Suspended directly above the Crystal Pit, the massive Aerial Fortress is a marvelous facility that looks like a small town, with an inverted cone-shaped base and two sturdy ring-shaped walls, with dozens of magic towers between the two walls providing shields for the entire fortress.It is majestic, but of course there are many flaws, and even Hao Ren can see that the design of this fortress is very rudimentary: it simply moves the ground fortress to the sky and adds a large number of attack batteries, and there is not even an escort formation, and the anti-aircraft fire is also arranged in a mess.It can only be said to be powerful on this planet, but it is far from invincible, this behemoth created by the people of Holletta is only the germ of some kind of idea, and it is still a long way from a full-fledged strategic application.Regardless, the Aerial Fortress is still an exciting creation.With Ofrah's introduction, everyone learned about the construction process of the Aerial Fortress.The foundation of Hodisius comes from the Dragon's Back Mountains: after the collapse of the main peak of that mountain range, the rest of the peaks on the mountain are also crumbling, so the Pope boldly uses magic to cut off the summit of one of the peaks, turning it completely upside down as the base of Hodisius, and then transferring the entire peak to the crystal mine for processing.The pit was locked down for nearly a month, and countless skilled magicians, led by twelve kingdom magisters, entered the pit and rebuilt the mountain like the most ordinary mason, without any ordinary workers involved in the construction process to ensure confidentiality.A month later, a few days ago, the magical fog above the crystal pit was lifted, and Hodicius rose into the sky, shocking the world.It was precisely because of the ascension of Hoditheus that the great impact it brought finally shook the upper echelons of the returning sect, which allowed the cunning heretics to be exposed, and the knights were finally shocked to discover that the heretics were hiding in the mountains to the west.Perhaps even the Radiant Pope and the twelve Magisters who created Hodisius could not have imagined that the first battle this Aerial Fortress faced after its ascension would be a holy war between the Radiant Cult and the Infidels, and that the battle would break out right next to the Crystal Pit.This is what was once the Holy Lake, the place where Hoditheus finished his final assembly, the western fortress of the Church, and at the same time the edge of the Holy Land of the Werewolf Tribal State and the laid-back of the infidels - who would have believed that these things would come together without experiencing it firsthand?
While the church was shocked that there was a pagan lair hiding under his nose, Hao Ren also had deep doubts about the conspiracy of the returnees and the brain monsters.In any case, it takes a lot of courage to hide in such a place, and the risk is always equal to the reward, and the greater the risk that the returnees are willing to take, the more amazing what they are trying to do - so Hao Ren did not feel much more relieved by the abundance of combat power after seeing Hodisius, but became more worried.Facing a floating city suspended above him, he did not escape, which meant that the plans and dependencies of those infidels were enough to counteract the oppressive force brought by the floating city.The officers and soldiers of the Knights stationed on Hoditius were immersed in a state of high morale, and it was difficult to say how many commanders could calm down and think about these hidden dangers, but Opra must have been vigilant.After leading the group on a brief tour of the fortress, she led the group to the command post of the Floating City, preparing to discuss the attack on the Holy Mountain.Hoditius had a simple structure of two walls, a ring of barracks, a ring of anti-aircraft ballistas, and an inner layer of training grounds, griffon platforms, weapons depots, and magic furnaces, while the command post was located in the center of the floating city, and it looked down on two-thirds of the fortress from a high man-made knoll.In the command post, Hao Ren and the others saw the commanders here, some of whom were still familiar faces: the old werewolf Elson, the mosaic-faced Archbishop of Auburn, Prince Haverman, the chief thinker of the king's side, and several other heads of the kingdom or high-ranking members of the church who had communicated with each other.In the face of other unfamiliar faces, Hao Ren and his entourage also nodded and greeted each other - anyway, whether they know each other or not, just pretend to be very familiar, this occasion is basically a place to pretend to know each other and then pretend to be enthusiastically supportive.There was a meeting going on inside the command post, and as soon as Hao Ren and his group of "outsiders" came in, the scene of course immediately quieted down.Opra took this opportunity to point to a stout man next to the table and introduced, "This is the leader of Uruk from the werewolf tribal country, and he and his wolf cavalry must lead the way to enter the holy mountain. ”Hao Ren's gaze suddenly fell on the werewolf leader.He was one of the most striking men in the scene, not only was he tall and large, but he also wore a very different style from the Horleta people, with a rough structure of clothes trimmed with leather trims, and a necklace made of animal teeth hanging around his neck, which made him look like a fierce and brave nomadic leader.Uruk was currently in a werewolf form, the black stiff hair on his cheeks and the wolf ears on the top of his head made him look hideous and rough, and when he saw Hao Ren, he grinned and revealed a row of sharp and shining teeth: "So the person we were waiting for has finally arrived—do you have a way to let ordinary people into the mountain?"
