Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Night Fortress

It was already dusk, only the burning logs lit up the battlefield, and it seemed that because this round of siege had no significant results, the goblins also felt tired, and the bear goblins began to retreat slowly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Countless corpses and the smell of blood blown by the wind were left on the battlefield.

"Just hold on!"

"I want to grow more luxuriant next year?!"

After slaying a War-level bear goblin again, the unknown halfling general swung away the dark green blood stains from his dagger, sat down on the arrow tower, and slowly picked up a slashing cigar.

The pale blue smoke rose up, and it seemed that there were souls flying in this smoke, conjuring up various shapes, pegasus, giant wolves, and so on.

But it didn't last long, and a cigar burned less than a third of the time, and a herald rode a bloody dog from the inside of the city walls.

"General Katyusha!

"Please return to Command quickly!"

The plain of the grass is located in the middle of the hobbit, at the junction of the two halfling cities of [Mona Harbor], [Rytrick] and [Kadai Mountain], the terrain is flat, the water and grass are abundant, and the best grass is abundant, even if the quality of the grass is still higher than that of other areas even if it is untended in the wild.

As a result, this 50,000-square-kilometre plain, densely populated with halfling farms and villages, is one of the most important places for the Hobbit to create wealth.

In recent weeks, however, the ravages of goblins have turned the once-prosperous plains into a barren land like a plague of locusts, and the halflings who had lived here have either fled elsewhere or been filled with goblins, and the farms and villages that dotted the plains have long since been reduced to rubble, leaving only the inedible grass to spread across the plain in a wild state untended.

"Go ahead, don't stop!"

"Meet the enemy!"

Entering the Plain of Cutting Grass, all members of the Fortress Legion always maintained a full speed of movement, and as long as they did not encounter wandering goblins, Arnold Claudius would not take the initiative to attack, but asked the warriors to advance in silence.

Except for four hours of rest every day, the rest of the time is spent on the road, and the fact that the Heroic Warriors do not need food and drink greatly improves the efficiency of the journey, so when the legion arrives at its destination, it is only that the upper echelons of the legion such as Scott are slightly thin and tired, and the combat power of the entire legion is not damaged.

"This is it!"

Slowly rolling up the simple map in his hand, Arnold Claudius looked at the mountains in front of him that were pronounced "Kadai", which means "towering", in the language of the halfling, and showed a faint smile.

At this moment, they are in an unnamed valley in the [Kadai Mountain], with towering peaks of thousands of meters on both sides and behind, and the entire gourd-shaped valley has only a narrow entrance nearly 100 meters wide to connect with the outside world, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is an excellent place to set up camp.

If it weren't for the fact that Maury's airship had passed by here, and the good thing Maury recorded it on the navigation map of the alchemy airship, Scott and the others would never have found such a place.

This valley is found through Mori's map.

"It's up to you, Lord of the Stronghold, Scott. ā€

"No problem. ā€

"[Earth Shock]!"

"[Foundation Remodeling]!"

Scott walked briskly to the midpoint of the valley and motioned for everyone to get out of the valley, then he raised his hand of darkness and slammed it down in the middle of the valley.

Violent tremors rang out from the depths of the earth, and the rocks and soil in the valley pulsed and reversed themselves, turning everything on the ground into the depths of the earth, including the corpses of the thousands of goblins that had lived in the valley.

"[Stronghold Summon]!"

"[Materialization of Architecture]!"

Countless points of light flew out of Scott's body, turning into transparent buildings on the level of the valley floor, and then gradually materializing. Barracks, blacksmiths, gladiatorial arenas, special buildings that originally existed on the fortress plane, just like this, quietly stood in the valley from nothing.

There were even some soul fragments that turned into the thick walls and gates of the fortress, firmly sealing the entrance to the valley at the mouth of the gourd.

Then, the buildings that had just been condensed began to glow, and work began immediately.

怂怂怂怂怂怂

The soul fragments obtained from entering the Hobbit were all invested in the construction of the fortress building by Scott after excluding the summoning of the Heroic Warriors, and when the first stage of the fortress building was completed, Scott was surprised to find that he had quietly added a skill to his status catalog.

"Stronghold Skill: [Summoning Stronghold]. ā€

After all this at this moment, Scott lay on the ground in the middle of the valley, completely unable to move.

But he wasn't tired, he was because of something else.

"Summoning a Fortress: Summoning a Fortress to the Main Material Plane, Consumes None, and the Lord of the Fortress needs to suffer from the rejection between the planes. ā€

"Damn it!"

"Thorion, didn't you say that the power of repulsion between planes would be so great!"

As the fortress took shape, the old dwarf Thorion also appeared beside Scott like a real person, looking at Scott who was suppressed on the ground and unable to move, the old dwarf shook his head helplessly.

"That just shows you're too weak, Scott!"

"This is only the repulsive force between the fortress and the main matter plane in the first stage, and as the level of the fortress increases, this repulsive force will also increase dramatically, and it will increase by about ten times for each level of advancement. ā€

"It's time for you to increase your strength!"

"Otherwise, if you have an empty fortress and can't use it, you'll make all the Mithril Society members laugh off their big teeth. ā€

With a slight wave of his hand, the light puppet beside the old dwarf immediately transformed into a thin flying carpet, wrapped Scott's body, and slowly flew into the gladiatorial arena.

"However, many Stronghold Lords use [Summoning Fortress] for the first time, and it may be an opportunity for you. ā€

"Before you get up, I'll say to Arnold Claudius and Kiana Moon Shadow that you feel too weak to hold everyone back. ā€

"So, I went for special training. ā€

Lying on the flying carpet, Scott could only roll his eyes helplessly, except for his mouth and eyes, Scott's whole body seemed to be wrapped in an invisible, but extremely heavy metal armor, not only could not move his limbs, but even every breath had to use all his strength.

However, he did not refuse, indeed as the old dwarf said, his strength is indeed a little weak at the moment, although he is at the bottom of the guard rank, and he can defeat the enemy at the bottom of the war rank under the premise of a sudden outbreak.

But relying on outbursts every time is not kingly.

So he acquiesced to the old dwarf's approach and let the flying carpet send him into the gladiatorial arena.
