Chapter 965: Chapter 536 How is the breeding situation? Chapter 965: Chapter 536 How is the breeding situation? It was a bit difficult for Anthony to cleanse the memory of a Necromancer King, but with Ange and Feiti working together to suppress, it became no difficulty at all.
“Quiet, quiet, Annihilation Sphere, don't move…”
“Don't move, I know Gust, I'm here to rescue you…”
“If you don't want to be blown to death by the Sorcerer Alliance's Annihilation Sphere, then don't move…”
“Keep quiet, we are transferring you to a safe place, don't drag us down…”
In a daze, Arambrough felt himself wrapped in a cloth, devoid of any sensation, being carried around by others.
When the cloth occasionally lifted, he could see several airships of the Sorcerer Alliance passing by swiftly, and then the cloth was pulled back down.
In his groggy state, a jumble of voices reverberated in his soul, gradually making him “remember” something, as if he had been attacked by the Sorcerer Alliance, and someone had saved him…
After an indeterminate amount of time, the cloth was lifted, and Gust's face appeared before him.
Arambrough instinctively jerked his head back, shoving his hand towards Gust's broad face.
Gust drifted away a bit and said, “It's pretty normal, how are you feeling? Are you OK? Any dizziness, blurred vision, or muscle cramps? Do you remember what happened?”
Arambrough frowned and looked around, realizing he was back at the Council of the Undead, and couldn't help but wonder, “How did I end up here?”
“You don't remember what happened?” asked Gust.
Arambrough hesitantly replied, “It's all a blur, I remember a little bit, but you tell me what happened?”
“I checked your soul and found signs of soul shaking. You really don't remember anything?” Gust prompted.
After thinking for a while, Arambrough said, “It seems I was attacked, and someone saved me, they said they knew you?”
“You were attacked, there are traces of soul shaking in your soul, typical Soul Impact from an Annihilation Sphere. Unless someone whose soul is several times stronger than yours assaulted you, an Annihilation Sphere is the only thing that could cause such damage,” Gust said.
Arambrough nodded, “Then it must have been an ambush by the Sorcerer Alliance. Other than Your Majesty, no one could have a soul several times stronger than mine. Who saved me?”
Gust hesitated for a moment, then came closer and whispered, “The Church of Light, the Pope, Anthony.”
Arambrough frowned and nodded.
It was now Gust's turn to be surprised, “You're not shocked?”
“Nothing shocking about it, I had already guessed,” Arambrough sneered, “Who else but the Church of Light with all its secretive ways could make you sneak around so cautiously?”
That made sense, Gust after all was the Chairman, and wouldn't need to be secretive about anything unless it were particularly scandalous. The only thing that warranted such caution was the taboo-breaking Church of Light.
In fact, the higher-ups all knew the score; even if Your Majesty learned of Gust's contact with the Church of Light, it wouldn't be a problem. After all, the Light Saintess used to reside in the world's central transfer station back in the day.
“`
It was mainly the ordinary undead and those vassal races who were particularly fanatical, strongly opposing and rejecting the Church of Light. If discovered by them, it would be quite troublesome for Gust.
Since Arambrough had guessed it and showed no obvious disgust, Gust felt there was no need to hide it from him. He elaborated, “Anthony discovered you were attacked by the Sorcerer Alliance's airship, so he took action to save you and contacted me, asking if I was interested in using the wizard's ladder to trade you back. They lost quite a lot of manpower to save you and needed some compensation.”
Arambrough frowned and pondered. His memories were very confused, but he could dimly remember that anxious voice. Combining it with what Gust had said, he could barely piece together a narrative of being attacked and then rescued.
But…
Arambrough had a vague sense that something was amiss but couldn't remember what it was, and in the end, he could only reluctantly accept the explanation given.
Night fell, and a group of mysterious people moved into the wizard's ladder, which now had only one main pillar left. They worked through the night to repair it, and before dawn, they flew away on the ladder.
Upon receiving the news, Gust couldn't help murmuring, “The Church of Light's capabilities are not weak, huh? They even have professionals to repair the ladder? We've studied it for so long and still don't know where to start with repairing that ladder, yet they fixed it in one night?”
“It seems we've underestimated the Church of Light before. They've been quietly building up their strength in hiding. Once we rescue His Majesty, we need to sweep the Church of Light clean,” Arambrough also said.
The wizard's ladder with only its main pillar left flew underneath the previously compensated airship; the main pillar slowly joined together, looking from afar like a handle extended by one section.
Negris clicked his tongue in wonder, “That works too? The main pillar can still be joined together? Can all ladders do this? Wouldn't that mean all the Sorcerer Alliance's ladders could be connected into one long strip?”
Durken nodded, “In theory, that's possible, but it can only be done in the Void. In a plane, a ladder that's too long would be torn apart by various forces.”
The joined wizard's ladder formed a cohesive whole where creatures inside could move freely. Since there was no gravity in the Void, whether horizontal or vertical, as long as they got used to it, everyone's movement was easier than on the ground.
Since he was up on the ladder, Ange also took the opportunity to check the condition of the number one ladder, mainly because Negris wanted to see; Ange was the one being brought along.
“Can it form any combat strength?” Negris asked.
The one responsible for guiding them, Leite, shook his head, “No, the wizard's ladder's only weapon is the Oscillation Impactor on the main pillar. This weapon can only deal with large, stationary targets. The rest of the fighting is the responsibility of the airships, but more so, it's the magicians within the airships that are in charge of fighting. To form a combat force, we need a large number of people who can pilot airships.”
“So, at most, it's just a transportation tool?” Negris inquired.
Leite nodded helplessly.
“That's too useless. I was thinking whether it could form combat strength to launch a raid on the Annihilation Boundary,” Negris said disappointedly.
Anthony, on the other hand, had a different opinion: “No, no, no, Lord Nage, this is good news. If our wizard's ladder has little combat strength, it means the enemy's wizard's ladder also won't have much combat strength. Therefore, the lack of combat capability of the wizard's ladder is a good thing because the enemy still has at least five intact ones.”
“Eh, that's true too. If the wizard's ladders had strong combat capabilities, dealing with them would also be very troublesome for us,” Negris conceded.
After giving up hope on the combat capabilities of the wizard's ladder, Negris felt there was nothing more of interest and turned to ask, “How's Tom's breeding program going?”
Hey, that's a good question, Ange thought, lifting his head and withdrawing the hand he had stretched into the space.
