The troops were about to reach the fortress, and not far away they could already see the flag of Sun Chaser City floating in the sky.
Soldiers continued to gather at the door.
"Has Lord Theron sent the priest troops again?"
Walking to a place more than ten meters away, you can almost see the opponent's face from above.
Looking at the expression on the other side, he was a little surprised.
It was obvious that he didn't know that the troops coming this time were actually priests and paladin troops. , and so many more.
Wang Chu looked at the people around him, but there was no sign of Ain, not even the great mage who had been injured by him before.
The leader was a general who looked to be in his forties.
His military uniform and armor were worn out.
Not only the soldiers around him were almost all wearing this look.
Because he has been in hot places all year round, his face looks dark and thin, but the spear in his hand looks very sharp.
Someone in the team hurriedly ran over and whispered something to the person leading the other party.
That person should be the General Jason he called.
"It turns out to be the Archbishop.
Sorry, we didn't know it was you who came, and Sun City didn't give us any information."
After hearing that the person coming was Benedictus, the general's attitude suddenly changed.
"It doesn't matter, are these your troops?"
Walking to the entrance of the fortress, this is almost a small town.
The entrance is made of iron plates.
There are various iron tools on both sides to prevent siege.
There are many shabby houses built inside.
It should be This is where the soldiers usually live.
I seem to see some vegetable gardens and the like around.
Oh, these border guards who are stationed here all year round also need to eat.
Although Zhuri City is not far away, it is impossible to deliver food every day.
They will also grow some vegetables on their own, just like Old Gray in the Imperial City.
"Yes, Archbishop, but there are about 8,000 people in our group.
They are in various places around.
Look at which side is closest."
He pointed to a hilltop opposite.
The mountains here are very gentle, and they are very close to each other.
The distance is not far, but as a defense line, there must be guard towers, fortresses and other facilities everywhere.
"You, please go in first, Archbishop."
The guarding general on the border seemed not used to chatting with such a high-level figure.
His speech seemed a bit hesitant.
He called everyone he saw general, even when he saw Rias and Lu Someone as young as Thea.
She probably couldn't understand the military rank sword that Rias was carrying.
"Since we have arrived at the border today, we will rest here tonight and learn more about the situation in the wilderness.
Rias, please come and organize all the troops in that platoon."
Benedictus said.
They have been walking all day, and many people are already exhausted.
Rias nodded in agreement.
Looking at this bare mountain top, I guess this fortress is not big enough for so many people to live in.
Moreover, looking at the bad situation inside, it is so bad that nothing on the border can be ignored.
The wires at the door are all rusty and there is still no one.

No matter, there is also a lot of animal hair garbage on the ground.
She ordered Nicos to have everyone pull up the camp near the fortress according to their usual camping habits.
The sky was gradually turning into dusk, but what was special was that there was not a single cloud in the wilderness sky, and the golden sun was still hanging on the horizon.
At a glance, you can't even see the edge of the grass below.
Um Wang Chu looked closely at the wilderness in the distance, and there seemed to be animals.
"Is everything okay, Nicos?"
Rias suddenly interrupted her.
"Everything is arranged.
We can set up the camp before late night.
The soldiers on the border have sent wood and food for dinner.
We will arrange it."
"Well, that's it.
I'll go to the command post of the fortress first."
After the matter here came to an end, Rias and Lucia went to the previously agreed place together.
Wang Chu was still looking in the direction of the wilderness.
Why are the animals suddenly gone again?
Are they hiding?
The dense yellow grass has almost become a natural barrier.
If you don't look carefully, the animals will disappear if you don't pay attention.
"Cam, what are you looking at?"
Rias seemed to notice that she was looking into the distance, and she followed her gaze.
That's the direction of the wilderness.
"So this is the wilderness."
The ordinary Lucia said, but the tone was obviously different from what she expected.
Indeed, there is nothing else to be seen except a pile of weeds and trees.
Of course, there are occasionally some animal carcasses, whether they are dead or leftover by soldiers who went out to hunt.
The whole environment gives people a feeling of being deserted, and the mountains in the distance are also bare.
But this is the doorway into the wilderness.
I don’t know what else lies in the deeper places.
"It's a bit unexpected.
I've never seen a place like mine.
It looks dead and quiet, which makes people uncomfortable."
She didn't expect Rias to feel like this.
Walking down the hill, there is an inner tunnel, which was dug manually.
There is an iron guardrail at the bottom, which is used as a protective prop.
However, it seems that it has not been used much, and many places are already rusty.
Rias and Lucia walked towards the fortress.
The command post is not inside the fortress, but in a larger watchtower at the front.
"General."
The soldiers guarding the door shouted neatly after seeing the two coming.
Entering the door, you are met by the paladin lady Akara.
Her expression seems not to be good.
"What's wrong, Alaka, are you not used to the environment here?"
The other person shook his head.
"No, Ain leads them."

Speaking of the news about Ain and the others, the two immediately became energetic.
Wang Chu also pricked up his ears.
We have already arrived at the border, but we haven't seen them.
Where are those people going?
"What happened to Commander Ain?"
"They have been in the wilderness for several days and have not returned.
General Jason was about to send people to find them, and we happened to meet them."
She said with a look of frustration on her expression.
Missing again How could it be possible?
He was not a novice like Henry.
In Wang Chu's opinion, Ain's strength was not weaker than his current werewolf state.
He disappeared no matter what.
At this moment, Jielin and the archbishop came over.
"This is General Rias of the Imperial City, Lucifer, and Commander Ain both belong to the same family."
A somewhat slovenly beard smiled at the two of them.
Although he doesn't look very good, his figure is very strong, and the veins on his arms can be seen with the naked eye.
"What happened to Commander Ain":
