Otherworldly Skeleton

Although he was in the noisy square, Delu heard the word "pulse eye" very clearly. He raised his head in horror and saw a red tattoo faintly showing under the thin cloth on Caton's chest. He couldn't see the lines clearly, but he knew that the stone barbarians who were qualified to have tattoos on their chests were definitely not easy.

Among the soldiers of Rebirth Fort, apart from ordinary soldiers, there are also many elites. Elites are divided into many lines according to their bloodlines. Soldiers who are classified into lines are called "pulse lines", and each lineage is unique. It is not weaker than warriors, but stronger than Maige is "Main Eye". The status of Mai Eye is equivalent to the spokesperson and the strongest of a lineage.

Maiyan has the right to lead troops alone. For ordinary civilians, Maiyan even has the right to kill. In the violent Stone Man Plateau, there are not a few villages destroyed by Maiyan.

Breaking out in a cold sweat, Delu nodded quickly: "Xo has poor eyesight, sir, you need that skeleton, feel free to pick it up."

Of course, Kaga knew that he couldn't go too far, otherwise his lies would be easily exposed. He divided the won gold coins into a dozen pieces and gave them to Drew, and hinted tepidly that he must keep the military operations secret, and then He ordered more than a dozen skeletons, including Lu Yan, and led them out of the square together.

That night, Katon rested in Qiaotou Town. Of course, he stayed in the most expensive hotel, and everything fit his status as the "eye of pulse". With more than 20 skeletons left Qiaotou Town.

"Haha, these brown Shike people are idiots!" Nine kilometers north of Qiaotou Town, Katon and Lu Yan laughed at each other in the dense forest on the side of the road. The neat clothes on Katon's body were gone, replaced by It was tattered and patched clothes, covered with greasy clothes, the tattoo on his chest had been washed off long ago, and the hat was also removed, directly revealing a big, bald head.

"Pretending to be a stone man, I didn't expect you to be quick-witted." Lu Yan looked at Caton with a smile.

Caton waved his hands again and again: "I didn't think of it, it's all about Kajia. This bastard usually goes around doing business and selling wine, so he has a good grasp of the Shike people of the brown family."

"It seems that he also won a large amount of money on me last night?"

"Who said it wasn't? I suddenly took the money to redeem you and bet it. I was so scared that I almost made a move..."

Carton and Lu Yan were in Qiaotou Town last night because they were afraid that someone would be watching them, so they never had a conversation. It turned out that just after Lu Yan was taken away, Carton rushed to the scheduled landing point. After seeing the bone carving code left by Lu Yan, they They found Lu Yan in Qiaotou Town, so they pretended to be the vein eyes among the stone barbarians to redeem Lu Yan.

After chatting for a while, Lu Yan asked, "Is Rebirth Castle not far from here?"

"Well, it's half a day's walk north to Chongqiaotou Town." Caton's expression became serious: "Now it seems that the Shike people of the brown family must be gathering troops. The reason why they have not sent troops for a long time may be to build arms."

"Create a weapon temporarily?" Lu Yan wondered.

Caton explained: "The Shike people of the brown lineage are different from the Xiaoyang people of the Lan Empire or the grasslands. They usually don't have any regular army. Only when they want to start a war, they recruit young men from all over the country to serve directly as soldiers. The source of soldiers. And they usually don’t count the population. Under this kind of sudden recruitment, it is difficult to predict how many soldiers can be called, so it is easy to have insufficient weapons.”

Lu Yan looked to the north: "Are they allowing skeletons to enter Rebirth Castle just to make weapons?"

"Yes." Caton nodded: "The brown-type Shike people were originally slaves of the green-type Shike people, and they were locked in the room all year round to forge iron, so they used a natural rejection of the low-level iron smelting work. Especially in the process of casting weapons, such as air supply and feeding, are considered to be the work of low-level people. Soldiers in Rebirth Fort will never build weapons by hand. These tasks have to be done by captured civilians. to finish, or else..."

"Or it will be done by skeletons captured from the Skull Continent."

"Yes"

Lu Yan said: "Skeletons are afraid of high temperatures. In the cities of Skull Continent, humans act as blacksmiths, and they catch skeletons as blacksmiths. What good weapons can they make?"

Caton was deeply convinced: "Yes, so the weapons of the Shike people of the brown family are very rough. They are neither hard nor tough, and the blades are not sharp enough. They only know how to charge blindly with brute force."

Lu Yan smiled slightly, and stopped discussing whether the stone barbarians were strong or weak. Instead, he asked, "Have you memorized the map of the secret underground passages by heart? Can't you walk the road?"

Carton patted his chest: "Don't worry, the secret passage is at the bottom of the castle, and you won't miss the passage."

Lu Yan nodded: "Okay, let's go, let's enter the castle."

Carton "leaded" Lu Yan back to the team again, and drove the group of twenty-odd skeletons to the north. People came and went on the road, and cattle, sheep, rice, ore and other materials were constantly being transported to the north. Seeing these soldiers gathered in Rebirth Fort, Lu Yan believed that many skeleton spies would be satisfied if they could detect this situation, but he did not stop there. Every bit of information obtained has the potential to save Gaoling City, save himself and those who need to be protected in the city.

