Orlando was endowed with high-speed, and he quickly retreated into Wissen Castle along with the soldiers that got the command. The castle engulfed by the hazy moonlight would seem peaceful and calm if it was observed from far away, and it would seem like the soldiers on duty were already sleeping. They waited calmly for the looming storm without setting up defenses.
Yang Ling was trying to beat the enemy at their own game to lower the casualties. He planned to lure the enemy into Wissen Castle before using Restriction Spells to trap them and catch them.
Swoosh!
A faintly discernible noise echoed out, and the strange wave in the Danube River stopped at the riverside. As a splashing sound echoed out, a person’s head emerged out and looked around sneakily. This person had a sturdy body, and a hideous scar was on his face. His left eye was covered by a black eye-patch. This was none other than the father of Imiya that run amok in Wissen Castle in the past, and he was known as the great one-eyed pirate.
Hiss!
After the one-eyed man Xue Yeying verified that an ambush wasn’t in the vicinity, he let out a cry, and many people emerged out of the Danube River. Some of them were strange monsters that weren’t taller than a meter, and they had a fish head as well as the human body, and innumerable tentacles grew out of their bodies. They were cuttlefish that had a human head. There were also ten-meter-tall giant Whale Warriors that carried heavy hammers, and their number reached a thousand people. They were all crowding around a pretty young girl as delicate as a flower.
It could be seen that the young girl wore a long white robe that revealed her delicate feet, while her black hair fluttered with the wind. She had a pair of pretty big eyes, and a pair of folded white wings filled with feathers was on her back. She seemed like a graceful girl next door, yet she also seemed like an angel that didn’t belong to the mortal world.
“Ms. Eliza, the castle in front of us is Wissen Castle, and according to my Intel, the hateful lord Yang Ling is inside it. As long as our warriors rush inside, he won’t get to escape.” When the one-eyed man saw the familiar-looking castle and recalled his well-off days here, he gnashed his teeth, and as the hazy moonlight shone upon him, it seemed like the scar on his face started wiggling. It seemed quite hideous!
“Our mission is taking the head of the Magical Beast Territory’s lord Yang Ling. You should bear this in mind, and after we succeed, you must promptly retreat. After we finish the mission, we must still rush to the southern region to reinforce them and attack the Dark Association.” The young girl called Eliza seemed like an adorable angel, yet she spoke in an ice-cold tone as if she held a lofty position for a long time. She was an influential woman with ultimate power!
After Eliza instructed the crowd to cover their ears, she jumped toward a treetop and started singing in a soft voice. Her voice was pleasing to the ear and mellow, and it spread far away in this dark night. It was accompanied by mysterious energy ripples, and everywhere her voice spread, both the asleep common people or that hiding sentries became motionless like statues, and they felt unknowingly into a deep sleep.
“Siren Song?” After Yang Ling detected that something was amiss, he didn’t take this carelessly, and he aroused the Soul Crystal in his brain with his power. He released a Crystal Fog that engulfed the whole Wissen Castle and blocked the strong hypnotic song.
According to what the mermaid Evelyn had said, the Sea Demons were different than other members of the Sea Tribe, and the sole difference between them and common humans was a pair of wings. Their power was unfathomable, and their voices could hypnotize people’s minds like demons’ magic. This wasn’t just effective against humans traveling in the sea with ships, and even the Sea Tribe’s members would be hypnotized if they weren’t careful, and they would end up swimming toward the island where the Sea Demons stayed. They would be gone forever once they went there!
It was rumored that the Demon Island’s vicinity was filled with eerie white bones, and many people were buried there. Moreover, the Sea Demons also had a different belief and lifestyle than other Sea Tribe’s members, and this was they became a different species in the eyes of other Sea Tribe’s members.
Ordinary Sea Demons’ song could hypnotize people, and after they advanced into God-Level, their song would be called Siren Song, and it would be more terrible. It would let people descend into sleep unknowingly, and they wouldn’t wake before enough time elapsed.
“Is she a Low-Level Deity or a Mid-Level Deity?” Yang Ling used his Crystal Fog to block the terrifying Siren Song before he released a wisp of his Divine Consciousness carefully and tried to probe out Eliza’s power.
Sea Demons were a mysterious race to humans and the Sea Tribe, and the Demon Island occupied by them was even more mysterious. None knew the number of this race’s members, and none knew the number of their powerful experts. Ordinary Sea Tribe’s members only knew that the Demon Island’s influence was becoming greater, and many tribes awed by the Sea Demons’ great power decided to serve them in the past thousand years.
“Hurry up! The Siren Song cool down will occur in less than an hour. So, don’t pay heed to the sleeping soldiers and charge inside directly. You must cut off the head of the Magical Beast Territory’s lord before retreating promptly.” As Eliza spoke, she landed gracefully on the ground and passed down an order. It seemed like the Siren Song consumed probably a large amount of Magical Power, and this was why the woman’s pretty face was slightly pale, and it seemed even more fair and delicate as the hazy moonlight shone upon it.
“Charge there! Charge inside!”
“Ah! Charge inside!”
After the Sea Demon Eliza passed down an order, the Sea Tribe’s warriors shouted and rushed quickly toward Wissen castle that was near them. 100 Giant Whale Warriors with ten-meter-tall bodies took the lead and rushed like a gust of wind. The ground would shake with every step they took, and they gave rise to a storm of dust. They made a great disturbance, but the residents and soldiers patrolling in the vicinity fell into a deep sleep due to the Siren Song, and this was why they didn’t suffer any obstruction in the way.
