The Red Rock Fort, built to defend against the invasion of the Abyss Plane, has undergone three large-scale damages.
After coming to the city gate, Sir Michian did not directly lead Raymond and the others in, but led them to the right side of the city gate, pointing to the unpainted wall and introducing it proudly. "Lord Raymond, this is the trace left by the three times when the Red Rock Fort was breached, although the Terran Alliance with the Abyss Plane has concluded a peace agreement for many years, but if the agreement is torn up again, it will cost them a hundred times the price before to come to the Red Rock Fort!"
On this section of the city wall, which is tens of meters high, the traces of the collapse and damage of the wall are clearly visible, and Raymond, who released his perception and touched the wall with his hand, changed his face after a while. "Is this wall made of lightning rock?"
When Sir Michios, who put on a rather surprised and admiring expression, he was very exaggerated in amazement. "Ahh......h
Sir Michiat's deliberate compliment made Raymond a little speechless. "Sir Michiatse......! Lightning Rock is the most resistant spell building material, and wizards who have lived in the underground plane for a while should know it......"
Sir Michies, who had been exposed, laughed for a moment but was not embarrassed, and then raised his hand to sign and walked to the gate of the city first. "Lord Raymond, I wonder why you came to Red Rock Castle with the documents of the Abyss Plane?"
"There was an accident, so I showed up over there......"
Answering Sir Michiatius's question casually, Raymond followed him to the gate of the city, and instead of getting on the beast cart prepared by Sir Michiatius, he walked along the street towards the Red Rock Fort, and soon Raymond felt the surprising and peaceful atmosphere of the fortress-like city of Red Rock Fort.
The entire city must have been built to defend against the invasion of the Abyssal Plane. Because there is also a powerful rune array set up in the wall that is more than ten meters thick, and the area behind the wall that is 100 meters wide is all open space, it obviously exists as a buffer zone.
But after crossing this buffer zone, the wide streets are already bustling commercial areas on both sides, although it is still early in the morning when Raymond enters the city, many shops on both sides of the street have already opened, and those early shops are actually boiling and lively.
"Hongyan Fort has been peaceful for a long time, and the business opportunities it has are not comparable to those in the inland, so it is more accurate to say that this is a fortress than a commercial city......
As if sensing Raymond's confusion, Sir Michiatis became nervous in vain after explaining. Hurry up and add it. "But the garrison of Hongyan Fort is still on high alert, as long as there are signs of large-scale invasion, the entire Hongyan Fort will become a pure military fortress in an hourglass, and any force that dares to attack will be hated by this!"
Walking slowly on the street paved with black lightning rocks, Raymond released his perception to probe everything around him. But he laughed. "I felt the existence of a large number of runes in the entire Red Rock Fort, but it shouldn't be enough to open an hourglass of all these runes......"
But Raymond didn't finish his words. Sir Michiat, whose expression suddenly became shocked, shouted again in an exaggerated manner. "Oh my God, you're even proficient in runes, it's incredible!"
Raymond, who felt that he was being deliberately complimented again, smiled bitterly. He turned and sighed in the direction of the gate. "Could it be that there are very few wizards in the entire Red Rock Fort who are proficient in rune arrays? Just those rune arrays at the gate of the city are definitely not something that dozens of high-level wizards can activate......
Sir Michiatis, whose eyes lit up when he heard this, immediately cried out bitterly. Although Lord Combas has long asked to send a large number of theater rune divisions to strengthen the defense, there has been no war here for many years, so there has been no new theater rune division coming, but the existing theater rune divisions have been transferred to the secluded canyon one after another. It's unsettling to think about......"
Sir Michiatis's statement made Raymond frown, and in his previous exploration of these large runes in the range of his senses, he had found that the Red Rock Fort was like a city built with countless runes, both under his feet and within the towering walls. All have intricate runes that stack on top of each other and have their own effects.
"It not only takes a long time to activate such a large and complicated rune array one by one, but it also requires precise control, and the slightest mistake will cause the effect of each rune array to weaken, could it be that the current Hongyan Fort is not even enough to fully activate these rune arrays?"
Raymond was so keenly aware of the message that Sir Michiat's expression became embarrassed, and he looked at Raymond carefully for a moment, and then sighed after making sure he meant nothing else. "yes...... The death rate of the Battlezone Rune Formation Division in the Secluded Canyon is quite high, and the hostile Abyss Warcraft Legion over there has no possibility of reaching a peace agreement, so it is already very gratifying for the high-level leaders that Hongyan Fort can reach an agreement with the opposite front war zone, so to put it bluntly, it is better to communicate with the Terrans......"
Sir Michies's answer made Raymond even more puzzled. "Fu Array Divisions are generally at the back end of the battlefield, how can there be battle damage?"
"There's no way, the special terrain of the secluded canyon has to make the Warzone Rune Array Master follow the team forward, so if you encounter those demonic beasts going crazy or the appearance of the beast tide, then the Warzone Rune Array Master will have no way to live, only ......to die."
Speaking of this, Sir Michies's expression showed sadness, and as he walked along, Raymond could clearly feel Sir Michies' mood changes, and followed Sir Michian as if he had lost interest in talking, and soon invited Raymond to get in the car again, so that he could go to his own residence as soon as possible.
Raymond, who interrupted the conversation, took the dark elf Freya and Scar to the beast cart, while Freya, the dark elf who was on the side of the car window and was interested in everything here, let out surprised admiration from time to time.
But Scar, who had always seemed to be lacking in interest, laughed and teased. "What's so good to see in the outer city! It's really prosperous when you enter it after a while, and since this Michiis claims to be a 'knight', then he must live in the inner city, which is a hundred times more prosperous than the abyss city of the Terran Alliance!"
Freya, who was so commented on by Scar, rarely didn't get angry, but just pursed her lips and said angrily. "You like to deceive people! The Abyss City of the Terran Alliance is the largest and most magnificent city since the Dark Ages, how can this place surpass the Abyss City!"
"You wait and see, the inner city of Hongyan Fort is the core area of the main force of war preparedness, I heard from the last time I came here, only hereditary nobles and garrison elites can settle there, where is the outer city so deserted......"
Raymond, who was sitting in the beast cart, listened to the arguments between the dark elves Freya and Scar, although he didn't have any impression of the abyssal city of the Abyssal Plane Terran Alliance, but the street of Red Rock Fort he saw through the car window was already bustling and somewhat surprising.
A large number of shops stand on both sides of the street, and the smell of wine in the air is intoxicating, and Raymond, who senses the pulse of Red Rock Fort, finds that the city is gradually waking up.
Hidden in the alley at the door of the tavern, a drunk man is helped by the clerk to the beast cart parked next to the door, and the person in the coachman's uniform will immediately drive the beast cart and disappear quickly.
The houses hidden in the depths of the alleys are inhabited by a large number of ordinary people and a small number of low-level wizards, but these low-level wizards are unable to detect Raymond's perception, or are sleeping soundly, or meditating, but the area they live in has a clear boundary with ordinary people, and it is very easy to identify.
After a long time, Raymond regained his perception, but found that the feeling brought to him by the outer city of Red Rock Fort was an undefended city...... (To be continued......)
