Chapter 1474: Mulberry Bay at Night (II.)

The distribution of lights in the Mulberry Bay mining area hints at the turbulent situation in the area. Since October, the Naraku Order has intensified its infiltration of the Mulberry Bay mining area, and attacks on state-owned mines have become more rampant. Most of the miners in the frequently infested pits were so frightened that they quit their jobs and fled Mulberry Bay, or were introduced to private mines by well-intentioned people. State-owned mines, unable to sustain production, closed one after another, and looked particularly bleak after dark.

In order to restore order in Mulberry Bay, the Parnia authorities specially sent a reinforced battalion of regular troops from the capital to undertake the task of protecting the mines. However, this guard of more than 500 people could not take care of the more than 300 mines scattered in the Bay Area, and the troops were too scattered but gave the Naraku cultists a chance to break through, and the garrison lost nearly 100 guards in just one month, and it was even more outrageous that these warriors who died in the battle to resist the invasion of the undead were not at peace after death, and were resurrected as undead creatures by the Naraku cultists and joined the ranks of killing comrades.

In order to avoid continued blood loss, the commander of the Mine Guard, Colonel Heinus, the high-ranking Vijeth Guard, was forced to decide to abandon the protection of the scattered mines in the remote areas and deploy the guards in the mining concentration area on the banks of the Mochizuki River, so that while the forty percent of the state-owned mines were abandoned, about sixty percent of the mines could be more reliably protected and maintain normal production.

Colonel Haynas wrote to Parniaborg asking for more troops, and at the same time mobilized the mines that could not be cared for to move equipment and personnel to his defense area to avoid further losses, which is why the surrounding mines were only lit up after dark, and only the riverside mines were brightly lit.

Another reason is that the largest magic crystal smelter in the Mulberry Bay area is located here, and the industrial magic crystals smelted every quarter are stored in the underground vaults of the Bay Area churches, and they are transported to Parniaborg at the end of the season.

While Colonel Haynas was leading the night watch, Pastor Eudosia was writing letters in the church office. The letter was addressed to her friend and immediate boss, Princess Veronica. In the letter, Yudosia recounted that during the day, in the name of preaching, she visited the private mines in the north of the Bay Area, and inquired about the news during the exchange with local miners and grassroots managers, although she had not yet obtained conclusive evidence, but there were indeed rumors of the Naraku cultists in the local area, which shows that the wealthy mine owners in Mulberry Bay reached a conspiracy to cooperate with the Naraku cultists to suppress the state-owned mines.

As the sky began to darken, Yudothea put aside her pen for a while, opened the desk drawer, took out a grapefruit-sized crystal ball from it, reached out and stroked it lightly, and recited a mantra, and the crystal ball immediately shone brightly, illuminating the office.

The citrine-carved orb, known as the "Ball of Radiance", was a gift from Princess Veronica when she returned from the North two years ago. It is said that this magic crystal is a treasure in the treasury of Lucia Dragon City, Princess Veronica assisted the Far Eastern Prince Roland Kolas to conquer Dragon City, found this crystal ball in the treasure house of the Dragon King, and gave it to her friend, congratulating her on her promotion to the level 11 Vijes Priest, becoming the youngest "priest" in the church, and half-jokingly said, "I hope that the 'Ball of Light' will brighten her future, and in the future she will become the youngest vicar and bishop of the Vijess Church, until she ascends to the Holy Throne of the Patriarch."

Yudothea is deeply impressed by the deep friendship of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and carries the "Ball of Radiance" with her wherever she goes. After a long period of research, she had figured out the magic of this magic crystal orb. The orb will automatically be filled with three rounds of energy every day, and as long as there is at least one round of energy left, the orb of light can illuminate the surrounding 40 feet of space, which is equivalent to the 3-ring "Daylight Technique", which can not only be used to replace oil lamp lighting, but also to scare away undead creatures.

When Eudothea touches the Orb of Radiance and recites a specific activation spell, the energy contained in the orb is converted into a beam of light and fired. This beam has no effect on living species, but it can hit undead creatures within 120 feet, and the more energy it excites, the greater the damage it will inflict on the undead.

The Ball of Radiance's energy is automatically replenished overnight, and in addition, Yudosia can also use her priest ability to recharge it, and for every 1 shot of positive energy that dispels the undead, she can replenish 1 glow energy to the Ball of Radiance, and can only store a maximum of 3 rounds of energy.

Eudothea placed the ball of light on her desk, pulled out a chocolate biscuit covered in frosting from the cookie box, and threw it into her mouth to chew. This small snack called "kaffet" is one of her eighteen favorite snacks, and she feels panicked after not eating it for a day.

Outside the window, there was the sound of horns and the cacophony of hurried footsteps of guards in chain mail.

Eudothea furrowed her eyebrows, guessing that the mines were being harassed by the undead again, and Colonel Haynas sounded the alarm horn, and tonight was probably going to be another sleepless night.

These days, the mining area is infested with undead creatures almost every night, and the intruders are just low-level undead such as zombies and ghouls, not at all opponents of the Hainas Guard.

This kind of small scene does not need her as a high priest to make a move, and she continues to write letters with the help of the "ball of light". At the end of this secret letter to Her Royal Highness, Yudosia stated that she would continue to pursue the mystery of Mulberry Bay, and suggested that the Vlad royal family should also plan early, and if her investigation confirmed that the local nobles had indeed colluded with the Naraku Order's treason, then it should not be tolerated, and if necessary, it would be wise to take thunderous measures to completely eradicate the source of the trouble......

Eudothea had just finished writing a long letter when the sound of a horn came from outside the window, more high-pitched and hurried than before.

Yudothea's face changed, and she got up and looked out the window at the night.

If it weren't for the fact that the enemy was particularly difficult, Colonel Haynath would not have sounded the horn again. The situation seemed more urgent than expected, and she had to step in to fight.

Eudothea hastily locked the letter in a drawer, got up and put on her armor, and with great difficulty it took a great deal to stuff her fat ass and round melon-like breasts into the chain mail. Of course, the chain mail woven by Mithril will not shrink for no reason, and it is clear that it fits well last year, but this year it has become a "straitjacket", and Yudosia really can't find any other reason, so she can only reluctantly blame her figure for being out of shape.
