12 Fortress City of Esnoz (2/2)

But Arno is different, his eyes is basically a Divine Eyes belongs to a Godly being, in which has farther and sharp view distance radius compared to the trivial mortal's eyes. because of that Arno can see the city more clearly even from this distance.

The city at the far is relatively large but Arno feels it can't be compared to the humongous Astoria Capital at all, it was completely enclosed by a 20 meters tall of the sturdy defensive wall, while it has only 2 main gates attached to the northern and the southern side of the city wall.

There is a huge mansion of some kind in the middle of the city, which surrounded by other buildings.

Also, several large farms and small houses sprawling and dotting the landscape just outside the wall. While 2 massive military camps located 3 kilometers outside the city near the main roads that lead towards the southern city gate.

Arno spreading his Divine Sense towards the city direction.

He found the city population numbers is only 60.000 people, it's really small compared to the city large size, but after thinking for a while, he feels that it makes senses as he learned about the city from Melissa at the night before.

Esnoz is extremely old city, it was build before Astoria Empire was founded, but after the city fall to Astoria's hands, it serves as the main defensive point against the Demon Beast and Barbarians onslaught coming from the Gobi Deadlands if they were successfully breaking through the southern border.

The city currently also serves as the main headquarter for the Astoria Southern Military District.

That is why the city population is rather small.

But after scanning the city for a while, something attracts Arno's attention.

'I thought Astoria only has 1 Saint expert,...but why there is another 1 exist in the city now?.'

Arno sense a powerful Saint Rank individual located inside Esnoz, but he felt the situation rather strange, because he heard from the palace meeting a few days ago, that the only Saint Rank expert belongs to Astoria was summoned to the Saint Dragon Mountains and he already departs 1 month ago, which Arno know that place its extremely far away from Astoria in the south coast of the continent.

'i'm guessing it is not him huh....' Arno thought its probably not the Astoria Heavenly Protector who is currently in Esnoz but instead its just some other Saint rank, so he didn't think much of it afterward, but he still kept a mental note about it.

”Alright honey, just take it slow.”

Screech!!

Lynn starts to slow down her speed as she is ordered by Gus, they keep getting closer to the city, Esnoz Aero Terminal is in the north side of the city, and they heading towards it.

Few minutes after that,

The city view becomes clearer, and finally, Lynn flying through above the city wall and head straight to the Aero Terminal parking zone.

In the city airspace, several Wyvern and Haas't Eagle can be seen flying to and from the Aero Terminal carrying people or cargo, although this city-size can't be compared to Astor, it's Aero Terminal activities can be said more or less the same as it was really busy.

Wooosh

Wooosh

The Wyvern gently landed on the ground, while several people who obviously the local terminal crew is pushing a wooden stair for the passengers to disembark and placing it near Lynn.

”Alright everyone, we have safely arrived in Esnoz, i'd like to thank you again for choosing to fly with us, and i hope the flight is enjoyable to you.” The team began to disembark one by one, while Fanctom handed out a coin pouch to Gus who received it with a bright smile.

Fanctom also gave several silver coins to the crew after he gets down from Lynn's back, the crew was ecstatic because of it.

Gus and the crew then tending Lynn the Wyvern afterward, bringing her to the beast stables to rest.

Sasha is looking around the terminal ”It's really busy here...” and mumbling after seeing the terminal situation.

”It is always busy, even more so now after the Demon Beast stampede in the borders,” Alfred replies to her.

”Yeah, it's mostly because the Legions supplies that keep coming in from other areas, it's a dire situation after all.” Aurel also giving her opinion.

”Now, what's next Mel?.” Dina asking Melissa what to do next.

But before Melissa able to give a reply.

A squad of soldiers donned in the Legion standard armor riding on top of the horses, galloping from the Terminal gates while escorting a luxurious carriage and heading towards the team direction.

They create a commotion which attracts attention inside the Aero Terminal.

The squad stops their horses near the team, while a soldier who looked like the leader of the squad, began getting off from his horses and start walking closer to Melissa.

”You are Lady Melissa Dreyfuss, i presume?.” the squad leader asked politely.

”Correct.” Melissa nods slightly.

Then the squad leader bow and saluting Melissa ”My lady, we are the soldiers from the Southern District, we have been tasked to bring you and your team directly to the Grand Commander Reizen Fuze, immediately.” and he informs Melissa about his order with a stern voice.

”Very well, take us there.”

”At once my lady, we also prepared a carriage for your team to uses, and i also must inform you that one of you comrade already waiting with the Commander Reizen in the City Lord Mansion, we will take you there.”

”Ummm thank you.” Melissa thanking the squad leader, and signaling the team to get into the carriage.

After the team has entered the carriages, the squad leader who already on top of his horses begin ordering his subordinate to move immediately.

Thus, the team carriage is moving towards the City Lord Mansion in the middle of the city while being escorted by the soldiers.
