Chapter 583: Chapter 576: Door of Annihilation

The day after seeing off Lin Wei and the others, when Nina was still lingering at the station without leaving, a fully armed group of knights hastily arrived at the headquarters. They went directly to Wang Xu. After a brief communication, Wang Xu summoned the advance team and informed them that they were preparing for a mission.

"Um, Instructor, I saw the temple knights today." Hu Daoke said, eyes wide.

"Yes, this mission is related to them." Wang Xu nodded in response.

"What do they want us to do again? We’re not heading south again, are we?" Luo’er asked.

"On the contrary, you are not going to the south, but to the north this time." Wang Xu said.

"To the Snow Domain?" Luo’er asked, stupefied.

"Not that far," Wang Xu waved his hand, "The destination is somewhere between Lipei and the Holy City."

"What are we going to do there?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"Training, training the Church Court’s army!" Wang Xu said.

"Wait, how do you train the Church Court’s army? This isn’t about them wanting to use guns, is it?" Luo’er asked.

"You guys keep interrupting me, preventing me from explaining in detail. Now let me give a comprehensive account of the situation over there so you don’t end up being confused." Wang Xu said.

After a pause, Wang Xu continued, "During your journey to the south, a major incident occurred in the north. Between Lipei and the Holy City, a door to the Otherworld suddenly opened. According to the Church Court, the opening of this door was already recorded in a prophecy. This gate is known as the Door of Annihilation. It was first opened more than a thousand years ago during the reign of the Aud Empire. The king and soldiers of the Aud Empire made huge sacrifices to close this door."

"Now, the door has opened again, and the monsters from the other side have attacked this world. These monsters are known as Exotic Beasts, creatures from another world. They have no thinking, no intelligence, only acting on instinct, killing every other creature they encounter and using them as a food source. Since the downfall of the Aud Empire, suppressing the beasts of the Otherworld became the responsibility of the Church Court. They barely managed to control the situation after making huge sacrifices. However, the worst is yet to come..."

Letting out a soft sigh, Wang Xu continued: "In addition to being fierce, the Exotic Beasts can also spread a contagious disease. People infected with this disease turn into walking corpses, fearless, not feeling pain, only acting upon instinct. They kill other living creatures they encounter and transform them into their own."

"Zom, zombies?" Everyone involuntarily exclaimed.

"Well, there are some similarities," said Wang Xu, shrugging his shoulders and continuing, "But according to observations, these infected seem to simply want to spread the virus and do not feed on those they infect."

"This... we should inform the United Nations and dispatch a biological and chemical defense force, right? They want us to handle it?" Luo’er asked looking at him.

"Don’t worry, you are not required to directly face the Exotic Beasts and the infected. Your task is to assist the Church Court in establishing a force specifically for dealing with these monsters." Wang Xu explained calmly.

"Us?" Everyone glanced at each other in surprise.

"No, Instructor, you must be overestimating us a bit..." Hu Daoke said, scratching his head awkwardly.

"I didn’t ask you to help build an army, just to help train the Church Court’s new-army, mainly teaching them shooting and the modern combat system" Wang Xu explained waving his hand.

"So, when did the Church Court come to senses and realize that guns are more effective than swords?" Hu Daoke couldn’t help but ask.

"This is only for the new-type army. The other Church Court armies, such as the Judgement Legion and the Temple Knights, would not easily change their weapons unless Earth’s weapons could easily penetrate their proud armor. They will definitely not accept Earth’s weapons, so rest assured on that point." Wang Xu replied.

"Then why would the Church Court set up a specific army using Earth’s weapons?" Luo’er frowned and asked puzzledly.

"Good question," Wang Xu coughed and continued, "In combat with the Exotic Beasts and the infected, the Church Court found that swords and close combat weapons, when coming into contact with the body fluids of these monsters, have a high probability of causing infection. Therefore, they need ranged weapons to attack these monsters and avoid contact with their body fluids. As the ranged weapons of the Otherworld are basically trash, they turned their attention to us, hoping to use Earth’s firearms to fight the monsters."

"I see," Luo’er nodded, then asked, "But, I suspect that weapons alone may not be sufficient."

"Of course, so we will also teach them related protective measures, including assisting them with decontamination equipment and so on." Wang Xu replied.

"Giving away for free again?" Cheng Ziang suddenly asked.

"Um," Wang Xu nodded a bit awkwardly, then said, "Once this task is completed, we expect to have enough confidence to ask the Church Court for Lipei, so we need to give this away for free."

"No wonder when we arrived here, we saw the guards at the door were wearing decontamination suits." Tangmo understood and nodded.

"So, will the infection spread to us?" Luo’er asked with some concern.

"There are no signs yet, it is said that the Church Court has completely blocked the infected area, but we still can’t let our guard down. If the virus flows down the Roen River and spreads, then the problem could become serious." Wang Xu said.

"But you don’t have to worry too much, Audelanqi has blocked the banks of the Roen River to prevent the virus from attacking downstream via water. On the Masya side, Princess Melia has gradually taken control of the other side of the Roen River, and she assures us that she will not give the virus a chance to spread through Masya." Wang Xu reassured.

"I feel a bit apprehensive." Hu Daoke couldn’t help but express.

"Don’t worry, if the situation becomes uncontrollable, we will arrange for your return to Earth in advance. But for now, the situation is relatively optimistic." Wang Xu claimed.

"So, our task is to assist the Church Court in training a new army?" Luo’er asked.

"That’s right, you will follow the Church’s people to the north, meet up with the Church’s new army on the periphery of the epidemic, and teach them how to use the weapons. At the same time, cargo ships full of weapons will also advance along the Roen River, providing you with constant supply." Wang Xu confirmed.

"Do we have air support?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"Uh, not at the moment." Wang Xu replied.

"Didn’t we just rent an airboat from the High-peak people?" Hu Daoke asked.

"That airboat is to transport Princess Nina back to Ilanadale. After all, she is a guest at our headquarters, so we can’t have her take a commercial airboat back." Wang Xu explained.

"So, we do have a chance of calling for air support, right?" Hu Daoke said excitedly.

"Rest assured, once we get Princess Nina back, we will immediately come to support you. This mission is also extremely important, it’s about whether we can get Lipei, so I hope everyone gives their all." Wang Xu reassured.

"Do we need to help them close the Otherworld Gate?" Luo’er asked unexpectedly.

The reason for his question was that the Advance Team had ample experience in closing the Otherworld Gate, as the gate of Lipei’s Otherworld was originally closed by Tangmo and Baiyue, together with Shariya of the Church Court.

"No need, cooperating with their efforts would be enough. These people naturally know how to close the Otherworld Gate. Since the demise of the Aud Empire, closing the Otherworld Gate and maintaining the nations of the Otherworld has always been the responsibility of the Church Court." Wang Xu said.

"In that case, the Church Court isn’t all that bad!" Hu Daoke scratched his head and said.

"Describing the Church Court as good or bad is really naive!" Cheng Ziang couldn’t help but mock.

"What the hell, can’t the Church Court be described as good or bad!" Hu Daoke rebuked without hesitation.

"Enough, both of you stop it. Look at the occasion!" Luo’er said with a slight frown.
