Chapter 409: Welcome Home

"It's coming soon."

Kavos stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then looked around, this place was not far from the Land of Atonement, although Kavos had never been to the Land of Atonement, but as an old mercenary, he still knew the situation here very well. Because of this, after entering the forest path, Kavos ordered his men to patrol everywhere for fear of being attacked by the barbarians. But what made Cavos unbelievable was that the entire forest path was very calm, and they didn't even notice the shadow of the barbarians along the way, which was indeed unimaginable and strange for Cavos.

But that's fine.

Thinking of this, Cavers couldn't help but look back and glance at the crowd behind him. In addition to the mercenaries in various equipment, there were also a large number of companions——— girls in spirit robes gathered under the protection of the holy knights, sitting in the carriage, following behind the mercenaries. Looking further back, you can see several aristocratic carriages decorated with lavish decorations, thinking that there are private guards around the carriages. Coupled with the miners and villagers who fell far behind the ground, the whole team can be said to look quite spectacular.

It's no wonder, after all, in this team, in addition to the more than two hundred mercenaries of the Starlight Mercenary Regiment, the fifty spirit masters in the church and the thirty holy knights who are responsible for protecting them are also impressively listed, not only that, but the Metz Chamber of Commerce also sent more than thirty people to the fortress to be responsible for the operation and construction of the Chamber of Commerce. The Kellers kept their promise to Rhodes and sent more than sixty workers to the fortress to excavate the veins. In addition, when they passed by Shenxi Village, some of the villagers also wanted to go to the fortress. In the end, the whole team numbered about three or four hundred people. In the beginning, Cavos didn't plan to lead so many people to the fortress, after all, if something happened, he was responsible. Eventually, though, Kavos changed his mind. In any case, these forces are the objects that the Starlight Guild needs to befriend in the future, since they are willing to come with them. Then it's better to be a favor, and it doesn't take much time.

Although he said that, after entering the forest path, Kavos still couldn't help kicking in his heart, for fear that those barbarians would launch a surprise attack on himself and others, after all, there are so many people here, in case they are really attacked by barbarians, mercenaries. The Holy Knights, the Private Soldier and the Militia are not very familiar with each other, and it is very likely that there will be chaos in response to unexpected situations, and in such a situation, if there is really a big trouble, then rely on their own strength. It's completely out of control.

But fortunately, it seems that the barbarians did not mean to trouble them, and everyone walked all the way, leisurely almost like a wild outing, which even made Kavos question his own judgment a little——— could it be that the legendary barbarians who do all kinds of evil are just rumors?

"How much longer?"

Thinking of this, Cavos gathered his mind and then looked at Pooh not far away beside him. After the villagers of Deep Creek joined in, considering that the mountain hunters were more familiar with the roads than he did, Cavos finally decided to let them lead the way.

With the help of firelight. Kavos glanced ahead, the blackened mountains blocking his view. The place on the edge of order is no joke, it is only afternoon, and the sky is already dark, and if it weren't for the torch, you wouldn't even be able to see the surroundings clearly. Originally, Kavos thought that it was too dangerous to go up the mountain in the dark, so it was better to wait for the day before moving forward, but when he asked the villagers of Shenxi Village, he learned that the day here was only a few hours. Kavos was also completely in the wind. In the end, he had to grit his teeth and order the large army to continue to set off.

Merely. With the passage of time, Cavos also beat a drum in his heart, he only hoped that the road was not too far away, otherwise, it would be very dangerous for so many people to stop in such a place.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kavos."

Pooh smiled at Cavos's inquiry, then looked around and replied casually.

"Just walk this way, go around this hillside, and you can see."

"I hope so."

Kavos sighed, and then, as if remembering something, looked at Pooh again.

"Captain Pooh, have you ever been to this fortress before?"

"In the past, when we were hunting, we would occasionally camp there."

Pooh nodded, then he smiled wryly and patted Kavos on the shoulder.

"But frankly, the fortress is badly damaged, and it's in ruins everywhere, and it's okay to live there once in a while, but it's a nuisance to stay there forever."

"Hey..............."

Hearing this, Caworth sighed, and he guessed that this would be the case, when Rhodes said that he would rebuild a fortress on the ruins of the fortress in the Land of Atonement, Cavacs felt that this was too unreliable. At the time, he had hoped that the ruins of the fortress would be a little stronger and more complete, but now it seemed that even this was a delusion for Kavos.

