king of the castle

Chapter 128 Mandos City

Of course, this little thing can't trouble Roger. In fact, there is a dead body in the warehouse of the castle. 【】This corpse is the Lingxu who was killed when he tried to snatch Roger's castle but failed.At that time, because Roger was worried that the corpse would cause trouble for him, he casually stuffed the corpse into the warehouse. After a long time, he forgot about it, and now it happened to be the food of the little corpse eater.

Speaking of it, Lingxu was also a cultivator, but his soul was absorbed by the castle hub, and his corpse became food for corpse-eating insects.It's all because he is too greedy, coveting Roger's "magic weapon" will end up like this.

The encounter with Marcus can only be regarded as an episode on the way to the capital.Although Roger lost a lot of soldiers because of this, he also got a magic crystal and corpse-eating insect pet, and absorbed a lot of soul power, which can be regarded as a small gain.

The discovery of a conspiracy of undead creatures disguised as humans to sneak into the hinterland of the kingdom also made Roger feel a sense of urgency again.In order to make this news known to the public as soon as possible, he also accelerated his pace and arrived at Mandos City, the capital of the Thorne Kingdom, before dark that day.

The human empire established by Lawrence the Lionheart 300 years ago fell apart. After hundreds of years of wars, the human world gradually formed more than a dozen countries, large and small.The Kingdom of Thorne is one of its largest countries, and its capital, Mandos City, is also one of the largest cities in the human world.

Even in the deep twilight, the city of Mendos is a majestic city.The tall city wall is more than half higher than that of Linton Pass, and it is all made of granite transported from the Rocky Mountains three hundred miles away in the north.In the twilight, the city wall showed a deep gray-black color, extending to both sides, almost without end.

Two giant catapults can be driven side by side on the city wall, and there are countless shooting holes and holes for pouring hot oil.What people talk about the most is that it is said that there is a magic circle engraved on the city wall every fixed distance. The enemy dealt a fatal blow.

Of course, as the most mysterious part of the kingdom's defense system, this magic circle would never be used lightly.People only know about the existence of this magic circle in rumors, but they have never actually seen it being used.

What people usually see are the Kingdom Guards guarding the city of Mandos.This legion is the most elite army in the kingdom, with a total of 5 people.In addition to well-trained and well-equipped infantry and crossbowmen, there is also a cavalry force of more than 4000 people and a large number of heavy weapons such as catapults and giant crossbows.

If these are nothing, the guards even have a group of magicians with nearly a hundred people!In the battle to defend the city, such a large number of accompanying magicians are absolutely terrifying killing machines. The combination of these forces, coupled with the tall and strong walls of Mandos City, gave the city the "city that never falls" " title.

Roger didn't quite agree with that statement, though.He has heard two sayings on Earth, the first is "the strongest castle is often captured from the inside"; the second is "there is no defense line in the world that cannot be broken through".So Roger didn't take the idea that Mandos City would never be captured.

Of course, this is not something Roger has to worry about.What he had to do now was to enter the city before the city gate was closed, and then find the Duke of Hamilton's mansion as soon as possible, so as to meet the people who had been separated for a long time.

It is said that the population of Mandos City is more than 50. After entering the city, Roger felt the scale of the city firsthand.There are row upon row of buildings along the street, even after dark, the pedestrians on the street are still busy. This city is definitely the most prosperous place that Roger has been to since he came to Torenzo World.

Although the city of Mandos is large, it is not difficult to find the residence of the Duke of Hamilton.Tesh Hamilton not only holds the duke title, but is also the head of the Privy Council, one of the most powerful people in the kingdom.The duke's daughter, Anna Hamilton, is also a well-known beauty in the capital, even more famous among young people than her father.So Roger asked many passers-by along the way, and almost all of them knew where the Duke of Hamilton lived.Under the guidance of these people, Roger easily came to the Duke's mansion.

The duke's mansion is located in the aristocratic area in the south of the city. This house can be called a small castle.There are not many people as powerful as the Duke of Hamilton in the kingdom, and no one dared to say anything about his slightly extravagant residence.

Roger told the servant at the door his name, and asked him to announce himself.Anna had already given instructions about Roger, so after hearing Roger's self-reported name, the servant immediately trotted to inform him.

Roger waited at the door for not long before a group of people came out in a hurry.They were all Roger's subordinates. They had returned to the capital with Anna before, and just now they heard that Roger had finally arrived, so naturally they all came out to greet their master.

Mike and Eddie ran first, and the others followed behind.The expressions on the familiar faces of Roger are full of excitement and joy, and it can be seen that they are really happy to see Roger again.

"I've seen the master!" A group of people came to Roger, and saluted Roger respectfully under the leadership of Eddie and Mike.

You don't need to ask to know that this must be Eddie's idea. As a top student at the Royal School of Etiquette, he has always felt that everyone's attitude towards Roger is not in line with etiquette.So taking advantage of the opportunity at the Duke's house, Eddie taught everyone the basic etiquette, which finally came in handy at this time.

Roger didn't stop everyone from saluting to him. The longer he stayed in the world of Torenzo, the more he got used to the customs here.So Roger also knew very well in his heart that sometimes he had to maintain a little difference of superiority and inferiority with his subordinates.This is not just as simple as satisfying self-esteem, but also related to whether he can really get the support of his subordinates.

However, after accepting everyone's greetings in a grand manner, Roger's performance was more casual.He first introduced Chris and others and Mike and others, and explained that the Cavaliers will also play for him in the future.

In fact, the two sides have met each other in Fort Davao, and they can be regarded as comrades-in-arms who have fought together.Now everyone is playing for Roger, and the relationship between each other is very harmonious.Luo Jie and everyone talked to each other about the things they encountered after they broke up, and it was enjoyable for a while.

At this moment, a petite figure ran out of the house and rushed towards Roger.
