Chapter 4 The Castle of Immortality
Silver-eyed Cross, this is a title that most people in the Earl's Court once only dared to say behind their backs.
These people had long been arguing about whether Cross was the Earl's biological son, after all, the silver-eyed Cross and his blue-eyed father had already shown a great difference in physical signs.
With the exposure of Cross's life experience, coupled with the unique and special sign of Silver Eye, Silver Eye Cross soon became the hottest topic of conversation among people in the territory after dinner. And this title has spread throughout the Klein Territory.
Even the surrounding region, as well as the Kingdom of Seatta, have some knowledge of this title.
Since Cross has no inheritance, the plan to use the resurrection of the corpse to take control of Klein's territory is nonsense. However, judging by the content of the letter, the Endless Reincarnation organization is well prepared for this plan.
Creating chaos?
Thinking of this, Cross immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.
Endless reincarnation can indeed seize the opportunity of Earl Crane's death and the young age of the heir to create chaos in the territory, and then achieve its goal step by step.
The situation is urgent, time is pressing, and Cross must return to the territory as soon as possible.
......
Food, daggers, and 5 potions of mana, all of which Cross took out of the hut in a black cloak.
It's easy to get disoriented when moving around at night, especially in the woods. However, Cross learned a lot at the Imperial Military Academy, and it was very easy for him to judge the direction based on the terrain. Moreover, he also knew very well that the secret residence of the necromancer was not far from the castle of Buluo.
This night walk made Cross feel the power of the bloodline more intuitively, the speed and reaction became significantly faster, and his physical strength was also enhanced, and he didn't feel tired and weak even after running for a while, and the power of the bloodline has made Cross surpass ordinary people.
......
After a period of trekking, he saw the flat land, however, he also saw the fire everywhere.
It is impossible for such a large-scale fire to occur in the deserted frontier, unless, it is the army of the enemy country!
The Castle of Bunlo is under attack from a foreign enemy!
Cross's brows furrowed slightly, he knew that Buluobao was in trouble this time.
It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the enemy country will not attack easily, but this time, the enemy country has dispatched a large number of troops, and it is inevitable to win. Apparently, there was a problem inside the fort.
Cross ran out of time, and he couldn't return to his hometown if the castle wasn't captured.
After all, the sign of Silver Eye is too special to pass the inspection of enemy guards.
He had only one option now, and that was to enter the Bunlo Fort before the two sides officially went to war.
Cross began to run down the mountain......
However, before he reached the foot of the mountain, the shouts of killing came, and the battle between the two sides began!
Cross was shocked: It's over! The commander of the Bunloch Castle is so ignorant that he would abandon the tall and solid barrier and rush the enemy on the flat ground, in this case, the Bunlo Forts will be breached tonight.
......
Finally, Cross left the Dusk Mountains, and the battle in the distance was nearing its end, and the Kingdom of Seatta was victorious......
Nearby, several fires were moving towards them. Cross immediately hid behind a tree to observe.
The light of the fire was closer, and this time, he could see clearly, three soldiers holding torches and swords, chasing after one unarmed soldier in front of him.
"Surrender! The Fort of Bunfall has been captured by us, and you have nowhere to escape!"
The three pursuers were obviously Seajarda's soldiers, and the one who fled to the front was naturally the defender of the fort.
Undistracted by his pursuers, the deserter continued on his way, in the direction of Cross.
Suddenly, the deserter fell to the ground, perhaps physically exhausted or tripping over a rock, and he reluctantly slammed his right fist on the ground, cursing, "Damn!"
There was unwillingness and helplessness in his tone, he didn't want to surrender, but in the current situation, it seemed that he could only choose to surrender.
The three pursuers quickly caught up, but at this moment, Cross jumped out. He lunged at the nearest enemy, and the dagger in his hand pierced the throat of the opponent in an instant, and the latter was killed instantly.
He snatched the long sword from the opponent's hand and slashed straight at another enemy, aiming at the throat again, this time, Cross did not control the force, and the enemy's head was directly cut off.
The rest of the enemy only reacted at this time, but it was too late.
Cross killed three of Seajarda's soldiers in just a few seconds, and he was like a moonlit ghost, eerie and terrifying.
All this was seen by the soldier who fell to the ground.
"Huang ...... Yellow...... Dusk...... The Devil of the Mountains !!"
Cross didn't speak, he walked straight up to the soldier and pressed his sword against the latter's neck, the undried blood dripping from the blade of the sword to the soldier's throat. The soldier shuddered.
Cross took off his hood and said, "Why did you run away?"
The cold tone was full of murderous aura, and for a while, the soldier was so frightened that he couldn't speak, until he saw those silver eyes.
"Lord Cross!?" the soldier's emotions became agitated, "I'm Gawain!
Cross withdrew his sword and said, "Gawain, who fought with me when I was a kid?"
"I didn't expect you to remember, Lord Cross. ”
Cross picks up the fallen torch and observes the soldier who calls himself Gawain, confirming that it is indeed Gawain.
Gawain used to be one of Cross's childhood playmates, and because he was very timid, Cross still had some impressions of him.
"Why are you here?" Cross stopped reprimanding Gawain for desertion, which would be strange if Gawain didn't run away.
"Lord Cross, I'll tell you about these things later, the enemy sweeping the battlefield will soon find us, and we need to get out of here as soon as possible. ”
"Where are you going?"
"Copper Mountain Town. ”
Cross was a little surprised by Gawain's answer.
The town of Copper Mountain is located in the western part of Klein Territory, close to the Dusk Mountains, and was named Copper Mountain Town due to the town's abundance of copper mines.
It's just that now that this situation is going to reach Tongshan Town, it is obvious that you can't take the route of Buluobao, so the only route left is to cross the Dusk Mountains.
This also explains why Gawain fled here. Moreover, once in the Twilight Mountains, the enemy will not continue to pursue, and the sinister nature of the Twilight Mountains is better known to the people of Seatta.
Gawain's idea is really good.
It's just, can anyone really make it through the Dusk Mountains alive? Cross was extremely skeptical.
"The idea of crossing the Twilight Mountains is crazy, do you have anything to prepare? ”
Gawain stood up, took out a piece of parchment from his leather armor and handed it to Cross, "Your Excellency, this is the road map. ”
"Has anyone walked this road?"
"I didn't ...... There is no ......"
"Why did you choose Copperhill? The closest to us should be Blackwater. ”
"Your Excellency, do you know that Blackwater Town has been captured by the rebels, and the rebels' minions have not yet touched the town of Tongshan, and that it is my fiefdom. ”
"Rebels?
"I don't know. ”
Cross frowned, he didn't expect the situation to be so serious, and Klein Ling was facing internal and external troubles.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his legs, and after a scream, he collapsed to the ground.
