Chapter 64: After the Light Dimmed

Previous Chapter

"Kill!" Somewhere in the sea, a fight is going on. Tens of thousands of enemies surrounded a large island and kept attacking.

"Lord Admiral, the front line is no longer able to withstand it, the supplies have run out, when will the reinforcements come!" In the combat command room, an island owner who had just returned from the front line sat in a chair decadently and weakly. Even though he was very tired, he looked at the man who was sitting in the first place. It was the Admiral of the Sea, the commander-in-chief of the battle.

The island lord looked at the Admiral with fierce eyes, hoping to get good news.

The man sitting in the first place looked very handsome, but between his eyebrows, he was locked with sorrow. Seeing his subordinate asking him, the man's mouth moved, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

It happened seven days ago, when I received news from the goddess that a group of enemies were coming, and I had to defend myself. The man immediately made an emergency deployment, but it was too late.

Enemies are pouring in, and this small sea area under his control is full of enemies. Not only are they numerous, but they are also extremely fast, blocking all the main roads in the sea before their subordinate island owners can complete their assembly. As for the blockade of the space, it was carried out at the beginning, and the portal was already unusable.

The enemy divides himself into pieces and destroys them one by one. Every day, news of the defeat of the island owner came, until three days ago. He led half of the forces in the entire sea area, and on the way to support, he encountered a large number of enemies.

The battle lasted two days and two nights, and to the end, he returned to his island with some remnants of his army. I lost that battle. The man was very grief-stricken, and in that battle, the two sides fought each other in a hard-fought manner.

And the reason why your own side will lose is not because your own strength is much worse than that of the other party. In fact, he dared to fight the other party because he had already detected the strength of the other party and had already prepared for the enemy's siege.

The biggest reason for losing that war was that I didn't have the blessing of the goddess on my side!

There are great restrictions in the waters of the South Bay until the end of the one-year period, and the most important point is that the goddess cannot interfere. The interference here not only means that it is difficult to send soldiers directly to help, but also that the power of the goddess cannot be exerted in the waters of the South Bay.

Any battle of sufficient scale requires the blessing of the goddess. Just as the Owner of the Island blessed his soldiers with a soul grid, one of the ways the Goddess intervened in the battle was to bless her own power on the soldiers and the Lord!

The strength of the goddess is mainly related to three aspects, which determine the degree of influence on large-scale wars. First, the power of the goddess's own soul. Although the soul power of each goddess is very strong, there is a qualitative difference between it and the island owner. But there are differences between each goddess, just as there are differences between each island owner.

Second, the area actually controlled by the goddess. The more forces that can be controlled under the power, the stronger the goddess becomes. Anyone who plays at home has a big advantage.

Third, the number of pearls of the sea on the scepter of the goddess. The greater the number of pearls of the sea, the more power of the sea can be mobilized, and the more powerful the goddess will be.

However, in that very important battle, the power of the goddess never came. No matter how hard the man worked and how desperate the soldiers were, when they didn't have too much advantage, the blessing of the enemy goddess arrived!

So, the man was defeated, and the defeat was miserable, and the troops of tens of thousands of people returned to the island with only a thousand people. The enemy pursued quickly, surrounding the island, and tens of thousands of enemies attacked continuously.

Relying on the well-established defense facilities on the island, it barely supported for a while. However, the man, who only had a few thousand remnants of soldiers, simply did not hold out for long. Looking at the eyes of his subordinates looking at him, the man felt very uncomfortable. Because, it's been a long time since I have been able to contact the goddess!

In fact, the subordinates only knew the news, and they just looked at themselves with a glimmer of hope.

No matter how reluctant he was, the man could only tell his subordinates the truth, and at this moment, a soldier suddenly ran in in a panic.

"Admiral, Goddess, Goddess-sama's message!" With a word, everyone's emotions were aroused, and the man walked over quickly in three steps and two steps to confirm the news to the soldier.

"Ti, Lord Admiral, go quickly!" The soldier had silver-level strength, and he was still out of breath when he spoke, so you can imagine how fast it came.

The man no longer hesitated, and ran frantically towards the signal tower, judging from the scene where he left, although he was an island owner, he had strength close to the gold level.

"Goddess, finally, I finally have your message!" It was not the first time that the man had seen the image of the goddess, but this time, he was extremely excited.

"You've worked hard." The figure of the goddess also looks extremely tired and lonely. The man noticed this sight, thought of a possibility, and turned pale! Even in the past few days of siege, the man has never shown such a desperate look.

"We, I, lost." The image of the goddess fluctuated and became less stable. It's just that the sad expression of the goddess can't be concealed no matter what.

