Kant wiped his greasy mouth with a towel as he got up and left the council hall.
The food prepared for this banquet was indeed abundant. Although it was obvious that it was hastily prepared, the fresh ingredients were indeed the delicacies that they loved as they could only eat dried meat and bread during the journey.
In fact, even the" Drondheim" Castle, located in the Oasis Lookout, couldn't eat such fresh ingredients.
It was a rich gift from the Senwaya Range.
The mountains were rugged.
However, the richness of the natural resources was amazing.
The Rhodok people were originally residents of the mountains. They had a good adaptability to the Senwaya Range. Now, they had come to the Senwaya Range and established their new "Aaron" Town, the tenacity that the Rhodok people used to be proud of and their excellent survival ability in the mountains were fully utilized.
Whether it was the exploration of the surrounding mountains or the development of the nearby mountains, the Rhodok people were at ease. They even cleared the nearby threats with the help of the Ravenstern people, who were used to fight in the mountains.
For example, the carnivores, the more terrifying demonized creatures, including the Jackalan that lived in the Senwaya Range.
They had been cleared out.
Even if there were some of them escaped occasionally, they would not pose much of a threat.
Almost every few days, the hunting team formed by the Ravenstern Rangers and Rhodok Trained Crossbowmen would once again clear the surrounding mountains and ravines to ensure the safety of the civilians when they moved around here.
Relying on the five-meter-tall city wall built along the rock layers along the mountainside and the seven-meter-tall arrow tower, they moved very quickly. As the trees on the surrounding mountains were cut down, clearing the space inside and outside the city walls added a bit of security, as long as there was danger that the hunting team could not deal with, the footmen on guard on the city walls could come to support at any time.

He wore a thick helmet and held a heavy machete that looked like a long halberd in both hands. On his back was a wide shield that looked like a small door, and on his waist was a Rhodok battle knife.
This was the tall and strong Rhodok Sergeant, who looked like a rock in the mountain area of Rhodoks.
He was a top-tier level 5 footman.
His defense was extremely strong. Even if he encountered the strongest level 6 footmen, the Nord Royal Guards would be able to fight him.
If they were to fight in the mountains, the throwing effect of the flying axes of the Nord Royal Guards would be weakened. These Rhodok Sergeants would form a long halberd formation to defend against the enemy. If they were to fight in close combat with broad shields and battle sabers, their combat strength would be able to suppress the Nord Royal Guards, they could be said to be a fortress on the battlefield!
With such a high defense, even a demonized creature would not be able to break through it. With their combined strength and excellent military formation, they were able to strangle the Nord Royal Guards in the cage.
Even the more powerful savaged demonized creatures, together with Rangers and snipers, died miserably!
In the cave on the side of the hill.
In order to prevent the appearance of demonized creatures and demons, James had specially arranged for 10 of the strongest Rhodok Sergeants to be stationed on the small platform outside.
Every day, there would be a patrol team with torches entering the ruins of the temple inside to patrol.
It was to ensure safety.
After all, this cave was connected to the ancient passage. Although Kant had already explored the underground city of the karst cave, his exploration was not completely effective. The area of the underground city, the subterranean river and the ancient passage, also led to a deeper place, a place that had not yet been explored was an unknown place!
Even if there were demons and demonized creatures, Kant would not be surprised. That was why before he left, he had instructed James to guard this place carefully to ensure that nothing unexpected would happen.

If there was really danger...
Their town would suffer the most direct impact!
The construction of the city wall was slightly above the bottom of the mountain, just outside the cave. It could be said that if an enemy rushed out of the cave, they would come into contact with the inside of the town.
Although there was a circle of city wall at the top of the mountain, it was only half a meter high. Even with the help of the arrow tower, it was basically useless.
It was only to provide warning, lookout, and command purposes.
Of course, fortunately, they had not encountered any enemies that appeared in the ancient passage. Under strict defense, the underground ruins of the temple were very peaceful.
There was no abnormal situation.
Rhodok Sergeants held torches and took the lead to enter the cave, entering the ruins of the temple.
Behind them was Kant, who was leading the civilians who were carrying four long ladders. As the temperature dropped, a gloomy and cold aura circulated, and soon, the cave that extended downwards, passed through the stone doors, and entered the ruins of the temple.
"What a miracle."
The mages from the Enfath Empire exclaimed.
Even the experienced Lion Knights raised their heads in surprise, looking at the ruins in front of them with a look of amazement.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})They had never been here before, and even the seven mages who had seen all of this still had emotional expressions on their faces. They had a heartfelt admiration for the glory of the era of the gods and the ancient era.
In terms of architecture alone, the descendants of the gods in the ancient era of the gods were not inferior to the Enfath Empire.
