Fiction: Kingdom of blood: No Man's sword Words: 9768

Compared with the way forward, the caravan’s return journey is much calmer, not to mention the orcs and sand thief, except for a few corpses next to the supply points, they did not encounter a half-person at all, and even animals are rare. To. 35xs

But everyone knows why.

When I think of this, many people feel difficult.

As always, the merchants kept their distance from Dante's great sword, staying behind with their empty eight camels, and hidden resentment and unwillingness in their secret glances.

The mercenaries with only a few people left took a weary pace, leading the team with two camels in front. None of their horses were left behind. The only two camels were Dean and the merchants. After fighting hard (even threatening with the sword) based on reason, he "temporarily borrowed" in the name of security.

Dean and McGee walked in the forefront, dragging their tired bodies and gloomy mood to identify the way home, discussing the location of the next supply point from time to time.

The old hammer was unrecovered. He leaned his half-length weight on the camel and coughed forward with difficulty. It seemed that he might fall at any time. Louisa walked behind him worriedly, ready to catch him who fell. Fastrope followed glumly, seemingly preoccupied, and lost interest in telling jokes and selling business.

The atmosphere of the entire team is quiet and depressing. Death and blood have wiped away the once relaxed and happy atmosphere of mercenaries. After assaults, battles, attrition, and extortion, it seems that the happy team will never come back. .

In this situation, the prince could only remain silent—he tightened the crossbow behind his shoulders, pulled on the shading mask, and consciously walked at the end of the mercenary team, and once fought side by side against the orcs. After the experience, he became familiar with this heavy-loss team a lot.

Fortunately, perhaps it was the star cavalry who swept away most of the threats, or perhaps their bad luck finally passed, except for the long yellow sand under their feet and the venomous sun above their heads, there was no accident on their way home.

As the road increased, Thales felt a strange feeling every time he stepped on the sand: the ground under his feet seemed to come back to life, and after each step he told him the direction and the topography.

So...

Finally, on a certain sunset day, when the team was walking silently, Thales had a meal when he climbed a sand dune.

The mercenaries ahead stopped.

Loisa exhaled, with complex meaning.

No one speaks.

"What's the matter?" Thales caught up to two steps and spoke carefully.

Dean turned around and said silently: "We are here."

Talston gave it a bit.

Following his gaze, Thales raised his head with an unspeakable mood, and looked down the sand dunes, towards the desert horizon that seemed boundless.

The boy was startled immediately.

Fortress.

A fortress standing on the desert.

No, there is more than one fortress.

It is the fortress group.

There are countless fortresses of different sizes, large and small, extending out of sight.

They appeared behind a borderless low wall, sandwiched between several thick and large sand dunes. The distances between them vary greatly:

Some fortresses stand alone in the wilderness, away from others of the same kind. Some fortresses are stacked closely together, squeezing each other. Some fortresses are built in the style of sentry towers, pointing abruptly to the sky, and some fortresses. Four squares, ocher stone ladders are faintly visible between different layers. Some fortresses are multi-cornered and thick, which can be used for defensive purposes. Some fortresses are wide, short and flat, more like residential buildings, and some fortresses are as high as ten. A few meters, standing out among the sand dunes, some are one or two stories low, it seems that they can only dry clothes.

Perhaps because of the wind and sand. The color of these fortresses matches the gravel. There are many places where there are traces of fire and smoke. From a distance, it looks like a pile of awkward building blocks on the beach.

Thyls swears, if it’s not the vegetation extending between the fortress and the fortress, if it’s not the foundations that appear under many fortresses, if it’s not the double-cross silver star flag flying high above the fortress, if it’s not short The wooden horses placed around the wall, if not for the hustle and bustle of the people between the fortresses, he would have thought it was the remains of an ancient desert city.

"Bladeya Dune," Dean looked at the familiar place with complicated eyes: "Bladeya Camp."

Bladefang Dune?

