Chapter 498: Following the Giant's Trail
Although they had already received the information, Founder and Wells did not change their goals, they still moved forward step by step, and at the same time used the crystal tower to expand the territory of the order. On the one hand, attacking without knowing the front will only bring danger, and on the other hand, since they already know the cause of the Warcraft riot, the remaining problems will naturally be much easier to solve.
From the current point of view, if there is no error in the diary of that paladin, then there is a goddess guardian who suddenly activated for some reason, and then began to kill the chaos monsters hereβββ which is not surprising, if according to Fang Zheng's guess, the so-called goddess guardian is likely to be some kind of autonomous machinery of a higher civilization, and it is very likely that there is an order to destroy chaos in its internal command code. Therefore, after seeing the chaos monsters, the other party naturally would not let these guys go.
And for now, the Chaos Monsters are obviously no match for the Guardians, and those who are killed can only hold their heads and run away, perhaps it is for this reason that they choose to storm the Northland Fortress. After all, at present, it seems that the combat power of the Northland Fortress is obviously inferior to that guardian, and the Chaos Demon Beasts also understand the truth of persimmon picking up soft pinching.
The group of demonic beasts that Fang Zheng and the others encountered before were probably also heading in their direction in order to escape the attack of that guardian. It's a pity that he ran into the fleet led by Fang Zheng head-on, and this is really no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground......... It can only be said that these chaos monsters are also unlucky.........
However, it is a pity that although Fang Zheng sent a lot of drones to detect, he did not find the trace of the "guardian" recorded by the paladin, which made him somewhat suspicious. After all, according to Wells, these paladins will go deep into the land of chaos, and without the crystal tower to expand the power of order, chaos will invade their minds and brains, if what he recorded before is just a fantasy of his brain getting out of control because of chaos, then they are in vain.
But if you want to search faster......... Nimfu had a suggestion.
"Is that her?"
Looking at the white battleship suspended in the air in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but be a little surprised, the battleship in front of him was different from other battleships, its appearance did not look like a battleship, the white hull stretched out like a snake, the most striking thing was that the tail of this battleship was covered with a ring with a red horizontal line drawn on a white background, well......... If nothing else, this size doesn't look like a battleship.
"Stasius?"
"It was made a few days ago, although it is very average in terms of combat, but she specializes in search and research, and is currently working as an assistant for me, and her strength is still guaranteed. And she's very good at it, and I think if she does it, she will be able to find the goal we need faster. β
And with Nimfu's introduction, Fang Zheng also saw a girl wearing a maid dress and long blue hair appear out of thin air and appear in front of him, she looked at Fang Zheng in front of her with a smile, and then stretched out her hand to put it on her chest, raising her head proudly.
"Hello for the first time, Commander, I'm the Stexus-class Sea Mist Cruiser Neptune, do you feel a little strange? Don't worry, from now on, you will never forget me...... Please advise. β
"Hello."
Looking at Neptune in front of him, Fang Zheng nodded. There are a lot of children with strange personalities in the mental model, and Fang Zheng is used to this, so he doesn't have any special attitude towards Neptune.
"So, can we begin?"
"Of course, please leave it to me."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Neptune proudly stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and then saw several probes quickly launched from both sides of the white battleship overhead, and they flew forward quickly, disappearing into the sky in a short time. Then Neptune opened his hands, and soon, a 3D stereoscopic scanning holographic projection map appeared in front of Fangzheng.
On the map, several blue balls were slowly moving forward, and Neptune was stretching out his fingers, controlling their direction and zooming in and out from time to time......... Soon, one of the balls turned red, and Neptune immediately reached out and began to resize the red ball, turning it into a red dot. Then she stretched out her hand to summon it, and Fang Zheng saw that four scanning apertures began to converge around the red dots, and they enveloped the red dots in them from the four directions of south, east, west, and north.
"Drip βββ"
Soon, the red dot turns yellow, then green. Then, a map appeared in front of Fangzheng.
