Chapter 638: Godfall
The blood-colored moonlight guides our path, the high concentration of abyss pollution makes the indicators explode, and looking at the rushing beasts on the ground, even the most optimistic people are nervous.
This is the third day since the outbreak of the Demon Tide, and it is expected that we will arrive this evening, but the plan was meant to be changed, and there have been several interceptions along the way, so it would be a blessing if we could arrive by tomorrow morning.
It can be seen that those intercepted winged demons and demon dragons are not coming at us, probably just the spontaneous attacks of the flying monsters in the demon tide, after all, the scattered group of shock battleships looks like they are sent to the head one by one.
It doesn't take the battleships to go out, the carrier-based aircraft have already knocked them all down.
Those dragons that looked powerful were actually abyssal variants of wurms like the Winged Wyvern, and perhaps the Tide gave them a stronger body, but it didn't give them the brains to avoid danger and engage in aerial combat.
The flying monsters posed no threat to us, but they did hinder our progress, sending out scouts and adjusting the new engines several times, leaving us four or five hours slower than expected.
As for Aifina sending me a letter saying "I can do what if I arrive early", I should just say it, this kind of verbal promise is not very convincing, plus the meaning of robbery while the fire is burning, the possibility of the other party turning his face and not admitting the account afterwards is too high, I don't want to take greater risks for unreliable interests, and still tell the driver to give priority to safety and stability.
As for the idea of letting the elves consume a little more magic tide and make our arrival more valuable? I said no, does anyone believe it?
Heloise is a big proponent of my safety-first approach. I just want to see her enemies die. Otherwise, it's really under your command. It's not easy to deal with.
The land below us is already pitch black, and the dense monsters on it make people's scalps tingle, as if the demon tide doesn't take the elf emperor in front of him seriously at all, but just spreads its own existence.
I'm afraid that the expectations of the surrounding human kingdoms have been disappointed, even if the elves are all wiped out, I am afraid that they will not be able to consume much of the demon tide.
Standing in the corridor of the bridge, looking at the sky outside, there is a scene that I can't forget.
"Still thinking about last night's meteor swarm?"
“…… Let's hope we don't come here in vain. ”
Meteor swarms? It's the Godsfall. I'm getting less and less optimistic about the elves, and last night four huge dark white meteors fell from the sky, and all the witnesses knew in a moment that it was a god's fall.
New information soon arrived, and there were two weak subordinate gods, one medium deity, and the priesthood was music, pilgrim, guide of the lost of the forest, and enlightener of the artist...... One more? It was a subordinate deity, a subordinate god of the god of art, who did not participate in the war, but fell directly with the great decline of faith.
Arguably. The small team of the art god system in the elven god system was directly wiped out.
He can be called a true god in the elven god system. There are about thirteen, but there are only two powerful gods, namely Saniya, the guardian god of war of the silver elves, and Somulan, the god of sacrifice of the moon elves.
The latter has always been low-key, and has a close relationship with Ansolo, and is said to be born from a god, and his priesthood includes religious beliefs (in fact, only the overseer of elven religious rituals), the guardian of nature, and the wayfinder of the elven family, and many druids believe in this powerful god who is partial to the natural gods.
The elven god system is not monolithic, the gods of the wood elves should be counted in the neutral natural camp, the dark elves... It seems that the entire army has been wiped out, and the small team of the Silver Elf True God is inclined to war and protection, and these gods who have nothing to do with war are naturally all subordinates of Suo Mulan.
They have a good relationship with the Moon Elves, and their low faith is already in a dangerous zone, but now that the Moon Elves are under a mortal threat, their faith safety line is almost over, and they are not good at fighting and must be strong, and it is completely natural that the whole army will be wiped out first.
Challenging Danatis in the Tide of Demons? It's the same thing as challenging the main god in the kingdom of God, and any existence below the powerful god doesn't have to think about being able to get out of the way.
And when Danatis really chooses to do it, then, what can stop him? I don't know if the arrangement I made will work.
The only thing to be expected is that Danatis will not be interested in ordinary elves...... But even if he doesn't act, it seems that these demons can destroy everything.
In a sense, when the first wave of the abyss chose the territory of the elves as a breakthrough, everything in front of them has become settled, and this is a battle with no hope of victory.
Abyss vs. Elves...... The gap is too big.
If you lose too much in the overall strategy, no matter how hard you try, you can only win a short-term tactical victory, and from the overall situation, you can only minimize the losses and not play a big role, although it is very cruel, this is war.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud bang came from afar, and a brilliant golden pillar of light appeared in the sky, it was pure magical light, and the shockwave and the wind blew the formation of the fleet.
When I looked at it with my eyes open, my eyes were stinging, and the other people around me had already covered their heads and collapsed, this pure magical light had gone beyond the scope of direct gaze.
"Forbidden spells?"
"No way, Danatis won't give them time to prepare, if they start preparing the forbidden spell, Danatis will not hesitate to launch a general attack, then die faster."
"And what is this?"
All the magic power indices are exceeded, and such a powerful magic impact may really meet the standard of forbidden spells.
Instant Forbidden Spell? Let's not mention whether it can be done or not, if there is really this level, the elves will not be forced into this field, then, most likely......
"Fragments of divine power crystals? I didn't expect them to succeed......"
The person who knows you best will always be your enemy, and Heloise actually knows what that is?
"The elves have a completely different belief in the gods than humans, and their understanding of the gods is more similar to that of mages, and they have already secretly stepped into the forbidden area of the gods......
