The night is over.

Between the Red Dragon Mountains, there is a majestic giant fortress, which completely seals the valley and creates an absolutely impassable acquired barrier, the fierce red dragon group in the mountain range lacks the ability to take off, there are no cliffs, these strong people will be permanently away from the sky after landing and become a detached dragon, so the enemies of the fortress are only on the east and west sides.

William Acewood climbed onto the cage, which began to sway as the soles of his feet farther and farther off the ground, and he could feel the cold of the metal through the mole skin gloves.

It's summer at the moment, but to the north outside the fortress is the cold air flow from the side of the Three Kingdoms of Magic, because the Red Dragon Mountain Range blocks the cold wave from the front south, it is low all year round, and the night is unusually cold.

The iron cage is higher than the tower, and it continues to rise, the sentry fort is on the left, and the eagle tower is on the right, but both buildings are covered with rubble, and the walls have long since collapsed, and the northern fortress has applied to the central center of the royal capital for three repairs last year, which makes the captain's mansion even more gorgeous, and in the northeast of the kingdom, the wealth of Dalio Acewood is well known.

William came to the city wall large enough for eight horses to run side by side, relying on this magnificent fortress, the 2,000 soldiers of the Blackstone Legion silenced the kings of the northern part of the disputed land, but this also had something to do with the lack of gold content of the so-called "king".

The soldiers saluted on one knee, and in this fortress, the Esswood family was everything, and the only son of Dalio in front of him was even more honored under one person.

"My lord, it's dangerous to climb the walls."

Behind William, a man with a stubby figure and a withered face said, he had lost one ear, his hair was messy like a bird's nest soaked in muddy water, and instead of a long sword, two double-edged short axes hung on his waist, he was only covered in leather armor, which was far less powerful than the little young master, and the other party's shining silver armor could echo the moonlight even in the middle of the night.

"Why, did the movement scare you?" William chuckled, "If you're afraid of the dark, go back to sleep, Mr. Chief Knight." ”

The man pursed his lips, anger flowing clearly from his gray eyes, before Dalio came here, he was the knight of the tent who was to be plugged, and his nearly sixty years of seniority did not make the other party happy.

Dwarf Danzo, ninety-four years old this year, has not yet passed half of his long life, loves and is proficient in hand-to-hand combat, a saint-level warrior, and one of the two strongest combat forces in the Northern Fortress.

"Please pay attention to the wording, I am not a servant of House Acewood, the Rock Tribe and the fortress will coexist forever, you are only a rotating person for a period of long history."

"Then come and cut off my head."

William fearlessly climbed the city wall and looked down, the dragon-like torches flickering in the darkness, the total number was about six hundred, and when they converged, the open space to the west of the fortress seemed to be illuminated.

In the glow of the fire, William saw his father, Dalio, with a solemn face as usual, and the high-ranking officers who had gone out to attend the prince's wedding, who were laughing and scolding at each other as usual, regardless of the occasion.

But something is wrong.

William watched the basket gradually go up, everything was normal including the process, but the number of people in the team was too large to ignore, which was a doubt.

It wasn't until Merrier's grandfather appeared next to Dalio that William let him open the door, and he actually had a bad premonition in his heart, but even in the worst case, nothing big would happen, the war was too far away, and it was indeed his father, and there was no disguise magic in the world.

The layout of the northern fortress is not much different from that of the town, except that the houses are low and flat, and the most central place is the school field, where several rows of timber taverns are thriving all year round, and an incomparably wide road runs through the interior.

Two hundred fully armored cavalry stayed a few miles outside the city, and when Dalio led his troops into the city, he spoke directly:

"Arrest William."

The soldiers on duty stood at a loss, but the knight who had returned with the commander had stepped forward, and William stared at the face of the man in front of him, although his appearance and voice were exactly the same, he was sure that this was definitely an impostor, his father would never officially call him by his name, bastard, stupid, disgraceful were common words, this attitude that could even be called mild, only appeared in childhood.

"Enemy attack!"

Danzo held the axe, he didn't trust William as a person, but he believed in the familiarity of the Son of Man with his father.

"Legionnaire, please show me your seal."

The soldiers faltered, William's guards beat the guard drums, and a dull roar echoed, and the Blackstone Legion in the fortress suddenly woke up.

"It's really rebellious." Dalio said coldly, "Dead to the rebels." ”

While most of the soldiers on duty at the scene were still in a dilemma, the battle suddenly began, four hundred regular soldiers launched a fierce attack forward, sixty intermediate swordsmen acted as breakthrough fighters, and the whole team turned into the fangs of wild beasts to bite their prey, violently smashing the hastily formed defensive line through cracks.

The battle rose to a fever pitch in the short time after it began, and the northern fortress, which had not been baptized in blood for decades, ushered in the flames of war, and the alchemy soldiers gave full play to their own characteristics when fighting, quickly amplifying their advantages.

A mid-level soldier who rushed to the front ignored the attack that stabbed him, and several long swords pierced his torso and limbs, but as if he had lost consciousness, he swung his blade and cut off all the heads of the enemies around him, and the sword body shattered, and he drew his weapon and continued to break through.

