Chapter 943 - 943 Necromancer Huang Yuan!
943 Necromancer Huang Yuan!
While Team Origin was resting and preparing, Lighthouse Territory was getting busy.
After receiving the notice, the squads, who were on various missions, quickly rushed back to the Lighthouse Territory to prepare for the battle.
A few squad captains gathered together and discussed.
“Boss Luo, why did you call us back so urgently? Is there something important?”
“I just asked around and got a rough idea of the situation. It seems like we have a conflict with a new territory.”
“What? It’s just new territory, and you summoned all of us back like this. Is it necessary?”
“Brother Lu, how have you been? We are all from the Blue Planet, so we must look after each other.”
“This new territory doesn’t seem to be ordinary. It’s said that it’s from the Blue Planet and is extremely powerful. A squad that went to fight previously has already been destroyed. Even Luo Rui might have died.”
“How is this possible? Luo Rui’s strength is powerful, but he’s the second strongest in our territory. How could he possibly lose in the hands of a new territory?”
…
The few captains chatted casually. Most of them didn’t care about this so-called new territory.
After all, in their opinion, the new territory was on a different level from theirs. There was no need to take it seriously.
One of the squad captains looked at Lu Dajiang with a strange expression.
He and Lu Dajiang were humans from the Blue Planet, so they had a good relationship.
Their two squads were also humans from the Blue Planet in the Lighthouse Territory.
Now that he knew there was a new territory nearby, and it was a new territory from the Blue Planet, his expression was naturally a little strange. He did not want to make a move.
However, he couldn’t say much in front of the Lakonians. He could only find an opportunity to ask Lu Dajiang privately in the future.
…
Late at night, in a stone house in the Lighthouse Territory.
Lu Dajiang and the others were waiting there.
Not long after, there was a gentle knock on the door.
A thin man with a face full of wrinkles walked in.
The man was less than 1.8 meters tall and was skinny. His face was all skin and bones, and his bird’s nest was deep. He looked a little terrifying.
When Lu Dajiang saw the man, he said enthusiastically, “Captain Huang, you’re here.”
The person who came was Huang Yuan, the captain of a squad of Lighthouse Territory.
There were a total of six squads in the Lighthouse Territory. Two squads were Blue Planet humans, while the remaining four were Lakonians.
The number of Blue Planet humans in the Lighthouse Territory was less than that of the Lakonians.
However, the status of the Blue Planet human was not lower than the Lakonian.
There were two main reasons for this. One was because of Lu Dajiang. After all, Lu Dajiang was the captain of the Lighthouse Territory in the past. He had a lot of prestige. Most of the members of the Lighthouse Territory respected Lu Dajiang very much.
The other reason was the thin man in front of him, Huang Yuan.
Huang Yuan was skin and bones, and he seemed extremely weak compared to other awakened ones.
However, no one who had seen Huang Yuan fight was not afraid of him.
It was because of Huang Yuan’s profession. He was a necromancer.
During the battle, he could summon a skeleton army to fight together.
As the battle continued and the number of corpses increased, the number of skeletons that Huang Yuan could summon would continue to increase.
Therefore, in a battle, especially a large-scale one, Huang Yuan played a vital role in the overall battle situation.
In addition, Huang Yuan’s style of doing things was also relatively ruthless. The members under his opponent were extremely strict. The training was too harsh that the number of people who died at Huang Yuan’s hands had reached double digits.
While everyone was afraid of Huang Yuan, the combat strength of Huang Yuan’s squad was also increasing rapidly.
Among the six squads in the Lighthouse Territory, Huang Yuan might not be the strongest in top combat strength.
However, in terms of overall squad strength, Huang Yuan’s squad was the strongest.
Huang Yuan’s squad had always been the strongest in the Lighthouse Territory.
Hence, Huang Yuan led his squad to battle outside all year round, carrying out the most dangerous missions. They rarely returned to the Lighthouse Territory.
He would only return to the Lighthouse Territory once or twice a year.
Huang Yuan and his squad were already used to killing and fighting. They were not even used to peace.
And this time, Luo Feng was careful and ordered Huang Yuan’s squad to come back to deal with Team Origin.
