Fang Zheng arrived at Northern Fortress with several girls and presented the Holy Temple’s order for joint operations against the Demon Beasts. As Wells briefed him on the fortress’s defenses, a report warned that the next attack would include lord-class Demon Beasts.

• Wells spotted Fang Zheng’s unusual vehicle approaching the fortress and verified the Holy Temple’s order for joint operations.

• Fang Zheng examined Wells’s map and questioned whether Northern Fortress could hold the beast tide after abandoning its first line of defense.
• A soldier reported that the Demon Beasts had gathered for another attack and that lord-class creatures were among them, alarming Wells.

Fang Zheng rejected Wells's plan to abandon the first line of defense and went there with Tina and the others to hold it. When a lord-class Demon Beast broke through the barrier and wall, Fang Zheng assigned the others to stop the advancing monsters and prepared to face the beast himself.

• Wells ordered the soldiers at the first line of defense to withdraw because the fortress lacked enough manpower.
• Fang Zheng argued that abandoning the narrow first line would let more Demon Beasts enter the Land of Order, then accepted Wells's ten-minute deadline to hold it.

• The Demon Beast's beam broke through the barrier and collapsed part of the wall, allowing the monsters to surge through the breach.
• Fang Zheng told Xia Shi, Tina, Cui, and Enju to stop the monsters while he went to fight the lord-class Demon Beast.

• Xia Shi raised a Psionic Barrier to block the mass of Chaos Monsters attacking the breach.

Xia Shi, Fuse, Tina, and the other girls fought off Chaos Demon Beasts while a strange golden device opened a portal near the gap. Tina destroyed the attacking Magic Ravens and wondered whether Brother Fang Zheng was safe.

• Xia Shi, Fuse, and the other girls held back the Demon Beasts with wind and sword attacks as the Paladins and mage watched in surprise.
• A metallic device opened a small black hole, and the mage recognized it as a Teleportation Device and urged the Paladin to protect it.
• Thousands of Magic Ravens swooped toward the device, but Tina set the flock ablaze with a scarlet round.
• The Magic Ravens split between Probe and Tina, and Tina used her Dragoon launchers to cut one group apart with beams of light.
• Tina fired another shot at the remaining monsters, then looked into the distance and wondered whether Brother Fang Zheng was all right.

Fang Zheng used his power to destroy the Chaos Monsters threatening the Northern Fortress, giving the defenders a chance to repair their line. As more enemies arrived, reinforcements prepared to fight, and the twin-tailed girl revealed that her companions were nearby.

• Fang Zheng saw that the fortress defenders lacked enough manpower to reinforce the breach, while Xia Shi and Cui held back the Chaos Monsters pouring through it.
• Fang Zheng unleashed his Second Sword, engulfing the battlefield in lightning and reducing the Chaos Monsters to ash, but the Demon Beast Lord struck him with a beam before he reappeared on the wall.
• Knight Commander Wells recognized Fang Zheng as a Legendary powerhouse and sent a signal for Paladins to reinforce and repair the defensive line.
• More Chaos Monsters and the Demon Beast Lord advanced, so a squad Captain rallied the defenders to hold their position until reinforcements arrived.
• A wounded Paladin insisted on returning to battle, but the twin-tailed girl told him to rely on her and her companions, then pointed beside him.

A Crystal Tower restored the Power of Order around the Northern Fortress as Fang Zheng’s forces arrived to stop the Chaos Monsters. The Azure Fleet and the Cursed Children routed the attacking beasts, leaving the defenders stunned as the battle quickly turned in their favor.

• The Crystal Tower emerged from a shrinking black hole and drove back the Chaos aura, restoring the Power of Order around the fortress.
• The guard Captain ordered the Paladins to protect the tower as the Demon Beasts accelerated toward it.
• Girls carrying strange weapons appeared on the walls, while a colossal metal warship appeared above the fortress and shocked Wells.
• Fang Zheng deployed five ships from the Azure Fleet and ordered them to open fire on the Chaos Monsters.
• The Azure Fleet’s bombardment and the Cursed Children’s plasma rifles crushed the attacking beasts, leaving the Paladins and mages expecting the battle to end soon.

Fang Zheng and his reinforcements quickly repelled the Chaos Monsters, then he reassured Knight Commander Wells about the children who had fought beside them. Fang Zheng proposed that the Holy Temple forces and the children cooperate while they investigated the source of the abnormal attacks.

