"What is that?"
Aiden, Anu and others looked towards the sea.
The sea is directly opposite the village...
Although everyone could still feel the cool sea breeze on their faces in the dark fog, a light green light appeared and disappeared in the distance in this dark and misty sea.
If you look carefully, it looks like a lighthouse!
"It's that thing." Seria said suddenly.
"What?"
"Haven't you heard the stories the bards have been telling recently... People are attracted to the distant lighthouse, and those with weak wills will be taken away by it, muttering the names of their loved ones all the time." Saizhiya said.
These stories were told by street bards when I was in the capital.
All the princes and princesses of Jagun would occasionally sneak out of the imperial city to play. They probably all knew about this, but they tried their best not to be discovered by each other when they left. Even Seria felt that her father, the Sun King, must know about it... After all, it was impossible for such a stuffy place like the palace to trap a young person.
If you don’t go out for a walk, how can you know the news outside? The news inside the imperial city has been carefully prepared!
That time, Seria had heard a similar legend in the stories of the bards in the neighborhood, and now it seemed almost exactly the same as in the story!
lighthouse.
Just like a lighthouse standing on the coast.
"Everyone, please pay attention to the people around you and report any abnormalities immediately." Seria immediately shouted behind her.
"clear!"
After the affirmative answer, no unexpected news came from the team.
"It seems that this story is not entirely true." Anu said with a faint smile.
"That just proves someone deliberately spread this news. Bards will tell stories whenever they have them, and the witnesses are likely the ones who spread the news... Find out if there's anyone else nearby, and where the military base is."
Due to the deployment in the previous few days, military camps were actually set up in the villages along the coast of Kexia City.
The troops who served as protection lived inside, and most of the weapons were also stored inside...
"What are you going to do? Seria." Anu suddenly asked anxiously, and in his anxiety he even forgot to address the other person's identity.
"With weapons, of course!"
"But we don't know what that is yet," he said hurriedly.
You should know that among these weapons are the artillery pieces that Seria brought here before. Some of them are placed in the military camps of these villages... Since there are only a few villages near the coastline near the city of Kosha, a lot of them can be stored even if one village is divided equally.
"It's precisely because we don't know that we want to see what it is!" Seria said firmly.
Now, as more and more information gradually came to light, she was certain that this matter was related to certain groups, and that these groups had committed crimes many times... not only did they commit crimes, they even widely spread unrealistic information to confuse the public.
Green ghost?
Haha~
It is indeed green, but it is hard to say whether this ghost is a ghost.
"Hurry up, if we let this thing run away, all our efforts these days will be in vain!" said Seria.
Everyone has been deployed for such a long time to search for this thing. They racked their brains to find a way in every meeting, but they have not been able to really find the other party's trace. Now that they have finally encountered it this time, don't even think about leaving!
Otherwise, I don’t know which city port the ‘ghost’ will appear in next time.
Anu also knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he stopped trying to stop Riya... As for the other nobles, they directly sent their personal soldiers to secretly search for living people and bring artillery over.
The dark coastline village was suddenly illuminated by dense flames.
It seems that this action also attracted the attention of the 'ghost'!
"It seems to be moving."
"Yes, it moved!"
Someone noticed that the green 'ghost' in the distance in the darkness began to move...
When it moved, the idea of a lighthouse fell apart, because the green halo seemed to bend for a moment.
Alive?
Everyone was puzzled.
"Don't just stand there. If that thing comes into range, just open fire. Dead enemies are truly no threat!" Seria shouted.
Even Anu and the other nobles hadn't expected that this princess would be even more like a general on the battlefield...
"Everything is ready!"
There was no time to think about it now, all six or seven cannons were aimed at the direction where the ghost was coming.
Getting closer.
Then the green light seemed like a tall man walking on the sea.
The water depth along the coast is not very deep, but it is not deep enough to stand a few meters in the sea. What would that height be like?
But when the other party got a little closer, I found that it was not standing at all, but lying down... like a spider walking, moving slowly towards the coastline.
In the darkness, green gradually becomes visible.
Everyone gasped, and finally opened fire after the princess prompted them again.
The sound of the artillery echoed in the darkness, and people several kilometers away could probably hear it. However, when the artillery fired at the green ghost, another even more piercing sound came.
Roar~
Quickened the pace.
It was like a humanoid creature with a swollen body lying on the sea.
The whole body is covered with limbs and a strange head, and the lower half is composed of limbs several meters tall. It crawls on the sea surface, and a huge flesh bubble is swollen where the abdomen should be. If you look closely, it is broken, because the thing swaying on it is part of the identity of a living person.
Seriya couldn't believe her eyes.
I have never seen such a monster in my life...
What's this!!
Its entire body looked like a bloated tumor, with only its lower and upper bodies remaining the same. Human-shaped limbs kept appearing in its abdomen, as if all those people had been eaten by it!
"Attack, attack quickly!"
The moment they saw the true face of the 'ghost', even the Zhengege team was stunned. For a moment, they couldn't find any adjectives to describe what they saw.
Only when it rushed over did we ignite the artillery attack again.
Boom~
The body was not particularly large, but when the artillery hit the opponent, it was like a dud. You could only hear the sound but it didn't explode at all. Even the red-hot iron ball lost its color when it touched the opponent's body.
It washed ashore...
The soldiers standing next to the front artillery were grabbed by the opponent's chaotic and wriggling palm before they could dodge, and their whole bodies merged into its body!
