Chapter 686: Underground Shelter
Back in the Cromwell Barony, things were very peaceful since the last battle.
No demons had been sighted close to the town’s perimeters, and this gave the soldiers and denizens a moment of respite from the constant fights.
Still, just to be on the safe side, the Awakened were on high alert, patrolling the walls.
The makeshift tents were still placed outside.
Inside the town itself, the survivors from the neighboring kingdoms had integrated with the Cromwell populace very well. From the resources they had gotten from the dimensional rift in their town, they were able to afford more buildings.
Moreover, during the past months—when it seemed as if the Cromwell Barony would fall—the Ant Queen had ordered her colony to build a hidden underground shelter.
Even Nathan wasn’t aware of this, not even Nox, her master.
As of this moment, Nathan stood in one of the large open areas of the underground shelter with a speechless look on his face.
"When did you say all this happened again?" he asked, barely controlling his shock.
"Three months ago," she said. "When the fourth wave attacked, I was afraid we wouldn’t be able to hold for long, so I had this place built as a large resort."
"..." Nathan was speechless for some time. Despite the development in Cromwell Town, with more survivors coming in, the town was beginning to become crowded and less conducive for the inhabitants.
The Baron’s eyes glittered with excitement. "But with this place, we can ease the burden. You’re such a genius!" Nathan praised.
