Chapter 478： Strongholds and Undercurrents

Just after entering the giant gate of the fortress, Lei Xiao looked around and couldn't help but take a deep breath of air.

I saw that inside the gate, it was a large space that was close to a square, vast and empty.

The surrounding area of ​​the spacious space is surrounded by towering city walls, and the figures on it are looking down and looking down.

As for the front, a new giant metal door appeared.

"Is it an urn city set up inside the gate of the fortress?"

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

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

It is conceivable that even if the opponent broke through the gate of the fortress, he rushed straight into the interior of the fortress.

What awaits them will undoubtedly be even more violent, a new round of bows and arrows and magic from all directions above their heads.

"In this case, if you drop the gate on the outside and trap a large number of enemies rushing in, you will naturally be caught in a real urn."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao thought to himself in his heart: "Currently, the area of ​​the territory is limited, so it is not suitable to build this kind of urn city."

"However, after the lord's mansion continues to be upgraded and the population cap is further expanded, then, when the current territory is used as the inner city and the outer city continues to expand outward, it would be a good choice to build an urn city."

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

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

At this time, what appeared in front of him was a large military camp that was scattered.

I saw that on both sides of the road, there were a series of blacksmith shops.

For a time, the crisp sound of the hammer hitting the anvil, the sizzling sound of quenching, and the beating sound of the wind box were incessant.

Mixed with a slightly anxious forging smell, there is a kind of solemnity unique to the military camp everywhere.

Further forward, there are neatly arranged stony barracks, almost endless at a glance.

Among them, there are also large and small training grounds, stables, magic healing places to treat wounded soldiers, various warehouses, and even taverns and other facilities.

Moreover, in the fortress, you can sometimes see the figure of the patrol team in full armor, and a pair of sharp eyes patrol the room, which makes a tense atmosphere come to the face.

Seeing this, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved, and finally his eyes fell on a castle in the center of the fortress.

Needless to say, that was clearly the heart of the fortress.

At the same time, the ordinary residents who followed in the second half of the team showed uncontrollable excited expressions on their faces.

There are soldiers from their own kingdom everywhere. For them, who have been devastated by war, this is undoubtedly the most reassuring thing in this period of time.

"His Royal Highness, please go directly to the fortress castle with the villain to rest."

At this time, I saw Aogu, the lieutenant at the forefront, bowing slightly to Ariel again, and then smiled: "It's better for you and the two kingdom generals to report the latest battle situation."

Speaking of this, Aogu's face showed a touch of smugness again, and added: "After all, General Bai has ordered the villain to take over the commander-in-chief of this place and the other two fortresses before retreating. "

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

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

Afterwards, he continued: "Lieutenant General Aogu, these residents are pitiful people who have been baptized by war. Be sure to treat them well, let them rest here for a while, and then send someone to send them to the rear for good resettlement."

"Please rest assured, Her Royal Highness, the villain will do his best."

Hearing this, I saw that Aogu continued to keep a smile, and then nodded to a soldier captain who was on standby beside him.

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

Seeing this scene, taking advantage of the chaos around him, Lei Xiao pondered for a while, and then through recitation, he softly instructed 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 in case something unexpected happened.

At present, next to Lei Xiao, apart from Chaoyan and Ye Cang, and Burt and Jubai on the bright side.

There are also two fifth-order powerhouses on the dark side, Huzhang and Hong Ye, who stay on the left and right, and naturally do not need to worry about safety issues.

Having said that, the reason why Lei Xiao instructed Nan Xing Nanyue to start acting separately was to further verify what he had seen and heard along the way.

Needless to say, both the unconventional behavior of Bai Lao and the performance of the deputy general, Aogu, were obviously somewhat unusual.

From this, it is not difficult to see that this mountain fortress, although the surface is calm, there is a biting undercurrent in secret, which is about to move.

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

Otherwise, once the worst happens, not only himself and Ariel next to him, but also the entire mountain fortress will be in danger of being overturned.

"Originally, I just planned to meet Bai Lao and observe the inside of the fortress. However, 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 so.

Next, it didn't take long, surrounded by Aogu and a few teams of cold flame soldiers.

Ariel, Bert, and Jubai were in front, and Lei Xiao, Ye Cang, and Chaoyan were behind, and they came to the gate of the fortress together.

If you look closely, you can see that the castle is also heavily fortified, and between every watchtower and watchtower on it, you can see the figures of fully armed soldiers.

"what?"

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

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

At this time, from his old face, you can see a vague warning look, which is obviously also a lot of doubts about the current anomalies.

"A few years ago, I spent some time in the mountain fortress."

On the other side, I saw Ju Bai observing sharply, and continued: "I know that this castle, which is 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: "And now, the light of the castle's magic tower is not there, which undoubtedly means that the detection magic enchantment covering the castle has become invalid. now..."
