As soon as he stepped into the giant gate of the fortress, Lei Xiao looked around and couldn't help but take a deep breath of the chilly air.

Inside the gate, there is a large, nearly square, vast and empty space.

The spacious space is surrounded by towering walls, with figures on them looking longingly and condescendingly.

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

"The barbican built inside the fortress gate?"

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

This unique design can undoubtedly further increase the defense capabilities of the fortress.

It is conceivable that even if the opponent breaks through the fortress gate and rushes straight into the interior of the fortress.

What awaits them will undoubtedly be more fierce, with bows, arrows and magic coming from all directions above their heads.

"In this case, if the outer gate is dropped and a large number of enemies rush in, it will naturally be a real trap."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao thought to himself: "Currently, the territory's limited area is not suitable for building this kind of city."

"However, after the lord's mansion continues to be upgraded and the population limit is further expanded, and 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 a barbican city."

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

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

At this time, what appeared in front of him was a large and well-organized military camp.

I saw blacksmith shops lined up on both sides of the road.

For a time, the crisp sound of the hammer hitting the anvil, the sizzling sound of quenching, and the beating of the wind box were heard everywhere. There was a solemn atmosphere unique to the military camp everywhere.

Further ahead, there are dozens of stone military camps arranged neatly, with almost no end as far as the eye can see.

Among them, there are also large and small training grounds, stables, magic healing centers for treating wounded soldiers, various warehouses, even taverns and other facilities. It can be said that they are all available.

Moreover, in the fortress, you can sometimes see the figures of heavily armed patrols, with pairs of sharp eyes patrolling, causing a tense atmosphere to hit your face.

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

Needless to say, that is obviously the core of the fortress.

At the same time, the faces of the ordinary residents following the second half of the team showed expressions of uncontrollable excitement.

Soldiers from their own kingdom are everywhere here. This is undoubtedly the most reassuring thing for them who have been devastated by war.

"Your Royal Highness, please follow me directly to the fortress castle to rest."

At this time, Lieutenant General Aogu, who was walking at the front, bowed slightly to Ariel again, and then smiled and said: "I just want to tell you and the two kingdom generals about the recent battle situation."

Having said this, a hint of pride appeared on Ogu's face, and he added: "After all, General Bai had already ordered the villain to take over the position of commander-in-chief here and the other two fortresses before going into seclusion."

Gu Thu

"I know, you can just lead the way." Hearing this, Ariel nodded slightly and responded.

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

Then, he continued: "Vice-General Ogu, these residents are poor people who have been baptized by war. You must treat them well and let them rest here for a period of time, and then send someone to send them to the rear for proper resettlement."

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

After hearing this, Ogu continued to smile, and then nodded to a soldier captain on standby beside him.

On the other side, the soldier captain understood and immediately led a group of Cold Flame soldiers and began to loudly guide the Cold Flame residents to the designated area to rest.

Seeing this scene, taking advantage of the chaos around him, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then muttered something and softly ordered 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 conduct secret investigations to prevent unexpected events.

Currently, beside Lei Xiao, except Chao Yan and Ye Cang, as well as Bert and Ju Bai on the bright side.

There are also two fifth-level powerhouses on the dark side, Huzhang and Hongye, who are guarding him every step of the way. Naturally, there is no need to worry about safety issues.

Having said that, the reason why Lei Xiao ordered Nan Xing Nan Yue to start taking action separately was to further verify what he had seen and heard along the way.

Needless to say, both Bai Lao's unconventional actions and the performance of deputy general Ogu were obviously a little unusual.

From this, it is not difficult to see that although this mountain fortress looks calm on the surface, secretly, there is a biting undercurrent that is ready to stir.

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

Otherwise, if the worst happens, not only himself and Ariel beside him, but also the entire mountain fortress may be in danger of being overturned.

"Originally, I just planned to meet Mr. Bai and observe the inside of the fortress. However, judging from the current situation, there is obviously something weird here."

At this time, Lei Xiao, whose face was hidden under his hood, frowned slightly, thinking this while continuing to move forward.

Next, it didn't take long for him to be surrounded by Ogu and several groups of cold flame soldiers.

Ariel, Bert, and Ju Bai were in front, and Lei Xiao, Ye Cang, and Chao Yan were behind. They arrived at the gate of the fortress castle together.

Observing carefully, we can see that this castle is also heavily fortified, and fully armed soldiers can be seen between every arrow tower and observation tower.

"Huh?"

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

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

At this time, a vague warning look could be seen on his old face, which obviously caused a lot of doubts about the current abnormalities.

"A few years ago, I spent some time at the Hillfort Fortress."

On the other side, Ju Bai was observing with sharp eyes while continuing: "I know that this castle located in the center of the fortress is covered with an efficient detection magic barrier to prevent enemies from sneaking in."

At this point, Orange's expression became more serious, and he said: "And now, the light of the castle's magic tower is no longer there, which undoubtedly means that the detection magic barrier covering the castle has failed. Already..."
