Chapter 601: The First Battle of Destiny (17)
Although the building in front of it is said to be the inner fort of the Storm's End, it is not unusual from other places, it is just a medieval fortress, which may be stronger and more complex.
The shape of the inner fort is more like a tower, and the four sides are intricately linked with buildings such as the city walls and the drawbridge inside the fort, making the castle more dangerous and complex, and the top of the tower is heavy with stone, and from the cliff outside the castle, it looks like a fist rising into the sky, with an impenetrable majesty.
There are no bells and whistles inside and outside the fort, because it is a purely military fortress, not a post-modern ornamental castle on earth, and even the places where the soldiers live are very compact and scarce, and almost any spare space has been used.
The walls and the outside of the inner fort have undulating edges and corners like dogs' teeth, and black holes and holes protrude from various casual corners, buried hidden arrows and crossbows from unknown places, but Barry has used his speed to sweep the perimeter of the inner fort, and most of the threats have been removed.
But the fortress itself is a labyrinth-like building, there are many hidden dangers that can not be taken down just by being fast, there are many places, Barry can't even see and can't find them, even if he can run the entire Storm's End Castle a few laps in the blink of an eye, but the invisible dark whistle, he can't solve it.
"Farin could be there." Stark stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction, and a dark red crosshair appeared on the walls of the medieval inner fort, "Jarvis's repository contains a lot of information about the castle, and most of their command posts are placed in the center of the inner fort. And it's easy to get in and out. It has its back against the wall. There should also be a secret passage, this is the third day of our siege of Storm's End, and according to the efficiency of the Middle Ages, he should not be outside to supervise the war. ”
Yi Huan and the others looked at the crosshairs, it was an inconspicuous corner of the inner fort, facing southwest, that is, facing the direction of the plain outside the Wind's Breath Fort, and the field of vision was very broad. An army of the Unsullied should be visible outside the city.
Behind it is the towering wall, connected to the inner fort, and outside the wall is the towering cliff and the sea, and if there is a secret passage, then there must be a secret passage to the bottom of the cliff, and there are ships to be parked there in advance.
Although Storm's Rest is known as an impenetrable barrier to King's Landing, its actual height is not very high, and it is extremely rare to be able to reach a height of 100 feet with only manpower without the assistance of the Green Prophet's magic, so although Falin may be on the third floor of the Inner Fort. However, the actual height is only about the same as that of the sixth floor.
"Is everything in order?" Yi Huan asked Barry next to him, he was not worried that Barry's speed would alarm the guards. The fact that there was no chaos in the castle was the best proof of this, and he asked if there were any strange things in the castle, such as large bows and crossbows or wizards.
After all, this is an era of cold weapons, and there used to be magic, and large defensive equipment will still bring some trouble to a few people, and the shadow of the demon is still swirling, and Yi Huan has to be guarded against.
"Nope." Barry shook his head, "It's all soldiers, and I've seen a few large crossbow bolts, but they're all fixed to the western wall and can't be moved. ”
"There are no wizards, and there are no werewolves we saw before, just some ordinary soldiers, some of them even look in tatters, and I just knocked them unconscious." Barry thought for a moment, "The soldiers around here are better, and I've seen several heavily armed knights, which is cool, I almost couldn't find a place to start." ”
Barry's voice was a little immature, and he even trembled a little in the empty night, and it could be seen that he was still a little nervous, among several people, the youngest was Barry, Stark needless to say, must be much older than Barry, maybe about four or five years older than Winnie, and Yi Huan, if you count the time that Neverland's youth is forever, he may have been more than thirty years.
When he was in Midtown, Barry was a junior student who had just graduated and worked for a short time, and he accidentally obtained the power of God Speed Force, and he didn't know how to use it at all, but fortunately he had a group of tech nerd friends behind him, and the enemy was not a terrible guy, otherwise he would have died I don't know how many times.
