"Looks like Bishop Karl wasn't lying. This fortress is really understaffed."
Fangzheng couldn't help but frown as he looked at the situation in front of him. He saw very clearly that after the city wall was blasted down by the beam cannon of the Magical Beast Lord just now, the first thing the people in other places wanted to do was to help. That was normal. After all, if the gap was not blocked, the magical beasts could rush in through it, and the other walls would be useless.
But the problem was …. They were understaffed.
According to Fangzheng's observation, the defenders of the Northern Fortress and the magical beasts were almost maintaining a fragile balance, so the number of defenders in the Northern Fortress was barely enough to defend the city wall. If they reduced their manpower again, the other places would also be breached. Therefore, they couldn't leave to go to the gap and could only continue to fight the magical beasts on the city wall.
Fortunately, Xia Shi and Cui reacted quickly. The magical beasts that rushed into the gap were stopped by them, and the balance of the entire line of defense was just barely maintained. Otherwise, it would only be a matter of time before the first line of defense completely collapsed. From this point of view, Wales's previous worries were not exaggerated. Instead of waiting for the first line of defense to completely collapse, it was better to preserve as much manpower as possible in the main camp to fight the enemies to the death ….
But according to Fangzheng's experience, it was usually the villains who did this …. and they all failed in the end.
But this alone wasn't enough ….
With this in mind, Fangzheng raised his right hand and pulled out the vampire from the void. He looked at the pitch-black land ahead of him. He looked at the dark land in front of him, and the countless Chaos magical beasts that covered the entire ground.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fangzheng carefully observed the attacking movements of the Chaos magical beasts. He found that they were acting almost entirely on instinct. It was like playing a game where you circled a Zerg and then F2A, and then the game would be up to fate. Where and how the Zerg would attack next depended entirely on the AI's own ability and luck. The Chaos Daemons seemed to have such intentions, and the evidence was that after the Magical Beast Lord blasted a hole in the city wall, any race with a little bit of intelligence would immediately choose to launch a fierce attack from here.
But the Chaos creatures seemed to be out of their minds as they stared at the enemies in front of them. If Xia Shi and Bushcui hadn't attracted the attention of some Chaos creatures, they wouldn't have cared about this' tactical operation 'at all. But with their almost endless numbers, there really wasn't a need for them to do so …
It was time for him to make a move.
Fangzheng looked at the huge sword in his hand and smirked. Then, he raised the huge sword. Following Fangzheng's movement, the flow of time around him began to slow down, and then — — stopped in an instant.
Sword of Two.
The dazzling lightning, which was like the birth of the world, instantly enveloped the entire battlefield. For a moment, the originally pitch-black land was completely enveloped by lightning and turned into a sea of light. Countless Chaos creatures were blasted into ashes by the lightning bolts. The dazzling lightning bolts were so dazzling that even the defenders on the city walls couldn't help but turn around and shield their eyes with their hands.
"Phew …"
Putting down the sword in his hand, Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief. As far as the eye could see, almost all the monsters on the other side of the horizon had been completely destroyed by the surging waves of lightning. They maintained their carbonized posture and stood upright on the ground like stone statues. But at the next moment, as a breeze blew past, the charred monsters shattered into pieces and soon turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.
"As expected, it's really hard to fight in a place like this."
Staring warily into the distance, Fangzheng shook his head helplessly. Although he had long heard rumors about the Order border from Bishop Karl and Shi Dong, it wasn't until he experienced it himself that Fangzheng realized why the holy knights found it hard to resist the Chaos creatures.
For example, in the world of Order, when Fangzheng used his skills, he felt as though he was on a 5G network. He could launch and retract his skills instantaneously without any delay. But here at the Twilight Border, Fangzheng felt that his "signal" seemed to be strongly restricted. It was difficult for him to even reach 3G, let alone 5G.
The further he was from the border area of Northern Fortress, the more unstable Fangzheng felt his power. Whether it was the Chain Lightning of the Second Sword or Fangzheng's ability to manipulate time, they all gradually became less coherent. It was as though the network had changed from WIFI to 2G in an instant, and it was even "disconnected"!
No wonder the Northern Fortress could only passively defend here for so many years. It was because the basic Order network was not in place.
As this thought flashed through Fangzheng's mind, he saw a beam of light coming from a distance, passing through his body and hitting the ground. Fangzheng's body was completely blown to pieces by the beam of light, but the next moment, he reappeared at the city wall.
"This thing actually knows how to sneak attack … .It's not stupid after all …."
As if in response to Fangzheng's words, the angry and unwilling howl of the demonic beast lord came from afar. But in any case, at least for now, the crisis facing the defensive line had been temporarily resolved.
"Phew …."
Seeing that the demonic beasts were completely annihilated, the soldiers and paladins on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief. They put down the weapons in their hands and showed expressions of having survived a disaster. In fact, most people did not know what was going on, but they were sure that someone must have come to help!
"This …."
At this moment, on the tower of the fortress headquarters at the back, Commander Wales also saw the shocking scene. Compared to the others, he knew better where that powerful force came from … .It was a force that only legendary powerhouses were qualified to use!
Is that young man actually a legendary powerhouse?
With this in mind, Wales found it unbelievable. Although he had only exchanged a few words with Fangzheng, he could tell that Fangzheng was young, yet he possessed such strength. It was no wonder Fangzheng had confidently guaranteed that he could defend the first line of defense. From the looks of it, the young man hadn't been bragging!
And now was the chance!
These thoughts flashed through Commander Wales' mind in a flash. He did not even have the time to marvel at how the Kingdom of Saints had such an outstanding young man, because the demonic beasts had already been annihilated, and this was the best time for them to defend the northern fortress!
"Quick, send a signal immediately and ask everyone to set off immediately to repair the defensive line! Quick!! "
Following Commander Wales's loud roar, a mage beside him immediately raised the staff in his hand and shot three light balls into the sky. Seeing the signal, the paladins who were already on standby hurriedly set off and rushed towards the distant defensive line.
However, the Chaos creatures were faster than them.
Although Fangzheng's Sword of Two instantly cleared all the Chaos creatures on the battlefield in front of the defensive line of the Order fortress, it did not take long before more Chaos creatures swarmed over from the distant horizon. Not only that, but this time, the huge demonic beast lord was also mixed in. Obviously, it did not intend to wait any longer.
"Everyone, pick up your weapons and prepare for battle!!"
One of the team leaders raised his sword and bellowed at the sight of the Chaos Beasts charging at them once again. He looked back at the three balls of light that were emitting a dazzling light in the night sky, like flares, and then turned around.
"Reinforcements from the rear will arrive soon. Before that, you must defend this place even if you have to put your lives on the line!!"
"Oh —!!"
Hearing this, the soldiers on the city wall immediately shouted. If they were said to be exhausted just now, they had regained the strength and courage to fight now.
"I-I'm going to continue fighting too …"
As he spoke, the paladin who fell from the city wall stood up again with his sword in hand. But just as he was about to step forward, the twintailed girl from before appeared in front of him again.
"You don't have to fight so hard, Uncle. You haven't recovered from your injuries yet."
"Thank you, little one."
Looking at the twintailed girl in front of him, the paladin couldn't help but smile and nod at her.
"I don't know who you are, but thank you for saving me. But I'm a paladin, and it's my destiny to sacrifice myself to protect Order. Even if I die, I will never run away … "
"No, no, no, Uncle!"
But before the paladin could finish, the twintailed girl shook her head forcefully and interrupted him.
"It's not good to die so easily. Besides, you don't have to fight so hard. There's still us! Besides, our companions will be here soon. "
"Companions?"
"That's right!"
Upon hearing the paladin's doubt, the twintailed girl giggled and pointed to the side of the paladin.
"Look!"
