The Grantham Fortress was also not peaceful. They had noticed something strange half a month ago. A deep-water monster that emerged from somewhere occupied the underground lake, which was the water source between the entire fortress and the nearby dwarf city. The underground pathway was also cut off due to this. The Revenge and the Dwarf sent people three times, but they all returned in vain because they could not fight underwater.

When the watchtower sentry reported to Black that the Watchtower army was approaching the fortress, he was about to order the order of the ready-to-go Knights to go out for inspection.

"After a long time, they actually made such a big noise." Adjutant Harper took off his helmet. He was going to lead a bunch of elite armored knights to check it out, but this caused trouble and came to him.

As a member of the Revenge Army with Black, Harper knew the grudge between his boss and Alex. Because of his disagreement, the two had many disputes at Longyan Fort, so after Longyan Fort was captured, Black resolutely led the Revenge Army back to the Great Hall. Even though he "borrowed" Grantham in the Befest territory as the garrison, the two never met. All matters were entrusted to himself as an adjutant.

"What are you going to do?" With their bad relationship, it is possible that even Black refuses to open the door.

"Alex has always been in a disagreement with me. He will come to Grantham, which shows that the problem is so serious that he has no choice." As early as before Longyan Fortress was captured, Black got along with Alex very unhappy. He couldn't stand the commander who always huddled in fortifications. He had the chance to defeat the orcs because of his greed for so-called "peace" to lay the root of the fortifications.

"Oh~" Harper gestured to the sentry who had been waiting for the order. He immediately ran back to his post and conveyed the order to the guards at the gate.

The winch creaked, and the heavy iron gate was lifted up little by little. Leaded by Gonzalez, the three giants of Watch Fort, Alex and Abigail, rode into the horse. Behind them were infantry and civilians covered in mud.

After entering the fortress abandoned by the nobles, the Revenge Army continued to expand and built a city wall worth more than ten meters high to resist the dead. With the protection of the city wall, the frightened civilians along the way finally felt safe, and they hugged each other and comforted each other.

This is the first time Gonzalez has seen the leader of the Revenge Army in a decade. Black, who is nearly 60 years old, still looks not much different from his youth. The gods will keep the clergy young and allow him to fight in his best condition.

"Beast Duke." According to etiquette, Black first greeted the nominal ruler of Beast, and then turned his attention to the substantial controller, Commander Alex. This title is still exclusive to the stubborn old man even after Longyan Fort no longer exists for decades. "What happened? Can the Commander be condescending to me?"

Alex frowned and said something that made Black, who originally wanted to laugh at him, looked positive: "The undead will launch a large-scale attack on the rising sea water."

People are used to describing the pillar of water as a "high tide" when it prevails. Every time the undead will launch a surprise attack with the help of the water. The seven dead princes fell under such large-scale offensives. Those with higher terrain will be besieged, while those with lower terrain will be directly submerged.

Is it a coincidence that Black thought of the monster that occupied the water source?

He nodded at Harper, and the adjutant immediately rushed to the trait messaging stone placed in the captain's room, which was a magic prop that could directly call the headquarters of the Chenxi Sect.

Although the various types of Thums can accommodate tens of thousands of people after the expansion, the Revenge Army all lived in the center of the fortress, that is, the original city gate. Vagrants and refugees lived in the shanty towns within the second wall, and the outermost periphery was the outer contour that was completely built two years ago. It was used to resist the dead. It was circular and narrow. Under Harper's dispatch, civilians entered the shanty towns, and soldiers stayed in the outer contour to camp, barely rested all the people.

The soldiers of the Watch Fort who were already accustomed to camping began to move. They had to set up a tent before dark.

After crossing the three men, officers and nobles, Blake walked straight towards a familiar figure.

He had a bad relationship with Alex, but he respected the old dwarf who established Longyan Fort with Befast. Because Dante didn't want the outside world to know his whereabouts, he was watching the fort, except for the senior officers. Most people didn't know that this dwarf who could live in a white tent that symbolized special guests was the famous blacksmith master. Black was not inconvenient to call his name, and only replaced it with the word "Master".

"Well." Dante nodded. He was neutral towards the Revenge, and he didn't like it very much, and he couldn't be considered unhateful.

Black couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as his eyes fell on the young man lying on the horse's back.

He had seen wheat-colored skin and slightly flat facial features before, and was from the exile place. He was specially placed by his side. Could it be the lifeweaver?

Huh...what is that?

Bright found that the young man was holding a strange object in his right hand, saying it was a weapon, but it also looked like an extended fork. Driven by curiosity, he reached out to touch it.

"Blake!" Dante, who was choosing a suitable address for the tent, did not hear the steps of the Revenge Commander leaving. When he turned around, he saw him trying to touch Link's weapon and stopped drinking.

In just three short words, the tone contained anxiousness and worry, and Bright stopped in time.

What's special about this person? Is it worth Dante's concern?

Just as he felt strange, Gonzalez came over and his eyes fell on the young man, Black immediately understood.

It turned out to be the old acquaintance of the Grand Duke...

"Captain Black." Seeing the leader of the Revenge Army standing next to Tulink's horse, Gonzalez's heart suddenly jumped. Could it be that he could see something? Whether it is an illusion or a real world, the relationship between the first gods is not harmonious. The morning light represents good and order, and the night represents evil and chaos. The four elements are sandwiched in the middle and do not stand in a row. However, since the pillar of water has been polluted and tilted into chaos. In order to calm down and balance the world, the pillar of earth has joined the ranks of order. The morning light and the night are fighting to win over the remaining two elements. This struggle from the gods has even been transmitted to believers. If the Revenge Army knows Link's identity, it will be worse than Alex knows.

"This is your familiarity over there." Blake said intentionally or unintentionally that Gonzalez's heartbeat continued to rise.

"Yes, I didn't expect him to come too." It was already seen through, and it was meaningless to continue to pretend to be stupid.

"Which god is it a believer?"

Gonzalez stopped talking and knew that he couldn't ask anything, so Black left on excuse.

"It won't be hidden for a long time." Dante told the truth. The son of nature has obvious characteristics. He was revealed in just a few days. "How do you plan to place him?"

Gonzalez sighed. To be honest, he hasn't figured it out yet. Sending Link away is the best way, but except for the guardian land, his identity is too sensitive and too troublesome.

Seeing his face full of embarrassment, Dante suggested sending it to Sand.

Gonzalez was stunned, "Don't you want them to know that you are here?"

"Compared with him, it's not going to be trouble." At the beginning, Dent, who was tired of endless struggles with the night elves and yearned for the ground, left his hometown and stayed on the ground where humans dominated the territory for too long, he no longer wanted to go back. So after Longyan Fort fell, he asked Alex to send a letter he had left to Sand City. Now, for the sake of this big trouble in front of him, he had to reveal his whereabouts.

Gonzalez was mixed with thoughts, "Let's talk about it when he wakes up."

He put up the four corners of the tent, and opened the magic item made by the former great sage who had been deified by gods. Dante reinstalled the dismantled wooden door outside the curtain. When he opened the door, he was still his spacious and bright dwarf hammer house inside.

Just as he worked with Gonzalez to move Link into the house, the dwarf frowned when he looked at the darkened sky.

Compared to meeting the enemy in the wilderness and retreating to Grantham Fortress only reduces casualties. Even if Xindu receives a message, it will take at least ten days to arrive. Can we survive ten days here under the shortage of food and the undead's sleepless siege?

Leaving from Dante, Gonzalez returned to the tent that had been set up by his guards, with Alex facing away from him and standing in front of the continent map drawn with magic.

After staring at his straight back for a few seconds, Gonzalez sat on the chair beside him, buried his face in his hand, waiting for the scolding that was about to begin. But after waiting for a long time, Alex did not move at all. He couldn't help but open his eyes.

"Don't even explain?" Alex finally spoke, "Since you are deliberately concealing his identity, you should send it far away."

"He just arrived here, and he didn't know anything and didn't adapt."

"Hmph, you care more about him than me."

"He is my friend, my only friend here."

Alex slammed the table, "I am your grandfather, the only relative!"

"But do you treat me as a relative?" Gonzalez couldn't help but burst out. "When I promised, I didn't expect to be reborn as a voter. I just want to be an ordinary person and live my life quietly and peacefully."

"But you are born, so you should accept reality. This is not a place of exile without war!"

"Yes, I accepted it! Life is a gift from God, and I am grateful no matter what, but... the person who really makes me unhappy is you, grandfather, you! I am not interested in power, I don't care if you want to be in power, but you have to control even before you wait for life. From reading books, to learning what kind of knowledge, from wet nurses to teachers, you have arranged it for me, without a playmate, and you are not allowed to keep pets. What do you think I am? A puppet named Befest? I am not an immature child, I am a person who is reborn with memories of my previous life, and I am fifty years old in the two lives together!"

The more I talked about it, the more excited I became. Gonzalez rarely expressed his thoughts so clearly since he was ten years old.

"This is what you want to say. I am really disappointed. I only have such insights when I am fifty. I am really short-sighted. I don't know what you did there to make the gods decide to reborn in this world. You are indeed right. You shouldn't be born in such a family, nor can you bear the expectations of the family and everyone." After hearing Gonzalez's complaint, Alex replied coldly.

"Stop attacking him, Commander Alex." Gonzalez said toughly about Alex's disadvantage to Link.

"I really didn't expect that your first tough guy was for outsiders."

"Shuanghan's life box in the exile land was broken by him. Are you going to destroy the hope of mankind?"

Alex stopped and looked back at Gonzalez with a steady look: "I thought you would be that hope."

What does it mean? Just when Gonzalez was stunned, Alex had already left quickly. Outside the tent, he ordered Henry to remove the surveillance of Link and was heard, and Gonzalez was shocked and puzzled.

What is this? I won’t pursue it for the time being?

Henry lifted the curtain and entered the tent. He restored the Grand Duke's escort and reported to Gonzalez that the undead appeared.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Awakened from the darkness. Link felt sore all over his body. He raised his upper body and looked around. Is this obviously Dante's forging? Why am I here?

The fire was still burning, there was no figure in front of the iron pier, and the warehouse hidden in the wall was not open. Link got up from the blanket on the floor. He felt like he was holding something in his right hand. When he looked down, he found that it was the fury of the storm. Without the radiating lightning, the sword was just a big tuning fork.

Looking back on his previous memories, Link remembered his one-on-one battle with the leader of the Death Knight. He only thought about speeding up constantly. He was at a disadvantage and cut off the opponent's palm, and the other Death Knights launched a charge. Then... he didn't know.

How come you can't remember it?

Putting away the storm's rage, Link walked out of the special space built by the magic tent. This was a circular city wall, with a stone wall of more than ten meters high blocking the view.

Have you arrived at that Gray or Gray Fortress? But why is it empty?

There are tents all around, some of which are only half-stacked, and some are placed on the ground before they are laid.

Where are the people? There are thousands of people in the Watch Castle, plus the people in the fortress, didn’t they say there were ten thousand? Where did they go?

Link was a little panicked. Even if the undead died of siege, there must be a corpse, right?

Suddenly, the shouts of killing sounded above his head. As soon as he looked up, he saw dense arrows falling down and quickly retreated to Dante's tent.

The sound of metal dinging was endless. When the attack passed, Link stretched his head and saw that the people were all on the city wall, and they were covered in darkness. Just as he was about to go out, Dante rushed in and saw him standing at the door and pulling his arm out.

"You're awake, come with me!"

“Where to go?”

"Sand City."

I haven't heard of it. Link asked where it was, but Dante replied, "The Dwarf City is below the fortress."

"The undead is sieging the city, but you let me escape?" Not seeing a skeleton or dead body does not mean that you cannot feel the strong dead aura in the air.

Dante, who was pulled to the ground, glared at Link fiercely. It was really troublesome. For the sake of his death, this kid was not happy.

"Where is Gonzalez? He left too? Talk!"

"All the living are fighting above, and the civilians have retreated along the underground passage. You are the last non-warfareman."

Non-combatant, me?

Summoning Wrath, Link wants to help. From the showdown with the Death Knight, you can see how tragic and cruel the battle between the undead is. How could he leave his friends and people in need and escape by himself? What's more, he still has some combat power.

"Why don't you understand Gonzalez's painstaking efforts?" This was the first time Dante called Gonzalez's name in front of Link. "He just didn't want you to get involved and let you go."

"This is not just a human battle, I..." Link was pulled and pushed to the solid rock wall by Dante.

"He told me that you destroyed Shuanghan's life case in the exile land. He hopes that you can survive and kill Shuanghan here." Although it only reached Link's waist, the dwarf's momentum was not low at all.

"I won't leave. Although I don't know how much I can do, but now I'm leaving, it's meaningless for me to come." After a moment of silence, Link refused the arrangement to escape from the underground passage. Now it was Dante's turn to be stunned.
To be continued...
