Chapter 355: What Boromir Saw
"This is the capital of water, Eliado's most prosperous city, and the core shipyard of the Liberty City-State."
In the south of the lonely soil, Polomir rode his horse and stopped at the entrance of the Water Capital, looking at the wonders after wonder and the huge statues at the mouth of the river, and his heart was shocked indescribable.
"The Perakir ship factory carefully built by ship kings of all generations will not surpass this place when it is most prosperous."
This commander of the White Tower and Supreme Guardian of Gondor have never left his country since he was born. It is not that he is unwilling to walk around or does not like to travel.
But there is really no leisure or space.
As soon as he became an adult, he went straight to the front line to face the vicious enemy and fight against the invasion of Mordor and the barbarians in the south.
From the time he arrived at the front line, all he could see was the black earth covered with poisonous fog and dust, and the filthy green and evil light in the sky at night.
In comparison, this place is simply a place of miracles, it is too beautiful.
Desirable.
The road from Gondor to this side was very smooth - mainly because the roads that were so broken that they were almost impossible to walk had been built by the cities belonging to the Free City State.
Just like the North and South Avenue, in the record, it was so damaged that it was only a few residues and pits that could be seen everywhere. It was also a swamp and river beach in the middle, making it extremely difficult to walk.
But now it has become a flat new avenue paved with gray stone bricks. The broken bridge used to cross the river has also been repaired and can be smoothly accessed.
At this time, Polomir remembered his father's words.
Under the protection of the Lord of the North, the people here live peacefully and securely, and they never have to face the vicious enemy directly.
On the other hand, Gondor is bleeding every day...
But there is nothing we can do about this, who made Gondor right there.
Whether it is due to obligations, responsibilities, or the pressure of survival, they must fight against evil and guard that line of defense.
With a complicated mood, Polomir sighed and continued northward, walking all the way to the roadside fort.
"Roadside Fort?"
In the clearing, looking up at the sighing wall, Polomir was speechless again.
Just listening to the name, I thought that the so-called "roadside castle" was really just a relatively large castle. Just like the lord of Gondor, it would be quite amazing to be able to raise thousands of people near the castle.
But who would have thought that the so-called "roadside fort" was actually a great city no less than White City, and its size was astonishing.
"Huh?"
While marveling, Polomir suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the entrance of the city.
Teams of well-equipped soldiers walked out of the city and headed north.
Their system seems to be quite regular, each team has a fixed number of people and has its own command.
"Say hello to you, sergeants from the roadside fort."
Close to a relatively less busy company, Polomir identified the company captain in the crowd at a glance and walked towards him.
"I am Polomir, the commander of the White Tower of Gondor. I came to visit Li Wei, the Lord of the North."
"Can you ask what's going on here?"
"It turned out to be a friend of Gondor."
The company captain put down his work for the time being and said:
"Our leader is fighting the evil there in the far north, but he alone cannot stop the huge monster army. We are about to go to the Great Wall to support the defenders there."
"Great Wall, defenders, monster legion?"
Polomir seemed a little confused.
He can understand and hear about these words, but how can they be gathered together?
He immediately expressed his doubts:
"I heard that the Angma remnants had been completely wiped out by the army of roadside fortresses 18 years ago. Kahndoum, the capital of Angma, has also become a stronghold in the free city-state. Why are there any monsters there? ”
The company captain replied, "It is normal for you not to understand. Those monsters have only begun to appear in recent years. They come from the northern wasteland further north and look more vicious than any enemy we have seen in the past."
"Can I be with you?"
After thinking about it, Polomir issued a peer application.
"If an enemy appears, my sword can be pulled out for this."
The company captain looked at the iron sword around Polomir's waist, stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and nodded at him.
"Yes, I can make the decision on this matter."
"You are welcome to join."
"Go over there to get a supply."
The captain pointed to the material distribution office.
With the idea of following the local customs, Polomir also went over to get a set.
"This 'marching dry food' is luxurious and is equipped with milk and honey. I have to say that the combination is quite healthy."
He sighed, and picked up one of the bottles of healing potions and asked, "By the way, what is this?"
"The treatment potion can recover from injuries and can take effect as long as it is not dead."
"It sounds a bit similar to Golden Apple."
"Golden Apple? That's not something that ordinary people can get." The company captain shook his head.
"That thing is usually distributed as a valuable gift representing a high honor, and it is hard to see."
"Is that true?"
Polomir nodded.
It seems that my father has a good relationship with Li Wei, yes, my father did call him uncle.
With doubts and confusion, Polomir advanced north with the gathered army and finally arrived at the foot of the Great Wall.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Whoosh-
A rain of arrows fell from the sky, knocking down the monsters one by one.
As the familiar sound of fighting came, Boromir also entered the combat readiness state at the first time, and the whole person became nervous.
"Let's go up!"
The captain of the company gave an order, and Boromir followed closely and climbed the Great Wall.
"Shoot!"
Naturally, he followed the defenders and shot down.
An excellent general can not only be a general, he can also be compatible with the lower level and become an excellent soldier who obeys orders and has strong mobility.
Boom!
Behind the scattered army, a violent white light flashed, and then another group of monsters flew up, and they were still burning with fire.
Boromir looked at the place where the movement came from and narrowed his eyes.
"It's Levi!"
He recognized the figure who almost single-handedly swept the enemy on the battlefield.
The man was wearing a gray-black armor with faintly dark red patterns, an old but neat linen cloak, holding a great sword that was almost as tall as a person, and blocking the rushing army with great momentum.
Behind Levi was a gray figure, and Boromir also knew this person. He was the gray-robed wanderer Gandalf.
He mainly played a supporting role on the side, using the sword Glamdring to clean up the small soldiers that fell. Occasionally, when he was too busy, he would use his cane to flash, but the frequency was very low, and he mainly used the sword to cut.
While thinking, suddenly a group of tall figures came running over with a bang.
"Is that... a troll?!"
"Be careful!"
Boromir shouted a warning, and to his surprise, even though it was far away and there was interference from the wind and snow, Levi seemed to have heard the shout, but he just waved his hand and rushed towards the trolls.
I don't know if it was an illusion caused by dizziness, but there seemed to be a star-shaped thing flashing on that hand.
Boom!
Soon, the ogres fell to the ground one after another, and none of them could survive the third sword.
This kind of power is terrifying.
Boromir thought to himself.
For that kind of ogres, even he needs to lead at least a five-man team to be sure to deal with it smoothly.
"The most powerful enemy I have ever faced is a war monster that is seven or eight meters high. At that time, I led a full thirty people to knock it down."
"It's already very good."
The captain of the company on the side responded to this.
"I have also seen the monster you mentioned. It is quite difficult to deal with it. It is difficult to cause effective damage to it with ordinary means."
"Being able to lead people to knock it down with only some ordinary weapons in a direct confrontation can also be called excellent in our place, worthy of a medal."
"It seems that you are not having an easy time."
Boromir looked at the rows of defenders on the city wall with strict military discipline and serious expressions, and some of his thoughts in his heart changed subtly.
