Chapter 715: Barriers of the State

Knight Valery Potz turned his horse's head and looked back at the fortress behind him.

Even though the fortress was blurry in his eyes, he was still looking at the majestic fortress in the distance with admiration.

It wasn't until the horses under him were already scratching their hooves a little impatiently that the knight of Boz drove the horses to keep up with the distant team.

This time he was not the only knight, and the chief servant of Serena had ten knights, including him, escort the elves back to the Forest of Stars and the Bright Moon with a hundred soldiers.

It was a large procession, with more than a dozen fully enclosed carriages placed in the center of the procession, followed by several wagons carrying heavy loads, and hundreds of horses surrounding it.

In addition to the mission of escorting the elves back, they also had another mission on this trip, so this escort was led by the Knight of Tosoro, who carried two 'contracts' - the 'contract' between the Duchy of Sorrow and the Elven Court officially became allies, in duplicate.

Although they were ready to set off, the ridiculous news was the curse that urged them to get on their way as soon as possible.

Whether it was the captain of the 'Guards Legion' who came to rescue his compatriots, Luo Ze Shanlan, or them, it was hard to imagine that the Elven Court had reached a 'friendly relationship' with the Kurkut Empire, and then became an 'ally'.

Obviously, they had just made a big fuss before, not only losing the face of other nobles, but also the face of the Kurkut Empire.

Their Grand Duke also killed a legend and a duke in this way, though the duke and the family behind him were not very powerful—at least for the Kurkut Empire.

No matter how you look at it, there should be a deep hatred between the Kurkut Empire and the Duchy of the Screaming Wind and the Elven Court, why did they suddenly become 'allies'?

As soon as the news of this reached their ears, they sped up and soon set out on their way to the Forest of Stars and Bright Moon.

Those fully enclosed carriages were specially built, with only one door and many ventilation holes, and no windows.

Although they have been living in Wende City for half a year, they have obviously been so devastated by humans that even the sight of an ordinary human would feel scared, not angry and hateful......

No man or woman, no human being, can approach them, even if they are of the same race, if they talk too much, they will touch the indelible shadow in their hearts, and their emotions will be intensified and they will become insane.

No one knows how much torture they have been through, and the despicable and shameless humans seem to have inflicted too much invisible malice on them.

Even when they're with each other, they try to keep it as silent as possible – just like they always have!

They like to talk to people, but they can't talk to other people.

Every time the Potts knight looked at the carriages, his eyes could not help but show pity, but this was the last look that could not appear in front of their eyes.

Every time he thought about them, Knight Potts thought that Serena was doing nothing wrong.

In this world, there is no need for aristocrats!

As night fell, the glorious galaxy hung over a dark blue curtain, the procession stopped moving, a dozen wagons formed a circle, dozens of tents had been erected, and as early as sunset, the soldiers had planted a fence around the camp.

Although they haven't stepped into the depths of the grassland yet, there are not too many trees at the end of their sight at a glance, these are all brought out of the principality, and it is said to be a new type of 'magic energy equipment', but that is what the mages said, whether this is the case or not, they really don't know.

Dull, silver iron rods stuck into the ground, each as thick as an adult man's arm and as long as a leg, had been embedded in the ground and nothing had happened since they were inserted, though the instructions told not to touch them.

The horses were tethered to the 'stable', which was a specially made tent that could be compressed to the size of a single backpack, but when unfolded, it could accommodate more than 200 horses.

The poor women didn't get out of the carriage because they knew it was full of humans outside.

Although they may have known that the humans outside the carriage were different, they were no longer able to face the 'human' race.

Bowls of porridge were sent into the carriage by the elven soldiers of the Guards, and the knights of Potts were 'lucky' to see them once, they were skinny, and even so, they still looked beautiful, even a little delicate because of their sickness.

The atmosphere in the camp was very dull, the soldiers-to-soldier conversation was not too loud, and no one frolicked.

This made the elven soldiers can't help but cast a grateful look, these soldiers of the Principality of Sorrow have taken care of them too much.

"Do you think they're going to get better?"

Gerald sat beside the Potts Knight, absentmindedly wiping his weapon, his eyes fixed on the carriages.

Those carriages were unusually large, and if it weren't for the fact that the bloodlines of the military horses of the Principality of Sorrow came from the Black Forest, they really couldn't pull these carriages, let alone drag them on the grassland.

There was confusion and melancholy in the eyes of this elven soldier, because he had thought things too simple before, but now he found that things were far more complicated than he had imagined, and much more complicated.

Knight Potts shook his head, "I don't know, even the maid chief said that with their current situation, it is difficult to get better......"

These elven women don't have that tough hearts, and even Gerald doesn't think he'll be able to endure such a long period of torment, let alone his poor kind.

Thankfully, they had already broken the bones of everyone in their way before that, and that was the only consolation.

The night was spent in silence, and when they woke up in the morning, and were about to put away the fence, the soldiers were surprised to find that there were several corpses of poisonous snakes lying outside the fence, and the soldiers who were on the night watch did not seem to see anything.

This also made the soldiers rejoice, fortunately they had not touched these inconspicuous 'iron rods' before.

Then, the team continued to march towards the east of the continent, which was the direction of the Star Moon Forest.

............

Adventurers with pickaxes on their shoulders swayed out of the depths of the Black Forest.

Instead of coming out of the forest, they fell into a deeper shadow, and the culprit of this large shadow was the tall wall in front of them!

The 50-foot-high walls shaded out the sun, and people stood under the walls like ants.

The walls are gray-black, and the square masonry stacked together is a 'miracle'.

Every time they pass by, people can't help but hold their breath, they have never seen such a tall structure, the mage tower in Wende City is taller than the wall in front of them, but this wall stretches for hundreds of miles.

From the Walled Castle to the west to the Blade Fortress to the east, the walls will completely isolate the Black Forest from the Duchy of Sorrow.

Although less than a tenth of the construction has been done now, it is still impressive enough.

Just ask, apart from the Principality of Sorrowful Wind, what other country can create such a 'miracle'?

With awe, the adventurers pulled wooden carts laden with gold ore through the wide archway.

After crossing here, they were still quite a distance away from Overwatch, but once they were, they could rent a carriage and head to Overwatch.

One of the adventurers glanced back at the tall wall, and his envy was palpable.

"It's so beautiful......" he muttered.

Despite its rough appearance, who can resist the charm of this architecture?

And it's not finished yet!
