Chapter 15 - Fort Arak

"Is this Alakahan Castle?" The reincarnators in the team, looking at the behemoths appearing on the horizon, exclaimed sincerely.

In the vast Araka Plain, a magnificent stone fort stands on the ground. Arakahan Castle is conical in shape, with five walls from top to bottom. The main body is actually a towering rock mountain, and the five walls are all polished by the original cliffs.

The interior of the Arakahan Fort is well-connected. The entire rock mountain has been hollowed out for years and turned into a huge fortress covered in rock armor. The three walls above are equipped with long-range trenchers and magic crystal cannons, while the two walls below are equipped with relatively close ranges of crossbows and arrow towers.

At the top of the Arakahan Castle is a huge honeycomb stone castle, which is the nest of the two-legged flying dragon. The bottom wall has eight entrances, and the door opening is very wide, allowing six horses to enter side by side. The city gate is a huge thousand-pound gate wrapped in iron.

"Chir!" A clear eagle crow sounded in the sky. The bald eagle circled and landed on Susan's arm. After a while, the girl took out some jerky meat from her waist and fed it to the bald eagle, and then let it fly again, and walked towards Serpis and Xu Mo.

"Two sirs, a team of cavalry came towards us from the direction of Fort Arakahan!" Susan replied quickly.

"The team is divided into three rows in front, middle and back, scattering the formation, and let the messengers go to the back row. If the opponent is an enemy, notify the eight knights in the back row and protect the messengers to retreat to the forest that passed by half a day ago." Serpis's eyes flashed and he conveyed the order to the team.

As soon as the escort team dispersed, everyone immediately heard the rumbling sound of horse hooves. On the horizon in the distance of the plain, a black line swept towards them like a whirlwind. Although the number of knights on the opposite side was not large, the uniform movements and the dazzling light of the sunlight casting on the armor made these knights look like an unstoppable torrent of steel.

The horses in the escort team sniffled uneasyly. Although the opponent began to slow down the horse's speed at about a distance of about 100 meters, they still pressed down on everyone's hearts like huge rocks.

Looking at the armored knights on the opposite side, Xu Mo understood in his heart that neither he nor Sepis nor even Odin, the commander of the Temple of Gods, would have been able to stop the charges of these armored knights.

However, deep in Xu Mo's consciousness, he had some clarity of enlightenment. If he could survive under the charge of the heavy-armed knight, then his Shadow Dance or Ghost Step would definitely be promoted to a star skill.

"Yu Yuyu!" The armored knight paused at a distance of dozens of meters. A tall knight came out, and the mount stood up, turned around, and stepped down heavily with his front hooves.

"Are you from the king of Woot? Which is His Excellency Shepis?"

"I am!" Shepis pulled the horse forward a few steps.

"Do you carry His Highness Brian's token?" the Knight turned his horse's head and asked in a deep voice.

"Of course!" Xuepis' heart moved, and he took out a broken jade pendant from his arms and threw it to the knight.

The knight reached out to catch the jade pendant, took off his leather gloves, and found a broken jade pendant from a brocade bag tied to the saddle. The two jade pendants were combined together in a tight thread, showing that they were originally two parts of the same jade pendant.

"We have been waiting for you for three days, Lord Serpis!" The knight threw both jade pendants to Serpis, took off his helmet, revealing a strong face full of wind and frost. "Below is the Black Rose Knights of the War Drum Fort, and Curt, the captain of the first team of the Third Squadron, please follow us!"

"How did you find us!" Shepis asked in confusion with Ma and Curt.

"The observation post on the upper wall of Arakahan Castle can see a very far place. Judging from the time and the number of people in the team, you should be the ones we are waiting for!" Curt said lightly.

"Hey, this direction...we won't we go to Arakahan Castle?"

"No, yesterday we received the letter from His Highness Brian, and asked us to leave the Arakahan Castle immediately after receiving you!" Curt shook his head, "We have opened another camp in a forest more than ten miles from Arakahan Castle. We will spend the night there tonight and set off again tomorrow!"

"Knight Curt, are you their captain?" Shepis looked at the knights who surrounded them in the center curiously.

"No, we have five teams here, one from the Black Rose of War Drum Fort, the three major Knights of Heihu and Rock. The two team leaders on your left are Kumar and Larter, and the two on the right are Rheel and Hanks." Curt introduced with a smile, "Among the five of us, I have been in the army for the longest time, so everyone will let me be the temporary representative."

"The command of the team now belongs to you, Lord Serpis! Although the selected teams are all the best knights in War Drum Fort, I personally feel that it is a bit unnecessary to select people from the three major knights at the same time!" Hanks, who looked solemn, looked outspoken.

