Chapter 59: The Eve of the Great War!
The murky waters are dark red.
There were still a lot of dead fish floating on the surface of the sea nearby, most of them were poisoned, and the corpses of the Naga could be seen in the distance. In addition to this, there are many manta rays that look very hideous. It is clear that there has just been a great war, but the two sides of the war are not the land races, but the Naga and other marine creatures that inhabit the ocean. Many of them are sea creatures rarely seen in the material plane, including deep-sea lurkers that can only be seen in the bottomless abyss.
"It's a Dagon believer."
A half-elf of a priest looked at the sea with a serious expression, and then said to the entourage behind him: "Send the news back to Modo City immediately, it seems that the Ocean Temple has started a war with the Demon Lord-Dagon!" ”
The battle for the deep sea has broken out.
After accumulating strength for so long, the Abyss Lord-Dagon finally couldn't help but challenge the Goddess of the Sea.
He himself is the demon of Orbis who rules the deep sea, and wants to seize the authority of the ocean of the material plane, and the goddess of the sea is an enemy that Dagon must not bypass, and it can be said that it is difficult for Dagon to reach his tentacles into the material plane without completely defeating the sea goddess.
………………
Overseas archipelago, Modo City.
As March draws to a close, the onslaught of the Sage Catastrophe strikes again.
Sauron frowned and looked at the information sent back in front of him, and muttered, "Has it really started?" I'm afraid I'm going to have to prepare to deal with the Lord of Shadows. ”
There was a lot of information sent.
First of all, the orcs finally went to war with the steppe elves, and still won a great victory, seizing a large area of land in one fell swoop. The steppe elves are now forced to move to the forested area, and I heard that the wood elves are very unhappy with the orcs for instigating war. On the other side, the sea goddess is at war with the demon lord Dagon, and the Naga have determined that they are in serious conflict with the manta rays. There should also be a large portal connecting to the Abyss at some point in the deep ocean, as many manta rays come from the Shadow Sea on the 89th level of the Abyss.
This kind of thing will definitely be a headache for the Naga and the Ocean Church. The most Sauron could do was to help them wave their flags and shout.
The struggle on the seafloor does not affect the pattern of the material plane.
Of course.
The most important news at the moment is related to the Lord of Shadows.
The reason why Sauron felt that it was almost time to do it was also related to the recent change in the church to which the other god belonged.
Lord of Radiance.
The Church of the Lord of Light has been moving frequently lately, and there is a faint intention to go to war with the Lady of the Night's church.
The mighty divine power of a good camp.
The powerful divine power of an evil faction.
And there are prejudices against each other, new and old hatreds have accumulated for I don't know how many years, if the Lord of Light is really ready to fight the Night Lady, then Sauron's last concern is gone. He basically didn't have to worry about the Lady of the Night anytime soon. Because in the face of a god like the Lord of Light, I am afraid that the Night Lady will also have a headache to death.
It's the perfect time!
The Spider God's current attention is all on the elven gods, and when she cleans up the elven gods she hates the most, her attention will be shifted to other gods.
Now that the Night Lady is in front of the Lord of Light, it is impossible for her to have the energy to pay attention to the Lord of Shadows.
If Sauron does it now, he doesn't have to worry about encountering enemies with powerful divine powers to intervene and pick peaches, and of course, one of the more important reasons is that it is said that there are traces of Lady Luck in the northern region of the continent.
Goddess of Doom and Lady of Luck.
The twins of fate, who are beyond the gods, have finally appeared, and their struggle will tug at the nerves of many gods, because the Sage Havoc itself is a torrent of fate.
Things are on track in the city of Modo.
Negotiations and cooperation with the Northland Witches Council are slowly progressing right now. The Wizarding Alliance's side also needs to consult with the archmages of the council, and the request put forward by Modo City is not low, and they may not be able to agree in a short time.
With Golia and the Fallen Witch in place, Sauron doesn't have to worry about the instability of his big rear.
While the devils hadn't officially started yet, he felt that he still needed to find an opportunity to raise his strength again!
If he can advance to [Medium Divine Power], Sauron will basically not be weak even in the face of old gods. And if he succeeds in killing the Lord of Shadows, then Sauron's plan to establish his own god system will also begin to be laid out.
A god system.
The [Half-Elf] priesthood must be separated from the main priesthood after obtaining the [Shadow] priesthood, and Sauron has a more long-term plan for these things.
………………
A hidden basement.
Uhtred hurried in. Behind him were three grim-looking wanderers, who looked like specially trained assassins.
"Your Excellency."
An icy female voice appeared in the darkness. Although a woman with a rather beautiful appearance but a hideous scar on the side of her face appeared, and said slowly: "The recent movements of Modo City are abnormal, and I am worried that our whereabouts have been exposed. ”
Exposed?