The Moon Elves were originally the religious governors of the Old Elven Empire. Their understanding of the mysteries of the gods has a long history. And that divine power crystallized. It is also an attempt to use mortal things to bind divine power and let mortals use divine power.
If you can store your divine power like a pool of magic power, faith will become another currency, and in a sense, the elves do dare to think and do.
In the past, clergy often had to obtain divine magic through the "gifts" of the true gods, and the number was definitely limited, after all. The source of faith must be used to strengthen the gods themselves, which is the same as the public expenditure of the treasury must be less than half of the annual tax revenue, and the gods must also ensure the balance of income and expenditure and healthy development, and the divine arts and divine powers given should not only depend on the mood of the gods and the favor of the priests, but the overall quantity and quality are discounted.
And if they can use a fixed container to store divine power like Olivia's magic box, perhaps, even if they put aside the gods, they can still use divine magic, and the power will theoretically increase significantly.
If it succeeds. Their priest is also almost endless...... But this will obviously anger all the gods, in essence. This is no different from blasphemous priests who steal divine power.
No, considering that if divine power can be preserved, traded, and used as a currency, God's unknowability will be greatly reduced, and the nobility and status of the gods will be seriously challenged, I am afraid that this death is even more excessive than blasphemy.
"It's really reckless, those elven gods let them mess around like this?"
"This is the research project of the Golden Elf back then, but the Moon Elf took over ......."
Heloise's words were full of embarrassment, and the golden elf once again demonstrated what it means to be reckless and die to death.
I don't need to say how Heloise knows, she has a lot of students and spies in the country of mages, how can there be fewer in the elf clan, considering that the layout has been at least thousands of years, I don't know if there are already subordinates mixed up to the top level.
Then, the scene in front of me is very easy to understand, the moon elves who were driven to a dead end used their trump cards, and the divine power of the reserves was detonated, and the lethality of pure positive energy to demons was extremely terrifying, but this is a double-edged sword, even if they survive the current crisis, the gods of human order will not let them go.......
"The latest announcement from the leprechauns! The sacrificial god Somulan descended to earth, but he was still severely injured by Danatis, and the body of the true god exploded, and the god he fell! ”
Well, it seems that the judgment we just made was slapped in the face, so what kind of divine power crystallization is there, it is obviously the last holy light of the true god, in other words, it seems that even I have not seen the explosion of divine power before the fall of the powerful god, it turns out to look like this.
"Oh, Heloise......"
After the pillar of light erupted, the huge white meteorite pierced the sky, and it was a fragment of the Kingdom of God that had lost its meaning.
I looked for Heroise with interest, intending to see her current expression, and just now I was making inferences with confidence, and I was instantly sucked into that.
"Somulan is dead? Haha, that's a good celebration, no, there's going to be the biggest drinking party tonight! No alcohol on the battlefield? No, we're here for the Strong! ”
Heloise was already happy to find the north, and the other high-ranking elf patriarchs were embarrassed, and it was not easy to stop him from coming.
I've almost forgotten that there are a bunch of Heloise's enemies in the Elven God Department, and since that Mulan and Ansolo are so close, most of them are also Heloise's enemies.
As for the misjudgment just made? In the face of the good news that the enemy hung up, she no longer cared.
Seeing that people were going crazy and really planned to pull the high-ranking elves to have a party, I shook my head helplessly.
"It seems that she trusts you a lot."
Didina suddenly appeared, but it made people feel a little uncomfortable, after all, she is an abyss lord, I have always sent someone to follow her carefully, all the way over, she is also quite responsible.
"At this critical moment, she still has the leisure to mess around, naturally she trusts you to be able to handle the matter in front of her, so she doesn't know that she is about to face Danatis......"
"Hehe, you'll see."
I didn't say much, even if her identity is really a bit special, but trust still needs time to accumulate, and it is enough to save face with her, and it is not even necessary to think about revealing the next strategic plan.
It's not about precaution or anything, it's about the necessary caution of an old fritter, and there are some things that the less you know, the better.
I can understand Didina's concerns about the elves, but I'm not going to explain it to her.
"So, can you tell me how you plan to escape the demon tide with the elves, it doesn't seem like enough to count on these warships."
Of course it's not enough, now the Moon Wheel Capital has the entire population of the elf "empire", even if it is fully loaded, it is definitely not enough, even with children and the elderly, not to mention that it is impossible for the elves to leave on their own, and I can't return empty-handed.
And if you open the way in the demon tide with a great migration, the picture should not be too beautiful.
"Have you ever heard of the Horrett Mountains?"
"....... are you going to cross that cliff? But it will take several days to go back and forth, and it will be ...... if you ship it repeatedly."
From the human kingdom layer by layer, it is time-consuming, labor-intensive and dangerous, the Horett Mountains are regarded as uncrossable mountain ranges, and the demon tide should not be stupid to climb the snow mountain, so it will naturally be safe to cross that mountain range, and my goal is just to let those elites survive this catastrophe, and when the time comes, just leave them, and those who are young and have potential can be brought to the north.
As for how to cross the demon tide with the elves and cross the impossible mountains....... that's my own business.
Faced with Didina's concern, I smiled and nodded, did not continue to answer, and got up directly to say goodbye.
Calculating the time, it is indeed about the same, from now on, I should have about twenty-four hours to prepare when I arrive at my destination.
"I'm out of company, I still have some personal matters."
After getting up to say goodbye, I headed straight to the Northern Lights' Mage Tower, where the renovation had begun and the preparations should have been over by now.
"Well, let me prepare a gift for Danatis, and I wonder what the elves will think when they see my gift. It should be interesting. (To be continued......)
