Chapter 2 The flames of war are rife

Pirate Field.

Sauron stood on the lighthouse and stared at the thriving harbor in front of him, and his whole person couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Navigation is a guide, the lighthouse is an important facility in a port, this lighthouse is two hundred and ten meters high and is completed with the help of the Witches' Council, the ordinary construction process is very troublesome, only witches can easily build such a tall building. Because of the existence of this lighthouse, the nearby routes have become much safer, and even from a long distance, you can see the light guiding in the dark.

The howling sea breeze came out of your face.

Standing here, Sauron could easily look down on the entire port, he gazed at the Temple of the Sea and the Temple of Fortune that had been built on the left and right sides, respectively, and muttered, "Pirate Realm. ”

"Pirates, as an industry, essentially belong to the [plunder] realm."

"But the true [Plunder] realm should be aggressive, full of other categories, such as the king of the gnolls, Yenogu, who is the god of the plundering realm, and the gnolls are not productive by nature, so they depend on plundering others to survive."

"Pirates are also a group of people who don't do anything."

"Without the rules I have made, they will have to survive by robbing other caravans."

"The limitations are still too great."

"Pirates are essentially no different from bandits, bandits, horse thieves, etc., except that because they are active on the sea, pirates are much more numerical than other robbery industries."

"The potential is too small."

"It's almost impossible to rely on the [Pirate] realm to get involved in the [plunder] realm, and it seems that it can only exist as an extended domain ability."

Sauron's hair fluttered in the wind.

After clarifying his thinking, he has a clearer plan for the future.

"Pirate [Domain]: You have unprecedented reputation among pirates, and this domain ability allows you to gain additional value in anything related to pirates. You'll gain the admiration, adoration, and following of other pirates more easily, and when you defeat a group of pirates, you'll be able to bring them to their knees more easily. During the battle, you can activate the [Pirate Domain], and any pirate within the range of the field will gain a Courage Bonus. The effect is equivalent to the six-ring spell 'High Valor'. This capability is a domain capability and has domain priority! ”

[Note: Dread Divinity and Legends have enhanced the effects of some pirate realms.] 】

………………

Such is the competence of the field of piracy.

Each realm has a special ability, and the Shadow Realm is able to travel through the Shadow Plane at will.

"High Valor [Six Rings Spell]: This is an enhanced version of Valor, which can greatly boost the courage of others. After blessing High Valor, the target will temporarily gain a morale bonus of +4, be immune to any fear effects, and temporarily gain an extra life equal to your cast level in battle, up to a maximum of 20 additional temporary life. ”

Guts.

It can make people stronger, and some people who should have died have completed some feats because of the faith in their hearts.

This is a temporary health bonus effect like 'High Valorant'.

There are many such examples in reality. Many people who are so injured that they should die are fighting against death for time because of faith and courage!

The power of faith is so powerful.

Sauron's pirate realm is enhanced by fear divinity and legend, and the exact effect cannot be determined, but immunity to fear is most likely a bonus effect of fear divinity, and the bonus of legend should be reflected in the morale bonus. Sauron has 10 wizard levels, and within the scope of the pirate realm, all pirates under his command can gain an additional 10 temporary health bonuses, which is close to the vitality of a class level.

Apparently.

The ability in this area is not to improve one's own combat effectiveness.

Sauron descended from the lighthouse and watched the pirate minions in the harbor who had just been dragged out of the tavern and taken away by the vigilant patrol for drunken fights. I couldn't help muttering: "Why do you always feel that you may go all the way to the dark on the pirate road?" ”

Pirates are too strong in his power.

Sauron felt compelled to develop some other powers, or train the pirates into real armies.

………………

When the idea is clear, the idea is clear.

In terms of strengthening the demigod ability, Sauron did not hesitate to choose 'fluent in language', 'proficient in writing' and 'interdimensional communication'.

Teleportation can be done by starting with the wizard level. Traveling across planes is the daily routine of high-level wizards, and Sauron's wizard class level is about to reach that threshold.

As for the ability of [Change Form], I don't need to think about it for a short time.

Sauron currently has no divine power, and it costs a lot to rely entirely on killing experience to master. Only the most important mastery can be chosen.

Proficiency in language and literacy play an important role in any plane.

Sauron couldn't always rely on psychic communication, and psychic communication was very spiritually draining.

Then there is 'interdimensional communication', which is the most important ability. Whether Sauron can take the initiative to control the connection with the demi-elves depends on this demigod's ability.

Theoretically.

Sauron is now in the transition period from a 'demigod' to a 'false god', and he has developed the ability to communicate with believers.

Right now.

All Sauron needs is to wait for a true devout disciple to contact him, and then use his ability to communicate across planes to tell him his true name!

- Sauron.

Maybe he can't give magic yet, but as long as he can communicate, it's a start!

………………

Fallen Leaf City.

The war has left this beautiful city in tatters, the city is crowded with fleeing refugees from all over the world, and the frenzied attacks of orcs and gnolls have spread to many places, and many towns and villages have been forced to flee to Fallen Leaf City, because only the city can provide them with shelter at such times. Those rudimentary fences could not stop the gnolls at all, and even the towering walls of Deciduous City were severely damaged during the days of siege battles.

Among the enemies are the traces of the Abyssal Gnolls, and the primitive and brutal giant trebuchets of the Orcs are immensely powerful!

They have the support of the Abyss Lord behind them.

The power of some of the siege engines was significantly beyond estimates, and this was not a trick that orcs could play.

The temple of the 'Half-Elves and the Wandering God'.

Even though the god had fallen completely, and even the idol had lost its brilliance and collapsed, his priest had not all gone.

Because of the loss of faith, life still needs to go on.

The attack of the orcs and jackals increased the pressure on the city's garrison, although the priests could not use magic skills, but the combat skills they trained back then were still there, they were not powerless spellcasters, they were wearing full-body armor and wheeling war hammers and could also cast spells. The priests also began to fight, fighting like a warrior on the front lines.

They are shepherds of faith, and they will not fall so lightly!

The faith in the gods is gone, but the faith that protects the city, the old and the weak, women and children remains.

The earth-shattering shouts of killing came.

A large number of refugees had gathered in the temple, but most of them were old and weak, women and children, and all adult men had been recruited as militia. What was once a sacred and glorious shrine has now been transformed into a refugee shelter, filled with the cries of children and the weeping of mothers comforting their children, all of whom have lost their loved ones in the war.

They lack food.

The orcs attacked before the crops were ripe, and a young and beautiful mother who was hungry and had no milk to feed her child burst into tears. Even though she had squeezed her dried-up breasts, she still couldn't squeeze out even a drop of milk to satisfy the hungry and crying child in her arms.

She hadn't eaten in days.

There was a hint of sympathy and pity in the eyes of the others, but there was nothing they could do, because all they could share was porridge with clear water that could count the grains of rice.

The child's crying made the young mother's heart cut like a knife.

With trembling hands, she took out the dagger she was carrying from her waist, and a cold cold light appeared, and the young mother stared at the child in her arms and slit her fingers with the dagger.

Red blood flowed out.

She put her finger in the baby's mouth, hunger made the young child suck desperately, and the mother gently wiped the blood from the corner of the baby's mouth with her other hand, and finally a smile appeared on her pale and beautiful face.
