Chapter 31 Ghost General

“Bang!”

Loud noises continued to be heard in the city. The wooden bridge and the sea surface were shaking, and even the ground of the port was affected.

Sometimes there was the sound of horse hooves, then the sound of exploding shells and the cold sound of iron boots stepping on the ground. Without exception, these sounds should be caused by Anson Deer.

Adel and Yu Mingdao stood there in a daze, cold sweat washing down their backs.

The noise alone was enough to scare people.

They couldn't even imagine...

What kind of sensory impact would it be when they really stood in front of that six-meter-tall giant? Would they still be able to stand? Would they really not be scared and run away immediately?

Perhaps it is right to let Anson Deer take command... Adel's strong and thick right hand was trembling as he thought so.

Although he is only a 17-year-old high school student, Anson Lu has enough courage to step into this city built on the sea and face the huge god-like monster.

What a strong psychological quality this is...

Not only that, both Urushihara Ritsu and Yuri seemed too calm.

It seems that they don't have even the slightest fear of death and can face such situations calmly.

"I understand what you mean, Mingdao..." Adel took a deep breath and said slowly, "They are indeed monsters, monsters that we will never be able to compare to in our entire lives."

"Don't shake your hands, it's so embarrassing..." Yu Mingdao laughed and teased:

"Adel, are you sure you will have enough energy to command other players after you enter this city?"

"I can't do it." Adel answered frankly.

"But he can do it." Yu Mingdao picked up a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and said self-deprecatingly:

"All we need to do is entrust our lives to him and believe that he can keep us alive."

Listening to the deafening roar in his ears, Yu Mingdao took a deep breath, and his messy hair blown by the wind covered his eyes.

Feelings of powerlessness, self-loathing, and regret continued to overflow from his heart. The emotions that were suppressed but tried hard to contain were like a lit cigarette, with no firewood visible, leaving only a thin layer of smoke lingering around his fingertips.

"I entrusted my life to a child..." Adel said, "I am a retired soldier after all. I never thought such a ridiculous thing would happen."

Yu Mingdao raised his head and looked towards the sea. "Adel, one of the four players who died on the street just now was my brother."

Adel was stunned for a moment and looked at Yu Mingdao silently.

"He said he didn't want me to lower my standards for him just because he's my family..." Yu Mingdao took a long puff of cigarette and said slowly:

"I watched as those beasts stabbed him through the heart with a knife, but I could do nothing. If I had chosen to save him, I would have most likely lost my life...

In the end, the whole team lost control, fell into disarray, and was completely wiped out."

"Heh, heh..." Adel was silent for a long time, then laughed inappropriately, "In an era like this, as an ordinary person, our existence is so powerless."

"So, just leave it to them with peace of mind."

Five minutes later.

Two players appeared out of nowhere and rushed towards the port.

The fat man at the head of the group looked terrified. He tiptoed past the crowd and rushed towards Yu Mingdao, asking breathlessly:

"The system said, Brother Lu, Brother Lu went in, so they were the only two people who went in?!"

The tall man next to the fat man also had a worried look on his face. After hearing the system prompt, he and Maruyama Jun hurried towards the port.

"Who are you?" Yu Mingdao frowned.

He didn't know where these people came from. He hadn't seen these two people from yesterday to today, but they suddenly appeared now, muttering Anson Deer's name.

"My name is Maruyama Jun, and his name is Iwata Minoru." Maruyama Jun swallowed a mouthful of water and asked with wide eyes, "Anson Lu, Anson Lu really went in there."

At this time, Minoru Iwata raised his head, his dull eyes staring quietly at the castle on the sea from which the sound of vibrations continued to come.

"Yes, Anson Deer is inside," Adel looked at the crow perched on the bridge railing and answered on behalf of Yu Mingdao, "But he should be out soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crow on the bridge railing disappeared, and in its place—Anson Lu and Urushihara Ritsu appeared above the bridge railing.

[It was detected that a player used the shuttle skill to leave the sea city. This dungeon challenge has failed.]

[This Boss Battle Challenge failed, the Sea City has been closed, and you can challenge it again until 0:00 am the next day. 】

[Challenge opportunity: 1 remaining]

"Fuck!"

Anson Deer suddenly realized that he was standing on the bridge railing. He twisted his foot and his center of gravity suddenly shifted backwards, and he was about to fall into the surging waves.

At this moment, a pale hand grabbed him and made his body lean towards the inside of the bridge.

The touch of my hands is a little cold.

Anson Deer fell from the bridge railing, stood on the bridge, and met the white-haired girl's gaze in a daze, "Thank you."

"No need." Yuri turned his face away.

"Sorry, Lu-kun." Urushihara Ritsuya dropped down from the bridge railing, fiddling with a camera, "I forgot to let the crow land on the railing in advance."

Anson Lu held his forehead and said with a headache, "You are plotting to murder me, right? If I really fall into the water and become a water ghost, I will be the first one to drag you into the water."

"Sorry, sorry..." Urushihara Ritsu smiled and played the video footage from the camera. "Come to think of it, it's really spectacular. A giant nearly six meters tall."

"I've basically figured out his skills. The last three consecutive kills were really scary. If I had reacted a little slower, I would have died." Anson said, resting his hand on his chin.

"So, is your video clear? Only you can figure out how to let a crow hold the camera in its mouth."

"It can take clear pictures. I let it hold the camera in its mouth and fly in the air, keeping a certain distance from the boss." Urushihara Ritsu put away the camera and said with a smile:

"Finally, before leaving the city, I got the camera back from the crow's mouth."

"That's all right."

Anson Lu raised his eyebrows. Urushihara Ritsu's ability to act had never let him down. He didn't make any mistakes in this operation.

With just two people, they basically figured out all of the boss's attack patterns.

But with only two people, it was really a fantasy to want to kill the "Ghost General".

At this time, almost all the players' attention was focused on Anson Deer.

They were waiting for a result, waiting for the commander to say something affirmative.

Anson Deer walked slowly along the wooden bridge towards the port and said calmly:

"We have just roughly figured out the strength of this dungeon boss, and we have recorded all of its skills with a camera."

Yu Mingdao was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh and praised: "Well done!"

Adel had to admit it, and said with a smile on his face: "As expected of you, kid."

However, even after hearing such good news, the players gathered at the port were still restless.

They all heard the noise coming from the city on the sea. No matter how good the strategy was on paper, they would still feel fear when facing such a monster in actual combat.

Anson Deer stood on the wooden bridge, his dark brown eyes quietly looking down at the players in the port.

"Also, I want you to listen to what I have to say," he said slowly.

All the players turned their eyes to Anson Deer. Some of these eyes were filled with doubt, some were filled with hesitation, some were filled with fear of death, some were filled with admiration, and even faith.

"As long as you can do it and be calm enough to carry out my orders, I promise you..."

Anson Lu put his hands into his school uniform pockets and said almost word by word:

"None of you who shouldn't die will die."

Confirmed to have advanced, the second round of recommendations will be next week.
