326. What is at stake?
Now that the situation is very good, Gallo has gradually grasped the initiative of the Kingdom of the Dead, and is disintegrating and modifying the structure of the Kingdom of the Dead little by little, eliminating the influence of Modo.
At this rate, the lich will last for about ten minutes at most, and the entire kingdom of the dead will change hands.
Lal also continued to show off his might, holding an artifact, backed by the King of Angels, and having the absolute advantage of personality, bullying a single creature of poor quality, and just being restrained, even if he was just a ragdoll-like tabula rasa angel, this wave could crush the pretend.
In the process, Gallo also had an in-depth understanding of the current existence and internal structure of the realm of the dead, and saw clearly the various modifications and arrangements made by the previous Grim Reaper before his fall.
I have to say that the Grim Reaper's attainments in this area are still very deep, and this kingdom of the dead has very delicately integrated the lich inside, so that each of them is providing power to the kingdom and maintaining the existence of the kingdom.
Even the more powerful necromantic creatures, such as the Bone Dragons, Death Knights, rare Spirits, and Wraiths, are being sucked into power.
However, this consumption is not much, and the environment here is very suitable for the survival of necromantic creatures, so that their power consumption and growth are in a good proportion.
Although the consumption is still more than the growth, and it is impossible to achieve perpetual motion, as long as there are more than ten lichs and the necromantic legion under their command, it is not a big problem to support hundreds of thousands of years.
This idea and line of thought is similar to allowing believers to directly share in the consumption of a kingdom of God, rather than the normal kingdom of God being borne by the authority of the gods, and believers are only the basis of their existence. It also replaced normal believers with necromantic creatures, which is not a normal active belief, but an active absorption.
Can it be regarded as a passive crowdfunding kingdom?
The traditional way, although it consumes a little more, is better than complete control, not prone to accidents, and does not depend on the number of believers.
Although the consumption of the Grim Reaper's thinking is low, the degree of dependence on believers is also much greater, and various unstable factors are prone to occur.
For example, now, with Ral's slaughter, the lich below who has no way to escape has fallen one after another, and the necromantic creatures have disappeared in large numbers, and the entire kingdom has begun to shake significantly.
If this continues, the whole kingdom can easily collapse suddenly.
But this is a good thing for Gallo, which helps to speed up the current process, and the in-depth analysis of the realm of death also gives him a new idea of modifying this place into a cage later.
After clearing all the necromancers, Gallo has already prepared a plan for the question of how to support the kingdom, and the half of the authority he snatched from Visa is ready to take over at any time.
However, it is feasible to support the consumption of the two kingdoms of God with half of the authority at the same time, but it will greatly increase the loss of authority, and if Gallo can't think of a way to replenish and maintain the authority, the authority will be lost, causing the two kingdoms of God to collapse together.
Gallo got some inspiration from the modification of the Grim Reaper, which can actually be reversed, using a new cage to imprison Eas, and let him passively bear the consumption of the two kingdoms of God; Or take authority away from Him and use His three powers to maintain the two kingdoms of God.
Isn't it beautiful?
"But is this Aaras really going to sit still? He's not that cowardly, is he? Do you really not do something? ”
Gallo muttered under his breath, watching Lal commit murder in front of him, and inevitably his hands were a little itchy.
However, it was daylight, and he disdained to attack these inferior necromantic creatures.
It can be enjoyable to have an evil god to kill......
Unfortunately, Earas seems to be unresponsive?
It stands to reason that he should be able to feel a little bit of movement here, right?
And right now, it is a great opportunity for him to make a move, Gallo is busy robbing the kingdom of the dead, so naturally he is flawless and personally attacked, and there are three places where he needs to defend, even if he sends an angel to guard it, but it should not be the opponent of the true god of Eas.
"Such a God-given opportunity, this thing really doesn't move?"
"Isn't this going to be worse than Visa?"
Gallo couldn't help but muttered under his breath.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a slight vibration from the two runes he had left for others, indicating that someone had used his power in the distance......
