Chapter 479 Fortress and Undercurrent
As soon as he stepped into the giant gate of the fortress, Lei Xiao looked around and couldn't help but take a deep breath of the chilly air.
Inside the gate, there is a vast and empty square space.
The spacious space is surrounded by towering walls, with longing figures on them, looking condescending.
As for the front, a new giant metal door appeared.
"A urn built inside the fortress gate?"
Lei Xiao carefully observed the rare scene around him and nodded thoughtfully.
This unique design can undoubtedly greatly increase the defense capabilities of the fortress.
It is conceivable that even if the opponent breaks through the fortress gate and rushes straight into the interior of the fortress.
What awaits them will undoubtedly be more fierce, a new round of bows and arrows and magic coming from all directions above their heads.
"In this case, if the outer gate is dropped again and a large number of enemies rush in, it will be a real trap."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and thought to himself.
“Currently, the territory’s limited area is not suitable for building this kind of urn city.”
"However, after the lord's mansion continues to be upgraded and the population limit is further expanded, using the current territory as the inner city and continuing to expand the outer city outwards, it would be a good choice to build a barbican city."
Lei Xiao thought as he continued to move forward with the team.
Not long after, with a low and deafening sound of metal friction, the second giant metal door slowly opened.
What appeared in front of Lei Xiao this time was a huge and well-organized military camp.
I saw blacksmith shops lined up on both sides of the road.
For a while, the crisp sound of the hammer hitting the anvil, the sizzling sound of quenching, and the beating of the wind box were heard.
The slightly scorching smell of forging, coupled with the freshly forged sharp weapons at the door, made the place exude a solemn air unique to the military camp.
After passing the blacksmith shop area, and further forward, there are military camps arranged neatly, almost endless as far as the eye can see.
These military camps are all made of stones, and there are various facilities such as training grounds, stables, priests' healing centers, various warehouses, and even taverns.
On the road, you can sometimes see the figures of heavily armed patrols, and a pair of sharp eyes patrolling, causing a tense atmosphere to hit your face.
"This fortress is truly extraordinary."
While feeling amazed in his heart, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved and finally fixed his gaze on the castle in the center of the fortress.
Needless to say, that is obviously the core of the fortress.
At the same time, the faces of the ordinary residents following the second half of the team showed expressions of uncontrollable excitement.
Soldiers from their own kingdom are everywhere here. For them who have been devastated by war, this is undoubtedly the most reassuring thing during this time.
"Your Royal Highness, please follow the villain directly to the interior of the fortress castle to rest."
Lieutenant General Augu, who was walking at the front, bowed to Ariel and said with a smile: "I might as well tell you and the two kingdom generals about the recent battle situation."
< br>
Having said this, a hint of pride appeared on Ogu's face, and he added: "After all, before going into seclusion, General Bai had ordered the villain to take over the overall command of this place and the other two fortresses."
"I know, you can just lead the way."
Ariel nodded calmly and responded.
Then, Ariel first looked back at the old, weak, women and children behind her, and then continued: "Vice-General Ogu, these residents are poor people who have been baptized by war. You must treat them well and let them live in peace first. Rest here for a while, and then send someone to send them to the rear for proper placement.”
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the villain will do his best."
Ogu continued to smile, and then nodded to a soldier captain on standby beside him.
The soldier captain bowed to accept the order, and immediately led a group of soldiers to start shouting and directing the residents to the designated area to rest.
Seeing this scene, taking advantage of the chaos around him, Lei Xiao immediately spoke and softly ordered Nan Xing, who had been hiding in the dark, to follow closely.
Nanyue, on the other hand, went to other areas in the fortress to conduct secret investigations to prevent unexpected events.
Currently, beside Lei Xiao, except for Chao Yan, Ye Cang, Bert, and Ju Bai on the bright side.
There are also two fifth-level powerhouses on the dark side, Huzhang and Hongye, who are guarding him every step of the way. There is no need to worry about any safety issues.
Having said that, the reason why Lei Xiao ordered Nan Xing and Nan Yue to start operations separately was to further verify what he had seen and heard along the way.
Needless to say, whether it was Bai Lao's unconventional behavior or the deputy general Ogu's overly enthusiastic and pretentious performance, it was obviously extremely unusual.
From this, it is not difficult to see that although this seemingly indestructible mountain fortress is calm on the surface, there is a biting undercurrent in the secret that is ready to move.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that what he had to do was to find the source of this undercurrent and completely block it.
Otherwise, if the worst happens, not only himself and Ariel beside him, but also the entire mountain fortress may be in danger of being overturned at any time.
"Originally, I just planned to meet Mr. Bai and observe the inside of the fortress, but judging from the current situation, things seem to be a bit complicated."
Lei Xiao, whose true face was hidden under his hood, frowned slightly, thinking this while continuing to move forward.
After that, it didn't take long for him to be surrounded by Ogu and several groups of cold flame soldiers.
Ariel, Bert, and Ju Bai were in front, and Lei Xiao, Ye Cang, and Chao Yan were behind. They arrived at the gate of the fortress castle together.
Looking up, I saw that this ancient and splendid castle was also heavily fortified. Armed soldiers could be seen between every arrow tower and observation tower.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Ju Bai's surprised voice suddenly sounded in the team.
"What happened?"
Bert, who had been frowning, looked stern and asked immediately.
From his old face, you can see a vague warning look, which is obviously a lot of suspicion about the current abnormalities.
"Senior Bert, a few years ago, I spent some time in the Mountain Castle Fortress."
I saw sharp orange-white starry eyes. While carefully observing everything around me, he said: "As far as I know, this castle located at the center of the fortress is covered with an efficient detection magic barrier. Prevent enemies from sneaking in. ”
At this point, Orange's expression became more serious: "And now, the light from the castle's magic tower is no longer there, which undoubtedly means that the detection magic barrier covering the castle has failed... "(End of Chapter)
