Chapter 944 (1/2)
The northern continent and the western continent, which were the favorite places for exquisite party players in the game. Because many of the historical gaps that have now been lost and created faults can actually find some clues for the party to infer in these two continental boundaries.
For example, the northern solitary tower is actually separated from the overlooking spire. It is inferred that after some players found clues in the northern continent, it took several months to finally connect the relevant complete history. However, even if the northern solitary tower is separated from the overlooking spire, in fact, the relationship between the two mage towers has never deteriorated. Most of the time, they maintain a spirit of mutual discussion.
However, the location of the overlooking spire is indeed very hidden. If you want to go to the overlooking spire, you must start from the isolated tower in the north.
In addition, the Emilia empire in the western continent still maintains the five oldest families on the continent today.
These are the beauty of history.
Unfortunately, there are too few people who can understand these beautiful histories.
Like the black iron city of count hecarom, most people will only think that the name of the city is vulgar, and that the name of black iron castle is also as bad. Count hecarom's taste is really bad or something. But in fact, only a few people know that there is a black iron realm before the bronze realm, which refers to the separate class of second-order strength.
In the words of players, it is a probation period from apprenticeship to principal.
The first level is apprenticeship, the second level is black iron, and the third level is bronze.
It's just that the saying about black iron has never been used since the end of the era of chaos. Now the mainland's argument is that the second order is directly incorporated into the ranks of apprentices, but the first order is a low-level apprentice, and the second order is a high-level apprentice, that's all.
Since count hecarom's black iron city and black iron Castle use this ”vulgar” name, the only thing that can prove is that these two places must be relics left before the era of chaos. I just don't know what consideration count hecarom took. He didn't change the names of these two places, but still adopted the old title of ”black iron”.
When Sean, Emily and Shawshank arrived at blackIron City, it was the third afternoon of their departure from dunma town - in fact, they only spent a little more than two days on the whole journey. However, Sean did not stay in the city. After arriving, he hired three horses again, and then ran all the way to blackIron castle. At midnight, he finally reached the gate of blackIron castle.
The old fortress was built on the top of a mountain.
This mountain is called duanfeng mountain because there are no peaks on the whole mountain - at an altitude of about 300 meters, the peaks of the whole mountain are cut off by the waist, revealing a very flat platform. The black iron castle is built here directly, occupying the whole platform on the top of the mountain without leaving any gap. Therefore, if you want to climb the mountain, you can only climb the cliff on the other side of the mountain except the front mountain path.
However, this steep cliff is not easy to climb, and count hecarom has arranged a 24-hour sentry here for a long time. It is completely impossible to deceive the sentry and successfully sneak into the castle.
Standing at the gate of the castle, Sean looked up at the castle.
There are not only hidden arrow holes and arrow stacks, but also the erection of arrow towers is very rigorous: there are eight arrow towers facing the main gate in the front, which can cover the front of the whole mountain top. Sean estimated that if he wanted to attack the castle, the front could only accommodate about 300 people at most, but as long as there was a volley attack from the arrow hole, arrow pier and arrow tower, basically two-thirds of the people would die.
The siege ladder is obviously unlikely to be able to build the wall - if you have to build the wall, I'm afraid you really have to spend your life to fill the gap. As for the cloud tower and siege vehicle, Sean looked back at the mountain road. Obviously, it is impossible to transport them to the mountain, so these two siege tools naturally can't play a role.
This is a fortress that is really easy to defend and difficult to attack.
If you want to win the castle, even the most famous generals who are good at attacking the city can only honestly use two methods: either fill it with their lives or besiege it.
But with Sean's understanding of the meaning of the word ”black iron”, it is obvious that it is not easy to besiege. He can even guess that most of the interior of the mountain must have been hollowed out, and there must be a large amount of food, arrows and other armaments. In addition, there must be other secret escape routes for the castle owner to escape when he is in complete despair.
And when he went up the mountain, Sean also keenly noticed that the situation of the mountain road was somewhat different, and there were very obvious artificial traces in many places. Sean guessed that these traces must be buried with alchemical explosives or something that can make the mountain collapse. When necessary, they can also give the enemy a counterattack similar to dying together.
This is not only an easy to defend but also a very dangerous mountain.
The master of the castle, count hecarom, Anton semes, soon opened the middle door of the castle and came out with a happy face.
Sean's mouth was slightly raised: open the middle door. It's a very advanced greeting etiquette.
However, he knew very well that the Earl named Anton semes was not here to meet them. Only Shawshank, the God of war knight he had failed to attract for a long time, could really be seen by him.
