Chapter 902, Why were you singing just now?
Walls, arrow towers, and neatly arranged puppets.
Judging from the overall architecture, it gives people the feeling of a military camp or a sea fortress.
Xiaoxiao shuttled among the puppets and went into the dilapidated buildings on both sides.
Scattered weapons can be seen everywhere in the dusty and dilapidated house, which is covered with mud and moss.
The rest of the items had already rotted and were mixed with mud due to the humid environment.
There was nothing special to find, so Xiaoxiao flew out directly.
He joined up with the two ghosts, Granda and Benny, and headed towards the building in the center behind the puppet.
After entering the hall, the three ghosts paused and looked ahead in surprise.
At the innermost position, there is a stone chair covered with moss. Leaning on the chair is a tall figure wearing rotten armor, who looks like a transformed corpse ghost.
Just when the three ghosts thought it was just a corpse, a figure in front of them suddenly emitted a beam of light as if breathing.
Without waiting for any reaction, the level light column quickly disappeared.
After a few minutes, the beam of light appeared again and disappeared.
Just like breathing.
Benny waved her hand, and the three ghosts bypassed the corpse and went to look at other rooms.
There were a lot of items and weapons stored inside. After confirming that there was no other danger, he turned around and left.
The shared screen ends here.
Wu Heng released Xiao Xiao from his body.
I started thinking about the picture that had just been shared.
The puppet's body shape and armor style are the same as those seen in the ship tomb before, which also proves that both sides come from the same culture.
The puppets stationed in the courtyard are better preserved than those on the ship tomb, and should still be able to move.
What surprised him the most was the body in the hall. It looked like a mummy, with scales on its body torn and hanging in disarray. The weapons beside it were also covered with thick copper rust.
And this body would actually display a level beam of light every few minutes.
Wu Heng was very suspicious of the other party's current condition.
Was this a transformation into a ghoul? Or was it some other way of surviving?
I even doubt whether the other party still has the ability to act.
But it can be confirmed that the brief appearance of the level light column can confirm that the opponent is level 18.
There is not much threat to me.
……
"Chief, the beast trainer found a building ahead, and the ruins are indeed inside." The dwarf elder said excitedly.
The battleship moved forward along the rift without encountering any danger along the way.
The ranger's beast tamer also found the location of the ruins, which made everyone excited.
Wu Heng said, "Inside is a military camp with nearly a hundred puppets stationed there, each with the combat power of a professional at level 12."
The puppet has no level light column, and is judged to be around level 12, which is also the information obtained after the actual combat on the ship tomb.
The puppets here are all of the same style and their combat capabilities are not much different.
When they heard that there were nearly a hundred level 12 puppets, the joy on everyone's faces froze.
"I suspect this is a temporary fortress on the sea. There is an enemy inside and I'm not sure if he is still alive." Wu Heng said, and then repeated the body that sometimes appeared with the level light column inside.
Both elders frowned.
According to previous speculation, this site existed before the Vatican unified the faith.
The puppet was preserved and the stone magic circle can still be used, which is understandable.
It is really hard to understand that there is still a living person inside.
"A corpse ghost?" said the dwarf elder, looking at Wu Heng.
Is it impossible to tell whether a heroic necromancer is a wight or not?
Wu Heng shook his head, "I'm not sure if it's a corpse ghost."
The elf elder thought for a moment and said, "It is also possible that he used some ritual to keep his body intact."
"Doesn't your Hongwen Society have any records on this?" the dwarf elder asked.
The Elf Elder said: "I haven't paid attention to it. I can check it out when I get back."
"Go back, what's the point of checking him out?"
Seeing that the two of them had no clues, Wu Heng waved his hand to signal them to be quiet and said, "No need to argue about this, let's just prepare according to level 18."
ready!
A member of the Hongwen Society said, "Chief, two elders, it's not that I don't believe in our strength, but right now we only have this one ship. If the next battle causes damage to the ship, we're afraid we'll be trapped on the island."
Another person said, "I think that since the underwater formation has been cracked, we should go back and inform the association and come back after making adequate preparations."
As the two of them talked, the rest of the people also fell into discussion.
They believed that with one hero, two elders, and now so many high-level professionals, they would be able to clear out the danger inside in the end.
But what if the ship is damaged?
With so many people, can they still swim back?
The best way is to notify the association and be prepared to come back.
"Shut up, just protect the ship, there's not that much danger." The dwarf turned around and scolded.
