Chapter 478: Stronghold and Undertow

Just when he stepped into the huge gate of the fortress, Lei Xiao looked around and couldn't help but took a deep breath of the chilly air.

Inside the gate, there is a large space that is close to a square, wide and empty.

The surroundings of the spacious space are all surrounded by towering city walls, and the figures on it are looking down at this place from a high position.

As for the front, there is a new giant metal door.

"Is it the urn built inside the gate of the fortress?"

Carefully observing the rare scene in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

This unique design can undoubtedly further increase the defense capability of the fortress.

It is conceivable that even if the opponent breaks through the gate of the fortress, they rush straight into the inside of the fortress.

And what awaits them will undoubtedly be more violent, coming from bows and arrows and magic from all directions above their heads.

"Under such circumstances, if the outer gate is lowered and a large number of enemies rushing in are trapped in it, it will naturally be a real catch."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao thought to himself, "Currently, the area of the territory is limited, so it's not suitable to build this kind of city."

"However, after the lord's mansion continues to be upgraded and the population limit is further expanded, at that time, when the current territory is used as the inner city and the outer city continues to expand outward, it is a good choice to build the Wengcheng."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, the second giant metal door slowly opened with a low sound of metal friction.

This time, Lei Xiao, who stepped into the second door again, noticed it.

At this time, what appeared in front of him was a large and well-organized military camp.

On both sides of the road, there are blacksmith shops lined up in sequence.

For a while, the crisp sound of the hammer hitting the anvil, the sizzling sound of quenching, and the sound of the bellows agitating can be heard endlessly, and there is a unique awe-inspiring atmosphere in the military camp everywhere.

Further forward, there are stretches of stone barracks neatly arranged, almost endless at a glance.

Among them, there are also large and small training grounds, stables, magic healing centers for treating wounded soldiers, various warehouses, and even taverns and other facilities.

Moreover, in the fortress, from time to time, heavily armed patrols could be seen, patrolling the room with sharp eyes, causing a sense of tension to rush towards them.

Seeing this, Lei Xiao moved his pitch-black eyes, and finally set his gaze on a castle in the center of the fortress.

Needless to say, there is obviously the core of this fortress.

At the same time, the faces of the ordinary residents following the second half of the team showed expressions of uncontrollable excitement.

Soldiers of their own kingdom are everywhere here. For them who have been devastated by the war, this is undoubtedly the most reassuring thing during this period of time.

"His Royal Highness, please follow the villain directly to rest inside the fortress castle."

At this time, the deputy general Aogu who was walking in the front bowed slightly to Ariel again, and then said with a smile: "The villain just wants to report the recent battle situation with you and the two generals of the kingdom."

Speaking of this, Aogu's face showed a touch of complacency, and added: "After all, the old general Bai ordered the villain to take over the post of commander-in-chief of this and the other two fortresses before retreating."

Gu thumb

"Understood, you just lead the way." Hearing this, Ariel nodded slightly and responded.

Immediately afterwards, Ariel first looked back at the group of old and weak women and children behind her.

Then, he continued: "Vice General Aogu, these residents are poor people who have been baptized by war. You must treat them well, let them rest here for a while, and then send special personnel to send them to the rear for resettlement."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the villain will definitely do his best."

Hearing this, Aogu continued to smile, and then nodded to a soldier captain who was standing by.

On the other side, the soldier captain understood, and immediately led a group of Lengyan soldiers, and began to shout loudly, guiding the Lengyan residents to a designated area for rest.

Seeing this scene, taking advantage of the chaos around him, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then whispered a word to Nan Xing, who had been hiding in the dark, to follow closely.

And Nanyue went to other areas in the fortress to conduct secret investigations to prevent accidents.

Currently, besides Lei Xiao, there are only Zhao Yan and Ye Cang, Bert and Jubai who are on the bright side.

There are also two fifth-level powerhouses on the dark side, Hu Zhang and Hong Ye, who are standing by their sides at every step, so there is no need to worry about safety.

Having said that, the reason why Lei Xiao ordered Nan Xing Nanyue to split up his actions was to further verify what he had seen and heard along the way.

Needless to say, whether it is Bai Lao's unconventional behavior or the performance of the deputy general Ao Gu, it is obviously a bit unusual.

It is not difficult to see from this that although the mountain fortress is calm on the surface, there is a piercing undercurrent in the dark, which is about to move.

What Lei Xiao has to do, of course, is to find out the source of this undercurrent and completely block it.

Otherwise, once the worst happens, not only himself and Ariel beside him, but even the entire mountain fortress may be in danger of being overthrown.

"Originally, I just planned to meet Bai Lao and observe the interior of the fortress, but judging from the current situation, it is obviously a bit strange here."

At this time, Lei Xiao, whose face was hidden under the hood, frowned slightly, and continued to move forward while thinking about it.

Next, it didn't take long to be surrounded by Aogu and several teams of Lengyan soldiers.

Ariel, Burt, and Jubai were in front, and Lei Xiao, Ye Cang, and Chaoyan were behind, and they arrived at the gate of the fortress together.

Observe carefully ~ and you can see that this castle is also heavily fortified, and you can see heavily armed soldiers between every archery tower and watchtower on it.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Ju Bai's surprised voice suddenly rang out in the team.

"What happened?" Hearing the sound, Bert's expression froze, and he asked immediately.

At this time, from his old face, one can see a vague vigilance, obviously also a lot of doubts about the current abnormalities.

"A few years ago, I spent a period of time in the mountain fortress."

On the other side, Jubai continued to observe with sharp eyes, "I know that this castle located in the center of the fortress is covered with an efficient detection magic barrier to prevent enemies from sneaking in."

Speaking of this, the orange-white expression became more serious, and he said: "Now, the light of the magic tower of the castle is not there, which undoubtedly means that the detection magic barrier covering the castle has no effect. It's..."
