Chapter 64 Sea Base
"So she doesn't remember anything?" I asked Ling.
"I think so!"
"It's really bad!" It seems that unless the people who participated in the massacre are found, they will never know what happened.
Ling looked at Xiaoxiao. "So this is...?"
"She is the real executor of this mission. Originally, this mist mission seemed to be prepared for her, but we seemed to have stepped in first."
Xiaoxiao looked at Ling and hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your girlfriend?"
"Huh?" I looked at Xiaoxiao in surprise.
Lingxiao's flower branches trembled wildly. "What a cute little sister."
Xiaoxiao said angrily: "You don't seem to be as old as me?"
I interrupted the meaningless argument: "Ling." Ling immediately stood respectfully behind me and stopped talking. I said to Xiaoxiao: "She is my magic pet, not a player."
Xiaoxiao stared at Ling in surprise for a while before saying, "What a great intelligence! I thought he was a player!"
I changed the topic and said, "I just said there are conditions for letting you go. What I want is for you to join our guild?"
"Join you?" Xiaoxiao seemed a little embarrassed. "Sorry, I already have a guild, so...!"
"It seems like you're not very good at lying!"
"ah?"
"You don't have a guild badge on your chest." I pointed out the reason for her exposure.
"I...I didn't bring it with me. I put it in the warehouse."
"Haha!" Ling behind me laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Xiaoxiao became even more angry.
I explained to Ling: "She laughed at you for not being able to tell lies. Next time you lie, remember not to talk about areas you don't understand. Guild badges can only be removed by the president and a few senior guild officials. Ordinary members cannot take it off by themselves. In addition, even if you take off the badge, you still have to keep it on your body. The existence of a warehouse is a typical loophole."
"I……!"
"Don't be nervous. Our bank has never forced you to join the club. I just think your skills are very good, so I want to get you to join the club. This is just an invitation, you can refuse it. However, I state in advance that our bank will treat everyone Only give me one chance, if you don’t join now, you will never join again.”
"I still refuse." Xiao Xiao replied firmly.
I'm slightly disappointed. "Okay then! I respect your choice." I took out my eternity and put it on her neck.
Xiao Xiao looked at me in panic. "You...what are you doing?"
"Can't you see this? I'll kill you!"
"Didn't you promise to let me go?"
"What I'm talking about is that there are corresponding exchange conditions for releasing you. It's just a one-to-one deal. I just proposed the exchange conditions, but you refused. So, the transaction failed. Then the promise we just made is invalid. That promise The prerequisite is that you meet my request, and now that the request has been rejected, of course I can no longer do what I promised."
"But I just sold you three Five Soul Beads, and we talked for so long, could it be...?"
"Buying and selling Five Soul Beads is better than trading. I'll give you the money you want, and I don't owe you anything. As for talking, isn't this enough of a reason? On the battlefield, both sides also need to talk before starting a fight."
"But……!"
"There's nothing more to say. The deal failed. There's nothing to say."
"Wait a minute." Xiaoxiao said in panic, "Can't I join you?"
"The Frost Rose Alliance does not want traitors. The person who was forced to give in by the situation is no longer the person I need. You are no longer up to the standard of our guild. If you want me not to kill you, you can pay You can redeem yourself with some funds, but I don’t think you can afford that much, and in this game the dead can be resurrected, so if you have so much money, it’s not as cost-effective as hiring someone as a training partner.”
"you……!"
"Sorry, see you later." I shook my left hand at her to say goodbye, and at the same time, I exerted a little force on my right hand. The sharp blade of eternity brought out a fountain of blood. Xiaoxiao fell softly to the ground and twitched for a few times before becoming motionless.
"Master? Why?" Ling asked me, looking at the corpse on the ground.
"You're going to intercept the Japanese fleet at night. You don't want to take her with you, do you? Besides, this...!" I looked at the Necromancer mm. "You don't have a name yet, do you?"
Necromancer mm nodded. I thought for a moment and said, "Just call me Wu. This is your new name."
"Thank you, Master, for the name." Wu bowed to me.
"There is no need to be so polite." After lifting the fog, I continued to say to Ling: "The fog should also be related to an undead fleet. This is a very valuable thing. If it can be used, it will bring us huge benefits in the future. I She didn't want anyone outside the guild to know about this. If she had just joined, she would be an insider of the guild, so it didn't matter if she knew. But she refused. Then she couldn't let her know too much. At present, she only knows that there is such a fleet , but don’t know anything else, it’s easier to kill her as soon as possible, do you understand?”
"Yes, Ling understands." Ling nodded. "Master, you are so cruel, you can do this to such a lovely sister."
"When did the Lord of Darkness become so compassionate?"
"Me?" Ling pointed at himself. "Probably after meeting the master!"
