The viscount and his escort finally reached the fortress that defended the pass towards the mountain regions where the humans mined.
As the region was divided between orcs, humans, and a kingdom of mixed demi-humans, each region had a fortress.
While it was possible to scale the mountain and go into the region, only small forces numbering a dozen or so could move without getting detected. There were scouts, patrols, and camps all over the mountain region that ensured no orc or demi-human spy could infiltrate and steal tons of ores harvested.
The squad of men, led by a Viscount noble, finally reached the entrance of the fortress.
"Presenting! Viscount Gradier Conquistar, Spear Master of Jericho Kingdom!" A soldier announced as the group entered.
"A powerful Viscount? What's he doing here?" One of the soldiers murmured.