It wasn't until a throwing axe smashed the mid-level soldier's head that he stopped his frantic charge, but immediately someone took the vacant place, and the firewood stacks and houses for heating were set on fire, and the panic intensified.

At the forefront of the resistance of the fortress army, Danzo and William guarded each other's backs, and when the war began, they were the most advanced, and naturally undertook the most ferocious raids, but fortunately, the saint-level combat power was enough to support it for a period of time, so as not to be overwhelmed by the madmen in an instant.

The short axe split the long sword from the enemy's body, Danzo gasped slightly, more than a dozen arrows were shot, William seemed to dance the shadow of the sword, and the fighting spirit of the senior swordsman was consumed by half, but he successfully shot down the arrow.

"I've changed my opinion of you."

Danzo laughed heartily and kicked out, and the mid-level soldier fell straight back, and the short axe took the opportunity to throw out, and after killing the opponent, the steel chain on the tail pulled the weapon back.

Although the little young master behind him is arrogant and rude, at least he is still like a normal soldier.

"If surrender had worked, I would have fallen to my knees a long time ago."

William pierced the eyebrows of a mid-level swordsman with his sword, but the enemy's attack also cut off a large piece of flesh and blood on his shoulder, and his fighting spirit was quickly consumed, the long sword was on the verge of shattering, and his left arm was unable to fight again, and the situation was critical tonight.

The only thing to be thankful for is that their desperate resistance is not meaningless, the Blackstone Legion has far more troops than the enemy, and as the defensive line is opened, the support is filling the hole little by little, as soon as the group of madmen show fatigue, the return attack will begin immediately.

Suddenly, the trembling fluctuations of the Great Earthquake were heard, it was the dense and heavy sound of iron hooves, hundreds of galloping horses could whip up a dust storm on the grassland, and the main force of the Scarlet Knights, led by Saint B, launched a charge, the sound was terrifying.

The distance of several miles has brought the speed of the alchemy war horses to the peak, and the powerful explosive power contained in their bodies has been vividly exerted, and the hardness of the alchemy war horses is not comparable to flesh and blood, just like two hundred heavy trucks accelerated to the limit, which is an increase in exchange for sacrificing intelligence.

The defense line was completely shattered, the screams echoed, blood flew everywhere, and the bodies of the soldiers who were hit head-on by the alchemy war horse instantly shattered into pieces of flesh, and then crushed into bloody mud under the hooves of the horses that stepped on one after another, and the brutal slaughter followed closely behind.

The cavalry bypassed Danzo and William, and Dalio tore off his face as a camouflaged person.

"This fortress is about to change hands, Dwarf Danzo, the tribe in the low mountain forest can maintain the old situation, provided that you are loyal and provide drinks and processed weapons on time, as for William Ashwood, after surrendering, I will allow you to live in Ancient Oak City in the future, of course, you are not allowed to leave."

William's face was hideous, and he stepped forward decisively, the long sword in his hand emitted a cold light, he didn't have to think about it to know that after he surrendered, he was destined to be used as a bargaining chip to restrain his father.

It's better to die.

"Coward, you're watching."

Danzo stood in place, repeatedly clenching the axe and letting go, their tribe's mission is to protect the fortress itself for five hundred years, until the future savior who can defeat the evil gods appears, the Acewood family is just a passerby in comparison, and as the leader, he needs to be responsible for the tribe, and the Blackstone Legion is gone.

Jiang Yuan pulled out the griffin sword, and the cyan light spread on it, until today, he had completed most of the accumulation of fighting energy, and his cultivation was only a few months away from the high-level swordsman, this achievement was undoubtedly quite considerable for ordinary people, but for him, the improvement was not very big.

In the same way, it doesn't matter whether the enemy is strong or not among the high-level swordsmen, only the Sword Saint level and above have a chance to pose a threat to him, and other than that, they are all slashed and killed.

William held the sword in both hands, throwing the sword behind his head, the Blackstone family Acewood arose in the Third War of Humans and Demons, the first generation of the head of the family was a rare genius who comprehended the mystery on his own, according to legend, his mount was the A-class monster Blackstone Bear, and the swordsmanship of the deduction inherited the fierceness of the Blackstone Bear.

The sword flicked, like a giant bear swinging its claws, and the force flowed from the hilt to the tip of the sword, condensing at the sharp edge, which was a way to concentrate the attack power on one point, and William was confident that the sword master should also avoid its edge, but this method was extremely strict in terms of timing and distance.

Jiang Yuan stabbed out with a sword in his hand, and the two swords collided, the griffin sword was on the right, and the tip of the sword pointed to the side of the enemy's neck, and under William's monster-like power, the tip of the sword moved, slicing most of his neck open.

Because he held the sword in both hands, his left hand pulled the extension of his right arm, and the sword grazed in front of Jiang Yuan's body, if the other party's ancestor performed the Black Stone Sword Technique, it might still be a little dangerous, but William's body was full of flaws.

After a hand-to-hand fight, the battle ends.
