Chapter 64: Old Acquaintances Again
It's no wonder that Fang Zheng was so surprised, because just as he was about to subdue the other party, Fang Zheng also saw that person's face clearly——— he was the knight with a very dangerous name who had fought with him before, but Fang Zheng didn't expect that he would actually meet him here again.
"Who are you?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Knight Conan was also stunned, and his hand that was struggling was also put down. He originally thought that the other party was a cultist, but he didn't expect this person to call in and actually call out his name in one mouth, and his appearance was ......... Sound familiar?
Thinking of this, Knight Conan also frowned, looked at Fang Zheng, and at the same time struggled to find his name in his memory. But soon, Founder revealed the answer.
"I'm Founder."
"Are you Mr. Founder?"
Hearing this answer, Conan suddenly realized, his eyes widened, he looked Fang Zheng up and down, and finally found the familiar traces from this young man.
"You're really still alive, Mr. Fangzheng, where have you been for most of the past six months? Why is there no news at all, and you've changed a little too much........."
For Conan's doubts, Fang Zheng also understands. The age of his original body was probably 18 or 9 years old. When it comes to reshaping his body, Fang Zheng chose what he looked like when he was 20 years old, so the difference will not be too big. But fortunately, he has been gone for more than half a year, otherwise if it is just a few days or months, it will be difficult to justify this change.
"It's a long story, but in fact I'm back here for the last few days......... I didn't even think I'd been gone for so long. ”
While putting away the long sword, Fang Zheng replied. He didn't have to worry that his answer would make Knight Conan suspicious, this is a world with a fairly developed magical civilization, many mages have some spells that can connect to the dimensional plane, and there are many stories in the record that people have strayed into certain worlds. In fact, Fang Zheng came back this time and was ready......... Well, he had another bold idea.
"That's right......... I see, the Great Knight of Stone and the Grand Knight of Malte will be very happy to know about it. ”
"Okay, we'll talk about it later."
Since the other party is someone he knows, then Fang Zheng doesn't need to be so vigilant, he looked around, and then asked curiously.
"What's going on here? Looks like you've been attacked? ”
"Yes, exactly! Those damn cultists........."
When it came to this, Knight Conan was also extremely angry, and told the other party the whole thing as it was. And Fang Zheng finally knew what happened to the Overworld after he crossed over.
After he defeated the Child of Chaos, the underground cavern collapsed (so Founder finally understood why he had been teleported to this hellish place), and luckily Archknight Stone and Grand Knight Malte managed to escape with the remaining Templars. The Lord of the Lich was gone, and the spatial barrier that had been used to seal it off was lifted, so that everyone returned to the temple after that.
As a member of the team, Knight Conan was relieved of his duties from the squad upon his return to the Temple. It's not that the bishopric is dissatisfied with them, but because this search team was originally a temporary assembly mission, and now that the mission has ended, everyone will naturally disband on the spot and go back to their own homes to find their own mothers.
By the way, according to the Knight Conan, the Bishopric seems to have determined that the Templars killed in the previous pursuit of the cultists were killed by the Lord of the Lich, and this time the other party killed more than a dozen Templars in order to complete the ritual of lifting the seal of the Children of Chaos, it can be said that the Lord of the Black Cauldron has betrayed.
After completing his mission, the Knight Conan returned to the Northern Alliance, where he was born and where he became a Templar. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE FORTRESS OF ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BATTLE, BUT BECAUSE HE WAS ALSO SERIOUSLY INJURED IN THE PREVIOUS BATTLE WITH THE LORD OF THE LICH, AND THE CHILDREN OF CHAOS GAVE HIM A WAVE OF FORBIDDEN DEMON DEBUFFS, CAUSING HIS BODY TO BECOME QUITE WEAK. Eventually, the Knight of Conan was appointed to stay in charge of staying here, both to monitor the supply lines and to recuperate. After all, everyone knows that the rear is still not so dangerous compared to the front. And with the ability of Knight Conan, it will naturally not be bad. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen to join the squad and head to Shadow Canyon.
At first, it was quite idle, but as the days passed, Knight Conan began to gradually become nervous, and he was also a member of the Order Fortress, so he naturally knew about the WoW disaster. Although he can only be in the rear now, he also ordered everyone to be vigilant and prepare to resist the disaster of demonic beasts, and also specially sent two cavalry teams to be responsible for patrolling the rear and the front line.
And just three days ago, something strange happened.
It was just after the first snow fell, and Knight Conan found that he hadn't received a notification from the Order Fortress, which made him a little confused. Because according to the rules, when the first snow falls, the Order Fortress will contact the rear strongholds first to make sure that all of them are ready to deal with the Monster disaster. This process has not changed since Knight Conan joined the Temple, but the first snow fell until late at night, and he was not informed, which made Knight Conan nervous all of a sudden, and he immediately sent a cavalry team to the Fortress of Order to check the situation, and at the same time tried to use the Templar's contact crystal to communicate with the front.
But there was still no response.
At this point, Knight Conan felt that something was wrong, and he immediately reported it to the Templar headquarters in the rear, but then Knight Conan found that he could not get in touch with the headquarters.
