Chapter 464, Abnormality in Harvest City

Just when Christian was planning the attack on the third line of defense.

At this moment.

In the war fortress in the south.

Aria arrived here with the guardian knight.

"Brainy."

"Is there anything going on here?"

Aria asked.

Brainy shook his head.

"It's strange."

"Whether it's Harvest City or the capital, there is no reaction to the attack on the northern defense line."

"They don't seem to care about this area being attacked at all."

"Your Excellency the Lord said before that these places are one."

"But now it seems that this is not the case."

Question to Brainy.

Aria said after thinking for a while.

"It's not clear yet."

"According to normal inference, they should form a strategic support between the northern defense line."

"But in this era of great destruction, we can no longer use normal logic to analyze things."

"But even if they don't attack, we can't let our guard down."

"I plan to take some knights out of the city for reconnaissance."

"Because this time, the lord gave me a task."

"Ask me to escort a team of wind runners to the Silver Wolf Mountains and find the path to the Harvest Plains."

Brainy said immediately after hearing it.

"It's just right, you lead the team to go out for reconnaissance."

"See if there are really no reinforcements in the direction of Harvest City and the capital."

"Or they have reinforcements, but they are just lying in ambush outside, waiting for the opportunity to attack us."

"I originally wanted to do this, but I don't have a demon knight."

"So I dare not rashly go out of the city for reconnaissance."

Aria nodded.

"Leave it to me."

While the two were talking.

The Windrunner Hunter Team assigned by Fang Yuan came to the military fortress.

"Sir, the Lord asked us to accept your command."

Aria nodded.

"I have discussed this with Brennie."

"This time, in addition to escorting you, we also have the task of scouting the enemy."

"Let's set off now without further delay."

"Yes, sir."

"Da Da Da~"

A thousand cavalrymen led by Aria shuttled on the hard earth road.

Because of the power of the fog.

Even after so long, the roads built in the Old World era have not disappeared.

Even on both sides of the road, abandoned luggage and carriages can be seen.

"Sir, these carriages don't look like items from the Glory Era."

"They look more like they are from the racial war period."

Aria shook her head.

"Not necessarily."

"The Glory Calendar spans too long."

"The real morale change came after the popularization of the magic industry."

"Before that, except for the Middle-earth near the City of the God of Magic."

"Many of the carriages used in the outer areas are still the same as during the racial war."

"Besides!"

"After the invasion of the fog, time and space have been distorted to a certain extent."

"The items you see now may also have been teleported here by the distorted space."

Aria drove the warhorse forward while looking around.

When they marched, they used the supplies given by Fang Yuan to dispel the fog.

These things are similar to a big torch.

It is an invention of the professionals of Blue Star.

Although it looks primitive, it is economical and affordable.

One torch costs less than 10,000 gold coins.

It can be used for one day.

You need to enter the Adventurer's Hall and complete the task before you can buy it.

However, many lords make money by reselling this kind of torch.

The Adventurer's Hall sells it for 10,000.

If they take it out, they can make ten times more.

This kind of torch is suitable for marching.

The quantity used is relatively large.

So the sales volume among the lords is also very good.

Fang Yuan bought it at a high price before, specifically for the march of the legion.

Later, when Fang Yuan became a high-level adventurer.

He went directly to the adventurer hall to buy it.

And he bought 100,000 at a time.

It was specially equipped for the subordinate legion.

With this torch that dispels the fog.

They marched and fought in the foggy area, and they didn't need to worry about being eroded by the fog.

In Aria's legion, thousands of torches were brought at a time.

Enough to support their march for a whole year.

At this time.

Under the illumination of the torch.

On the hard dirt road, their slightly lonely figures were reflected.

In the era of the Great Destruction, they may be the only living people who have appeared here so far.

Because this road leading to the Silver Wolf Mountains, even in the old world era, few people would come here.

In addition to being remote, there are no towns here.

It is basically wilderness, and from time to time there are attacks by monsters.

And not long after Aria's legion marched.

News came from the front.

"Sir."

"There are monsters blocking the road."

"It's a group of bear goblins."

"Should we kill them?"

Aria rode forward and confirmed that there were no other monsters except this group of bear goblins.

He nodded immediately.

"Kill them."

The guardian knights who received the order charged directly.

However, the knights of more than a hundred people killed all the bear goblins blocking the road.

Then the legion continued to move forward and did not encounter any monsters on the way.

Soon.

The legion led by Aria appeared at a fork in the road.

