Chapter 414: Dawn Fortress

Three hours later.

The outline of a city appeared at the far end. Yelan slowly opened her eyes and woke up again from her nap.

drop--

Xia Manman remembered Ye Lan's words, whistled quickly, and then began to slow down.

Lieyang Zhen, who was anxious and uneasy, saw the outline of the city earlier. Once he got the prompt, he began to accelerate forward, overtaking from both sides of the off-road where Ye Lan was, and finally drove at the front of the convoy.

Compared with the majestic city walls like Glory City, the walls of Dawn Fortress are at most 3-5 meters in size, and they are all made of extremely solid mechanical structures.

That's pretty much it. After all, the combat power here is completely different from that of Glory City decades ago, and it is more than enough to deal with wandering aberrant creatures.

And if there is trouble caused by the Demon Scythe, you can get early warning and fight directly outside the city, or even end it with a few anomalies.

Looking at the appearance of the city and the outline of the deeper buildings, Ye Lan was thoughtful.

Everything else is normal. Compared to other cities, the atmosphere of God is stronger. For example, the architectural design has its own set of designs and details, and the clothing is mainly pure white and beige. Everything else is normal.

Only... Yelan felt a little strange for no reason.

"How come the outside of Dawn Fortress seems to be... covered with a golden shield surrounding the city?"

"Can you see it?" Xia Manman was stunned for a moment, but then it became clear: "Oh, that's normal. There are very few small gathering points that are common in the wasteland in the Yuguang Land, and they are basically city-level. Large gathering points, this is a defense that every one has.”

"..." Seeing that Xia Manman had finished talking and seemed to have no intention of continuing the interpretation, Ye Lan stopped talking.

It wasn't that Xia Manman didn't dare to tell her Yu Hui's secrets, agency settings, etc., but that she felt invincible, so she thought she knew everything, so when explaining something, she would instinctively omit the details and skip them.

Ye Lan asked the kitten.

"Can you see it?"

"I can sense a little meow." The psychic cat tried hard to sense: "It should be the defensive power exerted by 003, right? It is used to protect the city meow."

"I don't feel it clearly, Meow! Although 003's power is weaker than yours, Meow, it is still a high-level power, Meow. I can't see clearly Meow, but I guess the effect is similar to 005 Meow."

The psychic cat came to its final conclusion.

"The effect should be similar to 005 Meow! But I'm afraid its blocking ability and defense ability are more than ten times worse."

Ye Lan nodded slightly.

"If the effect in this area is average, it should have more attack capabilities and the third-person attack characteristics."

Finally approaching the city gate, Ye Lan looked into the distance and could already see the elite gatekeepers of the Sunset Cult in groups of four.

Although, the guards guarding the gate here are not of much significance. They are mainly responsible for registration and inspection, similar to the functions of security guards.

But... this also has a very important symbolic role.

Whose person is standing at the door, then this is the territory that is under his control.

"Manman, what do you say to those guarding the city?"

"How do you say what?"

"Do you recognize them? What team is this?"

"Ha, who else could it be?" Xia Manman just chuckled, then frowned:

"Penalty squad?"

Punishment squad?

Ye Lan is quite familiar with this organization. There are two largest combat organizations within the cult, one internal and one external. Xia Chengfei is the Archbishop of Judgment.

Of course, judging from Xia Manman's expression, the punishment team should not be the controller of this area.

"Who does it belong to normally?"

"Legion of the Dawn." Xia Manman said: "The Yuhui Cult has three war bishop positions, each of which commands the three fortresses of the Yuguang Cult and an independent legion. Among them, the Dawn Legion is responsible for the wasteland defense line, and the other two The fortresses are all at the end of civilization.”

Xia Manman frowned, showing that the situation seemed a bit puzzling to her.

"Furthermore, Dawn Fortress is in a special situation. Because this is an important hub for entering the wasteland, the Tribunal mainly conducts field work, and it is a necessary place for people coming and going. Over time, this is almost the second base camp."

"The legion is not suitable for wandering around the city all day long. After all, Dawn Fortress is also a large gathering point with many people living there. The Tribunal, which is often stationed here, has dispatched teams to deal with abnormal problems, and even assist in defense, and Bishop Dawn’s relationship is very good.”

She paused, her eyes flickering.

"I thought they were from the Legion of Dawn, because the three major legions are all autonomous. At the worst, they were from the Pope, and they controlled this place because of their strong wrists, but..."

"but?"

"But why are they from the punishment squad..."

Yelan paused for a moment, actually understanding it from an outsider's perspective.

"But have you ever considered the possibility that the Penal Tribunal is the Pope's people?"

Xia Manman was slightly shocked.

It's not that she hasn't thought about it, she just doesn't want to think in that direction.

"My brother said that he has a very good relationship with the Archbishop of Punishment, and the other party still owes him a favor..."

Yelan said nothing.

The penal tribunal itself is a violent institution that acts internally, and in his view, it is a regulatory agency.

So who should be regulated?

Tribunal, three major fortresses.

The religious forces first obey the oracle of the Lord God. If there is no oracle, if anyone can command the Penal Court, it must be the Pope, not the Tribunal.

Xia Manman's fantasy was shattered, and she gradually stiffened, and then cursed.

"So he... I understand, this bastard! This traitor!"

Xia Manman gritted her teeth.

"Your speculation is correct, but the process is definitely different. It is true that the core relationship between the Punishment Court and the Tribunal is in opposition, but this generation is different. My brother and him have a really good relationship on the surface, and the Archbishop of Punishment does not like this generation of Pope very much."

"In this case, my brother can't afford to be severely injured. The Pope attacks our Xia family, and the old man retires... The only sister who still has some prestige is isolated and helpless, and she can't control the Tribunal. In this case, she will definitely ask my brother's friends for help."

"If the Archbishop of Punishment cooperates on the surface, participates in and arranges the counterattack plan, and then stabs back when everything is ready..."

Xia Manman gritted her teeth:

"Only this explanation and this situation can explain why my sister was directly killed in the temple!"

Ye Lan was silent for a while.

All I can say is that if this conjecture is true, Xia Qingyu's chance of survival will be infinitely smaller.

"Who is it!"

Thousands of people rushed over, and the punishment team was extremely vigilant and picked up their weapons at once.

"Stop!"

Ye Lan frowned.

The first unexpected thing happened. These members of the punishment team obviously had no experience in such an occasion. Their experience in dealing with such a situation was shocking, which made Ye Lan a little worried whether they would take action directly!