"It seems you understand me better." I stroked Ling's long hair. "I really want to take you out of here like luck."
Ling's eyes changed obviously when he heard my words, but he quickly returned to normal. I realized there was something secret that Ling wasn't telling me, but I didn't want to ask. This is my principle of doing things. Don’t ask about the people you are close to. If you cannot fully share the other person’s life, then don’t ask about each other’s little secrets. The other person will definitely say what you need to say, otherwise they won’t be your close ones.
"Master." Wu looked at me.
"whats the matter?"
"I seem to remember that there are some forces worth seeing nearby. Master, do you want to go and see them now?"
"A power worth seeing? Could it be a 'confused' fleet? I really want to see it, but these fogs...?"
The fog replied: "This is the fog gathered by sleeping souls. If the master doesn't need it, we can reduce the area to only cover this ship. Do you need to remove it?"
"Can you orient yourself in the fog?"
"We know everything about the fog, including the direction."
"Then don't clear the fog, it's safer."
"Yes, I will wake up the sleeping soldiers immediately and ask the master's fleet to follow us."
"You know we have a fleet out there?"
"I said, everything in the fog is within the range of my feelings."
"I understand, hurry up!"
"yes."
The fog went to summon the massacred dead below, and the corpses began to pretend to be corpses collectively. They climbed up one after another from the entrance of the cave, and then walked up to the upper level. There seems to be some difference between these resurrected undead and Essinger's. Their eyes are dull, their pupils have no focus, and they walk like zombies. Although they are very fast, they are very awkward. In short, they are lifeless. The eyes of Essinger's undead are flashing with red flames, which look much more comfortable than the eyes of these dead fish.
While the fog was summoning my companions, I quickly contacted Lin Yue above. "Lin Yue, where are you?"
"I'm blocking the exit on the upper deck. How are you down below?"
"It's settled here. You should immediately tell Hongyue to send some small and medium-sized warships with poor combat effectiveness to take away all the Koreans. I can't contact her through my private message, and she may be out of range. By the way, don't forget Tow their ships away and send them back to South Korea. After the mission is completed, let those warships return directly to Isengard."
"But this fog..."
"Don't worry about it, just execute it."
"All right."
Hongyue immediately started organizing a fleet after knowing my order. Park Yin didn't know why we suddenly drove people away, but we had already sent a ship to send them away, and they couldn't say anything. When the fleet was ready, a passage suddenly opened in the fog leading outside. This is of course the channel I let the fog open. Anyway, she seems to be able to manipulate these fogs at will. The submarine squadron immediately followed the passage and left the foggy area. The compass immediately resumed work after leaving the foggy area, and the warships adjusted their direction and sailed towards South Korea.
Of course the reason for sending the Koreans away was to keep it secret, and it was the same reason as killing Xiaoxiao. The reason I didn't send Xiaoxiao away was because she wasn't worthy of my sending a ship alone, and I was afraid that she would guess something if she was put with the Koreans, so it would be easier to just kill her to save the city.
When the fleet that sent the Koreans away moved away, the fog closed again, but in order to allow the warships behind to keep up with us and not fall behind, I let the fog reduce the density of the fog. At the same time, the trapped Americans were also released. Got out. We don't have time to tangle with them now, and it's obviously unwise to move with them.
When all the tens of thousands of undead in the bottom cabin got up, the fog also left the bottom cabin. She stood on the bow of the dilapidated Treasure, and the dilapidated battleship began to move at high speed. This guy has no power at all. The only sail is like a fish, but it can sail at a very high speed.
The Tyrant and other battleships followed the Treasure and I stayed on the Treasure to facilitate my command.
The fleet was at full speed and sailed at lightning speed for more than an hour before finally arriving at its destination. The fog followed us from beginning to end. Others would definitely be scared to see such a large mass of fog moving at this speed on the sea, but this is the South Pacific, and the possibility of being discovered is very small.
The so-called destination is actually a small island. The fog manipulated the fog to arrange a large-scale shielding barrier on the periphery of the island, but she completely hollowed out the central area, which made it easier for us to move and prevent the heavy fog from blocking our sight.
Without the obstruction of fog, the island is completely displayed in front of us. From the outside, it seems to be made entirely of rocks, with cliffs all around and no flat areas like beaches at all. The area of the island is two to three times the area of Essinger. As an island, this is really not that big. Wu said to me: "This is Treasure Island, where pirates store their treasures."
"What? Is there treasure on it?" My eyes flashed with green light.
"There used to be a lot of treasures here. When the Temple of Light attacked us, they looted all the treasures. Now there is not even a copper plate here." Wu answered affirmatively.
