Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Mountains Collapse
Before discovering it, it seemed that the situation was described as too tense by Clematis. Bot hurriedly explained: "Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that the church wasn't involved in the blockade of the necessities of life. At the same time, many aspects of the other party still need the channels of the church, and the members of our church may also appear on their hunting list! However, since the church has not been wiped out, it has become a situation where the other party has a request for the church. β
"Is there a combination of struggle and cooperation? How do you feel like you're pulling the Northlands Seven Cities Alliance and the Noble Council back! Speaking of this, Barrett sighed lightly, "But now it seems that the two sides are completely torn apart this time." I really don't know if the next cooperation will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey! β
"Knowing that they are willing to cooperate, I don't think the church cares about what happened before. I'm afraid that the other party won't be able to put down his face. But in that case, the church will just make less money. "Claymatis. Bot sees this clearly. This is another reason why the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church has acted without fear.
I don't know what impact the actions of the Church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' have had on the mammoth kingdom this time. Less than three days after the last attack, Barrett, who was on duty outside his tent, noticed a figure flash in the woods not far away.
"At this point in time, it shouldn't be a scattered patrol team." Barrett, who noticed that something was wrong, reached out and knocked on the tent. Immediately, the heavily armed anvil came to Barrett's side through the hole: "Is there a situation? β
Barrett stared at the gap in the forest where the head had been dangling before, and said, "It's not very clear yet. But you call out Clematis and Lalu first! At the same time, prepare the mage as well. β
"That's good! I'm going to inform them. With that, the anvil immediately went back into the tent.
As time passed, the figure Barrett had seen before had finally emerged from the woods. And after seeing the person clearly, Barrett's expression immediately became serious. Of course, Barrett knew all the guys he was looking at - he had just watched them leave the camp this morning.
These aboriginal adventurers on the run. He is also a temporary thug hired by the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church. Previously, during the break, Barrett also communicated with them. And at this moment, a thin man who was being carried by a big man and a half was their captain, John. Pylosh, a sublime sorcerer with celestial blood.
In Barrett's memory, the handsome man with his feathery hair and threaded pupils was very talkative. Perhaps because of his celestial bloodline, he was particularly interested in the customs of the main planeβa folklorist with a great passion for ethnography. This guy sees his adventures as a new way of folklore research. The purpose of this book is to collect the customs of various cultures and write a monograph.
And unlike the vast majority of Aboriginal people who take risks and only pass the news about themselves. John. Pylosh has never been shy about talking about his origins and abilities. According to him, he grew up in a family that had long believed in the 'sun god' with a strong religious atmosphere. This is very similar to the Vaal family next door to Boreham.
At the same time, he also told Barrett that his family had been in existence for 500 years and 23 generations, and that each generation of patriarchs would make a moral precept before they died. And as a descendant of Pylosh, he must always obey the precepts of the twenty-three ancient precepts, or else he will lose all power. Barrett could tell a little bit about this, such as when he was on his own in the camp, and he abstained from all alcoholic beverages, which was a rarity among Native adventurers.
But as far as John. Pylosh's statement. Barrett doesn't agree exactly. Because in the game, although it is possible to gain strength by obeying certain precepts. But what is lost after breaking the precept is only the power provided by the precepts, and it does not cause the violator to lose all his power - this is somewhat similar to the paladin, and the loss of favor of the paladin is indeed miserable. But their strength is still stronger than many ordinary adventurers.
Of course, in return for keeping the vows, this John in front of him. The effects of the spells cast by Pyrosh are all sanctified, such as damage spells that are considered to be affected by superdemons through 'pure spells', which are the caster's ability to infuse celestial energy into spells that deal damage, so that good creatures are not damaged.
Spells transformed by this feat, gain the attribute 'Kindness'. Also, if the spell can deal damage. Deals only half the damage to neutral creeps, or if the spell allows for exemptions. Only a quarter of the damage will be received if you pass the test; This spell does no damage to good creatures at all. However, evil otherworldly creatures that are affected by this spell and are not immune to the corresponding damage type take extra damage; The damage of this spell will be increased by one level. Other evil creatures take normal damage.
At the same time, the summoning spell automatically blocks the creatures of the evil faction, and the ordinary creatures are automatically put on the celestial template, and the creatures of the good camp will become more powerful. Even support spells become more persistent when cast on targets in the good faction, as if they were affected by the 'spell delay'. Of course, if you cast a negative status on the evil faction, it is not only more difficult for the opponent to be exempted. At the same time, the duration will be doubled.
It can be said that this is because the caster has very distinct characteristics, and the strengths and weaknesses are very obvious. So Barrett once wondered why the other party just casually exposed his message. But his open-minded thinking once moved Barrett very much: "Why? There is no why. My damage sorcery doesn't work on good creatures. But since the other party is kind, then naturally it is impossible for him to be my enemy. Otherwise. I was incapacitated in the face of them. Is there any value in whether this weakness exists or not? β
Although John. There were still quite a few holes in Mr. Pylosh's thinking - such as what to do if he encountered an enemy in a neutral camp hired by his hand? But the faith felt in it is like a dazzling light that can burn the eyes of the filthy at any moment. So those teammates who are with him, even if they are not the so-called righteous people, are often 'good people' with a bottom line in their hearts.
