Chapter 1118

Yanmen fortress, which was once captured by the orcs, was the first and last fortress for humans to protect the eastern plain.

After the main orcs were slaughtered, all the surviving orcs retreated back to the northern hills. Naturally, the half destroyed and damaged fortress was also robbed by human beings.

The fortress is divided into three layers. The founder of the fortress, the first general stationed in the fortress, was named after Antony marechian, the founding emperor of the Jian empire. From the outside to the inside, they are "Anthony's gate", "Anthony's Shield" and "Anthony's sigh".

Although Yanmen fortress is the only barrier for human beings, in fact, the modern high-level human beings have gradually become decadent because of their comfortable life. Therefore, even if there is an agreement that the ancestors will jointly guard this place, in fact, other countries will not send any decent troops to help them garrison, especially in the danger of orcs Now that has been lifted.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Ji'an Empire needs to guard the gate of the eastern plain, and the national territory is not so large, even as large as some principalities of the most powerful empire, horngorat empire. Most countries do not want to get into such trouble because of such a big place. Therefore, there are few external worries in the east of Ji'an empire The hard life in the hills near the north and the years of war with the orcs also led to the extraordinary unity of the country. It should be noted that almost every generation of the royal family of the Ji'an Empire had their princes killed in the battle at Yanmen fortress. It was almost impossible for other empires to live and die with soldiers. Even if most of the princes died, they usually died of incurable diseases or dirty palaces In the struggle of the court.

Because of this, the royal family of Ji'an empire was generally supported by the people.

Because of the shortage of troops, the garrison of Jian empire for Yanmen fortress was not comparable to that in the heyday of the Empire.

Only behind "Antony's sigh" are the elite troops of the Jian empire. The current fourth Prince of the Jian Empire, FAO marechian, led an elite guard of more than 2500 people stationed here.

Behind the "Antony's Shield" are the miscellaneous armies sent by various countries. Although they are generally not disciplined, they can only stay there obediently under the threat of the life of the spear, the strongest army of the Jian empire.

However, they were lucky. The most unfortunate was the outermost layer of Yanmen fortress. The mercenaries, slaves or other random soldiers who wanted to make contributions were the most unfortunate.

Together, these three ranks of soldiers are the famous "border guard" in the eastern plain.

In terms of equipment, these scattered soldiers are quite different from the soldiers of Ji'an empire. The soldiers of Ji'an Empire have a simple all steel breastplate, full of cage hands and shoulder armor. They wear red and blue uniforms made of Minnie cloth, and the full-length helmets on their heads are not only excellent in protection, but also decorated With the long tail feathers of a pale peacock, it looks majestic and full of spirit; conversely, the miscellaneous fish behind Antony's gate just wear ordinary linen clothes, and even some people just take out three holes in the bag of flour and put a suit on themselves. Even if a piece of clothing is used, everyone looks dirty

Not to mention weapons.

Every soldier in Ji'an Empire had a long sword made of fine steel, a short sword for body protection, a spear, and even a throwing knife that could be used as a dagger in his boots. Some soldiers of special ranks are equipped with special equipment, such as a big iron shield with one person's height, a hammer with a thick mace, and a lock claw that can climb the wall and hook people.

However, most of them are armed with wooden sticks or other similar weapons. At first glance, it seems that they are still in the stone age Once in a while, one or two people with daggers are envied by others for a long time. Only those tramp mercenaries who are determined to make contributions will use better weapons.

To put it bluntly, the people behind Anthony's gate are almost cannon fodder.

But not everyone behind Anthony's door looks like this, with occasional exceptions.

Like gionia.

He used to be a knight's servant, but later the knight fell off his horse and was trampled into mud by a group of mud legs in a jealous battle between Lords. Jonya, the knight's family thought, did not protect the knight and wanted him to be buried with him.

Fortunately, the Lord of that place was kind enough. After learning about this, he let jonya serve as a member who was sent to the Jian empire as cannon fodder. He didn't have to be killed by a group of women and children who were helpless because of the dignity of the knight (even the knight's attendants had the pride in this respect), and he would be ruined after his death.

It is for this reason that jonya is one of the few people behind Antony's gate who has the same equipment as the Jian imperial soldiers.

Although he has not been to many battlefields, as an experienced person, he is far better than 90% of the cannon fodder even if he has been to the battlefield only once. What is more worthy of the respect of those cannon fodder is that jonya is one of the few survivors of the last time the orcs broke the rock gate fortress!"Vellon, you're reading that book again."

