Chapter 5 The Forge Fortress

After seeing Aklan leading the puppet army to start heading towards the Whispering Forest, Ling Xiao also brought his personnel to the Hell Furnace in the center of the Whispering Forest.

The Hell Furnace is a lava lake with a diameter of one kilometer. The dark red magma rolls in the lake all year round. The bubbles that rise from time to time spew out black smoke after bursting. This is the passage from Hell to the mainland. At this time, a demon army had gathered below the furnace. Just wait for the invisible seal above to be eliminated, they would kill them in one fell swoop.

A circle of tall city walls have been built around the Hell Furnace by elves and guardian knights. After 3,000 years of continuous reinforcement, the wall of this city wall is 100 meters wide and forty meters high. Every distance there is a protruding diamond castle, covered with heavy crossbows and a small mage tower. The city wall has a drop of nearly fifty meters from the lake surface. If it weren't for the high temperature that makes it difficult for plants to survive, the elves would have planned to plant a layer of thorns on the wall. But even so, this circle of city walls is the strongest city defense in the entire continent. It prevents the demons exposed from being sealed from entering the continent and protects the continent for 3,000 years of peaceful life. Now it will become the first line of defense for the continent's race to fight against demons.

Grand Duke Edward led 300,000 coalition forces to come here because he knew that this city wall allowed the continental race to retain the last advantage in the war against the demons. If the city defense was lost, the coalition forces would have to use their ** to fight against the many powerful individual demons. Grand Duke knew how powerful the demons were. Even the lowest-level flaming demons were not something that the singular human soldiers could fight against. Although he had the elite of the entire continent, it was not enough to fight a regular war with the demons.

At this time, the soldiers of the coalition army had already climbed the city wall. The one hundred meters wide wall made the space above very spacious. Not only could they be equipped with heavy city guarding equipment, but the cavalry could also run on it in a squad mode. With the joint efforts of the Grand Duke and his general, soldiers of various races had already been matched and began to be responsible for the defense of the area. Now the number of demons exposed from the seal has increased significantly, but it just made the coalition soldiers familiar with how to fight against the demons with the assistance of the elves and the guardian knights.

With such a great city wall, after experiencing the battle to easily kill demons, the morale of the coalition soldiers was very high. They praised the Supreme King for looking so long that after 3,000 years of his passing, he left a fortress for the mainland that would never fall.

The commanders were not as optimistic as the lower-level soldiers because they had to consider the threat from outside the city wall.

Although the continent is now in an unprecedented unity in the face of the threat of hell, it may not be without the fallen souls that were lured by demons like beasts. In fact, a large amount of intelligence proves that these fallen people have invaded the Whispering Forest and lurked nearby. The demon's threat makes the elves unable to provide enough people to patrol the Whispering Forest that were previously firmly controlled by them, and the betrayal of the fallen elves has also caused the elves to lose the environmental advantages they have always possessed.

"The number of those fallen people will not be very large, and being tempted by demons must be the unsteady guys. In fact, most of them are wandering creatures in the wild. They will not make large-scale moves before the demons gain an advantage. All they can do is do is to do a little trick in our battle with the demons. Now the Hell Furnace Guardian Knights and the Elves form a patrol force, and we can ensure the safety of the coalition's rations. I think as long as we are careful, the fallen people will not cause us much trouble."

The person who spoke was a knight wrapped in full body armor. He was the current leader of the Hell Furnace Guardian Knights. All members of the Hell Furnace Guardian Knights are lifelong. They were established according to the orders of the Supreme King and guarded this furnace fortress for the rest of their lives. His descendants will continue to inherit their mission and become a qualified guardian knight under hard training.

The Hell Furnace Guardian Knights are organized to have 5,000 people. If this number is not reached, they will apply to the ancient guardian families outside to increase their personnel through the elves, and those ancient guardian families will send some orphans here. Therefore, the guardian Knights have always maintained a strong combat power during these 3,000 years.

No one knows the Whispering Forest better than the guardian Knights and the Elves, so Grand Duke Edward was very relieved to hand over the food of the coalition forces to them. But Grand Duke was not only worried about the Fallen, but...

"I'm more worried about the Black Dragon Clan than the Fallen. In the Ruby War, the Black Dragons were obviously serving the demons. If they attacked us from the air while we were fighting with the demons, the coalition could not resist attacks from both sides at the same time. Although our human race had griffins, you should know that griffins would never compete with the dragon for the sky."

Grand Duke Edward expressed his concerns, and the old elf speaker said, "I heard that you defeated the black dragon in Ruby City. The legendary hell warriors were descendants of the Hell coalition after following the Supreme King to fight for the Hells. They were extremely powerful and could drive the steel giant. The dragon breath of the black dragon was a flame that could be blown out at will in front of them. The black dragon's power was like a child in front of them. Princess Fengyu, a descendant of the elf royal family, easily subdued a black dragon. Where are they now? We need them to help us resist the threats of demons and black dragons. The elves need our royal family to re-establish our kingdom."

"I don't know," Grand Duke Edward responded respectfully to the words of the Elf Speaker. Every elves are strong, and this Speaker who has led the Elf for nearly a thousand years has a daunting power. "Half Lingxiao took the Hell brave men away after the Ruby War. When they left, they said they would return to hell to continue fighting with the demons, but he also promised to come back before the demons broke through the seal and fight side by side with us."

Without waiting for the elves to speak, the dwarf on the other side said first: "I don't believe in hell bravery. During the Supreme King period, our dwarf heroes also participated in the coalition forces attacking hell. Why are there five human races and one elves among the hell braves that appeared, but there are no dwarfs? This must be made up by your human race and elves to inspire soldiers to fight against the demons. This method is indeed good, but we dwarfs have joined in, so there should be a dwarf among the hell warriors. The brave man with shields agrees with the image of our dwarfs. What is his name?"

The troll also said: "Yes, we trolls should also have hell heroes. A hero will make our warriors more combative. Among the Hell braves, there is a woman who controls powerful long-range weapons, which is very consistent with our troll pitcher..."
