Chapter 52: Counterattack!
Overseas archipelago. Mordo City.
Today, Modo City is a little lively, because many residents of Modo City have gathered around the central square, and they are now looking at the center of the square with a curious face. In the middle of the square was a group of gray dwarves gathered together, who looked ragged, mostly dressed in animal skins, with long beards and beards that looked like savages. Around the square was a group of drow elven instructors, staring at them with a grim expression, and not far away was the priest of the temple, who seemed to be deliberating on how to settle the gray dwarves.
Suddenly arrived in an unfamiliar environment, and the gray dwarfs also looked a little panicked.
The number of them is not very large, only about two or three hundred people, and they are being watched by a group of residents of Modo City at this moment, although they see the Drow elves, the townspeople of the dark region, but these gray dwarves still have very nervous expressions. The inhabitants of Modo City are also well-informed, but their curious and onlookerly nature has not changed much, and many of them have seen gray dwarves for the first time. Probably because of their self-confidence as citizens of Modo, they were not afraid of these legendary evil races, but instead watched with curiosity on their faces.
Drow Elves are far more evil than Grey Dwarves in lore.
Don't you see that you are quite honest in Modo City, and you are tamed properly by Lord Sauron, and you get along well with other races?
Reputedly.
One of the Drow elves had fallen in love with an innocent half-elf girl, and their relationship was blessed by the bishop of the Grand Temple.
This is the city of Modo.
It's not like any city on the physical plane!
"That's it!"
The Drow Elf Instructor with a grim expression came to these gray dwarves and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency the High Priestess has arranged your quarters!" ”
"From now on, you are the inhabitants of Modo City."
"The target is to live in the blacksmith shop next to the barracks, and if you have enough to contribute in the future, you can also buy your own property in Modo City."
After a few casual explanations, the Drow Elf instructor ordered the gray dwarves to set off.
After all, the gray dwarves are an alien race, and it will take a little bit of things for the residents of Modo City to accept, so they can only live near the military camp for the time being, and also monitor and let them learn the rules of Modo City. The nature of the gray dwarves is not very good. But the laws of Modor City can domesticate them, and now the Drow Elf instructor in front of him is thinking about how to find an opportunity to beat these gray dwarves. Let them know that they have to be honest in order to live in the city of Modo.
The other side.
The figure of the high priest was sitting on the throne in front of the temple, and there was a priest and bishop of a senior rank nearby, she glanced around, and said slowly: "This is my lord's arrangement. ”
"These gray dwarves are the labor force that Mordor will need for the future development of the city. In the future, they will be handed over to you to watch, and there are still a group of gray dwarves that have not been brought back. ”
"In the future, the number of gray dwarves in Modo City will be around a thousand."
"You need to be careful here, don't let them have any conflicts with the inhabitants of Modo City."
The other side.
In the shadow plane laboratory of Modor City, Goliath also quickly received the news.
So, she immediately found the fallen witch she was studying, and said, "Mother. Sauron has sent someone to retrieve the grey dwarfs. Do you see when you started getting these gray dwarves to give us forging materials? ”
A floating tower requires a large amount of metal ingots.
None of these little things can always be done by the two legendary witches. Modo City itself does not have too good blacksmiths, and it takes a lot of energy to cultivate this.
Grey dwarves are natural blacksmiths.
With the help of these gray dwarves, not only will the progress of the Floating Tower be accelerated, but even the output of the Golem Factory will increase.
Now there are thousands of golems in Modo City.
………………
Wind spear hills.
After a night of indulgence, Sauron felt in good spirits, and after explaining some of the things to Adele-Isabella, he prepared to leave for the city of Mordor. He doesn't have much nostalgia for the two stunning noble maids, for a true god who is high, these things are just the pleasure of him occasionally relaxing himself, and as a god he always has a lot of things to deal with.
It's March.
The goddess of magic has not yet fallen. However, no one knew her whereabouts, and even Sauron could not take the initiative to find her.
