Chapter 1233 - Battle of Fort West (2/2)

The glowing protective runes on the white wall of Fort West, energized by the Light of Order, had formed a translucent energy shield on the wall. The monster of Chaos monsters lunged at the wall like a moth to a flame, ripping with their claws, biting with their fangs, striking with their primitive and violent dark magic before crashing into the energy shield on the wall and exploded in a dark fireball. The dark fireballs rose in every section of the wall, the shockwave from the explosions was shaking the physical wall, causing debris and dust to fall off the wall as if the out wall was spewing smoke when looking from afar.

The scene was the most horrible event in the world of Collow as evil forces crouching in Chaos were pounding and shaking the wall of the World of Order.

In the past seven years, and during every tide of Chaos in the past 100 centuries in Collow, battles of this kind had been repeating countless times. The Light of Order might have stopped the Chaos every time, but the Chaos had its unique way of attack. The monsters born from the law of the distortion were the cannon fodders and vanguards of war. They marched and attacked the World of Order violently. If they brought down a barrier, then the land of Order would recede to their next line of defense and the space the mortals lived would shrink again.

As far as Veronica knew, in Ansu continent alone, humans and elves had lost more than 40% of their land—the once fertile wilderness, peaceful Shadowy Forest, grassy Dark Morass, and the beautiful Gray Sea. With the extinguishing of the Furnace Tower, the Spire of Flames, and even the Sunscorch Tower, barriers began to fall, and defenses started to retreat; the mortal race traded space for time. These originally serene and peaceful lands had become a death zone of the Chaos. The scene before their eyes was the cause of all these.

The Chaos had struck.

Veronica gripped the sword in her hand and made a gesture with the other to signal the knights to prepare for battle.

On the front line where the Chaos was attacking, the power of the Order would weaken. The dark side of the Sea of Carnos would become active to the point where it could form into physical form at any time. Even if the knights hid outside the battlefield, the evil forces would soon sniff them out. Therefore, fighting was inevitable.

Cowardice and runaway were meaningless. Whether one dared to draw a sword, the battle was the only way.

As the knights unsheathed their swords, the power of magic began to stir the surrounding air. On the royal armor, the runes glowed and illuminated the brave faces of the young soldiers.

In Collow, the advance of the tide of Chaos meant the retreating and dying of the mortal race. The dark side of Carnos spurted out from all corners of the continent, and then swallowed everything along the way. But the human race kept fighting. Looking at the wasteland in the surroundings, Hao Ren already knew the outcome. The power of the Order was weakening, and the mortal race was only using their bodies as a wall to resist the advance of the Chaos. But all they did was delaying the inevitable.

They would fight and retreat, hoping the Chaos would dissipate, and the Sea of Carnos would calm down.

No one ever felt this was wrong as their ancestors had been through it this way. If there was any complaint, it would probably be just complaints about why they were born during the surge of the Chaos, and not as lucky as those living in the peaceful era.

“Are you going down there with only this number of people?” Hao Ren turned his head and glanced at Veronica.

The knight princess pointed down to the battlefield with her sword. “Take the ramp on the left and flank the monsters. If you could use your magic explosives to delay the energy of Chaos from transforming into physical bodies, we would be able to open a breach. I will first send a signal to the fortress, as long as the fortress defense troops have the most basic military literacy, we would be able to pull this off. I will enter the safe zone and disrupt the direction of the flow of the chaotic power.”

Hao Ren had no idea what Veronica meant by ‘the direction of flow of the chaotic power,’ he believed that Veronica was an expert in this field, so he agreed to the plan. “Are you not afraid?” he asked curiously.

“Almost all cowards have died in the past seven years,” Veronica said with a smile and raised her sword. “The wall will eventually fall, but not today!”

The knights roared in unison, “The wall will eventually fall, but not today!”
