Chapter 243 Wait for me to recruit an evil god to play with
Of the four airships, except for the first one which was equipped with a large number of weapons and was not suitable for exploration, Xus planned to send out all the other ones.
The entire island of Castel was surrounded. Unless the truth of the matter was uncovered and the source of the anomaly was found to completely resolve the crisis, no matter how well the island was fought, it would still be submerged by the sea.
Therefore, Hughes had high hopes for these airships.
After careful consideration, Hughes decided to send three airships to the mainland, Gem Bay and Eye of the Storm respectively.
The main purpose of sending the airship to the mainland is to see if it is possible to leave this strange space from the sky, so that at least it can go to the mainland for help.
There is no need to say much about the airship sent to Gem Bay. Jeremiah mentioned that Gem Bay and Castel had disappeared, and the situation over there might be helpful here.
The most important one is sending the airship to the eye of the storm.
According to Zeus's speculation, one of the Gem Bay and the Eye of the Storm is very likely to be the source of this mutation. Considering the drying up of the sea outside and the hole in the Eye of the Storm, the Eye of the Storm is most likely to be the source.
This airship is the most important and therefore the most dangerous one.
Zeus thought for a long time about the allocation of personnel for the airship. The Banshees were originally the most suitable crew members, but although the Banshees' mental connection had been strengthened once, the range was still not large, only a few circles larger than Castel's.
The destinations of these three airships were far beyond this distance, and the banshees' mental links could not be established at all.
In addition, the symbiotic contract is also limited in range. It cannot be used beyond this range, and both parties will slowly lose vitality.
The loss is not large and can be barely tolerated for a few days. Considering that this exploration is on the sea after all, and the eye of the storm may need to go to the hole in the sea to check, Zeus made the following allocation after consideration: Connor will take several crusaders to the mainland. There are no extraordinary people in this group, and the direction they are going is also the safest.
Chloe took several followers of the Fire Moth to Gem Bay. Chloe's ability was very useful there, as she could observe the local situation in detail from the air. The followers of the Fire Moth were mortals and could come into contact with physical pollution and manipulate the Noisemakers.
The team going to the Eye of the Storm is composed entirely of banshees, led by Nini, with a total of five banshees.
Nini was sent out after much consideration by Xius. Her improved sea snake spell was of great help to Castel's battle situation, but she was not completely irreplaceable. Although the other banshees were not as skilled as her, they could also be used as fuses on the battlefield.
The fish-herding spell that Nini had developed before can not only be used to drive away schools of fish, but is also very effective in exploring the ocean. This time exploring the eye of the storm is the top priority, so Zeus gritted his teeth and sent her out.
After the personnel were decided, they set off immediately. This time, time was very tight, so Hughes did not hold any ceremony for them, but the gazes cast on them made the people who were about to set sail feel the heavy expectations.
At the Eastern Proving Ground.
Several airships are here. After they were rushed to completion, there was not even enough time for a test flight. After repeated inspections, the engineers finally completed the acceptance. The people who had been waiting for a long time immediately carried the supplies and boarded the airships.
There were dark circles under Hughes' eyes. He had been so busy these past few days that his head was spinning. Mobilizing the entire Castel was no small task. There were too many things to take into account in order to make this huge war machine move forward correctly. Alexei, who used to handle internal affairs, had to take care of the army, so Hughes could only take on the task himself with the civil service group.
Connor's group was the first to set off. Their goal was just to seek help. They only needed to bring enough supplies and a small amount of weapons. They quickly completed the preparations. The boilerman poured a few cans of entity pollution into the Noisy One, and the familiar noisy sound rang out.
Connor and his companions entered the airship's crew cabin. After checking that everything was normal, they made a few gestures to the outside, and the engineers on the ground untied the cables.
The airship slowly rose into the air.
Hughes waved to Connor, and the Crusaders on the ground saluted collectively to bid farewell to their companions.
Connor nodded slightly to Hughes. He used to be a sailor and knew a lot about the sea, which was one of the reasons why Hughes chose him.
Soon, the airship rose higher and gradually turned into a small dot in the sky, and then slowly disappeared.
Connor was on the airship, looking at the gloomy sky and clenching the emblem in his hand.
That was the token that Hughes gave him. If he could really reach the land, he could use it to ask for help from the church, and Duke Cohen would not ignore it. If it really didn't work, Connor's eyes flashed. He was Master Hughes's butler, not Castel's. If the situation was really urgent, he would force Hughes to leave on the airship.
Of course, if everything goes well, if they can really find Lucius who left, his gaze shifted to the other side.
Chloe had to bring a lot of things here. In addition to basic supplies and weapons, she also brought a large number of extraordinary supplies, which made Zeus frown.
"What are these?"
"Ceremony supplies."
"Ritual?" Hughes looked at the barrels suspiciously. "I've seen your rituals. Don't they involve writing and drawing on the ground, taking up a large area?"
"Yeah, almost." Chloe said absentmindedly while looking at the list, "We brought a lot of things this time. If everything goes well, we can even send some messages remotely."
Remote message delivery? Hughes' eyes lit up, but before he could say anything, Chloe sighed, "Forget it. This ritual requires a large area of flat land. I might be able to find such a place in Gem Bay, but there is definitely no such place in the bottomless abyss of the Eye of the Storm."
Come to think of it, the whole place is covered with sea and there is no place to stay, which is why Zeus sent a whole team of banshees there.
"But does one ritual require so many things?"
"That's not necessary. This ceremony doesn't actually require many supplies. The rest are for another ceremony."
"What ceremony?"
Chloe raised her head and said seriously, "The evil god summoning ritual."
Zeus was startled and looked at Chloe with some confusion.
"Look, we are trapped here now. If the sea rises like this, we are doomed."
"Since we are all doomed, why not just summon an evil god? If someone is really against us, then this evil god will have to take action to deal with it, right? If no one is against us, then this evil god will also fight with the monsters in the sea."
“Let’s take a step back and say that even if He and the monster in the sea were mixed together, it is in the Gem Bay after all, and it cannot threaten Caster.”
Chloe spread her hands and said, "Look, there are only advantages and no disadvantages, so why not give it a try?"
Zeus took a deep breath. Is this the way cultists think? It must be said that there is some truth in it. "When you can't solve a problem, just make it bigger and someone will naturally come to solve it. If not, then make more problems and problems will fight each other." Chloe folded her arms and said proudly.
Zeus silently gave a thumbs up. The Fire Moth was indeed the most dangerous cultist.
