As the last fortress of Tallon Fortress, the main fortress is extremely strong and steep. It is more like a tower that is difficult to conquer than a castle. The entrance is set in the air dozens of meters away from the last city wall. The heavy gate is made of bronze, and the narrow and long stone steps spiral up. It is the only way to enter this strong tower. For a fat man like Franco Bacon, the leader of the branch, these steps were really not very friendly, and the full set of armor made it even more difficult for him. Before he reached the halfway point, Franco had to stop and take a breath. Also give your sore feet a rest. Serian was so anxious that he could not sit still, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He had not rested for more than a minute. He had already raised his head and looked in the direction of the door several times, for fear that the figure of Marquis Dragunson would suddenly appear in the open door. Behind the gate. The fourth time he raised his head a few seconds later, the sound of heavy footsteps had already reached Serian's ears in advance. The first-class staff member raised his eyes with a pale face and saw a majestic and resolute figure slowly walking down the steps. He was wearing a full-face helmet on his head and an undecorated steel plate armor with a gray steel fist on his chest. Big badge. "Your Majesty, Lord Marquis Dragunson" Selian groaned in a voice that seemed to be suffocated. "Seren Op." The tall figure replied in a low and deadly voice, "It's me, First Division Commander Toth Collison." Selian's expression did not change because of the visitor's answer. To look better, the first division leader Tote Collison is nicknamed the Shadow of the Steel Fist. He is almost as close as the clone of Marquis Dragunson. At certain times, he often replaces Marquis Dragunson in giving orders and commanding. Fight, and even attend military meetings above the level of company captain. "Why are you? Oh, gods, I am really derelict in my duties as a staff member. The news about the traitors outside the city has disturbed the Marquis?" "The Marquis has indeed known the news and sent me to greet those Unexpected guest." Tot Collison answered bluntly, and then glanced at Franco Bacon who was shrinking aside with a cold gaze, "The Marquis just named him and asked Franco to accompany him. I went to greet the guests together. It seems that this time it saved us some precious time." Franco looked as if he had just swallowed a little mouse alive, which was both tragic and funny. "Your Majesty the Marquis is special. Nameme?" He stammered and repeated, "Captain of the Ogg branch, but why is it me?" Toth Collison's face has always been cold and tense, and now it is even more like wearing a mask. A leather mask, "You can go to see the Marquis and ask for the reason personally." He raised his chin towards the spiraling stone steps, "I can wait here for a while." "No, no, I'm not That¡¯s what I mean.¡± Franco shook his head repeatedly, his plump cheeks swaying from side to side with this movement, ¡°Of course Mr. Marquis¡¯s decision makes sense, Mr. Ogg, what should I do now?¡± ¡°Shut up and follow me?¡± ." Tot Collison replied expressionlessly, and then strode towards the inner city wall, his heavy footsteps making a series of clanging sounds on the stone steps. The appearance of First Division Commander Toth Collison surprised many people, but for Captain Deborah Company of the Guard Army, it was a relief that made him feel relaxed. Since the Shadow of the Steel Fist has come, of course there is no need for a little guy like him to get in the way. Captain Deborah happily handed over the scale badge to the Ogg branch leader, as if he was sending a red hot ball. of charcoal. The leader of the Ogg branch glanced at the badge in his hand. Bronze, red copper and black iron are not precious metals, but to be perfectly forged together is not a simple process. The moist light on the badge is even more difficult to forge, and can only be formed after years of divine magic. "Open the door." After carefully stuffing the badge into the inside of the breastplate, the captain of the Og team raised his voice and ordered, "Welcome the guests from the Monastery of the Lord of Justice." His order was quickly executed, as the hinge There was a friction sound with the turntable, and the two copper-clad oak doors on the north side of the fortress slowly opened, rust and dust rustling down, because it was the first time since the Griffin Emperor personally visited Tallon Fortress fifteen years ago. After that, these two doors were opened for the first time. "Considering that the dead eldest son only made us wait for half an hour, Marquis Dragunson's attitude seems quite friendly?" Seeing the two doors slowly opening, Tomad, who was wearing a pilgrim's silver-plated armor, He tilted his head slightly and whispered to Silva, who was wearing the Chief Pilgrim shoulder button badge beside him. "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe he has deployed all his manpower in the past half hour, and plans to wait until we enter the fortress gate, then close the door and catch them all." Silva said half-jokingly and half-seriously.He replied, and then winked at Dean Kurgan on the other side, "Mr. Dean, does what I say make sense?" There is no one in the whole team who is worse than Dean Kurgan. Suitable for people wearing armor and helmets. Although the elderly abbot received training in riding horses and