At the headquarters of that goddess, there were layers of soldiers around him, but those soldiers were all enemies! The guards who were loyal to her had all been wiped out.

"Alright, it's time to finish the old days, let's hurry up and finish the rest of the things." The image of another goddess-sama appeared at the headquarters of this goddess-sama, urging something.

"Catherine, you won!" The goddess looked around, everything was over, everything about herself had been destroyed, and what was left would be taken away.

"Don't hate me, there will only be one winner, you are just the first to leave, and I may not be able to go to the end." Goddess Catherine stood there and said softly to her, "Come here, finish all this, you should probably feel relieved that you can finally get out of this game." ”

The goddess on the throne moved, and she stood up from the throne with her scepter. She walked down step by step, and all the enemies around her retreated to the side, except for the image of the goddess Catherine.

The goddess on the throne slowly walked up to Goddess Catherine and placed her staff in her hand. The goddess Catherine is an image here, but at this time, she is able to catch the scepter! Because the scepter, which was closely related to him in the past, has turned into an illusion and is held in the hands of the goddess Catherine! It represents a ritual that represents oneself, to be conquered by her.

Each goddess was shrouded in light, and when the goddess stepped down from the throne, the light gradually dimmed. When the scepter was handed to the other party, the light disappeared completely, and the light of the goddess Catherine was even more dazzling.

At this moment, the goddess who had faded her light looked so inconspicuous. And as the goddess Catherine shines, the surrounding soldiers begin to cheer for their goddess, the goddess Catherine!

The throne became distorted, turning into a spatial portal. The goddess who had become ordinary walked to the spatial door and disappeared amid the piercing cheers of everyone. And in the original position, the throne appeared again.

Catherine in the light, no one could see her expression, because a layer of divine aura appeared on her. When you defeat an opponent, something moves to you. And Catherine, as she accepted these things, walked slowly forward to the throne.

The soldiers stopped cheering and fell to their knees, waiting for their goddess to sit down and complete the ritual once and for all. Catherine's emotions are mixed, with joy and confusion.

But seeing the warriors around her, who had always stood faithfully and bravely, the goddess Catherine took a deep breath and turned to sit on the throne! At this moment, the aura of the goddess Catherine began to spread, and in just a few breaths, she completely occupied this medium-sized sea area!

The besieged island, when the image of the goddess disappeared, the man raised his head. His eyes were hollow, as if he had drained his strength all at once. "Boom!!" The sound of artillery fire in the distance woke up the man.

When he walked out of the signal tower, the remaining few island owners had all gathered at the door, looking at him with hope in their eyes. When the man walked out, he seemed to have returned to normal, and even his posture was much taller than before. It's just that no matter what, you can't hide that dead air!

"Already, there is no hope." The man didn't stop, he walked slowly past these island owners, he didn't look at them, he just said to himself: "Our goddess, lost, it's impossible, someone has come to save us..."

When the owners heard the news, they sat down on the ground in despair.

"Lord Admiral, we, what are we going to do!" The man didn't take a few steps away, and when he heard the owner of the island behind him, he couldn't bear it and shouted bitterly.

"What should I do?" The man stood there, his eyes looking down. This is his island, which has been built by hard work and single-handedness from the very beginning! And now, it will no longer be its own. And where will I go?

The man began to walk, from the signal tower at the highest point on the island, and headed down.

"The Owner?" The soldiers under the man's command saw their owner approaching and looked at their owner worriedly.

"You guys, you really don't follow the right person." The man smiled and, as usual, greeted the soldiers, patted them lightly on the shoulder, and touched their heads.

The man's speed was not fast, and he did not walk in a straight line, but zigzag, as if he was going to walk the whole island again.

The front line is still full of fighting, but in half a day at most, the entire island will be occupied. When the man walked to the front, there was a shout from the other side.

"Your goddess has lost, the war is over! Let go of resistance, there is no need to fight, as long as you put down your resistance, it will not hurt you again! ”

"Drop your resistance?" The man muttered to himself, and looked behind him, and the group of his own soldiers were still standing firmly behind him. His deputy, the woman who had always treated him gently, was running towards him regardless of the injuries on his body. However, there are already many companions who have left them forever.

"Don't resist any longer." The admiral on Catherine's side walked out, saw the man's appearance, sensed that he wanted to die, and couldn't bear to say: "The past is all gone, and there are still so many people who need your care, or do you not want to take responsibility anymore?" ”

"Island Master, don't leave us." The man's deputy ran to his side and hugged him tightly from behind.
