Chapter 576: Whispers of the Night
A cold turquoise light crept in, and clusters of flames jumped out of the thick fog, illuminating the otherwise dim mist.
Rotten, dilapidated, moss-stained ships emerge from the mist, and behind the crossbar is a white bone statue with outstretched hands, as if to embrace the entire ocean. It was the bow of the immortal man, the song of the banshee.
The waves are still washing the beach, and the sound of the waves that used to be ubiquitous has completely disappeared at some point. The tattered sails bulged up, as if a strong sea breeze was pushing it forward.
Jenn turned his head and looked out into the ocean in the distance. I saw that under the light of the ghost fire, hundreds of ghost ships appeared silently on the other side of the sea level, layer upon layer, as if the source of countless calamities. In the sea breeze, you can even hear the faint cry of the banshee. It is the call of all the unjust souls who have died in the sea, calling the living to their realms to become one of those beings who are forever buried under the cold seabed.
"Ghost Fleet, Klein is still as big as ever."
As he said to himself, Jenn picked up the silver spoon and added two sugar cubes to the teacup. Then he picked up the teacup, held it up to the front, and smiled softly. Then Jenn turned his head and looked to the other side.
"Speaking of which, they're here so quickly thanks to your protection, Lady Goddess."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
As Jenn spoke, I saw that beside him, the originally empty void suddenly began to fluctuate, and then, dark lines emerged, outlining a petite figure wrapped in a black cloak. A strand of long silvery-white hair emerged from the gap in the pitch-black cloak. It shines with a mesmerizing brilliance. Hearing Jenn's inquiry, the Goddess of the Night just tilted her head, and then she turned her gaze to Elise, who was standing beside Jenn. Immediately after, a big "->" appeared out of thin air and pointed at her.
"I don't owe you any favors, Goddess."
Glancing at the goddess of the night in front of her. Jenn shrugged his shoulders, then put down the teacup in his hand.
"So if you want me to stop, don't think about it."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
And hearing Jenn's answer, the goddess of the night didn't show anything, instead, she shook her head slightly.
"You're not here to stop me?"
Seeing the statement of the goddess of the night, Jenn was slightly stunned. In fact, he didn't know what the Goddess of the Night was trying to do here, and to be honest, if it weren't for the dungeon system alerting Jenn to a foreign invasion. He didn't even know that the goddess of the night had descended as a saint. At first, Jenn thought that the goddess of the night was trying to stop her. After all, she has a good relationship with the Nether Princess, and it can be regarded as an alliance. And to find trouble with Klein here is tantamount to hindering the Nether Princess. But on second thought, Jenn also felt that this was unlikely. Although the goddess of the night and the princess of the Nether are allies, the alliance between the gods is not strong. Unless it's a vassal, it's hard for one god to work loyally with another. What's more, as one of the ancient true gods, there is no need for the goddess of the night to come to her own trouble for such a trivial matter when a sage comes down with great fanfare. This was the Nether Princess's plan after all, and the Goddess of the Night came to Jenn to ask him to stop it. It is quite a bit of a meaning that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry.
"And what are you doing with me?"
As he spoke, Jenn motioned to Patilina not to come and look for trouble--the little one was now looking at the goddess of the night, his eyes were shining, and he was ready to move. Still, Jenn hopes that she will focus on an upcoming definite enemy, rather than a target that is uncertain if it is an enemy or not.
The goddess of the night was silent for a moment at Jenn's words, and then she stretched out her right hand and beckoned to Jenn -- naked, jade-white arms emerged from her robes. It looks as delicate and beautiful as a doll. Not only that, but with the movements of the goddess of the night, her robe also flipped up, and even the graceful curves of her body could be faintly seen through the gap in the side. Seeing this scene, Jenn couldn't help but squint his eyes. Let's be honest. In the lower realms, the goddess of the night is a very mysterious deity. No one knows when she attained this godhood, and there are few rumors about her. Even in the context of the Battle of the Sages, there were few rumors about her. The other gods, Jenn, also knew more or less about them, such as whether these gods lived or died, fell or fallen after being forced to descend on the main plane. But the Goddess of the Night has not the slightest rumor of it, and no one even knows whether she has been to the Lord Plane or not. The only thing known is that the goddess of the night always appears in front of people in this form, a girl wrapped in tattered black robes who looks less than ten years old.