There's going to be a big event this month.
That is the Demon Lord of the Abyss, Dagon, one of the ancient Orbis demons, who has returned from the previous two attacks of the other demons. Penetration into the oceanic realm of the material plane began.
This time, the operation has spread to the entire overseas region.
Sauron had participated in the war and had also been commissioned by the Church of the Sea.
Because the battle took place in the sea area, the impact on the land was not very serious, so most of the other gods were waiting and watching. But overseas is Sauron's territory. If Dagon is allowed to cause damage, the maritime trade of Modor City will definitely be affected. This time, he needed to lay out a little bit in advance. Reduced the amount of money Modo City spends on maritime trade. After the goddess of the sea and Dagon split a victory, they are considering re-arranging many overseas routes.
There is still about half a month before the outbreak of the war.
The Son of Dagon will reappear, and I'm afraid there will be more than one, as the ancient demon lord has many heirs.
The Naga will be the hardest hit.
The previous two demonic shocks had no effect on them, but no one could be immune to the Sage Tribulation, and this time the impact would probably have to be borne by the Naga themselves.
………………
City of Fortune.
In a hidden tavern, the ugly monkey looked at the subordinates in front of him and said slowly, "Are you sure this information was snatched from the shadow thief?" ”
In front of him was a middle-aged man with a cold expression, dressed capably, and said in a deep voice: "Sure." ”
"My subordinates have already sent someone to investigate."
"It's true that quite a few members of the Shadow Thieves have been found. However, the security inside is so tight that we can't infiltrate it yet. ”
Scandalous Monkey showed a hint of excitement on his face when he heard this, and said slowly: "I finally found these guys who hide their heads and tails." ”
"Leave the Temple of Rule."
"Let them send the assassins over! Maybe we'll be able to find the Shadow Thief's lair this time. ”
The middle-aged man nodded, "Yes." I'll do it now. ”
When the person in front of him left, the ugly monkey's expression gradually calmed down, and he muttered, "If I can kick out the shadow thief's branch this time, then I will have done a great job." ”
"Perhaps my lord Sauron will give him some reward!"
Come to think of this. The ugly monkey's eyes suddenly became hot, as a professional close to the legendary realm, he didn't have much to want.
He hoped that he would be one step closer, preferably by receiving the gift of divinity and divine power.
Because the ugly monkey hopes that if he dies in battle in the future, he can obtain the status of [Otherworldly Divine Servant] in Sauron's god realm.
………………
A day later.
Sauron has returned to the city of Mordor, and the High Priest has brought back some of the gray dwarves, which is undoubtedly good news. Because this means that Modo City already has its own ability to produce military equipment.
The Castle Lord's Mansion.
When Sauron returned to Modor City, he met Goliath as soon as he could.
However, to his surprise, in the past, Golia spent most of her time in the laboratory of the shadow plane, but this time she was quite leisurely in the hall dealing with the affairs of Modor City. There is also a cup of black tea from the East on the side.
"Huh."
Sauron glanced at the Northland Witch in front of him, then walked behind her and prepared to take her into his arms, and said slowly, "How's the progress of the Floating Tower?" How do you have time to sit here and drink tea today. ”
Gloria turned her head to look at Sauron, a quirky smile on her lips, and said softly, "Guess." ”
Beauty in the arms.
Sauron had just taken Golia into his arms, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and said in surprise: "This! …… This is! …… No wonder! …… No wonder! ……”
It's a little different.
Although it didn't seem to make the slightest difference, Sauron immediately sensed something was wrong after getting up close.
It's not Goliath!
Or rather, this is not Goliath's essence.
"Simulacrum!?"
Sauron looked up in surprise. looked at Golia, who was blushing in front of her, and put her hand directly under her long skirt, and then kept groping, and the more she touched it, the more surprised her expression became. muttered, "It's so magical! ”
"It feels so real!"