-----------------------
Long before Gallo began to act, on the side of Yanan City, Artanis was in a griffon knight's message.
With the loss of the kingdom of God and banishment to the outside world as cannon fodder, the remaining Visas have lost their last hope, and the remnants of the power have collapsed in an instant, and the believers have either committed suicide on the spot, scattered and fled, or joined the Miya cult and the Easi cult respectively.
Because the Miya Sect was more powerful, it naturally gathered more of its manpower, and it was transformed from a sudden alien force to the largest and strongest faction in Yanan City.
Artanis, with the help of the angel Cross, took over the city of Anan before the Winter Festival.
Today's Miya Sect is no longer saying that it has a firm foothold, but it has completely controlled the whole city.
On the Empire's side, the Pope also actively roamed, and through the sect's network forces, he set up a long-range air supply line at an incredible speed.
This is with the support and cooperation of the major chambers of commerce in the empire, the air supply line based on floating boats has continuously transported a large number of personnel and material supplies to Yanan City along the trade routes between the two countries before.
They no longer need Gallo to help, they can guarantee the manpower and materials on the side of Yanan City.
The Divine Light Sect really lived up to Garlow's expectations and completed this sacred expedition perfectly.
They even held a small-scale winter festival in Yanan City with great interest to make up for the regret that the expeditionary soldiers could not celebrate the festival.
Although the scale and liveliness cannot be compared with the territory of the empire, the atmosphere is good, quite warm, and the wealthy Artanis, with a wave of his hand, distributed a lot of materials to the believers, and even took the opportunity to preach and gather a group of believers.
The Miya Sect was too strong before, and the sudden arrival of an angel caught the cultists off guard, and they almost lost the control area in a hazy way.
But they also took advantage of the lack of manpower in the Miya sect and successfully escaped a large number of living forces.
Artanis wanted to chase them, but unfortunately there were not enough people, so they could only let them go for the time being and start settling down in the city.
As a result, at the moment, the Griffin Knight has sent back information that a large number of cultists are gathering not far from the city, and it seems that they are planning to retake Yanan City?
There were probably more than 20,000 of them, and it seemed that in addition to those who had fled before, they had also received reinforcements from cultists in other regions.
The garrison of Yanan is currently only about 3,000 men, but they have walls and moats, as well as heavy ordnance such as bed crossbows and trebuchets, and angels are in charge.
The other party has no siege equipment and no mage, so if he rushes up like this, even if he has an advantage in numbers, he will be killed.
Artanis realized that there must be something wrong with this, and that the other party was probably going to use the power of the evil god.
So he hurriedly went to the angel Cross and reported the matter to him.
Since Cross was sent by Gallo to defend Yanan City, there have not been many times when he has personally intervened, and he often only needs to release coercion to solve the problem.
He spent most of his time in a makeshift room of oracles, half-kneeling in front of a makeshift statue of Mia, praying silently, very quietly, rarely speaking, and not allowing the faithful to be seen.
His appearance looks like a human woman, without wings and halo, her appearance is very pretty, with a holy and noble aura on her body, and she also restricts her coercion to a minimum, and she really looks like an ordinary human beautiful girl.
This is the energy-saving mode specially designed by Gallo for the angels under his command according to his own situation, in this case, their consumption will be much lower, which is also a new model to be promoted on a large scale in the future.
After hearing Atanis's report, Cross's eyes, which seemed to be forever closed, narrowed a thin slit slightly, looked out the window of this humble oracle hall, and said after a long absence:
"Be careful, I have a bad premonition."
"The king is on a big business, and he cares about this side without flaw......"
Halfway through Cross's words, he suddenly stood up suddenly, his body flashing with white light, and he had already changed into a mechanical armor specially designed by Gallo.
"Prepare for battle, the enemy is coming!"