At this moment, Knight Conan was also shocked, he had never encountered this situation at all. But he is also an elite knight, and he has scolded the Lord of the Lich in the Shadow Canyon, so his reaction is naturally not bad. Hurriedly ordered the entire stronghold to be locked under martial law, and the first-level combat readiness mode was activated.
But alas, the other party moved faster than Knight Conan thought, and before he could give his order, those damned cultists attacked. They attacked the entire stronghold, and at first the Templars fought the cultists, but they were so powerful that there were even mages of destruction who could manipulate hellfire!
The Destruction Mage is the backbone of the Destruction Day Sect, and the corresponding existence of the Great Knight class is almost the same. If Stone or Malte were here, they might be able to stand in the way of each other. Conan, on the other hand, was only a Templar and had just recovered from a serious illness, so he was no match at all. As a result, before he could make a move, the other party directly blew up the tower he was in with a hellish explosion, and Knight Conan was directly buried inside.
It was also a loss that his life should not be extinguished, this unlucky child was not crushed to death, but when he woke up, the entire stronghold was already empty, and Knight Conan himself managed to escape from the rubble, and just when he finished bandaging his wounds and planned to explore the traces of those cultists, Fang Zheng also appeared here. At that time, Knight Conan didn't know that it was Fangzheng, he thought that those cultists were going and returning, so he ambushed by the wall and waited to take one hostage, but he didn't expect it......... I actually ran into Founder.
"I see........."
After listening to Knight Conan's story, Fang Zheng didn't say much, just sighed and patted the other party's shoulder.
"Okay, relax, at least now you're alive, that's a good thing, isn't it?"
After all, your name......... I won't say anything.
"Hey........."
However, the face of the Knight of Conan is not very good.
"I'm only worried about what's going on over there in the fortress right now, knowing that in the face of the Monster disaster, they won't be able to get out at all. Without supplies from the rear, the fortress could not hold out for a month! And now, our communication with the rear is completely cut off......... The cultists have taken my men again, not even their corpses, and I'm really worried about what they're going to do........."
"If you lose contact with the stronghold, won't there be any reaction from the rear?"
In the face of Fangzheng's inquiry, Knight Conan shook his head with an ugly face.
"Although nominally the Northern Alliance should send someone to check it out, in fact, it is our temple that is taking over, and it is ........."
Speaking of this, Knight Conan didn't say anything more, just let out a long sigh.
Of course, Fang Zheng understood what the other party meant, and on this continent, the relationship between countries is very delicate. Even more subtle than the earth, although this continent is led by several of the most powerful countries such as the Holy Religion Country, and other countries cannot be compared to them, but these few large countries cannot bully small countries as they want on Earth.
He originally thought that the big powers in this world could do whatever they wanted, but after reading the records of the temple, Fang Zheng realized that this world was not exactly the same as what he thought.
The reason is simple, because this is a magical world!
A small country is bullied by a big country, then destroyed, their prince leaves his homeland, and then has many adventures, and finally becomes a powerful legendary powerhouse who comes back to fight back and take revenge, this kind of plot is not a novel on this continent, but it has really played out, and even more than once!
There were also weak countries that were oppressed and couldn't resist, and in the end they were completely desperate, sacrificing the citizens of the entire country to open the portal to hell, and plunging the entire continent into a full 150 years of dark war, this kind of thing is not a novel, but a real history book!
It's a magical world where anything is possible!
Although it is said that these people eventually fell for various reasons, and the crazy country was completely destroyed. But these are the lessons of blood! How do you know if there will be another Long Aotian in those weak countries?
Not to mention destroying your entire country, killing a few members of your royal family at random, or staring at the capital to bombard the capital with five fireballs, do you want the face of your country for thousands of years? Even if there is no magic on Earth, everyone can hit the building with a passenger plane, and the human bomb will still slip away. In this world, it's not a human bomb, it's a human nuclear bomb!
It's still the kind that can plague for hundreds of years.
This is also the reason why those small countries have not been completely annexed by the big ones, and it is not that there have been no ambitious monarchs who have tried to destroy these small states, but they have all failed for similar reasons. And after hundreds of years of continuous war on the mainland, these big countries can be regarded as reaching a consensus——— so why do they have to force people to have no way out? Barefoot is not afraid to wear 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 people to die, and then sacrifice a wave of hell to teleport, and then drag us in? Isn't this a brain disease?
Finally, after the death sacrifice, all the nations of the continent gathered in Caron and signed the world-famous Violet Covenant, which stipulated that no nation should easily declare war on another country except in the event of an emergency. At the same time, it also defines the covenant between the various nations.
So the situation on the continent is basically like an alliance between various countries, united by economic or military means.
The same is true of the relationship between the Northern Alliance and the Holy Religion Country, the Northern Alliance was originally united by some small tribes in the north, and then sent representatives to form an alliance with the Holy Religion Country. The Land of the Holy Religion assists them in guarding their borders, maintaining order, and eradicating Chaos. In return, the Northern Alliance needs to be responsible for the supply of materials and logistics to the fortress of order.
The two sides have been working well together, but the Knight Conan also knows that things are not so simple, and there are many troubles within the Northern Alliance.........
But now was naturally not the time to talk about this, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Mr. Fangzheng, what do you think?"
"Me?"
Hearing Knight Conan's inquiry, Fang Zheng thought for a moment.
"All in all, let's act first."
