It was no wonder that Fang Zheng was so surprised, because just when he was about to subdue the other party, Fang Zheng also saw the man's face clearly - he was the knight with a very dangerous name who had fought with him before, but Fang Zheng did not expect that he would meet him again here.

"Who are you?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Knight Conan was also stunned, and his struggling hands dropped. He originally thought that the other party was a cultist, but he didn't expect that this person would call out his name right away, and his appearance... looked quite familiar?

Thinking of this, Knight Conan frowned and looked at Fang Zheng, searching hard for his name in his memory. But soon, Fang Zheng revealed the answer.

"I'm Fang Zheng."

"Are you Mr. Fang Zheng?"

After hearing this answer, Conan suddenly realized what was going on. He widened his eyes and looked Fang Zheng up and down, finally finding familiar traces on this young man.

"You are still alive, Mr. Fang Zheng. Where have you been for the past six months? Why haven't you had any news at all? And you have changed so much..."

Fang Zheng understood Conan's doubts. His original body was about 18 or 19 years old. When reshaping his body, Fang Zheng chose his appearance when he was 20 years old, so the difference would not be too big. Fortunately, he was away for more than half a year, otherwise, if it was just a few days or months, it would be difficult to justify such a change.

"It's a long story. In fact, I've only been back here for a few days... I didn't realize I've been away for so long."

Fang Zheng answered while putting away his sword. He didn't have to worry about his answer making Knight Conan suspicious. This was a world with a highly developed magic civilization. Many wizards had some spells that could connect to different dimensions, and there were also many stories of people who had mistakenly entered certain worlds. In fact, Fang Zheng had come back this time with preparations... Well, he had another bold idea.

"I see... I see. If Great Knight Stone and Great Knight Malte knew about this, they would definitely be very happy."

"Okay, let's talk about the past later."

Since the other party was someone he knew, Fang Zheng didn't need to be so alert. He looked around and then asked curiously.

"What on earth happened here? It looks like you were attacked?"

"Yes, that's right! Those damned cultists..."

When this incident was mentioned, Knight Conan was extremely angry and told Fang Zheng the whole story. Fang Zheng finally knew what happened to him in the main world after he crossed over.

After he defeated the Child of Chaos, the underground cave collapsed (so Fang Zheng finally understood why he was teleported to this hellhole). Fortunately, Knight Stone and Knight Malte managed to escape with the remaining Knights Templar. The Lich Lord also disappeared, and the space barrier that was originally used to block the space was also lifted, so everyone returned to the temple after that.

As a member of the team, Knight Conan was dismissed from the team after returning to the temple. This was not because the bishops were dissatisfied with them, but because the search team was originally a temporary mission. Now that the mission has ended, everyone will naturally disband and go back to their own homes.

By the way, according to Knight Conan, the Council of Bishops seems to have determined that the Templars who were killed in the previous pursuit of the cultists were killed by the Lich Lord. In addition, this time the other party killed more than a dozen Templars in order to complete the ritual of lifting the seal of the Son of Chaos. It can be said that the Lich Lord is bound to take the blame.

After completing the mission, Knight Conan returned to the Northern Alliance, where he was born and where he was inaugurated as a Knight Templar. He was supposed to go to the Fortress of Order to participate in the battle, but because he was seriously injured in the previous battle with the Lich Lord, the Son of Chaos later gave him a wave of magic-banning DeBuffs, causing his body to become quite weak. So in the end, Knight Conan was appointed to stay here to monitor the supply lines and to recuperate. After all, everyone knows that the rear is not as dangerous as the front. And with Knight Conan's ability, it is naturally not bad. Otherwise, he would not have been selected to join the team to go to Shadow Canyon.

At the beginning, it was quite leisurely, but as the days passed, Knight Conan began to get nervous. He was also a member of the Order Fortress, so he naturally knew about the disaster of monsters. Although he could only stay in the rear, he ordered everyone to be vigilant and be prepared to resist the disaster of monsters. At the same time, he also specially dispatched two cavalry teams to patrol the rear and front lines.

And just three days ago, something strange happened.

It was just when the first snow fell, and Knight Conan found that he had not received any contact notification from the Order Fortress, which made him a little confused. Because according to the regulations, when the first snow fell, the Order Fortress would first contact the rear base to ensure that everyone was prepared to deal with the disaster of monsters. This process has not changed since Knight Conan joined the Temple, but the first snow fell until late at night, and he did not receive any notification, which made Knight Conan nervous. He immediately sent a cavalry team to the Order Fortress to check the situation, and tried to contact the front again using the Temple's contact crystal.

But still no response.

Now Knight Conan felt that something was wrong, and he immediately reported to the Temple Headquarters in the rear, but then Knight Conan found that he could not get in touch with the headquarters either.

Knight Conan was also horrified at this moment. He had never encountered such a situation before. But he was an elite knight after all, and he had fought against the Lich Lord in Shadow Canyon, so his reaction was naturally not bad. He quickly ordered the entire stronghold to be sealed off and put into martial law, and activated the first-level combat readiness mode.

