Chapter 16: Batnon, the city on the top of the mountain

The Yunxiao Giant supported Arthur and Asina over the two hills and happened to meet the Yunxiao Giant team coming to greet them.

The team consists of thirty Yunxiao giants, leading by a Yunxiao giant squadron leader who is slightly larger than the tribe. The team brought five pedestal dragons used by Bad Nong City to welcome guests.

The pedestal dragon belongs to the Luxing Yalong, and is a servant given to the giant dragon clan by the giant dragon clan. The adult pedestal dragon has a body of more than ten meters long and has infinite strength. It crawls between the mountains like walking on flat ground.

The base dragon is brown all over, with a pointed and long horn spitting forward, pillar-like limbs and long tail. The base dragon is gentle in nature, and the long horns on the forehead are their main weapons.

The five pedestal dragons had thick blankets on their wide backs, and they cleverly tied the table and chair to the pedestal dragon's body with ropes.

Seeing the captain of Yunxiao Giant put Arthur and Asina on his shoulders, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the leading squadron leader, and Arthur keenly captured it.

According to the customs of Yunxiao Giant, they will only put respectable people on their shoulders. The team leader of Yunxiao Giant did this to show that these two human legends are not simple.

Later, the captain of the Yunxiao Giant put down Arthur and Asina, walked to the commander and muttered a few words. Then, the face of the Yunxiao Giant Squadron immediately changed.

Arthur knew that the captain of Yunxiao Giant must have told the commander about the appearance of reincarnation.

"Dear guest, please."

The giant Yunxiao stretched out the smallest right hand of the car and signaled Arthur to sit on the pedestal dragon.

"OK."

Arthur smiled lightly, jumped gently onto the pedestal dragon's wide back, and sat down on a chair made of obviously precious wood.

Asina sat on the back of another pedestal dragon.

The Yunxiao Giant Squad, who had seen fireworks running over, was a patrol team outside Batnon City, a patrol team composed of ten legends... which was quite luxurious. The patrol team bowed respectfully to Arthur, then turned around to continue their mission.

Then, thirty giants of the sky drove the pedestal dragon and advanced towards the legendary mountaintop city of Batnon.

With the existence of the pedestal dragon, the team's progress greatly accelerated. In just four hours, Arthur had already come to see the towering castles and temples in the distance.

Bathon City is a complex of buildings built around eleven peaks, with the most important buildings being seven castles and four temples. The average altitude of these eleven peaks is one thousand meters. The highest peak is built at the top of the Astia Castle, the heart of the Cloud Giant. Four temples are built on the four peaks at the next highest peak, and six castles are built for defense on the six peaks.

This is the origin of Batnon's famous city on the top of the mountain.

Two more hours passed, and the team of Yunxiao giants took Arthur and Asina to the outermost castle, a castle built at the foot of the mountain.

This castle, called Il, is a standard military fortress, used to protect the temple and other castles mostly in the old, young, and young. Arthur noticed that the castle built against the mountain had no real wall, only about six meters of chest wall, which should have provided cover for the Yunxiao Giant during the battle.

As one of the two most powerful races in the Jinglan Continent, although giants do not have the advantage of flying dragons and outstanding understanding of magic, they have dexterous hands and a whimsical head. Building the city on a mountain proves this.

The giants were the original alchemists, and the Yunxiao giants were among the best. Of course, their cities were filled with various alchemy props. For example, the magic cannon, which was more terrifying than Arthur's previous life's train cannon.

Yunxiao Giant's magic cannon uses magic cores as energy. A sixth-level magic core can only provide this kind of ultimate weapon with a range of up to ten kilometers, and its power is enough to destroy a mountain to fire a shot!

During the Doomsday War, Prometheus once asked the Giants to provide forging methods for magic cannons, but was rejected. The Giants would never allow such weapons that could threaten the survival of the Giants to flow into human hands, just like the dragon soul warship of the Dragon Clan.