Getting involved in danger now is in exchange for a better survival!

About two xo hours later, Lu Yan saw the outline of a fist-big xo looming in the sky, and when Caton told him that there was another xo to go, he knew that the one that now only looked like a fist-big xo How big is Fort Rebirth actually supposed to be.

After walking for more than half an hour, the Fort of Rebirth with a big fist xo has become like a high mountain in the north, a blue round mountain standing on the ground like a clock.

The surrounding terrain began to become flat, and the broad-leaved forest that had been stretching for a long time had disappeared. Many groups of soldiers riding bantam bulls galloped back and forth in the open space, checking incoming and outgoing merchants, or changing shifts to patrol and guard. Lu Yan knew that this was beginning to approach the sphere of influence of Rebirth Castle.

Suddenly, Lu Yan heard a noise coming from a distance, he couldn't help but raised his head and looked towards the northwest.

Lando stood by the well, surrounded by more than 20 bantam bulls charging back and forth frantically, and the red dust raised made this XO village closest to Rebirth Castle permeate a dangerous atmosphere.

It has been more than 60 days since he returned to Baoqian Village. Although Lando already knew that Rebirth Castle was recruiting soldiers throughout the Stone Man Plateau, he never thought that the recruiting team would really look at this Baoqian Village, because there are only six households in Baoqian Village. People, there are thirteen stone barbarians, and they are still thirteen old stone barbarians.

Baoqian Village is a village for the elderly. There are no young people or children. In a few years, it will disappear from the Stone Man Plateau. Lando only stays here because of his father, who he hates again. The man he loved had just passed away. According to the custom of the stone barbarians, he had to live in front of the old man's grave for 63 days.

Lando is not as strong as ordinary stone barbarians, but he has a delicate and gentle heart. After seeing the new grave where his parents were buried together, he finally completely forgave his father's mistakes 30 years ago, and lived in Baoqian Village sadly. Who knew that when he finished his filial piety and was about to leave to do what he should do, Baoqian Village was suddenly surrounded by soldiers from Rebirth Fort.

"Come out! Come out!" Soldiers riding on the backs of the bulls waved the big hammers cast in their hands and shouted arrogantly. Their rough voices spread on the flat ground, and the passing businessmen looked at it in surprise. come over.

Lando suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and stood by the well. Beside him were thirteen old men who were about the same age as his father. Most of these old men were his distant relatives, but Lando didn't have much affection for them. .

"Hey, this is the village of King Li?" A soldier jumped off the back of the bull and inspected the dilapidated stone houses while laughing. A look of shame appeared, but the hostility on Lando's face gradually increased.

A soldier jumped down and walked up to these stone barbarians with a sledgehammer to inspect them one by one. Although these stone barbarians are all over 60 years old, they are still in good health, strong and full of breath. It is not the wrinkles on their faces that make them look old, but the loose brown hair on their heads. Especially for the stone barbarians who attach great importance to their hair, their image in the eyes of the soldiers is even more decayed.

The soldier finally walked up to Lando: "Where did you come from... Wait!"

The soldier's face suddenly changed, and he waved to his companion: "Hey, take a look, who is this skinny monkey?"

Lando's body is definitely not thin among ordinary people, but among the stone barbarians whose daughters are as long as square lumps, he is definitely an outlier.

The soldiers gathered around, and after making fun of Lando's figure, someone suddenly came to his senses: "This can't be that alien species of King Li!"

"Ah, yes, he really looks a bit like the portrait of King Li!" Immediately, an older soldier shouted in amazement.

Lando's face didn't change at all, but the anger in his heart became more and more abundant, and restless elements entwined around his fingertips, only one step away from the magic effect.At this moment, Lando suddenly felt a gaze shot from a distance, he looked back, and just in time saw a human-shaped skeleton tied with a rope looking at him.

Human skeleton!

Lando suddenly remembered his mission. Isn't it related to human-shaped skeletons? He suddenly remembered the rumors he heard recently, saying that a large number of skeletons were imprisoned in Rebirth Castle, and most of them were human-shaped skeletons. Thinking of this, he His anger suddenly dissipated, and his long-term meditation brought him strong concentration. Even if his father's name was tainted, he could not care about it at all.

"It's alright, alright, stop laughing, take them all back to the castle!" With a wave of his hands, a captain-like figure drove Lando and the thirteen old men into the Fort of Rebirth.

Lu Yan watched the relatively thin stone man turn around, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. The unhealthy white color does not belong to the stone man, but seems to belong to the magician, but it is not said that the stone man is born without magic Affinity guy, how could there be a magician?

With this question in mind, Lu Yan followed the flow of people towards Rebirth Castle step by step.

Thirty kilometers away, Rick was galloping towards the Fort of Rebirth on a bantam bull, supported by a group of stone barbarians.
