Chapter 89 Luke's Fortress (Sorry readers, I'm late)
Levi felt a little helpless about Harland's question. This tough guy actually mentioned this kind of thing in front of outsiders. Well, now Yaqis is indeed It's an outsider.
Li Wei is actually betting on an opportunity. If he wins the bet, then this combat function will be in his hands. If he loses the bet, he will not suffer much loss.
The excuse for moving troops at that time was to follow the order of Marquis Ashan to second some knights of the Ice Blade Knights to investigate the traces of the orcs.
If the orc detachment was not caught, then it can be said that Mr. Levi found no trace of the orcs. This incident just passed and no one else knew about it.
So it's okay to keep this kind of thing in your heart. It's not convenient for Mr. Li Wei to say it at all.
Soon several people helped Angel bury his mother. There was no time to clean up the bodies of other villagers, so they had to leave Hebend Village in a hurry.
Yaqis embarked on a journey to gather hunters alone, while Levi and the other three took ten-year-old Angel on the back of a fat purple fish and flew straight to Luke's Fortress.
Along the way, Levi looked at the little boy in front of him who was wrapped into a rice dumpling by six or seven fur coats. This one's name is Angel. The little boy is really pitiful. He has no relatives at just 10 years old. (Sorry readers, the age has been changed here. The previous 5 years old is unreasonable.)
After Levi and the others took him out of the tunnel, they couldn't ignore the little boy, otherwise it would be no different from killing him.
Originally, Angel wanted to go with Yaqis, but Yaqis was in a hurry and couldn't take him with him. In the end, Levi had no choice but to take Angor to Luke's Fortress to settle down temporarily.
At this time, Angel, who was tightly wrapped in n fur coats, sat with his back to the wind. The howling cold wind made his head buzz.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear someone calling his name.
"Little brother, your name is Angel, right?"
Angel looked up and saw Levi looking at him across the way.
"Yes, Lord Baron." Although Angel tried his best to answer, his childish voice was almost completely drowned by the strong wind.
"So Angel, what are your plans from now on?"
Levi stopped Angel and asked him. A ten-year-old boy had just lost his parents. It was a time when he had no master. What was there to do with it? What about the idea?
Levi looked at the other party and became silent for a moment, then realized what he was doing and couldn't help but cursed himself secretly.
After all, Mr. Li Wei has only traveled through time for a few months. Although he has experienced one or two cruel wars, he can't help but feel a little sympathy when facing such a poor little guy.
"Angel, you can come with me after this war is over, and I'll find you a grandpa."
"Ah?~Okay, Lord Baron."
Faced with a nobleman, Angel couldn't refute. You can only obey the other party's arrangements.
In fact, Levi was not entirely overflowing with sympathy. One of the reasons why he took Angel away was because he really felt pity for the little guy. In addition, there were two other reasons.
One is that Levi really wants to recruit the talented ranger Yaqis. At that time, Levi will not only take Angel away, but also find a way to resettle Yaqis's family in the Black Mountain Territory to deepen his bond with Yaqis.
Another reason is for the old butler Pedro. Pedro Sr. has worked diligently for the Monterey family for many years, and his loyalty is beyond words, but his biggest shortcoming is that he lost his fertility due to injury in his early years.
Old Pedro was over seventy years old and had no one to serve him. The Angel in front of him looked really cute, so he came up with the idea of adopting Angel as Pedro's grandson.
Soon, Fat Zi drove Levi and the four of them to the vicinity of Luke's Fortress. Of course, Mr. Levi will not engage in any slutty operation like riding a giant fish to the top of the city.
If he really did this, Levi would probably have been carried away by countless extraordinary giant crossbows and wizard towers before he flew two hundred meters into Luke's Fortress.
Just like that, under the vigilant eyes of the city defenders, a giant purple fish more than ten meters long landed on the open space 600 meters in front of Luke's Fortress. Levi and the others walked towards Luke's Fortress.
"Those who are under the city, please identify yourself and explain your purpose of coming!" When Li Wei and others walked about fifty meters away from the city, a young soldier who looked like an officer stopped Li Wei and others.
Although Luke's Fortress was still far away from the front line, and the people in front of him were indeed human, he still had to maintain his basic vigilance as a city gate officer.
Especially the terrifying giant fish just now can actually disappear out of thin air. This is indeed worth guarding against. Although there are many powerful people guarding the Luke Fortress, the most important thing to worry about is the military affairs.
As for the fact that Levi and the others are indeed human beings, after all, these days, it is not uncommon for people to rape animals and so on. He, a small city gate official, cannot bear this responsibility.
"My name is Levi Monterey, Baron of the Black Mountain Territory and Gray Rock Territory of Green County. I have been ordered by the Marquis of Ashan to perform a mission. The specific content cannot be disclosed!"
Levi stopped and waited for the other party to send someone to verify his identity. .
Quickly, the young officer slowly came down from the fifteen-meter-high city wall in a hanging basket.
"I'm very sorry, Baron Monterey. It's just a routine matter. I need to see your~~."
Levi looked at the other person's low posture, so he laughed, "I understand, I understand the rules, and it's not a bad thing to be cautious. ."
As he spoke, Li Wei took out the approval document given to him by Marquis Ashan and his identity certificate.
Although the young officer maintained a low profile on the surface, he still meticulously checked the approval documents and identity documents provided by Li Wei, and even checked them again and again in some areas specially designed for anti-counterfeiting.
"Lord Baron, I apologize for the offense I caused just now." As he said that, the young officer respectfully handed back the approval documents and vouchers in his hands to Li Wei.
"Verification passed, open the door and let us go!"
As he shouted, the suspension bridge of Luke's Fortress slowly lowered with a creaking sound, and at the same time, a side door also opened.
"Lord Baron, please come with me. The removal of the Knights of the Ice Blade requires the approval of Lord Viscount Hells. I will take you to Lord Viscount." "
Thank you for your hard work." Levi looked at this man. The young officer looked so respectful. It must be that Marquis Ashan's order represented too much energy and really suppressed the other party.
After the young officer arranged the matters on the city wall to his adjutant, he personally led Li Wei towards the military headquarters building in the fortress.
Luke's Fortress is not like the Snow Dragon Fortress, the core of the five counties in the North, which is a giant city with both military and civilian uses. Instead, it is a purely military fortress. Although a considerable number of troops are deployed here, the area of the fortress is not very large.
It didn't take long for Li Wei and others to arrive at the military headquarters, and under the arrangement of the young officer, they stayed in the guest room to rest.