Xuepis remained silent and quietly glanced at Xu Mo on the left, but found that the old commander K was riding on a horse yawning and drowsy, and couldn't help but feel angry.

It is understandable that Curt and others did not understand the arrangement of the third prince Brian, but Serpis had long been explained from Xu Mo's analysis.

The Northern Army system of Braeland consists of two parts. The Northern Army of Wargu Fort was established in the End War, and the Northern Army of Arakahan Castle was established at the end of the war. In the first Northern War after the End War, both troops participated and found that the army of the Dragon Crystal Mineral Vein actually belonged to Arakahan Castle.

However, the reason why the third prince Brian did not use the army of Arakahan Castle was that he traveled thousands of miles to gather people from the three major knights in War Drum Castle was naturally because he could not trust some speculators in Arakahan Castle.

The camps established by the knights in the woods were not large, but the defense facilities were very neat, and there were more than a dozen small crystal pillars erected around the camp. Curt distributed a crystal jade plaque to each of the escort team. The jade plaque and the crystal pillar were connected by arcane. If large creatures approached the camp, the jade plaque would glow, reminding everyone in the camp.

"The magic technology in this world is indeed developed!" Serna looked at the magic stone furnace using crystal stones in front of her and exclaimed.

This kind of stone stove does not need to make a fire, the temperature is enough to boil drinking water, and roast the dry food and meat carried by the knights, which is smoke-free and dust-free, avoiding the enemy from discovering the existence of the camp from a long distance. It is very practical and of course the cost is also very high. It can generally only be used for elite reconnaissance teams.

"His Excellency Serpis, His Highness Brian's messenger please come with the captains. She wants to discuss with you if she has something to do!" Susan walked from behind and reported to Serpis, with a slightly dissatisfied expression.

Xuepis was slightly stunned and turned to look at Xu Mo.

"Don't go, let her come by myself!" Xu Mo frowned slightly, changed his mind, and reminded him in the team channel, "Let those cavalry captains patroll the camp and don't get together with us."

Shepis vaguely felt something, nodded, and gave Susan a few instructions. After receiving the order, the girl turned around and walked towards the messenger without hesitation.

Susan didn't know that the messenger was Leah, the Seventh Princess. For her, Serpis was the leader of the team. Although the negotiator was appointed by His Highness Brian himself, he had to discuss what matters and naturally he had to come over himself.

"His Excellency Serpis, I heard from Susan that His Highness Felix's team will follow us, right?" Lea, the Seventh Princess, who was covered in black cloak, came to the crystal bonfire and found that several Cavalier captains were not present, and she couldn't help but feel a little stiff.

"The messenger doesn't have to worry. We are leading the itinerary. After the team gathers, our strength is no worse than that of Leo and the others. We can protect you and enter the underground world safely!" Serpis glanced at Susan indifferently, turned around and comforted Lea with a smile.

"I'm not worried about not being able to reach the dungeon, but the prince's team will sooner or later conflict with us. Why not destroy them now?" Lea said coldly, "After all, our itinerary is favorable now, and we can ambush that team. Otherwise, by the time of return, they might be ambushing us!"

"Oh? Do you have any ideas?" Xuepis looked at Xu Mo who was sleeping with his eyes closed beside him, and found that he had not spoken, so he frowned and asked.

"Just ambush Leo here in Arakahan Castle, what do you think?" Lea's eyes under the veil were as bright as stars, and she said slowly.

"Haha, it's really not easy for this woman to become one of the candidates for the successor!" Xu Mo's chuckled sounded in the team channel.

"Do you know what she intended?" Shepis asked embarrassedly with a black thread.

"It's not difficult to guess!" Xu Mo said happily, "She should know that there are some speculative generals in the Arakahan Fort, but no matter what, the Northern Army, as a whole, supports Brian."

"We ambush Leo here, and those speculative generals will never intervene. Otherwise, no matter who ascends the throne in the future, they will not be able to gain a foothold in the Northern Army. This princess hopes to shock the fenceists at the gate of Arakahan Castle. In addition, she just wanted to keep those cavalry captains present, hoping to get their support."

"Hmph, you said less. Whether we object or agree, she can leave a good impression in the hearts of those knights, and you can seize power if necessary!" Xuepis said with a somewhat ugly face.

"Hehe, you're not too stupid!" Xu Mo joked happily.

"Anyway, we have to kill Leo's team before entering the underground world. Can we follow the flow and get some benefits?" Serpis said with a chuckling, "Is the princess? It should be very rich too!"

"No, Leo's team is of great value. You can't let them disappear now!" Xu Mo was silent for a while before speaking, "Reject that woman, don't lose her big because of a small amount!"
