The gate of sorrow.
A military fortress built on the hillside and cliffs. The cold wind is freezing through the hard and towering city wall. The steel gate almost integrated with the wall is enough to intercept most of the legions. The most deadly thing is that in front of the fortress, there is only one winding road called frost road leading to the hillside, steep and narrow, covered with countless white bones.
Looking down from a high altitude, the mountain range where the gate of sorrow is located is the tail of the spread of renwal mountain range. In addition to this mountain road, other directions are mountains covered with snow all year round. Cold weather and difficult roads are natural barriers, which are enough to break any idea of Legion advancement.
More than ten years ago, the Legion of the elanfaro empire was able to capture this military fortress. It is said that there were insiders and the action under the legendary crown. Only then did it succeed, but it also left countless wrongs.
Unfortunately, the final victory belonged to the stoke Kingdom, which achieved the reputation of the patriotic war, and also caused heavy damage to the southern legion of the aranfalo empire.
The reason for the victory was precisely because of the legendary move of the Ailan Faroe Empire, which led to the vertical and horizontal cooperation of the forces of the surrounding kingdoms. They could not watch the Ailan Faroe Empire stretch out its tentacles from the extremely cold north. The people in power of all countries clearly saw the truth that their lips are dead and their teeth are cold.
In addition, it is certain that the baras family of the southern Legion was not liquidated by the eilanfaro Empire because of the lost war, but improved the prestige of the Imperial military.
circumstances change with the passage of time.
The plague that swept the North suddenly broke out and completely destroyed this majestic military fortress, including 150000 stoke soldiers stationed there.
In any way, the military and nobles of limontanlu will certainly not allow the plague to devour these soldiers. After all, this is one of the most elite legions in the kingdom. For this reason, the great nobles and the volant family have made a lot of efforts, and the results are obvious.
The plague that destroyed countless towns and villages destroyed not only heimu Province, edalas city and the gate of sorrow, but also countless civilians' sense of belonging to the kingdom.
The soldiers who died were not alone. They had families, wives and future generations. The combined response made the Kingdom more and more chaotic, leading to the rise of the young king's party and criticizing the old aristocrats who held most of the power.
In this regard, many great nobles ignored it, especially in the plague, the terrorist power shown by Valoran LED set off an inexplicable wave, and the shadows in the dark surged frequently.
..................
At dusk, the autumn wind with frost disrupts the green mist over the sad gate. The subtle frost and the plague in the air are mixed together, like emerald salt flowers, falling around the fortress continuously, hazy, covering the vision.
Different from the north of the gate of sorrow, behind it is a slightly desolate field. The dark green fog is like viscous liquid, creeping slowly on the field, and occasionally there are light ripples blown by the autumn wind.
Squeak! Squeak!
At the edge of the field, groups of plague mice made a slight sharp sound and ran along the direction of the fog. From a distance, they were a little big, almost the size of adults. Their sharp claws and teeth tore the soil, their green fur opened the rotten flesh and blood, and the fishy yellow and smelly pus fell on the grass.
After running for nearly kilometers in the mountains, the plague rats finally stopped at a place that looked like a cave. The surrounding mountain walls were eroded by running water, and some rotten bones and many unknown garbage were accumulated on both sides of the cave.
It seems that it should be one of the drainage outlets of the gate of sorrow, which is responsible for discharging the sewage and garbage in the city. It is very popular with the rats. It is also eating these garbage, which makes the rats become the first animals infected with the plague and become like this mutation.
In the crowded and noisy "squeaking" sound, plague mice quickly ran into the underground drainage pipe along the drainage outlet, in which there was a plague mouse with slightly strange running action and more humanized.
Different from his cousins who have not yet evolved, Tuqi has long been used to walking upright and forgetting the crawling movement. If it were not for the Lord's command, he would not want these cousins to mix together. The stench stimulates his sense of smell.
After entering the underground drainage system, Tuqi left the ethnic group by himself in a chaotic team, and began to explore and seek information of real value according to the map of the gate of sorrow remembered in his mind.
The wall of the drainage channel is made of stone. After being eroded by sewage and plague gas, it is quite humid and difficult to walk. Fortunately, with the medicine prepared by Sinjid in advance, these plagues are not a problem. As for the road, it is much cleaner than the sewer with countless highly toxic compounds in zuana.
The cold air permeated the fur and skin. While Tuqi was running, there were precision machinery exposed at his forelimbs, and the red light flickered, which seemed to be sensing something.
In addition to the name of the source of plague, Tuqi now has a prefix of [Omega team poison needle sniper]. At the same time, there is also a real memory and the fetters of several partners in his head.
Friendship, life and death? For the first time, the mutant and paranoid Tuqi had additional emotions, which was not felt in the dirty kingdom of Zuan sewer.
The hidden [thermal detector] bound at the forelimb is one of the scientific and technological equipment of the Omega team.
In the world full of war, the development of science and technology has entered the big bang ladder, and all kinds of killing weapons and equipment have been put into war. The technological equipment carried by Omega squad is also born in the continuing war and is the essence.
After running for a long time, Tuqi felt a touch of abnormality. According to the information provided by war masons and shadow flow disciples, there are at least 100000 soldiers in this military fortress. Once infected with the plague, there should be a lot of noise, but he hasn't heard any abnormal sound so far.
Moreover, the [thermal detector] only detects the vital characteristics of the plague action, but never senses the gathering of large-scale plague people. It's very strange.
Poof!
The strange sound attracted Tuqi's attention. He stopped running. He looked down at the ground of the sewer. It was not the sound of stepping on water stains, but more like a stream of sticky blood.
The bright red reflected into the copper goggles, and the breath was sudden. Tuqi subconsciously pulled out the heavy alloy crossbow from the fur layer, and his thin ears stirred slightly. He listened carefully to the movement around him.
"Red blood?"
The dignified color appeared in his eyes. Before this mission, he had discussed some problems with singid. He was very cautious and now used it: most of the blood of plague infected people has been converted into green by the factors in the plague, almost no red. But now in front of him was a condensed blood red liquid mixed with sewage.
While paying attention to the movement around, Tuqi stretched out his right hand, twisted some liquid and gently rubbed it. The breath of living people, blood and sewage had just solidified, but why would there be living people in this plague covered city?
With doubts, Tucci decided to go deep into the core area of the gate of sorrow.
In the complex sewer, the figure of a plague mouse ran quickly, and the splashed sewage stained the wet fur, masking the subtle sound of mechanical rotation.
The cold and quiet air pressed on his head, shoulders and body as he ran, and the dark shadow pulled on the corroded wall. Except for the occasional movement of small creatures, there was no other sound vibrating the air.
"The taste of blood is like delicious mold!"
His limbs stopped suddenly, Tuqi's nose sniffed slightly, and a morbid red flickered in his crazy eyes behind his goggles. Immediately, he carefully packed his equipment. These are treasures, even in zu'an.
"Oh, don't let me down when it's time for me to look for something valuable."