"To the left is the Harvest City. To the right is a small path. If you keep going inside, you can pass through the Silver Wolf Mountains and enter the Harvest Plains."

"My mission is to bring you here. You have to walk the rest of the way by yourself."

Aria said to the Windrunner Hunters around him.

The Windrunner Hunter Centurion bowed slightly.

"Thank you, sir."

"Leave it to us next."

Aria nodded, and at the same time thought of something.

Then he said quickly.

"In addition to the silver wolf in the Silver Wolf Mountains, there is also a kind of monster called the road demon."

"This kind of monster likes to hide on the road and suddenly attack when someone passes by."

"The behavior is very strange. In the old world era, it seems to be an invading creature from other planes."

"You have to be careful."

"Thank you for your reminder, sir. We will be careful."

Then, Aria watched the figure of the Windrunner team disappear at the end of the road.

Then he turned to his subordinates and said.

"The escort mission is complete. Next, we should investigate Harvest City."

"Order the cavalry to speed up the march to Harvest City."

Harvest City is the city that controls the entrance to Harvest Plains.

After the founding of the Kingdom of Gondor.

The grain produced in Harvest Plains is enough to supply the entire kingdom.

It is a famous grain producing area.

It is also the direct territory of the Gondor royal family.

It can be said that it is because of Harvest Plains that the Gondor royal family can sit on the throne.

Therefore, in order to protect their direct territory, the royal family built Harvest City.

At the same time, a large number of legions were stationed in it.

It is rumored that a mage legion was raised here at a high price.

And when Aria appeared outside the Harvest Plains with the Guardian Knight.

But he saw that the whole city was shrouded in a black fog.

"Sir, why do these black fogs look so much like the power of evil gods."

Aria said as he looked at the black fog in Harvest City.

"It's either an elephant or the power of the evil god."

"I've read in the family's secret book that there are rumors that the Gondor royal family was actually the bishop of the Harvest Goddess during the Middle-earth period."

"Their worship of the Harvest Goddess continued until the Glory Calendar."

"It was just a secret worship before."

"Later, the Harvest City was built, and the worship was openly performed on the territory."

Someone asked immediately.

"Don't the gods of the Old World care?"

Aria shook her head.

"Because of the suppression of the wizard, even if the gods declare the sub-gods to be evil gods."

"But they are not allowed to interfere with what gods the people want to believe in."

"Especially in the small marginal countries, no one cares whether you believe in evil gods or good gods."

"Anyway, the gods on the ring throne don't need your faith."

"Middle-earth is where they spread their faith."

"So in the Old World era, there were still many small countries that worshipped evil gods."

"And Gondor is one of them."

"But by the time of the Cataclysm, the evil gods should have fallen."

"Now is the era of the Great Destruction, how can the power of evil gods appear?"

Looking at the Harvest City surrounded by black fog, Aria fell into confusion.

At this time, a knight asked.

"Should we get close to investigate?"

Aria shook her head.

"No."

"The power of the evil gods is very strange."

"Don't go forward."

At the same time, he said.

"Since the power of the evil god has appeared here."

"Then is it possible that the power of the evil god has also appeared in the capital of Gondor?"

"Come here, take 100 guardian knights and quickly go south to investigate the capital of Gondor."

"After getting the news, return to the fortress and report immediately."

"Yes, sir."

After arranging the investigation of the capital.

Aria left 10 more knights to watch over Harvest City.

She returned to the military fortress with the remaining knights.

In the military fortress.

When Aria returned and told Brenni about her investigation of Harvest City.

She showed a little surprise on her face.

"Aria, the situation in Gondor is getting complicated."

"After the neutral forces here revived, the evil god also woke up."

"This is a serious matter. I think we should notify the lord immediately."

Aria nodded.

"I think so too."

"The evil gods originally belonged to the civilization of the Old World."

"They are not completely dead. This is very strange."

"If the evil gods are allowed to revive in Gondor, I am afraid that the follow-up will bring unpredictable dangers to the lord."

"This time when I go back, in addition to telling the lord about this."

"I also want to persuade the lord that once the war in the north is over, he must immediately concentrate his forces to go south."

"Attack the Harvest City where the evil gods have revived."

"No matter what conspiracy is behind it, it must be eliminated in its infancy."

Brainy showed a look of approval.

"That's what we should do."

"You return to the Wasteland Territory first."

"Leave this to me. The lord has just sent thousands of demon knights, guardian knights and some auxiliary legions."

"With these legions here, I am confident that I can completely defend this territory."

Aria nodded and said nothing more.

He led his men back to the Wasteland Territory directly.
