Chapter Seventy-Two: The Fallen City

Rescuing the Templars was not difficult, and after recovering the keys from the cultists, Fina and Fang Zheng quickly broke the shackles of chaos that bound the Templars. And without the shackles, these Templars looked much better.

"Thank you both for your help."

One of the Templars at the head nodded to Fang Zheng very respectfully, Fang Zheng had already explained his identity to them before, and to Fang Zheng's surprise, these Templars had actually heard of his "heroic deeds" more or less, it seems that after the return of the Knight Conan, he told them what happened in the Shadow Canyon in the stronghold, so that these Templars' attitude towards him was quite respectful.

Of course, this is also a good thing for the other party, at least he doesn't have to bother to win the other party's trust.

"No need to be polite, in fact, the reason why I chased after me, in addition to saving people, is mainly to find out what this group of cultists plan to do, do you have any clues?"

"This ............"

Hearing Fangzheng's inquiry, the Templar warrior named John at the head showed a somewhat ugly expression on his face.

"I'm very sorry, Lord Fangzheng, we don't know the true purpose of these cultists. They were very tight-mouthed along the way, and we couldn't find any clues at all. The only thing we know is that these cultists are planning to take us to the dark swamp........."

"Dark Swamp?!"

Hearing this, Fina next to her suddenly screamed, her eyes widening and she stared at the Templar in front of her in surprise.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, they said they were going to take us to the Dark Swamp........."

"What's wrong? Any questions? ”

Looking at Fina's pale face, Fang Zheng frowned, and then asked. Hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Fina was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

"No, Mr. Fangzheng, it may be that I am thinking too much........."

"All in all, let's talk about it first, no matter what, it's more or less a clue. I don't think these cultists are going to the Dark Swamp with their captives, and they shouldn't be going for tourism. ”

"That......... I said........."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Fina hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and whispered.

"That......... If I'm not mistaken, in the depths of the dark swamp......... It is the ruins of that forgotten land......... Summer........."

"Summer?!"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng hadn't reacted yet, but the Templar soldier named John had a big change in complexion.

"You mean to say that these cultists intend to take us to that cursed fallen capital?!"

Is that the place.........

At this time, Fang Zheng finally understood what Fina was talking about.

As mentioned earlier, a long time ago, this continent was full of war, and because a certain country finally sacrificed its entire population under the threat to open the door to hell, so after that, the whole continent passed a dark period of more than 150 years, that is, after that, the countries of the continent signed the "Violet Covenant" to end this war.

And the one who started it was Summer.

According to the historical records that Fang Zheng saw in the temple, Samer used to be a very rich and small country, but with the spread of war, their country was threatened by a neighboring country called Kadra because of its wealth and superior location, which was one of the most powerful countries on the continent at that time, and it valued Samer's location and wealth, so it sent a large army to invade Samer, intending to annex it completely.

The Sammers, on the other hand, are strong, hard, and full of blood, and although there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, they are still desperate to die. But even so, the entire country was eventually destroyed by Kadera, and their capital, the Shining City, was surrounded by an army. The Emperor of Kadra sent an ultimatum to the Samers, demanding that they surrender within three days, or else they would be bloodied.

Under heavy pressure, the Samers finally agreed to Emperor Kadera's request, and Kaejo surrendered three days later.

But on the third day, when the city of Radiance was still not open, the enraged Emperor Kadra himself led a large army to breach the gates, and then they saw a terrifying scene.

The city is littered with corpses.

The corpses of men, women, children, and even babies, these corpses continue to form a huge and evil magic array. Just as Emperor Kadra entered the city, the magic circle was activated.

It tore through the entire space, and at the cost of the entire city and the souls of all of Sammer's unjustly killed, it summoned one of the most powerful demon kings in Hell, Gletus.

The Dark Legion destroyed the entire Kadra army in an instant. Soon after, they began to spread to the periphery, and the ruler of Samer made a pact with the demon king with the souls of all his people, demanding that they destroy all the nations that had invaded Samer or ignored them in the event of war. Babu happily carried out the agreement, and the devil's army destroyed Kadra and the surrounding countries, and then began to invade every corner of the continent in a frenzy.

For the next hundred and fifty years, the continent was plunged into darkness, death, blood, and chaos. The Legion of Twilight on the Frontiers of Order is in full swing, and darkness and demons are raging in the flames of death and evil. Countless nations were destroyed and disappeared into flames.

In the end, under the leadership of the Holy Sect Country and the Demon Guide Country, the remnants of the mainland united to launch a desperate counterattack. A group of warriors favored by the true gods form a death squad, and then there is the Hollywood blockbuster routine, they disguise themselves as evil degenerates and infiltrate the city of radiance, which has been reduced to a dark lair, where they burn their souls and summon the power of the true gods, completely seal the spatial passage, and banish the demon god Babu from the overworld. And the Devil's Army, which lost its support, was also weak and was finally wiped out by the coalition forces.

This battle of darkness lasted for one hundred and fifty years, and countless people lost their lives in this battle against darkness. Not only that, but the most important is Chaos' invasion of the world of order. Before that battle, Chaos was far away from the continent, but now, why was the Fortress of Order built not far from the edge of the Dark Swamp?

Because the vast territory that used to belong to Kadra has now become a paradise for the minions of Chaos!

And the cause of all this is simply the attempt of a large country to annex a small country.

It was after that that everyone finally understood that a country should never be driven to its death, or else......... Who knows if it will pull other people along the way.

"But isn't it completely sealed away? I remember that the account also said that the goddess of order had placed the seal on her own. ”

"That's what I thought, but I'm always a little worried......... Sorry, maybe I'm thinking too much........."

Looking at Fina, who looked hesitant, Fang Zheng didn't understand her thoughts, it's like a policeman going out on a mission to catch a criminal, you said to catch a murderer and come back, if people are involved in guns and drugs, it's quite normal, understandable. But if you want to catch a criminal, only to find out that the other party actually plans to drop a nuclear bomb to destroy the world, then you will doubt your life at the first time.

This script is unrealistic.

"Anyway, we just need to catch these cultists and interrogate them to find out what they want to do."

Fang Zheng waved his hand, and was about to say something more, when suddenly at this moment, his ears remembered Nimfu's voice.

"The hosts! I detected the mage's energy fluctuations, and he's back to camp! ”

"Oh?"

Hearing Nimfu's answer, Fangzheng's eyes lit up.

"Looks like we'll find out what's going on right away."