Golia's breathing was a little short, her beautiful face was already crimson, and she whispered, "The simulacrum itself is a spell similar to [True Mirror], so the avatar created is physical. ”
Sauron's fingertips flicked. I had already felt the soft and towering fullness from the hem of my skirt, and after a few strokes of my hand, I saw Golia's delicate panting.
His face was full of incredulity at the moment. He whispered, "Even this feeling can be simulated?" Looks like I'm underestimating the role of simulacrum! ”
This is simply the embodiment of the gods!
The effect of simulacrum is much more powerful than that of projection, and the two are not at the same level at all.
"How many spell abilities are retained?"
Sauron didn't withdraw his hand, but continued to play with it on the two white greasy, and said, "The magic equipment on your body shouldn't be simulated, right?" ”
Golia's breathing became more and more rapid, and she shook her head lightly, "Magic items are not good. ”
"However, eighty percent of the spellcasting ability has been retained. The avatar I have created can cast spells up to eight rings. ”
"But."
"The only spells I can cast are the ones I remember."
It's already pretty good.
Sauron listened and fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about the usefulness of the powers that simulacrum brings.
………………
Meanwhile.
Inside experiments on the shadow plane.
Goliath was working with the Fallen Witch on the craft of making a large floating ring, when suddenly Golia's breathing became chaotic, and even the spell control fluctuated slightly.
All the people present were legendary witches, and Corinna, the fallen witch, immediately sensed something unusual and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"Why is your face a little red?"
Golia glanced at her mother with some weakness, and then said, "Sauron is back. I was talking to him just now, and I was a little unfocused. ”
The Fallen Witch seemed to have thought of something, glanced at her daughter meaningfully, and then whispered, "Don't be distracted. ”
"If the production of this large floating ring fails, I am afraid it will be delayed for a long time."
"If you young people want to play any new tricks, let's wait until the evening to rest!"
Golia's face immediately turned crimson when she heard this.
She opened her mouth to explain something, but found that there was no way to explain this thing, and the more she explained, the darker it became, and she simply lifted the magic effect of the sirum.
………………
The Castle Lord's Mansion.
Sauron had just been holding Goliath and was studying the difference between the avatars created by the simulacrum, and after touching for a while, he found that almost everything was exactly the same, and the size and curves had not changed at all. But just as he stretched out two fingers to explore whether anything had changed within, Golia, who was in his arms, suddenly dissipated with the wind and disappeared in front of him as magical energy.
The effect of simulacrum is removed.
I don't know if it's the effect of the spell that Golia canceled on her own initiative, or if the time that this spell lasts has arrived.
Sauron didn't really care, either.
Anyway, this kind of thing can be studied slowly, and it is difficult for mortals to do two things, but it is easy for Sauron.
He himself has a demonic avatar.
If he succeeds in mastering the 'simulacrum', he will be able to control three clones at the same time.
The demon incarnation has about seventy percent of his strength, and the simulacrum can retain eighty percent of his strength at most, as long as Sauron's spirit can be controlled, plus the strength of the body is simply a combat power report!
One person can beat others in groups.
………………
"My lord!"
A middle-aged priest dressed in archbishop's robes walked in, and he bowed respectfully to Sauron, before saying, "The Stalkers have discovered the traces of the Shadow Thief Organization. ”
"If you can follow the vine, you might be able to find their nest."
Sauron was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Very good. ”
"Send more men at once."
"Let the temple mobilize a group of high-ranking priests to assist them! Notify me immediately of any news related to the Lord of Shadows. ”
The middle-aged pastor bowed and retired.
Sauron stood still and pondered for a moment, then sent out two magical messages: "A clue to the Lord of Shadows has been discovered. ”
"Be ready for battle."
There are two magic messages, one is sent to the eldest princess, and the other is naturally sent to the [God Ascender]-Eugene.
Only these two are qualified to play against the Lord of Shadows!

(PS: It's still a two-in-one chapter.) The magic of simulacrum was originally placed in the inside, but now it is gone. Explain it first, and then write slowly when you have time. (To be continued.) )
