After encountering the border defense line of the Rhineland, the group walked forward for several days.
On this day, a mountainous area with strange terrain appeared in front of everyone.
"This is the Andros Mountains, which stretches for tens of thousands of miles from south to north, and this mountain range has a very peculiar feature, you see."
Sasol, who came from the Rhine Empire, pointed to the huge towering mountains in front of him and gave everyone free thoughts.
Hearing this, everyone looked around one after another, but the scene in front of them made everyone scream in surprise.
"This mountain range..."
Han Ming was very surprised. In terms of the span and height of this mountain range, it can be considered medium in this other world. This is not what made everyone pay special attention. What shocked everyone was that the direction of this mountain range facing everyone turned out to be
It was a mountain wall that went straight up and down, completely unlike the steep slopes of ordinary mountains. It looked as if someone had cut the mountain range in half.
Sasol smiled and explained: "The Anros Mountains have a strange topography. I think everyone has seen it. The side facing us is a ninety-degree right angle section. According to legend, it was hundreds of thousands of years ago.
The Andros Mountain Range was cut in two by a powerful person with a knife, leaving only half of the mountain range. Look again, see if the side of the mountain range facing us is very rare and spreads in a straight line into the distance."
After everyone heard this, they all looked again, and sure enough they saw that the mountain range extended in a straight line to the ends of the sky at both ends.
"It is precisely because of this weird terrain that it forms a natural line of defense for our Rhine Empire. When an enemy attacks, it is difficult to cross the Anlos Mountains, and the only way to cross is a canyon in the middle. Only this
One place can lead directly to the Rhine Empire. If there is an invasion from outside, we only need to guard the canyon in the middle called Guihun and everything will be fine."
While talking, the group of people walked towards the Anros Mountains.
After more than half a day, everyone finally arrived at the foot of the Anlos Mountains. Sure enough, they saw a narrow canyon with a width of only a few dozen meters directly in front of them. From a distance, it would be impossible to find such a narrow place.
There are nearly a thousand border guards stationed outside this canyon.
After explaining their intention to the border guards, everyone entered this narrow canyon.
Han Ming walked in the canyon and looked around. The space here was very small and could only accommodate less than a hundred people passing by each other at a time. Compared with the Anlos Mountains, which was highly penetrated into the clouds, this canyon was undoubtedly an excellent place.
Defensive fortress.
There were also thousands of border guards stationed in the middle and rear of the canyon. Seeing Han Ming and his party coming, these border guards looked at the group curiously.
Han Ming and others greeted the border guards with friendly smiles.
After crossing the canyon, the group moved forward again for about three days, when a shadow that looked like a group of low black buildings vaguely appeared on the horizon in front of them.
"Ahead is the border city of the Rhine Empire."
Sasol pointed to the large low black shadow in front of him and explained.
"What is that place?"
Han Ming discovered that there was a large gray area in the distance to their right. Some dilapidated buildings could be vaguely seen. They seemed to be the ruins of some city. From the general outline, one could see its dilapidation and age.
.
Sasol smiled and said: "There is a relatively famous area in the Rhine Empire, called Ghost City. Haha, there are many low-level small monsters and some low-level undead creatures in it. Our Rhine Empire is different from your Monte
The empire has the advantage of being close to the wild forest for natural exploration and treasure hunting. Compared with the wild forest, this ghost town is child's play. Generally speaking, experts from the three countries in the Northern Alliance mainland who want to go to Monterey for treasure hunting and adventure.
Empire, and then entered the wild forest, or the Warcraft Forest that also stood between the Monte Empire and the Kabu Empire. But not everyone has the ability and courage to enter those dangerous places, so this ghost town became ours.
The Rhine Empire is relatively famous, and it is a paradise for people with low-level strength."
Sasol paused and then said: "It is generally difficult to produce Warcraft cores in this ghost town. If I remember correctly, generally speaking, producing a three-stage Warcraft core within a hundred years is already very impressive. Come to think of it,
You don’t have much interest in such a small place, so we don’t need to spend more time exploring it.”
Everyone had heard that this place was called a ghost town before. At first glance, it sounded similar to the name of the ghost land in the wild forest. Some people who had never heard of this place were a little eager to try it. Now that they know this place, there is nothing good about it.
I gave up the idea of finding things. Some people who knew this place originally had no intention of staying at all, and now they have already surpassed everyone and headed towards the border city.
After another day, the group finally arrived at Bianhuang City.
There is already an airship docking station here.
People parted ways here. People from the Kabu Empire boarded the airships flying to the Kabu Empire, while local experts from the Rhine Empire boarded the local airships and flew to their hometowns.
The remaining masters of the Monte Empire also expressed their desire to hang out here, and most of them left.
Shang Que informed Han Ming that Phil's uncle's home was in the Rhine Empire. This time they could not stay in Border City with Han Ming and wanted to visit Phil's uncle.
When Han Ming heard this, he smiled and nodded. He knew that after the fall of the Monte Empire, all the major forces in the Monte Empire had flocked to the Rhine Empire, and Phil's own family would definitely go to her so-called uncle's house. And Shang Que
The two of them with Phil should be going to meet the parents of both parties.
An ugly son-in-law always has to meet his parents-in-law, and besides, he is not ugly either.
"Han Ming, how about... you also go to my uncle's place to stay for a while. You might as well rest for a while, after all, your injury has not fully recovered."
Phil first gave Shang Que a pleading wink, and after seeing Shang Que nod his head in agreement, he happily extended an invitation to Han Ming.
They were going to meet their parents, and Han Ming would certainly not be stupid enough to join in the fun. What's more, Kuro's whereabouts are unknown now. With her strength, she shouldn't encounter any difficulties. If she escapes from the Monte Empire, she will most likely be the first.