Jonah said to the boy not far away as he wiped his sword with a not so clean linen cloth.

Vinlon is the child he picked up after the battle of the former Yanmen fortress.

According to Villon, he was also one of the cannon fodder behind Antony's gate. He had just entered the business shortly before the orc invasion, but he was seriously injured by the orc invasion.

Fortunately, it was picked up by jonya. Otherwise, this kind of orphan would have only one way to die after suffering such a heavy injury.

It is worth mentioning that jonya himself did not have any savings. Therefore, after he found vinylon, he did not have the money to ask a priest or doctor for him. He once thought that vinylon would not survive and die like that. However, he did not expect that vinylon still survived.

The book that vinlon read is a notebook with a black cover and no title. There are two different handwriting on it, one of which is vinon's own handwriting, but the other is unknown.

Giovania had studied writing with his knight master for a period of time. Unfortunately, jonya did not have any talent in that aspect. His short study did not enable him to master many words. Up to now, he can only read and write some relatively simple words. However, the words in that notebook are beyond his knowledge scope and can hardly read a single word The degree of understanding

"Uncle jonya I'm just waiting... " Veron gave jonya a stiff smile.

Jonya was very pleased: Although the smile was still ugly, it was much better than the face of a dead man who seemed to have no hope in life at first.

"Wait for words to come out of thin air in this book?" Jonya sighed, "don't be kidding, VLAN. How can this happen? You'd better be realistic."

This is not the first time that he and vinylon said such words, but every time vinylon at this time appears to be a bit stubborn.

Jonya had read the notebook, and almost every page was full of words.

Only the last page is still empty, white and bright, not a word written.

Jonya saw several times that vinon wanted to write on it, but hesitated for a long time but didn't write anything.

"To me, this book may be the creation of the devil, you may have been confused by this thing!" "Next time I have a chance, I will take you to the church to drive away evil spirits..."

For jonya's chattering appearance, vinlon did not show an impatient look, closed the notebook, but showed some nostalgia.

Once upon a time, his parents also nagged him Unfortunately

At this point, his calm mind had some fluctuations, and then came the unbearable emptiness, as if his heart had been hollowed out by something.

"Hello, Veron, are you all right?" Seeing that Villon's face turned white and seemed to faint at any time, jonya asked anxiously.

Although the relationship has not really been established, jonya, who has passed middle age, has long regarded vinylon as his nephew's love, and he also respects jonya. Although he has not been together for a long time, they have a tacit understanding. Maybe the so-called congeniality is this kind of feeling.

"It doesn't matter, uncle jonya. I'm just a little dizzy all the time." Vinylon calmed his mood and replied.

I have been suffering from this strange disease since the end of the last Orc invasion. I don't know what happened.

Glancing at the notebook - since he joined the border guard, he has written everything in his notebook. Sometimes he will respond to it, and sometimes he will teach him some simple magic. It is this magic that enabled him to survive the last time the orcs broke through the rock gate fortress.

But with the passage of time, the answers on the opposite side become shorter and shorter, and the interval between answers is also longer and longer, which makes vinlon even worry about whether the other party has forgotten himself.

But it's normal. After all, the opposite is now a famous magician of all mankind, and he is just a tiny little shrimp that the other party has experienced in practice. He even tries to hurt the other party with the artifact left by his predecessors. It is not unacceptable that he will be forgotten by the other side

If I could be more sensible and mature at that time, if I could be his student at that time, maybe everything would be different today?

Now and then vinlon thinks that.

"Don't think about it any more, vinlon. Go and have a rest."

Jonya stroked vinon's hair and whispered.

"But today I'm on the night shift..." Vinlon whispered.

"It doesn't matter. Just let the others rest for a while," jonya patted the sword that had been inserted into her waist, and asked him with a sharp sword if the other side disagreed. "Besides, now the orc power has become weak because of the power of Lord SIVI Aldrich, and there is no more left to invade here. If you are a little lazy, no one will find out, I promise"Uncle jonya, then."

Vinylon had wanted to show off his strength, but the strange feeling of emptiness made him feel dizzy, and even he could not stand steadily. Naturally, he couldn't keep watch.

In this way, it is better to take a rest with other people rather than work there.

In the night, vinylon suddenly opened his eyes.

Outside the tent, the sky is still dark, but because it has been full of sleep, now vinylon is not sleepy.

"Go to the bathroom..."

