It's getting closer and closer to the New Year.

However, this year seems destined not to be too peaceful, and the whole southern region has not felt any happy news under the successive disasters. An adult red dragon appeared near White Horse City, and although Sauron had known for a long time that there was a dragon there, an ancient red dragon, it was only now that others discovered its existence. The dragon caused a lot of chaos, attracting many adventurers who tried to slay the dragon, and threatening the surrounding cities to be on guard.

The red dragon is the evil of the existence zài.

The bureaucratic aristocracy took advantage of the dragon's savings to start increasing taxes, and under the pretext of guarding against the attacks of the red dragons, they could always find all sorts of excuses to collect additional taxes. The migration of orcs to the south near the mountains seems to have taken place, as the antagonism of the races has made the conflict in the region even more exciting, and it seems that war could break out at any moment.

There is very little information about the desert area.

However, it seems that the trade route to the east has been cut off by someone, and it seems that chaos is spreading in the desert area. There are no new cities to ruin, but more turmoil is still fermenting, and there seem to be traces of devil believers north of the city of wealth, and the demons have just been cleaned up, and the demagogic devils seem to have begun to appear. The appearance of cultists is becoming more and more frequent, and almost every city will have some more unfamiliar faces, and the elven court seems to have been classified, and there is a fierce dispute between the ancient tree doctrine of the druid and the doctrine of the gods.

It is rumored that some of the high-ranking druids who believe in the Tree of Life have fled, and even the legendary 'Earth Walker' is a little dissatisfied with the Elven Court.

The Tree Shepherds were on the side of the dividing druids.

As balancers and defenders of nature, their beliefs are more toward the Tree of Life than towards the Elven Gods. Druids have always been an intermediate force for the Elves, and while the Elves are gifted among other spellcasters, no caster class has more than the Druids. The matter is still brewing, and the conflict is still escalating, if there is no powerful force to intervene. In the end, it is very likely to lead to a split within the elven clan. The druids will split away from the Elven Race, abandoning their faith in the Elven gods in favor of the oldest tree of life.

This doctrine was supported by a large number of outside druids, while also being widely spread among other races.

They call it the "Druid's Revival"!

Among the humans, half-elves, orcs, half-orcs, and so on, all the wandering druids who were inspired by nature seem to be very supportive of the restoration of the oldest belief in the Tree of Life. As a result, the entire world of druids began to shift, with more than sixty percent of druids transferring their faith to the Tree of Life. The influence of the elven gods within the druids has been greatly reduced, and the various druid orders seem to be preparing something for the plot.

The power of the elven gods has declined!

Before the year of turmoil began, their power was already declining. This seems to be something that some Cunzài would be more than happy to see, and she has been waiting for such an opportunity for thousands of years.

The spider god is weaving cobwebs. She's waiting for the first prey to appear!

………………

Inside a gloomy canyon.

A tall, handsome figure was advancing, dressed in a noble robe and playing with a flute in his hand, as if he were a leisurely stroll in this very eerie canyon. A strange voice came, seemingly sharp and harsh, and he listened intently, then raised his hand to summon a ray of light. A dense shadow appeared in front of him, it was a vampire bat the size of a palm. There are so many of them that they almost fill this gloomy canyon.

Whew!

A gust of wind sounded, and an overwhelming array of vampire bats flew up, their sharp fangs. The wings were dark red, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, and when they flew, they almost obscured the sky in the canyon. With so many vampire bats, even legendary professionals are dangerous. However, the person in front of him did not have the slightest concern, he gently picked up the flute and blew it, as if it were a note from hell. Patches of vampire bats fell to the ground in black, their eyes, ears, mouths and noses spilling with traces of blood.

"Bang Bang!"

A clapping figure sounded, and a vampire god in a delicate dress appeared, he looked at the man in front of him, and smiled: "Worthy of the legendary poet of hell!" How dare you come here to find me alone! ”

Poet of Hell.

A name that is taboo in many places.

