While the burly knight was talking, Lei Xiao's eyes continued to look at the towering fortress walls.
I saw that most of the gray anti-magic coating on the surface of the fortress had peeled off and cracked, like falling walls, revealing the walls made of some kind of solid rocks, exuding a vicissitudes of old and ancient atmosphere everywhere, and it really looked extremely ancient.
Although the wall surface is covered with a faint amber defense barrier that is not easy to detect, it is still difficult to cover up its weathered appearance.
After hearing the words of the burly mysterious knight, Lei Xiao first responded, then nodded slightly to Lila and other stone giants and the powerful people on our side, and signaled everyone to prepare to enter the city.
This fortress covers a huge area, comparable to any large city. Not to mention three stone giant legions, even thirty ones are extremely easy to enter. However, due to the limited size of the city gate, the stone giant soldiers had to bend over and pass.
Lei Xiao also noticed when passing through the metal suspension bridge in front of the city gate.
This metal suspension bridge, which is more than 100 meters long, was obviously prepared for the moat, but it was extremely dry, with no trace of the dry riverbed, and it was flat everywhere, which also proved from the side that this was a misplaced object that was not originally here.
Before this, although Lei Xiao also discovered misplaced objects such as the ancient Titan temple, due to the "lost ruins effect", all of them lost their masters, and only an empty shell was left to tell the unknown past.
However, this mysterious city was the first place that seemed to be operating normally and did not lose its owner.
Realizing this in his heart, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. It has to be said that the origin of this mysterious city and the identity of this group of mysterious city guards are indeed curious.
In addition, there is also the point that Jasmine mentioned just now, that is, since this mysterious city has been standing here since the blank era, how did the people here live here?
After all, judging from the situation along the way, there is no farmland here, nor any trace of reclamation, unless the mysterious city guards here are also special existences like dark elves miners.
"But this guy's thinking is obviously different from Jace and others, no different from normal people. And there are at least several soldiers of the legion here. Even in the Silver Moon Era, it should be difficult to find so many containers."
"Or, like Old Gary and others, they all use themselves as containers themselves?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on the burly gray armored knight leading the way forward again.
Could it be that the other party's true face hidden behind the knight's helmet is a bone like a dead soul?
Just as Lei Xiao was confused, the group had already passed through the thick fortress gate and came to the inside of the fortress.
Looking around, just like what I saw outside the city, there was indeed a Weng City inside the gate, which was a standard military fortress. At this moment, the second city gate was already open, and there were many fully armed gray armored soldiers standing around.
Perhaps because we may misunderstand, on the surrounding city walls, there were only a small number of gray-armored soldiers climbing up and looking at them. The others were towering arrow towers and magic towers, with most of them mottled surfaces, and they all exuded the smell of vicissitudes and ancient times.
However, although the entire fortress looked extremely old, it was obviously carefully cleaned and almost spotless everywhere.
Under the guidance of the burly mysterious knight, the group quickly passed through the second city gate and arrived at the interior of the fortress.
After confirming that all the Stone Giant soldiers were following him, Lei Xiao then focused his attention on the environment inside the fortress.
I saw that the houses on both sides of the road were exactly the same as before, which was extremely old and extremely clean, giving people a very special sense of vicissitudes.
As for the style of the house, it is a standard barrack style and does not have much architectural features or artistic expressions. The walls and eaves of the house also have vines on the other side's armor as decoration.
"It's indeed a fortress, not an ordinary city."
Lei Xiao's eyes moved and finally landed at the end of the fortress. There was obviously a towering city wall, which should be the inner city of the fortress.
The group continued to move along the extremely spacious road. Along the way, the burly gray armored knight who led the way did not speak any further until he stopped in front of a large and heavily guarded building.
This should be an area similar to the command center. There are all fully armed gray armored soldiers standing around, and their bodies are covered in armor and their faces are not visible. Judging from the aura that is faintly emitted, they are all above the fifth level.
"This is the command hall of the outer city. As for the inner city, it is our core confidentiality and outsiders are not allowed to enter."
The burly mysterious knight did not go around the corner and said bluntly: "Since your goal is to calm the outbreak of the magical veins, it is exactly the same as us, because those disgusting giant eyeballs appear through the magical veins."
"What you mean is willing to cooperate with us?"
Lei Xiao quickly extracted the core of the other party's words and asked.
"That's right, since you are the leader of the stone giant, then we are willing to believe you and open the door for you."
The burly mysterious knight nodded and affirmed: "We can enter the command hall for detailed deployment."
When he heard the other party say his purpose, whether it was Lila and the other two, or the group of stone giant generals on standby, he couldn't help but frown tightly.
Although the other party said he trusted His Majesty, where did this trust come from?
I'm afraid the other party was not the one who saw His Majesty showing his power and possessed the ability to erase "erosion", so he suddenly became amiable? After all, the other party was planning to attack us not long ago.
At the front of the team, Lei Xiao's brows also frowned slightly.
I also knew very well about what everyone was thinking. Is this the direct reason for the other party's attitude change?
But if I were standing on the standpoint of a mysterious city, I would never act so rashly without understanding us. Who knows whether this would lead a wolf into the house?
The other party's voice seemed mature and steadfast, and I think it would not have helped him so easily.
Therefore, this is probably not a reason for the other party to change his attitude.
So, what is the other party’s real reason?
If you don’t understand this, you will never be able to work together with the other party. Who knows if the other party will destroy the bridge? You will turn your back and hold it behind your back?
Thinking of this in my heart, Lei Xiao did not hide it and said straight to the point: "Your Excellency, this matter is quite serious, and those "evils" are even more fierce and terrifying. Since you plan to cooperate, you should at least be open and honest, right?"