But the discussion continued.
Wu Heng glanced at everyone and continued, "Don't worry, even if the ship is damaged, I have the ability to take everyone away."
The discussion quieted down, and the member who had previously proposed the idea of returning also said: "I believe in the leader, I have nothing to say."
"The leader has said so, so I have no objection."
Everyone spoke up one after another.
At this time, the Ranger suddenly said: "There are puppets over there at the ruins, lots of them."
Everyone looked forward.
On the wall, a puppet with copper rust all over its body and holding a long sword appeared, looking over here from afar.
"How did they survive from so far away?"
"Return to your positions. Those below level 12 will form their own teams, and those above level will form one team each." The dwarf elder gave orders loudly.
Philippa sat in the cab, her leather-booted feet resting on the table, biting an apple in her hand, looking at the association members outside who had serious expressions, as if they were facing a great enemy.
He took a big bite of the fruit and said, "Turn the gun around and aim forward."
……
Lopez City, Snake Emblem Consortium.
Letili, the slender and elegant elf leader, looked down at the documents in her hands.
As the year draws to a close, the number of ordinary orders drops dramatically. Both the big powers and some mercenary groups are saving money for the year-end auction.
But it’s much better than last year. Last year, all my indicators were much worse.
It was Wu Heng who came over in a mask and helped him complete the remaining orders and gold reserves.
Thinking of this now, Letili also smiled.
It was as if the gods had sent him down to save him.
Dong dong dong~!
There was a knock on the door.
Letili put away her thoughts and said, "Come in."
The door opened and a staff member walked in. "The association sent a letter for you."
Lei Dili raised her eyebrows, took the letter and said, "Wait at the door for a while, I have a letter to deliver later."
"Yes!" the staff member answered, opened the door and walked out.
When the door closed, Letili couldn't wait to tear open the envelope and read the contents.
His eyes followed the words.
When she saw that the Opera House was willing to be used as the auction venue for the Snake Emblem Consortium, Letili almost shouted out with joy.
A safe island with heroes.
It can reduce the consortium's expenses significantly.
He took a deep breath and looked at the content again. In addition to agreeing to provide the consortium with the venue for the auction, he also asked whether there were any other venue and facility requirements, which could be negotiated.
"That's great!" said Letili.
The handwriting of the letter is quite delicate, and it can be seen that it was written by a woman.
Moreover, the sentences in the text contain punctuation and words that are only found in the north.
It seems that they were brought over from the area north of the Yeko Kingdom.
I heard he likes orc women.
Next time we meet, could I prepare some animal ears or some accessories to tease this young hero?
After thinking randomly for a while, he took out a few letters and started writing.
After writing everything, he said to the door: "Come in!"
The door opened and the previous staff member walked in.
Leitili said, "These letters will be sent to the heads of various financial groups, and this one will be given to the association and sent to Treasure Island."
"Yes!" The staff member took the letter and turned to leave.
……
Treasure Island, Lilith's Mansion.
The butler walked in front, followed by an elf man.
He was wearing leather armor, a hood, a long sword hanging from his waist, and looked exhausted.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Entering the hall, the old butler said, "Miss, Elder Elinor is here to visit you."
The elf man stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Elinor, greetings to the leader."
Lilith glanced at the other person, waved her hand and said, "Sit down."
The other party sat down politely, took out the sealed gift, and said, "I brought you some elven fruit wine. Now is the best time to drink it."
Lilith glanced at the butler, who carefully took it and put it aside.
The elf continued, "The temperature on Treasure Island is slightly higher."
Vampires don't like the sun, and Treasure Island is a place where the days are particularly long. It is hard to imagine why Lilith would be willing to live here.
Lilith said: "It's rainy and windy occasionally, but it doesn't have much of an impact. I'm used to living here, and it actually feels more comfortable."
The elf didn't expect to receive this answer, and raised an eyebrow, "Indeed, it's the same everywhere, just get used to it."
Lilith took a sip of the tea and asked, "What are your plans for coming to the island?"
The elf immediately said, "Chief, I have been appointed as the flag bearer of the Emerald Sea. I just arrived here today."
Flag bearer!
Lilith raised her eyebrows and looked at the other person again.
An 18th-level swordsman of the Elinor elves, he serves as an elder at the association's headquarters.
He is an elf, but also a believer of the Church.
Arrange him to serve as the flag bearer on the island.
