Chapter 440 The Inaccessible Stronghold

boom!
The giant ball of light slammed into the fortress's shield, causing a violent explosion.

The members of the Order of the Lawful Knights stood in a specific formation, with several sacred threads connecting each of them.

In the sky, a massive aircraft spewed out holy light, and runes flashed around its body.

Numerous fourth and fifth-tier mages flew in the air, silently observing the battle.

"The Dawn Warship possesses terrifying firepower and consumes a huge amount of magic power, requiring only pure magic crystals to operate... This is a behemoth that is only used in war, and they even managed to get their hands on it?" Blake exclaimed in amazement.

Melina smiled slightly: "Exterminating heretics is no less important than war. The war airships are just sitting there anyway, so why not use them and let the heretics see our determination?"

Blake asked curiously, "How could the Holy Lord approve your use of such a powerful weapon?"

“It wasn’t originally going to be approved.” Melina pondered for a moment, then shook her head. “I don’t know why, but he suddenly approved it.”

Melina said with some regret, "However, he only gave me one pure magic crystal, and the rest are high-grade magic crystals, so I have to use them sparingly."

Blake suggested, "Actually, you don't need to save money. You can just become a Pure Magic Crystal."

Melina glanced at him: "I think you'd be a better fit."

Blake chuckled and looked at the endless stream of heretics emerging from the Deep Sea Aid Society.

"We have news from the camp: the pollution is spreading, and the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Association's intentions are very clear."

Melina nodded: "Now it all depends on Celia, but the chances are slim."

"Be prepared for the spread of pollution from the Golden Apple Stone Forest. Pollution in just one area is not enough to plunge the world into disaster again."

Melina nodded and said nothing more.

The two rushed forward and, together with the war airship, suppressed the enemy, forcing the leader of the Deep Sea Aid Society to come out and fight them.

Rumble!
The giant puppet stepped forward and engaged the two in battle.

In a corner unnoticed by everyone, Celia used a crack in the magic circle caused by the bombardment of the warships to slip into the deep-sea fortress.

Her mastery of advanced disguise allowed Celia to blend into the shadows, making her difficult to detect.

The deep-sea fortress is blocked by a tall wall, and inside it is like a miniature city built around the central fortress castle.

boom!
A violent explosion came from above. Celia looked up and was somewhat worried.

"Such formidable firepower! Could it be that the fortress has already been breached by the Knights of the Law before I even enter the castle?"

Ross's phantom appeared beside her and laughed, "That's possible, so hurry up."

Celia nodded, then quickly ran towards the central fortress, passing through wave after wave of infidels.

From the air, the deep-sea fortress doesn't look very big, but as you slowly walk on the ground, you realize how surprisingly large it is.

It stretches for at least several kilometers.

With the aid of Swiftness and Lightness spells, Celia nimbly dodged the heretics and the various magical aftershocks falling from the sky.

Soon, she arrived in front of the enormous fortress.

The central fortress of this fortress is not very tall, only a few dozen meters higher than the surrounding buildings, and the overall height is less than 200 meters.

Of course, from below, it looks quite tall; from below, you look like an ant.

"What a huge castle! Without any clues, it'll be difficult to find the access key before the battle ends..."

As she listened to the constant roaring sounds coming from the sky, Celia felt a sense of urgency.

Ross said, "Why don't you put yourself in their shoes? Where would you put something like this?" "It would definitely be in the most heavily guarded place... Speaking of which, I just felt like the magic array of the entire Golden Apple Stone Forest was activated. I don't know if it was just my imagination."

“No,” Ross said. “The Deep Sea has released the magic array from its restraints on the demonic energy pollution, and now, a large amount of pollution is spreading outwards.”

"Why so decisive?" Celia was startled and hurriedly entered the fortress.

Just then, a group of people walked towards us.

Celia quickly hid behind a pillar.

The group paused as they passed by, and the leading sorcerer looked at the pillar where Celia was hiding with a puzzled expression.

boom!
A deafening roar shook the earth.

"Quickly, go and provide support, don't stop."

When the voices of other heretics were heard, the group quickly left.

Celia patted her chest: "You scared me! It's only a fourth-tier mage. If a fourth-tier mage can detect me, what would it be like if it were a fifth-tier mage..."

Celia dared not think any further, for fear of accidentally giving herself a healer's gift.

"We can't just run around like headless flies. We need to think about what to do... Right, we can try invading the entire fortress's magic circle first, and see how this magic circle is built on top of the Golden Apple Stone Forest's magic circle."

Celia went to a corner, sensed it carefully, and then stretched out her mage hand, slowly disappearing into the magic circle that covered the entire fortress.

"Be careful, there might be a formation master here who is skilled in magic arrays. Don't let him discover us," Ross warned.

Celia nodded seriously, and the invasion became more cautious.

Soon, she realized something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, this magic circle... why does it look so much like the magic circle from the school?"

Celia still remembered the school magic circle she had 'accidentally' damaged before. It was a type of magic circle called the [Seven Star Towers]. This type of magic circle was very comprehensive, but its flaws were also obvious. The seventh star node, the Resting Star, was the weakness of the entire magic circle. Once it was found, the magic circle would be destroyed, just like what happened at the school.

A thought struck Celia, and her invasion immediately became more aggressive.

She was familiar with the Seven Star Towers.

Before long, Celia had grasped the information about the entire magic circle.

After checking each item one by one, she discovered an anomaly.

“There’s a hidden entrance beneath the castle… wait, this entrance doesn’t look real, it looks like it’s a disguise? But that doesn’t seem right either.” Celia frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Is it right or wrong?
Ross chuckled, “It can’t really be called a disguise. You’re right and wrong. It’s an underground base used to store a lot of things, and it’s also used for research. If the Holy Court attacks, it will draw attention to this base and thus overlook the entrance to another, very well hidden base.”

Celia's eyes lit up: "Where is that entrance?"

"The stronghold is underground, located beneath the Golden Apple Stone Forest magic array, and is concealed by the fluctuations of the magic array."

After a pause, Ross said calmly, "And this outpost has no entrance."

"No entrance?" Celia blinked, not quite understanding.

"There is no entrance connecting to the surface, and the access key you are looking for is hidden inside that stronghold. Under normal circumstances, if you want to dig down, you will inevitably run into the magic circle of the Golden Apple Stone Forest, which will block you from digging any further."

Celia's eyes widened. "There are such outposts? Completely underground, with no connection to the outside world?"

"Correct."

　Suddenly I feel so sleepy, it's strange.
