The stronghold city of Mokedan.
Before the appearance of the Great Wastelands, there were no so-called gateway cities on the southern front of the Demonic Shadow Empire's territory. There were only a few border towns. The empire did not have any troops stationed here, and these towns only maintained their superficial ownership. However, the ones who truly managed the town were the local tyrants. In those years, these towns were somewhat similar to the Great Wastelands. Apart from the fact that they were not as large as the Great Wastelands, they had some other things in common.
Until the wasteland quietly appeared, the Demonic Shadow Empire suddenly sent over a large number of troops and horses. First, they rolled over the original forces of the towns a few times. After hundreds of years of operation, Mokedan gradually changed from an important place to a heavy city, and then to the current stronghold city.
The current Mokedan Wall was a hundred meters tall, and there were many tall buildings. The urban area was complicated, and the streets and alleys crisscrossed. Those who came here for the first time would definitely get lost, and those who lived here for a long time wouldn't dare to say that they could walk from the south to the north of the city with their eyes closed. It could be seen how big this city was. It was truly worthy of being the gateway to the southern front.
Although the city had been torn down and built, in a few hundred years, it had been built from the size of the previous three towns to the current magnificent scale of 30 kilometers from south to north and more than 70 kilometers from east to west. The architectural style of Mokedan was exactly the same as that of Demonic Ring City. The buildings were mostly ancient, unlike Dorbia, which was full of assembly lines. There were many carvings on the ancient buildings in Agares, and these carvings were as majestic as they came. Majestic black iron sculptures could be seen on the outer walls of buildings, plazas, and barracks gates. However, the most majestic sculpture in the city was nowhere else. It was facing the city gate of the Great Wastelands.
This demon head, which looked like an open mouth, was the south gate of Mokedan. If travelers from the Great Wastelands wanted to enter Mokedan, they had to enter through the south gate. It felt like sending themselves into the mouth of a devil. After Bali, known as the Berserk Demon, led the three thousand Berserk Shadow Army into the city, this feeling became more and more obvious.
Five days after leaving the Great Wasteland, Allen, who was sitting in the land carriage, had this feeling when he saw Mokedan's distinctive south gate from afar. From afar, Mokedan looked like a huge piece of pitch black iron that was pressing down on the ground, and it emitted a heavy and oppressive feeling. With Allen's eyesight, in addition to seeing every detail of the demon city gate, he also saw the rugged Longsong Cannons on the city wall, the sharp steel spikes that seemed to pierce through the sky, the self-propelled turrets everywhere, and the black airships that were constantly ascending and descending above the city. All these things told Allen that it would not be easy to break into Moke Dan.
Trisley's voice sounded in his ears.
"Master, do you think this city is worthy of your blade?"
Allen shook his head. "Do you think Mokedan is Bai Xicheng? Putting aside the fact that an imperial city like this would definitely have an energy shield protecting it. Of course, whatever city walls and barriers, I can just cut them down with a single slash. But what would happen after that? There would still be the Empire's army behind them. At the very least, there would be a few powerful experts holding the fort, right? However, if necessary, it's not a bad idea to slash it once to show off. "
"So it's still the four words Luo?" Trisley fiddled with the console of the landing car and set it to automatic. She stretched and said, "We're finally almost there. My butt has almost turned into four pieces these past few days. If it weren't for the fact that you didn't want to make too much noise, it would only be a moment before we got on the airship. "
Belmore, who was sitting next to Allen, smiled. Allen had only brought him and Trisley with him on this trip. After all, he had only come to Mokedan to contact the chess pieces that Alice had set up there. He wanted to figure out the truth of Mokedan so that he could prepare for the upcoming battle. Of course, there was no need to mobilize so many people for this kind of action. With these two people, Trisley was more familiar with Mokedan, so she naturally took on the role of a guide. Belmore was in charge of gathering information. As for killing him when he encountered danger, Allen believed that the three of them would still be able to do it.
Unless Mokedan was willing to use all of its troops and the experts guarding the city were willing to risk their lives, there would be a chance of leaving them behind. However, no matter how Allen thought about it, he couldn't figure out why the owner of Mokedan would do this. Even if he was already the common lord of the wasteland, even if he knocked out the entire Shadow Army branch, even if the Forgotten Realm's army came with ill intentions. Even if the other party had already received the news that he was going to enter the city. If Allen was the head of this city, he wouldn't have made such a big fuss. After all, to the Demonic Shadow Empire, he was just a rising star. The empire was too big, and he was still very small.
As for breaking through Mokedan, that would be another story. But now, even if Allen's trip to Mokedan was alarmed, there shouldn't be any danger. Thus, he sat in a land carriage and followed a caravan from the Great Wasteland to Mokedan, arriving at this important city known as the Southern Gateway.