Thinking of this, Uhtred couldn't help but look ugly, and said slowly: "What about the news inside the church? Haven't the support of the Church of the Shadows been sent yet? ”
Damn the city of Modo!
God knew that this opponent was so difficult, originally the Lord of Shadows was a medium divine power, and Sauron was just a weak divine power. One church has been around for thousands of years, and the other has only recently been founded.
At the beginning of the operation, Uhtred thought it was nothing more than a pastime to beat the children.
But when the actual battle began, he found that the enemy was much more difficult than he had imagined.
Sauron is the new god, that's right.
But after all, he inherited the original half-elf church, and he was about to empty out the foundation of Fallen Leaf City. The entire foundation of Fallen Leaf City was absorbed by the city of Modo. The forces within the church are actually more powerful than the outside world thinks.
More importantly, Sauron had worldly power.
The Church of the Gods is mostly independent of the world, that is, the Lord of Shadows does not control any kingdom, but only develops the Church through his influence on the physical plane, and at best secretly controls some cities through shadow thieves. However, these cities are not comparable to Modor City, Sauron can mobilize tens of thousands of warriors with a wave of his hand, but the entire Shadow Church can pull out not even one-tenth of the warriors of Modor City.
If it were a believer, the Lord of Shadows would definitely be much more than Sauron!
However, believers are not equal to combat effectiveness, and the only people in the entire Shadow Church who can fight are professionals, and they must also be devout believers, and pan-faith may not be willing to die.
However, the city of Mordor had no such concerns, for all the troops of the city obeyed Sauron's orders.
At first, it was undoubtedly the Lord of Shadows who had a clear advantage, but by the time the battle broke out in Shipwreck Bay, the situation had been completely reversed.
There is a steady stream of professionals sent out by Modo City to fight the Shadow Thieves and the Shadow Church!
Some were not believers in the Church at all, but long-established pirates, and the battle began to turn against the Shadow Church as soon as it entered a tug-of-war.
Because the Shadow Church is facing the interests of the entire island of Mordo!
"Does my lord have an oracle to convey it?"
Uhtred was silent for a moment, and suddenly spoke: "What about the Shadow Thief's centaurs?" Why hasn't it arrived yet! ”
The woman standing in front of him shook her head.
Suddenly, there was a strange noise outside, and there was a faint muffled grunt. The next moment, Uhtred's face changed drastically, and he panicked: "The situation is not right! ”
"There are enemies!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of fighting outside the basement door, and Uhtred rushed out almost immediately, this was a sealed basement, and there was no place to run if he was surrounded inside.
Uhtred rushed out.
But before he could make a move, a dagger had already stabbed him in the back of the heart.
"Ise?! You! ……”
The woman with the scar on the side of her face withdrew her weapon with an indifferent expression, and after a cold glance, she slowly lifted the spell on her body, and said sarcastically: "I'm not Ether!" ……”
Her appearance gradually changed.
The obvious feature is that the height has increased a lot all of a sudden, and then the eyebrows have become much more delicate and cold, and finally the ears have become slightly pointed.
Half-elf!
Advanced Transfiguration!
The half-elf assassin named Ether slitted Uhtred's throat with a wave of his hand, and then said slowly, "The Ether in your mouth is already dead. ”
"No, I really can't find your secret stronghold!"
Northland Witches Council.
In the last moments of his life, Uhtred's mind suddenly understood.
Such a subtle transfiguration technique is not something that ordinary people can use at all, and there is the Northland Witch Council behind Modo City, and only the high-ranking members of the Northland Witch Council can intervene to turn her into Ise's appearance, and he has never been aware of this.
Sorcerer!
Damn wizards!
Although there are wizards within the Shadow Church, there is no way to compare with this old witch force. Most of them are wanderers, then priests who serve the gods, and finally shadow wizards who turn class.
Life is fading away.
The woman who transformed into Ise glanced indifferently at the corpse on the ground, and then the figure disappeared into the darkness, and the battle today has not yet been contacted, they have found the location of the Lord of Shadows.
There will be a great battle ahead, which will determine the pattern of wanderers in the material plane for thousands of years!
Lord of Shadows, Church of Shadows, Shadow Thief.
Sauron, Half-Elf Church, Mordor City.
If Sauron is able to defeat the Lord of Shadows, then a true god will appear within the Wanderer, combining the Wanderer and Shadow priesthoods.
From now on, all forces associated with the Wanderer will be brought under Sauron's command.
The same.
If the Lord of Shadows defeats Sauron, his power will also be greatly increased! The battle between the two sides is destined for one thing, and that is that from now on the Wanderer and the Shadow Priesthood must merge!
