Warlock Royal Family

Chapter 190 Outpost of the Ancient Empire

The painful search went on for ten days. . .

Although the prime minister of Sazastan, Earl Slam, warned Jones to be more cautious, Ladislaus had no countermeasures against the state of Earl Slam.

In the next few days, Ladislaus asked several red-robed mages to prepare the anti-evil and anti-chaos magic circles in turn, ensuring that the two effects on Earl Slam and Secret Officer Jones would never be interrupted during the pathfinding.

Although this kind of primary protection in front of Winter Ghost may not have much effect, it did make the two pathfinders, especially Earl Slam, feel the monarch's concern, and their spirits improved a bit.

In fact, Earl Slam's emotional problems are not just caused by Earl Slam. In this environment, it is very difficult to search for the target. In addition, it is still the winter ghost who is searching. ending.

Because there are no camel beasts to fight in this environment, the supply conditions of this team are also a nightmare.

As the search time got longer, Ladislaus became more and more impressed by His Majesty Ferdinand and the commander-in-chief Hannibal thousands of years ago. It is more than a hundred times more difficult to carry out large-scale military operations in this kind of area than small-scale expeditions.

Spellcasters don't get much preferential treatment here. Of course, they still don't need to keep vigil. Most of the supplies and food are still carried on the warriors and priests, but the casting consumables and potions must be carried by the caster themselves. Everyone has to pay for their own rations and water for three days.

Even Ladislaus himself is carrying a ten-pound water bladder. Although the water is not frozen, but Ladislaus has a strange feeling that as the water is drank less and less, this thing is getting worse and worse. It's getting heavier.

If you stay in this ghost place for a little longer, your mental and physical fitness will decline.

But the turning point finally appeared.

Earl Slam's mood improved and his judgment improved. He finally realized that the terrain had changed due to the change of the snow line. He realized that the ice crevasse he had been looking for might not be there anymore. exist or have been unrecognizable.

Following this line of thought, Baron Slam finally found the place where he was raided last time.

It turned out that they had been walking in that former ice crevasse for a long time. In fact, the winter ghost's activity area should be on the previous platform. Seasonal and summer terrain changes turn snow into slopes.

After a whole day of tossing, in the evening, everyone finally climbed up the ten-meter-deep slope.

Although during the climbing process, the pioneers in front had already told the casters and warriors behind that they had found the traces of the enemy, but Ladislaus did not understand the meaning of the traces until he climbed to the platform.

This "trace" means an ancient fortress halfway in the snow.

The reason why you can tell that it is an ancient fortress at a glance is because you can see the almost intermittent remnants of the city wall on the edge of the ruins.

It is said to be a fortress, but it should be said to be closer to a stronghold, which can only accommodate 200 people at most. <It should be invisible, only visible in summer and autumn.

While Ladislaus was pondering the origin of the monument and its relationship to the winter ghosts, Prime Minister Sarzastan had cast a spell.

Like other spellcasters, he was hoisted up by ropes. Although Ladislaus used the power of the Grand Wish Knight to supplement the vitality of his disciple of Kossuth in spite of criticism before departure, but the life in the snow for the past few days was of great importance to him. He is still a great burden.

However, the desire to survive supported him. He realized that Ferdinand and Ladislaus were both extraordinary monarchs. If he could continue to assist them, he would be able to push the career he had dedicated half his life to new heights.

He successfully cast "Knowing the Legend" under extremely exhausting conditions.

The sixth-level magic of "Knowing the Legend" takes a few ten minutes to a few days or even weeks to cast according to the caster's problem and his knowledge range.

Prime Minister Sarzastan got the answer in less than an hour relying on his rich knowledge and enough associative power.

"This should be the outpost of the ancient Roman Empire thousands of years ago." Not only Ladislaus, everyone who heard this information was a little dazed, "After defeating the Carthaginian Empire, the Romans built an outpost here to prevent And the enemy will break into the empire directly from this place."

Frundsberg said with great reverence: "Building a fortress here shows how powerful and prosperous the ancient Roman Empire is." He did not call this place an outpost like Prime Minister Sazastan did. In his opinion, this scale is a Fortified.

"It shouldn't be so strong. The climate at that time might be a little more livable than it is now, and the traffic is much better. Otherwise, it is unnecessary and impossible to build permanent fortifications here." Although Ladislaus objected to Fren Zberg, in fact, was also very shocked in his heart. In any case, only the greatest empire can organize such a defense at its strongest stage. "Is this stronghold related to the winter ghosts?"

Ladislaus asked Prime Minister Sarzastan that it was unlikely that these two things were here at the same time just by coincidence.

"Not only does it matter, in fact the winter ghost is the real defender of this outpost, he should be the one who was set to strike into this outpost. We are now outside the wall of the outpost, when His Royal Highness Frundsberg and Earl Slam The route of travel may be inside the wall. This outpost is not large, and it can be searched thoroughly in half a day."

"Then should we start searching immediately, if it escapes, all previous efforts will be wasted." Sirika's boss is a little overconfident, isn't it suicide to fight against this kind of opponent who can conduct space raids at night?

"Escape? Why did it escape? We are a delicious meal that he hasn't been waiting for for many years." Prime Minister Sarzastan glanced at the still confident Boss Sirika and decided not to explain this difficult problem to him.

He whispered a few words directly to Ladislaus, and Ladislaus announced that he would set up camp immediately and search the outpost tomorrow.

Everyone except the caster could not sleep that night, and even if the state is worse tomorrow, the enemy cannot be given a chance to sneak attack.

Frundsberg looked at the dark outpost ruins from the camp, and once again felt the life and death of that encounter.

The pair of eyes that made such a determined and indomitable person feel palpitations seemed to stare at him again.

Although he should have accepted all endings in order to pursue power and wealth, Frundsberg is still afraid of this powerful enemy beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

He glanced at his old comrade-in-arms, Earl Slam, at this time he returned to a calm state again.

Sensing Frenzberg's gaze, Earl Slam didn't look back. He continued to maintain his guard and said, "Don't worry about me. I was in a bad state of mind because I had to worry about sneak attacks during the search. Now I'm fine. Very. The worst case is that it comes to sneak attack now. It’s a matter of life or death. Just like the story His Royal Highness the Cardinal told a few days ago, you won’t be nervous when your boots fall. Besides, no matter how strong it is Can it be stronger than the [-] French army?"
