Chapter 707: Gathering of Storms (I)
From the first ring to the fifth ring, there are 20 additional optional spells, and Charles must spend a certain amount of time to familiarize himself with the spells, otherwise he will be randomly recorded in the spell slot of the day, and he will not know how to use them, but he will reduce his actual combat effectiveness.
Yeyao is full of sincerity.
At least, the Charr is now grateful to the goddess, allowing the Cult of Night to build a temple in the Rock Territory is only the first step, an open metropolis cannot exist with only one faith, otherwise, the impression that Rock City will give to players and natives in the future will only stay in the stereotypical Ogmar religious city.
He is not a fanatical aborigine, he is not conservative, and if he wants to really build the rock realm, being conservative will only do bad things.
As it stands, Ogmar didn't give him any warning, and most of the gods actually have a resigned attitude towards the player, even for the gods, the god fathers just pay more attention.
Ogmar wants to meddle in the development of the Rock Realm, and Charles does not have to follow his arrangement, it is a matter of principle.
He is a player first and a believer in Ogma second.
"Ingrid, there's something for you......"
Standing quietly in front of the statue of the Luminous God, waiting for the lich to finish her prayer, Charles unhurriedly elaborated on the military activities that the Rock Leader was preparing to take the lead.
In front of the illuminated statue of Nightshade, no other gods could peep here, and after the previous blessings, Charles's trust in Nightshade and her witch oracle had quietly risen to a new level, so he could easily tell his own arrangement.
"Dark Castle?"
Ingrid listened to Charles's actions in the last ten days with a smile, nodded and said, "It's right to eradicate the Dark Castle. Otherwise, the Rock Territory will always face the threat of the Dark Soldiers of the Santarim Society. ”
"It's just that you're too reckless to form an alliance with the Shimans. Bane's followers are a group of evil professionals, and whoever rules the Dark Keep is like a nail in the heart of the Rock Collar. ”
It seems that the lich does not approve of some of the Charles' decisions.
"Yes, that's why I'm going to ask you for help." Charles shrugged.
"What do you want to ......," Ingrid looked at him in surprise, vaguely figuring out what he was thinking, "Schiman isn't stupid. On the contrary, he is still a genius mage, and if you show some signs in your actions, I am afraid he will be able to see it. ”
"It's fine. Anyway, the Dark Citadel must not fall into the hands of the Cult of the Evil God. I have the confidence to deal with Schiller. It's just that the outside supervision work is about to be handed over to you, and I have a hunch that this battle of the Dark Keep will attract a lot of interesting characters. A smile tugged at the corner of Charles' mouth.
"Yes. Nightfall asked me to help you as much as I could. Ingrid said.
Successfully invite a Legendary Lich to battle. Charles left the Temple of Nightshade satisfied. Instead, he went to meet some of his entourage.
Heroic Berserker Saleen.
Heroic drow sorcerer Antinoa.
and Alyssa the Blight, who stayed in the territory on the day of the celebration.
The first two are good to say, just feel free to appease, but for the third place, Charles has a faint headache, he left Alyssa in the Secret Lake Valley of Moon Shadow Island, maybe the fallen female elf misunderstood something, anyway, every time Alyssa saw him, her attitude was not friendly. Apparently holding back a breath of anger.
This time, though, come back. On the outer walls of the territory city, Charles found the silver-haired elf sitting on the battlement and looked out over the vast swamp, and when he invited her, the other party nodded and agreed without thinking about it.
"Okay."
Alyssa sat and stretched, and Charles could only see her cheeks, so she couldn't analyze the inner thoughts of the female elf at the moment.
"Then I'll go first."
The mobilization for war was already underway, and Charles didn't have time to stay here to talk to the elves, so he left after receiving a message from Alyssa.
In this way, the three heroes inside the Rock Realm will all participate in the battle against the Dark Castle.
And Pastor Bloomer and the Doctor, the Inquisitor who just joined the temple today, Charles is not going to use them yet.
……
Bang.
A metal cup was thrown to the ground.
At noon, the Lord of Darkkeep, Pergost, was enjoying lunch in the dining room, but a piece of information from the nezumi scout made him so angry that he yelled angrily.
Bright red wine spread across the carpet, and Pergost waved off the nezumi before whispering to a Dark Knight, "Call Hallage to meet me!" ”
A long time later, a warrior wearing black full-body armor was brought into the hall.
"Hallage!" The Lord of Dark Keep stared at his generals and narrowed his eyes, "Who did you meet with last night?" ”
The warrior wore a closed helmet, and only a pair of cold and indifferent eyes could be faintly seen in the gap in the eye socket.
"Lord Dehamon has found me......" the warrior said.
"And what about your choice?" Pergost's eyes glowed with coldness.