Arthur noticed that there were two caves guarded by heavy troops in the mountain wall of Il Castle. This should be the turret of the magic cannon. A fortress that guards important positions also only have two magic cannons. This indirectly shows that the production cost of the magic cannon is either astronomical or extremely cumbersome, and even the Yunxiao Giant does not have much equipment.

However, this does not stop Arthur from coveting the magic cannon. The most important component of the magic cannon is the energy conversion device, which is the type of device that can convert the energy in the magic core into an extremely powerful cannonball.

During the Doomsday War, the Roman Empire was lucky enough to get an intact magic cannon. However, due to the inability to disassemble, the energy conversion device destroyed itself, and it also used the two best alchemists in the empire at that time.

The correct disassembly method is more difficult for others than climbing to the sky, but for Arthur it is as easy as eating and drinking water. Arthur's soul ability is to do something to see people's eyes.

The most difficult thing for Arthur is how to obtain a complete magic cannon... Arthur can't help but trick the giant in the sky again.

"Dear guest, we'll rest here today."

The captain of the Yunxiao Giant Squadron said.

"OK."

Arthur patted his head and said with some annoyance, "Look at my memory! I haven't asked your name yet."

"Oz. Uria."

The captain of the Yunxiao Giant Squadron said calmly.

"Ah! Are you a member of the royal family? You are so respectful."

Arthur was surprised to hear the name of Ounce. The Yunxiao Giant named Uria is the direct descendant of the first generation of Yunxiao Giant, Uria, and has the purest bloodline of Yunxiao Giant. This also explains why Ounce is taller than his companions.

"I hope you remember the name Oz."

Obviously, Ounce is a proud giant in the sky.

"I understand what you think."

Arthur didn't care about Ounce's offense. He said with some slight slightest words, "You stay in Bathon City, and the only one outsiders will notice Uria."

An expression of thought appeared on Angzi's face. Later, he shook his head and said to Arthur, "Great Guest, please follow me."

That night, the Yunxiao Giant built a museum for outsiders.

The average height of humanoid creatures in Jinglan continent is mostly no more than two meters. They naturally cannot live in houses where the Yunxiao giants often have more than ten meters, even if these houses are exquisite like works of art.

Therefore, the Yunxiao Giant built a building suitable for foreigners to live in each castle.

Unlike the Titan Giant's Troy City and the Frost Giant's Crystal City, the special environment of the Sunset Mountains makes Barthon rarely have outsiders. With the height of the Yunxiao Giant, it is obvious that these houses about four meters can not be cleaned.

Therefore, what Arthur and Asina saw was a small villa covered with dust.

Ounce obviously knew the current situation of the hotel. He looked red and said embarrassedly, "Great Guest, I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter."

Arthur waved his hand and interrupted Angle's apology, "When he was practicing, he even had a wooden house that could shelter from the wind and rain."

Arthur tilted his head and said to Asina, "Let's clean it up."

"Ah... OK."

Compared to Arthur's enthusiasm, Asina seemed a little hesitant. Arthur understood the reason after thinking a little. Asina was born into a great nobleman in the Rogue clan, and she has been doing well since she was a child and cleaned the house... I'm afraid she has never seen her in her more than a thousand years of life.

Arthur was different. His parents in his previous life paid great attention to cultivating his abilities. He asked him to clean his room alone since he was eight years old. This made him feel a little unfamiliar at the beginning, but he quickly regained his feelings in his previous life.

"I didn't expect you to do this."

As the gray room gradually showed its gorgeous and bright true appearance in Arthur's hands, Asina said in a complimentary tone.

"It's nothing. Doing these small things can actually temper a person's character. Ancient sages once said, "How can you wipe out the world if you don't sweep a house?"

Arthur used his usual tricks and made the idea of ​​his previous life an excuse in ancient times, "Doing these small things can actually temper a person's character. Besides, details determine success or failure."

Speaking of this, Arthur wiped the dust on his face, but he didn't want to turn himself into a big blurred face. When he saw the smile that could not be concealed in Asina's eyes, he couldn't help but smile after he turned his eyes and understood the reason.

