Chapter Seventy-One: The Night Watchman

The space inside the cave is very large, and it can accommodate ten people in parallel, even if it is a team of more than 1,000 people, it does not seem crowded. After about an hour's walk down from the Devil's Throat, an underground military fortress embedded in the rock suddenly appeared. Judging from the ancient architectural style, the age of this fortress can be traced back to a thousand years ago, and it should be a remnant of the war between humans and demons at that time.

El's eyesight was the best, and he noticed from a distance that the guards patrolling back and forth on the walls of the fortress did not seem to be ordinary characters, they were clad in black cloaks, looked well-trained, and looked more like an army than a robber.

Roger's behavior also confirmed his suspicions, and he stepped forward alone, took out a token from his bosom and handed it to the guards guarding the gate, and after a while, the gates of the fortress slowly opened. It doesn't seem to be his territory, but by another mysterious force.

"There's something wrong with these people. Lolana hid behind El and whispered, "There shouldn't be a formed regular army here in the brown hills, they look like private soldiers of a big family......

"It seems that Roger and they are not in the same group, otherwise it would be much more convenient and faster to directly rely on the strength of this force than to hire us to do things at a large price. El carefully observed the situation of the defenders in the fortress, and he noticed that the soldiers were dressed like the black knights of Pros, and their bodies naturally exuded a hint of fierceness.

The brown soil hills are extremely stressed about water resources, and many aborigines only have the opportunity to bathe once in their lives, so the smell of their bodies can be imagined. However, the soldiers here take care of themselves very cleanly, and they look more elaborate than the knights of ordinary lords. Judging by their appearance, there doesn't seem to be a shortage of supplies.

"General El, let me introduce you. At this time, Roger came over with a middle-aged man in armor and introduced El, "This is the commander of the Night's Watch, General Brown Hank from the Order of Truth. ”

"Everything in the world is illusory, but the truth lives forever. May the truth guide your path, General El. Brown Hank held out a hand to his chest and bowed slightly. ”

"Truth Society?" El suddenly felt that the name was a little familiar, and before he could sense it, Lolana behind him had already spread her hands, and she was about to throw the colorful potion test tubes between her fingers.

"Wait a minute!" El hurriedly grabbed Lorana's hand, took her back a few steps, and asked Roger sharply, "Mr. Roger, didn't you say that you would collude with the truth!" At this time, he also recalled what the so-called truth would be, and his heart suddenly became cold.

"Where do you start with that?" Roger couldn't help but frown as he glanced at General Hank inexplicably, "The Night's Watch has been stationed here for thousands of years, and the purpose is to guard the ruins of an ancient city-state polluted by demonic power. And...... Shouldn't the Society of Truth be the embodiment of justice in the Kingdom of Oakland?"

General Hank looked at the fried Rolana, frowned and pondered for a moment, and asked with some uncertainty: "I see that you also have the mark of a disciple of the Truth Society, which master are you a disciple of, and what has happened to the Truth Society over the years?"

Although Roger and General Hank had blank expressions on their faces, out of caution, El raised his hand and motioned for his troops to slowly gather, in fact, they never let their guard down along the way. Both the robber and the night watchman sensed the tension in the air and couldn't help but clench their weapons in their hands.

Roger thought for a moment and whispered two words in General Hank's ear, and General Hank nodded, with a look of sudden realization on his face. He spread his hands and took a few steps forward, signaling that he had no intention of going to war, and looked at El and said in a deep voice: "Istarons, I have heard the prophecy about the apostles, and I know that someone wanted to splash dirty water on your heads, but that was decades ago. I've been here for thirty-two years, a night watchman, since I was seventeen, and we don't care about anything on the ground. ”

"The prophecy has been fulfilled, and it was your messenger of the Society of Truth who summoned the apostles to destroy Istalen. El blocked the nervous Lolana and Palanti with both hands, and said to General Hank with a cold face: "You don't know what's going on on the ground? Because of the arrival of the apostles, Isttalon was completely destroyed, and plagues and plagues swept from the north. Why do you think we're bringing refugees to this hellish place, because there's no one left to stop this catastrophe! and it's all good that your truth will do!"

"This can't be!" Hearing El's questioning, General Hank's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously looked at Roger beside him, who just shrugged his shoulders and said, "This has nothing to do with me, but they do carry a large number of refugees......"

"It doesn't look like this guy is acting. Lolana hid behind El and whispered, "If he really had ulterior motives, he wouldn't have told him the identity of the Truth Society so simply. ”

"Then what are you doing with such an appearance of facing a great enemy?" El asked angrily, if it weren't for Lorana's sudden battle stance, the current atmosphere would not have been tense.

"The grudge between Isttalon and the Truth Society is not a matter of a day or two, and I am afraid that only you, the temporary general who has raised the line of fire, do not know the inside story. If we don't have any reaction, that's an abnormal reaction...... Only by scaring the snake like this can you test their bottom line. Lolana replied in a low voice with a strained face.

On the other side, General Hank raised his hand and waved it twice, and the night watch soldiers who had quietly gathered around suddenly relaxed and dispersed. He walked up to El, held out a hand to him, and said, "General El, I think we both need to know each other better. We Night's Watch have been stationed here for millennia, and our blades are directed at demons rather than fellow humans. If the purpose of your trip is to destroy the demonic powers, then we might as well sit down and talk and clear up the unpleasant misunderstanding. ”

"I'm not very interested in demons, it's just a deal. El looked at Roger, who was standing on the sidelines smiling and silent, and couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, waved his troops to contact the alert, and then he reached out and shook General Hank's hand.

"Very well, I think we need to have a toast and relax, don't we?" Roger patted General Hank on the shoulder and put his hand on the hands of both men. (Go read OM) (Jiangsu.com)
