The steep road gradually became gentle, and the connection with the city in the sky appeared in the road paved with neat bricks, and it became faster and faster.

From just enough for two people to walk side by side, all the way to four carriages that could pass side by side.

And the gates and suspension bridges of Defendilan are becoming clearer and clearer.

A moat, about 100 feet wide, runs around the city as if it were guarding Delfendilland.

Even if he hadn't even reached the front, Dean could hear the sound of the rushing river inside.

However, Dean knew that it was not a river in the true sense of the word.

Rather, it is the sound of a living being's breathing.

"Pagani, the abomination and godly bloodline of myths and legends, seems to be like transparent mud, but it is very powerful, and it is not afraid of ordinary physical attacks, especially in groups, we need to slow down and not disturb them......"

Gray reminded Dean.

However, before the words could be finished, layers of frost appeared where Dean stood, and his breath spread into the moat, followed by a clattering and freezing sound.

Then, the XP value that only Dean could see quickly brushed up in pieces-

【XP+500】

【XP+450】

【XP+500】

……

"What did you say?"

Dean asked, turning his head to look at Gray.

"Nothing?"

The latter looked at Dean helplessly and shrugged.

Then, Dean strode towards the gates of Defendilan.

At the same time, I glanced at the XP value -

41600

The previous anglers and the current Pagani each have an XP of around 500. Especially the large number of the latter. For Dean to quickly recover the XP consumed by the [Life Hidden Method] and the [Soul Eye].

Although there is still a certain gap with the previous total XP value. However, Dean believes that Defendilan's trip will be enough for him to reach his original XP value, and it is highly likely that he will even exceed it.

As for the rest of the catch?

Dean glanced at the new talent [Giant Change].

This will be one of the biggest takeaways from his trip.

At the thought of the inner ring angler Gray was talking about, Dean couldn't help but quicken.

A hundred feet away, in the blink of an eye.

"This drawbridge and the city gate are for a day, and they must be opened from the inside, otherwise they will touch the large puppets inside, so. We need to go around here along the city walls and take the underground drains! It will take a little more time, but it will be much safer......"

Gray explained, arranging his next move.

However, Dean's palm was already on the drawbridge.

Then, push hard.

Quack, crunch!

The hundred-foot-long drawbridge, which could accommodate three carriages in parallel, began to make a gut-sore sound along with the gates, and then, under Gray's horrified gaze, the steady mountain-like drawbridge and the gates were torn out by Dean.

Bang!

In the midst of such a roar. The drawbridge and the gate were thrown by Dean on the 'moat' at will, bringing up layers of dirt.

Click, click!

The sound of metal grinding. Two thirty-foot-tall metal golems stepped out.

The whole body was shrouded in heavy steel armor, and every step was carried by the vibration of the ground, and the halberd that grew up in both hands was the size of an ordinary carriage.

"This is a large puppet guarding Defendilan, with infinite strength, invulnerability, and high resistance to energy attacks, if you want to defeat them, you must go around their backs and smash energy crystals, but they all act in pairs, such opportunities are rare, it can be said that they are fleeting...... Also, will we be able to follow my plan next time? After all, I've been here twice and I've had experience here! ”

Gray looked at Dean's recklessness with a wry smile.

Although I really want to see Dean deflated, the two are companions at this moment.

If Dean is unlucky, he will be unlucky.

This wasn't what Gray wanted to see.

Dean didn't speak, and strode towards the two large golems.

Woo! Woo!

In two scalp-numbing sounds, two huge halberds slashed straight at Dean.

Without the slightest dodge, Dean let two massive halberds slash at him.

Clang! Clang!

In the splash of sparks, the fiercely slashed halberd flew high, and the two large puppets were driven back by the force of the shock.

And Dean was unscathed.

Then, leaning down and lunging towards the two large golems.

Bang, bang!

Like a meteor impact, two large golems flew straight up, dancing with their hands, electric sparks flickering, and some parts fell out of thin air.

Obviously, Dean's impact was more than simply knocking two golems into the air.

It is also because of the huge power that their interior, some delicate places, have been changed and destroyed.

Such a change and destruction made the two large golems unable to function properly.

Click, click!

In a continuous noise, the two large golems tried to get back on their feet, but to no avail.