"Arthur, are you sure to convince the giant in the sky?"

In the past, Asina always called Arthur, and she always used my master or little guy. Now she called her name directly, and her relationship with Arthur became even further, "They respect for reincarnation, not you."

"I see."

Arthur nodded and said, "To be honest, I'm not sure. But if I don't try it, I'm always a little unwilling to give up."

Arthur continued after thinking for a moment, "This journey has two purposes. One is to recruit races willing to serve Crystal Castle, and the other is to open up trade routes. The second purpose can actually be considered complete. Walking south from Bathnon City out of the Sunset Mountains is the territory of Clark, the third-class duke of Parker Empire."

"If Cloros dealt with Clark, the most effective move was to close the White Stone Fort. This border fortress was controlled by Cloros's confidants, and the orders against Cloros would never be slandered or delayed. But Duke Clark was different. As long as I gave up some of the benefits, he would definitely take the bait, who had long been coveting the wealth of Clark Fort and allowed Clark Fort to use his territory to sell goods."

Arthur smiled contemptuously, "Carrying the bribes from the Crystal Castle in the left hand and the Parker Merchant's taxes in the right hand. Clark would wake up in a dream of such a good thing."

"So it doesn't matter whether Yunxiao Giant will help you protect the trade route?"

Asina jams.

"Yes. My main purpose is to convince the Yunxiao Giant to send some of his tribe members to join the Crystal Castle."

Arthur's deep eyes stared at the dark night outside the window, "I hope the words I prepared will be useful."

The next morning.

The giant clouds. Uria's loud voice rang out early outside the hall, urging Arthur and Asina to get on the road early. Fortunately, Arthur and Asina's lives were very regular, so they quickly came out.

This time only Ounce accompanied Arthur and Asina. Ounce's explanation is that it is absolutely safe from Il Castle to Astia Castle where the patriarch is located, and does not require so many warriors to escort.

From the words of the ounce, Arthur keenly realized that the control of Yunxiao Giant would be greatly weakened when he walked out of Bathon City. The patrol team dozens of kilometers away had Yunxiao Giant accompanied him since he released the communication fireworks... They all reflected from the side that the surroundings of Bathon City were not so calm.

Arthur couldn't help feeling a little ashamed of his suspicion of the Yunxiao Giant. He originally thought that the Yunxiao Giant followed him in the name of greeting, but now it is probably protection.

With the strength of the Yunxiao Giant and the Dragon of the Pedestal, from Il Castle to Astiya Castle located on the hillside of the next mountain, it took only a few dozen minutes. Arthur chatted with Ounz along the way and learned that among the six castles outside the city of Batnon, there was a Yunxiao Giant from the Uria family responsible for the protection and welcome of outsiders. Those with communication fireworks would greet them in person, and those who broke in without advance notice would also be sent in by the patrol team on the periphery.

Arthur also carefully tested what happened in Badnon City, but he didn't want to say it out loud.

From the mouth of the Anniversary, the natives of the Sunset Mountains, which had been suppressed by Batnon City for hundreds of years, were very restless and showed signs of attacking Batnon City.

In addition, the Yunxiao giant discovered the figure of the hell demon in the army composed of the natives of the Sunset Mountains.

Chaos Legion?

After listening to Ounce's explanation, Arthur's first thought was the Chaos Legion. The Burning Legion at the end of last year was injuring his muscles and was still hiding in the occupied area and licking his wounds. They could not incite the natives of the Sunset Mountains to attack Badnon City.

On the contrary, the Chaos Legion lost only high-end combat power, but the army had almost no losses. The most important thing is that Tristram was in the hands of the Chaos Legion, and it was obviously easier for them to replenish their troops than the Burning Legion.

In 1404, the Chaos Legion attempted to attack Lu Gaoyin from the underground through various false actions, but failed.

In 1405, the Burning Legion drew the occupying forces in the controlled area to cooperate with the Chaos Legion to attack Danasus, but failed.

Now, the demon of the Chaos Legion appears on the territory of the Yunxiao Giant...
