After exiting the forest, what entered his eyes was a basin that extended diagonally downwards. The bottom of the basin was flat, and a wide river meandered through the basin, nourishing the water plants on both sides of the river, making them lush and lush.
On such a rich grassland, one could see groups of animals running, especially those wild pegasi. When their pure white bodies galloped across the grassland, they were like a swimming white line, very obvious. When they were tired from running, the pegasi would collectively spread their wings and fly into the sky, occupying a large area of the sky. The wild griffins that came alone were so frightened that they hurriedly dodged, and then angrily roared at the pegasi in protest.
Some low fruit trees were scattered sporadically on this grassland. The berries on the trees attracted some small animals to come and eat, but at the same time, these small animals also attracted the attacks and ambushes of carnivores. On the bank of the river, a large number of large animals such as antelopes and bison came to drink. They were carefully vigilant of the crocodiles in the river, and every time they drank, they would look up and observe their surroundings.
Countless flying insects, butterflies, and bees danced on the flowers in the grass. Once other animals passed by, they would startle them …
This was a place full of vitality. Roy and the others, who had just walked out of the Desert of Death, looked at this scenery in surprise.
"This place isn't bad!" Roy said. "I can't tell what border it is at all."
"Master, the fortress is there!" Cassandra had already landed. She pointed ahead and said, "It's along the river."
Roy looked up and saw the winding river extending all the way forward. After crossing the basin grassland, it gradually converged into a wide canyon. There were cliffs on both sides of this canyon, and on the cliffs was an enormous city!
The fortress was at least dozens of kilometers away from here, so it looked quite small. But Roy estimated that it was at least a large city that could accommodate about a hundred thousand people. Even from here, he could see the high and smooth city walls outside the city. If this city was about a hundred meters from the foundation to the top, then the city walls surrounding the city were at least fifty meters tall!
This fortress built on the cliff was equivalent to firmly guarding the entrance of the canyon. Any ground troops that wanted to pass through the canyon to Eeofol would be discovered by the fortress. In the sky above the fortress city, Roy saw countless black dots flying densely. They were gargoyles patrolling day and night, as well as a small number of griffins and green dragons.
However, judging from the main direction of the city walls, Roy found that this fortress might be mainly aimed at the interior of the canyon, which was to guard against the direction from which they came. It seemed that after the demon army established a foothold in Eeofol, the various races on the continent had really tensed up, afraid that the demons would rush out again.
After observing for a while, Roy found that the flying troops flying above the fortress were changing regularly, indicating that the fortress was only carrying out routine vigilance. The elven rangers he killed in the forest did not send any information back to the fortress. Otherwise, it might not have been such a scene.
Roy sensed the location of the Demon Eyes he had released earlier and found that they were already close to the fortress and on standby.
"This is the fortress city of Dendera set up by the kingdom of Bracada!" Giovanni introduced. "The other elven fortress, Aglan, is at the other end of the canyon. These two fortresses are large fortress cities with more than a hundred thousand people. Even if the demon army wants to attack, they will have to pay a huge price. With all due respect, Your Excellency Osiris, it might not be a good idea to attack directly."
"I'm not stupid!" Roy glared at Giovanni. "Don't you see how many troops I have? I haven't even seen the vampire troops you promised to support. Do I need to use such a small number of troops to attack this kind of strong city?"
After being rebuked by Roy, Giovanni shut up resentfully. Julia asked, "Then what do you plan to do? Do you want another dark snowstorm? "
Roy shook his head. "It's useless. It's different from using it in the forest. There will definitely be a large number of mages in the fortress city. Once the dark snowflakes fall, they will immediately discover that something is wrong. At that time, those mages will have plenty of ways to remove these snowflakes. This way, not only will it be useless, but it will also expose us."
Julia actually understood what Roy said, but she really could not figure out what method Roy should use to conquer such a fortress city. Even though Roy was strong enough, Julia was also a high-rank demon, and she had the assistance of Fat Tiger, Giovanni, and Cassandra, she was at a loss when facing such a large number of troops.
"Why don't we set up a summoning formation here first?" Julia suggested. "Open a Gate of the Abyss. Even if it's a little crude, we can summon many demons."
"Don't worry. We'll definitely summon demon troops, and if we want to summon them, it's best to get a bigger Gate of the Abyss!" Roy grinned sinisterly. "But not now. We'll talk about it when we have a stronghold. The demon troops will be used to deal with Xeron! Now, I have a better way to attack this fortress. "
Seeing that Roy was so confident, Julia did not ask anymore. Roy first controlled the invisible Demon Eyes and began to carefully approach Fortress Dendera to investigate at close range.