"I used to follow Shirek, I used to follow the son of God, but now I only serve the hand of darkness, and I am strong in my faith." The Dark Ciep warrior said, "It's just that Lord Dehamon has already lobbied a lot of people in secret, and many officers have begun to support him, Lord Pergost, you should be on your guard." ”
"I've been staring at Dihamon for a long time, and his every move can't hide from my eyes!" Pergost smiled coldly, "Very good, I know your loyalty, Harech, you are the general in charge of the defense of the outer wall of the fortress, if you mutiny, pledge your allegiance to Dehamon, I will be the first to deal with you!" ”
The High Lord made no secret of his murderous intent.
The Dark Warrior was silent, then saluted and exited the hall.
"Do you think he's lying?" When the warrior left, Pergost suddenly turned his head to look into the corner of the hall.
"He wasn't lying."
One of Bane's players walked out of the darkness unhurriedly and bowed slightly to Pergost before he said slowly, "I've used the lie detector scroll. ”
This is the 'lone demon' who has returned to the Dark Citadel from Iliaba!
"Divine Favor, the Church's arrangements in Iliaba have gone down the drain, but I am not qualified to punish and judge you, nor is the Santarim Society." Pergost said lightly, "Since you have returned to the Dark Castle, you must have heard something unfavorable to the Dark Castle, and now, I will give you the first task...... Keep an eye on Dehamon and find out all the officers inside the fort who have taken root with Dehamon......"
"No problem!" The solitary demon was in good spirits.
Surveillance work suits him perfectly. In the face of his status as a god of Ban'n, many dark officers will not be able to resist the pressure to show their feet.
Eliaba's defeat was a great shame for him, so the Lone Demon now wanted to keep the Dark Keep, otherwise after the Dark Citadel was lost, he, the Ben Divine Servant, would have no resurrection base in the Western Soils.
Unbeknownst to the Lone Demon and Pergost, the dark officer Hallage walked out of the castle hall and went straight back to his room to meet the two important people.
One is the Rev. Shirek, who is about fifty years old, but his demeanor is still shrewd, especially the narrow eyes, which give people a fox-like cunning feeling.
This man is none other than Pergost's rival, the semi-legendary priest Dihamon.
In fact, the Sheric believers thought that they were the masters of the Dark Castle, and the former acting leader Man, who was also bored by this group of people, guarded against this and that every day, and it was Pergost's turn to sit in the Dark Castle, and the power of the Santarin Society was seriously reduced, and this group of Sherek believers naturally became active.
However, when the dark officer entered the door, he first bowed his head to another middle-aged man beside the priest Dihamon, and respectfully handed over a black badge, "Thank you, Master Malik, for allowing me to mess with the lie detector spell of the Bane Divine Favorite. ”
"Good!" A middle-aged man named Malik, he was not good-looking, short in stature, slightly chubby, and had a pair of small horns on the top of his head, which looked like he was wearing a green hat.
Malik took his badge and nodded and sneered, "Harwich, it seems that the Lord Archon must still think that you are loyal to him." ”
"I'm a believer in Ciric......" Dark Officer Hallech said coldly.
The semi-legendary priest next to him, Dihamon, interjected: "Harage, I've had a bad feeling lately, and now it seems that this premonition is not from the Santarin Society, you should raise the level of vigilance on the outer walls of the Dark Fortress, I suspect that an army is about to attack the Dark Castle!" ”
Hallage was stunned, and said with disdain in his eyes: "It's that group of orcs and giants again?" ”
"Probably not this time." Malik's eyes were dark, "The future of the Dark Citadel is shrouded in a layer of fog, and chaos is coming, but this is also our church's chance to completely control the Dark Citadel!" ”
……
Two days later.
The military port of Iliaba.
A vast fleet of boats sailed upstream of the Oi Sa, each full of soldiers and professionals.
The banner of the Church of Hruswaheim, the flag of the Red Cavalry Regiment of Asbrewin, and the tulip banner of the Ipugil family, the nouveau riche Iliaba, fluttered over the river.
On the main ship, the heads of several parties gathered on the deck.
There weren't many people from the Harpists League this time, except for Sereria Dragonheart, there were two other very mysterious professionals, a man and a woman, one was a harpist and the other was a master harpist.
"Our scouts are already operating near the riverbank." "Our actions will be silent until we enter the distant mountains and the Sunset Mountains, but once in the mountains, due to the limited number of personnel, the harpist scouts cannot guarantee that all the activities of the legion will be carried out in secret. ”
"That's enough."
Charles smiled: "The fleet will anchor at the source of the Oisa River, the 3,000-strong army of the Rock Leader has assembled on the other side of the Sunset Mountains, and the 'Resistance Alliance' will form an encirclement of the Dark Fortress from both directions!" ”
"Our actions may be able to conceal the Santarim, but other churches that are consciously concerned about the Dark Citadel will definitely hear some rumors......" Harpist Mage Ruha stared at Charles, "especially you, Ogmar's gods, guardians, your every move is so attention-grabbing, I don't know how many gods have their eyes on you." (To be continued.) )