Thinking of this, Cavos shook his head, and then he cheered up and beckoned his mercenaries, motioning for them to follow. And at this moment, suddenly a mercenary who was serving as a scout rushed from the front and shouted loudly.

"My lord!! My lord!!! ”

"What's wrong? What's going on?! ”

Hearing the scout's call, Kavus shivered, and then he quickly pressed the weapon at his waist and asked. Could it be that after walking for so long, now those barbarians are finally coming to the door?

But to the surprise of Kavos, the mercenary in front of him who came to report to him did not look nervous and frightened, on the contrary, with a look of surprise and shock on his face, he ran frantically in front of Kavos, and then gasped for several breaths, then let out a long breath, and then looked at Kavus and spoke.

"Great, my lord, you'd better go ahead and have a look!"

"What's wrong? What's going on?! ”

Hearing the mercenary's report, Kavus became more and more uneasy, and he asked in a low voice, but the mercenary didn't know what he was doing, and did not report him immediately as Cavos imagined, on the contrary, he even had time. He winked at Kavos, and then said mysteriously.

"I think it's better for you to check with your own eyes, my lord."

"What kind of fame is it about?"

The strange movements of the mercenary in front of him made Kavos very unslow, but because of this, he became more and more curious about the situation ahead. He didn't ask any more questions, just glared at the mercenary dissatisfiedly, and then strode forward, and Pooh followed behind Kavos curiously. Ran over.

Turning the hillside, the first thing Cavos saw were the other scouts in charge of guarding and scouting, who were standing on the mountain path in a daze, their long mouths and eyes staring blankly ahead, and even the bow and arrow in their hands fell to the ground but they were still at a loss.

And when he saw them, Kavos was not angry. These guys are also experienced mercenaries, and at this moment, instead of cheering themselves up, these bastards are standing here like idiots, are they planning to embarrass themselves?

Well? Wait, there is no torch here, why do you see it so clearly?

Thinking of this, Cavos couldn't help but be stunned, and then. He looked ahead.

As far as the eye can see, on the mountain road in front of you, street lamps are erected smoothly on both sides of the road, and the magic luminous stones inlaid on them emit a soft orange glow, illuminating the road in front of you. Under the light of this light, you can clearly see the smooth stone paved road under your feet leading up——— and then reaching the hillside.

Kavos's gaze followed the path upwards, and then he froze in place.

Under the cover of night. A brilliance. The dazzling fortress towered silently in front of him, the glow of the magical flames burning at the top of the spiky watchtower illuminating the dark sky. Tearing through the dim curtain, it brought unimaginable light to the originally dark world. From a distance, the entire fortress looks like a huge torch, so dazzling and dazzling in the darkness.

"It's ............ This ..............."

Staring blankly at the huge fortress in front of him, Kavos could hardly speak, although he couldn't see it very clearly in the night, but with the help of the light of the fortress itself, Kavos still saw the tall, flat, smooth city wall, and the flat buildings inside the city wall——— Holy Spirit was on it, how could this be an abandoned fortress? And, judging by the appearance, where does this place look like a slight, ruin?

Thinking of this, Caworth couldn't help but move his neck with difficulty, turned his head to look at Pooh beside him, hoping that the militia captain could give him an explanation, but he found that Pooh was much more surprised than himself, and he even stood in place like this, his face was as pale as a blank piece of paper, and the whole person seemed to see something that he couldn't believe exist.

And just when Cavos patted the other party's shoulder, about to ask, he didn't expect that Pooh suddenly jumped up at this moment, and then as if he was crazy, he stretched out his hands and pressed them on Kavos's shoulders, shaking back and forth vigorously.

"The Holy Soul is above! It can't be, I can swear, it's not the ruins of that fortress. Oh my God, that adult actually did it, how did he do it!! How could he have built such a large fortress so quickly?! ”

"Okay, you calm down, calm down."

Kavos, who was carried away by Pooh's sudden madness, also shouted loudly, and then barely calmed down the militia captain, and then he looked at Pooh and asked seriously.

"Are you sure this isn't the ruins of that fortress?"

"I can swear by my soul, my lord, this is definitely not the ruins of the fortress we are familiar with, the Holy Spirit is above, it is a ruin, and this is a complete fortress. Moreover, this fortress is several times bigger than the ruins!! ”

Without Pooh's explanation, Cavos can understand this, the smooth stone bricks, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to be the product of the passage of time, and at this time, Cavos finally understood what Rod said he wanted to surprise them when he returned to the stronghold.

