CHAPTER 256: BEGINNING OF THE WAR (DENDARA FORTRESS )

After leaving the forest, what is seen by them is a basin that extends down diagonally. The basin's bottom is flat, and a wide river meanders through the basin, feeding the lush plants along the two riverbanks.

In this lush meadow, they could see a group of animals running around, especially wild pegasi. Their white bodies were like flowing white lines as they galloped in the meadow. When they were tired from running, the pegasi would collectively spread their wings and fly into the sky, occupying a vast airspace, he said, scaring the lone wild griffin to rush aside and roaring furiously at them in protest.

Several low fruit trees were scattered in this meadow. Fruits that grow on trees attract some small animals to come and eat. At the same time, these small animals also attract carnivorous attacks and ambushes. On the banks of the river, many large animals such as antelopes and bison are drinking water. They are wary of crocodiles that may be in the river, and they will raise their heads to observe their surroundings every drink.

　

　

Countless flying insects, butterflies, and bees flew over the flowers in the grass. As soon as the other animals passed by, they would be shocked…

This place is full of life. Roy and the others, who had just come out of the Desert of Death, looked at this scene in astonishment.

“This place is not bad!” Said Roy. “I didn't know that it was a border zone at all. ”

“Master, the fortress is there!” Cassandra had already landed and pointed forward. “It's just along the river. ”

　

　

Roy looked up and saw the meandering river extending forward. After crossing the meadow, it gradually fused into a vast canyon. Both sides of this canyon were cliffs, and on top of the cliff was a huge city!

The fortress was at least tens of kilometers away, so it seemed quite small. But Roy judged that it was a large city that could accommodate around a hundred thousand people. Even from here, he could see the tall and slippery city walls surrounding the city. If this city was about a hundred meters from the foundation to the top of the city, then the city walls surrounding the city were at least fifty meters high!

　

　

The fort built on this cliff is tantamount to guarding the entrance of the canyon, and will find ground troops who want to pass through the canyon to Eeofol. In the sky above the fortress city, Roy saw countless dense black dots flying. They were stone gargoyles that unceasingly patrolled day and night as well as a small number of griffins and green dragons. However, judging from the main direction the city walls were facing, Roy found that the fort was mostly aimed at the inside of the canyon, meaning it was to guard from those who came out. It seemed that after the demon army established a foothold in Eeofol, the various races on the continent were completely tense, afraid that the demons would rush out again.

After observing for a while, Roy discovers that the flying troops flying over the fort are changing regularly, signaling that the fort is only on routine patrol. The elf guards they killed in the forest did not send any information back to the fortress. Otherwise, it might not be like this.

Roy sensed the location of the Demon Eyes that he had released earlier and discovered that they were already near the fortress and were on standby.

This is Dendera, the royal fortress city of Bracada! Giovanni. “Aglan elven fortress is at the other end of the canyon. Both fortresses were huge fortress cities with over a hundred thousand people. Even if the demon army wanted to fight, it would have to pay a very expensive price. Forgive my honesty, Your Majesty Osiris. It might not be a good idea to attack directly. ”

　

　

“I'm not stupid!” Roy glared at Giovanni. “Why don't you see how many troops I have? I haven't even seen the vampire troop you promised to support me. Am I going to use a small army to attack this kind of fortified city? “

After Roy's reprimand, Giovanni is silent. Julia asked, “Then, what are you going to do? Are you planning to make the dark snow fall again? “

Roy shook his head. “Free only . This was different from using it in the forest. There must be a lot of witches in the fortress city. Once the dark snow falls, they will soon discover that something is wrong. At that time, the witches had a way to remove the snow. This way, not only will it be useless, but it will expose us instead. ”

Julia understood what Roy was saying, but she really could not think of a way to conquer this fortress city. Although Roy is quite strong, Julia is also a high-level demon, and Fat Tiger, Giovanni, and Cassandra help out, they are at a loss to face such a large army.

　

　

“Why don't we build a summoning formation here first?!” Julia advised. “Open Abyss Gate. Even though it's a little rough, we can summon a lot of demons. ”

“Do not worry. We will definitely summon the demon army. But when we summon one, it is best to make the Great Gate of the Gorge! ” Roy sneers cynically. “But not now . Wait till we have the fort. We will use the demon army to deal with Xeron! Now, I have a better way to attack this fortress. ”

Seeing Roy so confident, Julia did not ask further. Roy first controlled the invisible Demonic Eye to approach the Dendera Fortress carefully and investigate at close range.