He said another word, and two bright rays of light burst out from the shoulder blades behind him, and gradually condensed into the shape of a wing, and in the center of the wing, that is, the position of the vest, an angelic halo also appeared.
After turning back into an angel, Cross directly spread his wings and flew high, hovering over Yanan City.
Then, he drew a shining sword from his waist and tapped it lightly with his other hand, playing a melodious melody.
After hearing that melody, ordinary believers originally planned to worship, but they felt a strong sense of sleepiness hit them, and they fell asleep directly.
This is a kind of protective hypnosis, which allows ordinary people to keep their minds stable and not be affected by all kinds of inexplicable things in the following battles.
While he hypnotized the faithful, Atanis was busy gathering the unaffected warriors and preparing for battle.
And almost at the same time that Gallo made a move on the realm of the dead, a series of spatial fluctuations suddenly came from a certain area in the sky of Yanan City.
A huge black vortex gradually unfolded in the air, and from the deep darkness in the middle, a large stream of viscous black substance poured out, looking like the original blue canopy of the sky, as if someone had painted it with an ink pen.
The black substance fell to the ground and split into two pools, quickly condensing into different forms.
One of them turned into a humanoid creature with only its upper body, with more than a dozen large and small human faces on its head, as if countless human faces had been pasted on top of the black mud.
The humans, with expressions of pain, struggle, twisting, and weeping, appeared to be in great pain and looked extraordinarily penetrating.
The warriors defending the city did not dare to look at it at all, and as long as they looked at it for a moment, they felt a wave of dizziness and unsteady on their feet.
And the upper body of this monster has a pair of thin and long claws, and there is no lower body, just like a soft mud monster wriggling and flowing.
As its form gradually solidified, the dozen or so humans above its head let out all kinds of piercing and strange screams, as if crying, screaming, lamenting, and roaring were mixed together.
And the coercion coming from its body indicates that this thing is an evil god puppet, similar to the old 'acquaintance' that Gallo met in the City of Innocence before.
The moment the awake warriors heard the strange scream, they felt a wave of despair and fear welling up in their hearts, and began to gradually fall into the abyss of madness.
Thankfully, the heavenly Cross began to strike the sword with greater force, and the power of authority from the 'dream' blessed the warriors, allowing them to enter a wonderful state that seemed to be awake and seemed to be in a dream.
This is a special use of dreams, allowing people to maintain this wonderful state of 'lucid dreaming', like some kind of controlled sleepwalking, which can block out the sounds made by the evil god puppets and move freely.
After roaring for a while, the two giant claws of the evil god puppet also began to crawl on the ground, approaching Yanan City step by step.
At the same time, another stall of black mud gradually took shape.
The pile of black mud was much larger than the puppet, and a black hill was piled up on the surface, and the black matter on it was constantly flowing and twisting, gradually turning into a structure similar to a large tree.
The big black tree looked taller than the walls of Yanan City, its trunk twisted and tangled, and dark red tendons protruded, like thick blood vessels, and the whole tree seemed to be alive.
On the black branches of the surrounding trees, there were fruits that looked like human heads, and on each surface appeared human faces, all of which were full of pained and distorted expressions.
From the entire tree, there were bursts of terrifying and suffocating coercion, and without Cross's protection, the entire defenders of Yanan City might have collapsed in an instant.
This tree is the son of Aaz and the servant of God, the pillar of lies, the tree of Moros.
He actually descended in person, and with a powerful evil god puppet, he approached the city of Yanan.
Not only did he come, but in the camp where the cultists gathered in the distance, there was suddenly a large smell of abyssal demons, and as a portal opened, one after another huge demons streamed out of it.
Among them, there are many powerful individuals like tyrannical demons.
This is the Seventh Demon Lord of the Abyss, a subordinate of Cyrus.
It was both Morros's father and one of his brothers.
Father, son and brother shot together, and they were bound to deal a fatal blow to Yanan City!
And at this time, Gallo is at the most critical moment, and he can't be distracted at all, Yanan City seems to be in danger?
