The last line of defense is made up of a fortress with some terrain and buildings.

The ability to defend can be ...... Almost no.

After the start of the Holy War, it has been used as the starting point for various supply lines.

Demons have never attacked here, so the defenses here are weak, and there is no room for defense.

Between the last line of defense and the volcanic fortress was a variety of fields, orchards, and woods, from which almost all the soldiers of the jihad came from their food sources.

It is also the most populous.

Most of the soldiers were gathered here, trained in these places, and then assigned to the various corps and taken to their respective defensive areas.

Kane: They came to the only fortress of the last line of defense.

It is said that it is a fortress, and if it were not for the tall stone walls on the perimeter, it would not be a small city, and there would be nothing wrong with saying it.

All civilians were evacuated here due to the 2nd line of defense.

The entire fortress was already crowded with homeless civilians.

Kane, with his teammates, stood on the wall and looked at the area inside the defensive line.

As far as the eye can see, there are wheat farms and orchards in the distance.

The bright sunlight spreads over the earth, warm and cozy.

There was no smell of war here, as if everyone was at peace and there were no demons outside.

Sacrem led with a few guards from the other end of the wall towards Kane.

"Commander Kane, let's not stop here, let's go straight to the volcanic fortress."

Kane turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.

"This last line of defense is simply not capable of defense, and the order from the Commander has come down to take us with these civilians directly to the rear of the volcanic rampart. ”

It seems that there is a reason why the humans here have been able to fight the demon Ao for hundreds of years, and there is no luck.

Once the best judgment is made, it will never be delayed and executed quickly.

At first, Kane thought that these people would stubbornly defend in the last line of defense, until they were beaten or had no choice but to retreat.

I didn't expect it to be so decisive.

But that's what Kane wants to see.

Once everyone has retreated to the volcanic fortress, it will be the final battle when the demons attack again.

After Kane's efforts during this time, all the living forces that can be saved, they have all been saved.

Maintain the current strength, and finally Kane and them will carry out the decapitation operation, and the chances of winning the decisive battle are definitely not small.

Listening to Saklem's words, Kane nodded and replied, "Then let's go." ”

Mounted on their horses, the soldiers had already formed a formation, while civilians and all sorts of goods had already rushed in the direction of the volcanic fortress.

As for the civilians in the last line of defense, they had already begun to retreat as early as the second line of defense, when they received the news that they would be attacked in a big way.

Most of them have now been moved to the rear of the volcanic ramparts.

Now only Shakrem, the soldiers who were stalling for time, and the soldiers who had come to meet them.

And, of course, the civilians who are grinding.

The long procession was very long, several kilometers long.

The soldiers were still moving back and forth throughout the ranks, maintaining order.

Kane and the others were at the back of the line, moving slowly.

Take in the surrounding scenery along the way.

A place that has never been ravaged by demons in a hundred years.

The various vegetation and building environments are extremely well preserved, and there is no smell of blood rancid in the air.

……

Just stop and go

The next day at noon.

Kane: They finally saw the volcano in the distance.

The top of the volcano reaches into the sky, and you can faintly see that it is covered with snow.

Even from this distance, you can see traces of human architecture at the foot of the mountain.

Approaching this range, and being able to see that there are guard towers at intervals along the way, each with a team of offensive and defensive soldiers.

At the top of the watchtower, there is also a brazier that has not been burned, which is supposed to be used to inform the enemy of the distance in the rear.

From time to time, you can see two teams of cavalry wearing elite armor, patrolling around.

Judging by how well equipped the soldiers were, and the magical reaction Kane saw from them.

Each team's cavalry has a silver mana reaction, and this kind of squad can almost kill a demon.

The soldiers of the Volcanic Fortress are much more elite than Kai expected.

Finally, Kane and the others saw the volcanic fortress in its entirety.

The entire volcano is set in the middle of a low mountain range, and the fortress is built around the front of the volcano.

The only way to the rear was to reach the rear by narrow roads on both sides of the volcano, but the fort was built to extend two sections of walls to seal off the entire road.

If the demons want to wreak havoc on the rear, they must take the volcanic fortress.

However, the demon's purpose was originally this volcano, and the demon overseers were sealed in the volcano.

It is said that the entire fortress built around the volcano is above the seal, which means that the entire fortress must be destroyed in order to release the Demon Overseers.

The city wall is more than ten meters high, and the city wall is densely packed with various engineering equipment.

The soldiers standing guard on the city walls alone already amounted to half of the soldiers in Kane's team.

There are still various traps that have been dug under the city wall, and it can be seen from the extent of these traps that they have just been dug in the past few days, and there are still many soldiers and civilians digging again.

The civilians escorted in front did not stop when they entered the huge central city gate, but headed for the rear of the volcano through the narrow roads on both sides.

The soldiers all stayed in the volcanic fortress.

Subsequently, under the command of the clerk, the soldiers were divided into different camps according to their respective teams and regiments to rest.

Sakrem led Kane and the Holy Maiden to the headquarters in the center of the fortress.

The command was built on the mountainside of the volcano.

The path to the headquarters is full of stairs and ramps upward.

Along the way, Kane felt the gaze hidden in the shadows everywhere, and the humans hidden everywhere in the buildings.

Is it so heavily guarded?

Kane was about to arrive at the headquarters when he realized that there was a tall cylindrical mage tower floating in mid-air beneath the headquarters.

Due to the close proximity of the Mage Tower to the ground and the obstruction of various buildings around it, Kane has not been able to see it until now.

A flash of light flashed from the top of the Mage Tower, and Kane could feel it, a wave of magic sweeping through their bodies.

It seems to be identifying them.
