Chapter 188 - The City Wall (1/2)
Heath looked at the scenery in front of him.
How should he put it...
It was as if he had stepped into another world.
There was also a very tall ancient Tree of Life here. The city wall was built around the roots of the ancient tree. The circumference was hard to calculate, but the height was about seven or eight hundred meters. At this moment, Heath and the others were on a half-moon platform in front of one of the city walls.
In front of them was an endless wilderness. What they saw was a grayish-black land. There was not a single blade of grass on the ground, and there was not a single speck of green in sight.
High in the sky, there were three blood-red moons hanging, and the blood-like red light sprinkled on the ground.
”Woo woo!”
”Put the arrows into the warehouse as soon as they are delivered. Someone check if there are any enchantments...”
”Every soldier must be given magic potions...”
”Every Dwarf, behave yourself. Don't let me hear any drunkards...”
”Hurry up, the Wraiths may appear at any time!”
The long sound of the horn and the sound of military orders were heard one after another. A human general in dark golden armor was making military arrangements for the soldiers on the city wall.
Under the command of the Elf general, groups of soldiers entered the combat area. Other than the humans and Elves, there were also Centaurs with big noses that were only half the height of a human, half the height of a Dwarf, half the size of a horse, and so on, they were races that had only been seen in books before.
”Is this... is this the Bloody Battlefield?”
”The atmosphere is so heavy...”
”Are we going to fight in such a place...”
”Is... is that a Dwarf?”
”And a Centaur...”
Whispers rose and fell.
Whether they were extraordinary or ordinary human Knights, they were all shocked by the scene in front of them. This was something that they had never come into contact with since they came from the Underdark Treesea.
The Underdark Treesea and even the entire West Coast were close to the coastline. There were more people who came into contact with the Seafolk, and it was rare for other races to see them.
Wizard Bonat, who was in charge of leading Heath and the others, suddenly pointed at the general who was lecturing them and introduced, ”That Sir is Advanced Wizard Robert. He is the temporary commander of the Bloody Battlefield. He will be in charge of you here.”
”Advanced Wizard!”
”Why is he dressed like a Knight?”
Hearing Wizard Bonat's introduction, the crowd burst into an uproar again. Advanced Wizards were one of the few powerful figures in the Dark Forest. Even in the entire Wizard World... They were also extremely powerful figures.
Such figures in the Wizard World were usually the masters of a large force, or even the rulers of a region. They were definitely the pillars of the Wizard World.
Heath could not help but look at him twice. This was the first time he had met a high-level Wizard in the true sense.
Especially...
This Wizard gave him a sense of déjà vu...
Heath's gaze swept over the other party's armor and the cross sword at his waist. 'Is he also a Knight?'
'No...'
'I'm afraid he's not just a Knight...'
At this moment, the general finished his work and walked over.
Wizard Bonat quickly went up and greeted, ”Sir Robert.”
Bonat was a powerful Wizard who had already entered the late stages of the Wizard realm. He was also affiliated with a powerful organization like the Tower of Order. He was definitely an existence that would be worshipped wherever he went.
However, this Wizard Robert just waved his hand casually.
Then, Robert's gaze fell on the crowd in front of him.
He asked, ”Are these the warriors sent by the Underdark Treesea?”
Bonnet said, ”Yes, sir.”
Robert looked around. His eyebrows were originally a little furrowed, but at this moment, they were clearly relaxed, giving people a sense of relief.
He nodded and said, ”Finally, a batch of decent quality... Hmm?”
At this moment, his gaze fell on Heath.
As if he had suddenly discovered something, he looked up and down at Heath and suddenly asked, ”Grand Knight?”
Heath was slightly startled.
This was the first time someone had seen his strength at a glance.
Seeing that Heath had caught Robert's attention... Wizard Bonat quickly introduced, ”Sir Robert, this is Wizard Heath. He is a genius recently nurtured by Shadow Tower. He has only been in the Wizard World for ten years.”
After hearing Bonat's introduction, Robert's eyes lit up.
He nodded repeatedly and said, ”To be able to advance to a Wizard in just ten years and at the same time possess the strength of a Grand Knight, he is worthy of the name of a genius!”
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this Robert's status was extraordinary. Seeing Heath being praised by others, whether it was Apprentices, Wizards, or even pure-blooded people, they all cast envious gazes.
Heath said humbly, ”Thank you.”
Robert nodded with satisfaction. ”I look forward to your performance in the Bloody Battlefield.”
Heath said, ”Yes!”
Robert laughed out loud. ”At least I got someone decent...”
Woo woo woo woo! At this moment, a horn sounded.