using long swords when he was young, it had been more than ten years since he last put on armor. What's more, what he is wearing are sacred relics from hundreds of years ago. Displaying them in a crystal showcase is obviously more reassuring than wearing them. Upon hearing Sylva's inquiry, Dean Kurgan stroked his snow-white beard and said with a smile, "I don't think so. Marquis Dragunson does have a violent and strong personality, but this does not mean that Tallon Fortress The guardian is a fool. In my opinion, he will definitely try his best to create some problems for us, but he will never blatantly initiate internal strife. No matter whether he wins or loses, he cannot afford the consequences. " "Master Dean, if you do this. It will make Tomad even more proud." Silva shrugged helplessly, and then turned his attention to a group of knights riding from the city gate. "Oh, Lord of Justice, look at the guy taking the lead. He looks like a giant. Could it be Marquis Dragunson?" Dean Kurgan narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of Silva's finger. , "That should be the first branch leader of the Knights of the Steel Fist, Tot Collison." The old man shook his head slightly and said, "He is the most trusted and relied upon subordinate of Marquis Dragunson, and in many cases The speeches made on the occasion can represent the meaning of Marquis Dragunson. "The team that came from the fortress gate advanced slowly and stopped about 200 meters away from Tomad and others. This is a safe distance that does not pose an excessive threat, for both parties. Tot Collison continued to move forward alone, revealing a stern face like a marble sculpture behind his lifted face shield. "I am Lord Thoth Collison." The first branch leader of the Knights of the Steel Fist announced in a low and rigid voice, "Golben, the guardian of Tallon Fortress, Margrave of the Empire, and the leader of the Knights of the Steel Fist. "Lord Dragunson sent me here to express his greetings to the leader of this army." After briefly looking at each other with Sylva and Dean Kurgan, Tomad lightly kicked the horse's belly and crossed. Stand out from the crowd. "I am Tomad An" As soon as he introduced himself, there was an obvious gasp in the team behind Lord Thoth, "He is the God of Death with the Eyes!" A hoarse voice shouted, "Captain of the Ogg branch, the eldest son of the Marquis died in his hands!" The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense because of these words. Whether they were pilgrims or steel fist knights, many people subconsciously pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords. , cast a vigilant gaze towards the opposite side. It was eerily quiet for a while, and all you could hear was the sound of the flag being blown by the strong wind. Lord Thoth's deep voice then broke the silence. "Shut your mouth, First Class Staff Sergeant. Marquis Dragunson sent me to greet guests from afar. Other than that, there are no restrictions on the identity of the guests." After saying this, , he turned his black eyes like the silent deep sea to Thomas, "I have admired this name for a long time, Thomas. Ann, I didn't expect The Marquis probably didn't expect that you would have the courage to come here." "How many times?" "I didn't think of it a month ago," Tomad replied quietly, his golden eyes flashing with rapid thinking, "Lord Toth, do you need to ask the Marquis of Steel Fist for instructions again?" "No. , No need." After Lord Toth was silent for a few seconds, he replied in a cold tone, "As I said just now, Lord Marquis de Dragunson sent me to greet the guests and had no other instructions." First. As the branch leader said this, he turned his horse's head and made a "please come in" gesture. "As for whether anything will happen when you meet the Earl, it depends on whether you have the courage to meet him." A fearless smile appeared on Tomad's face, "Why not?" He was thinking. As he caught up with Lord Toth, he said in a deliberately low voice, "I think you still have the courage to meet an imperial marquis on the territory of the Griffin Empire." Lord Toth did not comment, and just silently led the way. , walking towards the tall fortress lying prone in front of me like a black giant beast. Franco, the leader of the second branch, turned his fat face and glanced at each other with the first-class staff member Sai Lian beside him. Both of them saw panic and helplessness in the other's eyes. "Gods be damned, I just saw Catles and his men in that team." When the figures of Lord Thoth and Tomad disappeared behind the fortress gate, Franco's branch leader was a little worried. He complained in a low voice impatiently, "They look like they have been through a battle. Lord Sailian, could it be that they have already encounteredthose guys?" "Probablyno." Sailian The sound comes from bitingHe squeezed out from his teeth, "The roaring warriors of the barbarian beasts are not that easy to deal with. I estimate that we can let hundreds of people pass through. Even if the team in front of us can win, it will cause huge casualties You Do they look like someone is injured now?" Franco branch leader squinted his eyes and shook his head. "I didn't see anyone injured." "That's it." Sailian's tone was extremely firm, as if this could persuade him not to panic, "Let's follow quickly, maybe things are not as bad as we thought. The Marquis will most likely get furious when he sees his murderer, and then everything will be settled."
