City Where Warriors Gather

"Boom—"

A deafening roar, accompanied by a violent tremor of the ground, occurred near Red Lion City, and the dragon crashed to the ground once more.

Fortunately, although this might sound like a persecution of Mor, everyone was prepared for the fall and therefore suffered minimal injuries.

"That place has been completely turned into a battlefield."

Looking back, Fan En saw that the road in front of the Red Lion City gates, which was covered with barricades, was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

After that round of bombardment, the monsters fell to the ground like garbage, and even the “Step into Corruption” Ai Ge Ji Si was no exception. In fact, because of its huge body, it was targeted by the Dragon-Slaying Cannon and staggered on the ground for a long time before it could get up.

Adventurers have seen city defense weapons before, but they have never heard of city defense weapons as powerful as those in Red Lion City, capable of completely blasting down swarms of strong monsters. They wonder if the capital city defense forces of other countries can do the same.

However, such powerful city defense weapons were obviously not something that could be used casually. After one round of shelling, they went silent, probably because they were busy reloading or something.

To eliminate those monsters that fell to the ground but did not die, the soldiers on the ground would need their swords and knives.

The air was filled with the sounds of battle. Soldiers skilled in hunting wild beasts, clad in flames that could withstand the Scarlet Corruption, charged fearlessly towards the hordes of monsters, braving the Rot Breath spewed by Aegis.

The stunning visual effects are breathtaking, offering a truly authentic fantasy war experience.

"Truly astonishing combat power." Fan En couldn't help but exclaim. He had observed carefully that the Redmane Soldier here were all gaunt and their mental state was comparable to that of the Godrick Soldier, but they were still able to perform the duties of soldiers and even unleash powerful combat power when facing siege beasts.

He still finds it strange that if he doesn't become a werewolf, he wouldn't have too much trouble dealing with more than ten soldiers at the same time, but when he becomes a werewolf, which is theoretically stronger, he can't beat them, which is quite frustrating.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that Abei has also gotten caught up in the fierce battle among the monsters, even engaging in combo attacks against the soldiers.

After the monsters finished their combo attack, they would stare blankly at Abei, as if they vaguely remembered that they were enemies.

But Abei was clearly having too much fun, and his mission was simply to hold off the enemy's movements. Monsters and soldiers were both enemies, so he could hold them off no matter which one he was holding off.

This demonstrates the dragon's formidable physical prowess. Putting aside the damage, a flick of its tail or a somersault can knock over a large number of enemies, which is a great way to buy time. A human adventurer here probably couldn't do this.

"Let's hurry up and not waste Abei's fight." You Fei gave Abei an encouraging gesture, then turned and headed towards the tightly closed door, seemingly intending to break it down by force.

"Wait, I just saw the path." x2

Seeing that everyone was about to follow You Fei, Fan En immediately spoke up, and unexpectedly, Ta Mi also spoke up at this moment.

The two exchanged a glance, as if praising each other for their keen observation.

Lu Lu Wo, standing behind Ta Mi, crossed her arms and nodded secretly, thinking that Ta Mi had finally graduated.

The path they were talking about was actually a steep cliff that circled the side of the city. From here, you couldn't see where the path led, or maybe it wasn't a path at all? But if you encounter a closed gate in the Zane Dungeon and see a place that looks like a path, you should definitely check it out first.

These words convinced You Fei, who vaguely remembered that Jia Paer seemed to have said something similar, so she gave up on attacking the main gate and instead tried to climb the cliff.

But then a sudden change occurred. A roar was heard from above, followed by a loud crash as something heavy fell to the ground.

Everyone instinctively raised their hands to shield themselves from the sandstorm, only to see a Troll wearing an oversized Redmane Soldier's armor descending before them, his giant sword ablaze with flames.

"The Red Lion Legion even Troll?"

Upon meeting, the Troll brandished his giant sword, unleashing Weapon Skill called [Flame Strike] that swept a storm of flames towards them.

Just as everyone was trying to defend themselves in various ways, a huge green figure pounced from behind, spewing thick green poison gas that instantly melted the flames brought by the fire attack. Then, the green figure tackled the Troll to the ground and used its thick limbs to beat the Troll's head hard from both sides.

It was Mor; he had finally recovered from the impact of the fall.

"Roar!" A deep roar came from his throat, meaning that he would hold the line here and everyone else should go first.

"You're really reliable, big guy!" Lu Lu Wo gave him a thumbs up, then turned and led the people around her toward the south side of the cliff. None of them were sentimental, and after remembering Mor's contribution, they rushed toward the cliff.

By the time they reached the top of the cliff, the sounds of the battlefield seemed to have subsided, and the smell of gunpowder could no longer reach them.

