Chapter 63: The Attacked Stronghold

"What's wrong?"

Hearing the sound outside, Fang Zheng suddenly asked. Of course, the carriage does not have the high-tech ability of self-driving, and the driver is a young man sent by Clark named Garrison, who is also a clever little guy. Because of his young age, he did not go to the front line to fight before, but was in charge of logistics in the rear, so he was not injured. In addition, people are very clever and familiar with the terrain here, so Clark asked him to be in charge of driving the carriage.

"That's right, the stronghold seems to be a bit ......... Something is wrong........."

"Stronghold?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, and then he pushed open the door and stepped out of the carriage and came to the coachman's side. Seeing him coming, the clever young man immediately nodded respectfully to him, and then pointed ahead.

"My lord, look ........."

Following Garrison's point, Founder soon saw a colony not far down the hill, which, according to Clark, was the safest place in the area, with fifty soldiers stationed there, as well as a Templar. It was a stronghold that connected the fortress of order to the rear of the Northern Alliance, so it was very lively and heavily guarded on weekdays.

But now, it looked dilapidated, the solid façade was missing several openings, and black smoke could be seen. It's not as simple as a little wrong, no matter how you look at it, it's very wrong here.

"How is that possible? Could it be that even the stronghold has been breached? ”

Fangzheng's body has been strengthened by the Zerg, and his eyesight is more than ten times that of ordinary people, which is basically equivalent to bringing his own telescope. Therefore, he just glanced at it, and immediately figured out the situation of the stronghold, and the young man obviously did not have this ability, in his eyes the stronghold was just a small black spot, if it were not for the experience to determine that the black smoke was coming from the direction of the stronghold, he would not even suspect that something was wrong there.

But now, standing here staring at the little black dot in the distance, the more the young man thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

"It shouldn't be, even if you encounter a black wolf pack, the stronghold has enough strength to resist the attack, how can it .........?"

"I'll go check on the situation."

Fang Zheng interrupted the young man's self-talk, he patted the other man on the shoulder, and then glanced around.

"You drive the carriage to a safe place first, and I'll investigate what's going on there."

"You're going alone? My lord, will you ......... alone?"

However, before the young man's words were finished, he saw a soft sound of "swish" in his ears, and when he turned his head to look again, he was surprised to find that Fang Zheng, who was supposed to be standing not far from him, had disappeared without a trace like a ghost.

“……… It's scary. ”

Looking at the empty ground, Garrison pats his chest. If he hadn't seen Fang Zheng's teleportation-like ability on the city wall, I'm afraid he would have thought that he had encountered the legendary forest monster or ghost.........

Founder didn't know what was going on in Garrison's mind at the moment, so he had already arrived at the gate not far from the stronghold, and looked at the stronghold in front of him with a serious face.

If Fang Zheng had only guessed before, he was now almost certain that the stronghold had fallen. The empty door of the stronghold was now open, blood was left everywhere on the walls and ground, and even scattered weapons and charred corpses could be seen on the ground, and it was clear that there had indeed been a fierce battle.

However, Fang Zheng's expression was so serious, not because the stronghold had been breached, but because he smelled a vague smell of sulfur in the burned ashes on the ground. Although those black wolves can also spit fire, they spit out magical flames, which are clean and tasteless. In fact, there is only one type of flame that carries this distinctive smell of sulfur.

That's the fire from hell.

And in Fang Zheng's memory, on this continent, there is only one kind of person who will use this kind of flame.

Cultists.

Believers in the Day of Destruction, to be exact. In their "holy scriptures", there is a detailed record of the prophecy that the whole world will eventually be consumed by the flames and destroyed. Therefore, the believers of the Church of Doom are particularly fond of using the power of fire to show their power and authority, and the primitive, furious, and ability of the Hellfire to burn everything to ashes perfectly interprets the cultists' imagination of the Fire of Destruction, so they learn how to fight from hell with the power of this flame. And the more outstanding the cultists, the more skillful they are at using this power.

As for why Founder knows this? It's very simple, although he has changed his body, Williams's memory is still in his mind! As a cultist, that kid is still quite qualified. Fang Zheng even dug up a little secret from his memory——— judging how strong a cultist is, just smell the smell of hellfire on his body.

Fang Zheng also learned from Williams' memories that even some crazy high-ranking believers would completely infuse Hellfire into their bodies, using secret methods to restrain their power. In this way, these high-level believers can use the very powerful hellfire to fight anytime and anywhere, and they can blow themselves up if they can't beat it.........

The current situation of this stronghold seemed a little strange to Fang Zheng, and from the outside, it was under a fierce attack. Apparently the stronghold was under very heavy attack from the start. However, the interior of the colony is relatively peaceful, and most of the contents of the rooms are intact, except for the signs that they have been searched. In other words, after the stronghold was breached, it surrendered very quickly, and then everyone was taken away......... Well?

At this moment, Fang Zheng's ears suddenly moved, and then he turned his head and looked at the wall beside him. Soon, Fangzheng's eyes began to change, his originally dark brown eyes quickly turned golden, and his pupils also turned into a vertical line.

This is also the ability that Fang Zheng inherited from the Zerg gene, through this ability, he can not only easily see in the dark, but can even use techniques similar to "infrared detection" to scan the existence of living beings. It's just that although these abilities are convenient, Founder can't use them at any time. Because when using these abilities, his eyes will inevitably transform into the form of a zerg. This is obviously difficult to explain to outsiders, so unless he is alone or as a last resort, Fang Zheng is not willing to expose his abilities from the Zerg.

Soon, in Fangzheng's eyes, the world began to change, and the bright red color enveloped the whole world, and then became darker. Immediately after, Fang Zheng saw that not far from the other side of the wall, a bright red figure was leaning against the door, making a fighting posture, it was obvious that the other party seemed to sense something, and planned to launch a sneak attack on him.

Is it a survivor? Or an intruder?

Fang Zheng clenched the long sword in his hand, and he blinked and withdrew his gaze. Then Fang Zheng stretched out his hand, clenched his long sword and slashed at the wall!

The dazzling light of the sword slammed into the hard wall like a battering ram, and the wall made of stone began to dent and burst under the sword. At the same time, the world in front of Fangzheng began to change.

The scattered pieces of rubble suddenly slowed down, and they flipped slowly, like snails flying through the air. This situation is very similar to the scene of bullet time during the assault explosion in the FPS played by Fang Zheng in his previous life, and in fact, this is also the inspiration of Fang Zheng, there are many uses of the time ability, and this is one of the things he has explored.

After all, in the games he played in his previous life, there were many ways to use time!

Fang Zheng rushed into the hole with an arrow, and soon he saw a figure retreating in a hurry, obviously the other party did not expect his opponent to play cards so unconventionally, and directly demolished the wall without going through the gate. The man raised his sword and tried to fight back. But unfortunately, his movements at the moment were as slow as a turtle crawling in Fang Zheng's eyes, and before he could raise the long sword, the Void Sword in Fang Zheng's hand was already attached to his neck.

And at this moment, time resumes again.

"Click........."

The scattered rubble flew down, and the smoke and dust dispersed for a while, and the man struggled for a while, but before he could make the next move, Fang Zheng saw the face of the person in front of him clearly, and then he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Knight Conan? How are you? What are you doing here? ”