In fact, with Roy's current quasi-lord-level strength, it was not impossible for him to destroy this fortress city alone. But it was foreseeable that there would definitely be many leading heroes stationed in such a fortress city. The low-level troops might be fine, but the high-level combat forces such as green dragons and titans would probably cause huge trouble for Roy under the leadership of the leading heroes.
When fighting Arantir, Roy understood that the figures who could be called heroes in the world of Ashan were basically not weaker than ordinary high-rank demons. Some famous and outstanding heroes were even stronger than high-rank demons. No matter how strong Roy was, he might accidentally fail in a one-on-one situation.
Roy was even glad that this was not a fortress of the kingdom of Erathia. Otherwise, there might be 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 of Dendera gradually appeared in front of Roy.
The reason why it was called a fortress city was that there were no civilians in this city, and almost all the soldiers in the city were deployed. The kingdom of Bracada was probably worried that it would be difficult for the civilians in the city to evacuate in case of a demon invasion, so they simply stationed all their troops inside.
In this fortress, iron golems could be seen moving orderly everywhere. The number of these iron golems was estimated to be the largest, at least fifty to sixty thousand. And factories and workshops for making iron golems could be seen everywhere in the city. Large numbers of gremlins shuttled among them, building and enriching the golem troops according to fixed blueprints.
On the city wall, there were a large number of mage towers and crossbow firing holes, as well as a large number of catapults and other equipment. These were the configuration used for defending the city. The Naga Nagas with curved swords patrolled the passage of the city wall. Some Elven Rangers who came to support looked out between the bricks of the city wall with longbows on their backs.
A little further inside was the city hall of Dendera City. There was a huge square here, and there were about a hundred Titans guarding it. Among these Titans, there were Lightning Titans with pitch-black lightning wrapped around their bodies, and there were also Storm Titans with hurricanes wrapped around their bodies. They were the most powerful forces in this fortress.
The titans and the dragons had never gotten along and disliked each other, so some of the green dragons and emerald dragons that the elves had sent to support could not be bothered to go to the city center to deal with the titans. These green dragons and emerald dragons could not be bothered to go to the city center to deal with the titans. These green dragons and emerald dragons either flew into the sky to patrol or occupied the top of some buildings in Dendera and lay on them with their wings folded to rest.
The gargoyles would not approach these dragons, and even a small number of griffins in the city, which were used to deliver messages and letters, could bully these gargoyles. But these gargoyles could be said to be the most hardworking and loyal troops. They tirelessly followed the orders of the mages day and night, monitoring any movements in the canyon while the griffins and dragons were resting.
When the Demon Eye transmitted these scenes back, even Roy could not help but frown. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least twice as many troops to take down such a fortress.
Roy controlled the Demon Eye to fly toward the city hall. Because he was worried that the titans might discover him, he deliberately raised the height of the Demon Eye. Through the Demon Eye, he saw many hero-like figures coming in and out of the city hall from time to time. In just a short while, Roy found six or seven people suspected to be heroes.
At the back of 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 huge. This metal arch was placed on the ground and was connected to a large magic array on the ground. Every line of the magic array was emitting a faint light. Outside the array stood more than thirty Magicians with staffs in their hands. They seemed to be supplying magic to the magic array and the metal arch.
And in the center of the arched door, a huge white vortex of light was slowly rotating …
This should be the spatial portal. Such a huge spatial portal that could be used to teleport troops was quite difficult to build, and it cost a lot. But with it connected to another elven fortress, Aglan, the troops of the two cities could communicate. In other words, if Roy did not remove this spatial portal, it would be equivalent to fighting 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 something like a magic shield at the location of the spatial portal. If there was, even if the Demon Eye was invisible, it might 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 the most.
They were all … deep wells!
Although Dendera was on the bank of the river, the people in the city could not get water from the river. In addition, he had to consider the possibility of the city being besieged, so well water like this was necessary. The Bracadans and elves were not undead, so they also needed water to maintain their lives.
After discovering these water sources, Roy smiled. He memorized the locations of the main deep wells in the city and then got all the Demon Eyes to return.
"Okay, let's wait now!" Roy said to Julia.
"Wait for what?" Julia was puzzled.
"Wait for night!" Roy folded the wings on his back and found a rock to sit on so that his tail would droop … Roy folded the wings on his back and found a rock to sit on to let his tail droop …