Thyls shook his head in amazement and looked at the artificial buildings that suddenly appeared in the desert.

This is...

"After passing this large camp that is enough to sustain thousands of life opportunities, and walking east for a day, your feet will no longer be yellow sand," Dean patted Thales on the shoulder: "Congratulations, Huaiya, the great desert ends here."

That's it.

Looking at the star flag flying in the distance, and feeling the reappearing sense of direction in his heart, Thales sighed slowly.

Businessmen rushed up, and many people looked at the familiar sight in front of them and wept with joy.

"I knew it," Tom Ding breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked sad: "But our goods..."

But his expression changed quickly: "Hey, Big Dean, we are grateful for your **** along the way. To be honest, you are the most powerful guide and bodyguard I have ever seen. Really, if you change to another People...but you have also seen that we are out of luck this time, we have lost our money, and there will be some problems with fund turnover, so we may have to wait a while for a good balance..."

Dean's expression sank and looked at him coldly. 35xs

The eyes of the mercenaries also turned cold.

"Wait for a while?" McGee whispered softly: "Well...you are also in the desert'wait for a while', wait for your money to be transferred, and then send you back?"

Tomdding smiled suddenly.

But he turned his head very quickly, avoiding the sight of the bald mercenaries and the Scavengers, and turned to Luisa: "I am not reckless... and I guarantee with the reputation of the Tomding family, we are I started to borrow money-even the Canopy Star royal family borrowed our money back then-we are the most credible..."

Thyls raised his eyebrows.

Tom Ding’s eyes rolled steadily, clutching the camel’s reins tightly, as if he was about to ride on it and escape: "I just said, you have to understand us... Dear Louisa, you want I want to see, your father, old Dante is such a good person, helping the poor and helping the weak, and benevolent, and he and I have been in friendship for so many years. Wouldn't he still repay the money for this amount of money?"

His face was full of sad nostalgia, and he looked at the female captain hopefully.

Loisa looked at him steadily, but finally let out a breath of helplessness.

"Forget it, don't use the'I know your father' trick anymore, I didn't expect you to pay..." Louisa muttered and shook her head: "You still think about how to pass the guard level. Well... now the blockade order is still in effect, but we enter the camp at this time..."

Tom Ding smiled as soon as he heard "Forget it".

"I knew you were a good person." The potbellied businessman was elated and seemed to want to pat Luisa on the shoulder, but McGee was knocked away by his arm halfway: "Don't worry, we have bought the insatiable monster Tire, what he said, no one will embarrass us..."

They soon knew whether Douro's words were effective.

"Duro?"

The guards guarding Bladefang camp stood in front of Tomdin, looking suspiciously at this caravan with nothing but ten camels: "He said it?"

Tom Ding nodded his head obediently, smiled, and looked familiar: "Yes, brother Du Luo is very familiar with me, and he will know when he comes back... we don’t know the lockdown order. ……"

The guard frowned and looked at everyone.

"Really, you and Douro... are familiar?"

Tom Ding waved his hand and laughed: "Of course, we met on the road... and were drinking together. Before leaving, I gave him a lot of good things, and he insisted on sending a Stardust Guard. The soldiers escorted me back, but I refused..."

Quickrope widened his eyes, turned his head and gave Thales a "what the hell" surprised look.

The guard nodded with a stern face, then he turned his face, and whispered in the ear of a higher-ranking officer.

"Ah, I feel bad." Old Hammer whispered.

Loisa frowned slightly: "Why?"

The old hammer shook his head, and pointed to the soldiers who were looking badly in front of the refusal: "Because I seem to recognize them, they are not..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the officer nodded.

I saw the officer stride forward, sternly giving orders to the stars and soldiers present:

"Take them down!"

Tom Ding's face turned pale!

The officer coldly pressed the weapon around his waist: "Violating the blockade order, going out privately, and daring to bribe the army... You are so bold."

The mercenaries looked at each other in amazement.