At the time, Barrett wondered how such a team could be involved in the actions of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce. And John. Pylosh's answer this time was succinct. I owe a favor and have to come. All right! Individuals in a group cannot live in a vacuum. Since there is an intersection, it is not difficult to do this with the hands of the Church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce'.
It is precisely because the other party is a good person worthy of respect in personality that after finding that the other party is in this state, Barrett can't help but rush forward. For him, although he can't be that kind of person. But it doesn't prevent you from appreciating each other - isn't the so-called idol just the sustenance of things that you can hope for but can't ask for?
The team on the run also found Barrett. They immediately shouted at the top of their voices, "Go back, go back and send the alarm." β
"Alarm!" Barrett, who thought of something, snapped his gaze to the woods behind these fugitives. But under the cover of the trees, Barrett was unable to find any trace of the enemy. This situation is not easy to do even if Barrett has his own ultrasonic sonar!
Fortunately, at this time, the other players who were stained with blood and gray flowers also left the tent that obstructed sound and vision. Barrett, who turned around, immediately shouted at them, "Alarm quickly!" β
Hearing this, the anvil immediately rang a small bronze bell hanging next to the 'yurt' with the war hammer in his hand. As the sound of 'Dang Dang Dang' continued to sound, all the members of the camp quickly put down what they were doing. Some of them skillfully grabbed the weapons around them. Some hurriedly put on their armor, while others immediately left the house. With the experience of the previous attack, their response has improved significantly.
Just as Barrett was about to pick up John. As he was on the line, he suddenly felt the snow tremble slightly under his feet. At the same time, a sound like the roar of a steam train was heard louder and louder from some distant mountain. Almost at the same time, the members of the camp also felt unusual.
Barrett quickly realized something, and he immediately turned his gaze to the mountains in the distance: "Avalanche! β
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge block of snow like a small mountain poured down from the high place with a thunderous sound. These snowflakes that should have been white and flickering. At this moment, it suddenly turned into a huge wave swept by the storm. The front wave leads the back wave, and the back wave pushes the front wave. The waves crash on the towering mountains, the clouds swallow the waves, and in a moment they twist into a ball.
These solid waters, which have been in the dust at the top of the mountain for an unknown amount of time, hit me and I touched you along the way, stirring up a piece of hookah. From a distance, the entire mountain peak suddenly turned into a battlefield of thousands of horses galloping and golden drums sounding in unison. The swarming layers of snow are like rows of white eagles flying with wings spread; The snow that slipped from the top of the mountain roared like a huge wave. It is like thousands of fierce horses with white manes, and even more like countless violent bears roaring and roaring; Finally, the snow-capped mountains were stacked into a series of "booms" and pounced on all the lives in the vicinity.
"No!" The Priest of Weldon in the camp let out such an exclamation, and it was clear that the location of the avalanche had something to do with the operation. The members of the church who had been assigned there before had to rely on their training and instinct to protect themselves.
In the short time before the snow approached their bodies, the elites of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce threw away their blades. Roll up the ground and quickly run to any obstacle in the slope that you can rely on. For example, huge rocks, or other obstacles (walls of force fields created by spells) - apparently they wanted these obstacles to keep them from being buried by the snow.
However, it turned out that even with a sturdy barrier, the raging avalanche covered the members of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce church who were hiding behind them. After just a few seconds, they felt a tremendous pressure coming from all sides of their bodies, pressing down on their internal organs and tearing their internal organs with pain. Immediately afterward, the cold continued to rob them of their body temperature, as if to force these unfortunate people to pass out.
'Accidental or man-made?' Suddenly such a thought popped into the mind of Priest Weldon. The change in front of him made the chief dispatcher in the camp feel his heart pounding endlessly.
Even in the real world, it is not difficult to create an avalanche artificially. This is especially true in a world with supernatural powers. As long as there are enough roar spells, it is enough to trigger that kind of catastrophe of nature. At the same time, the more reasonable the part you choose, the less spells or strange things you need. Therefore, the valley that served as the advance camp had already considered the threat of avalanches when selecting the site - even if an avalanche occurred on all the surrounding hills, it would not affect the camp in the valley.
It's a pity that the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church couldn't be so thoughtful when it came to the search mission. There can be no danger to them, so they don't search for it! In that case, would you still need to organize this operation? Know that their target is most likely in that dangerous environment!
Now I can only pray for the parishioners there! Because there are more important things to do. Thinking of this, Priest Verdon immediately gave the order: "All men are ready for battle, the enemy's attack has begun!" If you don't want to end up in the same situation, cheer me up. β
At this moment, Barrett's attention was also attracted by the huge avalanche. When he came back to his senses, a lush vine was growing rapidly, threatening to envelop him. Realizing that something was wrong, Barrett immediately lunged forward, because the fleeing team was already entangled in the growing vines. And the one who carried John on his back. If there is no one to help the strong man of Pyroxh, he may not be able to get rid of the entanglement of this vine on his own.
'It's a natural magic! Is there a druid or a shaman? Thinking of this, Barrett immediately activated the 'Iron Heart Power'. Immediately, the vines that had been entangled with Barrett slipped away as soon as they came into contact with him. And in the distance Claudia. Auditore also began to sing the ballad of 'Conflict of Inertia' - because the duration of 'Iron Heart' was too short for Barrett to rescue people. (To be continued.) )
