Chapter 714 - Fallen into a Trap

Chen Li could not hold it in any longer and knock on the table heavily. “Why did the ghouls appear again!”

“This…”

The believers of the Holy Court could not answer this question at all and could only lower their heads, ready to be reprimanded.

Chu Yan said, “Lord Bishop, when we fought with the vampires previously, we did not find any traces of the ghouls.”

Chen Li held back his anger and waved his hand to signal for the believers to leave.

What should they do?

What should they do now?

The vampires were severely injured, and so was the Holy Court. There weren’t many means to support them now, and there were only a few teams. What else could they do besides passively defending?

What was even more hateful was the trap they set at branch node No. 6.

Until now, the ghouls hadn’t stepped into the trap!

Seeing the hall fall into silence, Chu Yan said in a low voice, “Bishop, I suggest that we consider ending the plan ahead of time.”

Chen Li suddenly turned his head, looked at Chu Yan, and said coldly, “What did you say?”

Chu Yan had already made up his mind, he said, “Bishop, the enemy is very strong. More and more vampires will come to act as reinforcement. In addition, the central nodes of the magic array have been destroyed one by one. We don’t have enough power to suppress the vampires anymore.”

“If we continue, we won’t have the advantage. I think we can choose to give up on the central nodes of the other magic array branches and gather the existing personnel. We can think of ways to obscure and preserve our strength.”

“In addition, we have already eliminated a large number of vampires and a count of the vampires. Our operation is not considered a complete failure.”

“Oh right, we’ve also obtained important information about the vampires and the undead. This is of great strategic importance to the Holy Court.”

Chen Li stared at Chu Yan.

Indeed.

With these gains, he could also report to the headquarters of the Holy Church.

He had really done his best.

But…

He was not willing to accept this!

Chen Li was not able to reconcile with this result.

After spending ten years of planning and so much effort, he had only killed one count of vampires. Moreover, the vampires in the entire Victoria City had not been completely cleaned up yet.

The result now was far too different from what he had expected!

“Lord Bishop, no matter what your choice is, we need to make a decision as soon as possible.”

“It’s not the end yet. Don’t say such words in the future. I will get Luo to bring some people to support branch node No. 1. We will shrink the defensive line… let Emma come in for a moment.”

“Yes, Lord Bishop!”

Chu Yan clenched his fist as he spoke.

Chen Li saw that Chu Yan was still standing where he was and asked with a frown, “Chu Yan, is there anything else? If you still want to persuade me to give up, there’s no need to say it.”

“Lord Bishop, if you insist on continuing, I have another method that can completely reverse the situation.”

“Oh?!”

Chen Li’s eyes lit up. He leaned forward slightly and asked, “What is it?”

“I have just learned of the undead’s next move through the Inhumans under my command. They have already joined forces with the vampires. We think that we can set up a trap in advance and eliminate all the undead and vampires in one fell swoop, but the prerequisite is that we need you to personally participate.”

“Me?”

“Yes.”

Chu Yan explained in detail, “The undead have already learned that the central node of the Magic Array No. 6 has been ambushed, and they are closely observing it at all times… we know that their next target is the final structure point of the Magic Array No. 4… If you are willing to trust me…”

After listening to Chu Yan’s general arrangements, Chen Li closed his eyes.

Chen Li frowned, “But the main magic array needs to be controlled. Once I leave, the effectiveness of the magic array will be greatly reduced.”

“Lord Bishop, forgive me for being blunt, but we have nowhere to retreat. This is already our best chance. Moreover, the magic array has no effect on the ghouls, and only you have the ability to seal a large number of ghouls. If we can successfully defeat the vampires in one fell swoop, all the disadvantages to us will be completely reversed!”

Chen Li was a little shaken. “What’s the success rate of your plan?”

“If it’s just me alone, it’s less than 10%. But with your help, the success rate will definitely be 100%.”

Chu Yan said in a deep voice, “I swear in the name of the Holy Light that my plan will definitely succeed and we can kill all the ghouls.”

Chen Li thought for a while and nodded. “Alright, I’ll go with you to meet those ghouls.”

“I won’t let you down, Lord Bishop.”

Hearing Chen Li agree, Chu Yan felt completely at ease.

He could already feel that he was one step nearer to getting the position of the regional bishop.

…

At the large warehouse area by the sea and at the periphery of the pillar of light that soared into the sky, a large number of bats circled around the surrounding area.

Meng Hao and Ah Ding were waiting in ambush in a high-rise building at the edge of the building.

They had received the game mission half an hour ago, and had waited for more than thirty minutes without any movement!

Ah Ding couldn’t help but put down the binoculars in his hand. “Big Brother, we’ve been waiting here for a long time. Why is there no movement yet? Could it be a cover?”

“Don’t worry, it’ll come.”

Meng Hao was very confident.

From the point of view of the mastermind behind the scenes, what would the other party do next?

The Holy Court and the vampires had fought to such an extent that both sides had already suffered heavy losses.

If it were him, Meng Hao would have gathered all of the vampires’ forces and attacked a single location. He would have relied on his hard power to gradually erode the other party, destroy the other party’s magic array, and take one step at a time to choose the most stable method of fighting.

As they were thinking, both of them received a hint from the game.

[Hint: Player has triggered a mission-attack the target node.]

Mission requirements: Attack the central node of the magic array in the area.

It’s here!

Upon receiving the mission hint, Ah Ding was instantly surprised. “Boss! It’s really happening!”

“Don’t rush over. Let’s wait a little longer. When the main group arrives, we’ll go in together with them. Remember, think of a way to find that Big Brother. Connecting with him is our main mission target this time. Do you understand?”

Ah Ding replied excitedly, “Yes, I understand.”

Through the binoculars, Meng Hao stared at the building in the distance.

Within a short period of time, all of the vampires in Victoria City had gathered under Fang Heng’s guidance. They once again circled high up in the sky around the pillar of light.

Following that, the vampires received orders to land from the sky and attack the warehouse from all directions!

The believers of the Holy Church in the warehouse raised their guns and fought back.

The flames of war broke out instantly.

In the basement of the warehouse, Chen Li was leading two high-tier judges and two teams of high-tier priests to guard around the second floor of the sealing stone.

At this moment, Chen Li heard the commotion outside.

Just like Chu Yan said, the remaining vampires in Victoria City attacked the central point of the magic array in the warehouse by the sea.

However, the ghouls that they really wanted to lure had yet to appear.

“Bishop!” A believer barged into the basement and reported loudly, “We found a large number of Lickers barging into the warehouse from the east window area. Our people can’t stop them.”