Standing up, slowly out of the tent, vinlon subconsciously felt a sense of disobedience.

Looking around, I didn't find anything wrong with it. The torch of the watchtower on the wall was burning, and two soldiers on duty were standing on it meticulously. The patrol team did not relax. Even when he saw himself coming out to the toilet, he did not let go.

The next moment, vinylon suddenly realized where his sense of disobedience came from.

He suddenly raised his head and looked again at the watchtower of the wall.

The two soldiers above were still standing upright, as if they were scanning the dark world outside.

If this kind of scene behind Antony's sigh, those elite soldiers of Jian empire may be normal, but this is Anthony's gate! The soldiers here are cannon fodder that they can't even master the military knowledge!

Most of the cannon fodder lived a life of muddling along, trying to get some money or land to live comfortably until the end of their service.

How can a muddle along person be so standard on the watch tower to check the situation outside?

Just at this time, the leader of the inspection team was jonia, so vinlon ran to him and whispered what he had noticed.

Jonya immediately understood that something was wrong.

"You two, go to the watchtower and have a look!" So he waved and said to the soldiers of the two patrol teams.

The two soldiers didn't hear vinon's words, but they carried out the order and ran to the watchtower together.

After a while, they came back.

But when he saw them, he frowned again.

Although that strange disease makes the body of vinylon not as good as before, but it seems to give vinylon a strong ability to observe and perceive.

Almost subconsciously, he felt something was wrong with the two returning soldiers.

Although at first glance it seems that there is no change, but vinlon always feels that their actions are like some "thing" in action in the leather jackets of the two soldiers, full of a strange sense of disobedience.

So vinlon quietly moved to the side, around the back of the two people.

"No, don't let them near!"

The next moment, vinlon understood why he found something wrong - a mushroom like plant grew behind the neck of the two men.

Almost at the moment of his warning, the two soldiers suddenly opened their mouths and emitted excrement yellow smoke.

If you look closely, you will find that the smoke is actually composed of many goose yellow tiny particles.

Jonya, who had been prepared for a long time, flew the two men with a sword, and then dragged the soldiers around him out of the yellow fog.

"Burning star formation" added "burning star dying for explosion"! "

As soon as vinylon raised his hand, a series of fireballs the size of Buddha beads flew out and exploded on the two people.

But it was too late, and the two people had pathological changes. Their bodies turned brown with visible speed, and some branches like things grew up and down, and began to horny. Finally, the whole body was covered with a thick layer of cuticle. It looked like they had grown into tree people, and they were not afraid of the fire. They just looked as if they were tree people Words have become terrible.

Then there was a cough from the wall.

Yellow smoke began to fall from the sky.

"Get out of here, everybody! All of you, back to Anthony's shield! Remember to wake up those stupid people who are still sleeping on the way

Jonya knew at once that there was no way to hold on to it, and yelled.

Yellow smoke for that kind of tree humanized strange symptoms transmission ability is quite amazing, not long ago, several people have been hit.

Fortunately, Veron and giorgia are all right.

In fact, if it wasn't for vinylon, the loss of cannon fodder would be much greater than now.

"What the hell is going on here?" Giorgio also took the lead in the front line, trying not to be infected by the symptoms, but to resist the attack of the humanized soldiers.

He hit a Shuren soldier who was about to attack vinlon with one sword. Although he could not cut down the other side, the strength of his long sword had already sent the other party out.

"This is not normal. I'm afraid something happened to the orcs..."Vinlon took the opportunity to take a breath, sweat on his forehead to reply.

"I'll ask you one thing Veron, do you think Anthony's shield can hold up under the attack of this kind of ghost? "

Even if jonya is in his prime, this continuous fighting has caused great pressure on his physical strength. He can't help asking vinlon.

"If you are prepared, you can probably hold on for three days?"

Vinlon looked at the growing number of enemies around him - every fallen soldier creates a new enemy.

"Tut, how can you be prepared for this kind of ghost thing?" Jonya took a swipe at the ground and broke out with vinylon: "we can't help it. We'll go!"

Vinylon was also a little depressed: "can't we do anything..."

"I'm sorry, my child." "Once again, Joey's life will be broken easily

“……！”

Hearing this, vinlon's eyes suddenly brightened. He took out the notebook and a graphite pen he had with him. He turned to the last blank page and wrote quickly.

"To the great deacon, Sylvie Aldrich - I think we've got a problem, a big one that's dangerous for all mankind 」