After the door of the stone house was closed, Huang Yuan, who had always been cold, revealed a rare smile.
Of course, this smile was not pretty. Huang Yuan’s face was full of wrinkles, and it was as ugly as a ghost’s face.
“This matter is not ordinary. They urgently summoned our squad back to deal with a new territory. Is there a need to do that?” Huang Yuan asked in a somewhat puzzled manner.
Even though they were summoned back in an emergency, Luo Feng didn’t tell them too much. He only told them to get ready for tomorrow’s battle.
Huang Yuan had only heard a little about it, so he naturally didn’t know much about it.
Wei Feng nodded slightly and said, “The matter is quite serious. Yesterday, Luo Rui led his squad into the depths of the Hallucinatory Forest to attack the temporary camp of Team Origin. In the end, none of them returned. According to the follow-up investigation of the experts we sent out, that squad has been completely wiped out. There’s no news of Luo Rui either. There’s a high probability that he’s gone.”
When Huang Yuan heard this, he sneered. “Luo Rui’s squad strength is just average. If it were our squad, we would easily wipe them out. However, it’s impressive for a new territory to be able to do this, especially when it seems to have killed the powerful Luo Rui.”
Huang Yuan didn’t put Luo Rui’s squad in his eyes. In his eyes, they were just a bunch of motley crew. They only had strength, but without teamwork, they didn’t have much courage, and their combat strength was poor. But Huang Yuan still respected Luo Rui’s strength. After all, Luo Rui was an expert with 18-star combat strength, much stronger than him.
“For a new territory to be so strong, it seems like there is something.” Huang Yuan’s expression changed as he continued, “I heard that this new territory is from the Blue Planet, right?”
Huang Yuan looked at Lu Dajiang strangely.
Huang Yuan was merciless and did not even care about human lives.
But in reality, this was only his outer appearance.
Those who were familiar with him knew he cared a lot about his people.
Huang Yuan was strict, causing many of his squad members to injure or even die during training. It was because Huang Yuan knew the dangers of the Wind Barrier.
The Wind Barrier was already extremely dangerous, and with so many powerful territories, it was even more dangerous and cruel.
It was the case for experts like them and even more so for ordinary members with mediocre strength.
Huang Yuan did not want to see his human comrades from the Blue Planet die on the sixth level of the Tower, so he trained them extremely strictly to help them improve their strength.
Huang Yuan knew that dying on the training ground was better than dying on the battlefield.
If one died on the training ground, at least their body would be intact, and the others could give them a proper burial.
If they died on the battlefield, it would be extremely tragic. It was impossible to have a complete corpse. It was likely that they would become food for fierce beasts and monsters.
Therefore, Huang Yuan trained his squad members very strictly. He was not afraid of them being severely injured. He would rather they risk their life to increase their strength so they could survive in future battles.
When Huang Yuan heard that they were going to fight a territory from the Blue Planet, he did not say anything on the surface was naturally unhappy in his heart.
Lu Dajiang nodded slightly in response to Huang Yuan’s question. “That’s right. They are indeed from Blue Planet. Most of them are from our Lighthouse Academy. Their captain has a good relationship with me and even saved our lives.”
When Huang Yuan heard this, he immediately became angry and scolded, “Lu Dajiang, what are you doing? Why did you agree to attack them? I’m only from the Blue Planet, not the Lighthouse Academy, yet I don’t want to attack them. They have a good relationship with you, but you still want to attack them?”
When Lu Dajiang heard this, he immediately said helplessly, “I don’t want to attack them either, but we’re now members of the Lighthouse Territory. We can be irresponsible to ourselves, but we can’t be irresponsible to our squad members. At first, we wanted to cooperate with the Origin Territory, but later…”
Following that, Lu Dajiang roughly told Huang Yuan about the recent events, including the cooperation in the Origin Territory at the beginning, the conflict later on, the escape route they secretly informed Liu Yan about, and the news of Luo Rui’s squad destroyed.
During this period, Lu Dajiang did his best.
It was just that his sense of responsibility required him to be responsible for the members of the Lighthouse Territory. Therefore, he was in a difficult position. He didn’t know how to help the Origin Territory without harming the interests of the Lighthouse Territory.
