their inn, glanced at the sun-like chapel behind him, and said.
"Yes!"
After a night of silence, the two of them mounted their horses and headed straight for the west early the next morning, and before the sun set, they arrived at today's temporary destination, the East Wall Fortress.
Because the fortress was originally expanded from the east wall sentry post, you can see the most main building of the entire fortress at a glance, a huge sentry fortress made of gray boulders, and then with the fortress as the northernmost fulcrum, it encloses a square city wall that is obviously much larger in the north, and the other three ends of the city wall are also cast in the shape of a fortress, but they are not as big as the one in the north corner.
The inside of the fortress is quite tidy, at least not like the steel wheel ramparts, the mud is mixed with all kinds of livestock excrement, even the cleanest place can make the shoes with a little dirt that I can't say, plus the garrison is sluggish, even if it is just a passing Keerryth and his party are stopped by a garrison team that suddenly appeared to knock on the stroke, although after Keerreth impatiently threw a large fireball, he shivered and let go.
In the East Wall Fortress, Kelreth walked along the way not only met some bandits who bullied men and women, but even saw a few spontaneously formed small bazaars, although there was no good planning in the city, and the main building was a barracks that took up most of the urban area. There are not many places left, but they have all been built in a fairly regular two-story house, and the small market appears in a few places where the houses are more gathered, very calm and not noisy, and there are even occasional guards to maintain order, but these guards are ordinary people, and it seems that they are just similar to the existence of militia.
However, this alone made Kelrith have a good impression of this fortress, a fortress that can allow ordinary people to get along with the army is not very common in Azeroth, in fact, in many human cities, it is not always possible to see such a peaceful scene.
"Mage Kelryth!"
It was a familiar voice again, and the middle-level mage turned his head and looked at the group of people who came over expressionlessly, it was really an old man meeting recently.
"Captain Jon, I didn't expect to be able to meet you here!" Glancing at the other party indifferently, Kyris glanced at the team behind the mid-level warrior by the way, and there seemed to be a lot of fresh faces.
"I didn't expect to meet a mage on the east wall!" Jon said with a respectful salute to the mid-level mage, and then glanced at Kir with obvious coldness.
"Did you take on another mission here?" I originally wanted to send the other party away, so that I could continue to admire this barrier with peace of mind, but it seemed that the mercenary captain had no intention of walking away, and the middle-level mage had to chat.
"No, Master Kellreth, our team has now moved their headquarters to Stratholme, this time to see if there's any work on the East Wall. ”
Forced to smile, Jon subconsciously glanced behind him, in order to pull the rock team over, almost half of the old people quit the rock, and in several tasks after arriving at Stratholme, they lost part of the team members during the run-in period, and now the entire rock team is almost new.
"Oh, I hope you can have a better development!" Glancing at the dozen pairs of eyes that were quietly waiting for him behind the other party, Kyrreth nodded at Kiel, turned and walked towards the barracks in the fortress.
It's just that the mercenary captain doesn't seem to intend to give up this hard-won coincidence, and hurriedly walked a few steps to the side of the mid-level mage, and just wanted to lean over, he was stopped by Kiel, and looked at the shadow man and shook the dagger in his hand, so he had to wave his hand anxiously.
"Master Kelryth, our Rock Squad now covers the entire Stratholme, so you can always say hello if you need to!"
After speaking, the mercenary captain glanced at the middle-level mage who didn't seem to hear at all, moved his mouth, made a noble salute, and turned around and left with the team members.
"Hmph! Hyena for a day, hyena for life!"
Before the mercenary captain had gone far, he heard Kiel say something coldly, and then his body trembled violently, and his hands were clenched and paused, as if to suppress the continuous burst of anger, and after half a minute, Jon slowly released his fist and left without saying a word with a circle of angry eyes at Kiel.
"This Jon, it's still a little interesting," Kyrrys, who had been silent, said as he looked at the group of people who were moving away, touching his chin.
"My lord, in the mercenary world, this kind of reneging on a promise will be done a second time if you do it once, just like a hyena that has tasted blood, and you will never be able to turn back..."
"Besides, I always feel like I'm going to run into it again. ”
Glancing thoughtfully at Kiel, the mid-rank mage didn't say anything more.
The two of them walked to the north corner of the fortress without saying a word, almost with a straight line between the east and west points as the dividing line, and the north side, which occupies nearly three-quarters of the entire city, is a barracks, except for a part of the buildings as a barrier, a long wooden fence is crossed outside the barracks.
Kyris didn't plan to go inside and visit, he was just a mid-level mage, and he was a scum in front of thousands of mid-level paladins, and even if he became Baron Stratholme, he was just a bigger scum.
Standing casually by the fence, Kelreth poked inside, but everywhere he looked, there was an empty barracks, not even a ghost, and he frowned and looked at it for a long time before he said to Kiel on the side.
"Why don't you even have a ghost, is this the barracks of the Silver Hand?"
After watching the mage probe for a long time, he suddenly heard the other party's culture, and the Shadow One grinned.
"My lord, it turns out that you came here to see the silver hand in the barracks!" After speaking, Kiel turned his head to look at the barracks and nodded in a random direction.
"Over there, my lord, you perceive it. ”
"Enchantment?" The mid-level mage followed the Shadow One's line of defense and looked to the far right of the barracks, where a huge barrier enveloped almost one-fifth of the barracks.
"It's such a subtle enchantment, there are almost no mana fluctuations!"
The spiritual power rushed over, but it didn't break in recklessly, it was only a slight contact, it was just a layer of phantom enchantment, and because the range of the arrangement was very large, it was extremely fragile, and a slightly stronger energy impact would break it, so the middle-level mage didn't notice it at first.
"It seems to have been developed from World War II, even if a complete barracks fortress is built, this kind of enchantment will be arranged in the most core place, although it is not clear about the loss, but it seems that the enveloping scope of this enchantment is far beyond the ordinary enchantment, which is very suitable for the needs of a large area such as the barracks. ”
Watching Kyris retract his mental power and really open his eyes, Kiel slowly added an explanation.
Nodding slightly, Kyris suddenly took a step back, and a ball of holy light flames rose under his feet without warning, and when he turned his head, dozens of paladins with holy flames all over his body appeared, most of them were two-handed giant hammers, and a few of them held two-handed broadswords, which surrounded the two of them in an instant.
"Wait! I'm Baron Stratholme, Kerris Junior!"
Staring at the mid-level paladins who were like little suns, the mage instantly gave up his plan to break through, surrounded by this kind of unbeatable Xiaoqiang, except for being drowned alive, Kyris couldn't think of a second way to die, but he had no malicious intentions, and he was also a rightful Baron Stratholme.
"Kyris Junior?" the thick nasal voice rushed straight into Kyris with a natural coercion, and it immediately reminded Kyris of the Naga priestess!
Legendary Paladin!
Bowing his head slightly, the mid-level mage shouted in his heart!
