Chapter 141 Frontline
The Kingdom of Cohen - Prince's Territory.

Gray Mountain Outpost.

This is a border barracks, facing the area leading to the Gray Mountain Range.

"It's great that I can still stay here alive." A soldier leaned against the watchtower, leaning on his spear and said.

Another soldier adjusted his steel helmet.

"Alas, I don't know how much longer we can stay here. The next time there's a troop deployment, we might not be able to escape."

Compared to this soldier's sad face, another soldier was smiling, but the smile was somewhat forced.

"What can we do? We can only live one day at a time."

"There are 23 people in our team, and now there are only 8 of us left. The captain and his team have never returned since the beginning.

So what is attacking us?" Another young-looking soldier sitting beside the road couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know. I heard it was a monster. The Kingdom of Safuro has been completely destroyed. You saw the refugees fleeing."

Hearing this soldier's words, another soldier couldn't help but complain: "Who can understand? Monsters that eat human flesh, bats that can fly in the sky and are bigger than humans, and people who can control blood and so on."

Although he said he didn't believe it, you could tell from the worry and fear in his eyes that he had already understood it.

If it weren't for these monsters, the Limestone Fortress wouldn't have needed such a large number of troops to resist.

As teammates were called up one by one, the fact that none of them came back spoke volumes.

Every time the soldier came to deliver the message, he was always injured, and it was not the same soldier.

Ask them what happened to the last levy? The answer is always dead.

Those of them who are still reserve troops are already under such great pressure, and it is hard to say what the situation is like for those on the front lines.

At this time, a soldier frowned, lay on the ground and listened to the ground with his ears.

"Is there a sound... the sound of horse hooves?"

The sound he heard was strange.

As he did this, the other soldiers also felt it.

Look forward.

There is the road leading to the Gray Mountain Range.

"Have the weapons forged by the dwarves been delivered?"

Hearing this, another soldier slapped him on the back of the head. "Idiot, when have the dwarves ever come like this? And we didn't even receive any information. The dwarf prophet would have sent us a letter to notify us first."

Before they got the answer, they saw dust rising from afar.

Soon they saw a team rushing towards them.

"Dwarven troops?"

The soldiers watched from a distance.

After all, most of the troops Blake led were dwarves and halflings.

Except for a few humans, they looked like a dwarf army, with no difference.

Only when the troops arrived in front of them did the temporary captain of the soldiers come out.

"Hey everyone, who are you? We haven't received any notification that any goods have been delivered."

The captain watched.

Their attention was mainly focused on Blake and his companions. After all, it was quite rare to see humans in the dwarf team. What was more important was the peculiar mounts of Blake and his companions.

For the people of the Kingdom of Cohen, Chocobos are a rare creature that they have rarely seen, let alone seeing someone wearing armor and riding on one.

"We are the Night's Watch, and we have important information to convey to Gray Mountain Fortress."

"Night Watch?" The captain of the soldiers frowned. He had never heard of such a name.

Getari came out riding a war sheep: "Hey! Don't you recognize me? I drank with you before."

"Have you been drinking?" The captain of the soldiers looked at Getari carefully for a long time before slapping his head.

"Oh, it's you. I remember your name is...Ge..." He couldn't remember for a moment.

"Getari."

"Yes, yes, that's the name. So what are you going to do? Bringing so many and fully armed." The soldier captain asked again with a frown.

"Send a letter. We have intercepted some intelligence from the vampires regarding the attack on you.

Therefore, we must hurry to the fortress, pass on the intelligence, and provide some support."

Hearing the dwarf's words, the soldier captain nodded quickly.

"In that case, let's go."

It wasn't that he wasn't alert enough, but the people on the other side were dwarves after all. The friendly exchanges between the Kingdom of Cohen and this group of dwarves had lasted for hundreds of years.

The kingdom has been developing peacefully since its establishment.

So these soldiers didn't think there was anything wrong at all.

After the passage was released, Blake and others accelerated forward.

Under Eric's leadership, they soon reached the road leading to Gray Mountain Fortress.

"There are so many refugees." Popot couldn't help but say as he looked at the refugees around him while riding on his Chocobo.

They were passing through a city at this time and saw a large number of refugee camps around the city.

