The three of them saw the barracks on the left side of Valdosta from a distance, the huge barracks was much larger than the more than a thousand people Enoch had said, and the warriors narrowed their eyes in confusion. What's going on, what's going to happen here?"

"I'm afraid yes, look over there. Fern pointed to the left side of the barracks, where a considerable number of soldiers were building more barracks. "At this scale, it looks like there's a big war. ”

"Let's go find Adeline, we'll be able to solve all the puzzles by the time she sees her. Enoch urged the horses to pick up speed.

"I don't think so. Fern kept up with the warrior, reminding himself that he was only working with Adeline for the time being.

Miruria glanced back at the mercenary behind her, and then said something to Enoch.

Fern reluctantly caught up with them. "You don't have to worry, I won't run away, since I agreed to cooperate with Adeline, at least I will meet her, have you overcome so many difficulties together along the way, don't you know who I am?"

Miruria lowered her head in shame, not daring to look into Fern's eyes, Enoch apologized to the mercenary sincerely, "Please forgive me, Fern, sometimes women can't understand how much men think of what they say. ”

Fern shrugged his shoulders and said no more, as the three of them rode their horses quickly, the walls of Valdosta close in sight.

The guards at the city gate stopped them for questioning, and when they learned their names, one of the soldiers, who looked like an officer, hurriedly saluted them respectfully. "Come with me, your Highness Adeline has been waiting for a long time. Then the officer mounted his horse and led the three men towards the largest stone building in the center of the city.

"It's almost as big as any capital. Fern looked at the square castle made of gray granite in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's just that there are no towers like those castles in the capital, and everything else is almost exactly the same." ”

"It looks like it's been expanded, it wasn't that big before, and this scale is definitely not as simple as rotating soldiers. Enoch looked at the castle thoughtfully. 2.8.Chinese.Text.Net

The officer jumped off his mount and informed the guard at the castle gate, then turned to the three men and said, "Let's go in and meet Her Highness Adeline, and dismount, for the groom will take your mount to the stable, and bring your salute to your room." As soon as he finished speaking, three grooms came forward and waited for them to dismount.

The castle was very clean, and the smell of rubber tree sap wafted through the air, much to Fern's surprise. "This smells of rubber trees, how can you get the sap of rubber trees here?

"Adeline's Highness will always have a way, her magic is omnipotent. The officer looked really impressed by Adeline.

Adeline...... Your Highness. Fern muttered to himself, observing his surroundings. In the hallways, some masonry was still polishing the uneven walls, and in some rooms that had not yet been fitted to the doors, Fern could see the carpenters working on the wooden windows, tables and chairs, and some rubber sap smeared on the wood that had already been made.

"Why is this area expanding? And it's a lot bigger than before. Enoch finally couldn't help but ask.

"Her Royal Highness Adeline said that there will be a lot of troops assembled here in the near future, so not only the castle, but also the barracks outside the city are also expanding. The officer turned his head and nodded slightly at Enoch.

"How many troops? How many are that? two thousand, three thousand?" Fern asked on the other side.

"Perhaps, Her Highness Adeline didn't say exactly how much, but in my experience, those barracks should be able to hold at least three thousand people. "The officer was very cooperative and answered everyone's questions.

"Three thousand, what are you going to do, rush through Magnus Fortress?" Enoch said, pouting, puzzled.

"I think it's going to be cut down in the Twilight Forest. Fern couldn't guess what Adeline was trying to do, so he simply teased.

"Her Highness Adeline will definitely have her reasons, all we need to do is follow her orders. The officer turned his head sideways and frowned at the mercenary, as if he was unhappy that he dared to make a joke about the great sage.

"Well, let's meet her and see if she can make us like you. Fern waved his hand and decided not to reason much with the officer.

The four of them stopped in front of a heavy gate, and to Fern's surprise, there were no guards at the gate, and the officer just shouted outside the gate, and then pushed the door open with all his might, and the group walked forward.

The hall was very spacious, large enough to accommodate no less than a hundred people, but at the moment, the hall was empty, except for a woman in a gorgeous mage robe sitting at the farthest end from the crowd. The four of them walked through the hall and stopped more than ten yards from the woman, and the officer knelt respectfully and saluted. "Your Royal Highness, the person you have been waiting for has arrived. ”

Adeline's gaze swept over Fern and the others, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "You have finally arrived, and although you can imagine the hardships you have encountered along the way, the Seven Gods have already told me that you will arrive safely. ”

Enoch and Miruria saluted, while Fern remained staring at Adeline. "Now that we're here, you can tell us why. ”

"Don't worry, Fern, we have a lot to say, remember the last time we met? I said we'd see each other sooner or later. Adeline waved her hand and motioned for the officer to step back first, the officer's footsteps echoing through the hall, getting farther and farther away. Then, the Great Sage pointed to the chair on the side. "Sit down and rest, and hear what I have to tell you. ”

Fern glanced at the Grand Sage and sat down in a chair on one side, Enoch on the other, and Miruria sat on his side with the warrior.

Adeline paused, and then a majestic and penetrating voice rang out. "Thanks to the help of your companion, Stan, Byron's Doyle army has taken back the Holy Water, which is a crucial victory for us to defeat the Dark Tide, although we have also paid a heavy price. The Great Sage's brow furrowed, and it was obvious that she was genuinely heartbroken. "We have lost more than a thousand brave Doyle soldiers, and ...... Morris. ”

"What?" Enoch and Miruria rose from their chairs. "Morris he ......"

"Yes, Maurice died heroically in the battle against Darktide in Sarah, and it was he who killed the commander of Darktide's army that allowed us to win this victory. Adeline's tone trembled.

"Impossible, how could Maurice die. Enoch clutched his head in disbelief and fell to his knees in pain. Miluria held her to the side, and the scout's eyes glistened with tears.

"Losing Maurice is a huge loss for Doyle and for Wallis, especially at a time when we are about to need as many fighters as possible. Adeline gathered her emotions and regained her composure.

Fern walked over and patted Enoch on the shoulder, he was also full of respect for Morris, but after all, unlike Enoch, he was more worried about the comfort of his companion at the moment. "Stan, how is he?"

"He's all right, and the mage, Nerfi, they're all right, I'm sure they're on their way here now, just going over the Twilight Forest, I don't know if they're going to be in trouble. Adeline said lightly, her nonchalant tone that made Fern feel a hint of anger.

"What the hell are you going to do? Are these all your plans? More than a thousand soldiers, and Maurice, have lost their precious lives for your plans?" Fern looked at the Great Sage with a-for-tat look.

"It was indeed my plan, but not for myself, but for Wallis. Adeline waved her hand to silence the mercenary who was about to have a seizure. "Do you know why we are expanding Valdosta, and why I want you and your companions to come here, for there will be a great battle here, and we have some things to do before the big war happens, and I must make sure that this battle is as victorious as the one in Sarah, because if we lose, we have no hope of making it back. ”

"The Great War?Is Altuna and the Dark Tide? Isn't the Dark Tide both in the east? The Magnus Fortress has not experienced a war since it was built. Fern remembered what Enoch had told him about the history of Magnus Fortress.

"But this time is different, the Dark Tide will storm the fortress of Magnus from the front, the Altuna alone will not be able to withstand this attack, we need more help, help from other kingdoms. Adeline's face was expressionless, as cold as ever, and her majestic voice echoed through the spacious hall.
