Ride and Cut

A few days later, a cold morning.

With the sound of horseshoes breaking the silence, Vera and Berna led dozens of guard cavalry to the Alpine Fort.

As early as in Winter City, Seedorf said that although it was difficult for him to escape, it was not a big problem to let a few subordinates go. However, Li Cha really didn't expect that it took them so long to arrive. It seems that Pompey did not make things difficult for them.

The lord just got up from the bed, his hair was as frizzy as a chicken coop, and he greeted the two sleepily.

"I thought I would see a desolate, remote and barren land." Bernard jumped off his horse, opened his arms and gave Richard a bear hug. The experience of fighting side by side in the cold winter city made them feel a little bit of friendship.

"You have so many dwarf blacksmiths!" Bernard looked at the billowing black smoke from the blast furnace by the river, his eyes turned red with jealousy, "No wonder there are such good weapons!"

"I'll get you whatever you want later."

"It's settled." Bernard didn't know what politeness meant, and immediately pointed to the barbarian warrior who was doing the drill, "I want that kind of armor."

"Small problem." Li Cha couldn't help yawning after finishing speaking.

The Titan Armor equipped by the Barbarian Warrior is the painstaking work of Robbie, the chief designer of Alpine Fort, and its structure is very ingenious. Coupled with the joint efforts of dwarf craftsmen and centaur Busmi, the forging quality is also extremely high. It can be regarded as the masterpiece of Gaoshanbao Blacksmith Workshop.

Judging from the superior performance of previous battles after installation, it is worthy of the status of a generation of fist products.

Anyway, so far, Richard has never seen the same type of product anywhere else. Bernard was born as an orthodox soldier, so his vision is really good.

Vera was wrapped in a thick fur, only showing her pretty face, silently looking around.

The Alpine Fort Lord himself can be said to be extremely annoying, rude and unmannered. Even if this kind of person bears the title of dragon slayer, he can only be regarded as a reckless man with nothing but force. She glanced at Li Cha coldly, as soon as she remembered the rough treatment she received in Cold Winter City, she couldn't help breathing quickly.

If she didn't respect Seedorf's request as an elder, she would never want to see this guy even once.

But even Vera has to admit that this place called Alpine Fort is a bit surprising. In winter, everything withers, and only withered grass fills the entire field of vision along the way, which is boring and monotonous. Sometimes looking at the vast wilderness, I almost think that I am the only one left in the world.

Until arriving at Gaoshanbao, everything suddenly became completely different. The biting cold wind blowing here seems to be a little gentle.

The outermost perimeter is surrounded by a thin wall of logs, which seems to be more of a definition than a defense. At the foot of the wall, a two-blade wide earth ditch was dug, presumably in the beginning of spring, the river water would be drawn in as a moat.

The arrival of a group of heavily armed cavalry did not cause the guard post to panic. The frail goatman and rabbitman came forward with wooden sticks on their backs. They looked calm and calm, as if they were sure that they would not be attacked.

Under their guidance, a group of people walked into the enclosure, and immediately saw a large number of residential houses and animal pens, surrounding the hills, which had gathered into the prototype of a small town. Compared with big cities like Cologne or Winter, of course, it is far from prosperous enough, and the buildings are generally very simple.

But the arrangement is neat, the roads between the houses are in good order, and the civilians who come and go seem cheerful and hardworking, and seem to be quite satisfied with the situation. Among them are not only half-orcs and dwarves, but also an extremely rare race like elves. Vera couldn't help taking a few more glances, and she was as handsome and unparalleled as the legend said.

The supreme beauty of human beings is not inferior to any elves, such as Vera herself is an excellent example. But if you compare the average level, it will be a tragic crush.

She also noticed something very satisfying - no one was shitting on the road, which was rare.

Generally speaking, as an emerging territory, Alpine Fort does not lack the vigor and vitality unique to the initial period. The unique style brought together by ethnic diversity also brings extra charm here.

Vera looked at Li Cha, thinking that apart from the fact that he hated it, this place is really quite good.

"How is the old man Seedorf?" Li Cha yawned again.

Too sleepy, really too sleepy, I didn't sleep all night last night. It was inhumane to be called up again not long after I closed my eyes.

"It's okay." Bernard shrugged. "Aside from being less free, I didn't experience any other difficulties. In addition, Mr. Seedorf asked me to bring you a gift..."

"Oh?" Li Cha rubbed his hands expectantly, watched Bernard rummaging through the luggage for a while, and then took out an object as thick as a wall brick, which was specially wrapped in cotton cloth, looking very solemn.

"Actually, there is no need to prepare a too expensive gift. This time I will accept it first, and I will not make an exception." The lord was pretending to be polite, while taking it with joy and opening the cloth, his smile immediately collapsed.

Inside is a tome that is so thick that it can be used by people-"A Brief History of War". And judging from the poor paper and printing, ninety-nine out of ten are pirated.

"It's not an expensive gift. The adults said that Pompeii's books are very cheap, so they bought some as gifts."

Just as Li Cha was about to return the product, he suddenly found that Vera's beautiful emerald eyes had been sticking to him, so he immediately lifted the cover and put on a studious look.

"Ahem... I've read this book a long time ago."

He really didn't lie, in the night of the dead in Winter City, he and Dracula ran to Seedorf's house by chance, and saw this book-indeed, he just "read" it.

"I like it very much." The lord yawned again.

He was already sleepy, and with the hypnotic effect of this voluminous tome, he couldn't help it.

"Why are you so sleepy?" Bernard asked casually as he followed Richard into the hall.

"Don't mention it, I changed a few elves last night, tossing all night..." the lord said halfway, he vaguely felt something was wrong, turned his head to see Bernard and Vera's mouths gradually opening into a circle, and immediately realized: "I mean tattoos! Tattoos! My skin is too hard, and it is very laborious to tattoo me."

Li Cha lifted the collar of his clothes and showed them the exposed corners of the tattoo. There is still a thin layer of blood scab, which looks like it has just been tattooed not long ago.

Last night he tried the water magic energy tattoo for the first time, and it was not smooth at first.

With the blessing of the full-level "Iron Bone" skill, the lord's skin defense is almost as good as the leather armor, which caused a lot of trouble for several elves. Their own strength is weak, and they can only do nothing in the face of this situation. Several Parry took turns to fight, and the progress is minimal.

Later, Hurt had an idea and proposed to ask the blacksmith to quench and polish the steel needle again, so that it could go smoothly.
