Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton Chapter 1433

Chapter 1433: Chapter 994: Light Point Fortress Has Arrived

Dammit, I've been tricked! Orgal instantly realized and glared angrily at the silver coin.

If the silver coin had not added that last sentence, Orgal would not have been certain, but with the silver coin's final words, “your inner Heroic Spirit,” not only did it show the silver coin's malicious intent but also a deep understanding of their “Heroic Spirit,” even the pattern of the conversation might have been deliberately leading. Damn it, I fell into the trap.

A Heroic Spirit is the belief within one's heart, the collective recognition of a certain image, a common faith shared by a group of people, and also the source of their strength.

Without consensus, there is no Heroic Spirit, and no strength.

To some extent, Heroic Spirits are very similar to Gods, and that's why Orgal wants to slay the Gods, for the Gods occupy the ecological niche they rely on.

Even if not all Gods are to be slain, they must all be duly registered, for as long as the Gods are willing to register, they are not omnipotent deities but rather a kind of regulated power that has been recorded.

And the person who registers them, then becomes an even greater power that can restrict them, which is why Orgal values the title of “Registrar of Gods” highly. As long as a large number of people form the same consensus, couldn't the Registrar of Gods also become another Heroic Spirit?

However, he never expected that the silver coin would use the Heroic Spirit to set a trap for him, and Orgal couldn't even refuse because it was he who proposed it. Even though he was deceived, intending to counterattack with the silver coin's rhetoric, he couldn't deny that these words came from his own mouth.

A person can deceive the whole world, even deceive Gods like Anthony, but one can never deceive the beliefs in one's own heart, so Orgal must come up with a piece of information equally important in exchange.

What news could be more important than the capture of the Light Point Fortress? These people have actually captured the Light Point Fortress? When?

Orgal thought of a few possibilities. The first one was that the other side had captured the Light Point Fortress before contacting them. The second and third possibilities related to the two times when the Light Point went out.

Originally everyone speculated that perhaps the Light Point Fortress had simply flickered out due to exhaustion, but if the Light Point Fortress was already captured by them, then their attack would definitely have affected the Light Point Fortress, suggesting those two outages were likely caused by their assault.

Orgal took a deep breath. These three possibilities each had different implications.

The first possibility indicated that these people had the ability to delve far into the Boundless Space Hole and launch an attack, presenting a huge challenge to logistics supply, long-distance navigation, spatial positioning, and energy reserves.

If you walk ten kilometers in the desert, you just need to carry a bottle of water, but if you want to walk a hundred kilometers in the desert, it's not about carrying ten bottles of water; you also need to carry food, tents, fuel, clothing, and so on. The supplies you carry could be tens or hundreds of times more than those required for ten kilometers.

The Boundless Space Hole is like that desert; the difficulty of venturing in for ten days as opposed to a hundred days is not ten-fold but dozens or even hundreds of times greater. If these people have the ability to go deep into the Boundless Space Hole, then Orgal needs to reassess their strength.

Unless…

“Are you people of the Great Speaker?” Orgal suddenly exclaimed, only the Mourning Undead Soldiers in the hands of the Great Speaker could possibly venture deep into the Boundless Space Hole without needing much supply.

The silver coin smiled calmly: “What are you talking about? Our Lord, the Duke of Divine Light, has been personally conferred by Her Majesty the Friel Queen.”

The little girl who had taken off her heavy armor and was dressed in a fluffy skirt, drowsily opening her eyes at the mention of her title, asked, “Have they arrived? Is it time to fight?”

“No, go back to sleep. I'll call you when we arrive,” Orgal responded.

“Oh.” The Friel little girl turned over and quickly fell asleep again.

Orgal gave the silver coin a serious look; even though the silver coin denied it, he was even more suspicious that these were the Great Speaker's people. Otherwise, they wouldn't have used the title he had given them as a diversion.

He had always suspected that they were one of the six speakers of the Divine Light Alliance, never considering the Great Speaker because according to intelligence, the Great Speaker had been missing for many years.

But what if the disappearance of the Great Speaker was due to the other speakers? Then it would make perfect sense that the Great Speaker leveraged his power to eliminate the traitors.

The logic was self-consistent, and it seemed that he had guessed right. Orgal silently applauded himself and began to ponder what information would be valuable but not 'important'.

The information had to have value, at least as valuable as what the silver coin had revealed, otherwise, it wouldn't pass the 'Heroic Spirit' checkpoint.

But it couldn't be too significant, or Orgal would feel at a loss. Therefore, he needed some information that was valuable, but not critical to him.

After clarifying these two points, Orgal immediately thought of something and said, “The Great Speaker of the Divine Light Alliance was ousted and ended up here to establish the Divine Light Association.”

Is the news about the Divine Light Alliance's Great Speaker valuable? Certainly, it is. But is it important? In any case, it's not important to Orgal.

Aren't you people of the Great Speaker? I'll just share the news about the Great Speaker with you and see if you get choked by the news you already know.

“Oh? Impossible, the establishment of the Divine Light Association goes way back. You wouldn't be lying, would you?” the silver coin said in surprise.

Orgal laughed, putting on a very believable act. But it was also possible that the Great Speaker's men didn't understand their leader's origins. Thinking of this, Orgal added, “Here's another piece of news for you: the Great Speaker is an immortal Witch.”

The silver coin nodded calmly, not particularly surprised by this information. For the Great Speaker capable of creating Mourning Undead Soldiers, being an Undead himself seemed reasonable.

Not pretending anymore? Seeing the silver coin's reaction, Orgal was even more convinced that these were the Great Speaker's people; otherwise, why would they not be shocked by such news?

“Alright, it's your turn. Now that you've captured the Light Point Fortress, give me a detailed report of its origins.” Orgal said, reminding of their initial agreement.

“This is a Void Fortress belonging to the Church of Light, called the Holy Kingdom, with dimensions of …” the silver coin began introducing the origins of the Holy Kingdom and the Church of Light. These were historical facts, and the silver coin simply reported them as they were.

Listening to such a detailed introduction, Orgal found no loopholes, only managing to criticize, “All this is what you've said, and it sounds similar to the Lord of Light, both based on the belief in Light. Do you have any physical evidence?”

The silver coin was well-prepared, holding up a Holy Crystal and explaining, “Holy Crystal, the condensed form of the Power of Light. Its power deals extra damage to Undead. Use it on an Undead to see for yourself; the Lord of Light's radiance doesn't inflict additional damage on Undead.”

There was no need to test. Orgal could tell at a glance that it was certainly not the power of the Lord of Light. Each power contains distinct information, and even the same Holy Light from Ange and the Church of Light has vast differences that are clear to any discerning observer.

Registrar of Gods Orgal was such a discerning observer.

With detailed information and physical evidence to back it up, Orgal could not see any falsehood and had to ask, “How did it end up here? How did it leave the Boundless Space Hole? What other similar forces and planes exist inside the Space Hole…”

A barrage of questions in his mind remained unfinished when he saw the silver coin smiling at him with a look that seemed like he was eyeing a fat sheep, “These questions are beyond our agreement. So, what price are you willing to pay for the answers to these questions?”

A pang of anxiety struck Orgal's heart: A scheming merchant…

Before Orgal could decide whether he should handle the Master God situation, a report echoed inside the cabin: “It's here, the Light Point Fortress has arrived.”

PS: It's the last day of the 23rd year; I wish everyone success in achieving your desires.