Climbing the steep cliffs is not easy, and there are many Bat Monsters that are taller and bigger than a person living on them. You can encounter one every two steps. There is even an old bat lady hanging on a tree singing. The shockwaves emitted by their mouths are enough to shake an adult off the cliff.

In the end, Lu Lu Wo used chains to tie everyone into safety ropes, and attached all the chains to You Fei, who was absolutely impossible to be knocked down by the shockwave. It took a while before they successfully reached the top.

As expected, the cliff did indeed connect to the walls of Red Lion City, although it was unknown where this section of the wall led.

However, the fact that they were able to successfully enter the city made them feel that the gains were worth the losses.

Fan En and Ta Mi Stealth over and dealt with the soldiers guarding the city wall, thus declaring that this section of the wall safe. They then looked down upon the city they had longed for.

From this vantage point, you can't see the entire Red Lion City. This fortress-like city is simply too large, and it certainly feels quite magnificent.

Unlike Stormveil Castle, which was shrouded in an atmosphere of storm and gloom, or the limb warehouse, which was eerie and terrifying.

The crimson sky bathed the entire Red Lion City in a blood-red hue. Torn Red Lion battle flags were visible everywhere in the city, and bonfires symbolizing war were set up every few steps, often alongside weapon racks piled high with weapons, making it seem as if war could break out at any moment.

Coupled with the sounds of soldiers fighting monsters outside, the entire city was shrouded in an atmosphere of "war".

Even though Stormveil Castle has kitchens and other places where you can relax by the Forge Fire, Red Lion City is completely different. Every detail here keeps you on high alert, and your mind can't stop for a moment, just like being on a real battlefield.

Despite being constantly in dangerous adventures, Lu Lu Wo and the others still showed signs of discomfort, getting goosebumps just from being there.

The only one present who seemed somewhat adapted to the battlefield atmosphere was probably You Fei.

"I really like the atmosphere here."

You Fei removed the chains binding her, breathing in the air stained with flames and blood. She looked quite wistful and muttered to herself:

"Alright, where is Starscourge General? Where is that old man spying on us? Could he be deep inside the city?"

She couldn't wait to make a big splash, and nothing could stop her from being excited. This excitement infected everyone else as well.

"I think everyone should come and take a look."

But just as everyone was getting ready to make a big splash, Ta Mi, who was checking the situation in the city with Fan En, let out a slightly trembling voice.

It was as if he had seen something frightening, but also as if he was excited, giving people a strange feeling.

"What's wrong? Are you scared because it's your first time experiencing something like this?"

Lu Lu Wo walked up to Ta Mi and patted him on the shoulder nonchalantly, like a big sister in the underworld, saying, "What storms haven't we weathered? A mere city shouldn't scare you, right?"

"No, at least take a look first!"

Ta Mi reached out and pressed Lu Lu Wo's head down, twisting her neck to the right and shoving the binoculars into her eyes so she could get a good look at the city.

Lu Lu Wo was full of confidence when she first saw it.

At first glance, Lu Lu Wo's smile gradually disappeared.

At the third glance, Lu Lu Wo's eyelids twitched wildly.

"What exactly happened?"

You Fei couldn't help but come over and take a look at the actual situation in the city. Her eyes widened immediately.

Then he couldn't help but whistle a cheerful tune, like a trainer seeing a large number of his favorite Pokémon appear before his eyes.

If we were to describe the interior of Red Lion City in a purely descriptive way, it would look like this:

The Crucible Knight sat on the steps, silently wiping the Greatsword in his hand; the power of the Crucible Aspects was heavy and overwhelming.

The Lion Hybrid paced back and forth somewhat agitatedly, occasionally roaring at the Redmane Soldier on guard, its whiskers and mane bristling.

The Blood Noble leaned against the shadows in the corner, his dagger dripping blood from its Reverse Stab, while a magnificent rapier was hidden within his black robe.

The Ancient Dragon Knight stood still like a statue, seemingly conserving his energy, with lightning gathering at the tip of his spear.

The mage practices his final spells, the fully armed Demi-Human strikes his shield, and the Ogre Knight of unknown allegiance wipes his wounds.

The enemies gathered inside Red Lion City are practically an all-star gathering of Sion!

"What's going on?"

Fan En could sense that even the Demi-Human among the various people below possessed immense battle aura and were definitely not ordinary individuals; at the very least, they were elites!

Why are these guys, who clearly don't belong to the same camp and might even be enemies, gathered here and even seem to be coexisting peacefully?

The scene before them was enough to make any adventurer's pupils dilate in shock!

Just then, You Fei noticed the flash of the telescope again, and she quickly looked up into the distance.

On the familiar tower, the old man in the pointed hat reappeared, observing them.

But this time, he was holding something in his hand and pressed it down on the crowd from afar.

The next second, the light from the teleportation array instantly enveloped everyone.