The parts at the joints are broken down, so that they can only maintain this state.

And Dean didn't hesitate to give the other party's final blow-

The two halberds belonging to the large puppets were inserted straight into the bodies of the two large puppets.

Bang! Bang!

In the explosion with fire, the two large golems were completely turned into scrap metal.

Dean ignored the explosion behind him and walked straight in front of Gray.

This time Gray didn't speak again, but after looking at Dean, he walked straight to the outer ring of Defendilan.

For Gray, saving time was a must-see.

It's just that I'm a little uncomfortable with Dean's direct crushing approach.

He is more accustomed to planning and then acting.

"Still. This kind of guy who is only used to using his own strength. Really the best partner ......"

Gray thought silently. The corners of the mouth can't help but turn up slightly.

An imaginary enemy with both wisdom and bravery, and a reckless man who only knows brute strength.

Undoubtedly, the latter is easier to deal with.

Dean didn't look back, but seemed to feel Gray's smile.

Similarly, the corners of Dean's mouth turned up slightly.

He showed his 'side' to the other party thoroughly, just to give the other party an impression.

An impression that makes the other party miscalculate.

Because, Dean believes. Even if the other party paid close attention to him, he definitely did not enter the Godez investigation and collect evidence.

As for in Ryrol?

Dean spends most of his time playing a front-line role.

Advice is done by Takarou.

If the other party starts from this, they will be even more preconceived.

For Dean, it's even more beneficial.

The long tunnel of the city gate was lit by magic lamps on both sides, and the pale blue light shone on the two of them, and a warm feeling rose from the bottom of their hearts.

A feeling of peace and warmth.

Dean frowned.

Gray even stopped.

"I haven't been through here! I don't know what to expect inside......"

Gray said.

There was not the slightest dissatisfaction in the tone, nor was there any dissatisfaction in the content of the words.

However, the meaning is clear.

If something goes wrong, Dean should be responsible.

Naturally, a pathfinder thing. Dean should be in charge.

And Dean has no objection to this-

"You can regain your strength and spirit here!"

Dean said very dryly. Then, continue to stride forward.

In the book he reads, it was mentioned that the soldiers who entered the Defendilan would be healed, no matter how badly wounded.

Or even a severed limb to be reborn and brought back to life.

Although this is far from achieving the effect described in the book, in the system bar that only Dean can see, his energy and qi that have not been consumed much are instantly restored.

And, what's even more amazing is that Dean's physical strength doesn't feel consumed here at all.

Looking at Dean's back, it wasn't until Dean had stepped ten feet out that Gray followed.

Whether it's Dean, or Gray.

is very concerned about his own life.

Otherwise, the two would not have had such a verbal agreement.

The Gate Tunnel is about sixty feet, and at the end, is a staircase that descends.

There are more than a dozen staircase steps, and they are not deep.

Down the stairs is a ten-foot hallway, then up again.

Dean and Gray walked in the middle, their eyes constantly looking at the rock overhead.

Such a layout, and a few small clues around.

All illustrate the role of this rock.

"This is a circuit breaker!"

Dean affirmed.

Gray nodded without objection.

Then, with a slight groan, he asked, "There was also a war in Delfendilland?" Moreover, the disadvantages are also taken into account...... So, they have to be evenly matched against the enemy! And the person who can be on par with Decajal must be a crown! ”

"God's War ......"

Dean said, and then continued, "At least be well prepared! ”

"Well, the previous City Gate Drawbridge, as well as the Angler's Cliff, the Drowning Sea, and the Lost Forest, should all be built on the periphery of defense!"

Gray nodded.

The next moment, though, Gray frowned again.

"But such a defensive measure is almost like a joke for the real crown, right?"

Gray wondered.

"But at least part of the enemy can be eliminated!"

Dean said this, and then, pointing to the rock above his head, said, "After all, it didn't appear to stop the real gods!" ”

"What kind of person would that be? Maybe it's a test for subordinates - a few of the noblemen I know love to do such things! ”

Gray guessed.

"Who knows?"

Dean shrugged his shoulders and moved on.

Gray followed.

And after this downward and upward turn, the two officially stepped into the outer ring of Defendilland.
