The violent shaking gradually stopped, and everything around was quiet again, as if nothing had just happened.

But the cave was eerily quiet, and there was not even a trace of fighting or shouting.

Unwilling to wait any longer, Horay rolled over and dismounted, drawing one of the spears he had strapped to his horse's back.

tightened the long sword and belt on his body, and reached out again and made a gesture: "Iron Mountain Praetorian Guard, follow me in and have a look." The others are stationed outside the cave, and no one is allowed to set foot in this cave without my orders! If I do not come out after three days, you shall return to the castle of the Grey Dove, and the gates shall be shut, and the gates shall be kept against it, until the knight of Turanian shall come back and tell him that he shall inherit the throne of Duke of the Grey Dove. ”

"Lord Duke!"

A soldier was about to speak, but was stopped by a look from Horay and did not dare to move.

The Duke of Grey Dove was strict in his army, and his methods were decisive and tough. As long as it is an order given by him, the Iron Mountain Army will carry it out immediately and unconditionally!

But I heard their lord say that if you can't get out.... That's obviously explaining the aftermath! And how can you not make them feel panicked?

Horay squinted at a pair of narrow eagle eyes, glanced at the crowd, and raised his head slightly.

"I'm talking about the very low chances of everything being prepared for the worst. But I don't think a single cave and a monster popping up from the ground can be devastating to us. Our Iron Mountain Army is far from so vulnerable! Now, follow me into the cave now! Pack your gear and fresh water, and go! ”

Seeing that the duke had made up his mind, some of the soldiers who wanted to speak out swallowed the words back into their stomachs. Instead, only the sound of uniform armor clashing remained.

The Iron Mountain Army completed the assembly in a state of silence, and all of them lined up to stand by.

But at this moment, when the Duke of Grey Pigeon turned around and was about to enter the cave, there was a whimper of a little milk dog from the side of his warhorse.

Horay was slightly stunned, and stopped to look back. But it was the puppy that Sophia gave him.

The strangeness on the faces of the surrounding soldiers flickered. Although the Duke is the same as before, his appearance is still so cold, and the army is still so strict. But they still felt the subtle changes in the Duke of Grey Dove.

Traveling with a dog? This was a fantasy before! If you kill these soldiers, they won't believe it. But now this thing.... But it happened to their duke.

Horay took a few steps back and tied the mouth of the bag with the dog tight. He glanced at one of the soldiers beside him, who immediately straightened up and nodded at him.

The gray pigeon soldiers are like this, they often don't need the boss to speak, and they can know what their adults mean with just one look.

The soldier knew that the Duke had told him to keep an eye on the puppy and take it back to Grey Pigeon Castle.

But to his surprise, as soon as Horay turned around and was about to leave, the dog struggled violently, desperately trying to get out of the bag.

Eventually, it got its wish, using its not-so-sharp claws to make a small hole in the sack. And he drilled out his little head with all his might, and fell to the ground with a "plop".

The puppy let out a few screams of pain, but still struggled to his feet, jumping up and running to Horay's feet.

It just sat there looking up at its master, sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail. The pure eyes and cute appearance are incompatible with this Iron Mountain Army with a bloody aura, and it seems so abrupt.

Horley didn't speak again, but looked down at the little furball at his feet. But he heard his voice and said coldly: "Do you have to come along?" If you have to come along, you can do it, but you are at your own risk. Don't expect me to help you on the battlefield. ”

The Duke of Grey Pigeon didn't care if the puppy could understand him, but he still turned around and strode towards the cave.

The soldiers around him stuck out their tongues secretly, feeling that their own adults were worthy of being their own adults, and they were so strict with a puppy.

The puppy's head tilted, and when he saw his master leaving, he hurriedly followed behind, but he did not hesitate at all.

In this way, the Duke of Gray Pigeon personally led the team, and he took the elite of his five hundred elites to resolutely enter this bottomless and bottomless dark cave.

