Tuna Fortress is a fortress located on the banks of the Raven River and close to the High Forest.
With the human race as the core, but also with the participation of dwarves, elves and other races, to a certain extent, it is gradually entering the radiation circle of the Silver Moon Alliance.
The martial law in this fortress directly interrupted the northbound route of the United Trade Group, and...
When the merchant group temporarily completed its stationing in the south of the fortress, increased its strength, and quickly collected information from all aspects...
"Is there any harvest?"
Barrett was paired with Beasley, and Heath was paired with Ms. Erin.
On the pretext of letting the kid experience it, the two sides separated, conducted their own explorations, and then gathered at the camp again.
Barrett did not directly discuss with Ms. Eileen, but looked at the cheap students.
He and Beasley have their own channels.
If it's a cheap student...it depends on how much he can explore on his own, or whether he can gain something through the Song Dragon and then through some channels of the Harper!
The kid is not an ordinary person.
Barrett is also willing to let him go through various experiences.
"I found out some of the history of 'Hell Gate Castle', and combined with the information flowing from Tuna Fortress, I have some guesses about things in the north."
It's not like Heath is a shrinking character.
Since the cheap teacher has asked questions, he will tell you what he has to say.
However, the description he used was "guess."
But after this period of exploration, he didn't dare to say it was "certain" yet.
Barrett nodded slightly, waiting for his words.
"Hell Gate Castle is said to have a history of more than a thousand years. It was originally a fortress in the Elf Kingdom era. It is now called 'Hell Gate Castle' because a powerful mage summoned the devils from hell to this fortress."
"But because of the devil's control, this mage lord eventually fell, and therefore encountered resistance from the people in the fortress."
"In order to fight against the baatezu demons of hell, the casters of the fortress summoned the demons of the abyss."
"In the end, the devil defeated the devil, but the people in the fortress were also slaughtered and enslaved by the devil."
"According to some intelligence, the current ruler of Hell Gate Castle should be the powerful and more terrifying Balor Balrog."
"His men were divided into two parts."
"Some of them are real abyss demons, and some of them are high-level demons with terrifying names."
"And more of them are a demon army called the 'Flash Legion'."
"It is said that this legion is all the descendants of these demons. They all have the blood of purgatory. They are inherently evil and powerful, and are directly controlled by high-level demons."
"From the intelligence point of view, there are seven of the most terrifying leaders of this "Whip Legion", and three of them are the six-armed snake demons!"
"So, I suspect that the leader of the demon army that broke out of the Supreme Forest and is raging north of Tuna Fortress should be one of these three six-armed snake demons!"
"However, we cannot rule out whether there are more high-level demons."
Heath's words were very clear, as if he had the mature thinking of an adult.
Barrett couldn't help but nodded, silently praising him.
However, when the cheap students started talking, they basically stopped.
The legendary assassin's eyes moved again, and he asked: "Then, why is their target exactly here? Is it a coincidence? Or is there an ulterior motive? Or is there another reason?"
In response, Heath blinked his dark eyes, his mind was spinning rapidly, and his face... looked innocent!
This old man really thinks he knows everything!
He didn't even think about it. Before today, he had never even heard of "Hell Gate Castle", and he was completely unfamiliar with the situation here in the North.
Even if I want to think further, I have no place to start!
In response to his "innocence".
In Barrett's hand, a rough map unfolded.
High Forest, Hellgate Keep, River Raven...
The surrounding areas and rough landmarks are marked one by one.
Beasley is directly in charge of the intelligence department in the north of the kingdom, and the trade road is the focus of the intelligence department.
It was easy to obtain a map.
Heath's eyes immediately fell on it.
Even Ms. Ailin's eyes, which clearly did not want to interact with the two people in front of her, could not help but turn around at this time.
After pondering for a while, Heath pondered a little, raised his eyes to Teacher Yiyi, and said with a slightly uncertain look: "Hell Gate Castle is at the outermost edge of the Supreme Forest.
To the north are the huge Nese Mountains.
To the south is the main body of the Supreme Forest, an endless forest.
Only by going east, or along the periphery of the Supreme Forest, to the west, and after entering the Raven River Basin, can you find a relatively open area.
However, it may not just be because of the terrain.
What the teacher means... Could it be that there are powerful forces in other regions and directions that even the 'Flogging Legion' is not willing to collide with? "
Since the cheap teacher is asking about "their goals", it is obvious that he will not ask for no reason.
In this direction, although Hiss is unaware of the surrounding forces, it does not prevent him from carrying out a certain degree of expansion.
And his judgment...
At least Ms. Eileen's eyes were moving darkly.
A boy of twelve or thirteen years old could reach this point without any knowledge and just based on his own thinking... He was indeed the person who could get her attention!