　

　

When he fights Arantir, Roy realizes that those who can be called heroes in the Ashan world are basically no weaker than ordinary high-level demons. Some famous heroes with extraordinary military exploits were even stronger than high-level demons. No matter how strong Roy was, he might have an accident if he wasn't careful.

Roy even felt lucky that this was not the fortress of Erathia kingdom. Otherwise, there might be a large army of angels. For demons, angels are harder to deal with than dragons and titans.

As the Demonic Eye approached, the situation in the Dendera gradually appeared in front of Roy.

The reason why it was a fortress city was because there were no civilians in this city. Practically all military forces here. Bracada may be worried that it will be difficult for civilians to evacuate if the demons attack, so they just put all the troops in it.

In this fortress, he could see the iron golems moving in an orderly fashion everywhere. The number of iron golems was probably the largest, with at least fifty to sixty thousand. In the city, there were golem factories everywhere, and many gremlin came past him, building and adding golems according to the blueprint.

On the city walls, many magician towers and balistas stood, and a large amount of equipment such as catapults. This is the configuration used to defend the city. Dragons with swords were patrolling the city walls, and some elven guards with bows on their backs were watching among the bricks of the city wall barrier.

A little further away is Dendera town hall. There was a very large box, and there were about a hundred giants guarding it. Among these giants, there was a titan of black lightning draped in lightning, and a giant of a storm draped in a storm. They were the strongest force in this fortress.

The giants and dragons never got along and disliked each other, so some of the green dragons and emerald dragons that the elves had as reinforcements did not bother going to the city center to deal with the giants. These green dragons and emerald dragons flew up into the sky to patrol, or they occupied the tops of some buildings in Dendera, lying on top of it with folded wings to rest.

The stone gargoyles would not approach these dragons. Even a small amount of griffin used to transmit information and mail in the city can oppress these gargoyles. However, these gargoyles could be said to be the most hardworking and loyal troops. They tirelessly followed the orders given by the witches day and night. While the griffin and the dragon were resting, they were still monitoring every movement in the canyon.

When the Demonic Eye sent this scene back, even Roy could not help but frown. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least twice the number of troops to take down such a fortress.

　

　

Roy controlled the Demonic Eye to fly towards the town hall. Worried that the giants would find the eye, Roy deliberately increased his height. Then through the Demonic Eyes, he saw many hero figures entering and leaving the city hall from time to time. In a short time, Roy finds six to seven suspected heroes.

Behind the town hall, Roy finally found what he was looking for.

It was a silver arch made entirely of metal, it seemed to be about four to five meters high and was extremely large. These metal arches were on the ground and connected to a huge magic formation on the ground. Each magic formation pattern emitted a dim light, and there were over thirty magicians holding magic wands standing on the outskirts. They seemed to be supplying magic power to magic formations and metal arches.

And in the center of the arch, a giant white light vortex slowly rotated …

It should be a spatial portal. Such a large spatial gate that could be used to move troops was extremely difficult to construct and expensive. But with it connecting to the elven fortress of Aglan, the forces of the two cities could join one another. In other words, if Roy did not remove this spatial portal, it was tantamount to him having to fight two forts at the same time, which was impossible.

Roy did not rashly let the Demonic Eye get close because he did not know if there was anything similar to the magic shield in the spatial portal. If anything, even if the Demonic Eye was invisible, it could still hit the shield and be found.

After ascertaining his location, Roy controlled several Demonic Eyes to search the city and quickly found what he most wanted to find.

That... deep well!

Although Dendera was on the riverbank, the townspeople were unable to draw water from the river. In addition, given the possibility of the city being besieged, it required well water like this. The inhabitants of Bracada and the elves are not undead, and they need water to sustain their lives.

After finding the water source, Roy smiled. He remembered the location of several deep wells in the city and then the Devil Eyes returned.

　

　

Okay, let's wait now! Roy told Julia.

“Waiting for what?” Julia confused.

“Wait night!” Roy folded his wings behind his back, found a stone, and sat down to let his tail hang…