The man's face didn't seem to be the one in front of him, he glanced at Reinhardt indifferently, and said slowly, "Vampire God? Is this the only thing you can do when you become a god? Looks like you're not having a good time! I've heard that you've been hunted by a bunch of people like a lost dog! ”

The corners of Reinhardt's mouth twitched, but he still had an elegant smile on his face, and said slowly: "This is only temporary, after becoming a god, I have seen a wider world." An unprecedented opportunity is coming, and by seizing this opportunity, I will be able to stand on top of the gods, and no one will be able to stop me from ascending to the throne at that time! ”

The Poet of Hell smiled, his face a little playful, and said, "Really? Then you'll have to run away from my men first. ”

Reinhardt frowned and glanced at him, and said slowly, "Do you really want to fight?" Why are you on their side? What they can give you, I can also give you, and I am even willing to share a qiē with you. ”

The Poet of Hell smiled mockingly and said softly, "What you see is only the tip of the iceberg of the world, even if you want to cooperate with me, you have to show your worth." There are countless weak gods like you in the Pantheon! ”

The figure of the other party disappeared strangely.

As if an invisible sound wave spread, nearby vampire bats fell to the ground and died one by one.

………………

Viper Island.

Standing on the dock and looking down, Sauron had recruited hundreds of pirates in just three days, and now he had more than three hundred men under his command. Adele's heroic figure stood at the bow of the ship, next to the first mate promoted by Sauron, and now that he had enough strength, it was time to clean up the other enemies. Pirates don't need to be trained, they don't need to be trained, it's a survival of the fittest profession, the strong survive and the weak are eliminated.

"Let's go!"

Sauron landed lightly on the killer whale's head, facing the awe-struck gaze of the other pirates, with only a faint trace of anxiety in his eyes.

Because he heard a news that was not very good.

It seems that the Throatcutter's rumors had an even greater impact than he expected, even alarming one of the pirate kings who ruled the vicinity of the South Coast.

Pirate King 'King of the Mire'!

It was not a human, but a hybrid of a mire giant and a lizardman, and the intelligence of the giant life has never been high, but this pirate king is an exception. The chance of interracial gestation is very low, and it is said that it was born because of some forbidden spells, and lizardmen are amphibians that can move just as much on land as they do in water. The Mire King is one of the pirate kings who rule the South Coast, and his pirates include humans, lizardmen, fishmen, half-breeds, and more.

If it weren't for the exclusion of ethnic origin, its control over the South Coast would have been much stronger.

Each of the three pirate kings has its own affiliation.

Behind the Pirate King of the Amazon stands the Church of the Storm, who is the Pirate King who believes in the Lord of the Storm. Another Pirate King, who is half of Amazonian blood, is a non-human creature who has the support of the Naga Sea and worships the goddess of the sea. The last pirate king was the 'King of the Mire', who did not believe in any of the above gods, but instead gave his faith to the demon gods of the abyss.

That's the King of the Deep Ancient Demon [Dagon]!

There is a written record of the doctrine that goes like this: "In the mortal world, Dagon's cult flourished in the coastal areas, and its human adherents or devotees of mire giants (tidal giants, etc.) mated with half-fish creatures to defile their bloodlines in exchange for great power, abundant catches, and strange treasures from demon lords. ”

Yes.

The Lord of the Swamp is a monster born for some reason, defiling his blood in exchange for the power bestowed by the Abyss Lord 'Dagon'. However, an accident occurred during this ceremony, and the person in charge of the ritual did not please the evil Abyss Lord, and it did not gain much power, but instead the unexpected offspring that it produced during the profanity ceremony, the current 'Mire King', received the power bestowed by the Abyss Lord 'Dagon'.

So.

A monster mixed with the bloodlines of a lizard man and a mire giant is born.

Not only does it possess great power, but it also possesses demonic intelligence, which may seem crazy, but it has become one of the three pirate kings of the South Coast.

The pirate king commanded the waters of the south coast near the deep sea.

Its lair is said to be in a place called Alcatraz, where only the most vicious pirates come to it.

It's also the only pirate king who doesn't play his cards according to common sense!

Although the Pirate Kings have great power and power, they are also inextricably linked to the Church, and almost always act for their own interests and situations. The only one who likes to mess around is the one who likes to mess around, and if he is not satisfied with the resurgence of a powerful pirate on the South Coast and strikes at Sauron, then Sauron really won't be too sure of winning it.

He needs Vivien's strength!

Although Sauron could ask the Temple of the Sea for help, getting it also meant giving, not to mention that the news was told to him by the Naga priest.

Sauron still remembers the meaningful expression on the other party's face when he told this information!