“It’s fortunate that I have used the Crystal Fog in time to block the terrifying song. If I haven’t done so, everyone in Wissen Castle will probably descend into sleep, and anyone will be able to slaughter them.”
Yang Ling discovered through his powerful Divine Consciousness that the people in the vicinity of the castle had all fell into a deep sleep, and they didn’t detect anything. He had also seen that the Sea Tribe Army made their way through this land without suffering any obstructions, and this was why he couldn’t help but call it a narrow call inwardly.
Yang Ling furrowed his brows before he decided to deactivate the castle’s Restriction Spells, and he instructed the Magical Beast Army and soldiers to retreat. He would try to beat the enemy at their own game, and he would lure all their forces inside the Restriction Spell before launching a sudden attack. He would catch them all in one ago!
BANG!
A Giant Whale Warrior with tremendous force that carried a heavy hammer smashed the heavy castle gate, and as a BANG noise echoed out, the gate fell down. The murderous Sea Tribe Army swarmed inside, and Eliza that was escorted by a group of guards walked inside with a sword in her hands.
“Hurry up! It’s on this side, follow me.” The one-eyed man took the lead and led the Sea Tribe Army toward Yang Ling’s courtyard.
Wissen Castle was renovated several times, but its previous owner was still familiar with its terrain, and he could quickly lead the army through a road filled with broken rocks thanks to the Intel he got previously. He took a shortcut and went toward Yang Ling’s location with his teeth gnashed. It seemed like he wished greatly to hack to death his great enemy Yang Ling immediately.
“Something is fishy, and the surroundings are too calm. Could it be that we fell into the enemy’s ambush?” Eliza furrowed her brows, and as she pondered over this, she found it even fishier.
According to the Intel provided by the Church, Yang Ling wasn’t just protected by a God-Level Expert; he had also advanced into the Low-Level Deity Stage. The Siren Song could let common soldiers descend into a deep sleep, but it wasn’t too effective against God-Level Experts, and it could at most numb their bodies. Yang Ling shouldn’t be unable to put any reaction!
“Hehehe! Miss Eliza, you can set your mind at ease, even if you don’t fight, the Magical Beast Territory’s lord wouldn’t have managed to escape with me and my brother here.” A withered man as thin as bamboo laughed and spoke in objection. “All plots are useless in front of absolute power, and even if this was an ambush. This time, the enemy will surely die.”
“Hehe, that is right! I have heard that there are many beauties in Wissen Castle, and after we kill Yang Ling, I won’t say anything about the others, but we must at least take away the beautiful elf and fox girl.” A dwarf spoke before he looked around lecherously. He was a head shorter than the Sea Demon Eliza, yet he still carried a large ax bigger than him on his back. His face was filled with pockmark, and vitiligo turned a large part of the top of his nose white. He was so ugly that he couldn’t be any uglier, and he didn’t have to use makeup to work as a clown.
“Tsk, tsk. Those are the lord’s madams, and every person must get one.” the withered thin man wore a lecherous smile and ignored the disgust apparent on the Sea Demon Eliza’s face. It seemed like he was accustomed to this!
At first, the Sea Demon Eliza planned to order the team to stop, but after she saw the tall and short old monsters next to her, she furrowed her brows and didn’t say anything further. Those two guys were experts brought by the Sea Demon King from the Stormy Seas, and it was said that they had already trained to the peak of the Mid-Level Deity Stage.
On the first day they arrived on the island, they looked for more than ten Sea Tribe’s women and raped them, but after they got tired of them, they devoured their Blood Essence and souls. They were vicious and merciless, and they were more cruel and bloodthirsty than the old monsters recruited formerly by the island.
The Sea Tribe Army led by the one-eyed man went imposingly to the vicinity of Yang Ling, and they saw Yang Ling that sat cross-legged and motionless on the Great Wizard Altar. The bloodthirsty Sea Tribe’s members yelled and rushed inside crazily. Even the one-eyed man that wanted to take revenge wasn’t an exception, and he ran inside with his ax. But, the Sea Demon Eliza stayed in her former place prudently and observed the white Crystal Fog in the vicinity. She got a more intense, restless feeling!
This white fog was too strange, and the more she ventured in it, she discovered that her Divine Consciousness was obstructed further, and even though she didn’t detect any living organism’s aura in the vicinity, the restless feeling she had only became more intense. She felt like she had entered unknowingly, a region where the enemy set up a heavy ambush.
“Not bad, everyone came inside in one ago. It’s pretty good!” When Yang Ling saw the one-eyed man in the front that rushed at him recklessly, he sneered coldly and weaved hand signs. He instantly activated the layer upon layer of Restriction Spells here.
In an instant, the Sea Tribe Army discovered that the scenery around them changed and they suddenly reached a boundless primitive forest. Even the majestic Wissen Castle disappeared strongly, let alone Yang Ling that sat cross-legged on the Great Wizard Altar. The eerie primitive forest stretched for ten thousand miles, and they couldn’t see its end with a glance. A chilly wind was blowing over, and rustling noise echoed out ceaselessly. It seemed like many ghosts were hidden within the forest, yet it also seemed like a large number of pythons were closing on in them quickly.
