"To be honest, we don't have any clear clues about the movements of the demonic beasts this time."
Back in the command room, Wales began to explain to Fangzheng the strangeness of the demonic beasts in detail.
Generally speaking, the demonic beasts would start to move during the winter, but when the earth thawed in spring, they would retreat. After all, these demonic beasts had no relationship with each other, and some of them were even food for each other. They might unite to attack the fortress in the winter, but that was for the sake of 'survival'. When winter was over, the hard conditions that forced these demonic beasts to move would no longer exist, so these demonic beasts would return to the land of Chaos and continue their lives.
Then, they would wait until the next winter to 'migrate' again.
But this year's situation was a little different.
"Because of the demonic beasts' movements during the winter, we thought they would be more well-behaved this time when spring comes. After all, these demonic beasts also suffered heavy losses in the battle last winter. Logically speaking, they should be more well-behaved in spring, but … "
At this point, Commander Wales also revealed a look of disbelief.
"But these demonic beasts seem to have gone crazy. They have no intention of leaving at all. They don't look like they will stop until they destroy this place."
The actions of these demonic beasts certainly shocked the defenders of the Northern Fortress, but they had no way to figure out what was going on. At first, they simply thought that the demonic beasts were only staying for a short while. After all, these Chaos creatures had no concept of time. It was normal for them to stay a day earlier or a day later.
But when spring turned to summer, even the most optimistic of paladins knew that something was wrong. The Chaos creatures had never besieged the Northern Fortress for so long!
But now, the Kingdom of Saint did not have any extra troops to reinforce them, and the Northern Fortress itself was in a difficult position. If it weren't for Fangzheng leading the Tendo Temple to reinforce them in time, the situation would have been even worse.
Repelling the demonic beasts' attack on the Northern Fortress was only the first step. Bishop Karl hoped that Fangzheng could join forces with the defenders of the Northern Fortress to go deep into the land of Chaos and thoroughly investigate the cause of the demonic beasts' rampage. If possible, they would completely eliminate everything. Because of this, he asked Fangzheng to bring the fleet to reinforce them.
"About the demonic beast rampage ….. Commander Wales, do you have any clues?"
"Speaking of clues, it's not like there aren't any at all."
Facing Fangzheng's question, Head Commander Wales pondered for a moment before pulling out a document from the side.
"Every spring, we will send a few teams of scouts deep into the Land of Chaos to ascertain the situation of the magical beasts. It was the same this year, but most of them didn't make it back. However, there's still a scout team that brought back some important news …. "
As he spoke, Commander Wales handed over the document. Fangzheng took the document and opened it to read the information.
"There's … light underground? The earth quaked? The wrath of God is about to descend? What is this? "
However, no matter how Fangzheng looked at it, he only felt that it was the ravings of a bunch of lunatics. There was no clue at all between the lines.
"This is the content of the scripture in the Holy Temple."
Commander Wales reached out his hand and took out a thick scripture from the side.
"All holy knights will memorize this scripture. As for the information they passed on, I think perhaps it was because they had been corrupted by Chaos back then and couldn't maintain their sense of self …. After all, you should know, Sir Fangzheng, that the deeper we, the people of Order, go into the Land of Chaos, the easier it is for us to be corrupted by Chaos and we will gradually lose control of ourselves …. Perhaps, apart from this method, they had no other way to pass on information."
"… … …"
Looking at the thick scripture before him, Fangzheng pondered for a moment.
It was great that he didn't reveal his identity as a Saint Knight.
"So, the content is …."
"It's the 'New Life' section of the scripture …."
Having said that, Commander Wales flipped open the scripture and pointed to a passage that was underlined. Fangzheng reached out his hand and took the scripture.
"… … The shadow of Chaos descends once again. The will of the Goddess resounds across the land. Where the sun shines, all evils have nowhere to hide. 'This is not our final battle.' The voice of the Goddess echoed in everyone's heart. It was a gentle but powerful statement. 'The war between Order and Chaos has always been ongoing. But now, we shall finally emerge victorious.'
The earth began to crack and the sky rumbled. Along with the Goddess' words, a holy light descended from the sky. The wrath of God engulfed everything …. Hmm? "
Upon seeing this, Fangzheng was taken aback. He lifted his head and looked at Commander Wales.
"Sir Wales, the records in here …."
"This was recorded by our ancestors. When the Goddess appeared, she destroyed Chaos and granted new life to this land."
"… … …"
Upon hearing Wales' answer, Fangzheng picked up the scripture.
"Apologies, Sir Wales. Do you mind if I take a look at this scripture?"
"Of course not."
After Fangzheng left the command center, he found a random place to sit down. He quickly let go of the scripture in his hand and began to read the contents word by word.
Strictly speaking, Fangzheng had read this scripture before. It was after he transmigrated to this world. In order to have a "clean" identity, Fangzheng joined the Holy Cathedral and became a knight. At that time, Fangzheng had read this scripture before. But at that time, in order to have a "clean" identity, Fangzheng joined the Holy Cathedral and became a knight. In his opinion, religious scriptures were all the same no matter which world he came from. But now, when Fangzheng read this scripture carefully again, he realized that the content of the scripture … .seemed … .to have a deeper meaning.
Unlike most religions who liked to depict their god as the creator of heaven and earth, in Fangzheng's opinion, the Goddess described in the scripture of the Holy Cathedral was clearly an outsider.
The entire scripture was divided into three parts. The first part recorded the original appearance of this land. According to the scripture, this land was once full of danger. There was chaos everywhere. Humans could only hide in corners and caves like rats, shivering and living day by day.
Although the scripture's description of this period of time was full of artistic embellishments, Fangzheng could still find some clues. If everything in the scripture was true, then this world could be said to be quite dangerous and chaotic at the beginning. Not only did it not have four seasons, the temperature was also fluctuating. Perhaps it was "warm and comfortable" yesterday, but today it was "bone-chilling". The temperature fluctuated, and from time to time, all kinds of diseases would break out. The infected humans would either become monsters or die from the disease.
At that time, the humans of this world had no future. It was as if they could only wait for death in despair.
But one day, "the Goddess came from the sky in a golden ark. Her warm light tore through the darkness, dispelled the fog, and brought us protection like a mother protecting her children." After that, the Goddess "created the four seasons, distinguished day and night, and brought knowledge and the fire of civilization."
Under the guidance of the Goddess of Order, the people picked up their weapons and used the knowledge and power they obtained from the Mother of Order to bravely resist against the evil enemies of Chaos. In the end, the Goddess of Order took action and annihilated the source of evil. From then on, peace was ushered in on the earth. "
This was also the second part of the scripture. As for the third part, it talked about the Goddess returning to the sky to watch over her people. All the people must always remember that their current beautiful and happy life was a gift from the Goddess, and so on …. This part was no different from the religious scripture in Fangzheng's memory.
But …
"This content is really interesting …."
While looking at the fragment of the Goddess descending from the sky on her golden mount recorded in the scripture, Fangzheng raised his head and looked at the Hell's Angel-class battleship not far above his head ….
Hmm … .if those artistic descriptions were removed ….
