The Dark King

"The bacon and dry food were prepared a few days ago, and I have packed five servings. If you save some food, it will be enough for half a month." Nicotine replied respectfully.

Du Dean glanced at him. From a steward's point of view, nicotine is still very qualified. Basically, he doesn't need to worry about it. He said: "Go wake them up and come to meet me in five minutes."

"Yes." Nicotine promised and went upstairs.

Du Di'an came to the lobby to check whether the cannon parts in the suitcase were missing.

After only three minutes or so, Black Scar, Lao Jin, Cage and Genis flew downstairs one after another. Although Du Di'an usually seldom sternly treated them, his attitude has always been relatively dull, even mild, but a few people know The young man said that his character is not too far away.

Du Dean looked at the four of them, and they all put on the mid-level hunter suit they bought from the Elemental Temple the other day.This hunting suit is the exclusive magical product of the Elemental Temple, and one of the few products sold by the temple to foreign gold coins. Other consortia prohibit the production and sale, and only occasionally can be bought on the underground black market.

"The two of you went outside the wall for the first time. If you don't understand anything, ask Black Scar and Catch and don't leave the team." Du Dean told Genius and Lao Jin.

Genice nodded slightly.

Lao Jin's expression was a little nervous and faintly excited. Although he was a light knight before, he had never been out of the wall, but when chatting with Black Scar in prison, he knew more about things outside the wall, both fear and yearning.

"Eat breakfast and prepare to go." Du Dean ordered.

Nicotine immediately asked the maid to serve breakfast, and everyone quickly finished eating, carrying the trunk with the cannon and the barrel wrapped in linen to the outside car. Du Dean sat in the car and guarded the old car. Three Scarred horses lead the way.

"If anyone finds me, I will decline." Du Dean warned Nicotine before leaving: "Don't reveal my whereabouts."

Nicotine respects the promise.

Watching several people leave the castle, the smile on Nicotine's face slowly closed, and a sneer was raised in the corner of his mouth.

...

...

When the carriage moved to a remote path, Du Di'an saw no one around, and asked Lao Jin to pull the Ryan family's flag on the carriage and turn around another road to continue.Two or three hours later, the people gradually left the living area and came to the wilderness near the frontier. While driving, Du Dean suddenly smelled a few smells and gathered close to them.

"Other consortiums?" Du Di'an wondered.

Soon, the smell appeared in his sight. It was actually a group of soldiers in military uniforms who ran on their horses and quickly caught up with them, but the latter did not seem to be coming towards them. The speed did not decrease, and he passed the carriage straight and drove towards the fortress ahead.

Du Dean slowly lowered the car curtain, his eyes flashing, and it seemed that the battle at the border fortress was even more tense than what the newspaper said.

After a while, the crowd came to the fortress.

Du Di'an clearly saw that the number of soldiers in this fortress was several times greater than in the past. In the barracks behind the fortress, the soldiers patrolling were extremely dense, and the soldiers were training in the open space. Some of these soldiers are similar in age to Du Dean. A fifteen or sixteen year old.Du Dean glanced from afar, and he saw that the young soldiers in training were unkind and his limbs were weak. Obviously, they lacked exercise, unlike the regular young soldiers trained from the barracks.

Thinking of the forced conscription he had heard before, Du Dean frowned slightly and withdrew his gaze.

"Stop!" The black scar, Cage, and Genis who led the way were stopped by the soldiers and shouted, "This is the border fortress, and the idlers retreat!"

Du Dian pushed the car door, jumped off the carriage, and pulled out his own hunter medal. He said: "We are the hunters of the New Era Consortium, and we hunted outside the wall."

The soldier took two glances at his medal, and turned his attention to Cach and others, saying, "How about you?"

Catch snorted and found his hunter medal from the inner armor and threw it to the soldiers: "Look carefully." His original hunting medal was confiscated long ago. Du Di'an asked Folin to replace it. Yes, any consortium can apply to the Temple to make the Hunter Medal.

The soldier glanced twice to confirm that he was correct. He looked at the black scars and others again, withdrawn his gaze, and walked to the carriage where Du Dean was riding, saying, "Is there anyone in the car?"

Du Di An said: "No one, just some hunting tools."

"Let me see." The soldier said indifferently.

Du Dean shrugged and expressed his freedom.