In fact, Hooley's confidence was not arrogant. It's because if the hinterland of the Melsa Mountains can't be cleared, then their gray pigeons won't be able to move an inch! Not to mention any eastward expansion.

If he doesn't deal with these monsters that have appeared out of nowhere this winter, then he will be lying next to his couch like a tiger all year round! This was something that the Duke of Grey Dove would never tolerate.

Within minutes of stepping into the cave, Horay's eyes adjusted to the darkness of the cave.

The surrounding soldiers lit torches and lit the route. Several soldiers took their weapons and tossed aside the stones that had just tumbled down the road due to the tremors.

They are on the lookout and mark the road every distance they have traveled. Fortunately, the cave seemed to lead to the end, and after walking for nearly half an hour, I didn't find a fork in the road.

The floor of the cave is made entirely of mottled stone slabs. Although it is dilapidated and overgrown, it can be seen that it must have been inhabited before.

There is nothing unusual around the cave, but it is relatively flat. But perhaps it is the passage of time, which has caused the displacement and collapse of many stones, which seems to be a little crumbling.

They could continue to walk for more than an hour, but they did not see the Iron Mountain Army reconnaissance team that had entered here before. Not even a single corpse was seen .... That's a little weird.

Suddenly, Horay, who was walking at the front, stopped and raised his hand to signal the team to stop.

He frowned and listened, but faintly heard the sound of crackling water droplets.

The voice was faint and distant, but Horay had excellent hearing and was able to catch it.

However, since there is the sound of water dropping, it means that the cave is open, and it is not a dead end.

Horay swiped the ground and drew his sword and placed it diagonally in front of him, speeding up his pace. The Iron Mountain Army also clenched their weapons and followed him, and everyone cheered up.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but after two hours of advancement, the space in the cave seems to be getting narrower and narrower?

If the entrance to the cave could accommodate seven to eight people walking side by side, then at the moment they could only accommodate a maximum of five people walking side by side, let alone holding weapons, even if they were shoulder to shoulder.

And now, even ordinary soldiers can hear the sound of water droplets and gurgling water coming from in front of them. There's a river in this cave? It seems that the amount of water is not small.

Everyone felt a strange atmosphere, why did they only hear the sound of running water, but they couldn't see the river for a long time?

But soon, they knew why.

On the third hour of entering the cave, the narrow and slender passage suddenly opened up! It's like you've come to a hall. But there are still only mottled and damp stone walls around, and there is nothing special about it.

But even so, there are still some changes that fall into Hooley's eyes. That's the ground! The ground here was much wetter than when they first came in. Although he couldn't see the obvious water stains, he could feel the water magic elements that were abundant here.

The team marched for more than ten minutes, and suddenly there was a big turning point in front of them.

Horay stopped the group from moving on, and he stood at his side with a torch, allowing his figure to be pulled into a slender and slender way that extended directly to the opposite wall.

These Iron Mountain Soldiers all know that their Duke is going to use that unique ability! Manipulate the Shadows. That's right, Horray manipulated his reflection and turned the corner of the cave first, poking towards the blind spot.

And his countenance, which was always gloomy and calm, was slightly stunned at this moment. Immediately after, the Duke withdrew the black shadow and whispered, "Hurry up, the exit is ahead." ”

He had already seen the other side of the corner, and it turned out that it was the exit of the cave!

The soldiers followed the Duke with torches, and everyone was speechless at this moment.... They were completely blown away by the sight on the other side of the cave! What kind of cave is this? It's clearly a passage, a passage to another world!

The soldiers who saw this scene had the illusion that this was a gateway to another world. But after a little observation, Horay knew that it was still within the Melsa Mountains.

As you can see from the towering snow-capped mountains all around, it is located in a basin in the middle of the col, isolated from the rest of the world. Maybe once upon a time it was the domain of a kingdom or lord? But at this moment, it is just an ancient battlefield site that has been sealed by history for a long time!
