National Games: Hang up from the zombie apocalypse

"High Priest, I don't think we need to worry too much. Fang Heng's strength is nothing special."

Priest Darcy broke the silence, saying, "The divine authority did not originate from the Whispering Isle. In my opinion, Fang Heng probably obtained the divine authority through some other means. Gentlemen, do you really believe that he took down the false god of the Whispering Isle in less than four hours?"

"This amount of time is probably not even enough for one round trip."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

Indeed, there are suspicious aspects to this matter.

The false gods are quite powerful, and they also have special abilities that can influence minds. Even the people on the main island can't do anything about them for the time being.

Otherwise, the Island of the Sea God would have already seized divine power by force.

“I admit Fang Heng has some strength, but that’s all. Does he think he can contend with my Sea God Island?” Darcy chuckled coldly and continued, “In my opinion, we can just find a statue of the Sea God and send him away.”

"Indeed, it is still unknown whether Fang Heng has actually gone to Whispering Isle."

"I also think this kid really has the ability?"

"He must have something to hide, otherwise why would he be in such a hurry to leave?"

The group began to discuss the matter in hushed tones again.

"Quiet."

Sawyer felt a headache coming on as he listened to the commotion below.

He thought about it carefully and quickly came up with an answer.

Fang Heng's abilities are questionable, so he needs a safe and reliable solution.

“The Island of the Sea God has always kept its promises. Now that Fang Heng has handed over the divine authority to us, we will naturally act in accordance with the agreement.”

Darcy's heart skipped a beat, and he stopped him, saying, "Archbishop."

"No need to say anything more."

Sawyer glanced around at everyone, a smug look on his face, and said, "However, we only agreed to let him choose any deity statues on the Island of Sea God. We just need to bring people to move the few deity statues bestowed by the main island away from the Island of Sea God."

"Also, immediately report this matter to the main island of the Sea God, tell them that we have found a high-level divine authority, and ask them to send someone over to take over the divine authority immediately."

Darcy's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

That's a brilliant move!

By moving the highest-ranking deity statues from the island, Fang Heng will be unable to select the best deity no matter what, thus keeping the losses manageable.

Secondly, immediately invite the people from the main island to come and receive the divine authority.

On the surface, it was to get them to take over divine authority as soon as possible.

In reality, it's to have an extra layer of protection.

Even if Fang Heng is unhappy about causing trouble on Poseidon Island, the people on the main island of Poseidon Island will naturally deal with him.

In any case, they have already helped the main island of the sea god obtain divine authority and made great contributions.

Of course, the best-case scenario would be to simply provide some statues of deities to send Fang Heng away.

"Yes! Who do you think would be the most suitable person to handle this matter, sir?"

Sawyer thought for a moment, then glanced at the group of priests.

inappropriate.

This matter is extremely important.

It's safer to do it yourself than to delegate it to your subordinates.

"Forget it, I'll handle this personally. As for Fang Heng's matter..."

Sawyer's gaze swept over the priests, finally settling on Darcy. "Darcy, you are in charge of all affairs on the island while I am away. Do everything you can to delay them and keep them calm before the people from the main island arrive. Bridget, you will be Darcy's deputy. Help Darcy accomplish this."

Everyone responded in unison, "Yes!"

……

Island of the Sea God.

Seven warships of the Oz Empire were anchored in the bay.

Willow leaned against the deck railing, gazing into the distance.

Gazing at the sea brings her a sense of peace.

She had just spoken with Fang Heng about her communication with Sawyer.

She felt that the Island of the Sea God was just stalling for time.

She did not believe that Fang Heng would be able to obtain the high-level deity statue from the Island of the Sea God on this trip.

Judging from her behavior during the short period of contact with Fang Heng, she did not think that Fang Heng was a person who could tolerate being taken advantage of.

This could very well create enmity between the two sides.

Ok?
Suddenly, Willow noticed something and focused her gaze on several ships slowly sailing away from the port of Poseidon's Island in the distance.

The deity statue at the head of the warship emitted a purple light.

"The gods reacted strongly to those ships."

Willow observed the enemy's ships, beckoned her subordinates over, and asked, "What's the situation with those ships?"

"I don't know, but it set off from the northern harbor and seemed to be in a hurry."

Willow sensed something was amiss and took out her binoculars to look at the ship.

Huh?
Willow's heart skipped a beat.

Sawyer!
Is it him?

She had met the high priest of the island of Poseidon once before and was deeply impressed by her.

wrong!

Willow noticed something was wrong.

Shouldn't the High Priest be on the island overseeing things at this time? Why is he leaving in such a hurry?
Willow nodded and pondered for a moment before saying, "Someone come here."

"Your Highness."

"Activate the deity statues immediately and leave tracking marks on several ships."

The sea god priest nodded and said, "Your Highness, the other party's deity statue is very sensitive to energy, and leaving a mark is very likely to be discovered."

"Give it a try."

"Yes!"

……

Fang Heng also soon learned from Willow about Sawyer's departure.

Did Sawyer suddenly leave during this period?
That's strange.

Fang Heng vaguely sensed that the Island of the Sea God was stalling for time.

Therefore, as soon as the sun set, he immediately led his men to the tower to find the high priest Sawyer.

"I'm sorry, High Priest Sawyer has left on urgent business."

"Oh?"

Fang Heng looked at Bridget and asked, "What about my agreement with the Island of Poseidon?"

"Before his departure, High Priest Sawyer instructed that all affairs on the Island of the Sea God be managed by Priest Darcy."

As the two were talking, Darcy came out of the tower.

Darcy looked at Fang Heng and nodded, saying, "Fang Heng, you've come at the right time. I was just about to look for you."

"Oh? It seems you've already found out about your investigation of Whispering Isle?"

“No.” Darcy shook his head gently, looked calmly at Fang Heng, and said, “Unfortunately, our people have encountered a bit of trouble and haven’t completed the verification yet.”

Fang Heng's expression gradually darkened, and he said, "This is not my problem. It is inconvenient for me to stay on Sea God's Island any longer. Farewell."

"Fang Heng, don't rush, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Darcy stopped Fang Heng and said, "There's something you haven't mentioned. This is indeed a problem with the Island of Poseidon, so I've decided not to waste any more time. The Island of Poseidon is willing to trust you, so we can fulfill our agreement now."

Ok?
Brigitte's heart skipped a beat, and she kept giving Darcy meaningful glances.

What's wrong with Darcy?!

Didn't we agree to stall for time as much as possible?

Why did you agree to Fang Heng's request so readily?

Darcy completely ignored the wink Bridget gave him.

He must have had his reasons for doing this.

If High Priest Sawyer returns safely, the credit for acquiring divine authority will belong to the archbishop.

But if he could get things done before the archbishop returned, and then personally offer the divine authority to the priest from the main island...

Wouldn't he get to show off a lot?
Perhaps this opportunity could be used to transfer to another island of the sea god and become the high priest? (End of Chapter)