Looking at the dozen or so soldiers holding their weapons, Tomdin waved his hands anxiously: "But Captain Duro said..."

"I don't care what the freak said!" The officer said sternly, he pointed to the star flag above his head: "This is the land of the stars. We are the sacred army. Before the law, no one can bend the law!"

Tom Ding seemed to instantly become that helpless little tabby cat, at a loss and full of grievances: "But...Duro...Aren't you together?"

The officer frowned.

"Who the **** told you that we are with those freaks?"

He took off the shield behind him and tapped the pattern on it vigorously.

Tyles squinted and was surprised to see that on the shield was a huge scary skull with four dark eye holes.

This is not that...

"Did you see clearly, this is a skull with four eyes!"

Just listen to the officer’s proud and proud words: "We come from the ruins and are soldiers of the Falkenhauser family!"

"It's not the same as the gang of Williams boys!"

Tom Ding was completely stunned. He stared at the strange skull and muttered:

"Four-eyed skull..."

Dean sighed quietly.

Thyls thinks more: The Falkenhaus direct levies guarding the Bladeya camp, that is to say, their commander is at least...

"You have two choices," the officer said arrogantly: "Pay a fine, or I will send you to the prison of bones..."

In the panic and wailing of the merchants, the soldiers of the stars pressed on.

The mercenaries clenched their teeth, while Thales squeezed his palms, wondering which of these soldiers was the highest commander.

Just now.

"Colin!"

The voice of the old hammer rang: "Colin Little Nose!"

The officer who is righteous and remarks is slightly taken aback. 35xs

"Who?" The officer with the little nose looked around questioningly: "Who is talking?"

"It's me," the old hammer walked out of the crowd with a sigh, "Served with you under Lord Mann, and was even ambushed in a pit..."

He doesn't have to go on.

"Hammer!"

Colin the little nose stared straight.

Old Hammer smiled awkwardly.

The mercenaries looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief again.

A few minutes later, the merchants were dejectedly escorted by the soldiers into the Bladeya camp. Their camels were taken away by the Falkenhausen soldiers as a fine. Dante’s swords stood on the other side. Side, silently waiting for the results of the old hammer's negotiations.

"My sunset..." Colin smiled and watched the ten camels being led away, while patted the old hammer on the shoulder, revealing his accustomed western accent: "Hammer, how did you become 'Sword dealer'?"

The old hammer sighed.

"It's a long story...Is there any major action recently? How come the soldiers from the Ruins and the Wing Fort were conscripted at the same time and entered the desert with the standing army?"

Thyls was aroused by these words and listened in the **** senses.

Colin rubbed his hands: "This is also a long story... In short, it's not just them. In the past two months, the Bladeya camp is full of conscripts from all over the Western Wilderness, Valiant Fort, Wing Fort, Li Kenan even offered new land, many of them were nobles or noble soldiers who could bring their own horses, even the Skull Guards and Raven Whistle light cavalry, taking turns into the desert..."

Old Hammer frowned: "What the **** happened? I saw them chasing orcs in the desert..."

Colin shook his head: "I don't know, but I guess it's the Scavengers or the Ash **** who are moving east again, because the ones who go in are basically cavalry...and our two-legged..."

"Is it here to collect the toll?" The old hammer looked at the ten camels and Tom Ding who was about to cry from a distance.

Colin spread his hands and didn't answer.

Old Hammer sighed helplessly: "But, ten camels, this is all this group of people..."

"Don't, hammer, don't intercede for them, you pity them, but who will pity us?"

"The standing army is paid by the king. What about our rewards? We can't even buy woolen yarn!" Colin sniffed dissatisfiedly: "You know, it's September, and my family's mill will start soon. , The service period I came out this time has already passed, but my brother and I don’t know how long it will take to go back. The buddies on the same team with me also have a family who is about to give birth..."

"But you are too greedy, the merchants will protest—the nobles in the camp have no objection?"

Colin scowled, obviously in a bad mood.

