"Huh~ Should we take a break? The road is getting harder and harder."

A chosen one holding two swords stepped on the wizened head of the rotten corpse with his boots, pulled out the long sword, and wiped away the blood on the sword body with the rotten corpse's face.
Looking around, there were only crowded corpse heads and a twisted and disgusting world like an insect nest.
"You haven't encountered the demon-type rotting corpse before, so just have fun, Naomi."
The man carrying the giant sword stood on the ground with the battle flag in his hand: "In this land abandoned by the gods, countless people of the empire have died. Now they have all turned into carrion. We only encountered some trash fish."
"Lord Lance, do you think there is really a gathering place for living people in the Night Territory? I don't think it is possible."
Naomi shook her head repeatedly: "If there is news about a living person in the night, it is probably the boast of a drunkard."
"No matter what, our mission is to investigate. As for the conclusion, it is up to Her Majesty the Queen to decide." Lance raised his hand, "Holy Light Technique!"
The strong holy light burned all the seven or eight carrion corpses that came up to ashes.
In fact, Lance didn't want to visit the Night Lord either.
The Rotten Lands are full of danger. Even if the Ross family did operate here, it would be nothing more than a shabby refugee gathering place. Who would be there but the hapless and grumbling soldiers? I'm afraid I have to contribute some gold coins.
What's worse is that after I asked the Ross family, they didn't even know if there was a city in the Night Territory.
Because they didn't give Field any support.
Absolutely ridiculous!
Lance shook his head, dumbfounded: "Goddess of War, please grant me sobriety."
"Boom~"
The chosen one next to him smiled and flicked his forehead with his finger.
"Are you awake now?" Portia kept laughing.
"Of course, you can't stay awake if you are sober. After all, this is hell. If you don't stay awake, you will be attacked and die."
Lance shook his head helplessly and continued to move forward. However, after taking three or four steps, he found that the fog was getting lighter and lighter.
After a while, there was no gray fog ahead.
There was an outpost in the distance. It seemed to be a stone outpost, standing tall. A dozen soldiers, with the help of a giant spider, were moving an adult-sized iron cylinder onto the outpost.
This scene almost made Lance faint.
Outpost, spider, iron cylinder? What is this?
Under the outpost, there is a stone wall surrounding it, and there is a vegetable patch around it!
"It's broken. We may have been under an illusion. There is a human outpost in the gray mist."
Lance looked serious: "Although this is against the spirit of chivalry, we should retreat immediately."
"Retreat for what? Isn't this what we are looking for?"
Naomi waved her hand in surprise: "There is really no gray fog around. Oh my God, there really is a human gathering place in the Night Territory, and it is not small."
Everyone was surprised and shocked. No one would have thought that the Night Leader, who had been dead for more than ten years, would look like this.
"Be careful, there is a troop of cavalry coming."
Hearing the low horn blowing from the outpost, not long after, twenty or thirty cavalrymen arrived from a distance.
"Hey, relax guys, we're not trying to be hostile."
Lance waved the gryphon flag vigorously and shouted at the same time: "We are the men of Her Majesty the Queen."
A cavalryman also rode up with the griffin flag and the night leader flag: "Certificate."
After showing the royal warrant, the cavalrymen, who had already been secretly informed by Field, decisively let them go.
"This is...Night Collar."
Everyone stepped onto the renovated cement road and immediately felt the difference.
On both sides of the road, farmers are busy cultivating everywhere. Large tracts of farmland are planned extremely strictly. They are unusual territories and are planted in a haphazard manner.
Portia marveled: “Endless farmland.”
"What's this?"
Naomi disagreed: "You have never seen our White Swan family's manor. There are endless purple rose potions. You have to go to both ends to reach the end on horseback."
"All right."
Lance and Portia looked at each other and shrugged.
"Pay more attention to military buildings." Naomi emphasized, "Our key task is to understand whether Field has betrayed the empire or humanity."
After paying attention like this, everyone became less calm.
There are all small outposts and fortresses along the way, and there is even a strange, angular giant fortress under construction in everyone's sight. The entire Night Territory is simply a fortress within a fortress, full of passes, fortresses and outposts.
Fortunately, there is no charge at the pass, otherwise the cash that everyone carries with them may not be enough.
"What is that? Why was the fortress built like this?"
"Who knows, maybe it's because northerners have different aesthetic styles."
No one knows the bastion.
"The wealth of this baron is probably far beyond that of a normal baron." Portia exclaimed, "Look at the stone road under our feet. It has no end. It must be connected to the city."
"It shouldn't be possible. No matter how rich you are, you won't waste gold coins in the ground." Naomi blinked twice.
Lance scratched his head.
However, what happened was beyond their expectation. They all arrived at the outskirts of Starry Night City, where the stone road had no end.
Instead, it became wider and wider, with four lanes.
"It seems that Baron Field is richer than a normal baron." Naomi frowned slightly, took out a small notebook and wrote it down, "I remember that Baron Field didn't pay a single gold coin in taxes."
"He paid war taxes." An attendant reminded.
"That's another matter."
When they arrived at the city gate, they saw the magnificent Starry Night City and Wind Rising City, as well as Field at the city gate.
"Good day, ladies and gentlemen." Field smiled and drove forward, asking leisurely, "Guests from the capital of the empire, welcome."
"Greetings, Baron Field."
Lance also drove forward and performed a standard noble salute: "I am Lance, an envoy of Her Majesty the Queen, and I am here to visit and comfort you."
"Yes, this place surprised me so much. You actually opened up the Night Territory, which is a major event that can be recorded in history!" Portia was already shocked by the magnificent twin cities.
Although there were rumors of cities in the gray fog, everyone thought it was a legend.
I didn't expect it to be real, and the scale was terrifying.
Even the picky Naomi widened her eyes and looked at the soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city wall.
"Two strong cities, and large and small fortresses guarding the cities." Naomi quickly wrote it down.
"If you want to enter the city, please accept the inspection and register again."
"Although it is a bit rude, this is a city in the corrupt land after all. If you are not careful, you will be attacked by monsters."
Field was also very moved. The Night Territory is not conservative. As long as you follow the normal steps, people can move freely. It's a pity that no outsiders dare to come.
"No problem, I also brought you a gift."
Lance jumped off the horse, walked to the carriage behind him, and carried a box himself.
