Harding and the others didn't believe Payne's words at first, but it was only after dawn that they completely believed Payne's words when they approached Hardin himself and promised to escort the team to the Northside Fortress.
In the carriage, Faronk and Payne, along with another demon hunter, were in the same carriage, and the three of them were talking happily as if they had not seen each other in a long time.
Fallonk gushed about what he had seen, while Payne listened intently across from him, interjecting from time to time to ask a few questions.
"Alright, it's your turn, Payne. Faronk said.
"Well, I'd say it's more effective to use magic on yourself than on weapons,......ć Payne spoke eloquently.
His idea was to set himself up as a conductor of mana, and of course as a carrier, so that even when he didn't have a weapon, he could unleash magic like a magician.
Of course, these are just his conjectures, and whether they can be realized is another matter. But Faronk and the other demon hunter were willing to hear it.
It can be said that the Awakened are not much different from ordinary people without equipment, and the gap between them is not half a star compared to magicians, so they are very interested in any way that is possible to break through the shackles. It's much better than figuring it out on your own.
on another carriage.
"How did this kid Penn convince them?" Bailey looked puzzled, "Could it be that he paid out of his own pocket?"
"We can't pretend we don't know about it," said Aacrylic, "and if that's the case, we'll have to give him some compensation." ā
He paused, and couldn't help laughing, "But I still admire his courage very much, and even thought of making a deal with demon hunters, this courage is really not something ordinary people can have." ā
"The fearless are fearless, and I think Payne's courage comes from fearlessness. Harding laughed.
......
Holy Light 1890, February 20, winter solstice, 2 p.m.
After nineteen days of water and road trekking, Payne and his party and the convoy of supplies arrived at the city of the northern fortress.
What catches everyone's eye is a fortress that looks like a towering embankment.
The northern fortress stretches from Mount Mirdara in the west to the Zangjin Mountain Range in the east, with a total length of seventy-two miles and a height of one hundred and thirty yards.
"Oh my God! this is the Fortress of the North?"
"How did the walls of the fortress be built?
"Of course not," Bailey replied to everyone's questions, "This is the multi-racial alliance army built over a thousand years, and it not only symbolizes the greatness of the alliance army, but also shows our determination to resist the demons, so...... We should be grateful for all that the pioneers have done. ā
"Long live the pioneers!" someone shouted.
"The pioneers are already buried in the ground, man. ā
"Haha....... ā
"Cheer up!" said Harding, "we're ready to go into town!"
At that moment, there was a sound of machine turning in the city wall, and three huge defensive gates slowly rose one after another, and a group of fully armored Union soldiers walked out of the city gate.
"Welcome to the Northern Confederate Fortress, hello, Harding, it's been a hard journey. A man in Union armor spoke.
"Hello, Vera, I hope we arrived in time. Harding laughed.
"Of course, you're a day ahead of schedule," Captain Vera shook his head, "Let's go, let's go to the city." ā
At this time, the three gates had already opened, and although they were only less than a third of the way, this height was enough for the giants to pass through.
Passing through the wide passage of the city wall, the scene in front of them once again surprised everyone. -- This is a city whose prosperity is unmatched even that of a city of advancement.
The spacious plaza is the size of a football field, and in the center of the square is a huge statue about five stories high, a woman with four pairs of wings on her back.
"Who's that?" Payne asked Bailey, who was beside him.
"The god of light, Para Kermereth Prion," said Bailey, with excitement in his eyes, "this is only one of the three major squares, and the main square is much grander, but it is the residence of the Holy See, and it is difficult for us to enter. ā
"God of Light?" Payne suddenly felt a sense of resonance with the god when he saw this statue, but it was also possible that this statue was too shocking and made his heart too excited.
At this moment, he was suddenly full of curiosity about this world, - how many magical mysteries are there in this world?
The square is surrounded by rows of low-rise buildings, but some are as tall as three stories, and there are no less than hundreds of shops around the square, such as blacksmiths, potions, armor shops, dwarven shops, magic shops, and so on.
When the escort team bypassed the square and headed to the city alliance garrison, many people questioned why there were so many shops here.
Payne was puzzled by this, but they quickly got an answer.
It turned out that these shops were from various Allied countries, and the shops not only sold weapons and equipment, but also bought them as well. You must know that the casualties from a big battle are a huge number, so those damaged armor equipment that have been picked up naturally need to be repaired and purchased.
Payne suddenly remembered the torn armor in the Uzi shop, and now it seemed that most of them should have come from the Divine Punishment Battlefield.
Bypassing the square, the team made a beeline for the Union Army's logistics department, where they lined up to receive the rest of their pay after carrying the supplies into storage.
In addition to the forty silver coins per person, there were five more silver coins per person for this mission, and according to Harding, the brothers needed to relax.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone really felt that the commander-in-chief was still quite approachable.
After that, there is the question of accommodation arrangements, they will stay in the fortress until the spring solstice, and when the battle of divine punishment is over, they will leave the fortress with the large group of the alliance army, so they still have ten days to see the final battle of the battle of divine punishment.
After arranging their accommodations, many people could not contain their excitement and curiosity, and they walked through the city and came to the city wall near the battlefield.