As the City Lord of Mokedan, a month ago, Grant's life was quite pleasant. This City Lord had the title of General in the empire, but in terms of true strength, Grant, who had barely reached Level 30, was not outstanding in the vast empire. With his strength, he could only rely on those experts who ate green crystals. If he was placed on the eastern front of the empire, not to mention the City Lord of a fortress city, even an important city would not be his turn to manage.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been thrown into this city at the southern gateway. The Balts were warlike by nature, and no one was willing to go to a place like the southern front, where there wasn't even a war in ten years. Therefore, even though Mokedan was very important, it only threw a person like Grant over. After all, the purpose of this city was not war, but only to keep an eye on the Great Wasteland and the Forgotten Realm for His Majesty in the Shadow Castle.
With the reputation of the Demonic Shadow Empire, no one in the Great Wasteland would be stupid enough to harass this city. Therefore, not only was Grant living a good life here, he was also quite comfortable. Mokedan guarded the gateway to the Demonic Shadow Kingdom from the Great Wasteland. Every year, there was an endless stream of caravans traveling between the two places. This undoubtedly brought Mokedan a rich income, and at the same time, made the position of City Lord a fat position. After staying in Mokedan for ten years, Grant's strong muscles had long since been replaced by a body of fat that had been nourished by his laziness in exercising. In the beginning, the City Lord would still run to the training ground every two to three days. But after two years, he completely gave up. The comfortable days in Mokedan had worn away his drive and turned him into a fat worm.
However, a month ago, after Bali, an Imperial Great General with a fierce reputation, came to the city, Grant's power was completely overthrown. Not only did he move out of that luxurious office building, he also had to look at Bali's face every day. This was undoubtedly a form of torture for Grant. After a month, the City Lord seemed to have lost some weight.
At this moment, Grant walked out of the building with an angry expression, causing the trusted aides behind him to not dare to make a sound. After all, just a few minutes ago, Grant had been insulted by Bali, so the City Lord's mood was definitely not good. After Bali took over the city, Grant simply passed the day like a year. Every day, Bali would wash his face with spit, and it was difficult for the City Lord to accept it with a smile on his face. There was nothing he could do. There was no reason to talk about it in front of Bali. If he was unhappy, he wouldn't care who you were and would kill them all.
Grant still wanted to live, so he could only greet him with a smile. As for anger and resentment, he could only wait until later to vent it out.
He got into his land car and gave a middle finger to a window in the office building.
In a room inside the window, Bali stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of the Great Wasteland. Someone knocked on the door and came in. Bali's adjutant, Angelika, who was known as the Bloodthirsty Banshee, walked in. The enchanting adjutant wore cool leather clothes that could barely cover the sensitive parts of her body and were covered with sharp steel nails. This made her look not only like a thorny rose, but even like a man-eating flower that ate people without spitting out bones.
Bali habitually pinched Angelika's elastic butt. The latter's expression did not change in the slightest as he said in a magnetic and sexy voice, "My lord, Lord Lamer is looking for you."
"That bastard Lamer is here too?"
"That's not it. Lord Lamer is still in Demonic Ring City. He just sent a communication request."
Bali narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Listen to what he wants to say."
Angelika stretched out her hand and pointed in the air, and the light in the room immediately dimmed. A few beams of light lit up and quickly interweaved into the figure of Latent Devil Lamer. Bali turned around and looked at the hologram. "What are you doing, Lamer? Don't bother me if it's nothing important. I'm trying to be intimate with Angelika. "
As he spoke, he pulled the adjutant over and put his hand into the woman's thin clothes in front of Lamer, rubbing and pinching his chest wantonly. Not only did Angelika not refuse, she even hooked up with Bali and put on an emotional expression.
Lamer seemed to treat the woman as transparent and said expressionlessly, "Looks like you're doing well in Mokedan, General Bali."
"Pfft." Bali grabbed the woman's chest tightly and pinched it into a strange shape. He said angrily, "If it weren't for His Majesty's orders, do you think I would like to come to this place where birds don't shit? There's no war to fight here. Even if you throw someone for me to kill, I won't be interested. I'm going crazy! "
Lamer chuckled and said, "Don't worry, you'll be busy soon."
"What, His Majesty wants me to go back?" Bali's eyes lit up with joy, and he even pulled his hand out of the adjutant's coat.
Lamer shrugged, "That's not it, but I just received news. Lord Dark King of the Great Wasteland seems to have visited your Mokedan. "
Bali snorted, "I've heard about the Great Wastelands. What a great name. Lord of the Wastelands. But who are you trying to scare? It's just a nobody. "
