A Chance to Relax

The Iron Citadel, situated near the center of the Demon Continent could be described with one word, hectic. It was a solemn- looking fortress with very heavy defenses including several walls and various towers. There were soldiers everywhere, training hard and doing mock battles with each other. 

As it was Nie Xia's fortress, many of them were experts in close combat, using one's own hands to fight along with swords and other types of weapons. But it was different compared to the North Fort, the atmosphere wasn't quite as tense.

Rather, everyone seemed to move with a smile, they were very friendly with each other. 

Everyone arrived in a tired manner but was welcomed by the soldiers of the Iron Citadel. 

The gates were opened wide as everyone was lined up outside. As soon as the four commanders arrived they marched forward and saluted. 

"The soldiers of the Iron Citadel welcomes the Commanders!"