Merely......... How do adults do it? He had no manpower or materials, and he even heard from the villagers of Shenxi Village that when they rescued these villagers from the devil, it was still a ruined fortress in ruins, and now, how could such a huge and majestic fortress appear on the ground?

What exactly did he use?

Come to think of it. Kavos even felt his body tremble from excessive surprise and excitement, and he clenched his fists and forced himself to stop. But the body seemed to be completely out of control, and it didn't listen to his command at all. In desperation, Kavos could only slam his fist on the stone next to him, which forced his body to stop trembling. Then, he opened his mouth and took a deep breath of cold air. Only then did he regain his composure, then turned around and gave orders to the other mercenaries.

"There's no danger ahead, let them come, remember, tell these guys. Don't panic whatever you see! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!!"

Hearing Kavos's order, the mercenaries, who had recovered from the shock at this moment, immediately nodded, and then quickly, they turned around and ran towards the rear.

It has to be said that Kavos's warning was indeed very reasonable, and after those mercenaries saw this huge fortress, almost all of them were frightened and couldn't walk. And not only these mercenaries. Even those holy knights and merchants were the same, after all, before they came here, they had all been mentally prepared, such a desolate place as the Land of Atonement, everything had to start from scratch, and everyone was ready to endure hardships. But now seeing such a huge and complete fortress has completely shattered everyone's previous imagination of the Land of Atonement————— isn't this really a dream?

Most people were shocked and ecstatic, although they didn't know how the fortress was built. But since it's there. Then it means that it is real. And with the protection of such a large fortress, I naturally feel a lot more relieved.

But the reaction was the greatest. But it was the villagers of Shenxi Village, and it was no wonder that for the others, they had not been to the Land of Atonement, so they didn't know much about the situation here, so after seeing this fortress, they were shocked at best. But for those villagers of Shenxi Village, who have lived and hunted here for generations, it is as if the world has been turned upside down, and their entire world has been denied. If it weren't for Pooh's shouting, some of the villagers would have turned around and run home.

With anticipation, excitement and surprise, the pace of everyone naturally quickened a lot, and it didn't take long for them to come to the city wall of the fortress.

Looking at the pitch-black and tall city wall in front of him, the sense of majesty and oppression made people tremble, and in the face of the turbulent moat in front of him, Kavos was also hesitant, not knowing what to do——— should he ring the doorbell at this time?

"What people!!"

And at this time, suddenly, there was a loud shout above the city gate, and hearing this voice, Kavos couldn't help but tighten his heart, although he had subconsciously thought that this fortress should belong to the Starlight Guild, but because the appearance of this fortress was too weird, it was inevitable that he would be a little uneasy, this was like a beggar who was used to living in a poor nest, and when he heard that he was going to move, he thought that as long as he could have an ordinary two-bedroom apartment, he would be satisfied, As a result, when I arrived at the place, I found that in front of me was a luxury villa covering an area of 100 acres......... It is still difficult to get rid of this kind of anxiety about gains and losses. If you really go the wrong way, if this fortress is not your guild's, then what should you do? Thinking of this, Cavos couldn't help but get a little nervous.

"I, I'm Kavos of the Starlight Guild!!"

Hearing the above question, Cavos first calmed down, and then replied loudly, and then raised the guild badge in his hand. And after hearing his answer, the other party did not move——— which inevitably made Kavos's heart even more up, could it be that he really went the wrong way? Oops, if you do go the wrong way, then it will be a big problem......... But in the Land of Atonement, there shouldn't be any other power.

Just when Cavos was doubting in his heart and considering whether to retreat to see the situation, suddenly, a heavy sound sounded, and then, the huge city gate slowly fell, spanning the river, forming a solid bridge——— the gate was open, and the dazzling light in the brightly lit fortress even made everyone's eyes squint involuntarily for a while. At this moment, Cavos saw a dark shadow appear from it and slowly walked in front of him.

"Count the time, you should be there too."

Rod looked at Kavos in front of him and nodded at him. At the sight of Rod, Kavos's eyes widened, and it was not until a moment later that he came to his senses, coughed awkwardly, and lowered his head.

"My lord, the leader of the third detachment of the Starlight Guild, Kavos, led the guild members to report to the fortress........." Saying this, Kavus paused, and then he raised his head in some surprise, looked at Rod, and asked with a little fear. ………… That one............ My lord, is this fortress really ours? ”

"That's right."

Hearing Cavos's inquiry, Rhodes nodded very calmly.

"Welcome to our fortress, everyone——— this is our home from today onwards."