"Listen, hammer, you haven't been in the army for a long time...Unlike the Desert War, the Bladefang Camp is no longer in charge of the Falkenhauser family," the little nose officer waved his hand:

"Now this is the site of the Standing Army of the Royal Family. The usual oil and water are from the gang of Williams under Williams. There are really not many places where we can wipe the oil. If it weren't for the standing army expedition and understaffed, you think we are Being able to stand here...so, whether he protests or not, he can fish if he can. Anyway, something wrong is Williams' trouble..."

Thyls listened to these words thoughtfully.

"Listen," Colin took the old hammer's shoulders: "For the sake of the past, I won't be embarrassed by you anymore. I won't pay the mercenary tax anymore, but you go back, remember to give me Dad should report a letter, let him be optimistic about my mother-in-law, don’t let the lame Qiancun **** her..."

Finally, under the fellowship of Old Hammer, Dante's great swords entered the city without any risk--or, in other words, this vast oasis camp in the desert.

Sweeping across the boundary between the low wall and the horse-rejection, the crowd came over.

The crowd Thales hadn't seen in a long time.

Wearing shoulders and shoulders, the shadows are brilliant.

"New here, go to blame others-we are not white pigs!"

Dean coldly pushed away a man who looked drunk, and gave him a kick in the abdomen as he fell softly.

"Dante's Great Sword, have you heard of it?"

Thyls watched the scolding man getting up on the ground and walking into another alleyway, where a group of fierce men looked at them maliciously.

"I thought you were dead outside," the man inside smiled, rubbing his fists, "Bald head--oh, and my beautiful and thorny little flower, Louisa! When will you come to my bed? One night? Guaranteed to be more comfortable than Big Dean’s bed!"

"Fuck yourself!" Louisa gave him a **** blankly and continued to move forward.

The guy laughed.

"A free message is included, bald," he digs his nostrils: "It's messy here recently! Don't mess with the soldier! Maybe they are the guardians of a nobleman!"

The bald mercenary frowned upon hearing this.

Dean turned his head to Thales and said: "Hold on, don't get lost."

"You don't want to be alone in the Bladefang camp. These people are more terrifying than the orcs."

The fast rope behind him nodded fiercely.

Walking on the "street" between the fortress and the fortress, Thales looked around in surprise and anxiousness: He quickly appreciated the "features" of the Bladeya camp.

The architectural style here is not even as orderly as an ordinary Star Village, but the chaos is comparable to the shield district of Longxiao City and the Xiacheng District of Yongxing City.

Between the yellow sand and gravel, there are people coming and going everywhere, because the road between the fortresses is uneven and the width is different, which makes it more chaotic and disorderly. The dressing style of the people on the street is in harmony with the people from the North. The star people Thales had seen were completely different, light and shaded, and many people covered their heads.

And if you add sound to this picture...

"Dragon Kiss Ground Velvet, which the king can't enjoy, only sells two silver coins in a bundle!"

"Do you want to know the story of your life? An authentic descendant of wild bones, a favorite of the desert gods, fortunetelling your fate, six copper coins at once..."

"Hey, handsome boy, don’t you feel lonely when you sleep alone at night...Want to see my face? Why don’t you look at my legs? Yes, I’m a man...Eh, you’re wrong, If you don’t believe me, just come and touch it. I’m worse than a woman. Hey, you’ve touched it, so I want to go? Come, look at my pectoralis major and fists, look at the brothers behind me, You say it again: Give or not, give or not, give or not!"

"Want to kill someone in particular? Hate someone in particular? Want to be someone else's wife? Experienced and **** mercenary horse, ten gold coins to help you kill! Make sure not to do it in the city, in a clean way , The corpse throwing is neat, not illegal, and well-known! Now you can pay the deposit first, and then pay the balance after the task is completed!"

"What? You said I stole your wallet? Grandma's, do you look like someone who would steal your things? Look at this again. Is this your wallet? Yes, that's right! I never Don’t steal, it’s robbed! Go to your grandma!"