The station will lead you to the deserted city here. Han Ming also wants to meet Ku Luo here.
At that moment, he smiled and shook his head, rejecting Phil's kind invitation.
Phil also knew Han Ming's difficulties. The two of them had caused some misunderstandings before. When he saw Han Ming's refusal, he knew that he couldn't force it. He could only leave with Shang Que with regret.
In the blink of an eye, Han Ming was the only one left here.
Han Ming was concerned about the demon army in the Monte Empire and had no intention of wandering around in the deserted city. He just found a small inn and stayed there.
After having a casual dinner in the evening, Han Ming stood up on the roof of the inn and quietly looked at the crescent moon in the sky.
The demon army gathered together with nearly a million troops and captured the city of Fila in one day, but they would never be able to completely capture the entire Monte Empire so easily. Capturing the city of di du Fila was their first step.
, the next step should be to disperse the troops and sweep across the cities of the entire Monte Empire.
Although the demon army is an elite division, nearly a million troops are not enough to wipe out nearly a thousand cities in the entire Monte Empire in a short time. At this time, the same thing as in Fila City must be happening everywhere in the Monte Empire.
situation.
The wind-type old man in the Ghost Domain previously said that if the demon army gathered more than one million troops, it would be able to sweep across the entire Northern Alliance continent, but Han Ming now has a different view. This demon army is definitely not just for annihilation.
The Northern Alliance Continent is so simple. They should want to completely occupy the three major empires of the Northern Alliance Continent. This will serve as a springboard for them to launch a massive attack on humanity around the world.
From this point of view, if they really wipe out the Monte Empire in the future, they will definitely leave a large number of troops to garrison the Monte Empire, and they will need more support when they attack the other two countries. In other words, the Northern Alliance mainland's
Humanity still has some time now.
For at least one year, and at most two or three years, the Rhine Empire and the Kabu Empire will be considered safe.
After thinking through this link, Han Ming felt a little calmer. As long as there is still time, humans will still have a chance to counterattack.
It was late at night, but Han Ming still didn't feel sleepy at all. He sat cross-legged on the roof and began to slowly circulate the magic energy in his body. His magic strength was not far away from breaking through the sixth level. He could feel this now.
, and at this time, his small magic crystals are basically exhausted. Taking advantage of the two months of free time now, he plans to exchange for some magic crystals tomorrow, and use these two months to hit the sixth level of the second section.
level.
At this time, Han Ming had an urgent desire to improve his magic rank. Especially when he could only use large magic crystals to summon the Hydra Emperor instead of using his own power, he felt a deep feeling.
The feeling of powerlessness. And this urgent desire to improve the rank has also reached an unprecedented height.
The use of martial arts and magic can improve a person's strength, but it cannot improve the quantity or quality of a person's magic.
Han Ming sat with his eyes closed, carefully feeling the whirlpool of magic energy flowing slowly in his body. The core of his own tree seemed to be brighter than before, while the core of the Hydra Emperor next to him stayed motionless.
, only occasionally extracting a small amount of magical energy from the core of Han Ming's body to maintain life.
The night was getting thick, a cool breeze was blowing, and there was a faint cry from downstairs.
Han Ming was attracted by the crying sound and slowly opened his eyes.
He walked lightly to the edge of the roof and looked down. In a small corridor outside the inn, he saw a boy who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old sitting in the corner holding his legs and crying.
The little boy's clothes were in tatters. At first, Han Ming thought he was a beggar, but upon closer inspection, he found that this was not the case. The clothes the little boy was wearing were obviously not something ordinary people could afford.
It's just that the clothes, which usually seemed luxurious, were now full of holes, revealing the dirty skin of the little boy underneath.
His short blond hair was dirty and messy, his small hands were covered with dirt, and there were many subtle scars on his body, and some dried blood could still be seen.
"Could it be that he is a wealthy kid from the Monte Empire who has been exiled here?"
Han Ming felt very sorry for the little boy and jumped down from the roof gently, fearing to scare the little boy.
"Are you homeless?"
Han Ming walked slowly to the little boy and squatted down slightly.
The little boy was sobbing lightly. When he saw someone talking, he quickly raised his mud-stained face and looked at Han Ming with a pair of big watery eyes, but said nothing.
Han Ming looked at the little boy carefully and saw that he was extremely handsome. He had a very handsome face since he was a child. He would definitely be a very handsome guy when he grows up. His temperament was also different from ordinary people, and there was a hint of
Nobility and pride.
"May I have your name?"
Han Ming asked softly.
The little boy looked at Han Ming blankly, still refusing to speak.
Han Ming had no choice but to put his hand into the storage bag and fumble for a while, and took out two shining gold coins.
"Here, find an inn to stay in, and buy a change of clothes. If you live frugally, these two gold coins should be enough for you to live for more than half a year."
When the little boy saw the gold coins, his eyes suddenly lit up. He snatched the gold coins from Han Ming's hand and looked at the two gold coins in his hand greedily.
Han Ming frowned slightly when he saw this, thinking that this little boy didn't look like a child from a poor family, so why was he so obsessed with gold coins? Could it be that he needed money for something urgent?
Even after the little boy got the gold coins, he still refused to speak.
Han Ming smiled slightly and went to stroke the little boy's hair, but the little boy suddenly moved his head away and avoided Han Ming's hand.
"Haha, stay at the inn where I am tonight. It's very cheap. It only costs ten copper coins. It's a bit run down, but it can be used as a shelter." Han Ming smiled and walked back to the inn.
When I looked back at the door of the inn, I saw the little boy still squatting in the corner and looking at me blankly.
Han Ming smiled and didn't say anything. He jumped up and jumped onto the roof of the inn.
When the little boy saw Han Ming's skills, his eyes lit up unconsciously, and his eyes revealed an extremely longing look.dd
