Chapter 1915: Chapter 1080: The Disappearing Fortress and the Path Back to the Starting Point_2
This was clearly beyond the expectations of the two men.
Since the era of the Loren Kingdom, the Mountain Fortress had always existed in the world, changing hands several times in turbulent times before finally falling into the hands of the Coldflame Kingdom.
But never heard of before, this fortress could actually disappear directly!
âCould it be the work of the Otherworlder? But whatâs the point of making the fortress disappear? Does he think this can stop our offensive? Isnât that self-deception?â
Thinking about this in their hearts, both Andre and Seveil couldnât help but sneer, clearly not stopping their steps because of it.
The forty legions in charge of sieging the fortress were all main forces corps, even if the Otherworlder played some tricks, in the face of absolute power, it was just a joke!
âContinue moving forward! No one can stop the iron hoofs of ours!â
Without much hesitation, the two reached a consensus.
The grand Million Army continued advancing on the wide road, like iron dragons, unstoppable, as if capable of devouring everything.
Before long, even Andre and Seveil could clearly see.
The vast Mountain Fortress in front of them, under the dim night, had indeed completely disappeared from its original location at the pass, as if it had never existed.
âNo matter what tricks the Otherworlder plays, itâs only like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.â
Andre squinted slightly, looking at the familiar yet never-seen scene, couldnât help but sneer again.
As for the old chairman Seveil, he didnât take this to heart either, instead, he took out the Coldflame Eastern Region map from his chest and began studying from which path to siege more efficiently.
However, after about half an hour, the alliance army, which had been extremely high in morale, began to be faintly uneasy.
Because everyone was surprised to find that the empty pass seemed to be forever in front of them, and in this half hour, they didnât get anywhere near it!
Or perhaps, it seemed as if they were marching on an endless road, the real front always out of reach.
âWhat the heck is going on? According to past experience, ten minutes ago we should have reached the pass where the Mountain Fortress is located, why are we still staying in place?â
Andreâs originally fierce face finally showed a hint of unease, blurting out.
âYour Royal Highness Prince, it seems thereâs something strange going on here.â
Seveil had long put away the map, his old face full of confusion: âEven the scouts sent out couldnât get near the pass at all, it seems that we are trapped in this land.â
âImpossible, absolutely impossible, increase the marching speed, I refuse to believe we canât get through!â
Andreâs tone revealed a hint of exasperation, shouting at his attendant: âBring my Griffin over here, I want to personally lead the team to check it out!â
Seeing Andreâs full face of anger, Seveil didnât stop him, instead instructing Virentin to lead a team to scout.
The old chairman clearly understood, this whole situation was too bizarre, they seemed to have unconsciously fallen into a gigantic quagmire, unable to extricate themselves.
After about another ten minutes, accompanied by the deep sound of a Griffin howl, the outline of a huge Demon Beast gradually descended, stirring up a gust of wind and dust.
When the Griffin folded its wings and landed, Andre leaped down from it expressionless, saying: âYour Excellency Chairman, I just reached the pass over there and scouted on the way, finding no ambush, we can proceed without worry.â
At this moment, it was clearly discernible.
Although Andreâs words were calm, the underlying unease was increasingly apparent.
âWhat about the Mountain Fortress? Did it really vanish?â
Seveil knitted his gray eyebrows, hastily asked.
âMr. Chairman, although unknown how, the Mountain Fortress indeed disappeared, the pass is unobstructed.â
Accompanied by the neighing sound of horses, Virentin, who had been scouting on land, also hurried back, saluting with his hand over his chest.
âSince we can approach, we have to approach with caution.â
Seveil pondered for a moment, then immediately asked Andre: âHow do you see it, Your Royal Highness Griffin Prince?â
âThereâs no turning back once the bow is drawn, I want to see what tricks that Otherworlder can play!â
Andre sneered loudly, his face full of anger in response.
âThen we shall continue moving forward, if we retreat now without fighting, our Orchid Federation and Saint Night Kingdom will surely become the laughingstock of the Human Clan various countries.â
Having said this, Seveil once again addressed the generals behind him: âSteady the morale, victory shall belong to us!â
It didnât take long for the grand alliance army to successfully reach the pass.
Since Andre and Seveil had already agreed, to prevent any further incidents, the army moved forward madly without stopping.
âBeyond this pass lies the vast territory of the Coldflame Kingdom!â
Andre shouted excitedly, this time moving together with Seveil and others from the central army to the vanguard.
However, just as the two Tier 5 Powerhouses led the way forward, a strange event happened again.
This time, the pass passage that originally had limited length suddenly became extremely long, like entering another canyon.
âYour Royal Highness Prince, we seem to have returned to the Eternal Sleep CanyonâŠâ
Shortly after, a somewhat unsure voice from a Saint Night middle-age general was heard by Andre.
âNonsense, speaking such foolishness, the army had already crossed Eternal Sleep Canyon, how could we have returned? Are you implying my million-strong army is lost?â
Despite being equally anxious inside, Andre still coldly glanced at the middle-age general, coldly snorted: âIf you dare to disturb the military again, I wonât hesitate to use you as a sacrificial flag!â
Upon hearing this, the middle-age general immediately remained silent, while an uneasy Seveil had tightly furrowed his aged brow.
Although he was not very familiar with the terrain of Eternal Sleep Canyon, his memory was quite good, the surrounding environment was undoubtedly identical to the initial Eternal Sleep Canyon.
But according to the map, the route the army was taking was always a straight passage, with no forks appearing, making it impossible to lose the way.
Furthermore, this was the territory of the Saint Night Kingdom, the scouts and vanguard were local people familiar with the terrain, how could they just return the way they came?
âReporting to Your Excellency Chairman, ahead we discovered the flags of the Light Feather Tribe and our Orchid Federation, itâs our encampment!â
Just as Seveilâs aging face was filled with puzzlement, the report from the front scout captain arrived in his ear through magic communication.
âHow is this possible? Have we indeed returned to the Eternal Sleep Canyon?!â
Seveilâs body trembled, his aged face suddenly filled with disbelief.
Beside him, Andre was equally surprised, obviously receiving the same information.
Before the two could react, the end of the road ahead suddenly lit up brightly, causing the soldiers at the front to all be shocked.
It was a heavily guarded encampment, established at the canyonâs exit, identical to what was seen at the beginning.
Just as Seveil and Andre looked at each other, filled with bewilderment.
The dense sound of hooves was heard, and similarly puzzled, the Fox People Tribe general Phil led his troops to welcome them.
âMr. Chairman, why have you returned again?â
Philâs tone was full of surprise, confusedly: âDidnât the army already proceed through the Eternal Sleep Canyon to the Mountain Fortress? How come youâre entering from the canyonâs entrance again?â
After hearing Philâs puzzled words, Seveil was speechless, again looking at Andre, struggling with bewildered expressions.
In the midst of shock and surprise welling up inside them, the old chairman now clearly realized.
They indeed had fallen into an unexpected and terrifying quagmire, one that was completely inescapable.
