Chapter 37 The Chosen Beginning
Oak Island, Royal Naval Base.
The oak forest planted along the beach, which served as the facade of the island during the day, has now been submerged in the night.
Only the light from the lighthouse could barely make out its vague outline. In this quiet atmosphere, this place became a holy place for naval operations.
When the sea breeze blows up the shadows, you can even see bodies stacked in twos and threes, doing the most intense exercise.
"Huh~"
Unlike the pristine beaches, some of the lighthouses set up along the coastline are just quiet and lonely.
The dark tide, supported by the strong wind, suddenly hit the lighthouse standing on the rocks.
"Bang"
"Why is it noisier today than yesterday..."
Suddenly, the ten-meter-high wave had not dissipated like foam in the air, and a new wave was rising in the raging tide, rolling with great momentum, continuously.
Inside the lighthouse, Old Barton was leaning on the sun lounger, muttering to himself, looking up at the stars outside the dome with dull eyes.
As a former navy sergeant, he had been dealing with the sea all year round. He had long noticed something unusual about the sea tonight from the sound of the waves.
But Old Barton didn't make any move to investigate. He just kept stroking the silver pocket watch in his palm.
When he thought about the tragic deaths of his relatives during the Backlund attack, he had not had time to investigate the reasons.
The Marquis of Bourne transferred him directly here to guard the lighthouse. Old Barton, who was filled with anger, picked up the wine bottle in his hand and drank the last sip of wine.
"Um?!"
When Rabaton opened his eyes again, not only did the roaring sound of waves echoing in his ears suddenly disappear, but even the sound of the wind stopped.
The sudden silence in the sea caused Old Barton's expression to change drastically. He subconsciously stood up and looked out the window.
In just one glance, Old Barton's expression completely froze on his face. He saw that the sea level was retreating rapidly. Looking at the dim light of the lighthouse, countless marine animals were stranded in the shallows.
At the same moment, dark clouds surged in all directions over the distant sea area, and thousands of thunders danced in the clouds, like a doomsday disaster.
In the sea under the thunder, a huge wave stretching for thousands of meters and tens of meters high is taking shape at a rapid speed.
"Oh, there's a storm above, I actually saw a tsunami in the shallow sea area!"
After Old Barton recovered from the shocking scene in front of him, he did not pick up the bronze hammer as a lighthouse guard and ran towards the bell tower.
He knew very well that in the face of a tsunami of this magnitude, unless the Cardinal of the Church of Storms took action, not many people on Oak Island, which is surrounded by the sea, would survive.
Old Barton murmured to himself, then sat back on the sun lounger. After drinking the last sip of Enmart's rum, he looked calmly at the photo in his pocket watch, his eyes full of memories.
"Boom!"
In a matter of seconds, thousands of lightning flashes across the sky, and incandescent lightning instantly turns night into day.
At the roar of thunder, Old Barton subconsciously turned his head and looked out the window. Facing the roaring waves, he seemed to see a figure bathing in the thunder from high in the sky.
The next moment, a huge wave of tens of meters fell down, the lighthouse collapsed, and Old Barton, with his hands clasped together, instantly lost consciousness.
"It seems that the environmental death caused by the tsunami is not counted as my kill..."
[Tip: You destroyed Oak Island-the Royal Navy Base, causing slight changes to the world structure, and you obtained 3% of the source of development.]
[Tip: You killed a huge number of the Royal Navy of the Kingdom of Loen, and you obtained the ungraded title*8.]
At Paradise's prompt, Wang Changle moved his slightly numb body and put away the charred heart in his palm.
Standing in the sky, he nodded with satisfaction after overlooking the naval base below that was destroyed by huge waves, Oak Island that was mostly submerged, and the dozens of broken battleships.
Originally, Wang Changle really wanted to use the method of "illusion disguise" to sneak into the naval base unknowingly, and then bombard Oak Island to recreate the "Tyle Murder Case" with living corpses and spiritual bodies.
But when he looked into the distance again and saw several battleships stationed at the Royal Navy base, he immediately gave up the infiltration operation.
Under the huge firepower gap between the battleships, if Wang Changle wanted to rely solely on [Beacon of the Dead] to capture Oak Island without exposing his own abilities, it would definitely take a lot of time and variables.
What he lacks most now is time, and any unstable factors that may cause problems must be eliminated as soon as possible.
After some thought, Wang Changle finally decided to use [Heart of the Storm] to launch a tsunami to capture Oak Island, and then use [Beacon of the Dead] to control the spirits and living corpses to launch an attack on Pulitzer Harbor.
Not only can it achieve its goal efficiently, but it also has the remaining spirituality of [Heart of the Storm], and it can further prove that it was Nite who killed the Cardinal.
The only uncomfortable thing is that when using [Heart of the Storm] over the sea, the frequency of being struck by lightning is too high.
If it weren't for Wang Changle's extremely high body defense, he might have been chopped into a ball of charcoal before the tsunami was successfully triggered.
"Dimensional airspace, open!"
Thinking of this, Wang Changle's eyes flashed, and he disappeared from the sky in an instant amid the fluctuations in space.
When he reappeared, he had already landed on a cruise ship docked several sea miles away.
"Woo~"
In the short sound of the ship's whistle, the cruiser that was cutting through the waves started quickly and soon arrived in the waters where Oak Island is located.
Upon seeing this, Wang Changle immediately entered the 'super-sensory' mode. While searching for the fish that had slipped through the net, he was also sensing the fluctuations of the extraordinary characteristics remaining in this sea area.
Although the large-scale death caused by the tsunami is not completely counted as Wang Changle's kill, the 'immortality' characteristic of the extraordinary characteristics will not be changed. As long as it is found, it can be regarded as an additional benefit.
"Fu"
At the same time, a white mist was released from the bone cross embedded in the deck.
After the cruise ship separated, it quickly floated up and down on the rough sea surface, and quickly spread into the distance.
The unique aura of the spirit world drew the spirit bodies with tragic deaths towards them, and the floating corpses soaked in the sea opened their eyes one after another and began to mechanically swim towards the cruise ship.
"Buzz"
This situation of swimming around on the sea collecting living corpses and spiritual bodies gradually eased down until the dim light of dawn appeared in the sky.
After sensing that nearly a thousand food and spiritual bodies had been accumulated in the cabin, Wang Changle immediately gave up the idea of searching for extraordinary characteristics.
When the spirit surged, the cruiser instantly changed its direction and sailed straight towards Pulis Port.
I don’t know how long the voyage lasted, but Old Barton, who had already died and turned into a living corpse, suddenly opened his eyes and stared blankly at the environment of the cabin, his voice could not stop trembling.
