She Is Not a Witch Chapter 236: Glyph Fortress
Wearing a white cloak coat, Lily hugged Hells, and followed the knights in front of her as she galloped all the way. There were also many people around her and behind her, which made her feel a little at ease.
The horseshoes step on the snow-covered mountains, bringing up slush and dust. Under the sunlight, the fluffy and scattered snow particles form a short and beautiful rainbow light, and then dissipate.
The air in his breath was still cold and dry, but the afternoon sun fell on his body, which finally added a little warmth.
They follow the route, move fast, slowly enter the uphill road, and then gradually slow down.
On both sides of the road are towering mountain walls, with sporadic evergreen trees growing in the gaps between the rocks.
Because the large army attracted the attention of the Rose Knights, by the time they were caught in the snow fog due to chasing, Lily and the group had already escaped from it and changed directions.
Although such a method will be noticed by Darcy and others sooner or later, at least it bought Lily precious time.
Two days later, the Rose Knights led by Darcy finally caught up with the northern knights who were rushing north. After they were defeated and scattered, they didn't find Lily. Only then did they realize that they had been deceived.
"Damn it." He drew out his long sword and swung it down, cutting a stone beside him in half, and quickly regained his composure.
"This can't happen again."
After this short-term failure, Dalsey sent the extremely fast letter bird to notify the emperor of the imperial capital, and then brought people back to look for Lily's trace.
Only one day later, 30 Giant Eagle Knights from the original Sequence 6 arrived at the northern border, accompanied by three Huiri Golden Dragons from the Dragon Sequence 7, which were a small number of elites directly belonging to the royal family.
Compared to the Duke of Red Dragon, the Baskar family bred a large number of red dragons, and the number of golden dragons in the royal family is exceptionally small. Now there are only a dozen or so, and they are still scattered everywhere. In the past, these golden dragons were used more for ceremonies than for battles.
The dragon knights who control the golden dragon are all offshoots of the royal family. Although they received orders from the new emperor to assist Darcy in finding Lily, the three of them didn't seem to care, and even suspected of letting go.
For other people under the new emperor's command, this is a life-and-death struggle. They must let Lily and the little prince die in order to keep the new emperor's position stable, so that their own power can also be stable.
But for these three dragon knights, the situation is different. To them, Lily and the new emperor are actually not much different. The queen's impression is not bad, after all, the time of getting along is longer.
If it weren't for the new emperor now controlling the center of the empire, they really don't want to carry out this order.
Under the passive sabotage of the three giant dragons, and even their intentional blocking, the giant eagle knights took more time to re-determine Lily's position.
"Towards the Glyph Fortress?"
Darcy was a little puzzled, but quickly cast aside this doubt, and led the Rose Knights under his command to set out towards the east.
At this time, Lily and her party finally arrived under the huge gate of the Glyph Fortress.
The weather-beaten, cold and hard mountain wall full of mottled marks soars into the sky, giving pedestrians standing under its feet the illusion of being as small as dust, giving people a huge visual impact.
If there was anything familiar to describe Glyph Keep, it would be a mountainous city of tombstones.
The city wall is made up of huge rock slabs that are extremely wide and thick. There are traces of ancient stone carvings on the surface. Those scratches full of corrosion marks are ancient characters, expressing the past history.
'In the second era, in 287, the Kingdom of Silver Blade led an army of 830,000 elves to march westward, and was resisted by the consul Saifeng Shadowsong in this fortress. The silver elves were defeated and created an army of 420,000 resurrected undead, which greatly shook the morale and fighting spirit of the enemy. ’
'Second Epoch, 391, the year of the three crystal stones, the three kingdoms of the elves formed a coalition army for the first time, and once again sent an army of about 2.7 million to attack the fortress. The garrisoned dynasty consuls Ralph and Reinasha died in battle, the fortress was broken, and countless soldiers died in the burning of Cuilan's ghostly fire. ’
'Second Epoch, 546, the Year of the Winds of Death, the Consul Berenda and the wizards under his command used the legendary secret technique, Wind of Plague, successfully paralyzed the elf garrison in the fortress, and regained the place. ’
'Second Era, 712, the year of the oath, the dynasty decided to mobilize all forces to destroy the Three Kingdoms of the Elf. A total of 6.7 million living and dead troops marched towards the three kingdoms of the elves in 5 routes. Among them, 160,000 cursed cavalrymen led by the consul Xi Dilun, 200,000 soul splitting crossbowmen, 120,000 frozen ice halberds, and 500,000 skull shield swords Soldiers, stationed here, are all corpses, controlled and commanded by 60,000 necromancers. ’
'Second era, 803, the year of burning, three witches who destroyed the world came to the court of the elves and burned the world tree. The fire lasted for three years. ’
These huge tombstone-like stone walls are engraved with the past history. There are differences in the writing and traces, and it can be seen that they were made at different times. These stone wall tombstones are inserted into this magnificent mountain wall as if they were built by giants. The canyon between them formed a strong fortress, which has been eroded by time and has been maintained until now.
If you touch these black rock walls with your hands, you can feel the coldness and hardness that goes straight to your heart, the smoothness of the surface, and the small potholes in it.
Standing under this giant city gate that towered like a titan, Lily felt a kind of silent weight for the first time. If she was the general who attacked this fortress, she would probably feel desperate.
Thinking so, she waited under the city gate. After a long time, several northern knights who had entered the city to report came back.
"Your Majesty, we need to make a simple disguise. Perhaps it is a better choice for you to enter the city in a carriage."
Although Earl Feslin had a little kindness towards Lily and the others, allowing them to pass through smoothly, he would not oppose the new emperor because of this, so it was the best choice to pretend that Lily made up and escaped from the fortress unintentionally.
Lily expressed her understanding, and after waiting for a while, she took a carriage and slowly entered this fortified fortress.
Different from the bustling central part of the empire, the market here is obviously much cooler. Among the vendors on both sides of the street, there are fewer sellers of daily necessities, but more weapons and extraordinary materials. .
Walking on everyone, Lily even saw a few necromancers wearing black robes through the screen window. They were flanked by full-body armor, and extremely cold and powerful warriors. These existences were breathless, like dead things. generally.
Since the end of the dynasty, when there were fewer and fewer corpses available, many necromancer wizards began to develop in the direction of specialization. They no longer commanded huge armies of corpses, but carefully crafted powerful single necromancers. And continue to assist in various means to enhance its strength.
On the way through the street~IndoMTL.com~Some necromancers turned their gazes to this carriage curiously, as if they could see through obstacles and stare directly at the soul, which made people feel chills, but fortunately they always Lili was relieved to stand still on the spot without doing anything unnecessary.
When it was time to walk out of the fortress, several knights holding huge scythes walked through the street, wearing black armor and cloaks, and the horses under their crotches were also made of black bones, giving people a shock of fear.
But the few knights holding scythes paraded through the street, and the pedestrians on both sides, whether they were living wizards or dead skeleton warriors, avoided them one after another.
"That is the Death Scythe Knight of the Executioner Clan. It is said that after being killed by that scythe, even the soul will be annihilated, and even angels cannot resurrect life."
In the carriage, the gray-robed witch sitting in front of Lily looked at the figure not far outside the window, and introduced the queen in a low voice.
Looking at the death scythe knights in the distance suddenly turning around and walking towards this side, Lily couldn't help covering her mouth.
"Ah~" The voice was low and slightly flustered.