"Believers! Lambs! The disaster is coming, and the night will return, and believers can live! Now go to the Temple of the Night and watch the latest drama "The God of the Night and the Queen of the Revival King Have to Say "Story", there is a chance to get an unexpected reward-ah? This is not allowed to be performed? Hey, you heard it wrong, I was talking about the latest drama "The Story of the God of the Night and the Queen of a Founding King"-eh What are you doing——Let me go——Woo, you don’t——You can’t interfere with the freedom of art————Mingye will return——Help!"

"Receive weapons, weapons! Knives, guns, swords, axes, bows, shields and spear hammers, whether it is second-hand or new, whether you use it for military use or private storage, priority is given to large quantities and fair prices!"

"What about the camp closure? Trader Billy will help you! Detour the desert from the east, avoid patrols, absolutely safe! Comfortable camel team, go straight to Sera Principality, one gold coin!"

Merchants selling along the street, mercenaries with knives, hurried adventurers, prostitutes who barely exposed all the exposed parts, of course, hordes of big soldiers are indispensable, and they are bustling along the way, so lively .

Dante’s great swords are used to squeezing through these weird and varied crowds, and from time to time they use fierce eyes and unceremonious movements to scare away many people who are eager to move-according to McGee, it is Thales." "The appearance of a white pig" has attracted the attention of many people. If they were not fully armed, the trouble would have been more.

They finally turned around a fortress with a window, and came to a less narrow and closed open space.

Dean stopped and said solemnly: "I have to go to the guard room and find Frank. He needs to know this time."

"I'll go with you," Luisa said with a sad expression: "I am the captain after all."

Dean nodded.

McGee glanced at Dean, then at Louisa, and sighed: "Then... I'll take care of the extra equipment."

"Then let's go to'my house' and meet Seaman and the others," Old Hammer said: "By the way, help Wiya ask about his family's whereabouts."

Thyls was taken aback, but before he had time to say anything, the mercenaries scattered around in a tacit understanding.

And he was dragged by the fast rope, followed behind the old hammer, and turned on another remote road.

"Let me tell you," Kuaisheng sighed, "You don't know how terrible this place is. When I first came, I met a beautiful young lady, and it turned out...well, life is impermanent. Wiya, you have to cherish life, for example..."

Tyles smiled ugly and looked at the old hammer for help.

Old Hammer smiled when he heard the words, and without hesitation, he interrupted the fast line to start business.

"It is said that at the earliest there were only sand dunes and no camps. Until a long time ago, a caravan spontaneously built a fortress for rest. As more people entered and exited the desert from here, the fortresses grew one after another. The land increased...until it was comparable to a small town, a certain star king or a certain Western Wilderness Duke took it down."

"Obviously, the location here is too important...Although the Bladeya camp has been entrusted to many families, most of the families have died out due to the harassment of the war and the desert."

"After the Scarlet Years, this place became the fief of Baron Williams, but he was not a vassal of the Falkenhauser family, but a direct vassal of the king-I used to doubt whether he could get from here There is enough tax in the fief without even cultivated land, but obviously, let’s look at it now..."

Old hammer looked at the strange people and strangers all over the street and shrugged.

Thyls nodded.

"Bladeya camp is a famous chaotic place, with more opportunities and more dangers," Old Hammer sighed and said to Thales with nostalgia and emotion: "Many criminals in the kingdom have been sentenced to exile here. Some go to the prison of bones, some go to the death squad, and those who survive become residents of this city—I don’t know whether to call it a city—plus the surrounding farmers who can’t survive. , Craftsmen, big soldiers who have nowhere to go, just like this."

"During the war, it is more exaggerated here."

Tyles went uphill, and the noise around him suddenly became quieter.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a tall tower behind a round bunker.

It is twenty to thirty meters long, slender and towering. It seems to stand in the middle of the open space of many fortresses, but it is far away from other buildings, making it particularly isolated.

