Chapter 484 Is This the Reinforcements?
It was already late at night when Wells and his men hurried to the city wall. In the distance, two shining bright spots were turning left and right towards the direction of the fortress.
"What the hell is that?"
Looking at the swaying bright spots in the distance, Wells and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. As a legendary powerhouse, although Wells appeared to be seventy or eighty on the surface, his body was still strong. Even in the dark night, he could tell at a glance that it seemed to be some kind of strange magic vehicle, but it was different from the carriage-shaped magic vehicle that Wells had seen in the White Tower before. The body of the strange magical vehicle is as flat as a waffle, but it actually has six huge wheels... What kind of design is this? What the hell did those mages in the White Tower come up with?
The speed of that oddly shaped magical car was not slow. Just when Wells was puzzled, he saw that car roaring and galloping down the road, followed by the sound of "squeak" , everyone saw that the magical car skidded and stopped not far from the gate of the fortress, and then the doors on both sides of it opened (it still opened upwards), and a young man in aristocratic clothes got out of the car. He waved at them.
"Who are you?!"
Looking at the young man under the city wall, Wells asked in a low voice. The young man waved his hand, and then immediately began to answer.
"My name is Fangzheng, and I was invited by the temple to help the Northland Fortress... Can you open the door?"
"...Fangzheng?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Wells frowned and recalled for a moment. He always felt that the name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before. But since I have an impression of the other party's name, it means that he should have a close relationship with the temple. After all, Wells is the knight commander, and the names of ordinary nobles and soldiers are definitely not qualified to be passed on to his ears. .
"Do you have the documents from the Temple?"
"certainly."
Hearing Wells' question, Fangzheng took out an envelope from his pocket. He flicked his fingers lightly, and the next moment the letter roared out like a bullet, flying over the tens of meters high city wall toward the threat. Ernes ran.
"Oh?"
This move actually made Wells a little interested in the young man in front of him. You must know that most people don't have this kind of ability. Being able to deliver a letter to him at such a long distance, it shows that the young man below is not weak, at least at his age, he is already worthy of Wells' high regard A few glances.
This thought flashed through Wells' mind, and the old paladin also reached out and grabbed the flying letter lightly and delicately, then opened it casually, and carefully examined the contents inside. Just as Wells thought, it contained the temple's certification documents, but the contents were a little unexpected. Because it says that Wells and the Northland Fortress are required to join forces with this young man named Fang Zheng to block the incoming wave of monsters.
Joint action?
Seeing this, the old paladin wondered if he was old-eyed or saw a fake document. His legion has guarded the Northland Fortress for decades, and now he wants to join forces with such a young man? Had it not been for the seals of His Majesty the Pope and the Supreme Bishop, he would have suspected that the document was a forgery.
But having said that, even if it is a forged document, it is impossible to forge such outrageous content. After all, this kind of document does not regard the other party as his subordinate, but as an existence that can sit on an equal footing with the temple. However, in the memory of the old paladin, there is no such force except in the land of magic. Could it be the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wealth? This is really strange.
"Open the gate!"
After confirming that the documents were correct, Wells also immediately issued an order, and after hearing the order from the old paladin, soon, the closed door slowly opened. And Fang Zheng got back into the car, and soon everyone heard the strange magical car start instantly, then turned around in place, and then "swish" and galloped into the fortress like this.
Who is this young man?
With such doubts in mind, everyone hurried down the city wall. They are quite curious about this, because the current Northland Fortress is quite dangerous. Without the permission of the temple, it is even impossible for ordinary people to come here. And this young man is just driving this strange magical car... What on earth is he here for?
"Well, this is the Northland Fortress...the air is fresh."
Stepping off the landing vehicle, Fangzheng couldn't help stretching his waist as he looked at the Northland Fortress in front of him. He has had "a long-standing friendship" with this Northland Fortress. After all, the reason they went to the Dark Swamp in the first place was that those cultists destroyed the Northland Fortress's logistics base, and Fang Zheng and Fina caught their tails.