Hearing Lei Xiao's words, the burly mysterious knight looked at each other with the gray armored knights who looked like other commanders around him. Although they were all silent, they were obviously communicating with some secret contact method.
After a while, the burly mysterious knight turned his head and asked Lei Xiao: "What should we do if Yiru means?"
"At least take off your battle helmets and let me know where you came from."
Lei Xiao's face was calm and continued, "Now "Eclipse" is still launching an attack, and you still have a chance to gain our trust. If "Eclipse" sieges the city again, we will defeat them and give you the favors to help you, but we are forbidden to fight side by side with you."
After Lei Xiao said that, Lila and other stone giants also nodded in the key points.
Your Majesty is right. Although the stone giant will repay you with kindness, he will only stand by the trust robes and fight.
"I understand, your words are not without reason, we are abrupt."
The burly mysterious knight pondered for a moment, then raised his hands and began to open the metal buckle that connected his battle helmet to his shoulder armor.
Around the burly mysterious knights, other gray armored knights also made the same moves, which undoubtedly means that the true faces of these mysterious knights will soon be presented to everyone on our side.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and concentrate, and it was like they were concentrating. It has to be said that the true faces of these mysterious knights are indeed curious.
Accompanied by a series of brittle sounds of metal buckles opening, the first thing that peeled off was the throat guard between the battle helmet and the shoulder armor.
The churning silver-white breath overflowed from the neck, wrapped in the ancient smell of rust and dust, as if it was opening a long-clogged door.
When the silver-white aura dissipated, what appeared in front of everyone were wrinkled Adam's apples. These old Adam's apples slowly rolled in front of everyone, making a hoarse sound similar to metal friction.
Soon, when the knights led by the burly mysterious knights took off their closed battle helmets, their snow-white hair and old and firm faces came into everyone's eyes.
These knights are already very old, with their sagging skin like wrinkled tablecloths, and some even have sunken lips, which obviously have lost all their teeth.
But those eyes were extremely bright, without any sign of turbidity, like the crystals of carefully crafted gunpowder and war, or like sharpened sharp blades.
In sharp contrast, there are wrinkles densely covered with the corners of the eyes, as if they are precipitated with a long time and some heavy past.
Lei Xiao had only seen such resolute and powerful eyes in old powerful men such as Bing Lao, Bai Lao, and Hui Lao, and every gray armored knight in front of him had the same expression.
Most of them were obviously ordinary soldiers, and there were knight commanders like the burly mysterious knight. Lei Xiao had never seen such soldiers who were so old that they had never seen them.
Around Lei Xiao, the powerful men on our side looked surprised, and wherever they saw were all gray armored soldiers with silver frost on their heads.
Because this unexpected scene was quite impactful, when Lila waited for the stone giants to come back to their senses, she discovered something extremely amazing.
That is, these knights are obviously human race, just like His Majesty!
"So, is this actually a fortress of a human race?"
Jasmine opened her starry eyes hidden in her pink hood and couldn't help but feel surprised: "No, to be more precise, this should be from the ancient human race in the Silver Moon Era!"
"Is it the same origin as His Majesty?"
Not far from Jasmine, Lila's fair face was also full of surprise.
She never thought that the owner of this mysterious city with extremely powerful strength, as a misplaced object, would be a human race!
But if you think about it carefully, the human race is a existence standing at the peak of all races in the Silver Moon Era. It is respected by all races, and even the elf race dare not underestimate it.
Therefore, the power of a city alone is enough to compete with the most elite combat power of the Stone Giant, which is very reasonable.
At the core of everyone, Lei Xiao looked at the scene in front of him, and an irrepressible surprise surged in his eyes.
His eyes moved on the old and determined faces, and finally fell on the burly old knight in the head, who had neatly trimmed white beards, and his eyes were like a hawk that penetrated the mist, and he was indeed quite in the style of a general.
I once thought that behind the battle helmet, it might be elves, orcs, or even undead, but I didn't expect it to be human race!
After all, I have very limited understanding of the ancient human race, and Feier and Bing Lao, who were born in the ancient human race, have forgotten most of the things.
"Are you soldiers from the Gray Thorn Kingdom?"
Beside Lei Xiao, Fei'er obviously finally remembered something and blurted out.
As soon as Fei'er said this, this time she changed to the old knight of the gray armor and others were surprised.
"I didn't expect that after three thousand years, someone would remember me waiting."
The gaze of the burly old knight fell on Fei'er for the first time. The latter was petite and deliberately guarded Lei Xiao behind him and hid in the team of strong men, so he was not conspicuous.
Hearing this conversation, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
According to Fei'er and Bing Lao's description, he had learned that in the ancient human race, in addition to the Silver Fire Kingdom, which was the overlord, and the Yongdong Kingdom where Bing Lao's residence, there was another country called Gray Thorn.
One of the representative features of the Gray Thorn Kingdom is the thorns that are entangled together, which looks quite similar to the vines, which just meets the opponent's armor and the patterns on the buildings in the city.
However, these patterns have been lost for a long time, and Feier and Bing Lao only vaguely remember this feature, but forgot their specific appearance.
It seems that Fei'er noticed these patterns and had known about the amber barrier, so she kept trying to remember the other party's identity.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, he saw the burly old knight in surprise, looking at Fei'er for a while, and then said, "You seem to have a breath that is the same as us. Are you too..."
"I am just an ordinary member of His Majesty."
Fei'er ignored the other party's guess and said lightly: "Since you are also humans, how can you be so rude to Your Majesty?"
"His Majesty?"
