Chapter 400: Leap, Blackstone Fortress
In the dark and secluded forest, Duan Lie's group walked through the forest and through the thorns, and finally found the intersection marked on the map.
At this time, at the mouth of the gorge of the two mountains, the black mountains guarded the only unique canyon artery leading to the Bilett Mountains like two huge stone giants.
The tall bushes firmly sealed the crossing, and if it weren't for the map on the skinning walker, Duan Lie was confident that even if he passed by this place, he would not have found that there was a secret intersection here.
Pulling out the branches of the trees and walking in, the first thing I saw was the surface of the mountain rocks, this passage was naturally formed, the rock walls on both sides were covered with plants such as moss and vines, and the strange peaks and strange rocks in the higher places were like a hideous monster lurking around the mountain.
The fog had dissipated, and the ancient form of the mountain was clearly revealed, and the narrow mouth of the valley stretched far away, and there was no light in sight in the dark, and from the other end of the valley mouth, there was some smell full of rancid stench and blood.
Duan Lie knew that he was not in the wrong place, and reached out to touch the slippery rock wall, and his heart was a little heavier.
Along the way, he talked and laughed with Xue Linglong, but he could never forget that she was leaving him, and with the appearance of the gorge passage, he knew that the time had come for the two to separate, and he would inevitably feel a little reluctant in his heart.
"Linglong, we're going to be separated after here, remember to take care of yourself. Duan Lie looked at Xue Linglong and said with concern.
Xue Linglong nodded, holding back her mouth to prevent herself from crying, she took Duan Lie's hand, lowered her head, and couldn't control the tears from sliding down her white cheeks, sobbing: "Brother Duan Lie, you have to take care too, I ...... I'll definitely be looking for you. Crying and crying, Xue Linglong's eyes suddenly became firm.
"If you don't come to me, I'll go to you. Duan Lie touched Xue Linglong's head, and his fingers ran through the silky black hair, remembering the warmth.
"Honorable Miss, it's time for us to go. At this moment Leeu came up out of place and made a respectful knightly salute.
Bray said, "Hey, don't you see that people are sad, they don't have any eyesight." Bray grunted, glaring at Lee disapprovingly.
Along the way, everyone did not hesitate to avoid conversations, but Lieux and Nandy didn't seem to like to talk much, which made Bray full of resentment along the way, but there was no way, who made the strength of the family boundless, and Bray still dared to be angry and dare not speak.
They were about to separate, and Lee didn't bother to answer Bray, and took a few steps back respectfully, waiting for Xue Linglong's order.
Xue Linglong wiped her tears and pretended to be strong and said, "Okay, let's go on the road." As she spoke, she took Duan Lie's little hand and suddenly tightened it a little reluctantly.
Duan Lie felt in his heart, knowing that Xue Linglong was pretending to be strong, and she was actually much stronger than the Xue Linglong he knew, which Duan Lie couldn't predict, but Xue Linglong's strength also made Duan Lie relax a little, as long as she guaranteed this mentality, she would not have an accident.
The passage at the mouth of the gorge was rugged and difficult, but fortunately there were no hateful monsters blocking the way, and the road was fairly peaceful.
After about an hour, the crowd finally passed through the rugged gorge pass, and the light suddenly became bright.
It was still late at night, but the world outside the passage was as bright as a bustling city, and the passage was above a large mountain, so that Duan Agni could clearly see the beastman vanguard camp that occupied almost the entire Bilit Mountains: the Blackstone Fortress.
That's right, the Bilit Pioneer Camp is a huge fortress on the mountain.
In front of everyone's eyes, there is a sparse forest in front of them, the dry land seems to have been watered by fire, one by one cracks, there are not many weeds on the ground, there are a few tenacious and lingering growth, in addition, there are bare black locust trees, brown trees hanging weakly on the canopy, looking without any vitality and vitality, making people feel that even if they pinch with their hands, they will turn into powder.
As far as the eye can see, there is a huge circular deep pit, which is 100 meters wide and deep, like an abyssal valley, and it is impossible to see the low.
This is the circular trap pit outside the Blackstone Fortress, the most famous pit in the Heavenly Wind Empire and the Zigir Hills, and it is a miracle dug by hundreds of thousands of berserkers. With this pit, the orcs can guarantee that the human legion will not be able to enter the Blackstone Fortress in a short time, so this pit is known as the Savage Abyss.
Behind the barbaric abyss, there is a centuries-old black stone fortress, it is completely built on the highest mountain range in Bilit, using pit excavation technology and geographical topography to form a huge black fortress, the highest place of this fortress can reach two thousand meters above sea level, the lowest is the outer barbaric abyss, can reach one thousand meters into the ground, the entire fortress is built on the local materials of the mountain, and the fortress is connected to the outer woodland is only three stone bridges about ten meters wide.
