Alien Knights

　　 The wheels of the carriage rolled on the dirt road in Muxi Town, making a "creaking" sound.

Seeing Todd's figure appearing in the convoy, the residents on both sides of the road stopped their work and stopped the ongoing conversation, their upper body stood upright with their heads down, their bodies moved with the priest's steps, silent respect. Permeated the quiet air. There were only five or six young children, happily following the convoy, shouting respectfully "Master priest".

In the team, Walton, a stocky man who was looking around with a sense of freshness and talking loudly with his friends around him, was shocked by the strange atmosphere, turned around and looked at Todd's familiar face, but he never said it again. The way to connect this person with the monk who toasts around the church camp.

"If I remember correctly, more than three months ago, there was still an uninhabited beach here..." He tightened the crossbow machine behind his back, and Walton mumbled to the woman beside him, Adelina, "Now here it is. It has become, a lively and prosperous town...what kind of magic power does that person have?!"

　　 Walton scratched his hair angrily: "Ah! What a bad luck! If there wasn't a mission, I could stay in Silver Ring City to see the trial!"

Walking in front of him, the boy with a red pattern on his forehead turned around, saw the boots from the top of the man’s head, and said in a mocking tone: "Even if you were there at that time, you wouldn’t see it unless you brought it. A pair of stilts."

　　 Listening to the noise of the people behind him, Todd walked and put his eyes on the girl beside him.

　　 After experiencing the thrilling heresy trial together, he is confident that his relationship with Karin Forman should become more harmonious. Who knows that the phrase "a woman's heart under the sea needle" is not wrong at all, the relationship between the two has not progressed at all, but has a tendency to regress.

　　 When he looks at the girl, the other person will always avoid his sight; when the two are alone in the same room, Karin will always find various reasons and leave the room.

　　 It doesn’t make sense to do this. Did you do something wrong?

　　 With such distress, Todd, who was puzzled, chose to turn his attention to the knight in front of him.

　　 Under Alfonso's chain armor and iron face, the giant parasite that covered his whole body really impressed him too deeply. But the "perspective" ability can only penetrate cloth, wood, and flesh and blood. For such metal objects, only the blurry reflections inside can be seen. In Todd's heart at this time, the hopeless curiosity began to haunt him again.

　　 It would be great if the knight could take off the armor that was in the way, or could he steal it off without paying attention?

　　 This kind of dangerous and absurd thought circulated in his mind several times, and finally was thrown off the cliff by reason.

　　 The motorcade drove out of Muxi Town and followed the road to the east. Although the journey is not very far away, due to the slow speed of the carriage, the total journey is estimated to take one day and one night. Half of the time is spent on the road and the other half is spent on rest.

　　 After traveling on the Moon Creek Plain for about an hour, Todd could see the "San Sidro Monastery" on the hill from a distance, and the workshop at the foot of the mountain with a light smoke.

　　 There are too many memories of him, Master Myris, morning lessons, seven arts, bad food, farm work, underground laboratory, silver refinery...

　　 The church gave him the power of attorney to set up the Muxi Harbour Church, and also granted him the priesthood. He had to take off the gray robe of the monk, but this did not mean that Todd was completely separated from the monastery.

　　 On the one hand, he handed over the secret silver refining recipe and all the refining stoves at the foot of the mountain to the monks in the monastery. Although those benefits may not be enough for hundreds of monks to worry about food and clothing, at least they can make their ascetic life less clear of poverty and more peaceful; on the other hand, he and Fabian The bishop privately agreed that the church would cease all attempts to annex the "San Sidro Monastery".

　　 The team continued to move forward, and Todd felt more and more familiar with the scenery along the road.

　　 This is the road he travels with Karin.

　　 The priest turned his head and looked at the girl beside him. The other person looked at the scenery in front of him, with idiotic eyes and thoughts all over his face.

　　 "Kalin, I..."

　　 Hearing Todd's voice, the girl woke up suddenly, like a scared rabbit, jumping and hiding into the distance.

　　 The speaker touched the bridge of his nose awkwardly, and said in his heart, am I that scary?

　　 After a short break during lunch time, the convoy went forward for another four hours, and finally reached the Watch Fort smoothly at 6 o'clock in the afternoon when the sun was slanting westward.

　　——————————————

　　 Watch Fort was built on the pass of the Falling Star Mountain Range. It is located at the junction of three important roads. To the south, it leads to the Moon Creek Plain, and to the east to the border of the Silver Ring Kingdom ~ www.readwn.com~ to the north to the barbarians of the plateau and snow.

　　 Shouwang Fort’s standing troops are about 225 men, and the main units are spearmen, crossbowmen, and heavy infantry. The defense commander was served by Sir Adams, with five knights under his command, of which three were secular knights and two were church knights.

From the perspective of the cross section of the castle wall, the height is much larger than the width. The wall adopts a structure similar to a slice of bread. The inner and outer surfaces are brick and stone masonry, and the middle is mixed with stones mixed with mortar. The shape is almost completely vertical. Like a curtain.

　　 The defenders inside the castle can walk freely on the stone wall under the cover of the thin, piled stone breast wall. And through the perforation on the breast wall, you can shoot arrows or throw other projectiles at the besieger.

　　The entrance and exit of the castle are designed with double doors. The entrance to the south is a gear-stirring door; the entrance to the north is a four-cable suspension bridge.

　　 In general, the Watch Fort is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was built in a dangerous place. It is an important barrier for the church and the secular country in the south to resist the barbarians in the north.

　　 Not far from this barrier, pure water formed by melting snow in the mountains flows slowly on the ground along the mountain stream, into the groundwater in the mountain, and eventually becomes the main source of domestic water for the residents of Shouwang Town on the hillside.

　　 After the sun set, a group of uninvited guests wearing gray robes, under the cover of night, avoided the turbulent crowds, came to the well in the town, and began their long-prepared plan.

　　 They opened the wax-sealed copper pot hidden in their arms and poured the thick, light black liquid into the well.

　　 A man straightened up, with the emblem of "Crown of Thorns" engraved on his chest, shining with silver light. He looked at the vast night and the distant fire, and whispered in his mouth: "The experiment has begun..."