"What is this?"
Looking at the map in front of him, Fang Zheng was also slightly taken aback, because what was shown above was a huge underground space! Not only that, but judging from the objects made of lines, this is not a natural space, but more like a man-made object! Not only that, but judging by the scans, it appears that the space has collapsed for some reason, leaving a large hole in the ground.
"Looks like some kind of factory or maintenance facility........."
As he said to himself, Neptune moved his finger again.
"I'll send a probe to search and see if I can find any clues.
With Neptune's movements, one of the probes quickly descended the hole into the depths of the earth, while the others continued their mission.
Unfortunately, Neptune was unable to find the mysterious giant who had disappeared after this, but the good news was that she found a series of traces of the giant's movements, and through these traces, she determined the size of the other party.
"It's about 80 meters tall and weighs about 2,000 tons, and it's impossible to determine what technology the other side is using, but if you analyze the traces of the battlefield and the radiation level, it should be an unknown energy."
"In that case, let's explore that underground space first."
After getting the information, Fang Zheng also quickly made a decision, now that the light giant has not appeared, then let's find out the situation here first. Anyway, according to the speed of progress, it only takes one day to reach the destination, so Fang Zheng won't care too much, of course, he still has to discuss this matter with Wells.
"Ancient ruins?"
Sure enough, after the Knight Captain of Wales heard Fang Zheng's words, the old man was about to jump up excitedly.
"Are you sure? Your Excellency Founder? β
"Of course I'm not sure, why should I go to investigate if I'm sure?"
Fang Zheng spread his hands helplessly and looked at the old man in front of him. It seems that religious belief is really fanatical, and even a calm old man like the Knight of Wales was a little excited when he heard the news.
"So, can I go along?"
"This ..............."
Faced with Wells's inquiry, Fang Zheng hesitated.
"I suggest you don't risk your life, Lord Wells, after all, no one knows what is going on, and if something happens, we still have a way to get out, but you don't have to......... Moreover, the army above also needs you to be responsible for the deployment and command, I want to ask you, do you have any information or clues for me about this place? Before it was swallowed by Chaos, this place should have been a civilized place, maybe there would be rumors or clues about that ruin? β
"Uh-huh........."
This time, Wells did not answer immediately, on the contrary, he was silent for a moment before looking at Fangzheng.
"Your Excellency Fangzheng, I heard......... Have you ever been part of that operation in the Dark Swamp before? β
"That's right."
It is not surprising that Wells knows about this, even if the knight master didn't know who he was before, then the two sides must have understood each other for so many days.
"So, how much do you know about the origin of the Dark Swamp?"
"I remember......... It was an empire called Kadra trying to annex a small country called Samore, and then the citizens of that small country would rather die than obey, and finally set up a hell gate circle in the capital to connect to hell, and then brought war and death........."
Fang Zheng still remembered this matter quite clearly, after all, the battle of the Dark Swamp to close the Gate of Hell was the first Overworld mission he received after coming to this world, and it was only then that Fang Zheng began to wonder if the system he had made had any inexplicable connection with this world.........
"That's right."
Wells nodded at Fang's answer.
"In fact, the land we are on now is the territory of the Kadra Empire......... At that time, the Kadra Empire was indeed a very developed country, but I think there are some things that may not be clear to you, in fact, according to the literature, the original Kadra Empire was far more developed than we imagined. Although it can't reach the existence of your Azure Fleet, in fact, many of our current technologies, including the technology of the Magic Guided Battleship and the Magic Energy Engine, are obtained from the Kadra Empire. β
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"And that kind of thing?"
"That's right."
Wells said, lowering his voice.
"And......... According to intelligence at the time, the Kadra Empire once claimed that the reason why they had such great power was because they were blessed by the goddess, and that it was the will of the goddess that they ruled the continent........."
"Oh he..............."
Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes, although Wells's words were not long, but the amount of information was very large, and with that mysterious underground ruins......... Well, is there really something wrong with this?
