Chapter 956

~8 min read 1,447 words

At first, Feodor didn't think there was any problem, because the light point fortress had briefly gone out before, but it lit up again after a night. Everyone unanimously believed that it was very likely that the light point fortress was tired, so it stopped to rest.

Originally, he thought this time was for the same reason and would light up again after a night, so Feodor kept flying toward the position where the light point last disappeared.

But a night passed, and the light point did not light up again. A day passed, and the light point did not light up again. Feodor was a little panicked. After another day and night, when the light point still did not light up, Feodor had to stop.

In the time of two days and two nights, if the light point fortress had been moving, it would have moved a very long distance. If they continued to the original point, it would be a wasted trip, and they would also miss the light point fortress.

By the time they returned to the Holy Light Alliance and set out again, the light point fortress would likely have already left the Boundless Great Void and merged into the vast void.

The light point fortress was very conspicuous in the empty Boundless Great Void, but after leaving the Great Void, it could easily hide in any plane or ruin, such as the Broken Land or the Holy Light Graveyard. By then, it would be difficult to find it again.

Stopping in a piece of void, Feodor shouted loudly with his soul: "Rest for a while, deploy the communication magic array, I want to communicate with the Council."

Thirty-some Mourning Undead soldiers stopped, each took out soul crystals and pinched them in their hands. The soul energy of the soul crystals was triggered, rising from their palms, and then they inhaled it into their noses.

From this detail, one could see that they were indeed skeletons wearing zombie skin and flesh, because only skeletons would use their eye sockets and noses to devour soul energy. If they were liches, they would generally press the soul energy to the position of their heart, not inhale it with their noses.

While absorbing the soul crystals, the skin and flesh of these Mourning Undead soldiers also began to slowly shrink, and soon they returned to their wrinkled zombie appearance.

Feodor didn't know what was going on, only that when the speed was fast in the void, their skin and flesh would expand, feeling like they had been soaked.

Two Mourning Undead soldiers opened their spatial accessories, took out stone slabs from them, and then spliced them together to form a teleportation array. The two Mourning Undead soldiers held the teleportation array, fixed it, and then activated it.

Although it was a teleportation array, only the communication magic array on it was used. They flew too far and could only communicate with the rear through the teleportation array. If the distance were a little further, I am afraid even the teleportation array would not be able to connect.

There are many obstacles in the world, but often the purest distance is the most despairing. The Boundless Great Void is a place where the distance is so far that it makes people despair. No one dares to underestimate the things that can come out of it.

The teleportation array was activated, and soon it connected to the rear. The voice of Speaker Joseph came from the magic array, as if he had been waiting there for a long time: "Oh my, Feodor, why are you only contacting us now? The light point fortress has disappeared. What happened? Did it discover you? Or did you succeed?"

Feodor was confused: "What are you talking about? We haven't arrived yet. Discover us? How is that possible? We don't emit light."

In the pitch-black void, it is almost impossible to discover objects without fluctuations. Even Ang's Balance Ring weighs the undulations of the surrounding space to know that there might be something nearby. As for what it is, one has to wait until it enters Ang's field of vision.

At such a distance, if the things in the light point fortress could discover them from such a distance, this battle would not need to be fought; just run away.

It's just that no one expected that Joseph's guess was correct. The light point fortress did indeed discover them, but the method of discovery was different from what they thought.

Joseph was obviously not just asking about the situation. Upon hearing "haven't arrived," he said angrily: "Then why didn't you contact the Council earlier? We have been waiting here for two days. Can you take responsibility for losing the light point fortress?"

"Joseph, don't make a mountain out of a molehill. Feodor is the Legion Commander; he has the power of decision. It is up to him to decide when to report the situation." Another voice angrily interrupted Joseph's questioning.

Joseph said indifferently: "Speaker Leo, is this kind of thing something a frontline Legion Commander can decide? The light point fortress is of great significance. It is the only thing that has come out of the Boundless Great Void. No one can bear the responsibility of losing it. What if it brings plague or war? What if an unprecedented plague infects us? Will you take responsibility for the people who die?"

"Damn it, don't change the concept." Leo said angrily: "Feodor decides when to contact the Council. The disappearance of the light point fortress is not his responsibility. They haven't found the light point fortress yet, so it's not their turn to take responsibility. If you mess around like this again, I will initiate a motion to remove you from your position as Speaker."

"If there is a motion, I will initiate it first. How many of the Alliance's elites did you lose when you invaded the Feilie Empire, and you also turned the Feilie Empire into an enemy of the Alliance. We have all been implicated by you and lost all the business of the Feilie Empire. I want to initiate a motion to remove you." Joseph said angrily.

The two Speakers started arguing directly on the other side of the teleportation array.

Feodor shook his head helplessly. The internal struggle of the Alliance had reached a white-hot stage, and even a contact time could be made a big deal and become an excuse to attack political enemies. Sometimes he really wished he could strangle these guys to death. Arguing and making noise, too much talk.

Unfortunately, it was impossible. Their Mourning Undead Legion was also pieced together. The thirty-six Mourning Undead soldiers belonged to six Speakers. Without orders, he could not command the other Mourning Undead soldiers.

Feodor reported patiently: "After we discovered that the light point fortress disappeared, we flew toward the position where it disappeared for two days, but still didn't wait for it to recover. What should we do now? Please instruct the Council. My idea is to turn around directly and head toward the Feilie Empire."

"The movement route of the light point fortress is pointing toward the Feilie Empire. We will arrive at its movement route in advance and wait for it. If it changes direction on the way, the Council will organize another group of people to intercept it. We will strive to return as quickly as possible."

The Holy Light Alliance is three or four months away from the Feilie Empire, but this is calculated based on the average speed of airships. Mourning Undead soldiers fly directly and don't need that long. If they use teleportation array jumps, they can return in a day.

However, whether a teleportation array can be found in the Feilie Empire's territory is a question. We must prepare for the worst. The Speakers still have half of the Mourning Undead soldiers under their hands. Organizing them would be another Mourning Undead Legion.

Feodor is a qualified Legion Commander. He not only reported the situation but also gave his own plan. The feasibility is very high. Even Joseph cannot make trouble unreasonably, otherwise, other Speakers will not support him.

After some discussion, Speaker Hertru, who was relatively neutral, said: "Legion Commander Feodor, just follow your idea..."

Before Speaker Hertru finished speaking, he was interrupted by Feodor: "No need, Speaker, the light point fortress has appeared."

After interrupting the communication, Feodor looked at the light point that had deviated from its original position and lit up again. He had a bad feeling in his heart. How did this point of light in the pitch-black remind him of bait used for fishing?
