"To be honest, we don't have any clear clues about the unusual movements of the monsters this time."

Back in the command room, Knight Commander Wells began to explain to Fang Zheng in detail the strangeness of this tide of monsters.

According to common sense, the monsters usually start to move in winter, but when the ground thaws in spring, they will retreat. After all, these monsters have no connection with each other, and some of them are even each other's food. They may unite to attack the fortress, but that is because of "survival needs". After winter is over, the rigid conditions that force these monsters no longer exist, so these monsters will return to the land of chaos and continue their lives.

Then they wait until the next winter to "migrate" again.

But things are a little different this year.

"Originally, because of the unusual behavior of the monsters in winter, we thought that they would be more obedient when spring comes. After all, in the battle last winter, these monsters also suffered heavy losses. Logically speaking, they should be more obedient in the spring, but..."

At this point, Knight Commander Wells also showed an incredible expression.

"These monsters seem to have gone crazy. They have no intention of leaving at all. They look like they will not stop until they break through this place."

The actions of these monsters certainly shocked the defenders of the Northland Fortress, but they had no way of figuring out what was going on. At first, they simply thought that the monsters were only staying for a short time. After all, these Chaos Monsters had no concept of time, so it was normal for them to arrive a day earlier or later.

But when spring turned to summer, even the most optimistic Paladins knew that something was wrong - the Chaos monsters had never besieged the Northern Fortress for such a long time!

But at the moment, the Holy Kingdom did not have any extra troops to reinforce, and the Northland Fortress itself could not hold out. If Fang Zheng had not led the Tiandao Palace to reinforce in time, the situation would have been even worse.

Repelling the monsters' attack on the Northland Fortress was only the first step. Bishop Karl hoped that Fang Zheng could unite with the defenders of the Northland Fortress to go deep into the land of chaos and thoroughly investigate the cause of the Northland monster riots. If possible, completely eliminate them all. It was for this reason that he asked Fang Zheng to bring his fleet to support him.

"Regarding the monster riot... Knight Commander Wells, do you have any clues?"

"As for clues, it's not that there are none at all."

In response to Fang Zheng's question, Knight Commander Wells thought for a while before pulling out a document from the side.

"Every spring, we send several teams of scouts deep into the Land of Chaos to determine the status of the monsters. This year is no exception, except that most of them did not return. However, one scout team brought back some concerning news..."

As he spoke, Knight Commander Wells handed over the document. Fang Zheng took the document, opened it, and looked at the information inside.

"...There's...a light underground? The earth is shaking? The wrath of the gods is about to fall? What is this?"

But no matter how Fang Zheng read it, he just felt that it was like the ravings of a group of lunatics. There was absolutely no clue between the lines.

"This is what is in the scriptures in the temple."

Knight Commander Wales reached out and took out a thick scriptures from the side.

"All the paladins would recite this canon, and as for the messages they conveyed, I think it was because they had been corrupted by Chaos at that time and could no longer maintain their own identities... After all, you should also know, Mr. Fang Zheng, that the deeper we, the people of Order, go into the Land of Chaos, the easier it is for us to be corrupted by Chaos, and we will gradually become unable to control ourselves... Perhaps, at that time, they had no other way to convey information except this way."

“…”

Looking at the thick scriptures in front of him, Fang Zheng was silent for a while.

It was a good thing that I didn't reveal to the other party that I was also a Holy Spirit Knight.

"So, these contents are..."

"It's the 'rebirth' section in the scriptures..."

Having said that, Knight Commander Wales opened the canon and pointed to a paragraph with a line drawn on it. Fang Zheng reached out and took the canon.

"…The shadow of Chaos descended again. The will of the Goddess resounded across the land. Wherever the sun shone, all evil was exposed. 'This is not our last battle.' The voice of the Goddess echoed in everyone's heart. It was a gentle but powerful sentence. 'The war between Order and Chaos continues, but now, we will finally win.'

The earth began to crack, the sky began to rumble, and along with the words of the goddess, holy beams of light fell from the sky, and the wrath of the gods swept everything... huh? "

Seeing this, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head and looked at Knight Commander Wells.

"Mr. Wells, the records here..."

"This is what our ancestors once recorded. When the goddess appeared, she destroyed chaos and gave this continent a new life."

“…”

After hearing the answer from Knight Commander Wales, Fang Zheng picked up the scripture.

"Excuse me, Lord Wells, do you mind if I take a look at this book?"

"Of course."

After Fang Zheng left the command post, he found a place to sit down. Then he quickly put down the scripture in his hand and began to read the contents word by word again.

Strictly speaking, Fang Zheng had read this canon before. That was when he had just traveled to this world. In order to have a "clean" identity, Fang Zheng joined the Holy Temple and became a knight. At that time, he had read this canon before, but Fang Zheng just flipped through it casually and did not read it carefully. In his opinion, religious books in any world are actually the same, but now, when Fang Zheng carefully read this canon again, he found that the content described in it...seemed a little...meaningful.

Different from other religions that like to portray their main gods as the creators of heaven and earth, Fang Zheng believes that the goddess described in the temple's scriptures is clearly an outsider.

The entire canon is divided into three parts. The first part records the original appearance of this continent. According to the records in the canon, this continent was once full of dangers and chaos. Humans could only hide in corners and caves like rats, shivering and living day by day.

Although the description of this period in the scriptures is full of artistic processing, Fang Zheng can still find some clues. If everything in the scriptures is true, then the world was originally quite dangerous and chaotic. Not only is there no distinction between the four seasons, the temperature is also fluctuating. Maybe it was "warm and comfortable" yesterday, but it is "freezing cold" today. The temperature is fluctuating, and various diseases break out from time to time. And those humans infected with the disease either turn into monsters or die of the disease.

At that time, humans in this world had no future and seemed to be just waiting to die in despair.

But one day, "the goddess came from the sky on a golden ark, her warm light tore through the darkness, dispelled the fog, and brought us shelter like a mother protecting her children." After that, the goddess "created the four seasons, distinguished between day and night, and brought the fire of knowledge and civilization."

Under the guidance of the goddess, "people took up arms, used the knowledge and power they gained from the Mother of Order, and bravely fought against the evil enemies of Chaos. In the end, the goddess took action and completely eliminated the source of evil. From then on, the earth ushered in peace."

This is also the second part of the religious records. As for the remaining third part, it tells the story of the goddess returning to the sky to watch over her people, and all the people must always remember that their current beautiful and happy life is a gift from the goddess, etc. This part is no different from the religious scriptures in Fang Zheng's memory.

but……

"This content is really interesting..."

While watching the clip recorded in the canon in front of him of "the goddess descending from the sky on her golden mount", Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at the Hell's Angel-class battleship not far above his head...

Hmm...if you remove those artistic descriptions...

Can I make a bold guess?