”Hao Ren nodded: "I have a protective crystal that can allow ordinary people to resist the mind control of brain monsters. ”Uruk nodded, stood up and walked out: "Okay, let's go." ”Hao Ren was waiting to discuss the matter of entering the army with someone, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him would be such a bachelor, and he was a little dumbfounded on the spot: "Eh, wait a minute—let's go?"
Don't negotiate the details?
”"The details have been discussed," Uruk pointed to the Holleta people on the scene, "the soldier is very fast, this is the best way to solve all problems."
And we werewolves don't like outsiders to stay too long in our own sacred mountains, and the sooner this matter is resolved, the better. ”After saying this, Uruk walked out of the door by himself, leaving Hao Ren and they looked at each other, Lily raised her hand and wanted to say hello to her fellow countryman, but she didn't find a chance to interject: "Why is he so angry?"
”"He's like that," Opra rubbed her eyebrows, "don't mind, werewolves are actually quite easy to get along with, and so is Uruk, but he's a little bit of a special case.I've dealt with him a lot, and he'll be out there and waiting. ”Elson beckoned to Hao Ren: "Don't bother with that kid, his daughter-in-law gave him two days - come, I'll tell you the route in the mountain." ”Hao Ren wanted to ask what "daughter-in-law will give two days" meant, but this occasion was obviously inappropriate, so he could only lead everyone to look at the map honestly.As the group stood in a circle at the conference table, Elson tapped the table, and a map in the center of the table immediately came to life, like a shrunken earth, with clouds and mountains in shape.Seeing this, Doudou immediately jumped out of Hao Ren's collar - she thought that the water on the map was real......
The little mermaid slapped on the table with a snap, Hao Ren quickly grabbed her and stuffed her back into her clothes, and nodded awkwardly to the people around her: "Hehe, continue, continue to ......"
Elson shook his hand disapprovingly, pointing to the snow-capped mountain in the center of the map: "This is the sacred mountain of our werewolves......"
Hao Ren had heard the name of "holy mountain" more than once, and naturally asked Ovra about it out of curiosity.He knew that the Holy Mountain was a vital sacred place for the werewolf tribal state, many years ago, the werewolves migrated from the south to the west of the continent due to a plague, and after crossing the Holy Mountain, the plague that permeated their tribe was miraculously eliminated, so the werewolf ancestors at that time believed that this magical mountain sheltered their people, so they called it the Holy Mountain.As the years passed, the plague had become an unnoticed event in the history books, and the sanctity of the sacred mountain became more and more unshakable among the werewolf tribes.The werewolves did not allow outsiders to set foot on the sacred mountain, because they believed that the sacred mountain had been helping the werewolves to ward off calamities for thousands of years, and that if outsiders stepped into the mountain, they would destroy the "sacred barrier" and allow the various calamities that had been blocked by the sacred mountain to return.In order to protect the Holy Mountain, the Werewolf Tribal State maintains a powerful force of wolf cavalry, which has not been slackened for thousands of years - but they did not expect that there would be a heretic who would be able to avoid the nose of the wolf cavalry and lie dormant in the depths of the Holy Mountain for so long.