The soldier turned over the back of the car and saw a few suitcases and barrels wrapped in cloth. After opening and checking again, he saw no suspicious objects before turning back and saying to Du Dean: "Do you use these things to hunt?"

Du Dian smiled faintly, said: "How to hunt, do you need to report to you?"

The soldier's face changed slightly, and with a sneer, he turned and returned to the line, signaling the companion to open the gate.

Du Dean returned to the car, passed the passage of the fortress, and soon came to the outside of this towering fortress.According to the direction instructed by Du Dean, the Black Scar three continued to lead the way.

A few miles after leaving the fortress, Du Dean lifted the curtain and saw some rough rivet hammers and war knives scattered on the ground. On the sparse plain of grass, some footprints and dry blood stains left on the ground were faintly visible.

"It seems that there was a war here not long ago." Cage, who was driving in front, looked around and said calmly.

Black Scar and Guinness also noticed this, and there was some doubt in their eyes.

Du Di An suddenly saw something, said: "Parking."

Lao Jin quickly strangled the horse rope and looked back.

Du Dian pushed the door of the car and jumped down, ignoring the enquiring glances cast by Cach and others, went straight to the grass a dozen meters away, and picked up a short knife, which was bright in color, stained with blood, and was at the handle Carved with weird inscriptions.

He looked carefully, frowning slowly, closing his eyes and remembering for a moment, he went in and out of the fortress several times. Although the soldiers stationed at the fortress were equipped with weapons, although they had short knives, the size seemed to be slightly longer, and the handle had the same as this. Different.He flicked the blade gently with his fingers, making a buzzing sound, his brow furrowed more, and he pondered silently.

"Why?" Cach said, riding on horseback.

Du Dean recovered and shook his head slightly. "It's nothing." Putting up his short knife, he returned to the carriage and said, "Go ahead."

...

...

After more than two hours.

Everyone finally saw the giant wall, towering like a mountain, covering the sky.After the carriage approached, Du Dean jumped off the carriage and saw the bright knight in front of the channel at once. After showing his hunter's medal, he opened the channel and let Cage and Guinness carry the fort into the channel.

Seeing these things, the two light knights were indifferent, and did not step forward to check. They were only responsible for inspecting the ones brought back from the wall. As for the ones brought out, they were too lazy to ignore them.

After unloading things, Du Dean handed over the horses and carriages to the two bright knights, and led Cachi and others through the long passage.

Cage came to the halfway of the passageway, paused, and looked at Du Dean who was moving on, stupefied: "Don't you pray?"

Du Dean glanced back at him as he walked and said, "I said, we don't believe in God."

Caki froze for a moment, and looked up at the goddess of hunting carved on the rock wall. The enchanting body and beautiful face were moving like a witch in the shadow of the light. He bowed down, silently bowed his head and silently closed his eyes. After a moment of prayer, the salute was brought up and caught up with Du Dean.

Pushing the heavy iron door open, Du Dean glanced around. He didn't see any monsters before turning over, looking over the gunpowder box next to the giant wall, covered with oil cloth, and should not be wet by rain.

"Hoo!" Lao Jin stepped out of the passage, looking at the world in front of him, and his face was amazed. This is the scenery outside the wall?

Guinness glanced around as well, looking at the grass and trees outside the wall.

Du Dian put all the suitcases together and opened them, and took out the parts inside to assemble them. They were clever in hands and feet, and they were spliced ​​together in just a few minutes. Under the base of the cannon was a two-wheel rolling turret. The barrel diameter in front was 20 cm. One hundred and sixty centimeters long, it belongs to a small original fort.

Seeing this weird weapon spliced ​​by Du Dean, Cage, Genius, and others were surprised and curious.

"Isn't this a catapult?" Cage observed for a moment, wondering: "But he didn't see the bungee cord, strange."

Du Di'an didn't answer his question, and told several people: "Bring everything here and follow me."

Cage and others have long noticed the gunpowder boxes piled up next to them. Cage, who is more curious, even buckled in from the edge of the box when Dudean was not paying attention, and took out the explosive powder inside. When he saw the smelly powder At that time, the doubts in his heart were even stronger.

"What is this, poison?" Cage asked curiously, holding the six explosive boxes easily.

Du Di'an is undecided, "If you eat it."