To be honest, Jenn once wondered if the goddess was an ancient god, after all, the god of "night" did not need to be conceptualized and formalized, nor did it need any believers to maintain her existence. However, it is rare for an ancient god to be so fascinated by the tenderness. But in any case, from the outside, the goddess of the night is quite attractive. If that chance, then Jenn certainly wouldn't mind having a close encounter. Only a weak race like a mortal would mind the age gap, and after living in the lower realm for so many years, Jenn's biggest gain is that if he uses the mortal concept of age to find a spouse, then I am afraid that he will have to be a father for the rest of his life.
As long as she looks beautiful and closes, it doesn't matter how old she is, let's talk about it first.
But in any case, since the goddess invited, Jenn had no choice but to bow his head and ear to herβthe words of the goddess of the night were always hidden in the night and the breeze, and if you did not listen carefully, you would not be able to hear them at all. Seeing Jenn's movements, the Goddess of the Night smiled softly, then she opened her small mouth and whispered something in Jenn's ear, and then stood up. The next moment, the figure of the goddess of the night was as indifferent as a drop of ink dripping into an inkwell, scattered, and then quietly disappeared.
"Master, what did the little girl say to you?"
It wasn't until the goddess of the night was completely gone that Patilina raised her eyebrows and asked. Hearing Patilina's inquiry, Jenn straightened up, looked thoughtfully ahead, and then smiled.
"It's nothing, alright, Patilina, get ready, we're going to attack. The other party is a guest from afar, and he must not let them go. β
"Of course, master, don't worry about leaving it to me!!"
Hearing Jenn's order, Patilina suddenly became excited, only to see her hands wave, the next moment, the space behind Patilina began to tremble, and then, thousands of huge cannons poked their heads out of the fluctuating space, they let out a rumbling thunderous sound, and began to slowly but unswervingly turn the muzzle of the cannon, aiming towards the sea in front of them.
And almost at the same time, the ghost ships seemed to sense the danger. I saw the ghost ship in the distance silently rowing through the waves like a petrel, and then turned lightly around the hull and aimed at the shore in front of me. The next moment, a series of fires erupted, and then countless cannonballs like meteors were seen burning with green light, and they drew bright tracks in the dark night, rushing towards the shore in front of them.
"Not good!! Get ready to defend!! β
Montgomery was shocked by the whizzing cannonballs, and he hurriedly gave the order, then quickly pushed back. And almost at the same time, I saw those flaming cannonballs slam down on the light curtain of the sacred barrier, and the whistling air exploded in an instant, mixed with the extremely hot heat and flames that spread outward. For a while, everyone only saw the rain of fire falling downward, and even the originally calm sea surface made a "hissing" sound under the scorching wreckage of these shells, and for a while they saw thick smoke rising under the light of the fire, and the whole world seemed to be about to be destroyed. Not only did those ordinary soldiers have serious faces, but even Montgomery and the others had gloomy faces. After all, before this, they had never imagined that the Undead Legion would have such a powerful ghost fleet. Judging from the number alone, these warships are enough to suppress the entire Chaos Coast, can they really be blocked if they continue to fight like this?
Although there was some hesitation in his heart, Montgomery still didn't say much. Instead, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and raised it high.
"In the name of the believers, I humbly pray for the coming of the Great Will. We will eventually overcome darkness and evil and attain the highest glory......... Grant me the power to destroy this evil and ominous thing, my god Amun-La!! β
With Montgomery's roar, I saw the silver pillar of light erected in Eternal Winter City shine more and more dazzling, and in the next moment, I saw the top of this silver-white pillar of light suddenly light up, and then I saw a beam of light roaring forward, sweeping towards the ghost fleet in the distance!
It was a groundbreaking scene, with silver pillars of light sweeping across the sea, and even the waves with the sea spreading out to both sides under invisible pressure. And the heavy clouds and mist that shrouded the sky were also torn open a huge hole in the wild waves of air. The fog that had shrouded the ghost fleet began to melt under the pillar of light as if the first snow met the sun, revealing the true body hidden inside.
And at the same time, under the gaze of everyone, the beam of light shining with divine light hit the ghost ship in front of him. (To be continued.) )
