Chapter 695: Backup Plan
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the prayer hall within the Holy Court headquarters, Victoria City, the regional bishop, Chen Li, had a serious expression on his face.
He had just received the news through a player not long ago.
The team led by the commander of the holy cast knights, Langdon, had encountered the undead-type ghoul in the central vampires’ building.
Chen Li did not understand.
Ghouls were filthy creatures recorded in the Holy Court’s records and they should have existed in the death realm.
For thousands of years, there were almost no traces of the existence of the undead in the Holy Court of this world.
What was even stranger was…
The undead were actually with the vampires?
Why was that?
The enemy of an enemy was a friend?
Chen Li found it hard to understand.
Seeing that the bishop had thought hard for a long time but still had no reaction, Eleanor coughed lightly and said, “Lord Bishop, we need to make a decision immediately.”
After pondering for a while, Chen Li raised his head and looked at the believer who reported, “The ghouls are creatures from the death realm. Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
“Yes, Commander Langdon believes that they have encountered mutated ghouls. They are much stronger than normal ghouls, and they are not affected by the effects of the magic array.”
“Other than that, the number of ghouls hiding in the vampires’ building is still unknown. The team lacks the means to purify the ghouls. If we forcefully break into the vampires’ building, there will be a lot of casualties. For safety reasons, Commander Langdon requests for reinforcements.”
Undead!
Ghouls!
Chu Yan, who was listening from the side, felt uneasy.
He was both excited and uneasy.
He had heard from his subordinates that Fang Shuo had relied on ghouls to destroy the scouting team of the Holy Court.
Now, he had confirmed from the Holy Court that Fang Shuo could control ghouls.
The ability to control a high-tier undead creature…
Chu Yan took a deep breath.
He had already expected Fang Shuo to be very strong, but he had still underestimated him!
Fang Shuo was definitely not someone from a low-tier game world! He came from a higher dimension!
And he had chosen to conceal his identity…
It was very likely that there was a bigger conspiracy against this world.
Chu Yan’s mind was filled with thoughts.
He raised his head and looked at the bishop of the Holy Court, Chen Li.
The Holy Court was in big trouble, and they still did not know who the enemy they were facing was.
The uneasiness in Chen Li’s heart grew stronger and stronger.
He had clearly controlled the magic array to seal the strength of all the vampires in Victoria City. In theory, the entire Victoria City had fallen into his hands.
Why did it feel like everything was slowly slipping out of his control?
Seeing that there was an opportunity, Chu Yan took half a step forward. Following the previous communication with Fang Shuo, he suggested to Chen Li, “Bishop, we learned that the vampires in the other regions did not enter Victoria City through the teleportation passage to provide support.”
“Chu Yan, what are you trying to say?”
Chu Yan said in a deep voice, “Is there a possibility that the ghouls the scouting team encountered in the vampires’ building entered the building from the death realm through the teleportation array of vampires?”
“I think we have to speed up. While there aren’t many ghouls, we have to do our best to take down the vampire’s building in the city centre. The longer we delay, the greater the danger.”
Chen Li frowned and hesitated.
“I’ll go, Bishop.” Eleanor was also full of doubts. She stepped forward, nodded and said, “The ghouls are not difficult to deal with. My team can purify these filthy creatures. It’s most suitable for me to be the reinforcement. In addition, Bishop, the church reinforcements from the surrounding areas are already on the way. For safety reasons, I suggest that they meet up first and then attack the vampires’ building together.”
Chen Li thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “Alright, you go. You must be careful. If possible, think of a way to confirm if the undead is from the death realm. This is very important.”
“Yes, I understand, Bishop.”
“Also, Lord Bishop.” Chu Yan looked at Chen Li, “We have received news that the vampires have always been very concerned about the holy water. Can the holy water cause damage to the ghouls? Or are they very afraid of the holy water?”
“Holy water?” A hint of suspicion flashed across Chen Li’s brows. “The holy water does indeed contain the strength bestowed by God, but there is no record of it being able to affect the ghouls.”
“Lord Bishop, I suggest that we try to use the holy water to deal with them.”
“Yes.” Chen Li nodded. “There isn’t much holy water stored here. Eleanor, bring as much as you can. It might be able to help.”
Seeing that the battle meeting was over, everyone in the hall left one after another.
Chen Li heaved a sigh of relief. He turned on the survival radio and sent a message to his subordinates.
[Chen Li: Immediately inform Fang Shuo that Eleanor, judge of the Holy Court, has brought a large number of people to reinforce the building. For the time being, Commander Langdon will not launch an attack on the building. Also, I heard that the Holy Court headquarters only has a small amount of holy water. Eleanor has already brought most of the holy water there.]
[Chen Li: Also, some members of the Holy Court are already on their way. They will head directly to the central vampires’ building to meet up. Be prepared. When that time comes, there will be more and more members of the Holy Court on the other side of the building.]
…
“Therefore, it is troublesome to deal with such an intelligent enemy.”
Inside the building, seeing that Langdon and the other members of the Holy Court were still positioned outside the building and did not choose to attack it, Fang Heng was a little disappointed and took back his binoculars.
He thought to himself, “This is troublesome.”
If the enemy was a zombie, he would be able to control the Lickers to farm evolution crystals and level up happily.
If it was the Holy Court, they would still choose to wait at the door and wait for reinforcements.
It was indeed troublesome to deal with an intelligent enemy.
It seemed that the Holy Court was not going to continue attacking for the time being.
“In that case…”
They could only carry out backup plan No. 2.
Fang Heng looked at Liu Maoxue who was beside him.
Liu Maoxue had been communicating with the team through the survival radio. He suddenly raised his head.
“Boss Fang Shuo, I just received news from my boss. I have confirmed that Commander Langdon is not going to take the risk to attack the building. The judge of the Holy Court, Eleanor, is coming with a large number of reinforcements. They are going to gather and attack the building together.”
As he spoke, Liu Maoxue took out the survival radio and showed the news to Fang Heng.
Fang Heng looked at the content, nodded, and asked, “Then how long will it take for all the explosives to be in place?”
Explosives?!
They actually possessed explosives?
Zhao Nan, who was listening by the side, was shaken by this.
Why did they need explosives?!
Could it be that he…
Was trying to blow up the entire building?!
Liu Maoxue also quivered when he heard that. He lowered his head to check the survival radio again and replied, “The first batch of explosives has been delivered to the storage point. The next few batches are already on their way. It will take some time. The explosives are also an item controlled by the vampires. The Holy Court can’t get too many of them.”
“Okay.”
Fang Heng expressed his understanding.
It was normal for them to not be able to gather all the explosives at once.
This was what the Vampire Apocalypse was like. Guns and gunpowder were controlled items. The vampires detested using them and forbade humans who were kept in captivity from using them.