"We have to find a way to save him from the shadow assassin's training!"
"But, that one..."
He was pondering something in his mind, and the emergence of a shadow made Gelong's breathing secretly heavy.
"good!"
"That's it!"
Barrett finally smiled in genuine approval, and then stopped "embarrassing" any more. He nodded and said: "Demons are by no means a race that only knows how to kill and has no wisdom. On the contrary, the wisdom of devils is probably even more universal." Above us humans.
Since they can break out through underground tunnels, they will naturally have targeted targets. "
As he spoke, Barrett pointed his finger at the Supreme Forest.
"The Supreme Forest was once the location of the ancient elven kingdom 'Yerlan'!"
"Legend has it that our human race's magical civilization originated from the 'Kingdom of Erlan'. For this ancient elf kingdom, any era and any magic dynasty will show them enough respect."
"Even with the 'Great Retreat', there are at most a few elves in the Supreme Forest now. However, whether it was Tulang the Thinker who was revered by the elves as the prophet of the tree people during the Kingdom of Yeerlan, he is still mysterious. The extremely powerful 'Tall Tree Druid' organization, the 'Hell Gate Castle', can only avoid confronting these powerful druids in the forest environment."
As he spoke, Barrett's finger pointed north again.
"Look at the Nese Mountains again."
"Although the Silver Moon Alliance is located to the north of the Nese Mountains, normally these demons should be crossing the Nese Mountains to plunder or even conquer the Silver Moon Alliance as their first choice."
"However, although the terrain and environment of the Nese Mountains are dangerous, there are three forces entrenched in it."
"First of all, there are many orc tribes, especially powerful orc tribes like the 'Thousand Fists Tribe'. These orc tribes have always been a scourge for the Silver Moon Alliance."
"Secondly, just north of the Nese Mountains, even if the demons fight there, they will have to face the 'Sundaba' Fortress first! This is one of the most important dwarf cities in the Silver Moon Alliance. Naturally, its defenses The system is also armed to the teeth and cannot be easily chewed through.”
"But the most important thing is."
Barrett circled a large area in the highest area of the Nese Mountains and said in a deep voice: "'Blood of Moremi', a powerful blue dragon clan!"
To a certain extent, although the Shadow Assassin Group is loyal to the Lady of the Night, it has always been infiltrated into the Shadow Faction of the Dragon Cult, and has a close cooperative relationship with Start and Eugene.
Because of this, even if the Blue Dragon Clan is here in the North, Barrett has already learned a lot about the "Blood of Moremi".
"This is one, with at least four or five blue dragons as the core, and a large hobgoblin tribe that is absolutely loyal to them, and among these hobgoblins, there are also a large number of 'dragon-veined hobgoblins', and even 'Half-blue dragon hobgoblin'..."
"The power of this Blue Dragon clan is not only legendary, but also has a long history..."
Barrett's voice.
For a moment, even Ms. Erin couldn't help but move her ears... Blood of Moremi!
Song Long's eyes flickered for a while. The shadow assassin could know it. How could she not have heard of this name?
"Moremi, in the Age of Dragon, even before the birth of the Silver Moon Alliance, and even before the Silver Moon Dragon Queen and the Red Dragon Queen, there were legendary blue dragons who ruled this region."
"It is said that the current Blue Dragon clan is the descendant of this legendary blue dragon."
“Thus, we have inherited the heritage of this legendary blue dragon.
Not only the blue dragons of the 'Blood of Moremi', most of them have advanced professions.
Even the "half-blue dragon hobgoblin" and those 'dragon-veined hobgoblins' also have powerful careers.
Therefore, although this Blue Dragon clan is not very aggressive towards the outside world, it communicates more with the outside world in the form of 'mercenaries'.
But, there is no doubt that they are the strongest rulers of the Nese Mountains!
Even the whipping legions of Hell Gate Castle, even the Balor Fire Demon, are never willing to offend them easily..."
comollon!
Still a group of blue dragons!
There is also a tribe of hobgoblins with blue dragon blood!
They also master various advanced professions!
In addition, their external aggression is not very strong!
Adding all these together...it is the Supreme Lady of the Silver Moon Alliance who is easily afraid of becoming an enemy of the Blue Dragon Clan!
Although the demon is violent, can the Balor Fire Demon be allowed to fight these blue dragons for the sake of mountainous areas like the Nese Mountains?
It can't go south, it can't go north, and it can't go east. Although it is an open area, due to the lack of water veins, a large area is a desolate land.
Naturally, the first choice of the demons after they break through, even if it is not far away for hundreds of miles, is to run to the Raven River Basin in the west!
When it comes to the Raven River Basin, whether to point north towards the Silver Moon Alliance or go down the river and launch an attack on the city-states in the southwest is another matter.
