When everyone rushed to the city wall again, the first thing they saw was smoke and flames in the distance.

“Damn it!”

Wells frowned and looked gloomy when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that a Warcraft Lord would appear so soon. In this case, it seemed that his strategy had to be adjusted again.

"Immediately order all soldiers on the first line of defense to evacuate! All return to the headquarters to defend!"

"Is this really okay?"

However, after hearing Wells' order, Fang Zheng raised another question.

"If we abandon the first line of defense, it will be difficult to resist all the monsters here. Moreover, the enemy has also sent out lord-level monsters. If something unexpected happens, the entire Northland will probably be in trouble."

Through Wells' introduction just now, Fang Zheng already understood that the design of the Northland Fortress is actually a "double filtering" mechanism. In other words, the first line of defense is the "filter" at the front, which can block most of the monster attacks. However, a small number of monsters will pass through the first line of defense, but then they will be wiped out by the second line of defense.

In simple terms, the main responsibility of the first line of defense is to resist those low-level monsters that are numerous but weak in strength, while the second line of defense is to resist those high-level monsters that are relatively few in number but strong in strength.

But if the first line of defense is completely abandoned, then there will definitely be more fish that slip through the "loopholes" of the Northland Fortress and enter the Land of Order. Fang Zheng still remembers the group of magic wolves he encountered after returning from the world of "Edge of Tomorrow". If he hadn't taken action at that time, this group of magic wolves would have almost destroyed a small town.

"We don't have enough staff at the moment, and there's nothing we can do about it."

Wells knew this truth, but he really had no other choice. When there was a shortage of manpower, it was impossible to stop it with just wisdom and strength. If they just wanted to kill the monsters in front of them, then Wells' strength as the knight commander would be enough. But the problem was that their enemies were more than just this group in front of them. In fact, it was still unknown how many monsters there were.

In this situation, all Wells could do was to preserve his strength as much as possible and delay time to wait for the reinforcements from the Temple. If even he was forced to take action, it would mean that the entire Northland Fortress was really in great crisis.

"In that case, leave it to me."

Fang Zheng understood what Wells said, but after looking at the terrain here, he still felt that giving up the first line of defense was an unwise choice. From a bird's eye view, the terrain of the entire Northland Fortress was a gourd shape with a tight outside and a loose inside. The first line of defense was the smallest gourd mouth. It was precisely because of the narrow area of ​​this place and the inaccessible cliffs on both sides that it could block the attacks of the monsters. Once this line of defense was completely lost, it would be even more difficult to defend if the monsters poured in.

"you?"

Wells was a little surprised to hear Fang Zheng's words. If Fang Zheng was one of his soldiers, Wells would definitely rebuke this young man for having wild ideas. But recalling the information in the temple documents, he hesitated slightly.

Since the Temple said this young man is a reinforcement, then let me see what he can do...

"Okay! I'll give you ten minutes! If you can't hold the first line of defense after ten minutes, I will immediately give the order for everyone to evacuate!"

"Leave it to me."

Facing Wells' serious gaze, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, then he jumped down from the dozens of meters high city wall and looked forward. There, the bright red flames had illuminated the originally dim sky and earth. Even under the protection of the Light of Order, the situation ahead did not seem to be very good.

"Tina, bring Tanji with you. Everyone get ready. Let's go immediately. Follow me!"

"Yes, Brother Fang Zheng!"

After hearing Fang Zheng's order, the little girls who were half dead just now suddenly cheered up. Tina jumped out of the car and opened the trunk of the landing vehicle. Soon, a golden Protoss machine shining with azure light flew out of it - seeing how shaky it was, it didn't seem to be in any better condition.

This Protoss technology is just lame!

Looking at the staggering Tan Ji, Fang Zheng shook his head, then he quickly made a gesture and ran forward. He only had one planetary landing vehicle, and he didn't want to lose it here. Instead of driving it to the front line, it would be better to leave it here. Anyway, the first line of defense is only about one kilometer away from the Northland Fortress itself. For Fang Zheng, Tina and others, it doesn't take too long to get there.

But even so, the situation ahead is not optimistic.

When Fang Zheng and his companions arrived at the first line of defense, the place had already fallen into chaos again. Although the light wall of order was still protecting this tall wall, the light on it had weakened a lot. The reason was...

“——!!”

In Fang Zheng's eyes, a black beam of light whizzed past from a distance, hitting the light wall like a battering ram. As the beam of light hit, the already very thin light wall of order began to flicker slightly like a light with poor contact.

The culprit behind the attack on the light wall is...

"What is that? Is that a stage 5 protogastric animal? Does this world also have protogastric animals?"

It is hard for Tina and Xia Shi to have such doubts, because the more powerful the magical beast infected by chaotic magic, the weirder its body shape - well, to some extent, it really seems to be no different from protostomes.

The source of the light was a huge beast as big as a hill, and it looked similar to an ogre, with a huge golden eye in the center of its forehead. On both sides of its sturdy body, it had thick and sharp claws like those of a tiger or a lion.

However, due to the erosion of chaos magic, its skin has taken on a disgusting dark green color, and one can even see the tentacles and whiskers constantly entwined and spinning on it.

"…This thing is really disgusting…"

Even Fang Zheng couldn't look at the monster in front of him. Although it was indeed a lord-level monster, it looked like this... No, it looked like a lord-level monster. If it was made into a game boss, it would probably not even pass the review and be sent back for a reset.

But there is no time to care about this now, because at this moment, the huge lord monster roared again, and then the single eye on its forehead suddenly widened, and soon, another beam of light shot out from the single eye and hit the order light wall.

But this time, the barrier of light finally failed to completely block the attack of the monster lord. The dark beam mercilessly blasted a big hole in the barrier, and then directly hit the city wall. With the sound of the explosion, the originally shaky city wall collapsed instantly, and at the same time, the monsters that had been ready to move for a long time also rushed towards the gap as if the surging flood had finally found an outlet.

"We can't let these things in!"

Seeing this, Fang Zheng immediately stretched out his hand, and soon, the vampire sword appeared in his hand again.

"Xia Shi, Tina, Cui, Yanzhu, I leave this to you, go and hold off those monsters! I'll deal with the Boss!"