In the face of this backward and fantastical Middle Ages, Barry's interest is greater than the crisis, he is very curious about everything here, curious about how the TV drama world he saw on TV became real, and how the people in it lived.
So when he faced the heavily armored knight, his first reaction was cool, this was a medieval knight, and then he thought about how to knock this tin can unconscious.
Barry pursed his lips under the red mask, at this time he could not see the momentum of Flash, one of the strongest heroes in the Justice League, he was more like a hairy boy, who would be excited to fight his way out of the encirclement of the werewolf wave, and also excited to sneak into a well-defended fortress.
"Hmm...... That's right, you completely helped us clear up the troubles ahead. After thinking about it, Yi Huan suddenly said as if he remembered something.
Barry's brows under the mask couldn't help but furrow a little, but because of the mask covering, no one could see it, and he wasn't dissatisfied with anything in his heart, but felt that Yi Huan's performance was a little weird, and it seemed to be ...... It's not so normal, but he can't say the specifics, he just feels that something seems wrong.
"Don't do it lightly." Yi Huan said to Stark beside him, "Once we alarm everyone, even if we are not afraid of them, there will definitely be casualties, and then the Unsullied will have a big battle with them, and many people will definitely die." ”
"I understand." Stark said impatiently, "I'm not suitable for a quiet raid, I don't know what you're calling me for, just to find out where Falin is, you should know that Jarvis isn't very reliable." ”
"Sir, Jarvis' computing power is ......" his butler and assistant immediately expressed his displeasure in the system, but Stark didn't pay attention to it at all.
Yi Huan thought for a while, "Well, that's right, you're right. He said. I just don't want to see you so idle in the camp. You were the one who came to the rescue of Westeros. You've got to do something. ”
Stark's mask lifted upward, and he immediately glared at Yi Huan and was about to quarrel with Yi Huan, but at this time, Yi Huan ignored him, but grabbed the shoulders of several people and disappeared in place with them in an instant.
The magic of wizards is very convenient, whether it is in the wilderness or the convenience of life, otherwise why so many people envy wizards and magic is not because of their powerful attack power. It's something else that can be used and competed incomparably more.
The figures of the four of them immediately distorted, because of their invisibility, they didn't even make a little wave, and when they reappeared, they had already entered the inner castle, which was the location of Stark's mark.
Yi Huan's phantom migration was already very skillful, and the spatial energy could be said to be one of the most familiar to him, so naturally there would not be a situation where half of his body was stuck in the wall, and at this time they were already in the Storm's Breath Castle, and the hidden spell power was engraved on those walls. It can't affect the hustle and bustle in the slightest.
It's a warm room with a row of small ventilation holes at the top. It also acts as a window, with an exceptionally bright oil lamp as the only source of light, and a small fireplace on the wall emitting residual heat.
The vicinity of King's Landing can't be called cold, but the Storm's End is backed by the sea, and the perennial sea breeze makes it much cooler than elsewhere, and now the winter is slowly dropping, and the temperature is dropping little by little.
It's just that even if the outside temperature is so shocking, there is still a comfortable warmth in this room, and there are rows of bookshelves in the corner, and the oil lamp on the table that is not extinguished is also very exquisite, it can be seen that this is not a place where ordinary people live, but a room for important people.
"Sir Gilbert Fallin." Yi Huan said softly, "It's his room, yes, but he's not here." ”
Stark lowered his mask, looked around with his narrow electronic eyes, and finally landed on the fireplace, "What is the residual temperature...... The temperature at which the flame burns...... Cooldown...... Approximately...... Four minutes. "He just left four minutes ago." ”
"And will be back soon." Barry added after glancing at the unextinguished oil lamp on the table.
"Are you going to wait for him here?" Winnie stood beside Yi Huan, and after entering the inner fort, the actions of several people were led by Yi Huan.