My enthusiasm immediately cooled down and the green light in my eyes disappeared. "Damn the Temple of Light, I'm not done with you!" This is true. Of course, it's not to sympathize with Wu's experience, but because the Temple of Light has looted all the treasures. At least leave some for me!
Wu continued: "Now please let the warships behind us move closer and form a column. There are reefs everywhere here. Let the warships behind us follow our route closely, otherwise it will be very dangerous."
I immediately notified the warships behind me, and they immediately began to adjust their formation. It took a while for everyone to cross the reef area. Although Treasure was leading the way, three battleships still hit the reef. Fortunately, they were slow and only made some small craters. After approaching the island, Wu took everyone along the edge of the island for a while, and a cave appeared on the cliff on the shore. After the Treasure sailed in, the battleships behind it also followed.
We should be really lucky that King Chuang and the others removed the mast of the battleship. Although the hole is very wide, it is not high. The top of the Tyrant's highest flagpole is less than 5 meters away from the top of the cave. If the tide is high, we may not be able to enter!
When we passed through the cave, we were all dumbfounded by the sight in front of us. A huge lake actually appeared in front of us. To be precise, this shouldn't be considered a lake. After all, it is connected to the sea. This island has obviously been used for a long time, the island has been artificially transformed, and it is obviously a large military port. The entire island is a naval base, and it cannot be completely natural. The periphery of the island is a densely distributed group of reefs. The coast without beaches is a vertical cliff with a height of 100 meters, and there are holes in the cliff. Why would a military port need these things?
After passing through these holes, the lake inside becomes even more exaggerated. There is an island in the middle of the lake. The shape of the island in the middle of the lake is actually the kind of symbol used by Germany during World War II, an inverted swastika. There are many stone facilities on this reverse swastika-shaped island in the middle of the lake. It seems that the entire island in the middle of the lake is just a super large dock. Essinger's super military port cannot compare with this.
The cliffs on the periphery of the island seem to be only one kilometer thick. The lakeshore here is different from the outside. Here is a very flat deep-water dock where warships can easily dock. There are some towering stone platforms on the pier. The specific function is unclear, but the small stalagmites are easy to identify. They are boat piles used to tie cables to fix ships.
After the entire fleet entered the port, they each found a place to dock. There were less than 200 warships in such a large port, which was very spacious, not to mention that even berths were prepared here. Hongyue found me after getting off the boat: "Ziri, this is like a naval base!"
"I can see it."
Wu came over and said: "Master, this used to be the base of pirates. It used to be very prosperous, but it became like this after being looted."
Hongyue asked: "Is this your new magic pet?"
"No. She seems to be a contracted creature, just like Vader. She does not occupy any position as a familiar or demon servant. However, her situation does not seem to be exactly the same as Vader's."
"She obeys your orders anyway, right?"
"That's right."
"That's enough. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it can be used. Speaking of which, what do you think about converting this place into a Qianhai base?"
"Here?" I looked around. "Is it a little far away?"
"That makes sense! This island is right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It is almost the same distance from the United States and China. Wouldn't it be great to use this as a springboard?"
"You mean like Midway?"
"right."
Hongyue's strategic vision is quite good. It’s no shame to have such a good base, and it’s in a really great location. "What about supplies?"
"Isn't there a transnational teleportation array? As long as we have a city in a country, we can build a transnational teleportation array. Tianyu City covers four countries: Germany, Switzerland, France, and Italy, but there is only one transnational teleportation array. So we still have There are three more free places, what do you think about putting one here?"
"Yes. It is indeed feasible." I pointed to the surrounding cliffs: "Build large forts in those places, turn it into a city, and then erect the city with a protective cover. This will be a maritime fortress. With this as the center, Can control maritime traffic throughout the Pacific."
"Are you two thinking too wonderfully?" King Chuang suddenly poured cold water on us.
"What do you mean?" Hongyue said angrily.
King Chuang said unhurriedly: "Isn't it Mo Yu's problem? How can we build a teleportation array without that thing? The Mo Yu needed by the two cities in South Korea and Japan in the plan has not yet been solved, so here is another one!"
faint! Forget this! This place is too far from the land, and it is unrealistic to rely on shipping for supplies. Without a teleportation array, everything is out of the question.
"Anyway, you are going to the United States to find black jade. You can find one piece and two pieces. This can be solved sooner or later. Let's settle this place first. At worst, we can make a plan first and divide it into a first-phase project and a second-phase project. Ai Didn't Singer build it with hammers and hammers here and there?" Hong Yue was very confident in me.
"No matter what, it is necessary to survey first." I asked other players on the boat to check various parts of the island, while I was responsible for the middle island area in the middle of the lake.
