"Oh, that's it." Ryan nodded slowly,
Seeing Ryan's appearance, Old Bill thought he had convinced him, so he continued to add: "In fact, this matter has been known to everyone for a long time. Master Toby has long been interested in Miss Adela, and he is planning to take Wei Miss Wei An marries Young Master Vera of the Saranal family, and then she can legitimately marry Miss Adela. As for Miss Adela, there are many people pursuing her. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. , the average three or five adult men are no match for her... "
Ryan didn't pay much attention to what Old Bill kept describing about Adela. In his opinion, she was just a young lady with a slight advantage in her family background. Unfortunately, her behavior was too bad. , no matter how powerful your family is, you did not earn it yourself.
If she really compares with these potential strengths, Faras is probably one of the most powerful women behind this continent. Her teacher is the Archmage Victor, and her father is the Imperial Finance Minister Luke. But when Ryan and Faras met, , Farasi has never behaved like this,
After finally waiting for Old Bill to finish talking, Ryan urged the seated war horse to move forward. The horse recovered a lot of strength after resting for a while, and under Ryan's command, he honestly moved along the road. Walking along the road towards Iron Fist Castle,
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Ryan and Old Bill finally arrived at the outskirts of the Iron Fist Castle. Ryan raised his head and carefully looked at the castle built against the mountains. He nodded secretly in his heart. On such a large plain, it was possible to It is not easy to have a mountain with dangerous terrain, and it is also not easy for the Emilio family to choose this place to build a castle. At least as far as Ryan can see, the entire castle is built with huge stones. It's done, but it takes several days of walking to reach the Vallo Mountain area where the boulders are produced. From this, we can imagine how much effort was put into building this castle.
The entire Iron Fist Castle is completely located on a hill. Although the entire mountain is not very high, just over 100 meters, it is located on a plain and the mountain peaks are quite steep. If you stand at the foot of the mountain and look up, you will definitely see something. It’s an incomparable feeling. No wonder Vivian said that the Emilio family once defended this place with 150 people and resisted tens of thousands of troops for three months.
Although Ryan's adventure experience is only a few years, his footprints can be considered to have traveled all over the continent, including the Hengduan Mountains, Thunder God Fortress, Fernando City, Free Paradise, Sea Breeze City, and Moon Moon City... It can be said that Ryan is the most important city on the continent. I have seen them all before, but this Iron Fist Castle gave Ryan another feeling that was completely different from those previous cities.
Strictly speaking, the entire Iron Fist Castle should be a plurality of building complexes, which can be roughly divided into three floors. The bottom floor is located on the flat ground. There is no stone wall, but it is surrounded by a wooden fence as high as one person. Most of the floors are low-rise bungalows, presumably where the civilians attached to the castle live.
When there is no war, these civilians will naturally farm in the farmland near the castle. Once a war breaks out, the able-bodied men among the civilians will be added to the garrison, and below are all houses built of wood. I believe that many It can be easily ignited and becomes the first line of defense to hinder the enemy.
At the junction of the first and second floors of Iron Fist Castle, there is a river that surrounds the entire hill. The river is fully 10 meters wide. It is not known whether it is naturally formed or artificially excavated. On this kind of plain, if you want to make Tools for crossing the river are a very troublesome thing, because the materials must be transported from relatively far away places. If it is a lightly-armed raid, maybe just such a moat will defeat the enemy's intentions, but if the attacker brings enough luggage, The defenders of the castle would have plenty of time to arrange their arrangements.
Inside the moat is the second level of the Iron Fist Castle, and this part can be considered the real main body of the castle. It is built on the mountain. Except for the only road up the mountain to enter the castle, most of the other parts are vertically steep. It is difficult to climb and has become a nightmare for attackers, and this only passage is not a straight line. The designers cleverly used the terrain to make this road winding, which not only makes it more beautiful, but also greatly slows down the attackers. ,
Of course, the second level of the castle is not just such a simple layout. In fact, the entire hill from the moat at the foot of the mountain to the main body of the Iron Fist Castle on the top of the mountain can be regarded as the second level of the castle. The biggest role of their existence is to delay the attacker. Footsteps, in order to achieve this goal, the terrain of the uphill passage will be slightly flatter every few dozen meters, but in this flatter place, a solid city wall was built.
Each city wall is 5 meters high. With Ryan's eyes, he can vaguely see the small holes in the city wall. I believe they are used by archers for observation and attack. If some small trebuchets can be arranged, then With several magicians assisting in the defense, Ryan is looking forward to the expression on the attacker's face.
Thinking of this, Ryan suddenly shook his head in a self-deprecating manner. If the defender can use magicians to defend, then why can't the attackers use magicians to attack? No matter how tight the defense is, even a forbidden spell will be wiped out. How can it still be spent? Unimaginable manpower and material resources were put into this castle to add a large number of magic arrays to defend against the forbidden spell. This is simply not worth the loss.
When Ryan thought of this, he put aside this unrealistic thought. He continued to observe the entire castle and found that there would be neatly dressed soldiers patrolling every city wall from time to time. Although the number was not large, the patrols The density is not very high, but these soldiers are well-equipped. Everyone wears leather armor, and the weapons in their hands are brand-new spears. Moreover, everyone's face is full of energy, and it can be seen that their morale is good.
At the highest point of the entire mountain is the third floor of the Iron Fist Castle, which is also the main body of the real Iron Fist Castle. The entire building complex is located on the top of the forcibly flattened hill. Not to mention anything else, the huge castle The thick iron door is enough to deter people. Without hundreds of people, there is no way to open it without using a large winch. Of course, at this time, the huge iron door is open, and Ryan also happens to see Vivian and Ah. Della and Della walked in through the gate side by side.
Ryan's eyes glanced slightly, but he saw a very eye-catching building. It was a pointed circular building. It was located behind the entire castle complex. However, the whole building was quite high, so even if it was at the foot of the mountain, Ryan, you can also vaguely see the bright red color on the exterior of this circular building.
