"It seems that Bishop Karl was right. This fortress is really short-handed."

Looking at the battle situation in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but frown. He saw clearly that after the city wall was collapsed by the opponent's Warcraft Lord's beam cannon, people from other places wanted to rescue it immediately. This was also normal. After all, if the gap was not blocked, the Warcraft could rush in directly from here, and the other city walls would be useless.

But the problem is... there is a shortage of manpower.

According to Fang Zheng's observation, the current Northland Fortress garrison and those monsters are almost maintaining a fragile balance, so that the current number of Northland Fortress garrison can only barely defend the city wall, and once the manpower is reduced again, other places will also be breached. Therefore, they can't leave to provide support for the breach, and can only continue to stay on the city wall and fight those monsters.

Fortunately, Xia Shi and Cui reacted quickly and blocked the monsters that rushed into the gap, so that the entire defense line barely maintained its balance. Otherwise, it would only be a matter of time before the first line of defense collapsed completely. From this perspective, Knight Commander Wells's previous concerns were not exaggerated. Instead of waiting for the first line of defense to collapse completely, it would be better to keep as many people as possible in the base camp to fight the enemy to the death...

But according to Fang Zheng's experience, those who do this are usually villain bosses... and they all fail in the end.

But that alone is not enough...

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng raised his right hand, pulled out the vampire from the void, and looked at the dark land in front of him, as well as the countless chaotic monsters covering the entire ground.

Taking this opportunity, Fang Zheng also carefully observed the attack actions of these Chaos Monsters. He found that they acted almost entirely on instinct - just like when you circle a Zerg in a game and then use F2A, and then your life or death is up to fate. Where and how the Zerg attacks depends entirely on the AI's own ability and luck. These Chaos Monsters are a bit like this now. The evidence is that after the monster lord punched a hole in the city wall, any race with a little bit of brains would probably choose this place to attack immediately.

However, these Chaos Monsters seemed to have lost their minds and just stared at the enemy in front of them. If Xia Shi and Bushicui hadn't made such a big noise that attracted some Chaos Monsters, I'm afraid these guys wouldn't care about this "tactical action" at all. However, considering their almost endless numbers, it really didn't need it...

It's time to take action myself.

Fang Zheng looked at the giant sword in his hand, then the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and then he raised the giant sword. As Fang Zheng moved, the flow of time around him began to slow down, and then - stopped in an instant.

The second sword.

The dazzling lightning, like the birth of the world, enveloped the entire battlefield at this moment. For a moment, the originally dark earth was completely covered by lightning, turning into a sea of ​​light. Countless Chaos monsters were destroyed by the bombardment of thunder. The dazzling lightning was so dazzling that even the defenders on the city wall could not help but turn their heads and put their hands in front of their eyes.

"call……"

Putting down the long sword in his hand, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked around. Almost all the monsters on the other side of the horizon were completely destroyed in the surging waves of lightning. They remained in their carbonized state, standing upright on the ground like stone sculptures. But the next moment, with the breeze blowing, these monsters that were turned into charcoal shattered into pieces, and soon they completely turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.

"Sure enough, fighting in a place like this is really hard."

Fang Zheng stared at the distance warily, and shook his head helplessly. Although he had heard rumors about the border of order from Bishop Karl and Shi Dong, it was not until he experienced it himself that Fang Zheng realized that it was no wonder that these paladins had such a hard time resisting the chaos monsters.

To use an analogy, in the world of order, when Fang Zheng used his skills, he felt like he was on a 5G network, sending and receiving instantly without any delay. But here at the Twilight Boundary, Fang Zheng felt as if his "signal" was being strongly affected, not to mention the 5G level, even 3G was difficult to reach.

The further away from the border area of ​​the Northern Fortress, the more unstable Fang Zheng felt his power became. Both the chain lightning of the Second Sword and Fang Zheng's own ability to manipulate time began to become less coherent, just like the network suddenly changed from WiFi to 2G, and even "disconnected"!