To be honest, the design here is quite creative. The swastika-shaped island in the middle of the lake creates more berthing spaces in a limited space. It can be said that this maximizes the use of space. Those high stone platforms on the pier are also a strange thing. Wu's memory is very fragmented. She can't remember what these high platforms are for. We can only study it ourselves. Finally, King Chuang found a hole under the protruding part of the stone platform. After repeated confirmation, we believed that this place was originally equipped with a pulley. In other words, this tall stone platform like the Leaning Tower of Pisa is actually a crane, which can be regarded as an early crane, but it has a fixed angle. If you just simply load and unload cargo to the ship, these things are enough to complete the task.
Soon after, the players who went out to investigate also came back. First of all, everyone confirmed that this is an approximately elliptical island. In addition, the cliffs on the periphery of the island are basically solid except for passages cut out in some places, so they are very solid. The top of the cliff is flat, and there are stairs on it, but it has been so long that it is almost invisible. A fort with a bunker was also found on the cliff, but nothing similar to artillery was found. However, according to the remaining traces, it seems that the wooden structure equipment was originally installed there, and it has been completely rotten for too long. We analyzed that the trebuchet was originally installed there, so there should have been artillery earlier, and the cannon could not have been made entirely of wood. Even if it corrodes badly over time, the metal should still leave some rust marks. There is nothing here, which means that the thing is not made of metal but wood, so it can only be a trebuchet.
Many tunnels have been discovered on the island. It seems that there were once warehouses under the island, and the area was quite large. There used to be buildings on the ground, but they seemed to have been burned down. If nothing else, it should be the work of Guangming Shendian.
What depresses me the most are the underground warehouses. After a large number of players inspected them, they thought that treasures should have been stored there. Many players have found gold debris in the dust on the ground. Only a large amount of gold accumulated for a long time will leave such gold debris on the ground. Unfortunately, it has become empty now! Curse the Temple of Light again.
The player responsible for counting the berths reported that this swastika-shaped island in the middle of the lake can park 100 battleships as big as the Eternity, and the piers on the outer shore of the lake are even larger, and they also discovered many covered water buildings. Probably a dock. It seems that the shipyard here is several times larger than the one in Essinger, with about 16 berths, which means that 16 ships can be built at the same time. This production capacity must be terrifying. But now these things are just a framework. Judging from the blackened traces on the rocks, the dock was set on fire. The Temple of Light was really a bandit, and they even set fire to it during the robbery.
Ling, who had never been taken back, took the opportunity to say: "The Temple of Light is a hypocrite. How noble he pretends to be in front of others, but his true nature is immediately revealed when he gets here."
Wu immediately answered: "Of course. There are no witnesses here on the sea. All the people on the island were killed. No one will know about their despicable behavior."
These two are the mortal enemies of the Temple of Light, and they are really merciless in belittling the Temple of Light. What I am more worried about now is another thing. Although Wu has to be loyal to me for other things, she has a sacred and inviolable right - revenge. And her enemy is the Temple of Light. But Xiao Chun is the former Goddess of Light. Judging from the time, Xiao Chun should have been in power in the Temple of Light when the pirates were plundered. Isn't that Wu's enemy Xiao Chun? If the two of them fight, who will I help?
No, I can't let this happen. I have to take precautions. No matter whether Wu's enemy is Xiao Chun or not, they can't be allowed to meet anyway. Never call Xiaochun when Wu is around, as long as they don't meet.
Seeing that Ling and Wu were criticizing the Temple of Light more and more enthusiastically, I quickly interrupted them, because if Ling got excited and told Xiao Chun's story, it would be troublesome. I quickly took Ling back to Fenglong's special office space, and then tried to find a way to interrupt. "Wisty, where is the power you said you wanted me to see?"
"Over there." Wu pointed to a place outside the lake. The pier there is recessed, and a waterway extends into the huge building behind it. This building was obviously carved out of the mountain, otherwise it would be difficult to build such a large building. It looks like this should be a dock, just larger.
We took a small boat and arrived in front of this building that seemed to be a dock. Wu recited some spell, and the door slowly lowered with a click. When the door completely disappears under the water, the situation inside the building is immediately revealed to us.
"This is impossible!" King Chuang suddenly jumped up after seeing the situation inside. "No, how is this possible? We clearly hit it!"
I turned to look at King Chuang. "What's going on? Why such a big reaction?"
The space inside this building is very large, and it is densely packed with warships of various types. King Chuang pointed a trembling finger at a battleship near the door: "That... that ship."
"What happened to that ship?"
"That's the Black Dragon Society's assault ship Chiliu."
I looked at that ship. It had a very strange shape. No wonder Chuang Wang recognized Cai Cai at a glance! "Even if a Japanese ship appears here, you don't have to be so surprised!"
"But this ship was sunk by us more than 20 days ago. I saw with my own eyes the cannonballs that hit it. It was blown to pieces, not even the slag was left!"
