The temple is indeed beginning to become unstoppable.

An ice wolf leaped madly through the air and pounced on the paladin in front of him. Facing the flying wolf, the paladin swung his sword and directly cut it in two from the head. The smelly blood spilled on it, staining the originally pure white armor with a bright red.

However, the Paladin did not care about such trivial details at the moment. He kicked the corpse next to him away, and the long sword in his hand burned with the holy flame again.

"This is not a place for monsters like you, get out of here!"

With a roar, the Paladin swung his sword violently, and instantly the white holy fire exploded, tearing the monsters close to him into pieces. But the next moment, the Paladin was seen panting and taking a few steps back, leaning against the wall next to him with his sword.

“Squeak——!!”

At this moment, a pitch-black bird screamed and swooped down from the sky, stretching out its sharp claws and pouncing at the Paladin. But at the same time, a magic missile whizzed through the sky and hit the bird hard. The Paladin took the opportunity to take a deep breath, grasped the sword again, and slashed forward, killing the monster in front of him.

"call……"

Only then did the paladin take a breath and nodded to the mage next to him.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. This is really troublesome..."

Next to the Paladin, a wizard was wiping the sweat off his forehead, looking at the battlefield with a worried look on his face. Below the city wall, thousands of monsters were frantically attacking the fortress. Monsters such as the Frost Wolves and Iron Boars, whose fur was contaminated by magic, were frantically hitting the heavy city wall, and even leaping towards the city wall by stepping on the corpses of their companions, just like moths flying into a flame, one after another, and moving forward bravely.

"These damned monsters, winter is over, what the hell are they doing?"

Looking at the beast tide in front of him, the Paladin couldn't help but spit. Hearing his complaints, the mage beside him smiled bitterly. The Northland Fortress has been through a lot of troubles recently. Not only was the entire fortress almost overturned by the monsters during the winter beast tide, but when winter turned to spring, they hadn't had time to repair the fortress walls that were destroyed by the beast tide, and then these bastards came again! !

And their attack is even more fierce than in winter!!

At this moment, suddenly, the signal crystal next to the city wall suddenly flashed, and then a heavy voice sounded.

"All mages, get ready. In five seconds, cast 'Turn Fossil into Mud' on the ground ahead. Paladins, get ready to provide cover! In ten seconds, the Order Crystal will be activated!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this order, both the Paladin and the Mage were surprised. They looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.

"what to do?"

"Anyway, this is an order. Follow it first. Cover me!"

As he spoke, the mage raised his staff high in the air, and then he began to chant loudly. At this moment, the paladin also hurriedly picked up his shield and stood in front of the mage. After a few seconds, the mage, who had finished chanting, raised his staff and pointed it forward.

“Fossils to mud!”

As the mages shouted, the hard ground in front of the fortress suddenly turned into a bottomless swamp, like a ferocious beast that began to devour the monsters that fell into its mouth. The monster bodies on the ground and the monsters themselves quickly sank into the mud and sand, creating a large restricted area in front of the fortress wall and the monster tide in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the triangular crystal on the fortress wall suddenly emitted a soft and bright beam of light, which rushed straight into the sky. Soon, the heavy clouds spun and dispersed, and the golden sunlight fell from the sky like a barrier, firmly protecting the entire fortress.

The monsters that were exposed to the sunlight began to scream in pain. Their bodies burned like candles in the sunlight. The crows that were originally hovering over the fortress also retreated screaming. For a moment, the offensive of the monster tide seemed to be completely contained...

"Everyone, return to the fortress and rest immediately!"

Following the order, the Paladins and Mages who had been fighting on the wall for half a day also withdrew with their exhausted bodies and returned to the fortress to rest. However, these people were all worried, and the reason was simple. Although they relied on the "Light of Order" to block the attack of the monsters, the problem was that the "Light of Order" was not unlimited. It could only last for a few hours, and once the time was up, they would still have to continue fighting these monsters.

But given the current strength in the fortress...it's hard to say whether it can last that long.

"Captain! Hasn't the support from the rear arrived yet?"

Listening to the questions from his subordinates, Knight Commander Wells shook his head.

"All the forces that the Temple and the White Tower can provide in the short term have been sent here. Although other places are currently being mobilized, it will take some time. However, I have received news from Bishop Karl of the Temple that the Temple has found a very reliable reinforcement, and their vanguard will arrive soon! What we have to do now is to rest and wait."

"Strong reinforcements?"

Hearing what Knight Commander Wells said, the Paladins under his command looked at each other in bewilderment. These Paladins were originally the backbone of the Northern Fortress. They had been fighting those damned monsters here for some time. They knew very little about what was happening in other places, so they had no idea what the strong reinforcements the Temple was talking about were.

In fact, even Knight Commander Wells himself was somewhat skeptical about the orders of the Temple. He was very clear about the situation inside the Temple. To be honest, the monster disaster that broke out last winter had a huge impact on the Northland Fortress. After that, the Northland Fortress has never recovered. Although he also hoped that the Temple could send more people to guard the Northland Fortress, but... under the current situation of the Temple, they don't have much manpower to mobilize.

But the Temple was confident and full of confidence, which made Knight Commander Wells curious... He was very clear about the current situation of the Temple. As for reinforcements, the White Tower of Heaven had already sent out their magician group, but these magicians could only assist them in defense and had no way to completely drive away these monsters. And from what the Temple said, the reinforcements coming this time seemed to be able to completely solve their problems?

"In short, you guys go down and rest first. You'll need to replenish your energy during this period of time, and the mages will also need to meditate to restore their spells. If that doesn't work..."

Having said this, Knight Commander Wells hesitated.

"Order all soldiers to abandon the frontline fortress and retreat to the northern headquarters!"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked to hear what Knight Commander Wales said.

Although the Northland Fortress is nominally a fortress, it is not just a simple fortress. It has two passes, guarding the front and back of the mountain road respectively. The fortress wall in the front is the first line of defense, and the back is the headquarters of the Northland Fortress.

In the previous winter beast tide attack, the first line of defense was broken by the Beast Lord. If Wells and his two other colleagues had not fought for their lives, I am afraid that even the Northland Fortress behind them might not have been able to be saved.

But even at that time, everyone did not give up the fight and evacuate directly, because this meant that once the Northern Fortress itself was breached, the tide of monsters would break out, and by that time, the entire heart of the continent would fall into the clutches of chaos.

But now...

Although it was a little difficult to accept Knight Commander Wells' order, everyone had no choice but to accept it. They were also very clear about the current situation. The first line of defense had been severely damaged in the previous monster wave and had almost lost its defensive function. If they continued to hold on here, they would only lose more people in vain. Instead of doing this, it would be better to give up this place and gather all the elite forces to the main line of defense to hold on for a while... just for a while...

"Report!!"

At this moment, suddenly, a messenger pushed the door and walked in.

"We detected an unidentified object approaching from behind!"

"oh?"

Hearing this, Wells was stunned.

What happened again?
