形上一眼就可以看出来，是凯尔特人招牌式的风格。
木屋的四周依稀还可以看出曾经有着一圈高大坚实的土墙，然而，现在就只剩下颓垣断壁，而建筑本身也已是残破不堪。
显然，这里是一处曾经属于凯尔特人的移民点，或许是因为头皮可以换钱的原因，让它的前主人永远离开了这里。总之，失去了养护之后的庄园在长久时间的风吹雨蚀下渐渐沦为废墟，再也看不到昔日的光彩。
不过，这些尚未彻底被草毯覆盖的废墟依旧发挥着余热，若是天气骤变，至少来往途经此地的佣兵和走私客可以有一个免费的遮风避雨的临时宿处。
不过此刻，躲在这片废墟内却显然不是佣兵和走私客，而是一支大约只有两三百人的军队。尽管这只是一支士气尽丧、丢盔卸甲、从格拉摩根战场狼狈逃来的溃军，但从那面歪歪斜斜搭在木屋旁，残破旗帜上的蓝底白交叉图案，可以很轻易地分辨出，这绝非一支普通的军队。
这当然不是一支普通的军队，这是高地王国仿长生军，巅峰时期的满额编制是三万人！然而这里却只剩下了两三百人，而且还大多负伤！
格拉摩根一战，谁也没有想到最终会是这样一个峰回路转的凄惨结局。
凯尔特总督府大战之后的扫荡作战犀利异常，数支精锐的卫所军团四散分开，紧紧追在狼奔豸突、丢盔卸甲的溃军身后。
将沿途所有落队并且顽强抵抗的高地军团屠戮一空，血流成河，大量丧失意志的被总督府俘虏，整个高地王国的精锐几乎被连根拔起，元气大伤。
而这其中，位列总督府黑名单中前茅的仿长生军更是受到了受到了重点‘照顾’。
总督府方面专门派遣妮可、克拉克、莉迪雅三名天灾骑士追剿溃军，摧毁仿长生军的所有抵抗的。
面对如狼似虎的天灾骑士，师丧援绝的仿长生军终于在绝望和哀泣中品尝到了国王替他们种下的苦果，整个军团几乎被全部扫灭。
亚雷没有给这些对卫所军造成了巨大伤害的凶手任何怜悯和同情。
“投降或者死亡！”
卫所军的士兵高呼着这样的口号，将所有视线中的所有试图反抗的敌人尽数杀死，凯尔特人堆积如山的头颅成了帝国祭奠战死英魂的最好祭品。
在堵住长城之后，绝大多数进退两难的高地军团残部终于放弃了幻想，与总督府签订合约，加入了复辟潘多拉贡王朝的军团。
而残留在人迹罕至荒野中的溃军，也在鹰身女妖们全天候的追杀中日益憔悴，那些丑陋的魔怪视力惊人，哪怕他们躲藏在原始森林里，依然会被轻易发现。
一路逃窜，他们偶然的找到了这栋木屋，暂时安定了下来。
木屋内，一群身着黑色铠甲、怀抱头盔的凯尔特人正神情痛苦地单膝蹲坐在地板上，他们每个人都是浑身浴血，征尘满面，铠甲上布满了武器劈砍出的裂痕和硝烟熏染的痕迹。
此时此刻，这些战士的眼睛都是灰白一片，瞳孔没有任何的焦距存在，仿佛都在看着虚空的某一点出神。
而更令人觉得可怕的是，这些人脸上完全没有表情，那不是冷漠的表现，而是一种失去了所有生气后的肌肉僵硬！
那是绝望和痛苦交织折磨出的面孔！
“我不想待在这里了……我想要回家……”蓦地，一名高地士兵抱住脑袋，发出了懦弱的抽泣声。
“不会的，罗赛维亚人不会轻易放过我们……他们堵住了哈德良长城，我们没有船，哪儿也去不了。”他话音刚落，身后的一名士兵摇了摇头，以一种近乎脱力的声音说道。
“我想……我们做的已经够多了……为了华莱士陛下的一己之私，我们死了这么多人，难道还不够么？”其中一人似乎是生出了投降的想法。
“闭嘴！我们决不投降！”
“我们为什么不能投降？给谁卖命还不都是卖命？”
商议未果的情况下，很快，屋室内的众人陷入了无休止的争吵之中，谁也无法说服其他人，或是给出两全其美的逃生方法。（。）

第八十五章 暗流涌动（）
哈德良长城，临时行营内。
高地王国的大敌、凯尔特总督府的独裁者，正一脸肃穆地站在精心绘制的军用地图边，凝神看着地图，手指随着意识的走动不断在细腻的羊皮上划过一个个标识，内心忧心忡忡。
