Chapter 49: Returning Home
readx;? Bryan, a great fortress built by humans in the Dark Regions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is also a strong fortress against the invasion of the underworld, preventing evil races, including the Dark Elves and Mind Flayers, from threatening peace on the ground, even though it has never been.
Combined with the unique geographical environment of the surrounding area, coupled with the impregnable defense system, this fortress has not fallen for nearly a hundred years. The tens of thousands of garrisons stationed in the fortress have become a solid guarantee for the fortress...
Yasin in the past was also one of them.
Of course, this does not mean that the fortress is foolproof, at least the natives of the Shadows have always regarded it as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh. Even the more moderate races are not pleasing to the eye, and there have been many battles against these fortresses in history, most of which have failed, but some of them have succeeded in demolishing them...
Today's Blaine Fortress has been rebuilt from the ruins...
And as mentioned earlier, considering that the underground world has a lot of resources that are not available above, this is actually a relatively lush fortress city.
At least in a relatively safe area close to the fortress, some adventurers or others who don't look like soldiers can be seen.
It's just that when they saw Yasen, these people all showed surprised eyes.
"Is this guy coming back from outside by himself?" said a young man who looked like an archer in the middle of the road.
Next to him, his companions also looked at him in amazement, as if they were looking at some kind of monster.
After all, the Dark Regions are not a children's paradise, and danger can arise at any time. Even if the perimeter has been cleared, there is a possibility of danger, so adventurers who go out usually go in groups, and few people go alone...
So of course, Yasen, who was alone and wearing a robe, looked very conspicuous in the eyes of everyone...
Fortunately, there are not many people on the main road, otherwise I am afraid that Yasen will be onlookers. And after seeing the Bryant Fortress from afar, Yasin couldn't help but be a little excited.
"It's finally back!"
"Stop!"
Just when Yasin was moving, a scolding brought him back to his senses. Not far from him, several soldiers were looking at him with wary expressions, and the first one, who looked like an officer, walked up with a look of confusion and wariness.
"Please identify yourself, and please take off your hood..."
The officer seemed to be quite smart, and knew that he could walk around alone outside, and that he was not usually easy to mess with. So despite the suspicion written on the face, at least the tone is polite.
But the soldiers behind him looked nervous, their spears clenched tightly in both hands.
"It's still the same as before...", glancing at the somewhat poorly equipped soldiers, Yasin sighed slightly.
In the eyes of the world, Brian, who has tens of thousands of troops, is undoubtedly very strong.
But in fact, this is not the case, at least Yasen, who once served here, knows very well that this fortress is not as glamorous as it is rumored. This can be seen from the equipment of the soldiers in front of them, who are wearing some tattered leather armor, which is likely to have experienced several owners before and after. The wall of the spear in his hand was very shiny, but the barrel of the spear was faintly rusty.
There was also the very polite officer, and the armor on his body also looked a little shabby.
Lack of people, lack of money, this is the biggest difficulty for Brian today.
The long-term confrontation has made Brian have been short of manpower. Tens of thousands of garrisons, a lot, but the Dark Realm is not just an underground space, it's more like a vast world. Countless dungeons and clans make it as powerful as the surface.
It's just that there are many contradictions between the dark elves, gray dwarves and mind slayers, and infighting has become a daily routine, so there is no way to unite...
As for the money, or rather, the money ...
Don't forget, it's useless to have people alone, you also need money to get equipment.
If it weren't for the fact that Fort Bryne had been developing commerce over the years, and could have received a lot of taxes from some merchants and adventurers, I am afraid that many of those tens of thousands of garrisons would have to fight the enemy empty-handed.
As for the kingdoms on the surface, they are more willing to invest their money in pleasure or foreign wars.
After all, there had been no major movement in the Dark Regions for nearly a hundred years, which was already a few generations for many human kingdoms. Even some countries with frequent successions have had several kings...
This is long enough time to make people forget the horrors and threats of the dark regions.
Nowadays, the only ones I remember are elves, dwarves and other long-lived species.
ββββββ Dividing Lineββββββ
After the emotion, Yasin also knew what he should do now.
Although he does have a little strength now, he is still a little short in front of Blaine Fortress. After all, this fortress is one of the strongest fortresses of the human race in the dark region, and it is not for nothing that it can hold on for nearly a hundred years without falling, and it is definitely not something that he, a guy who can barely count as level 4, can shake...
So after hesitating, Yasin lifted his hood.
"Sir, I'm Captain Manan's subordinate, Private Yasen..." "I'm finally back..."
"[Black Sword] Marne?" The officer was taken aback, Manan was a well-known swordsman in the patrol force. Half a year ago, during a patrol mission, the entire team was wiped out, which caused quite a stir in the fortress.
After all, there are often conflicts, but it has not happened for a long time since the whole army was annihilated.
Later, the fortress once sent people out to find some clues, but they found nothing. Now that a person suddenly appeared and said that he was Manan's subordinate, it was no wonder that the officer was so surprised.
And...
After Yasin took off his hood, the half-length armor hidden under his robe also faintly revealed. Whether it is the light flashing on it, or the exquisite patterns, it is by no means suitable for ordinary officers, and even some noble knights may not have such exquisite armor.
So he didn't trust Yasen's status as a private.
However, he also knew that this matter was not up to him, so after a pause, he nodded. "Okay, I'll report back to the top later, now please come with me, we need to register with the city defense army first..."
Yasin nodded cooperatively, and did not embarrass the officer, which also made the officer breathe a sigh of relief.