• Fang Zheng’s forces drove back the Chaos Monsters in under ten minutes, and the Demonic Beast Lord fled after Iona’s flagship cannon barrage.
• Rear reinforcements took over the walls while the wounded were carried to safety, with Fang Zheng’s children helping transport them.

• Fang Zheng proposed that Paladins and Spellcasters provide support while the children attacked from range, and Wells accepted the arrangement.
• Fang Zheng told Wells they needed to find and destroy the source of the Chaos Monsters’ abnormal attack.

Fang Zheng investigated why the Demon Beasts continued attacking Northern Fortress long after winter and found that scouts had sent back cryptic warnings tied to the Holy Temple’s scriptures. Rereading the scriptures, he suspected their account of the Goddess’s arrival described a powerful vessel like his Hell Angel Class battleship.

• Knight Commander Wells told Fang Zheng that the Demon Beasts had kept besieging Northern Fortress through spring and summer, and Bishop Karl wanted him to investigate the uprising in the lands of Chaos.
• Knight Commander Wells showed Fang Zheng a scout report mentioning underground light, shaking earth, and the wrath of the gods, then connected it to a passage in the Holy Temple’s scriptures.
• Fang Zheng read the scripture passage about the Goddess’s arrival, the earth splitting, and holy beams descending, and asked to examine the volume.
• Fang Zheng reread the scriptures and concluded that the Goddess seemed like an outsider who had arrived from the sky and brought order to the continent.
• Fang Zheng compared the scriptures’ description of the Goddess’s golden mount to his Hell Angel Class battleship and wondered whether the account referred to a vessel like it.

Fang Zheng suspected the Goddess of Order was technology from an advanced civilization and proposed reclaiming land corrupted by Chaos. He left Knight Commander Wells with a question about tower defense games.

• Fang Zheng told Nymph that the Goddess of Order might have come from another planet, and they discussed whether the scripture described a device beneath the Earth's crust.
• Fang Zheng said he would not risk sending scouts into the Chaos region and considered how to confront the unusual Demon Beast movements.
• Fang Zheng proposed advancing from Northern Fortress and building Crystal Towers to expand Order and reclaim land from Chaos.
• Knight Commander Wells worried about the risks and manpower needed for a longer battle line, and Fang Zheng asked whether he had ever played a tower defense game.

Fang Zheng organized a joint campaign with Northern Fortress and the Holy Temple to reclaim the Northern Lands, using Sea Fog bombardment, Cursed Children, and Photon Turrets. The forces advanced smoothly until Iona detected a large lifeform.

• Fang Zheng proposed advancing behind the fleet and Cursed Children while Probe built Crystal Towers and Photon Turrets along the cleared route.
• Knight Commander Wells supplied most of Northern Fortress's Spirit Crystals, and Bishop Karl arrived to coordinate the Holy Temple's support.
• Fang Zheng, Wells, and Karl divided the operation's responsibilities, with Wells leading the fortress troops and Karl managing logistics at Northern Fortress.
• The Sea Fog fleet and Cursed Children destroyed swarms of Demon Beasts, including a charging mid-tier Demon Beast, while the Paladins watched.
• Iona detected a large lifeform, and Fang Zheng recognized that a major threat had appeared.

Fang Zheng’s fleet fought a Demonic Beast Lord and its poisonous moth swarm, discovering that the Lord’s Chaos Field shielded it from most attacks. He ordered Terror and Darkness to join Rodney in bringing it down.

• Iona detected poisonous venom moths approaching, and Fang Zheng ordered Wells to withdraw the ground forces while Rodney led the attack.
• Rodney charged into the swarm and used three-dimensional bombs to destroy most of it, revealing the enormous Moth Lord.
• Rodney’s weapons severely wounded the Moth Lord, but Fang Zheng learned that its shield field absorbed about four-fifths of the bombardment.
• Fang Zheng ordered Terror and Darkness to fire at full power and help Rodney defeat the Moth Lord.

Knight Commander Wells watched Fang Zheng’s warships destroy the Moth Lord, then spoke with an owl-type Adjuster during the night watch. The girl spotted a monster that had died before it could reach them, and Wells went to investigate.

• Fang Zheng’s warships battered the Moth Lord until it fell, then destroyed it with a final blast.
• Fang Zheng’s forces secured their camp with Crystal Towers and Photon Turrets, and most of the troops rested after nightfall.
• Wells walked through the barren chaos zone and met a blonde owl-type Adjuster keeping watch.
• The girl told Wells that she and the other Cursed Children were accustomed to fighting monsters and trusted Fang Zheng to protect them.
• The girl saw a monster fly toward the camp and die before she could fire, so Wells went to investigate with her.

