City of Sin: Sixty-eight knights go on
On the east side of the square, a 20-meter-high tower was erected. A giant crossbow was placed on the shooting platform at the top of the tower. Two knights were standing beside the giant crossbow, watching the surroundings alertly. This tower covers the teleportation array and the flight field in range, and can simultaneously deal with the enemy in a large airspace.
The base and well ladder of arrow tower are very new and should be built soon, but there are many traces of fighting on the tower, and there are several repairs in the arrow base made of metal. Obviously, not long ago, this tower was tested by war.
The area of the floating island is not particularly large. The Richard is roughly an irregular circle with a diameter of about 500 meters. Most of the floating islands have rolling terrain, and the highest point on the north side is about 50 meters higher than the small square where Richard stands. But it wasn't until Richard stepped on the floating island that the scene inside the floating island was different from what was seen on the outside and even on the model.
Whether it is a model, or standing on the Eternal Plains and looking into the distance, the floating island scenery that enters the line of sight is full of mountains and water and shaded by trees. The geomorphology and climate of all floating islands are almost the same, only the size of area is different. But what Richard is seeing now is that the highest peak of this floating island is actually a volcano, an active volcano, and the mountain pass covered with light gray ash is still spitting out plumes of smoke! The strange thing is that below the light gray volcanic mountain pass, it is quickly covered by woods, and the large and deep green is clear and distinct.
Under the volcano, a majestic old castle was built according to the mountain. The dark walls and jungle-like minarets are similar to the style of Blackrose Castle in Richard ’s memory, but it lacks some majesty and calmness, but it is more terrible. Fierce. Outside the castle, dense buildings are also built according to the terrain. Most buildings have solid walls and narrow windows, which can be a solid bunker during street fighting. At several commanding heights, the striking arrow tower stands, covering the entire floating island in their range.
Seeing that volcano, Richard somehow suddenly jumped a bit. The faint smell of sulfur dispersed in the air also made him feel kind.
At this time, two heavily armed knights came and took over the lava and iron armor. Mordred led Richard and walked all the way to the castle.
Although the road to the castle is spacious, it is very tortuous. Whenever in the turning zone, Richard will see an extremely strong fortress. A pointed steel crossbow was aimed at the road from a flat and long shooting hole. At a distance of less than ten meters, these powerful crossbow arrows can easily shoot through the armor of the heavy armor knight.
The flow of people on the road is not much compared with the urban area below, there are women, and even the elderly and children, but the proportion of sturdy Warrior is extremely high.
On the hundreds of meters from the square to the castle, Richard saw at least six Warriors loaded with two Runes. Although they still can't reach the standard of Rune Knight, they are considered elite Infantry Knight. What's important is that these Warriors are still very young, and there is still room for improvement in the future. As long as the physique is enhanced to carry one more Rune position, it will reach the minimum standard of Rune Knight. In terms of one Rune Knight unit and five Magic Rune standards, these Warriors also need to be equipped with mount that can carry two Magic Runes, and after a year of special training, they can become a reserve Rune Knight. However, the price of mount, which can carry two Rune, is extremely expensive, and this cost can train more than a dozen Infantry Knight. Moreover, the combat power of mount and the combat power of the knight themselves are obviously not on the same order of magnitude, so the ideal Rune Knight unit composition is generally a combination of four Rune Knight and a single Rune mount.
The "lava" is an exception. This horse with four Runes and Gordon's "Darkmoon Volcano" "Darkmoon Blackflame" belong to the same level.
Just seen all the way, Richard feels that this floating island No. 3 has been armed with teeth and is completely a floating fortress in the air.
However, Archeron has a tradition of poor soldiers and militarism. Gordon has just entered Faust not long ago. It would be strange if the floating island was built into a palace and garden. Thinking of this, Richard is a little curious, and I don't know what it looks like on the bottom-most floating island on this floor.
Until Mordred calls the door, the castle gate opens slowly on its own. Behind the door is a small open plaza, but the surrounding walls are up to ten meters high, and there are shooting holes and arrow tower that can attack the square. So even if the castle gate is broken, the enemy will be fatally hit in the small square.
The inside of the main body of the castle is very dark, and it needs to be illuminated with magic lights or fuel torches. The channel in the castle is not wide, it is very complex and tortuous. The channel is full of dark rooms and weapon racks. There are also many thick square iron shields against the wall. Several triangular spikes are created on the shield surface. The edge of the weapon is bright, the shield surface is polished to be appreciable, and the spikes are flashing cold awns. These murderous objects are obviously not ornaments. If necessary, insert the iron shield on the ground, and then use a special bracket Live, immediately become a strong and effective bunker. Obviously, the castle was ready to fight against the enemy in the castle at the beginning of construction.
The entire ground floor is made up of garrisons, warehouses, armory, and underpasses. There have been guest rooms and living rooms since the second floor. When walking into the command hall on the fourth floor, Richard saw his father, Gordon Archeron, at a glance.
In the center of the command hall is a huge stone platform, with a gleam of magical light shining on it, and the yellowish light floating evenly for nearly ten centimeters, presenting a three-dimensional magic map. Continental terrain is a compulsory course of Richard. This large-scale map covers thousands of kilometers. If any corner of Norland is depicted, Richard can be recognized at a glance. However, the graphic in front of him is a completely unfamiliar area, and all kinds of marks are mostly of unknown significance. It seems that they do not belong to Norland Continent at all.
In addition to Gordon, there are also four different people standing around the magic map.
The most peculiar thing is a devoted man in his forties, wearing a missionary robe with some old hair washing, and even the patterns on the corners of the robe are slightly damaged. A thick textbook hung on his waist with a copper chain, a black cover, and a copper rose on the cover, but he could not see what the doctrine of God.
On the right side of the priest, a strong man with a height of two and a half meters stands, and his muscular muscles fully illustrate his terrible strength. He only wore a leather armor with a cross-body, bare / exposed most of his left chest and the entire arm. Under the thick hair on the chest and arms, a large and dense tattoo can be clearly seen, which makes the appearance of the strong man more terrifying and terrifying. But Richard can see at a glance that those are not tattoos at all, but Magic Rune of Rank 3! Just looking at the exposed tattoo area, you know that there are at least two Runes, and maybe even three Magic Runes. The strong physique of a strong man can carry at least five Rune, which is likely to be more.
