Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1237: Chapter 1236: Time to Play Tower Defense

”Ha... ...”

Lying on the bed, Fang Zheng petted the little kitten in his arms with one hand and swiped the panel in front of him with the other.

In the end, what Fang Zheng obtained from the Goddess of Order was only the truth about his system and this star map. Not only did it contain the exact coordinates of this planet in the main dimension, but it also had the order defense system set up by the Goddess of Order before her death.

After seeing this star map, Fang Zheng realized how powerful the Goddess of Order was.

After discovering this planet, the Goddess of Order centered on the star system this planet is in and established order defense fortress systems in five surrounding star systems. Simply put, this planet was like a yolk, safely wrapped in layers.

Unfortunately, according to the information on the star map, the five-layer defense system outside had basically completely collapsed, and even the last defense system of this planet itself only had 21% of its protective energy left...

”So am I going to play a tower defense game next?”

Fang Zheng sighed helplessly, switching the star map and zooming in on the entire planet again.

On this planet, there were a total of six Order Guardian Devices, one in the Kingdom of the Holy Church, and the others were spread in several other areas with the last two at the poles.

According to the current display on the star map, the one in the Kingdom of the Holy Church was the best preserved, with more than 90% durability, while the durability of the others was below 50%.

The two at the poles had been completely destroyed.

According to the Goddess of Order, these Order Guardian Devices rely entirely on the power of order to sustain them. Once there is no order around or if they suffer physical damage, they would be destroyed.

What Fang Zheng needed to do now was to repair all the Order Guardian Devices on this planet. A protection value of 21% was too low; Fang Zheng really didn’t dare to imagine if it could withstand the next wave of Chaos. At least with 100%, there’s still room for maneuver, isn’t there?

”Beep-beep———!”

While Fang Zheng was deep in thought, he suddenly saw the star map in front of him flicker with a red dot, and then the value of one of the Order Guardian Devices began to drop again.

35%... 34%... 33%...

What’s happening?

Looking at the plummeting values, Fang Zheng was shocked. He hurriedly tapped the star map, looking for the location of the guardian device node. And the star map given by the Goddess of Order was indeed powerful; in the blink of an eye, Fang Zheng quickly found the node where the value was decreasing.

The location of this node was actually at...

”The Dark Region?”

Looking at the map in front of him, Fang Zheng was speechless. But fortunately, at this moment, the node’s value also stopped decreasing, staying at 30%.

But this was obviously not enough.

Frowning, Fang Zheng carefully stared at the Dark Region on the map. If it were on the surface, he could send warships to check it out. But if it were underground, warships would be useless. This meant Fang Zheng had to go himself...

To be honest, Fang Zheng really didn’t like going to the Dark Region. Although he had never been there, the White Tower had plenty of information about it. Whether it’s Dark Elves, Gray Dwarves, or other underground races, none are friendly. In the entire underground world, only the Dwarves and Gnomes are considered friendly, not to mention that the underground world also has channels connecting to Hell; one misstep and you might fall into Hell.

That would be even more troublesome...

Fang Zheng took out Ratziel, wanting to investigate what was going on, but just as he thought, these guardian devices were all built using the divine power of the Goddess of Order. Ratziel obviously couldn’t penetrate the goddess’s power to obtain information.

No choice, time to form a team.

With this in mind, Fang Zheng opened his personal terminal and sent out a message.

”Forming a five-person team for the Dark Region exploration, type 1 to join.”

”One!”

”1111111!!!”

Fang Zheng had just sent the message, and the next moment he saw a bunch of 1s popping up in his group... These little girls were idly lurking in the group, so now they’ve all been drawn out.

Grumbling inwardly, Fang Zheng checked the list, then...

”Little Hei? You just got back, you want to come along? Aren’t you tired?”

”Of course I’m not tired, it’s much more fun following Big Brother.”

”Alright, you’re in.”

Fang Zheng naturally knew what Little Hei meant by ”fun,” but to avoid the little guy saying something inappropriate again, he agreed to Little Hei joining.

Next up was...

”Kurumi? Are you free lately?”

”There’s nothing much happening on Walnut’s side, and I heard the Dark Region is an interesting place, so Walnut and I want to have a look.”

”Hmm... alright.”

With enough DPS, now to add some support—is there any support on hand?

”You’ll do, Homura.”

After finalizing the team, Fang Zheng immediately gave the command.

”Everyone, gather up and prepare to set out!”

With the fleet now, Fang Zheng didn’t have to run around as much as before. He directly brought Little Hei and Homura, then picked up Kurumi and Walnut, and headed to the entrance of the Dark Region. Interestingly, the entrance was a place that filled Fang Zheng with memories.

”It’s really nostalgic here.”

Looking at the lush forest in front of him and the towering mountains not far away, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but sigh.

Yes, this place was none other than the Forest of Life.

Fang Zheng remembered when he brought four girls here for a mission. Well... now everyone is scattered in all directions. By the way, he wondered how Fina was doing. He hadn’t seen her for a long time, maybe it was time to check on her?

And the Elves in the Forest of Life...

”Rustle!”

As Fang Zheng reminisced about the past, suddenly, the leaves ahead shook, and then a figure appeared from within.

”Outsider, who are you? Why have you come to the Forest of... Sir Knight!”

As soon as the words were spoken, Fang Zheng saw two figures leap down from the trees, landing beside him. They had emerald green hair, slender limbs, wore thin clothes, and held longbows in their hands—these Elves were not unfamiliar to Fang Zheng.

”It’s been a long time, Sir Knight.”

”Hello, I remember you two are... that pair of twins, right?”

Looking at the young Elf maidens in front of him, Fang Zheng smiled and waved at them. He remembered seeing these two Elves when he rescued the Elves from the Goblins’ lair. Back then, they were protected by Molly and didn’t fall prey to the Goblins. Now it seemed... they were still quite spirited.

”Yes, Sir Knight! You still remember us!”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s words, the Elf maiden happily nodded and curiously looked at the people around Fang Zheng.

”Is this... another trial?”

”It’s not a trial this time.”

Fang Zheng shook his head, indicating that the twin Elves misunderstood his intent.

”In fact, this time we have an important task in the Dark Region.”

”The Dark Region?”

Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s answer, the expressions of the twin Elves became serious.

”Sir Knight, are you going to the Dark Region?”

”Yes, why?”

Fang Zheng keenly noticed the grim expressions on the twin Elves’ faces.

”Did something happen?”

”Yes... Sir Knight, um...”

Faced with Fang Zheng’s inquiry, the older Elf seemed hesitant, but the younger Elf spoke up immediately.

”Sir Knight, you didn’t know? Recently, the Fallen in the Dark Region have been unusually active. They even attacked our village before! Many sisters were taken away, including Sister Molly!”

”Oh?”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng frowned.

”Is that so?”
