"Let’s move, let’s move!"

"It’s a bit far, the location is over five hundred kilometers away from me. I’m afraid it will take a day or two to get there. Sigh, so tiring."

"Any brothers nearby? Let’s travel together. It’s a long journey, and it’s safer if we have each other’s company. This way, we can avoid too many unexpected incidents on the road!"

"Here, here, come to me, it’s on the way!"

"Okay!"

...

Soon, trialists across the Dark Land started to pack their things, check the map, and look for the best route to the destination. Some were also constantly in contact, planning to travel together to increase safety on the road.

No matter how much they feared Waldo before, or how much they hated him...

In this moment of crisis, no trialist was thinking about those things. Compared to their own lives, everything else was insignificant!

...

At this time, Waldo had already found a location to build the safe house. Based on the architectural pattern on the token, this safe house should be quite large. After all, it had to accommodate thousands of trialists, so a large space was necessary.

Waldo chose a vast plain. The Dark Land had no sun all year round, and wild winds ravaged the land. The ground was barren, without even a blade of grass, just naked, stiff, and cold soil and jagged rocks everywhere.

The wind lifted Waldo into the sky. From a hundred meters above, he looked down upon the area below.

"This place will do, a plain area, suitable for building a large safe house. Plus, the open view is better for observation. Liuli probably won’t come alone, there must be other helpers..."

Waldo pondered, and with a thought, the token in his hand flew out and exploded in mid-air. Then, it transformed into countless points of light, merging into the boundless darkness.

Below, on the desolate land, a dense fog rapidly appeared.

The fog spread, covering an area of several hundred meters.

Various sounds emanated from within the fog, and at the same time, purple lightning flickered, adding a sense of mystery.

Taking advantage of the construction of the safe house, Waldo uploaded the specific location to the public channel.

Half a day later, nearby trialists started to arrive.

"Waldo? What is he doing? Is this huge fog for building the safe house?"

"It must be. Such a huge fog, the safe house must be large and of a high level. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to withstand the attack of a fifth-level divine race!"

These trialists, surprised by the dense fog, then spotted Waldo in the sky, observing everything below.

The moment they saw Waldo, all of them showed signs of vigilance.

Even fear could be seen in their eyes. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

If it weren’t for the crisis triggered by the three-eyed divine race Liuli, Waldo would probably be the nightmare of all trialists.

Even now, aligned with Waldo, they couldn’t immediately dispel their fear and wariness of him.

However, fortunately, the current situation meant they didn’t need to worry too much.

They found a secluded spot, watched Waldo busy at work, and dared not disturb him.

They eagerly awaited the completion of the safe house!

...

Just then, in the sky, Waldo’s face relaxed.

"Done, it’s finally built!"

As soon as he spoke, a gust of wind blew, dispersing the thick fog.

Where the fog had been, there now stood a massive war castle.

It was built incredibly sturdy, giving off the impression that it was impervious to thousands of troops.

The walls of the war castle shimmered with countless runes.

The runes, forming streams of light, flowed along the walls. Once they were attacked, they would emerge, forming an indestructible defense.

Waldo moved and strode towards the castle.

For him, a few hundred meters was nothing significant.

In just two or three steps, he arrived at the central command area of the war castle.

This place was a high-positioned observation platform.

The situation outside the war castle could be clearly seen from here!

At the same time, specific information about the castle emerged in Waldo’s mind.

[Name: War Castle (Black Iron Castle)]

[Maximum Capacity: 2000 (currently, 1700 trialists remain alive)]

[Defensive Capability: Can withstand attacks up to level 7 trialists (equivalent to level 5 of the divine race)]

[Specific details about the castle: Note, the defensive power of the Black Iron Castle is directly proportional to the number of trialists and their strength. The more trialists, the stronger the protective power it can unleash, resisting external attacks!]

Reading the system’s introduction, Waldo’s understanding of the Black Iron Castle increased significantly.

First, the Black Iron Castle was purely defensive, a super-large safe house, with no offensive capabilities.

However, its defense was very impressive.

The defensive power of the Black Iron Castle depended on the number of trialists within it.

The more trialists there were, the more energy they could provide to the castle, significantly enhancing its defensive capabilities!

Understanding this, Waldo finally realized why the system had emphasized the need for unity among trialists.

"So that’s the reason. Only when all trialists unite and jointly activate the Black Iron Castle’s defense system can we withstand the assault of the fifth-level three-eyed divine race, Liuli!"

Waldo understood this clearly in his heart.

Then, he tried something.

He channeled his own power into the Black Iron Castle.

Boom!

Suddenly, the castle trembled.

Runes on the castle emerged, forming a thin protective shield!

However, due to the size of the castle...

Compared to the needs of the castle, Waldo’s power seemed somewhat insufficient.

Therefore, the protective shield appeared somewhat weak.

"With the Black Iron Castle here, at least we don’t have to worry about it being breached in the short term. But the fear is that this situation will just drag on..."

Even though the Black Iron Castle was there, Waldo felt somewhat relieved.

However, there were still some worries in his mind.

Next, Waldo posted photos of the Black Iron Castle along with some relevant introductions on the public channel for all trialists to see.

Instantly, the topic of the Black Iron Castle flooded the channel.

All the trialists were excited.

Because this castle would be a strong guarantee for their future safety.

"Great, just looking at this castle gives me a sense of power and dominance, it must be able to block the attack of the three-eyed divine race!"

"So imposing! Even through the video, it gives a reassuring sense of security, truly invaluable!"

"Hurry, hurry, everyone speed up, get to the Black Iron Castle as soon as possible! The sooner we arrive, the more secure we’ll be!"

At this moment, the trialists on their way spontaneously hastened their pace.

Meanwhile, more trialists continued to arrive at the destination.

Upon arrival, they were awestruck by the majestic and vast aura of the Black Iron Castle.

Compared to previous safe houses, this Black Iron Castle was much more imposing.

If the previous ones were thatched huts, this castle was a true mansion.