No wonder the Northland Fortress has been forced to passively defend here for so many years. It all happened because the grassroots order network was not properly built.

As Fang Zheng thought of this, he saw a beam of light coming from a distance, passing through his body and hitting the ground. Fang Zheng's body was completely blasted into pieces by the beam of light, but the next moment, he appeared at the city wall again.

"This thing can actually perform a sneak attack... It's not stupid..."

As if in response to Fang Zheng's words, the angry and unwilling howl of the demon beast lord came from afar. But no matter what, at least for now, the crisis facing the defense line has been temporarily resolved.

"call……"

Seeing the monsters being completely annihilated, the soldiers and paladins on the wall finally breathed a sigh of relief. They put down their weapons and showed expressions of having survived a disaster. In fact, most people didn't know what was going on, but they were sure that someone must have come to support them!

"this……"

At this moment, on the tower of the fortress headquarters in the rear, Knight Commander Wells also saw the heart-shaking scene. Compared to others, he knew better where that powerful force came from... That was a power that only legendary strongmen were qualified to use!

Is that young man actually a legendary warrior?

Thinking of this, Wells also felt a little unbelievable. Although he and Fang Zheng had only chatted casually for a few words, he could see that the other party was not very old, but he actually possessed such strength. No wonder he vowed that he could guard the first line of defense. Now it seems that the young man was not bragging!

And now is the opportunity!

These thoughts flashed through the mind of Knight Commander Wales at lightning speed. He didn't even have time to marvel at how such an outstanding young man appeared in the Holy Kingdom, because the monsters had been destroyed, and this was the best time to defend their Northern Fortress!

"Quick, send a signal immediately and ask everyone to set out immediately to repair the defense line and defend! Quick!!"

As Knight Commander Wells roared, a wizard beside him immediately raised his staff and shot three balls of light into the sky. Seeing the signal, the paladins who had been waiting in a hurry also set off and rushed towards the defense line in the distance.

However, the Chaos Monsters were faster than them.

Although Fang Zheng's Second Sword instantly cleared all the Chaos Monsters in the battlefield in front of the Order Fortress's defense line, it didn't take long before more Chaos Monsters came from the horizon. Not only that, this time the huge Monster Lord was also mixed in. Obviously, it didn't intend to wait any longer.

"Everyone, pick up your weapons and prepare to fight!!"

Looking at the Chaos Beasts that were attacking again, a team leader raised his sword and roared loudly. He looked back at the three balls of light that were emitting dazzling light like flares in the night sky behind him, and then turned around.

"Reinforcements from the rear will arrive soon. Before that, you must hold on here even if it means risking your own lives!!"

"oh--!!"

Hearing these words, the soldiers on the city wall immediately shouted. If they were exhausted just now, now they have regained the strength and courage to fight.

"I, I will continue to fight..."

As he was speaking, the paladin who had fallen from the city wall stood up again, sword in hand. But just as he was about to take a step forward, the girl with twin ponytails appeared in front of him again.

"You don't have to work so hard, uncle. Your injuries haven't healed yet."

"Thank you, little one."

Looking at the girl with twin ponytails in front of him, the Paladin couldn't help but smile and nodded to her.

"I don't know who you are, but thank you for saving me. However, I am a paladin. It is my destiny to sacrifice myself for the protection of order. Even if it means death, I will never escape..."

"No no no, uncle!"

But before the Paladin could finish his words, he saw the girl with twin ponytails shaking her head vigorously, interrupting him.

"It's not good to die casually, and you don't need to fight so hard, we are here! Besides, our companions will be here soon."

"companion?"

“That’s right!”

Hearing the Paladin's puzzled question, the girl with twin ponytails giggled and then pointed towards the Paladin.

"Look!"

"?"

Following the direction of the twin-tailed girl's finger, the paladin turned his head in confusion - then his eyes widened in surprise.
