Chapter 73 The Fallen City
It is not difficult to save these Templars. After finding the keys from those cultists, Fina and Fangzheng quickly opened the shackles of Chaos that bound the Templars. And without the shackles, these Templars looked much better.
"Thank you both for your help."
The leader of the temple warriors nodded respectfully to Fangzheng. Fangzheng had explained his identity to them before, but to Fangzheng's surprise, these temple warriors had heard more or less of their "heroic deeds". "It seems that after the Conan knights came back, they often told them what happened in the Shadow Canyon in the stronghold, so that the attitude of these Templars to him was quite respectful.
Of course, this is also a good thing for the other party, at least he doesn't have to spend much time to gain the other party's trust.
"Don't be too polite. In fact, the reason why I came after me was mainly to find out what these cultists were going to do, besides saving people. Do you have any clues?"
"This…………"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the headed Templar named John showed a somewhat ugly expression on his face.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Fangzheng, we don't know the real purpose of these cultists. They are very tight-lipped along the way, and we can't find any clues at all. The only thing we know is that these cultists intend to bring us into the dark. swamp………"
"Dark Swamp?!"
Hearing this, Fina next to her suddenly cried out, her eyes widened, and she stared at the Templar warrior in surprise.
"you sure?"
"Yes, they said they were taking us to the Dark Swamp..."
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Seeing Fina's pale complexion, Fang Zheng frowned and asked. Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Fina was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
"No, Mr. Fangzheng, maybe I'm thinking too much..."
"Anyway, let's talk about it first. Anyway, it's a clue. I think these cultists took their captives to the Dark Swamp, not for tourism."
"Then...I said..."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Fina hesitated for a while, and finally said in a low voice, gritted her teeth.
"That...if I remember correctly, in the depths of the dark swamp...it was the ruins of that forgotten kingdom...Summer..."
"Somer?!"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng hadn't reacted yet, but the Templar warrior named John's expression changed drastically.
"You mean, these cultists are going to take us to that cursed, corrupt capital?!"
it's that place...
At this time, Fang Zheng finally understood what Fina was talking about.
As I said before, a long time ago, this continent was full of wars, and because a certain country finally sacrificed all its citizens under the threat and opened the door to hell, after that, the whole continent passed through a period of time. The dark period of more than 150 years, that is, after that, the countries on the mainland signed the "Violet Covenant", ending the war.
And that initiator was Summer.
According to the historical records 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 affected by a neighboring country called Kade because of its wealth and superior geographical location. The threat of La's country, which was one of the most powerful countries on the continent at that time, valued Samer's position and wealth, so it sent a large army to launch an invasion of Samer, wanting to completely annex it.
The Summers, on the other hand, are strong, hard and full of blood. Although there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, they are still brave and not afraid of death. But even so, in the end, the entire country was destroyed by Khadra, and their capital, Radiant City, was surrounded by an army. The emperor of Kadra sent an ultimatum to the Samer people, asking them to open the door and surrender within three days, or else the capital would be bloodshed.
Under heavy pressure, the Sammers finally agreed to Emperor Kadra's request, and the city surrendered three days later.
But on the third day, the City of Glory still did not open the city. The angry Emperor Kadra personally led the army to break through the city gate, and then they saw a terrifying scene.
There are corpses all over the city.
The corpses of men, women, children and even babies formed a huge and evil magic circle. Just as Emperor Kadra entered the city, the magic circle was activated.
It ripped apart the entire space, and at the cost of the entire city and the souls of all the unjustly killed people of Summer, it summoned one of the most powerful demon kings in hell - Glatus Drake Babu.
The Dark Legion destroyed the entire Khadran army in an instant. Immediately after they began to spread to the surrounding area, the ruler of Samer signed an agreement with the demon king with the souls of all his subjects, asking them to destroy all countries that had invaded Samer, or ignored them when they encountered war. And Babu happily implemented this agreement. The army of the devil destroyed Kadra and the surrounding countries, and then began to invade every corner of the continent frantically.
For the next hundred and fifty years, the entire continent was plunged into darkness, death, blood and chaos. The twilight legion of the frontier of order is mobilized, and darkness and demons are also raging in the flames of death and evil. Countless nations were destroyed and disappeared into flames.
In the end, under the leadership of the Kingdom of the Holy Cult and the Kingdom of Sorcerers, the remnants of the continent united and launched a desperate counterattack. A group of warriors who were favored by the true gods formed a death squad, and then followed the Hollywood blockbuster routine. They dressed up as evil degenerates and infiltrated the glorious city that had turned into a dark lair, where they burned their souls and summoned the true gods. The power of , completely sealed the space channel and expelled the devil Babu from the main world. The Devil Legion that lost its backup was also weak in succession and was eventually eliminated by the coalition forces.
This battle of darkness lasted one hundred and fifty years, and countless people lost their lives in this battle against the darkness. Not only that, but the most important thing is the invasion of chaos into the world of order. You must know that before that battle, Chaos was far away from this continent, but now, why is the fortress of order built not far from the edge of the dark swamp?
Because the vast territory that originally belonged to Khadra has now become a paradise for Chaos minions!
And the cause of all this is just a big country trying to annex a small country.
That is, after that, everyone finally understood that one should never force a country to a dead end, otherwise... Who knows if it will pull other people on the road together.
"But hasn't it been completely sealed there? I remember that the record said that the goddess of order imposed the seal herself."
"I think so too, but I'm always a little worried... I'm sorry, maybe I'm thinking too much..."
Looking at Fina with a hesitant expression, Fang Zheng didn't understand her thoughts. It was like a police officer went out on a mission to catch a criminal. You said that if you catch a murderer and come back, it's normal for people to be involved in guns and drugs. , understandable. But if you want to catch a criminal and find out that the other party actually intends to release a nuclear bomb to destroy the world, then you will doubt your life for the first time.
This script is unrealistic.
"No matter what, we just need to catch these cultists and interrogate them to find out what they want to do."
Fangzheng waved his hand and was about to say something else when suddenly he remembered Nimf's voice in his ear.
"Master! I detected the energy fluctuation of the mage, and he has returned to the camp!"
"Oh?"
Hearing Nimf's answer, Fang Zheng's eyes lit up.
"Looks like we'll be able to figure out what's going on right away."