Blake looked at these refugees with a slightly gloomy expression.

"These refugees were originally citizens of the Kingdom of Safro. Unfortunately, the kingdom betrayed them, those damned monsters."

"Speed up, we are in a hurry now." Getari said while riding on the war sheep.

After walking all the way, we soon arrived at an area near the limestone fortress. There were a large number of military camps and a lot of supplies piled up around it.

There is a checkpoint ahead.

Blake and his team were so conspicuous that they had attracted their attention before they even reached the testing point.

Soldiers were already waiting for them around the checkpoint.

Blake took a quick look and found that almost half of these soldiers were suffering from various injuries, which meant that all of them were seriously injured on the front line.

While they are recovering, they are being transferred to some safe posts in the rear. They cannot get a complete rest at this time.

From this, Blake could see that the situation on the front line might be very bad for Cohen.

The officer, still wrapped in bandages, stopped them.

Blake and the others quickly explained their purpose.
However, the officer only frowned and said seriously, "The situation on the front line is tense right now. I can't just let you go."

"What happened?" A knight wearing fine full body armor walked over quickly.

From the weapons and equipment on his body and the symbols engraved on them, it can be seen that he and these soldiers do not seem to belong to the same force.

However, the surrounding soldiers seemed to respect the approaching knight and made way for him.

Blake looked at the knight and immediately recognized him from his attire.

He looks very similar to Anita, which proves that the knight must be the Paladin of the Church of Holy Light that Anita mentioned.

The officer quickly explained the situation

The paladin looked at Black, but Black immediately raised his right hand, and a faint holy light emanated from his right hand.

"Holy Light?" the knight exclaimed.

The soldiers next to him were also very surprised.

"This proves that our purpose is not dangerous," said Blake.

The Paladin looked at Blake, and this time he looked at the team seriously.

You don’t know until you see it, it’s really amazing when you take a closer look.

Humans, dwarves, halflings, and that's a round-eared ratman, right?

This group of humans are riding on Chocobos. It's amazing that some people have actually tamed such violent creatures as Chocobos to use as mounts.

"Are you from the Gray Mountain Dwarfs' team? Why are there all kinds of races?" Although this team has the most dwarves, there are other people mixed in. He has never heard that the Gray Mountain Dwarves have any exchanges with these strange races.

And if he was not mistaken, the knight in front who could use holy light was actually the leader.

A large group of dwarves and other races, led by a human?
"We are the Night's Watch." Although Blake knew that no one else had heard of it, he still promoted the organization to which he and his companions belonged.

From the very beginning, Kana said that they were not some dark force hiding in plain sight, but wanted to display their ideas and strength in an upright manner.

"Night's Watch? Never heard of it... Wait, no, a knight who wields holy light. Aren't you a Lightbather?"

The paladin seemed to have thought of something and widened his eyes.

Blake nodded. "A paladin named Anita once called me that."

"Anita? I remember now, he did seem to have told us about her, and she also mentioned the Night Watch.

It seems you do have important intelligence to report. Please move aside and let them in."

This paladin had obviously confirmed the identities of Blake and others in front of him and invited them in.

After everyone went in, they found that this seemed to be a large camp, and the area around the camp was almost entirely filled with wounded people.

Looking at the wounds on these wounded soldiers, you can tell that they had just been evacuated from the front line not long ago, and there are still a lot of supplies piled up around them.

This shows how fierce the war was.

It seemed that because of the holy light on Blake, the paladin treated them as his own.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Fag, Fag Gus, an ordinary paladin of the Holy Light Church."

"Black, a night watchman."

Fag nodded with a smile: "Night Watch, it seems that you are a new organization."

He wasn't particularly interested in the Night's Watch or anything like that. The world was so big that there would always be some weird little teams.

There's nothing to understand.

"As you can see, this is the logistics camp for the Graystone Fortress. Most of the wounded will be transported here for treatment, or... wait to die."

"Waiting to die?" Popot, who was riding on the Chocobo next to Blake, frowned and looked a little confused.

Blake and the dwarves behind him were not surprised. This was completely normal.

In many cases, the death rate of wounded soldiers is very high. Whether it is due to insufficient medicine or treatment methods, or insufficient mana, serious injuries cannot be treated.

"Yeah, and... well, enough talking, Anita Knight is here."

Perhaps having heard the news from here, a female knight strode over.

It was Anita, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

She waved and greeted Blake and the others.

"Long time no see. The holy light in your body... is even brighter." She said with a smile.

Blake nodded: "Thanks to your highness."

"Speaking of Cana, why didn't I see him? And why did you bring so many dwarves? There were even halflings."

It had only been half a year since they last met, and Anita felt that the people behind Blake looked a little unfamiliar.

"They, they are all my companions now, all of them are members of the Night's Watch."

When these words came out, Anita's eyes widened in shock.

"Are they all Night's Watchmen?"

There was a hint of disbelief in her voice as she looked towards the dwarves behind Blake.

She had dealt with this group of dwarves before. Although the dwarves' faces were more or less similar to humans, Anita knew some important members.

For example, Getari.

Moreover, the dwarves who were selected in the first batch and followed Kana and others to the Kingdom of Safro were all the best of Ashforge.

She even saw the two dwarf guards who had accompanied the messenger from the Kingdom of Cohen to Lakeside Village.

Have these all joined the Night's Watch?
Are you kidding her? There are many important members of the dwarves here.

If this is the case, it means that the Grey Mountain Dwarves are highly bound to the Night's Watch.

Her heart was in turmoil, but on the surface, Anita had controlled her emotions.

"That's amazing! It's only been less than a year, and you've already grown so big?"

Blake smiled slightly, he was also happy about this.

"Let's stop chatting, we are here with a mission." Popot reminded from behind.

Blake nodded and looked at Anita: "Can I talk to the prince or the leader of the church? We have important information here that concerns the safety of Vitra City."

"Vitla City?" Anita frowned.

……

"How are the preparations for the attack on Vitra City going?" At the front line of the Graystone Fortress, in the opposite vampire command camp.

Martin asks here.

"Haha, General, don't worry. We will be the vanguard of the attack, and it should have already begun. You just need to wait for the news to reach the front line and then attack the Graystone Fortress with all your strength."

In front of Martin was a vampire tailor wearing a robe and with a gray face.

Hearing this, Martin looked at him and said, “In that case, I hope you can succeed.

Whether you succeed or fail, as long as you stir up chaos, that’s enough.”

In fact, Martin didn't count on the other party at all. He didn't take the other party's behavior into account in his plan from beginning to end, because he didn't trust these lunatics at all.

Regardless of whether these cultists attacked the city of Vitra or not, the capture of the limestone fortress on the front line was a foregone conclusion.

All Martin needed to do was to break through the limestone fortress in one go and consume a large amount of the enemy's manpower here, so that the subsequent offensive would be smooth enough.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to waste time here and give the enemy an illusion.

They were able to hold their own against us at their fortress.

Thinking of this, Martin looked at the tailor in front of him and said unkindly: "Control those lunatics under your command. I don't want those crazy, disobedient bastards in my army."

As soon as these words were spoken, an extremely gloomy expression appeared on the pale face of the tailor in front of him.

"They are all believers of our Lord, called upon to glory."

"Heh." Martin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and waved his hand to send him away.

As soon as the tailor left, another vampire knight walked in.

"Something happened in Giant Rock City."

"Situation? What situation?" Martin asked with a frown.

Giant Rock City should be the heart of the country. What kind of trouble could happen, especially at this time?

“There was a mobile force that wreaked havoc in the country, and they stole the gems that the king had ordered to be found.

Furthermore, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince caused chaos in Giant Rock City, resulting in the deaths of many vampires."

Hearing this news, Martin frowned with a question mark in his head.

"The Fourth Prince?"

"Yes."

"Interesting, two traitors, one fighting in the fortress, and one of us attacking from the inside to divert our attention?"

The knight shook his head slightly when he heard this: "It seems that is not the case. His Highness the Fourth Prince's goal is those gems. He is stirring up chaos in Giant Rock City in an attempt to snatch the gems from the princess.

They have escaped through the encirclement and have made their way to the Gray Mountains."

"Forget it, never mind that, our attention must now be on the fortress.

Go and prepare, we will take him down in the next few days."

"Yes!"
