Chapter 479 Fortress and Undercurrent

Just after stepping into the huge gate of the fortress, Lei Xiao looked around and couldn't help taking a deep breath of the chilly air.

I saw that inside the gate was a vast and empty square space.

The surroundings of the spacious space are all surrounded by towering city walls, and there are many figures on it, looking condescending.

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

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

Lei Xiao carefully observed the rare scene around him, and nodded thoughtfully.

This unique design can undoubtedly greatly 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, a new round of bows and arrows and magic from all directions above their heads.

"In this case, if you drop the outer gate and trap a large number of enemies rushing in, it will be a real catch."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, thinking secretly in his heart.

"At present, the area of ​​the territory is limited, and it 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, and 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 urn city."

As Lei Xiao thought about it, he continued to move forward with the team.

Not long after, accompanied by a low and ear-splitting sound of metal friction, the second giant metal door slowly opened.

This time, what appeared in front of Lei Xiao was a huge and well-arranged 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 drumming can be heard endlessly.

The slightly scorching smell of forging, coupled with the freshly forged sharp weapons at the door, exudes a kind of awe-inspiring atmosphere unique to military camps.

After passing the blacksmith's shop area, and further ahead, there are neatly arranged army camps, almost endless at a glance.

These military camps are all built of stones, and there are also large and small training grounds, stables, priest healing centers, various warehouses, and even taverns and other facilities.

On the road, from time to time, heavily armed patrols could be seen, and pairs of sharp eyes patrolled the room, causing a sense of tension to rush towards them.

"This fortress is really extraordinary."

Surprised in his heart, Lei Xiao moved his dark eyes and finally fixed his eyes on the 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 from 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 the interior of the fortress castle to rest."

Ao Gu, the deputy general who was walking in the front, bowed to Ariel and said with a smile: "The villain can tell you and the two generals of the kingdom about the recent battle situation."

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 position of commander-in-chief of this and the other two fortresses before retreating."

"Understood, you can lead the way ahead."

Ariel nodded calmly and responded.

Then, Ariel first glanced back at the old and weak women and children behind her, and then said: "Lieutenant Aogu, these residents are poor people who have been baptized by war, we must treat them well, first let them live in peace and harmony. Rest here for a while, and then send someone to send them to the rear and settle them properly."

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

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

The soldier captain bowed to accept the order, and immediately led a group of soldiers to shout loudly, guiding the residents to the designated area to rest.

Seeing this scene, taking advantage of the chaos around, Lei Xiao immediately read a word 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 investigate secretly to prevent accidents from happening.

Currently, by Lei Xiao's side, apart from Chao Yan, Ye Cang, Bert, and Ju Bai who are on the bright side.

There are also two fifth-order powerhouses on the dark side, Hu Zhang and Hong Ye, who are standing by their sides closely, so 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 separate themselves 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 overly enthusiastic and contrived performance of the lieutenant Aogu, they are obviously extremely unusual.

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

Lei Xiao clearly understood that what he had to do was to find out the source of this undercurrent and completely block it.

Otherwise, once the worst happens, not only myself and Ariel beside me, but even the entire mountain fortress may be in danger of being overthrown at any time.

"Originally, I just planned to meet Bai Lao and observe the interior of the fortress, but judging from the current situation, things seem to be a bit complicated."

Lei Xiao, whose true face was hidden under the hood, frowned slightly, thinking about it while continuing to move forward.

After that, 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.

Looking up, I saw that this quaint castle with a decent scale is also heavily fortified, and between every archery tower and watchtower on it, you can see the figures of heavily armed soldiers.

"Huh?"

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

"what happened?"

Bert, who had been frowning all the time, had a serious expression, and immediately asked.

From his old face, one could see a hint of vigilance, obviously he had a lot of doubts about the current abnormalities.

"Senior Burt, a few years ago, I stayed in the Fortress of Mountain Fortress for a while."

I saw sharp orange-white star eyes, and while carefully observing everything around me, I said: "As far as I know, this castle located in the center of the fortress is covered with an efficient detection magic barrier, with Prevent the enemy from sneaking in."

Speaking of this, the orange-white expression became more serious: "And 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... "
