Fang Yu was about to answer, but then there was a knock on the door outside.

Luo Yu's voice came from outside the door: "Captain, we're at Yujin Castle, but there's something wrong and they won't let us pass."

Fang Plover was slightly startled.

Turtle Castle is just a pass in the south of the Great Valley region. The Dulon City Guards stationed here are not guarding against humans, but the winter wolves and undead in the northern forest.

However, since there have been no major incidents in recent years, and the imaginary winter wolves and undead have never gone south, the size of the garrison here has become smaller and smaller. In the end, there is only a small team of more than ten people, and an old man.

The Knight Commander is stationed here.

And since most of the caravans from the north have to pass through this place, Fang Plover has also inquired about this place before, and has never heard that the garrison would be embarrassed by the merchants traveling there. At best, they would only ask for a little bribe and tolls.

This little money should be nothing to their team, right?

Moreover, it is usually Tianlan and Miss Attila who deal with this kind of matter. Both of them are very reliable in negotiations, so there should be no problems. He turned around and thought that the other party was also a branch of the Dulon City Guards.

Then he whispered to Sylvester beside him:

"Put away the armor first, let's go out and take a look."

The ship officer lady nodded slightly.

…

Returning to the deck, Fang Plover took a look under the platform and realized that the situation was more troublesome than he thought.

He heard that there was only a small group of soldiers stationed here, plus an old knight, but the old, weak, sick, and disabled in his impression disappeared at first glance. There was only a small group of people who stopped Mr. Gray Rock, but he was not far away.

There were more than a dozen people patrolling under the castle.

And there are also cavalry——

He saw two heavy cavalry in horse and horse gear, carrying a spear on their backs, looking at them warily on the mountain road - the magic armor equipped by these heavy knights, and the chain spear that could shoot, could

It is said that it is the standard equipment of Kaolin-Ithurian heavy cavalry.

This is obviously a regular army.

what happened?

Fang Yu was slightly startled when he saw this scene.

Other news is true. The Yujin Castle not far away is actually just a small fortress. The battlements are not high, and even a little low - the size is far smaller than the Aimao Castle they have seen. There is a barracks inside.

The building probably also served as the residence and office of the old knight.

The castle stands on the mountainside, blocking the mountain road. Below is a mountain stream that is not deep, but it is not easy to directly pass through. Moreover, if you really pass through, you will probably not have to go to Du Lun behind.

But there were so many soldiers, looking serious. Could something have happened in the Great Northern Valley?

But they didn't find anything unusual all the way south?

Tian Lan was climbing up from the rope ladder complaining. Fang Plover saw her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know," Tianlan shook her head: "They said the road was closed and we were not allowed to pass, but they didn't tell us the reason."

"Is the road closed?" Fang Yu thought to himself, how could the road be closed for no reason? Even if it was due to a snowstorm, it would not be the case that so many additional troops would be suddenly sent to this small fortress.

"Those greedy guys," Parker said loudly as he hung on the side of the ship, "I guess it must be because of the money."

"Don't come here," Tianlan gave the Papalar man a white look: "They don't want money at all——"

"Where's Miss Aitila?" Fang Pliong asked again.

"Down below," Tian Lan replied, "She wants to try to see if she can convince the other party."

Fang Yu lowered his head and looked down, only to find the elf girl among the city guards. The latter seemed to be negotiating something with the other party, but the soldiers were obviously impatient and were pointing their spears at Mr. Gray Rock.

He seemed determined to let them leave.

Fang Yu frowned, obviously feeling strong hostility from these soldiers. This is strange. It is normal for the two warring parties to be hostile, but why are these soldiers hostile to them?

Attila seemed to feel this as well. She could only sigh when she saw this, and walked back and climbed up the rope ladder.

"What's wrong?" At this time, Sylvide and Sophie also walked out from behind. Seeing this scene, the latter couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Fang Yu was reaching out to pull Miss Elf up from below. Atila let out a breath and said to the others: "I'm not sure, but we are not the only ones who are stopped here, there are some caravans and adventurers.

Also stopped in front."

"They don't seem to allow anyone coming from the north to pass."

"How can it be?"

"Then what should we do?" Box asked.

"Perhaps we can take a detour," Sophie thought for a moment: "I know a path that can pass through the south of the Great Valley, but if you want to go to the Ash Mountain Forest, you have to take some detours."

But Etila shook her head. "If Miss Sophie also knows this road, the locals will know better. What if there are also troops stationed there?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Tian Lan glanced down, frowned and said, "How about we leave this place first?"

Her proposal was unanimously agreed to. Although she didn't know where the hostility of the soldiers below came from, continuing to stay in this place did not give people a sense of security.

Just when Atila was about to go down again and ask Mr. Huiyan to turn around, the big cat man behind everyone suddenly let out a light sigh.

It was the tallest, so it could naturally see clearly. However, before the big cat man had time to speak, Baggins, who was in charge of the lookout in front, had already turned around and said to them: "Someone is coming."

After hearing this, Fang Yu walked to the side of the ship and looked outside, only to find that a man dressed as a secretary separated from the soldiers and walked towards this side.

The other party walked under the platform, raised his head and asked: "Are you going to Du Lun?"

Everyone was slightly startled and looked at Fang Plover subconsciously.

Fang Yu pondered for a moment and then nodded - he thought that after passing the Tulip Castle, the only destination was Du Lun. The team arriving at this place would of course go to Du Lun.

I don't know what the other person means by asking this question.

Unexpectedly, the secretary shouted: "It's not impossible for you to pass this place, but our commander wants to see you -"
