Chapter 393: Mysterious Coast and Ancient Ruins

"Continental! It's the mainland! Looking into the distance that gradually turned from a black dot to a black line, Yuri shouted in ecstatic air, and it didn't take long, but the news of the appearance of the mainland in front of him reached all the soldiers of the convoy, and then after the ears, the shouts of one person gradually turned into the cheers of the people, like the rolling waves that crashed on the reef cliff one after another, and the previously listless sailors were all running on the deck of the transport ship in the excited shouts of the first mates, The ship he was on could only reach the land of hope at the fastest and most average speed, and even the Sunset Army, which had been seasick before, put on all the armor they had taken off before boarding the ship as if they had been resurrected on the spot, and the Reykjavik archers had already arrived on the deck with powerful compound bows.

After more than 3 hours, the huge sunset transport fleet finally docked on the mysterious continent that they regarded as the savior before, but as the saying goes: the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, although nearly 30,000 sunset soldiers, sailors, etc. asked for the fate of drifting on the sea, but the situation on the continent in front of them obviously could not make all the sunset soldiers who disembarked happy.

First of all, the Sunset Fleet landed on a very desolate beach, although there were many coconut trees around the beach, behind this beach was all Loess Plateau, all as far as the eye could see, all the desolate Gobi and the cliffs that were about to turn into sand dunes, and further afield, Yuri also found snow, and a series of snow-capped mountains, this terrible terrain can give everyone present the bad news that they will not be able to get enough food this time. At least, this is the case until you have the ability to cultivate a large number of fields on this beach in a short period of time, or until the seafood in this coastal area is confirmed to be abundant.

And more importantly, many soldiers who never set the sun discovered a sight that they could not imagine - the ruins of the castle: "This is ......... Alien or Terran castles? After disembarking, Yuri rode on horseback with the 50 members of the general's guard guarding him, and crossed a short, yellow mud road full of rubble, but obvious road marks, to the edge of the sea cliff to the right side of the fleet landing, where he saw the ruins of a small castle made of stone and bricks.

Judging by the fact that the castle has been weathered by the sea breeze, it has been at least 200 years since the small stone fort was turned into ruins. At this time, the ruins of the castle and the surrounding area were covered with long yellow grass, and Yuri, who was caressing the only city wall in the ruins that had not collapsed, but there were obvious signs of being hit by stones and burned by fire above, gradually sketched the former appearance of this castle: this is a castle with a very small area, its center is an inner fort about 13 meters high, and it is an inner fort with only a top platform and no small tower, and around this inner fort within more than 100 meters, there are 4 sides of the height or only 7, 8 meters of low city walls. The four corners of this small castle have four watchtowers up to 15 meters high, and the entrance is a little different from that of ordinary castles, because the outer walls of this castle have no gates, only a huge gate weighing thousands of pounds and bound with iron wooden boards.

"It's the architectural style of the Middle-earthers." Yuri muttered while referring to the knowledge he had learned in his mind at the Royal Military Academy on which the sun never sets about the architectural styles of castles in various regions of the King Continent (with the knowledge passed down by vampire allies for thousands of years, and it was difficult for Sun Lin to get this kind of knowledge), but at this time, his brows were always furrowed tighter than anyone else: "But this style is a style that has been forgotten in the Middle Continent ten thousand years ago, not to mention that there will be a castle here that looks like a castle built by the people of the Middle Continent, How to maintain this ancient style is a question to this day, and the most important thing is ............" As he spoke, Yuri slowly got up, walked quickly to the edge of the cliff, and looked at the left side of the sea cliffs that began to move towards the surrounding sea cliffs one after another, and the soldiers of the Sunset Army, who were ready to find a suitable place to set up a simple camp, and thousands of sailors who were busy going back and forth between the transport ship and the coast, transporting batches of baggage off the ship, said: "With such a poor terrain this time, what is the .......... here thousands of years ago, Will there be a large city comparable to the existence of the City of London? ”

………………

At night, after a short period of rectification, more than 20,000 soldiers who still had good energy had already set up three camps in the three higher terrain around the landing site of the Sunset transport fleet, and vaguely surrounded and protected the landing site in a zigzag pattern. Due to the shortage of timber here, and the timber stored on the transport fleet is very scarce, most of which are specially cut planks to repair the damaged area of the ship, so in addition to building a few wooden sentry posts on the surrounding high ground, the soldiers did not build wooden fences on the periphery of the three camps on their side and the two passages leading to the landing point, and this also made more than 20,000 soldiers who had to be divided into two groups, and the time point between the first half of the night and the second half of the night - 0 o'clock is the dividing time period. Alternately patrol the surroundings of the camp to ensure the safety of the 3 camps and the landing site 4, after all, everything here is no longer the place recognized by the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, and no one can guarantee that there will be any situation, if there is a fire dragon in the orthodox dragon clan that has disappeared for many years, it is estimated that the soldiers who will not be surprised by the sun does not set.

"How? Have all the scouts sent out have returned? In the commander's tent, which was as bright as day, Yuri, who was full of clay, put a clay pot that had just been kneaded out and had a lot of moisture outside the fire for the first time to dry, looked at the clay pots around him and smiled with satisfaction, and then asked the four officers who had just opened the curtain of the camp tent and came in, that is, the two commanders and deputy commanders of the 15th Heavy Infantry Regiment and the two commanders and deputy commanders of the Reykja Archery Corps.

"Only a few of them have returned to the surrounding coasts to reconnoitre, and the scouts who have gone inland have not yet returned." A middle-aged man with a Chinese face replied: "Your Excellency, the soldiers who reconnoitred the coasts on both sides have brought us good news and bad news. ”

"Tell me about it." Yuri said as he stood up.

"The good news is that I found a beach with a large area of coconut palms, so we have a guarantee of wood, as for the bad news......... Your Excellency, we have found three ruins of a castle that are the same as the ruins of that castle, and the only thing that is fortunate is that the ruins of these three castles do not have the ruins of a city and a port like the ruins of the castle where we are stationed. ”