Unfortunately, the enemy's actions were faster than Conan Knight expected. Before his order was issued, those damned cultists launched an attack. They attacked the entire stronghold. At first, the temple soldiers fought with these cultists, but the enemy was too powerful. Among them, there was even a destruction wizard who could manipulate hellfire!

The Destruction Mage is the backbone of the Day of Destruction sect, and the corresponding Great Knight is almost as powerful. If Stone or Malte were here, they might be able to stop the opponent. But Conan is just a Templar Knight, who has just recovered from a serious illness, so he is no match for him. As a result, before he could make a move, the opponent directly blew down the tower where he was with a hellfire explosion, and Knight Conan was buried inside.

Fortunately, the unlucky child was not crushed to death. However, when he woke up, the entire stronghold was deserted. Knight Conan himself had finally escaped from the rubble. Just when he had bandaged his wound and was about to look for the traces of the cultists, Fang Zheng also appeared here. At that time, Knight Conan did not know it was Fang Zheng. He thought that the cultists had returned, so he ambushed by the wall and wanted to capture someone as a hostage. Unexpectedly, he ran into Fang Zheng.

“So that’s how it is…”

After listening to Knight Conan's story, Fang Zheng didn't know what to say. He just sighed and patted the other person's shoulder.

"Okay, relax a little, at least you're still alive now, that's a good thing, isn't it?"

After all, your name... I won’t say anything.

"Why……"

However, Knight Conan's expression was not very good.

"I'm only worried about what happened in the fortress. You know, facing the disaster of monsters, they have no way to escape. Without supplies from the rear, the fortress can't hold out for a month! And now, our communication with the rear is completely cut off... Those cultists have captured my subordinates again. I'm really worried about what they will do..."

"We have lost contact with the base. Will there be any reaction from the rear?"

In response to Fang Zheng's question, Knight Conan shook his head with an unpleasant expression.

"Although the Northern Alliance should nominally send people to check it out, in fact, it is our Temple that has taken over, and..."

Having said that, Knight Conan didn't say anything more, but just sighed deeply.

Fang Zheng certainly understood what the other party meant. On this continent, the relationship between countries is very delicate. Even more delicate than on Earth. Although this continent is headed by several powerful countries such as the Holy Religious Country, and other countries cannot be compared with them, these big countries cannot oppress small countries as they please like on Earth.

He originally thought that the big countries in this world could do whatever they wanted, but after reading the records of the temple, Fang Zheng discovered that this world was not exactly what he thought.

The reason is simple, because this is a magical world!

A weak country was bullied by a big country and then destroyed. Their prince left his homeland, then had many adventures, and finally became a powerful legendary warrior who came back to fight back for revenge. This kind of plot is not a novel on this continent, but has really happened, and even more than once!

There had also been cases where a weak country was oppressed and unable to resist. Eventually, they became completely desperate and sacrificed the entire nation's citizens to open a portal to hell, causing the entire continent to fall into a period of darkness and war that lasted for a full 150 years. This kind of thing is not a novel, but is truly written in history books!

This is a magical world where everything is possible!

Although these people eventually died for various reasons, and that crazy country was completely destroyed, but these are bloody lessons! How do you know if there will be another Long Aotian in those weak countries?

Let alone destroying your entire country, killing a few of your royal family members, or specifically targeting the capital with a five-fireball chain bombing, will your country still have the face it has had for thousands of years? Even on Earth, where there is no magic, people can crash passenger planes into buildings, and human bombs are still good at it. In this world, that's not a human bomb, that's a human nuclear bomb!

Maybe it will cause harm for hundreds of years.

This is also the reason why those small countries have not been completely annexed by the big countries. There have been ambitious monarchs who wanted to destroy these small countries in the past, but they all failed for similar reasons. After hundreds of years of continuous wars on the continent, these big countries have reached a consensus - why do we have to force others into a desperate situation? The barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. Our land area is so large, the resources are so rich, and the society is so harmonious and stable. Why do we have to force others to die, then sacrifice a wave of hell teleportation, and then drag us in? Isn't this a mental illness?

Finally, after the death sacrifice, all the countries on this continent gathered in Kalon and signed the world-famous "Violet Covenant", stipulating that no country should easily declare war on another country unless it encountered an emergency. It also limited the covenants between countries.

So the current situation on this continent is basically that the countries are forming alliances with each other and are united through economic or military means.

The relationship between the Northern Alliance and the Holy Kingdom is the same. The Northern Alliance was originally a union of some small tribes in the north, and then sent representatives to form an alliance with the Holy Kingdom. The Holy Kingdom assisted them in guarding the border, maintaining order, and eliminating chaos. In return, the Northern Alliance needs to be responsible for the logistics supply of the Order Fortress.

The two sides have been cooperating well, but Knight Conan also knows that things are not that simple, and there are many troubles within the Northern Alliance...

But now was certainly not the time to talk about this, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, what do you think?"

"I?"

Hearing Knight Conan's question, Fang Zheng thought for a moment.

"In short, let's play it by ear."
