Although they had received the information, Fangzheng and Wales did not change their target. They continued to advance forward step by step, and at the same time, used the crystal towers to expand the territory of Order. On the one hand, attacking without permission without knowing what was ahead would only bring danger. On the other hand, since they already knew the reason for the Chaos Beasts' rampage, the remaining problems were naturally much easier to solve.
Judging from the current situation, if the records in the Holy Knight's diary were correct, a Goddess's Guardian had suddenly activated for some unknown reason and began to slaughter the Chaos Beasts here. This was not surprising. According to Fangzheng's guess, the so-called Goddess's Guardian was likely to be an autonomous robot of some advanced civilization, and its internal command code was likely to contain the order to destroy Chaos. Therefore, after seeing the Chaos Beasts, the Goddess's Guardian would naturally not let them go.
And judging from the current situation, the Chaos Beasts were obviously no match for the Goddess's Guardian. They could only flee like rats after being slaughtered. Perhaps it was for this reason that they chose to attack the Northern Fortress. After all, judging from the current situation, the combat power of the Northern Fortress was obviously inferior to the Goddess's Guardian. The Chaos Beasts also understood the principle of picking on the weak.
The Chaos Beasts that Fangzheng and the others encountered before were probably heading in their direction to escape from the Goddess's Guardian's attack. Unfortunately, they encountered Fangzheng's fleet head-on. There was really no way out …. It could only be said that the Chaos Beasts were really unlucky ….
But unfortunately, although Fangzheng had sent a lot of drones to conduct reconnaissance, he couldn't find any traces of the "Goddess" that the Holy Knight had recorded. This made him somewhat doubtful. After all, according to Wales, the Holy Knight's mind and brain would be invaded by Chaos if he went deep into the land of Chaos without the crystal towers to expand the power of Order. If what he had recorded before was just a fantasy of his brain going out of control due to Chaos, then they would have been excited for nothing.
But if they wanted to search faster …. Nimf gave them a suggestion.
"That's her?"
Looking at the white warship floating in the air in front of him, Fangzheng could not help feeling a little surprised. The warship in front of him was different from the others. It did not look like a warship at all. Its white hull stretched out like a snake, and the most eye-catching thing about it was the white ring with red horizontal lines on its tail. Hmm … .this thing did not look like a warship at all, based on its body shape alone.
"Stercius?"
"She was created a few days ago. Although she's mediocre in terms of combat, she specializes in search and research. She's currently working as my assistant, so her strength is guaranteed. And she's very good at it. I think if she does it, we'll be able to find the target we need faster. "
And with Nimfu's introduction, Fangzheng saw a blue-haired girl dressed in a maid uniform appear out of thin air in front of him. She smiled as she looked at Fangzheng in front of her. Then, she extended her hand to place it on her chest and raised her head proudly.
"Nice to meet you, Commander. I'm the Sstercius-class Fog Cruiser Neptune. Do you find me unfamiliar? Don't worry, I'll make sure you won't be able to forget me …. Nice to meet you. "
"Nice to meet you."
Fangzheng nodded at Neptune. There were many children with strange personalities in his mental model, but Fangzheng was already used to it, so he didn't show any special attitude towards Neptune.
"So, can we start now?"
"Of course. Leave it to me."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Neptune proudly stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers. Several probes were launched from both sides of the white warship. The probes flew forward quickly and soon disappeared into the horizon. Neptune spread out her hands. Soon, a 3D holographic projection map appeared in front of Fangzheng.
On the map, several blue spheres were slowly moving forward. Neptune stretched out her fingers, controlling their direction and zooming in and out from time to time …. Soon, one of the spheres turned red. Neptune immediately reached out her hand and adjusted the size of the red sphere, turning it into a red dot. Then, with a wave of her hand, Fangzheng saw four scanning halos converging around the red dot. They surrounded the red dot from all four directions.
"Beep — —"
Soon, the red dot turned yellow, then green. Then, a map appeared in front of Fangzheng.
"This is?"
Looking at the map in front of him, Fangzheng was slightly taken aback, because it showed a huge underground space! Not only that, judging from the objects made of lines, this was not a natural space, but more like a man-made object! Not only that, judging from the scanning results, this space seemed to have collapsed for some reason, leaving a big hole in the ground.
"It looks like some kind of factory or maintenance facility …."
While talking to herself, Neptune moved her fingers again.
"I'll send a probe to search and see if we can find any clues.
Following Neptune's action, one of the probes quickly entered the depths of the ground through the hole, while the other probes continued with their respective tasks.
Unfortunately, Neptune was unable to find the mysterious giant that disappeared. But the good news was that she found a series of traces of the giant's movements and determined the size of the giant through these traces.
"It's about 80 meters tall and weighs about 2,000 tons. I can't determine what technology the giant used at the moment, but judging from the traces on the battlefield and the radiation level, it should be an unknown energy."
"In that case, let's explore the underground space first."
After receiving the information, Fangzheng quickly made a decision. Now that the giant of light had not appeared, they should figure out the situation here first. Anyway, according to their speed, they could reach their destination in a day, so Fangzheng did not care too much. Of course, he still had to discuss this matter with Wales.
"Ancient ruins?"
As expected, after Wales heard Fangzheng's words, the old man was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"Are you sure? Sir Fangzheng? "
"Of course I'm not sure. If I was sure, why would I need to explore?"
Fangzheng spread his hands helplessly and looked at the old man in front of him. It seemed like religious beliefs were really fanatical. Even a calm old man like Commander Wales couldn't control himself when he heard the news.
"Then, can I go with you?"
"This ….."
Faced with Wales' question, Fangzheng hesitated for a moment.
"I suggest that you don't put yourself in danger, Sir Wales. After all, no one knows what's going on down there. If anything happens, we can still escape, but you can't be sure …. Besides, you need to be in charge of commanding the troops above. I want to ask you, do you have any information or clues about this place that you can provide me? Before this place was devoured by Chaos, it should have been a land of civilization, right? Perhaps there are rumors or clues about the ruins? "
"Hmm …."
This time, Wales did not answer immediately. Instead, after a moment of silence, he looked at Fangzheng.
"Sir Fangzheng, I heard that ….. you participated in the Dark Swamp operation before?"
"That's right."
Fangzheng did not find it strange that Wales knew about this. Even if this knight didn't know who he was before, after being together for so many days, he must have understood each other.
"Then, how much do you know about the origin of Dark Swamp?"
"I remember …. It was an empire called Kadera that tried to annex a small country called Samor. The people of that small country would rather die than submit. In the end, they set up a Hell's Gate in their capital that connected to hell, bringing about war and death …."
Fangzheng remembered this matter quite clearly. After all, the battle in Dark Swamp that closed the Hell's Gate was the first main world mission he received after coming to this world. It was also from that time that Fangzheng began to suspect whether the system he made had some unexplainable connection with this world ….
"That's right."
Wales nodded in response to Fangzheng's answer.
"In fact, the land we're on now is the territory of the Kadera Empire …. At that time, the Kadera Empire was indeed a very developed country, but I think there are some things that Sir Fangzheng isn't aware of. In fact, according to historical records, the Kadera Empire was far more developed than we could have imagined. Although they couldn't reach the level of your Azure Fleet, in fact, many of our current technologies, including the technology of magic-guided warships and magic-powered engines, were obtained from the Kadera Empire. "
"Oh?"
When he heard this, Fangzheng couldn't help but be taken aback.
"There's such a thing?"
"That's right."
Wales lowered his voice as he spoke.
"And … .according to the intelligence at that time, the Kadera Empire once claimed that the reason why they had such great power was because they received the blessing of the goddess, and that it was the will of the goddess that they ruled this continent …."
"Oh …."
