Chapter 1309: Chapter 872: Containers Everywhere

Abyss.

The group was gaining knowledge in the Blood Pit Fortress.

Astonished by the resources in front of them.

Abis merely smiled at them, but did not linger long in the resource area.

Leading the delegation along the main road, pressed by the mountain of supplies, towards the core region of the fortress.

Passing through this area filled with industrial power, the view finally opened up a bit.

Beyond several rows of uniformly planned, also stacked with backup resources but at a slightly lower density, barrack-like longhouses, the core of the fortress - the main fortress - stood prominently in the distance.

Through a straight road, it was clearly visible, without any buildings blocking the middle.

It was a massive construction entirely in a pure, dazzling white.

Amidst the extremely dull-toned Abyss, a fortress in pure white, even dazzling white, exhibited absolute power.

The mere contrast of this color with the surrounding environment could warm one’s heart.

At first glance, it made one feel enlightened and bright, even involuntarily expelling a breath of turbid air.

That’s what they were doing now.

Look closely.

Unlike the coarse exterior style of the fortress, its lines were cold and sharp, full of geometric beauty.

This structure represented order, a tidy beauty.

The Elf members in the team were already gawking.

Very simply, in the most beautiful constructions, Elves are undoubtedly unrivaled.

But much of the Elves’ beauty is a natural beauty, a fusion of order and chaos, or intricate beauty.

However, this kind of order amid chaos, a clarity of form, simple and neat pure color beauty, was something they rarely saw.

Contrasted with its surroundings, a feeling of longing arose.

For the Night Watchers, their aesthetics were somewhat led by Kana.

And Kana’s aesthetics were that of their former world; he personally preferred the beauty of pure order.

Plus, the Night Watchers liked to create wonders, and they had authority in architectural beauty.

And that building’s white wasn’t a soft ivory white, but more like solidified light-forged stone.

This made it appear sacred and orderly, adding strength instead of softness.

Gray and gold magic runes outlined the building’s contour lines, incredibly dense, like a gigantic energy net covering the entire building, slowly flowing and operating.

A powerful magic defense field rippled invisibly, slightly distorting the air near the surface of the main fortress, making one doubtless about its solidness.

Due to the distance, they could slightly look up and see the top of the castle.

In the air above the main fortress, floated two peculiarly shaped floating towers.

They weren’t towering into the clouds, more like floating diamond-shaped fortresses, with a heavy base and sharp tips, entirely covered in silvery-gray metal armor, also filled with rune arrays shimmering with faint light.

It was clear that they weren’t originally here, more like structures sent or temporarily built.

After all, the style was unified, but the color scheme did seem off.

Atop one tower, a huge treasure bead emitting immense magical radiance was embedded, like a second miniature sun.

It cast gentle sacred rays, reflecting with the pale golden dome of the iron flower above, providing additional purification and light to the entire core area.

This was one of the light sources seen from afar earlier.

This was also the use of Night Watchers’ floating tower technology.

Through multiple constructions of wonders and absorbing some knowledge from the Magic Council members, the Night Watchers’ technology for building floating towers and floating cities had become sophisticated, even modularized.

Diverse functional floating towers were already established throughout the Night Watchers’ regions.

Abis wandered leisurely with them inside the fortress.

Walking forward.

Some simple yet clean and orderly shops began to appear along the sides of the main road, like a small tranquil harbor carved out beside the ocean of steel resources.

Most shop signs were simple.

"Standard Rations," "Leather Workshop · Repairs," "Basic Alchemical Auxiliary Materials," "Standard Armor Repair," and so on.

The setup inside was simple and clear, shelves neatly categorized with clothing, tool bags, basic potion bottles, sharpening stones, leather repair items, and other life essentials and combat supplies.

Night Watchers, Avengers, and even some merchant crew members passing by had calm expressions, entering and exiting shops in an orderly fashion, differing from the efficient and murderous atmosphere outside in the resource area.

Here, there was more of a calm that maintained basic orderly life despite being on the battlefield.

"This place... feels like a small community."

Sofia couldn’t help but whisper; she noticed that many non-Night Watcher warriors, though weary, lacked the numb despair often seen on the outskirts of the Blood War Fortress, replaced with a calm holding hopeful goals.

The atmosphere in the core area felt "cleaner," the iron flower’s brilliance and the treasure bead’s light above seemed to dispel deeper gloom.

This was novel.

Although other family residential areas in the Blood War Fortress had similar atmospheres, the issue was that the Blood Pit Fortress was established temporarily, and now was under prolonged attack.

Under such circumstances, the Blood Pit Fortress should be in an intensely murderous atmosphere.

Yet this tranquility was indeed unexpected for them.

But it also indirectly confirmed the strength of the Night Watchers and their effortless grace.
