BXBX NOVEL Chapter 98 98: Eldorin And His Group Arrive At Eternal City (Part 1)
Dryden paused, looking out at the city and the people who had gathered to support him. He knew that he had a lot of work to do to stabilize the kingdom and rid it of corruption.
"For now, we must continue to root out corruption and restore order," he said. "We must make sure that every citizen of this kingdom feels safe and secure, and that justice is served to those who have been wronged."
His followers nodded in agreement, and Dryden knew that he could count on them to help him achieve his goals.
But his thoughts were also on the Eternal City, the mysterious place in the endless forest that held a dungeon of great power.
However, that would have to wait. For now, his duty was to the people of his kingdom, and he would not rest until he had secured their future and their trust.
Dryden looked out at the city once more, feeling a sense of purpose and determination that he had not felt in years. He was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, and he knew that with the support of his people, he would emerge victorious.

The next day, the people of the Tudela Kingdom were at the city\'s gate, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the white robe people\'s reinforcements. The atmosphere was tense, as everyone knew the gravity of the situation and the importance of the upcoming expedition to the Endless Forest.
Suddenly, a group of twenty people dressed in white robes emerged from the distance, walking confidently towards the gate. As they drew nearer, the people of the kingdom were awestruck by their aura. It was as if they were surrounded by an invisible power, emanating from the cultivation levels of each individual.
The lowest cultivation level among them was at the middle-stage Qi Gathering Realm, and the rest were at even higher levels. Their presence alone was enough to make the people of the kingdom feel safer and more confident in their mission.
The white robe people stepped forward and greeted the king and his officials with respect, and the king returned the gesture. "Thank you for coming to aid us on this important expedition," the king said, bowing deeply.
Eldorin smiled warmly and replied, "Don\'t mention it, we are also interested in this dungeon, Your Majesty." He continued, "We are ready to depart, now."
The king nodded in appreciation and turned to his officials, "Prepare to depart immediately. We cannot waste any time."
With that, the group set off on their journey towards the Endless Forest, with the white robe people leading the way. The people of the kingdom followed closely behind, feeling reassured by the powerful aura and confident demeanor of their allies.
As they journeyed further, the group suddenly encountered soldiers and cultivators from the neighboring Kingdom of Como. The people of the Kingdom of Como were initially cautious and on guard, but after seeing the familiar armor of the Tudela Kingdom, they were relieved and greeted them warmly.
The two generals, who had become friends fighting together on the frontlines against the Plague Sect, greeted each other with a friendly hug. "It\'s good to see you again, my friend," the general from the Kingdom of Como said, smiling. "I\'m glad we can fight together once more."
The Tudela Kingdom general nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it\'s an honor to be fighting alongside you and your troops again." He gestured towards Eldorin, "And let me introduce you to Eldorin, our esteemed guest who has helped us in our battles against monsters and demons."
The general from the Kingdom of Como turned towards Eldorin, bowing respectfully. "It\'s an honor to meet you, Master Eldorin. We\'ve heard of your people\'s great deeds and the great monster they defeated. Thank you for your bravery and for saving our kingdom."
Eldorin nodded in return, "The pleasure is mine, General. It\'s always good to meet fellow warriors who share our common goals and fight for the safety of our people."
The two groups then continued their journey together towards the rumored city in the Endless Forest.

As they finally arrived at the entrance of the forest, they were shocked to see a sign with a road leading into the endless forest. The sign read, "Welcome to the Eternal City." The group was taken aback by this unexpected development, as they had expected to enter an uncharted territory filled with danger and beasts.
Eldorin and the generals exchanged puzzled looks, and the soldiers murmured amongst themselves. They had all heard the stories of the Endless Forest and the beasts that lurked within it. This sign seemed to contradict everything they knew about the forest.
One of the soldiers spoke up, "This is impressive, they even build a road in the forest. It\'s supposed to be full of beasts and impossible to navigate." The rest of the group murmured in agreement, expressing their disbelief.
The group proceeded cautiously, and to their surprise, they didn\'t encounter any beasts along the road. The forest was eerily quiet, and the only sounds were the rustling of leaves and the occasional bird chirping. The group couldn\'t believe their luck and wondered if they had stumbled upon a rare moment of peace in the forest.
As they journeyed deeper into the forest, the group grew more and more curious about this mysterious city they had heard so much about. They wondered who lived there, how they had managed to build a city in the middle of a dangerous forest, and what secrets it held.
Finally, after some time, the group arrived at the city\'s gates. They were greeted by a newly built wall, which was impressive in its construction, although it was not as grand as the walls of their capital city.