These three stone bridges were the only way to reach the Bilette Mountains and the Blackstone Fortress, and other than that, only the Emperors of War like Leigh and Nandi crossed with the ability to fly.
In the centuries-long war between the Heavenly Wind Empire and Zigill, there really hasn't been a single War Emperor joining the battle, after all, these two major forces can't have a War Emperor.
On the blackstone fortress, the light emitted by countless torches and furnaces illuminates the entire world of the orcs as bright as day, and on the rough mountain road in the distance, one by one the berserkers are connected by iron chains to push the huge ore carts to climb hard; the berserkers in armor are the overseers of the legion, and they use the black whips in their hands to mercilessly whip the orcs who are slaves and do not have the ability to fight, resounding throughout the mountains; several huge brutal orcs are only one head shorter than the stone giants, carrying huge stones around the mountain road with difficulty, and throwing into some unknown mountain potholes; often at this time, there will be excited cheers in the mountains, full of wild roars and the crisp sound of the whip in the prison army, formed the unique rhythm of life among the beastmen......
Killing, brutal, ruthless, ruthless......
These synonyms of the beast people are vividly reflected in the Blackstone Fortress.
In the field of the fortress, there are several extraordinarily bright travertine furnaces, which are famous natural casting furnaces, which are specially designed to provide ordnance support for hundreds of thousands of armies of the berserkers, among all the races in the War Spirit Continent, only the berserkers can open the natural casting furnace anywhere, almost with the army, and open it wherever they go, although the casting process of the berserkers is not perfect, and even called it rough, even human wartors disdain to use it, but after all, the army of the orcs is quite large, and they use natural furnaces composed of mountains and fires to ensure that hundreds of thousands or even millions of armies will not lack weapons and armorγ
Looking at the huge natural fortress, Duan Lie, the three elite students who had never even stepped out of the Heavenly Wind Empire, were instantly stunned, although they had heard of the huge scale of the Beast Man Clan's territory before, but the real experience still deeply shocked them.
At this time, Xue Linglong's voice rang out: "The beast people created by King Walma, the high priest who believes in the god of destruction, have brought too many sins to the world, they should not have appeared here, alas, ......"
Duan Lie and the three of them looked at Xue Linglong, there was an inexplicable change in their eyes, you know, there were many versions of the existence of the beast people a long time ago, some said that they were a race abandoned by the gods, some said that the wild beastmen were cursed by the evil spirit king, of course, there was also the statement of the high priest King Woma, but there was no rational evidence to determine the origin of the beastmen.
Xue Linglong's words seemed to be full of reason, and even revealed his knowledge of the beast race, Duan Lie was a little puzzled, what was the identity of Xue Linglong he knew?
Looking at Duan Lie's gaze, Xue Linglong seemed to sense the meaning of doubt, and said with a shallow smile: "I only learned recently, what they have in their bodies is the blood of mad demons, Brother Duan Lie, you have to be careful." β
Duan Lie nodded and said, "Let's separate here." β
Xue Linglong looked at him with reluctant eyes, and finally agreed: "Okay, I'll let Lee and Nandy give you a ride, and then we will separate." β
As she spoke, Xue Linglong looked at Lieux and Nanty.
Nanti, who had not spoken all this time, finally made Duan Lie and the three of them feel honored to speak, and she refused: "Honorable Miss, please forgive us for not being able to follow your orders, this time to Zigil, we have a very important mission, if we let Neil know that we have helped the human race, maybe he will not hand over what we want." β
"Human?" Bray grinned angrily, "Hey, according to you, we're human, aren't you?"
This time, Duan Lie and Eric did not stop Bray, after all, what he said was still very reasonable, and Nandi's words deliberately distinguished the relationship between the three of them and them, which was a bit too bullying.
However, just after Bray finished speaking, Lieux and Nanty cast a murderous gaze at the same time, and Lieux said in a deep voice: "Ignorant human, we don't need to explain to you. β
Duan Lie frowned, and was about to speak, when suddenly Xue Linglong stopped him, shook his head, and sighed, "That's right, they are indeed not humans. β
"Huh?"
This brainless answer made Duan Lie and the three of them stunned for a moment, and they looked carefully for a long time, but they didn't find any difference between Lieu and Nandi and the three of them, so they were even more puzzled.
Xue Linglong did not explain this, but ordered Rieux and Nanti: "It shouldn't be difficult to fly over the stone bridge with him only, just drop them down on that mountain." β
Lee and Nandy looked at each other and finally nodded, so Nandi flew up from the mountains with Duan Lie and Xue Linglong, and Lee with Bray and Eric.