Thyls couldn't help noticing that the tower was sparsely populated, and people who had been shouting in every way were strangely silent when they passed it, turned their heads to look elsewhere, and walked away quickly.

As if afraid of something.

Tyles narrowed his eyes, and he saw: The tallest window on the top of the tower was sealed with wooden bars.

Sparsely populated tall buildings...

Thyls moved in his heart.

"That tower is really high, is there a big man living in it?"

The boy asked strangely.

Old Hammer followed his gaze, and his face suddenly sank.

"No."

"The nobles never live there, and I guess Baron Williams is not there either...that tower is called the "Prince of Ghosts"."

"For so many years, no one should dare to live there."

Thyls frowned:

"What prince?"

"I know I know!" Quickly the eyebrows danced: "The legend in the bladeya camp...there is ominous in that tower..."

"Shh!" But the old hammer severely interrupted him.

"Eighteen years ago... in the Scarlet Year, the Desolate Tribe and the orcs once captured the Sabreya camp. I was serving here at that time."

I saw the veteran look tense, pointing to the tower: "Before the camp fell, a noble prince—I mean the king’s son, a real royal bloodline, not a prince in a fairy tale—came to the early western period. , Came to the blade Ya camp, and the laborers took control."

"He lives there, the tallest tower in Camp Bladeya."

Tyles felt tight.

He looked at the lonely tower with an ominous premonition.

"In a dark night, the prince went from there, from the highest window..."

"I was pushed down by someone."

Thyls was stunned.

He looked at the window at the farthest point of view, which was sealed by wooden bars, and his gaze slowly moved from there to the lowest clearing.

Suddenly there was a chill.

"The following story, I heard other people say after I retired," the old hammer exhaled slowly: "It is said that King Kessel caught the murderer after the war."

"As punishment, he locked up the murderer and the accomplice in the highest room, starting from the first floor and burning up."

Quickline let out a breath and curled his mouth.

"Many people couldn't stand the fire and jumped out of that window to pay for the death of the prince."

"Whether it was burned to death or fell to death, the screams and wailing of the prisoners disappeared in the first hour," Old Hammer's voice became cold and clear: "But the fire burned for a whole day ."

"The strange thing is that the tower still stands upright—and the most mysterious thing is that after the flame goes out, no matter the exterior wall or interior, it doesn’t even have a trace of burns."

Quick rope pursed his mouth, and as the old hammer explained, he nodded seriously, his eyes solemn.

Thyls stared fixedly at the tower, seeing its appearance intact, his scalp tingling slightly.

"From then on, all kinds of strange things have happened there-from singing in the middle of the night to ghosts in the windows, and even faintly screaming and wailing, and even the sound of burning flames, even in broad daylight... the baron can’t Do not seal that window."

"The nobles who were stationed here once wanted to live in...but..."

The old hammer shook his head silently.

"Anyone who lived there died in the desert and never came back. Even the luggage relics were never removed."

"So everyone said that the tower was cursed by the prince's death."

The old hammer pulled Thales back a bit, who was approaching there unknowingly.

His expression is ugly:

"From then on, the locals call it "Ghost Prince"."

The fast rope shook his head and tongue.

Thyls stared blankly at the gloomy, deserted tower.

Ghost Prince...

"Who?"

The boy asked blankly: "The one who died there..."

"Which prince is it?"

The old hammer shook his head.

"Forgot," the veteran said with a sullen expression: "I only looked at him from a distance when he entered the camp."

"The prince is very handsome, more prettier than a girl."

He looks very beautiful.

Tyles swallowed his throat.

An old name came to mind.

The ghost prince.

"But what's the use of being handsome," the old hammer snorted and looked at the clearing under the "Ghost Prince" with a misty look:

"That night, I was the first patrolman to arrive. And I remember clearly, that beautiful prince..."

He sighed slowly:

"The face touches the ground first."
