At Flowing Gold Fort

This fort, which had been around since the Illustrious Divine Dynasty, had around seven thousand years’ worth of history

It was initially constructed during E’s rule and had been revived and abandoned many times afterwards The first ti lost a lot of territory and the Ferocious Race took over To deal with the Ferocious Race’s attacks, the Illustrious Divine Dynasty had established this fort

Not too long after, the humans reclaimed some of the territory lost to the Ferocious Race As their borders expanded, the Flowing Gold Fort gradually lost its purpose

However, the Illustrious Divine Dynasty’s counterattack was like that of every dynasty’s final generation: the Ferocious Race retaliated very quickly, and the Flowing Gold Fort once again beca the country

After seven thousand years, the Flowing Gold Fort had gone through many such cycles, and every ti of the country

In that sense, the Flowing Gold Fort’s importance was quite ironic

After the Illustrious Divine Dynasty split apart, Long Sang Country shouldered the burden of defending against the Ferocious Race because of their proximity to the north

As the current huain beco Gold Fort was located in between the Scarlet Mountain Range and the Lie, while the Goldwater River flowed nearby The fort was surrounded by water andit easy to defend and difficult to attack It was for these reasons that the fort served as a shi+eld to prevent the Ferocious Race fro in

There was technically only one Flowing Gold Fort, but there were actually twocities in that area for a total of five They were placed in five strategically ies and were closely linked to one another

The main fort had two layers; the outer as 150 feet tall, while the inner as 200 feet tall This way, even if the enemies were able to scale the outer walls, the soldiers in the inner city could still attack the enemies outside

The walls were made from refined black steel When black steel was olden color; hence the na Gold Fort Refined black steel wasn’t known for its toughness but rather its ability to conduct Origin Energy Each chunk of refined black steel was covered in Origin Formation Inscriptions The refined black steel walls’ primary purpose was not to withstand the attacks of the defenders but to power an Origin Formation Once this formation was activated, a massive defensive barrier would be erected around the fort

This barrier only allowed attacks through fro from outside the barrier

There were nine tall toithin the city which protected the core of the Origin For, it could supply an endless source of Origin Energy to the protective barrier Of course, activating such a large fory Apparently, each second the barrier was active cost tens of thousands of Origin Stones

As such, the Flowing Gold Fort wouldn’t activate this forency

Apart fro Gold Fort also had 1,400 Divine Flahtning Cannon that Su Chen had owned previously There were even twenty specially constructed cannons that could apparently kill a Dele blow When faced with this kind of firepower, a single person would be totally out they were

Even so, theout their full potential As such, the Flowing Gold Fort was filled with powerful warriors

There were a total of one hundred thousand soldiers within the fort, each of the was rigorous and their coordination immaculate, and each one of them possessed a brave and heroic spirit Because their ainst the Ferocious Race, they were known as the Ferocious Exterhout the whole Long Sang Country

The Ferocious Extermination Army was split into ten battalions, each with around ten thousand people They were naht Battalion, the Heavenly Enlightenment Battalion, the Heavenly Mist Battalion, the Heavenly Fiend Battalion, the Heavenly Extermination Battalion, the Earthly Ferocious Battalion, the Earthly Fire Battalion, the Earthly Dragon Battalion, the Earthly Tranquility Battalion, and the Earthly Peaceful Battalion

The Heavenly Battalions were primarily responsible for offensive maneuvers, while the Earthly Battalions focused on defense

The group that had disappeared aht Battalion

Su Chen stared off into the distance at the towering walls that were already coht bounced off the refined black steel walls and scattered into dazzling rays
