Chapter 258 - Dendera Fortress (2/2)

Roy even felt fortunate that this was not a fortress of the kingdom of Erathia. Otherwise, there might have been a large number of angel troops. To demons, angels were more difficult to deal with than dragons and titans.

As the Demon Eyes approached, the situation in Dendera gradually appeared in front of Roy.

The reason why it was a fortress city was that there were no civilians in this city. It was practically all military forces here. Bracada was probably worried that it would be difficult for the civilians to evacuate if demons invaded, so they simply stationed all troops in it.

In this fortress, he could see iron golems moving orderly everywhere. The number of iron golems was probably the largest, with at least fifty to sixty thousand. In the city, there were golem factories all over, and numerous gremlins shuttled through them, building and augmenting the golems according to the blueprints.

On the city wall, many mage towers and ballistas were standing, and a large number of equipment such as catapults. This was the configuration used to defend the city. The nagas with scimitars were patrolling on the city wall, and some elven rangers with bows on their backs were keeping a lookout between the bricks of the crenellated parapet of the city wall.

A little farther in was the city hall of Dendera. There was an enormous square, and there were about a hundred titans guarding it. Among these titans, there were black lightning titans wrapped in lightning all over, and storm titans wrapped in hurricanes. They were the most powerful forces in this fortress.

The titans and dragons had never gotten along and disliked each other, so some green dragons and emerald dragons that the elves had as reinforcements could not be bothered to go to the center of the city to have dealings with the titans. These green dragons and emerald dragons either flew into the sky to patrol, or they occupied the tops of some buildings in Dendera, lying on top of them with their wings folded to rest.

The stone gargoyles would not approach these dragons. Even the small number of griffins used to transmit information and letters in the city could bully these gargoyles. However, these gargoyles could be said to be the most hardworking and loyal troops. They tirelessly followed the orders given by the mages day and night. When the griffins and dragons were resting, they were still monitoring any movements in the canyon.

When the Demon Eyes transmitted these scenes back, even Roy could not help but frown. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least twice the number of troops to take down such a fortress.

Roy controlled a Demon Eye to fly toward the city hall. Because he was worried that the titans might discover the eye, Roy deliberately increased its height. Then through the Demon Eye, he saw many hero-looking figures entering and leaving the city hall from time to time. In just a short while, Roy found six to seven suspected heroes.

Behind the city hall, Roy finally found what he was looking for.

It was a silver arch made entirely of metal, it looked to be about four to five meters tall and was very large. This metal arch was on the ground and connected to a large magic formation on the ground. Every pattern of the magic formation was emitting faint light, and there were more than thirty mages holding magic staffs standing at the periphery. They seemed to be supplying magic power to the magic formation and the metal arch.

And in the center of the arch, a gigantic white vortex of light was slowly spinning…

This should be the spatial portal. Such a gigantic spatial gate that could be used to teleport troops was exceptionally difficult to build and expensive. But with it connecting to the elven fortress Aglan, the forces of the two cities could join each other. In other words, if Roy did not remove this spatial portal, it would be equivalent to him having to fight two fortresses at the same time, which was simply impossible.

Roy did not rashly let the Demon Eye approach because he did not know if there was anything similar to a magic shield at the spatial portal. If there was, even if the Demon Eye was invisible, it could still hit the shield and be discovered.

After confirming the location, Roy controlled several Demon Eyes to search the city and quickly found what he wanted to find the most.

It was… a deep well!

Although Dendera was on the shore of the river, the people in the city could not fetch water from the river. In addition, considering the possibility of the city being besieged, it was necessary to have well water like this. The people of Bracada and the elves were not undead, and they needed water to sustain their lives.

After discovering these water sources, Roy smiled. He remembered the locations of a few deep wells in the city and then had the Demon Eyes return.

“Okay, let’s wait now!” Roy said to Julia.

“Wait for what?” Julia was puzzled.

“Wait for night!” Roy folded the wings behind his back, found a rock, and sat down to let his tail hang…
