Raylo rode on the back of Baofeng, the Storm Griffin King, soaring high in the sky.
By this time, the main force led by Count Gao Wen had already charged toward their next target.
Baofeng's tawny Iron Feathers rustled in the wind. The rider and his mount, like a golden bolt of lightning, quickly flew past the marching columns of the Black Stone Territory.
The land ahead was no longer flat wheat fields, but a series of rolling, ochre-red hills.
In the distance, a castle constructed entirely of crimson rock and black iron appeared in his field of view.
It sat atop a massive iron ore mountain, its position perilous. The walls were taller and thicker than those of Golden Wheat Castle, resembling a giant beast of steel coiled on the summit, exuding a coarse and solid aura.
Above the castle, a black flag with a red sigil fluttered—crossed hammers and an anvil.
Red Iron Castle, the territory of the Valen Family.