But because of this, Fang Zheng never went to the Northland Fortress after that, but only heard about it from others. Looking at it now, there is nothing special about this place from the outside, except that the city wall is a little higher, there are a little more soldiers around, and there seem to be a few magic fortresses on it... Well, it seems that so?
"Woo..."
At this moment, on the other side, several other girls also stumbled out of the car. Xia Shi's complexion was a little better, and his footsteps were floating when he got off the passenger seat. Tina and Buschcui in the back had pale faces, lying on the window as if they were about to withdraw from their lives.
As for Yanzhu, she was even more unlucky. She raised her legs unsteadily and wanted to get out of the car, but she tripped over the car door with her foot, and fell to the ground with her head on the ground with a "plop"—then she never got up again.
"Hey, these children's ability to adapt is really bad."
Looking at Busch Cui, Xia Shi and others behind him, Fangzheng shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, children are still too immature to understand the fun of drag racing.
"Hello, Mr. Fangzheng."
At this time, Wells also led his men down the city wall and came to Fang Zheng. He glanced at Fangzheng in front of him, and then looked at the girls behind who were out of breath until now. He frowned slightly, and then the old paladin still spoke.
"Welcome to the Northland Fortress."
"Ah, you are His Excellency Wells, you have heard of your name for a long time..."
Looking at the old paladin in front of him, Fangzheng hurriedly shook hands with him. Before he came to the Northland Fortress, he had heard of Wells' reputation. This is a relatively old-fashioned, but very honorable paladin. . Among other things, as long as he was able to guard the land of order on the border in this ghostly place in the Northland for decades, this kind of thing is completely impossible for ordinary people.
Not to mention that Wells is one of the several knight commanders in the temple. He is not the kind of loser who was sent to the border because of political struggles. As long as Wells said a word, he could return to the bustling holy city to enjoy the happiness, but this old man was able to resist the temptation to stay here for so many years. Among other things, this sentiment is indeed extremely noble.
"Mr. Fangzheng, I have seen the documents of the temple...Frankly speaking, our current situation is indeed not very good, but..."
While talking, Wells glanced at Fangzheng and the car behind him.
"...I would like to ask, are the reinforcements mentioned in the letter... just a few of you?"
"of course not."
Fangzheng shook his head.
"It's just because we heard that the battle on the front line is urgent, so we came ahead of time to help stabilize the position. I don't want this place to be turned into ruins after our people arrive... Well, it seems that we still have time Well………"
"I see."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Wells was relieved. He originally thought that the reinforcements mentioned by the temple were only these few people. Such a joke?
"Although it seems a bit late now, you don't mind if I ask about the current situation."
"certainly."
Wells is obviously not a master of wasting time, and now he is racing against time, and he has no time to hold any welcoming ceremony for the other party here. So after Fangzheng asked, he nodded immediately, then turned and walked towards the fortress.
"Please come with me."
"OK."
Hearing what Wells said, Fangzheng also hurriedly followed, and at the same time, he did not forget to make a gesture to the little girls around him.
"Take a good rest and listen to my orders for a while."
"Yes... big brother..."
After following Wells to the headquarters, under the introduction of the old paladin, Fang Zheng also quickly understood the current situation.
"So, you plan to completely abandon the first line of defense?"
Looking at the map in front of him, Fangzheng frowned, and Wells nodded.
"Currently, we don't have enough manpower...and...the wall of the first line of defense is about to be breached, and we don't have enough time to repair it."
"But if we give up the first line of defense, the hordes of beasts will swarm in... Can this line of defense alone stop it?"
"It is indeed very difficult, but we are not without..."
"Boom boom boom!"
Before Wells finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door, and before Wells could answer, a soldier hurriedly opened the door and rushed into the headquarters.
"Report to Lord Wells! There is a report from the front that those monsters have assembled again and will launch an attack soon! Not only that, but according to the report, there seems to be a lord-level monster among the herd this time!"
"what!?"
Hearing this, Wells couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then his expression changed.
"not good!"
