Ch. 77 - Zhou Dai – part 1
Before departure, Zhou Dai organised a 14-person squad to conquer the island.
They prepared extensively, purchasing plenty of equipment.
Zhou Dai spared no expense to buy a revolver capable of suppressing regeneration — the "White Rose" — specifically to counter the wolves' self-healing abilities.
Other team members purchased weapons and armour as needed.
Shield-bearers in plate and chain armour were responsible for drawing and blocking the wolves' attacks. Others used crossbows and bows for long-range ones.
If wolves managed to get close, warriors were designated for melee combat.
In short, they were well-prepared.
The reason they were willing to unite for the expedition was that they had accepted a shared mission enticing enough to attract adventurers: "Oath Precursor Mission!"
It was first received by Zhou Dai from a peculiar undead being who claimed to have crawled out of the hull of the Radiant Goddess.
Like a pilgrim, it ignored Zhou Dai, rushed into the ship's prayer room, knelt, and began to pray.
Shortly after, the undead ignited in the radiant light of the Radiant Goddess, leaving behind only ashes and a sealed letter in a bottle.
Zhou Dai retrieved the letter and opened it to find:
【Oath Precursor Mission triggered: Retrieve the lost Holy Casket for the Radiant Church.】