"Wu Heng did a good job when he was the flag bearer. Now that you are here, you must also do your job well." Lilith said.
"I understand. I will go to the association later, meet with the local deacon, and then start working." said the elf.
Lilith glanced at him and said more bluntly, "Our headquarters is coordinating the relationship between Wu Heng and the Church. Don't get involved. He is far away from the Church, but I can't stop him from dealing with the people on Treasure Island."
The elves' eyes focused and they understood the meaning.
"I see."
Lilith nodded and continued, "Is there a place to live?"
“I will stay in the association’s dormitory for the next two days, and then check out the prices of houses on the island.”
"Choose a better location, it will be more convenient to live."
"Yes!"
……
The frigate continued forward.
The distant wall was already filled with puppets covered in copper rust.
"Xiaoxiao, Benny, you guys keep keeping an eye on the mummy and notify me if anything happens." Wu Heng said to the side.
"Okay!" A response came from mid-air, and the two ghosts flew out directly.
All the association members were in chaos. They dispersed to find their own places, formed teams, and prepared for the battle.
Philippa's voice came from the intercom, "Um..., Commander Wu Heng, the ship's guns have been adjusted in direction, do you want to fire at them first?"
The frigate is mainly equipped with two weapons.
One is a 127mm naval gun and the other is an air defense close-in weapon system.
The 127mm naval gun has a range of meters, which is enough to meet the current range, and it may even be a bit too close.
Wu Heng glanced at the already adjusted gun barrel and cast a [Summon Arrow Rain] on it.
As they got closer, the association members became more solemn and nervous.
"Now that we have arrived here, we will not retreat any more. Let these pieces of scrap metal see our will."
The dwarf elder shouted loudly to encourage all members.
"That deep cave has forged hope for us."
"The hammer swings and sparks fly, perseverance is our sight."
"Now the battle horn has sounded, and courage is burning in my chest."
Then came the Hunters' war song, and the entire ship, including the members of the Hongwen Society, began to sing along.
Echoing in the broken valley.
After casting the spell, Wu Heng ignored the members who were ready for battle and pressed the intercom, "Philippa, aim more accurately."
"clear."
Boom~!
The deafening roar instantly covered up the singing.
The shells were fired from the muzzle, and with the addition of 'Summon Arrow Rain', they were like shotgun shells, quickly dispersing countless shells.
Before the others could react to what was happening.
Boom~!
The next second, the fortress in the distance seemed to explode, engulfed in flames and explosions, and thick smoke rose straight into the sky.
The stone mountains on both sides began to shake violently.
The rocks rolled down with a loud noise, creating waves, and the frigate swayed slightly.
The singing on the boat stopped, and everyone who had prepared for battle opened their eyes wide and looked at the scene in front of them in horror.
What just happened?
A fortress just disappeared like that?
Then..., what are the preparations we made before?
The dwarf elder patted his still buzzing ears, walked over and asked doubtfully, "Chief, did we do this?"
"Well, to avoid casualties." Wu Heng replied.
It's more than just reducing casualties.
The opposite side was razed to the ground.
The elf elder glanced at the area still covered in thick smoke and raised his eyebrows.
It has become like this, what's the point of studying ancient history?
Philippa's voice came from the intercom, "Why were you singing just now?"
Wu Heng and the elf elder both looked at the dwarf elder, who coughed lightly and pressed the intercom, "I'm just singing for fun."
"Oh!"
……
Inside the fortress in the distance.
Xiaoxiao and Benny were floating in the inner hall.
Staring at the figure in front, the level light beams still appeared rhythmically and disappeared.
An explosion sounded, and dense sand and gravel shot into the building like bullets, crackling and hitting the body sitting on the stone chair.
The shriveled body lost its balance and fell to the ground under the impact of sand and gravel.
Xiaoxiao looked at Benny and pointed at the body, expressing that he would not be killed by the stone.
Benny also shook her head, saying that if she was going to die, she would have died long ago, otherwise she would not have been hit by the stone.
Just as the two ghosts were communicating in sign language.
Suddenly, a body was seen falling to the ground, but the level light column did not disappear.
He stood up shakily.
A crack appeared on the top of the head, and a fleshy body crawled out from it as if shedding skin.
It turned into the image of a middle-aged man with black hair.
The level of the light column was increased again to level 19.
Then, the man suddenly turned his head, an eye appeared between his eyebrows, and he stared at the invisible ghost.