If this operation is mainly about killing, such as killing the lord or nobles of Storm's End, then any of the four can do it, as long as Stark throws a few explosive bombs into it, more than half of the soldiers defending the city will be killed or wounded, but their purpose is not this.
Barry and Stark are not in favor of killing, and Daenerys wants to take Storm's End, but she doesn't plan to kill too many people, the civilians of Westeros are her former people, if there are too many casualties, it is not conducive to her future rule, she wants a relatively intact Storm's End.
Therefore, the only person who can change the minds of others is Yi Huan, who is a wizard.
Yi Huan took out a crystal bottle from his arms, and the bottle contained some crumbs that looked like cereal, which were collected by Yi Huan after the previous soldier was turned into ashes, but at this time, the debris in the bottle was decreasing, although the speed was slow, but it was still visible to the naked eye.
Stark and the others didn't know what it was, but they could see that it was decreasing, and no matter what it was, it was probably not a good thing to decrease.
"There's not much time." "Let's go find him, Stark, can you track him down?" ”
"You are what I am." Stark said angrily, "I didn't have a tracking facility. ”
Yi Huan nodded, "Then you use the thermal sensor to scan the faults in the castle, and I will try to resonate with him." With that, he put his hand on the long table in the room.
Stark unleashed the Iron Suit's own detection microbot, and with the assistance of Jarvis, began to scan the castle layer by layer, revealing a portrait of the temperature of a figure in the virtual interface.
At the same time, Yi Huan's mind also flashed through some scattered pictures.
A man who looks quite dignified......
Unshaven...... Midlife......
Very calm, the management of the Storm's Rest Fort is well organized......
Not panicked by the siege of the Unsullied, but seemed to be furious because there were people in the castle looting food......
It wasn't long ago...... Stairs on the left...... It's in a hall on the lower level......
Yi Huan instantly opened his eyes and looked at the screen projected by Stark, there were dozens of rooms large and small, and there were about a hundred people scattered in it, and after looking carefully, "Here." He pointed to a small room not far from the group below.
"Are you sure?" Stark asked.
"Anyway, I'm better than you." Yi Huan smiled.
The passages and corridors inside the castle were much smaller than those outside, and many of the narrow areas were even only accessible to two people, and most of the military forts of this era had no windows, were almost hermetically sealed and very dark, illuminated only by the torches hanging high on the walls.
There is no point in casting an invisibility spell in a narrow passage, although Yi Huan can also turn the bodies of several people into a transparent form, but he doesn't want to waste magic here, since he learned about the magic principles of Oz, he has paid more attention to the cost and balance of magic.
Although a lot of the magic he unleashed still didn't have a price, these things were actually unavoidable, and the cost of magic was hidden deep in it, and when it added up one day, it would be a huge trouble.
Anyway, with Stark's micro-robots, it's no problem to avoid these mobile patrol guards in advance, not to mention the Flash Barry Allen.
The stairs inside the castle were very steep, but it was not a problem for several people at all, and Yi Huan's feet were gently suspended not far from the ground, and he felt that the floating charm was more convenient than walking.
Stark is constantly glued to his screen, and his mission is to avoid these guards and minimize collisions.
"Wait." Stark said suddenly, "There are two groups of guards coming here, and they seem to be unable to avoid it, about ...... Eight people, it is not excluded that there is a possibility of more people with heat overlap. ”
Yi Huan looked back at Barry Allen, and at the same time, Barry had disappeared in an instant, and the golden flash streaked across the castle like meteors, and the team of guards from the right looked at Stark's screen and seemed to fall to the ground limply at the same time in an instant.
It's a pity that the remaining time is too late, and the guards on the left still come over, but their luck is even worse, because the crystal bottle in Yi Huan's hand seems to be in need of a new batch of replenishment.
"Catch them." Yi Huan pressed his left hand against the wall, and the silent magic spread out, and the cold wall instantly became boiling, and several people were firmly fixed by the suddenly softened stone, and they couldn't even make a sound. (To be continued......)