This was a glorious and praiseworthy achievement!
In the vast space, the huge statue was carved out of the entire rock stratum. Although it had become slightly blurry over time, one could still see the power of the past, which was enough to shock one's soul.
On the rock stratum above one's head, there were two dim yellow light pillars refracting the light, making the entire temple ruins dim at any time. However, one could still vaguely see things up close, just like the moonlight in the dark clouds.
At the bottom of the statue, there were two coffins placed on the platform.
Next to them were two corpses lying on the ground.
Vaguely, one could see the golden robes and the black robes. The two robes were parallel to each other, but also seemed to be opposite. Under the dim yellow light released by the sun disk, there was a hint of mystery.
Those were the goddess and the witch who had been killed by Kant.
And the inner coffin that was completely made of gold that was covered in the stone coffin.
"Be careful!"
Bunduk commanded from the side.
In front of them, the peasants were holding a wooden ladder that was 10 meters long and 3 meters wide. They carefully came to the side of the underground river. Along with the roaring current, they carefully leaned the ladder on the edge of the stone platform in front of them with the help of the hard stones on the shore.
The other peasant's ladder also leaned over and was easily placed in two sections, just enough to isolate the underground river.
The simple wooden bridge based on the wooden ladder was completed.
The peasant climbed up carefully. After making sure that the wooden ladder was stable, he walked to the stone platform and came back. Only then did he report to and the others with certainty, indicating that the construction was successful.
"Lord Kant, it's done."
Bunduk reported.
"Yes.", Kant nodded, but he turned to the back and ordered, "Let the rangers go up and take a look."
"Yes!"
The 10 Ravenstern Rangers immediately complied.
They held heavy bows in their hands and walked quickly to the side of the underground river. They stepped on the wooden ladder and walked to the stone platform nimbly. They cooperated with each other in an orderly manner. There were also people who pulled out the two-handed greatswords on their backs and quickly checked the stone platform.
There was once an abnormal situation there. It was the two women who had turned into corpses.
They had to be careful.
The mages were behind Kant and looked at the stone platform with solemn expressions.
The eighteen of them discussed with each other in low voices. Their expressions were uncertain towards the aura that was still lingering in the surroundings. Especially towards the two corpses, they broke out into a more intense discussion.
Their voices were so loud that they caught Kant's attention.
"What's going on?", Kant asked.
"We found something different."
The mages reported, "Those two corpses seem to be the product of pure positive energy bodies and negative energy bodies. How should I put it? Although they look like humans, they are more similar to Master Bunduk."
"I don't quite understand.", Kant frowned.
"Well, it can be understood as a natural extraordinary physique that doesn't require training."
The mages explained, "It's like Master Bunduk still needs to be developed, and those two corpses have already been developed. They are truly powerful existences. However, I can also feel that this pure energy has almost dissipated, and they have lost their lives. Only the last bit of pure elemental energy remains."
"Got it.", Kant shook his head. In fact, he still did not understand magic.
"It's safe!"
In front, ten Ravenstern Rangers finished searching the stone platform. After confirming that there was no danger, they waved their hands.
Kant turned to the mages and said, "Go and take a look." At the same time, he instructed the Lion Knights, "You guys follow closely. If you encounter any danger, protect these mages first."
"Yes!", the Lion Knights immediately responded.
The mages' physiques were very poor.
Their physiques were probably not even comparable to that of a level-3 footmen.
They could only be considered healthy adults. Compared to Kant, who had already been instilled with the Body of Knight, they were even more incomparable.
They were good at academic research and studying spells. They were not used to close combat. Therefore, the mages were better at casting spells from a long distance, and not close combat like the knights!
It was best to be careful. They stepped on the wooden ladder and stepped onto the stone platform on the opposite bank.
The stone platform beneath their feet was carved with circles of patterns.
It was mysterious and majestic.
It seemed to be a supreme decorative pattern passed down from the era of the ancient gods.
Kant had once seen all of this in books. After so many explorations, he now knew that this was the unique decorative pattern of the Sun God, a symbol of divine might.
But now, Kant was stepping on it.
He stepped forward.
The Lion Knights and mages surrounded him.
Outside was the Ravenstern Ranger, who held a heavy bow and two-handed greatsword.
If not for the limited load of the wooden ladder, the heavily armored, fortress-like would have come to protect him personally. After all, they were the footmen who were best at close combat, and were the best candidates to protect Kant.
However, with the extraordinary Lion Knights, this place would not be too much of a problem.
However, the mages narrowed their eyes.
Looking at the two corpses and then looking at the golden coffin inside the stone coffin, surprise appeared on their faces. They could not help but exclaim, "It's actually such a huge... strange object!"