Tina found a Magic Raven corpse with strange triangular wounds, and Fang Zheng discovered that it bore no trace of Chaos despite having been corrupted. The group suspected that something had purified the creature before it died, and Fang Zheng ordered Tina to scan the area ahead.

• Tina found a Magic Raven corpse covered in triangular wounds and reported it to Fang Zheng through the Swarm network.
• Fang Zheng arrived with Nymph, whose scan showed scorching and faint radiation around the wounds, suggesting an energy attack.
• Wells used Holy Light on the corpse and found no trace of Chaos within it.
• Wells explained that Chaos remained in Demon Beast corpses after death and that the Magic Raven's lack of Chaos was inexplicable by the Holy Temple's methods.
• Tina confirmed the wounded Magic Raven had still been flying when she first saw it, and Fang Zheng ordered her to activate the detector and scan ahead.

Fang Zheng and his companions discovered that an unknown entity had killed the Chaos Monsters, then found the missing paladin Fino alive in a cave. Javelin reached him, but Fino attacked her, so she restrained him and Fang Zheng ordered her to bring him back.

• Tina's detectors found numerous Chaos Monster corpses bearing identical triangular wounds, indicating that a single entity had killed them.
• Fang Zheng spotted a human life signal, and the detectors revealed the wounded paladin Fino hiding in a cave.
• Wells recognized Fino and asked to lead a rescue, but Fang Zheng sent Javelin instead because the wilderness was dangerous.
• Javelin found Fino, who suddenly attacked her with his longsword.
• Javelin blocked the blow with her Klein Field and trapped Fino in barriers; Fang Zheng told her to bring him back.

Fang Zheng read the corrupted scout Fino’s march log and learned that the team had followed a being they believed was the Goddess’s Guardian. He decided to search for the Guardian, which might be driving the Northern Lands’ Demon Beasts into a frenzy.

• Javelin brought the Chaos-corrupted Fino back to camp, where Wells’s priests used Divine Arts to calm him and put him to sleep.
• Wells explained that Fino would be sent to the Holy Temple and gave Fang Zheng the scout team’s march log.
• Fang Zheng read how the scouts had tracked Chaos Demonic Beasts and found the corpses of a Demonic Beast Lord before encountering an enormous being they called the Goddess’s Guardian.
• The log showed that the scouts believed the Guardian was leading them to the Goddess, but Chaos had left the writer unable to think clearly.
• Fang Zheng concluded that the Guardian might be responsible for the Northern Lands’ berserk Demon Beasts and decided to look for it.

Fang Zheng and Wells investigated reports of a Goddess's Guardian while Neptune searched for traces of the giant and discovered an underground ruin. Wells revealed that the area had once belonged to the advanced Kadra Empire, which claimed its power came from the Goddess's blessing.

• Fang Zheng continued expanding Order's territory and reasoned that the Chaos Monsters had fled from a Guardian that attacked them.
• Nymph introduced Neptune, who scanned the area and found an artificial underground facility beneath a collapsed opening.
• Neptune traced the giant's movements and estimated it was about eighty meters tall and two thousand tons.
• Fang Zheng decided to investigate the underground facility and asked Wells for information about the region.
• Wells explained that the site had once belonged to the technologically advanced Kadra Empire, which claimed the Goddess had blessed its power and rule.

Fang Zheng learned how the Kadra Empire’s advanced technology may have come from a Goddess’s hidden equipment, then led a small group into the underground ruins to investigate. As Javelin emerged from the smooth, angled passage, the underground world appeared before them.

• Wells explained that Kadra’s technology had advanced the continent and suggested its claim of the Goddess’s blessing might have come from discovering her equipment.
• Two days later, Wells sent Fina to join Fang Zheng at the enormous underground entrance.
• Fang Zheng chose Nymph, Fina, Javelin, and Iona to accompany him into the ruins aboard Javelin’s Stealth Bomber.
• Fina said the Holy Temple was considering building metal Magic Battleships after seeing Fang Zheng’s technology.
• Fang Zheng noticed the passage had been bored at a precise forty-five-degree angle with walls smooth enough to suggest it had been pierced by a beam.
• Javelin passed through the passage, and the lights revealed the underground world.