At least, this is the explanation.
It makes sense why Tuna Fortress should close the trade routes and implement complete martial law.
After all, the demons were coming along the Raven River. Could they still let the caravans continue to go against the Raven River and send them to their doorstep?
"Greensack won't be able to run rampant for much longer."
"Back then, the Harpers were able to seal them in Hell Gate Castle with a barrier, and they couldn't break out for hundreds of years."
"Today, the Silver Moon Alliance not only has the 'Supreme Lady', but also has countless forces working together to continue to grow."
"Now that these demons have broken out of the barrier..."
Ms. Eileen took the initiative to speak out for the first time, and even looked at the two Barretts. After a pause in her voice, she said with a hint: "It's time to completely destroy Hell Gate Castle. !”
After hundreds of years of banning, all "transportation from other worlds" has been banned. Without the critical summoning of demons, the current Hell Gate Castle is probably not as good as before it was banned.
In contrast.
The current Silver Moon Alliance is the most powerful kingdom in the North, especially the Silver Moon City, which is known as "Myth Drannor" again. Whether it is an army or a spell caster, its strength is not only the best. Northland, even in the entire Ashan world, is also the best.
In particular, the "Supreme Lady" who led the mage group and single-handedly created the "Silver Moon City Guardian Barrier", a true mythical barrier, is also the most famous archmage among the "Seven Sisters", Ms. Alustriel. , which has always been active in the core of the Silver Moon Alliance!
This man is not only the chosen one of the Goddess of Magic, but also a great mage who has mastered both the human magic system and the elf magic system... In Gelong's heart, this is definitely a powerful figure alongside Ms. Laila, who even their dragon clan must respect. By!
With this leader, not to mention the mage group to assist her, even if she came out alone, I am afraid that the Balor Fire Demon would have to wait and escape!
"Who is Greensack?"
Gelong was pointing with something in mind, and little Heath's sudden interjection, as if inadvertently, interrupted Yayoi's atmosphere.
"The ruler of Hellgate Castle, the governor of the 'Lash Legion', the infamous Balor Balrog!"
Gelong glared at him lightly, with an annoyed tone.
But with her powerful charm, the flash of her eyes made little Heath's heart beat faster in spite of herself.
"Then I'll wait and see!"
Barrett, the old man, did not argue with Gelong.
As an assassin's nature, he has always downplayed his own presence. Even when the joint business group came all the way, no one noticed anything about him, and naturally he didn't have the habit of arguing with others.
Especially, this is a woman!
His attitude...
Gelong's Ruo Zhi pointed out something as if it had fallen on the air, without any focus at all.
However, he completely ignored these.
But, just as his voice fell.
But there was another voice that sounded directly inside the tent in the camp.
"It was able to seal away the demon army for hundreds of years. Today, they can only escape by digging underground tunnels..."
"I'm quite interested in this barrier!"
"Being able to set up such a barrier..."
"Who are the 'Seven Sisters'?"
"Or Kelben?"
"Or could it be that old man Minnis took action himself?"
The moment the sound rang out.
Although the voice was no stranger to him, Barrett and Ms. Eileen couldn't help but shrink their eyes!
They are all inside this tent.
But whether it was the legendary assassin or Song Long, they were not even alert before the sound sounded!
"His Majesty!"
Belgium's respectful and joyful voice sounded first.
It seems that they have time to collect intelligence, use "shadow beacon" to accurately locate, and use "advanced teleportation" to directly cross space...
It was Isaac who had arrived!
As for the exchanges in Waterdeep City, there was also the Leyline Lost City and his party.
After converting many harvests into their own accumulation.
At this time, Isaac has a high enough level of magic knowledge and a high enough mental will. He has such a high degree of control over magic that both Barrett and Song Long can actually use it without specifically targeting them. He simply ignored his approach.
His voice...
Even more incredible...
There was already a shadow. Although Gelong tried his best to keep his expression calm, his heart trembled violently.
However, even so, Ms. Eileen will never reveal any secrets that should be kept.
Forcibly using her usual acting skills, Ms. Gelong's beautiful face looked as natural as possible: "I don't know what happened back then, I wasn't even born yet."
"However, since it is a Harper matter, your Majesty may be able to consult directly with Ms. Leila or the Black Staff Archmage."
After all, there is Laila behind her.
When talking about Ms. Laila, Songlong reacted.
Since this person has a one-year contract with Laila, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to die, she shouldn't be punished intentionally by this person!
"Is it?"
Isaac's figure emerged from the void.
His eyes glanced at Gelong's face, but he didn't continue to explore.
He just nodded slightly to Barrett and the others.
And when his eyes fell on the kid...
Could this be what happened to this kid?
Is it true that something will happen wherever you go?
