Chapter 423: The Night Walkers (1)
Tochka.
A citadel located on a high plateau in the Rocks Mountains of the Northern Continent.
Its high, solid walls, deep moat, and towering cliffs surrounding it made it a natural fortress.
However.
This fortress, which was said to be able to fend off a hundred soldiers by one girl, was now a deserted, ownerless mountain.
No wonder, another name for Tochka, the strongest fortress, is , the 'Crying Castle'.
The name, which means "beheaded while crying" comes from an ancient story of a general in the Warring States Period who was defeated by the enemy army while sitting-in in the fortress here.
The young and talented general, trusting only in his own skills and military theories, waged a siege in this natural fortress, but the result was a disastrous defeat.
Fortress Tochka was a massive fortress with impregnable defenses, but it had only one drawback: it was located on a plateau filled with rocks in the dry climate of the northern highlands, and there was no water nearby for drinking.
Because of the general who suffered from hunger due to lack of water and opened the gate and escaped, the country eventually entered the path of destruction.
Therefore, the king had no choice but to behead his favorite general according to military law, and the nickname 'Crying Castle' was given because the king swung his sword with tears in his eyes.
