Chapter 553 The Silent Temple is Here
Hunter fell silent. Perhaps he could abandon his human body, but he couldn't forget everything. He couldn't live without his beloved calculus.
"The Silent Temple has tried every possible method over the past thousands of years. This is the only way. We just need to tell Count Xius, and then go to the north to dig out the Bone Temple, and then..."
"Wait, you buried the Bone Temple in the north?" Hunter was horrified. "We've been fighting there for so long, it won't be lost, will it?"
"No, we buried it very secretly and used the seal of the Silent Temple. Only our people can open it." Ignati waved his hand. "The most important thing is that this thing can only bring disaster. Who would go looking for this?"
Hunter nodded hesitantly.
"Patriarch, something seems to be wrong." An undertaker suddenly said, pointing to the wilderness in the distance. "Does that look a bit like the White Disaster?"
"Impossible! With the Temple of Bones still there, the White Scourge cannot cross the Canary Mountains." Ignati said without hesitation, but still narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.
"It seems. It does look a bit like that."
The scene suddenly fell silent.
[The Undertaker] As the extraordinary path of the Silent Temple, he excels in frontal combat, and his endurance and recovery abilities are also top-notch, but his reconnaissance skills are somewhat lackluster.
They can only rely on their physical fitness that far exceeds that of ordinary people and observe with their eyes.
"This place is very close to the expeditionary camp. They have a train going north and must know more information!" Nora said.
Ignatius nodded, and the people in the Temple of Silence began to speed up.
Hughes opened the door and walked out.
Since Gwen successfully seized control and controlled the white mist to retreat, she did not answer again.
For a moment, Xius suspected that she was going to default on the debt and was not prepared to explain to him.
But thinking about it carefully, the connecting thread was not broken, she could not run away, and maybe she needed to slowly digest the situation after taking control. So she did not wait any longer and directly switched to Lord Xius's body to see the situation.
When he came out, the battle in the fortress was basically over.
Zeus first sensed his own vitality, which was not bad, with little loss. It seemed that the banshees were doing well in the battle.
Sharing the life pool is actually a bit dangerous in this kind of battle, and some banshees who encounter danger are likely to drag everyone in the symbiotic contract into the water.
But the good thing is, as long as you survive, no one will die.
After checking the chat history of the mind link, Xius walked down two floors and came to a corner of the fortress.
This was originally a warehouse, and the ventilation holes had been blocked in advance. More than a dozen heavy machine guns were set up in front of the warehouse door, but the guarding soldiers did not open fire, while the banshees lined up in front of the warehouse door.
"You've been playing for five minutes, come out, it's my turn!"
"Don't make any noise, I'll chop them up a little bit more!"
"Don't chop it off, leave some for the people behind you"
Hughes hesitated for a moment and decided not to look. He looked around and walked to a strong man who was like a bear.
"What's going on, Kyle?"
"Lord!? Please stop these banshees! They are about to turn the skeletons into powder!"
Hughes took a deep breath and listened to Kyle's description of the battle.
The fog of the white disaster never came back after it withdrew, so the expeditionary force specially sent people to keep an eye on it.
The white disaster left, but the group of white bones that rushed out stayed where they were. Without the rapid recovery in the fog, they were instantly pinned down by the firepower of the expeditionary force.
Although it was not easy to open fire at full force inside the fortress, a random attack was enough to hurt these bones. The bones were recovering after leaving the white fog, but the speed was much slower. Those small pieces of bones moved on the ground not much faster than a snail, but the angry expeditionary force and the playful banshee were not easy to deal with.
Finally, with the help of brooms and baskets urgently coordinated by the logistics department, the group of bones were moved to a large warehouse here. It was extremely painful for the soldiers to move them - there were too many bullets mixed in with the bones.
"Alright, alright, stop messing around, Nini, you should take care of it too. If you don't want me to, Nini, get out of here!"
The warehouse was sealed off only after Zeus personally pulled out several banshees. The expeditionary force dispatched several teams to take turns guarding the warehouse. There were a lot of bones, almost filling up half of the warehouse in the fortress.
"Have the rear send some protective clothing over. It's better to be careful when touching these bones. Send a train to follow the white fog from a distance. If there is any abnormality, notify us immediately. Where is the airship? What's the status of the airship?"
"The airships are very safe. The height of the white fog seems to be fixed and cannot reach the maximum height of the airship." Alexei replied.
"Let the airship go to the nearby towns to check. The White Disaster was dragged all the way here by this group of bones. It should have mainly eroded the railway. Let's see if there are any losses in the nearby towns."
At this point, Xiu Si was suddenly stunned: "Wait, in places covered by the white disaster, things will decay quickly? That railway that was built to the north with great difficulty will not be broken, right?"
"I was worried about this, too. I just sent someone to check it out. It's in good condition." Alexei flipped through the notes in his hand. "Well, this is it. There is rust on the surface of many parts of the railway, and the sleepers also show signs of corrosion. A rough estimate is that the service life will be reduced by about ten years."
“What is the design lifespan of this railway?”
"One hundred years."
Hughes's face twitched.
"Okay, we still need to check. Anyway, if there are no problems, we can gradually withdraw the expeditionary force. The battle in the north has basically been fought, and we need to discuss how to occupy or govern it in the future."
Alexei was stunned when he heard this: "My Lord, Bazel's army has not been found yet."
He didn't know yet that Bazel had entered the white mist and was fighting with Gwen for control.
Speaking of Gwen, the whole thing is full of mystery from beginning to end. No one knows what this "control" is, and the connection between Big Gwen and Little Gwen has not yet been clarified.
"His men can't cause any trouble. Let's count the losses and clean up the battlefield first."
Alexei took the order and left.
Another messenger trotted over to Hughes:
"My Lord, there is a group of people outside who want to see you. There are about a hundred of them. They claim to be extraordinary people from the Holy Temple of Silence. The leader calls himself Patriarch Ignati of the Holy Temple of Silence. They are led by Nora, Grisha, and Hunter."
"Nora? They brought the extraordinary people from the Silent Temple? Did they tell us why they came?"
"They said," the messenger's expression became strange, "they said they could stop the white disaster and were willing to help us."
