The bay where Jingtao Fort is located is more dangerous than Qingtian Fort. Once upon a time, before this fortress was built, it was a paradise for sea gods and evildoers.
When Jingtao Castle discovered a Clave Gate not far from the coast, the pioneers sacrificed countless lives in order to build a fortress here.
Like other fortresses, the foundations of Stormwind Castle were built with countless bones.
After Jingtao Fort was built, people still had to fight against the evil spirits in the sea. It took decades of hard work before the people of Jingtao Fort successfully drove out the evil spirits and were able to live and work in peace in this fortress.
Due to the lack of resources in the early days, the outer buildings of Jingtao Castle are basically towering stone buildings with spires, and only the top floors of the stone buildings are habitable. The front floors are all empty passages reserved to prevent the monsters in the sea from climbing up.
Moreover, these towers are densely packed together, close together, with almost no gaps. When Jingtao Castle had not yet built a high alloy armored wall, they were the walls! They were the first line of defense against the evil spirits!
At that time, the people living in the tower had to be on high alert every day, trying to prevent the evil spirits from climbing up the hollow passages in the tower. At this time, they would promptly activate the mechanism in the building to separate the evil spirits and then destroy them.
Now, the mechanisms of these towers have basically been abolished, and many of them have been occupied by weeds or become temporary homes for homeless people. However, Jingtao Castle did not demolish these buildings, but preserved them as a memorial.
Anyone who comes to Jingtao Castle for the first time can learn about the castle's past through the circle of tower buildings built around the bay, through these ups and downs of stone buildings, where every brick and stone is stained with blood.
Since Jingtao Fort was built under such harsh conditions, the residents in the fort have maintained a barbaric and martial spirit over the past hundreds of years. From high-ranking officers to lower-level civilians, almost all of them are brave and fierce.
This trend has decreased somewhat now, but it is still ingrained in the residents' bones.
Therefore, when Su Lie walked on the street wearing a cloak and carrying the Juque, although he attracted a lot of attention, it was not out of place overall. Because there were many people here dressed similarly to him, and some were even wilder and more exaggerated than him.
Su Lie had arrived at Jingtao Fort for several days. He had been secretly searching for Yuan Shu, but to no avail. Moreover, in Jingtao Fort, a place with so many people, his tracking skills were no longer effective.
After all, he was not very good at this technique. He just stayed in the "grave" for a long time and honed some methods that he summed up. In the wilderness, in places with few people, it can still work.
But when he arrived at a place with a lot of people, Su Lie could only stare blankly.
He had no choice but to take the most stupid approach, searching one area every day, but after several days, he still found nothing.
Su Lie was thirsty and looked around. He saw a "Black Dragon Bar" not far away and walked over. Unexpectedly, two burly men stood at the door with ill intentions and blocked the door.
Wearing a hood, Su Lie, who had forgotten how many days he hadn't combed his hair and beard, raised his head and smiled at the two big men with his weathered face: "I want to go in and have a drink."
"Get lost." The one on the left said without hesitation.
On the other side, he glanced at the 'Juque' behind Su Lie, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Let's drink somewhere else. We have reserved the whole bar now."
"Oh, but I don't want to run anymore." Su Lie said and took a step forward.
"court death!"
The two big men had a disagreement and immediately drew out daggers from their waists, but before they could pull them out completely, Su Lie reached out and pushed them back.
"Don't show your knife to me, I'll 'misunderstand' it."
Su Lie showed a charming smile, pulled and swung his hands, and two tall men weighing two hundred pounds flew out immediately, knocked over the trash can, and were unable to get up for a while.
Su Lie didn't even look at it, but reached out and pushed open the heavy door of the bar. Immediately, the sound of a woman crying and begging for mercy was heard from inside the bar.
Su Lie's face immediately fell.
He closed the door quietly, then looked deeper into the bar, where he saw that all the tables and chairs had been cleared away and figures were forming several circles.
Looking through the gaps between the figures, I saw a large round table with daggers stuck on it, the tips of the daggers pointing upwards, many of the snow-white tips stained with scarlet.
On the table, a mature, plump woman with tears on her face was dancing, but if she was not careful, she would step on the daggers. Her naked white feet were already covered with blood and were cut by the daggers with deep and shallow wounds.
She cried, but had to continue dancing as seven or eight rifles were pointed at her.
The crowd laughed and threw money on the table. Some people even took the opportunity to touch her legs as she passed by, or poured icy beer and ice cubes on her, making her scream, or slip and step on the tip of a nearby knife, thus turning into a scream.
"Jump! Jump for me!"
A young man with a shaved head and a spider tattooed on his head shouted, "The Black Dragon is dead now. Who will protect you, a bitch?"
"Jump, jump until you die, haha."
Su Lie walked to the bar, poured himself a glass of wine and started drinking. From the intermittent conversations of those people, he roughly understood what was going on.
It turned out that the woman at the table was a waitress in the bar. Usually women who did this kind of work in the bar would be involved in some prostitution business.
But because this woman had the permission of the bar owner 'Black Dragon', she did not have to do this kind of business, nor did she allow customers to force her in the bar.
But recently, 'Black Dragon' died, so the man called 'Spider' brought his men to the bar, and today he wanted to fulfill his long-cherished wish.
Drinking and looking at the woman dancing and crying at the table, Su Lie felt dazed as if he saw his wife.
Has she ever encountered such a thing
When Spider was screaming, a cup suddenly hit him on the head, and the broken pieces and blood splattered everywhere. Spider was stunned, and then he heard a vicissitudes of life voice: "Get out of here, or I will kill someone."
Dozens of eyes turned to the bar and saw a man jump off a high chair, take off his hood, revealing a mature and weathered face.
"You bastard, you dared to hit me, kill him!"
'Spider' gave an order and suddenly, gunshots were heard in the bar.
Outside the bar, the two big men finally got up and heard the gunshots from inside, so they wanted to help. But they saw the door of the bar suddenly opened and someone inside ran out in panic.
Something horrible seemed to have happened in the bar. Those who escaped all had terrified expressions and were shouting.
Two big men
After looking at each other, they bravely pushed the door open. As soon as the heavy door was opened, a strong smell of blood came out. They looked around and saw corpses lying all over the bar.
Their boss, the 'Spider', had his head cut off and his mouth open, stuck on a wine bottle.
The two big men naturally looked at the people who were still alive in the bar, and saw Su Lie walk to the round table, stretch out his hand and slap it, and all the upside-down daggers on the table fell to the ground.
The woman dancing on the round table was finally able to sit down and no longer had to continue dancing on the edge of a knife.
Su Lie didn't even look at her and turned away.
The woman cried, "Thank you."
"No need, I just drank your glass of wine, so you've already thanked me." Su Lie walked straight towards the two big men and glanced at them lightly.
The two big men were so scared that their legs went limp. Even without Su Lie's threat, they didn't dare to intercept or retaliate against the woman.
After walking out of the Black Dragon Bar, Su Lie put on his hood again and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
When he walked into the main street from an alley, there was a sudden surge of people on the street, as if they were being driven out. Then, one after another, chariots of Jingtao Castle drove in from both sides of the street and quickly gathered towards this side.
Su Lie frowned and wanted to turn around and walk back. At this time, a faint, barely fierce aura appeared in the sky.
Soon, an invisible pressure descended from the sky. The civilians nearby could not withstand it. Once touched, they fell to their knees, their faces pale and their expressions painful.
The corner of Su Lie's mouth twitched slightly.
It is true that the person who can release such pressure is definitely not an ordinary strong man, but it is not known whether this person is unable to control his aura freely, or wants to show off deliberately, which causes such a big impact.
Soon, a figure whizzed down from mid-air and landed in front of Su Lie.
He smashed down like a small meteorite, causing the ground to shake and the people who were originally kneeling on the ground to fall down again. Only Su Lie remained standing steadily.
Su Lie looked and saw the man slowly standing up. He was wearing a neat military uniform with a general star on his shoulder. A blue cape was lifted up behind him with a whoosh, looking very majestic.
His eyes fell on the general star on the shoulder, and Su Lie felt amused. He wondered how such an idiot became the general of Jingtao Castle.
He turned to leave, but the general shouted, "How dare you! You didn't even kneel before me, but you actually wanted to run away!"
"You killed so many people in the bar, do you think you can get away?"
Su Lie was stunned for a moment. He had indeed killed many people in the "Black Dragon Bar" just now, but there was no need to alarm a general, right
Moreover, so little time has passed since the incident at the Black Dragon Bar, and Jingtao Castle's reaction was too quick.
"Are you the fortress general?" Su Lie looked him up and down.
"That's right, I'm Lu Jian. Since you know I'm the general of the fortress, why don't you surrender!"
General Lu took a step forward, holding the hilt of his sword, looking very imposing.
Su Lie frowned and asked, "Is Lin Yuanwu still the lord of Jingtao Fort?"
"Nonsense, the city lord is still safe and sound, and no one can take over the throne for the time being."
Su Lie hissed and then shook his head: "It seems that Lin Yuanwu is old and confused, otherwise, how could he let a superficial person like you become a general."
The bustling city suddenly became quiet.
