Hearing Calaxus' exclamation, Hao Ren and Lily were stunned. Lily could not hold back her words and whispered, "What did you say? Fidelinopolis? "
"In the name of the goddess, I will never mistake it for someone else." Calaxus lowered his voice, his face pale and shocked. It took him half a minute to regain his ability to speak. "I was sent to the monastery in Fidelinopolis when I was young. I have lived in this city for decades, and I am very familiar with its walls and towers. That is the Holy Cathedral, that is the Glorious Street, and over there is the monastery where I first studied."
"It looks like something terrible has happened." Hao Ren frowned. "Almost one-third of the city is destroyed, and the innermost central area is in the worst condition. Look over there, the buildings have signs of violent tremors and high temperatures. "
In fact, even without Hao Ren's reminder, everyone could see that. But compared to the destruction of Fidelinopolis, what was even more shocking was: why was this city here? Why did this city, which should have been in the real world, appear in the old world in the nightmare?!
Everyone could not help but think of the situation around Mount Asurmen in the real world, the scorching craters and fissures that surrounded the sacred mountain and the ruins of Fidelinopolis. Hao Ren could not help but remember a detail: there were no building wreckage around the craters. Although everyone guessed that a meteor explosion had destroyed the entire city, no matter how strong a meteor explosion was, it should not have wiped out all the buildings, right? At least, there should have been some debris left! But there was nothing in the ruins except for the craters!
So … Fidelinopolis was not destroyed by the meteor explosion, but was transported to the Scorched Plains of the Forgotten Abyss?
This idea popped up in many people's minds.
"Does Fidelinopolis have something similar?" Hao Ren whispered to Calaxus behind him. "For example, in case of an emergency, teleporting the entire city into a different dimension."
"Fidelinopolis is indeed a magic circle, but it does not have the ability to teleport," Calaxus whispered. "As far as I know, no magic or magic can achieve such a miracle."
"Could it be that there is a mirror image of Fidelinopolis here in the Forgotten Abyss?" Lily said without thinking. "Isn't the real world based on this old world? So maybe the two worlds have always been mirrored. There is a Fidelinopolis outside, and this one appeared out of nowhere. Then the one outside blew up, so the one inside almost blew up as well. "
Hao Ren had to admit that the husky, whose brain was always running wild, sometimes had some fallacies in her words.
But even if there was some truth to it, her conjecture was too bizarre for anyone to believe. Just as Hao Ren was wondering if he should summon a probe to venture into Fidelinopolis, Nangong Wuyue poked Hao Ren's arm with the tip of her cold tail. "Mr. Landlord, I think we should pay attention to the campsite below … You see, the campsite is right next to Fidelinopolis, and the creatures there don't look like the monsters of Chaos you've described, right?"
Lily poked her head out to take a look. "They look just as ugly …"
Hao Ren frowned. What Nangong Wuyue said was what he was concerned about as well. The dark, eerie camp was only a few feet away from the half-destroyed Fidelinopolis, and the soldiers in the camp were even more noteworthy. They were not humans, but all sorts of twisted and horrifying Festered creatures. They looked like all sorts of strangely shaped bloated flesh and bones, and some were just tentacles crawling all over the place. These chaotic creatures swayed in the camp like the stupid monsters in nightmares. But among these monsters that reminded one of the Chaos monsters, there were a few armored and armed individuals. While they had also rotted and mutated, there was no doubt that they were equipped with equipment. The equipment seemed to have been modified by them. They were dirty, shabby, and crudely pieced together. They were basically just pieces of twisted metal hanging on their bodies.
This was enough to distinguish the 'monsters' in the camp from the ordinary Chaos monsters. They looked more like the half-corrupted 'Festered', but the ordinary Festered would not have such a high level of discipline.
Hao Ren's mind flashed with the monsters he saw in the illusion. Some of them … seemed to be the ones in front of him.
Just as he was imagining it, a nearby probe suddenly sent a warning signal. The MDT's voice rang through the mental link. "Attention! Attention! There is an abnormal energy gathering six kilometers away. A large number of physical units are being generated!"
Hao Ren immediately looked up. From here, he could already see what was happening. In the distant sky above the wilderness, a turbid dark cloud was circling. Many huge tentacle-like structures hung down from the cloud vortex to the ground. Between the tentacles, a storm was forming, and smoke was gathering. Countless shadowy things were coming out of the smoke like mud.
In this Nightmare World where there was no order and Lockmarton ruled over everything, many early warning methods were meaningless. The forces of Chaos could appear out of thin air in any corner of a corrupted area without any warning!
"Attention! That is Lockmarton's power venting," Geddon, the Lord of the Mountains, warned. "Look at the direction it is spinning … Lockmarton's body should be only a few hundred kilometers away … Hmm? Those minions seem to be coming this way! "
The monsters that emerged from the whirlpool had gathered into a black tide, rushing towards Fidelinopolis and the camp. Almost at the same time, Hao Ren saw that the camp at the bottom of the slope was also reacting.
The deformed 'soldiers' seemed to be able to sense the Chaos monsters in the distance. As soon as the energy focal point was formed, they were already stirred. In just a few minutes, they had changed their state of wandering aimlessly and quickly regrouped and assembled into an imposing battle formation, charging out of the camp and towards the plains!
"These two groups are about to fight …" Lily suddenly became nervous. Then, she suddenly realized something and pointed at Fidelinopolis. "Mr. Landlord, look! There are people coming out from there! "
Sure enough, as the "monsters" in the camp rushed to the plains, there was a sudden movement in the half-destroyed Fidelinopolis. The bell towers, which were still mostly intact, rang melodiously. Then, rays of light came from the churches and the sculptures on the walls. With the bells ringing and fire, an army rushed out of the half-collapsed gate of Fidelinopolis!
They were fully equipped, and their bright mithril armors glittered under the twilight. Golden battle flags depicting the profile of the goddess fluttered in the air. They rode armored Sanctum warhorses, with sharp enchanted longswords on their waists, holding holy emblems and burning amulets in their hands. In the sky above this mighty legion, there were many battle priests and warlord priests in robes and holding long staffs in their hands. These armed priests who were flying in the air constantly cast all kinds of protective magic on the knights below, making them stronger, more agile, and more and more unstoppable as they sped up!
This was a classic Sanctum army. They were well-equipped, powerful, and had high morale!
Not long after this army charged out of Fidelinopolis, they caught up with the twisted "monster army" that surged out of the broken camp and advanced parallel to them.
Hao Ren saw many priests flying up and casting protective spells on the monster army. Some of them seemed to be shouting at the monster army, as if trying to communicate something. But it was a one-sided effort. The broken monster army did not respond at all. They only lowered their heads and gradually approached the monsters of Chaos on the plains.
Finally, the two sides collided violently. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and smoke and dust filled the air.
It was a battle between monsters and 'monsters'. The first two armies that collided with each other were simply indistinguishable. They were similarly distorted, decayed, and had the same nightmarish image. When they collided, it was as though two streams of mud were violently colliding. Flesh and blood were torn apart, and dark energy was spewing out in between. That primitive battle could almost make the limbs of a veteran soldier shiver.
Then, the Sanctum army from Fidelinopolis joined in the melee.

"Shall we just watch from the side?" Y 'zaks pressed Y' lisabet's head and turned to look at Hao Ren.
"No." Hao Ren took out his rifle from his dimensional pocket. "This is a good time for us to intervene."
