Chapter 3441
“Doesn’t that mean the underground fortress of Stonewall?” Solus asked after Lith had stored his contact amulet inside the pocket dimension.
“Indeed.” He nodded. “We have to move now, while it’s still day in the Kingdom and most members of the Undead Courts are either slumbering or severely weakened. Also, I need time to prepare for the meeting.
“Our truce with the Undead Courts will hold only until it suits both parties. I don’t trust Bhaz and until I’m certain he didn’t switch to Meln’s side for some idiotic reason, I’m
going to consider this a trap and prepare accordingly.”
The Stonewall Fortress owed its name to the fact that it had been carved out of a massive stone wall located in an underground network of caves located under the Feilun Region of the Griffon Kingdom.
The fortress was complete with lookout towers, battlements, a main keep, and an enormous gate made of Orichalcum. The entire length of the defensive walls was studded with enough mana crystals to light the entire cave despite it being over 60 meters (200′) tall.
The carving alone, even though performed by undead skilled in earth magic like Ghouls had taken decades to be completed. The main body of the fortress was encased by the cave, visible from a distance, but protected against flying enemies.
