The road is a bit rugged, and the northeastern area of the seventh area of the battlefield is dotted with several north-south ridges. There are gentle valleys more than ten kilometers wide between these ridges.
There are some green moss and wild grass growing on the ground, and there are some bushes scattered in the surrounding mountains.
There are no dense forests, but you can see fortresses made of huge rocks on some mountains. There are a total of twenty-seven fortresses guarded by the Green Empire, but these are not all the fortresses in the mountains in the northeastern region.
Surdak followed the logistics convoy all the way back to the Green Empire's Chaos Fortress located behind the seventh area of the battlefield.
The Chaos Fortress is located on a cliff in the northeast corner of District 7. This fortress is more like a majestic city built on the mountain. There is only one gate connecting the vast land of District 7. Surdak is riding a horse from a distance.
You can see the light rising into the sky from the fortress. It is said that the light is the teleportation circle in the fortress.
The officer in the Material Logistics Department is a native of the Imperial City. He is very talkative and his age cannot be discerned.
After breaking through the second level, strong people can delay aging through self-regulation, or they can adjust their strength, physique, and agility.
Suldak couldn't even feel the power overflowing from the officer in the logistics department.
He was sitting on the back shelf of the four-wheeled carriage. The carriage was loaded with useful materials for various body parts of the demon warriors. The roof of the carriage was covered with a tarpaulin.
He smiled and said to Suldak:
"This is not the first time this situation has happened to you. Even now, it is difficult for the gatekeepers to give a reasonable explanation."
"Some people believe that the occurrence of teleportation deviation is a test given by angels to those with high abilities. Many of the second-turn warriors who were teleported to the neutral zone are the best of the second-turn warriors."
"However, there are also many magicians who believe that this is just a teleportation deviation caused by the instability of the space rift, and is caused by the lack of rigor in the basic matrix algorithm of the teleportation gate."
Hearing what the logistics officer said, Suldak felt a little more balanced: 'It turns out that I am not the first person to have this happen.'
But when I saw the officer from the Logistics Department was hesitant to speak, I knew that he had not finished what he had to say.
"Is there any other explanation?" Suldak asked the logistics officer.
The officer from the Logistics Department hesitated for a moment before adding: "When the priests of the Temple of Liberty were still stationed in the fortress, they believed that only those who believed in demons could be affected during the transmission process and cause deviations in transmission.
"
"However, this statement has long since been withdrawn from the battlefield by the priests, and no one has mentioned it again."
"..."
Suldak was silent.
He thought about the original two-faced, four-armed demon statue in his body, and exactly half of it belonged to the devil.
"Actually, don't think so much, we will arrive at the fortress tomorrow." The officer from the logistics department said with a carefree smile.
Suldak felt that he seemed to know a little bit about everything, so he couldn't help but asked curiously:
"Why did those priests suddenly withdraw from the battlefield?"
The logistics officer stretched out a hand and shook it at Suldak, denying it repeatedly:
"No, you probably don't understand the situation at that time. They didn't evacuate suddenly. The evacuation of the priests was divided into four times. Although the priests didn't say anything during the evacuation, I guess they were going on an expedition to the Kingdom of God.
The army entered an unknown dark plane."
This was the first time Suldak heard someone say this. He was slightly startled: "Uh...?"
"For an analogy, it's like the Dark Legion from the Hell Plane is invading the Green Empire's affiliated planes. In fact, those Dark Legion are also developing territories."
"But why did they abandon the Grimm Empire when they opened up the dark territory?" Surdak asked doubtfully.
"Then you have to ask the Statue of Liberty. Maybe she is tired of the Imperial people..."
After the logistics officer finished speaking, he burst into laughter, as if he had told a very funny joke.
…
When Surdak arrived at the gate of Chaos Fortress, it was already his eighteenth day on the battlefield.
As the carriage of the Logistics Department successfully entered the outer gate of the Chaos Fortress, they wanted to store the horses in the stables of the fortress. There were actually many second-level powerhouses living in the fortress. A large number of second-level powerhouses wearing magic pattern structures came and went here.
, some people even have harsh looks in their eyes.
Standing on a huge rock at the entrance of the fortress was a two-headed ogre wearing black armor.
Surdak stopped to look, only to realize that it was the ogre Gulitem.
"Gulitem..." Surdak rushed through the chaotic crowd and moved closer to the ogre.
Gulitem immediately heard Surdak's shout, but a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the fortress. He and Naohua'er looked for a long time before finding Surdak among the crowd.
The two-headed ogre raised his fists high and slammed them together in front of his chest. A wave of air spread out around him with him as the center.
"Boss, how did you get out of there? Andrew and I have been waiting for you here for more than half a month. Where have you been? Andrew, Andrew..."
The ogre Gulitem was so excited that he began to speak loudly. He was a little excited and pinched Surdak's wrist until it hurt.
The ogre strode towards a corner of the fortress and shouted Andrew's name.
The Nanai indigenous warrior ran out of a blacksmith shop in the fortress, holding a hammer in his hand. When he saw Surdak behind Gulitem, he immediately threw away the sledgehammer in his hand and walked to Su
In front of Erdak, he was so excited that he was speechless.
It took a long time for the Nanai indigenous warrior to say something: "Gulitem and I thought we had lost you..."
Suldak asked Andrew:
"Where's Samira?"
Andrew scratched his head vigorously and said with some embarrassment:
"In order to go out to find you, she joined the patrol team organized by the Chaos Fortress Headquarters. She said she would visit every fortress. She said that if you return to the Chaos Fortress, leave a message for her in the tavern here. Oral message."
Suldak patted Andrew on the shoulder and asked:
"Okay, how have you been these past few days?"
Andrew smiled and said:
"Except for not knowing where you have gone, everything else is okay. In order to stay in the Chaos Fortress and wait for you, I ran to this blacksmith shop to do odd jobs. Gulitem was washing dishes in a restaurant. We usually take turns to stay at the blacksmith shop. At the gate of the fortress, I’m just worried that you won’t be able to find us when you come to the Chaos Fortress.”
Surdak glanced at Gulitem in surprise, wondering which restaurant owner would be so ambitious as to hire an ogre to wash the dishes for him.
"I'm going to report to the headquarters. Have you all registered here?" Surdak thought of entering the Chaos Fortress. The first thing he had to do was to register. Normally, this step would be completed at the teleportation gate. Only he needed to re-register. Enter the fortress to register.
"Yes, someone registered us the day we walked out of the portal." Gulitem said.
"I said, boss, where have you been these days? I walked out of the portal with Gulitem, Andrew, and Samira, and then I found that you disappeared without a word. We were completely confused at that time. Now..." Good brother Naohua'er also took the opportunity to say to Suldak.
It was quite eye-catching to see a two-headed ogre in a fortress where humans gathered.
Andrew walked directly into the blacksmith shop, said goodbye to the owner of the blacksmith shop, and then took Suldak back to the hotel where he and Gulitem were staying temporarily.
Suldak asked the two-headed ogre to wait for them in the hotel, and then he and Andrew walked into the gate of the Chaos Fortress Castle.
A tall teleportation gate stands at the highest point of the fortress, and people are constantly walking out of the teleportation gate, and then walking down the high steps...
Surdak walked up to the portal and went directly to the registration office in front of the portal. After Surdak explained the situation to the person in charge of registration, the staff member quickly transferred Surdak to the registration office. Gram information is recorded on a piece of parchment.
But then he said to Surdak:
"Please wait a moment!"
Then trot all the way to the room behind the portal.
Not long after, a magician and a construct knight walked out of the room at the same time, stood in front of Suldak and said:
"Hello, I am Angelo Moody, the person in charge of the portal management office. This is Harold Jordan, the magister in charge of portal maintenance. I heard that you have experienced a teleportation deviation. We need to do more for you. Comprehensive inspection." The construct knight was wearing a dark golden armor, and the breath coming out of his body completely suppressed Suldak.
Unexpectedly, in the Chaos Fortress, you can easily see some rank-three powerhouses.
In the Green Empire, these Level 3 experts are almost as rare as a rarity...
"OK!"
With two rank-3 experts in front of him, what else could Suldak say?
These two third-level experts led Suldak into a stone room, and Andrew was stopped outside the stone room.
The walls in the room are actually made of magic crystals. From the outside, it looks like an inconspicuous stone house, but the interior decoration style is so luxurious.
Angelo Moody's body had a faint halo, and the knight's halo at his feet turned out to be a light blue halo, which instantly made Surdak's body filled with sacred aura.
Lord Angelo, the head of the Portal Management Office, said to Suldak: "Please release your power smoothly..."
Surdak was a little nervous. When Lord Angelo said this, he condensed the sacred aura in his body into a ball of flame through the palm of his hand.
"The power of Holy Light?" Angelo Moody was slightly shocked and immediately turned to look at Magister Hadro Jordan.
The magister pressed his hands on a crystal ball, and a beam of light fell on Suldak, and he continued to say: "Please release your power..."
Surdak thought, and the shadow of an archangel appeared behind him.
The archangel released the power of extremely pure holy light, and the entire room was almost filled with holy light, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
"Archangel?"
Magister Hadro Jordan and the person in charge, Angelo Moody, looked at each other, with a hint of relief in their eyes.
Surdak stood in the room, and the crystal stones around him reflected the power of the holy light into his body. His body was like a translucent water bottle.
As the archangel's shadow slowly disappeared, Surdak even left behind a few pure leaves condensed with the power of holy light.
Angelo Moody came up from the side, patted Suldak on the shoulder affectionately, and said to him:
"Okay, we understand, you can go and rest."
Suldak turned and walked to the door, then stopped, turned to Angelo Moody and asked: "Sir, can I leave the Chaos Fortress recently?"
Angelo Moody smiled, walked up, put one hand on Suldak's shoulder and said, "Any time!"
The two of them walked outside the stone room. The staff member who reported to the registration office was also waiting outside. Angelo Moody ordered him: "According to the usual practice, where should he be assigned?"
The staff member checked the registration form and immediately replied: "As usual, we plan to assign Grand Knight Surdak to Blue Bridge Fortress. You can report to Blue Bridge Fortress in the near future."
"OK."
Suldak knighted Angelo Moody and Hadro Jordan.
Then he returned to the hotel in Chaos Fortress with Andrew who was waiting outside.
…
This hotel is located under the city wall of Chaos Fortress. It looks like a temporary remodel of the material warehouse under the city wall. It is very simple. Its only feature is that the accommodation fee is very cheap.
This is why Andrew and Gulitem chose this hotel.
They just want a temporary place to stay.
If Chaos Fortress hadn't required a temporary residence permit, they wouldn't have even chosen to stay in a hotel.
Back in the simple room of the hotel, Suldak said to Gulitem and Andrew:
"Have a good rest today and go to the tavern to leave a message for Samira in the evening. We will leave for Blue Bridge Fortress tomorrow."
"Great, we can finally leave here." The ogre waved his fist excitedly and shouted.
They have been guarding the Chaos Fortress these days and are already tired of it...
…
In the stone room behind the portal of Chaos Fortress, Angelo Moody and Magister Hadro Jordan were sitting at their desks, with steam still floating in the teacups in front of them.
"Such pure power of Holy Light!" Angelo Moody sighed softly.
"Tsk tsk... No wonder the wizard of the demon clan is actually willing to roll the dice of fate on him," Magister Hadro Jordan also praised afterward.
Angelo Moody glanced at the magician and asked, "So, he is being targeted by the great wizard of the demon clan?"
Magister Hadro Jordan shook his head slightly and said: "That's not necessarily true. Those great wizards probably saw something in the River of Destiny, and he happened to be standing by the river at the time and was thrown out by the way."
Angelo Moody blew the hot air from the tea cup and sighed: "...How long has it been since we last seen the Paladin?"
Magister Hadro Jordan thought for a while and then said: "It has been a few years since the priests in the temple left..."
