Chapter 400: Conquering the Black Iron Castle, Defeated Before Making a Move (7800 Words)

Hearing Li De's words, Harrison's expression was very exciting.

I even wondered if I had heard it wrong, what is Godhead? The most primordial power of the gods, the value of this kind of thing cannot be described in simple words.

But now...... Li De said that he got one, is this thing so easy to get?

"Your Majesty, are you talking about Godhead?"

Looking at Harrison's shocked expression, Li De felt a little evil in his heart, when he saw Godhead just now, his expression was not much better than Harrison's.

"That's right, a godhead that contains the priesthood of dusk......"

It also contains the priesthood?!!

Harrison's eyes widened a little more, his face filled with disbelief.

Is this going to dig up the gods' hometown? Or is it another god ruin?

The creator god is above, isn't he dreaming?

Seeing that Harrison couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, Li De smiled and began to talk about the process of getting the godhead, and after listening, Harrison came to his senses.

His face was excited, and he said, "Your Majesty, you have definitely been blessed by the God of Creation!"

Not only can you conquer the terrifying existence of gods, but you can also get the godhead!!

With the God of Creation above, the Holy Light Blood Race will definitely become a race of gods! ”

The race of gods, the heirs of the gods.

If we look at the current development trend, the probability of Li De becoming a god seems to be increasing significantly.

And as the Holy Light Blood Clan, which is a descendant of the bloodline, if Li De is really a god, then they will undoubtedly become the biggest beneficiaries.

Godborn, this is not a fantasy.

"Don't think about it that much just yet."

Li De waved his hand, becoming a god is still too far away, and even the legend is still a long way, suggesting that the strength to deal with the upcoming disaster of the past is the key.

"Now, I need to access the power of the Dark Faith to activate this Twilight Godhead."

"And the best place to access the power of dark faith is undoubtedly the underworld......

Halflings, Grey Dwarves, Night Elves, Orcs, Cavemen, Harpies...... And so on and so forth, these races can give us access to the power of the Dark Faith. ”

Harrison also stabilized his emotions, and after a little thought, he said decisively.

"Your Majesty, the conquest of the Underworld was a plan we had in the past, and now we can start it right away.

Suppress the rebellion with the army, resolve the disobedience with faith, and this land will be shrouded in your light. ”

"Yes, that's what I thought."

Li De's eyes burned, "We need to conquer a city, and then use this city as a support point to radiate around. ”

"You mean...... Black Iron Castle? ”

Harrison's eyes froze, "The city built by the halflings is undoubtedly the core of the area near the Silt Swamp.

According to the intelligence department, there are many tribes and clans around here, such as the Night Elves in the south of Black Iron City, and the orcs in the north, all of which are tribes with great power. ”

Li De nodded thoughtfully.

"Originally, it was intended to slowly corrupt the underworld, so that this land would become a part of us under the economic influence of Daybreaker, just like centaurs in the low hills.

But now that the old days are about to come and our time is running out, this plan for corruption can only be changed to a plan for faster conquest. ”

"The power of Daybreak City is no longer what it used to be, and it is enough to conquer this land!"

"No matter how much power they hide, no matter how powerful they are, the iron hooves of the City of Dawn will crush everything!"

Although Li De's tone was calm, the monstrous domineering and ambition in it were enough to make anyone look sideways.

The power he holds in his hands is enough for him to be fearless of all the challenges of the underworld.

"Your Majesty, your gaze will be the guiding light of the City of Dawn!"

Harrison cupped his chest and bowed, the fanatical adoration in his eyes even crazier than that of fanatics.

The speaker of the city hall has witnessed Li De step by step against the sky, growing the City of Dawn to the level of digital transcendence, and his trust in Li De has already been full even if there is no bloodline.

Li De took a deep breath κ“Ή His eyes were as sharp as a falcon.

"Harrisonκ“Ή immediately ordered the entire army to be dispatched to prepare for battle."

"This battle will be the battle that will lay the foundation for the rise of the City of Daybreak."

The King's Blade is an army built by Li De, commanding all armies except spellcasters and bloods.

These include Wings of Dawn κ“Ή Orc Legion κ“Ή Centaur Legion κ“Ή Human Legion and Giant Legion .

The number and strength of the individual legions varied considerably.

After several expansions, the Wings of Daybreak is currently numbered at 5,000 and equipped with 8,000 Magic Bats, of which 3,000 are responsible for airdropping alchemy bombs.

The other 5,000 are the Whisper Knights, armed with aerial repeaters, responsible for sniping local air units and protecting bombardier units.

The orc legion comes from the lion tribe, with a total number of 50,000, and there are 60,000 orc warriors in the dwarf valley who can go to war at any time, which is the main force of underground conquest.

The Centaur Legion was drawn from the Iron Hoof of the low hills to resist the Berserk Half-Rats, with a total of 40,000 archers and 20,000 hoplites.

The total number of human legions is 10,000, archers, thieves, warriors, knights, etc., which is the most professional legion.

The number of active members of the Giant Legion is 1,200, of which 1,000 are two-headed ogres, 200 are cyclops, and more than 10 of them have a combat strength of more than 15 or above.

In addition to these regular legions, the caster team is also extremely extravagant.

At present, the number of the Holy Light Blood Clan has exceeded 2,700, and among them, there are 2,000 Blood Mages, and the rest are Vampire Sword Guards and Blood Blades.

After more than three years of training, there are more than 200 combat mages who can go to the battlefield at this time, and all of them are above level 5.

Although he has not yet cultivated a level 10 high-level mage, with Li De's investment of resources at any cost, the strength of this spellcaster team is enough to make people feel frightened.

In other words, adding up these tribes, the number of troops that Li De can mobilize at any time has exceeded 100,000.

And that's not even counting the self-detonating spiders and the unmobilized troops.

Tough.

"Yes."

Harrison took the order, and Li De didn't stay in the office for long, and directly tore the space and appeared in the Church of Daybreak.

This is a war that will not be inferior to the battle of the five armies in the city of Riesr, and the entire city of Dawn will be turned around for it.

But unlike the last time, this time the sect will occupy a lot of color.

He wants the territory, and he wants the power of faith.

Seeing Li De suddenly appear in the church, Nicole, who did not go out, was suddenly a little surprised.

The girl who was already slim and graceful immediately came to Li De's side and bowed slightly, "Good day, Kachar City Lord~"

Those big black eyes were full of joy, she hadn't seen Li De for a long time.

Seeing this, Li De smiled slightly, "Nicole, where is your sister?" ”

"My sister has gone to the underground world to preach, Lord Castle, are you here to find your sister?" Nicole's tone couldn't help but be slightly lost.

"No, it's the same with you." Li De's words made this bright-eyed girl happy.

"We're about to send troops to conquer the underworld.

But unlike before, this time it's not just about land and resources, it's about faith. ”

"For the faith?"

Nicole's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she looked at Li De with some hesitation.

"But our mission in the underworld is on track now, and it won't be long before a large number of halflings will become your followers......"

"No," Li De waved his hand, his eyes looking directly at the lovely girl, "this time, I need the faith of the dark race. ”

"The Dark Race?"

Nicole was a little surprised, "But the Daybreak Sect's trade is too bright, and few dark races will betray their own camp......"

In fact, it is not a betrayal but an unwillingness, what is the difference between letting a group of murderous dark races believe in a sect that advocates peace and forcing lions and tigers to graze.

This is also the reason why the Daybreak Cult can only spread among halflings at the moment.

"No, we're not spreading the Daybreak Cult this time."

"Not the Cult of Daybreak?" Nicole was a little confused.

"Twilight is coming, the multi-plane will fall into destruction, the great god of twilight is the eternal Lord God, only He can save the world, the believers of Him will have eternal life when the world is destroyed, and the infidels and the unbelievers will be given eternal suffering by the God of Twilight."

Li De solemnly said a standard evil god doctrine, looked at Nicole's bewildered expression, and said slowly, "I will establish a new sect, and this sect will be named the Twilight Sect......

"And you will cooperate with the Twilight Sect in their missionary work."

Nicole's eyes widened, and she said with some confusion, "Lord Castle, you want to re-establish a sect?" ”

Although she does not believe in a denomination, she also knows that a denomination is not just a ...... Otherwise, wouldn't the sects in this world be flying all over the sky, and those humans who joined the evil camp would not be so honest.

"Don't worry, this mission is not to abandon the Dawnbreaker Sect, but to reap the faith of dark life, so the sect is re-established.

Nicole, you have a talent for management that few people can match, and this time you will follow me to the underground world, the early stage of the Twilight Sect, which requires your cooperation in management. ”

Nicole's eyes lit up when she heard the latter words, and she followed Li De to the underground world together?? Nothing else mattered, just this sentence made the girl eager to try, and she felt that the air was fresh.

"Yes, Lord Castle, Nicole won't let you down."

"Pick some trustworthy and clever preachers to follow.

As soon as the army is reorganized, it will be distributed. ”

Black Iron Castle.

As a halfling city, it has always been a symbol of prosperity, at least for the races of the underworld.

Nowadays, this concept has become more recognized by the public.

Because the surface force called Daybreak City has brought a lot of precious materials to Black Iron Castle, and even many things are not available in the underground world.

Interestingly, the supplies brought by Daybreak were only distributed to a handful of halfling nobles in the Black Iron Castle.

In just half a year, the strength of these halfling nobles who have gained the right to operate has been extremely inflated, and their private soldiers and guards have even worn extremely precious armor.

This made many halfling nobles blush.

The Black Iron Castle is located in a lavish aristocratic manor house in the city center, and an ongoing banquet is especially lively.

Because today is the messenger of the City of Daybreak, the honorable Count Otis invited all the nobles of the city to come to the banquet, and it is clear that the City of Daybreak will choose more halfling nobles to cooperate after today's dinner.

Even the lord of the castle rushed here when he heard the news.

"I heard that Master Otis is interested in picking a few new partners, I wonder if it's true?"

"Needless to say? The goods in the City of Dawn are so popular, and the families they have worked with have made a lot of money during this time......"

"If Lord Otis takes out the right to operate the magic scroll this time, then I will make a profit for everything......"

"If I can get the right to operate the weapon, my subordinates may be able to change to high-level equipment and longbows in half a year......

The lavish hall was illuminated by magic lamps as bright as the surface, and the halfling nobles below were chatting with each other in luxurious clothes from the City of Dawn.

Most of the focus is on tonight's goal - the new management of the City of Dawn.

With its strong industrial strength, the City of Dawn has been frantically dumping goods in the underground world during this time.

The halflings didn't know the huge profits of dumping, only that they could get a piece of the pie with the dumping of Daybreaker.

So one by one is extremely cooperative.

The second-generation blood Otis was sitting at the round table in the center of the banquet hall at this time, and the main seat was empty, which was his habit all along, because in his heart, only Li De was qualified to be the main seat, even if the other party was not there.

Looking at the increasingly lively crowd, this second-generation bloodline had a smile on his face that couldn't be concealed.

After Li De handed over the underground world to him, he also lived up to expectations and made the business here prosperous.

Not only can they obtain a large amount of supplies for Daybreak City every month, but it also allows the Daybreak Sect to spread their faith in this land with peace of mind.

The smooth development of the underworld has raised his status in Daybreak City by a large margin.

This is definitely something to celebrate for him, who has been in the near-invisible state of the second generation of bloodline before.

"Master Odis, Lord Frey is looking for you......"

At this moment, a Bloodline next to him stepped forward and whispered in Otis's ear.

After hearing the other party's words, a little surprise flashed in Otis's eyes, why did Frey appear here at this point in time?

Don't the low hills need to be guarded?

With a little surprise, Odis stood up, and after a few words of conversation with several halfling nobles, quietly left the lively banquet hall.

Guided by the Bloodline, Odis entered the back hall, but was surprised the moment he stepped inside.

"Your Majesty?"

At this time, Li Dezheng was standing under the brightly colored murals in the back hall with his hands in his hands, and his temperament was elegant and calm.

After hearing the voice, Li De turned his head and smiled slightly at Otis's surprised expression.

"What, you don't know me anymore?"

At this time, Otis came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to his chest.

"Good night, Your Majesty, I just didn't expect you to come out of nowhere."

After speaking, his eyes condensed slightly, as if he remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any tasks that I need to perform?" ”

According to Li De's character, under normal circumstances, he will inevitably appear in a dignified manner, and it is rare for him to hide his identity and come quietly, so he asked this question.

"Mission?" Li De smiled, "How about you become the city lord of the Black Iron Castle in the future?" ”

Otis was not stupid either, and immediately felt a pang in his heart, "Your Majesty, are we planning to do something to the halfling?" ”

"Tonight, all the halflings are here?"

Li De answered the question, but Otis instantly understood.

"Your Majesty, they're all here.

Tonight is going to add a few new partners to redistribute benefits, and the halflings we supported before have had a good effect, so we plan to take this opportunity to expand our influence......"

"There's no need to work so hard, after today, the Black Iron Castle will only follow the orders of the town hall."

Li De's eyes were calm, "I sneaked in to see if there was a transcendent hidden in this city. ”

"Extraordinary? Did you notice the other person's traces? ”

"The city is not extraordinary."

Otis wondered if he had misheard, and why he heard a little regret in Lide's tone.

Li De's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was a little subtle.

It's not half difficult to push the city across with the power of Daybreaker, but after all, there are many hidden forces in the underworld.

So for the sake of safety, he went in first to confirm whether the Black Iron Fort had a strength beyond what the army could deal with, otherwise if there was a transcendent and a forbidden spell at a critical moment, how many people would he lose?

But now it seems that the city is still overrated.

It is true that what a terrifying combat power the transcendent is, it is normal for the number to be scarce, not everyone is like the city of dawn, and a few transcendent ones have appeared overnight.

"Your Majesty, how are we going to ...... next?"

Before Otis could finish speaking, the hall outside suddenly became lively.

"Lord Mohali......"

"Good night to the Lord of Collins."

There was a commotion outside, as if some big man had arrived.

Li De smiled slightly when he heard this, and walked straight out.

"Odis, follow me to meet the last lord of the Black Iron Castle, and after that, the city will be a thing of the past."

"As you wish, Your Majesty."

Otis showed a little excitement in his eyes, Li De's breakthrough to the extraordinary is not a secret among the high-level, he has confidence in his heart, and his waist is naturally hard.

Collins Greypaw, a level 18 halfling, has been feeling a lot of pressure lately as the lord of Black Iron Castle.

Because the edge of the City of Dawn is too strong.

Although the two sides are currently in a cooperative relationship, the City of Dawn has supported several halfling nobles who were originally not treated by him with their excellent goods, and the influence of these nobles has increased greatly during this time, causing him a lot of obstacles.

Moreover, the other party's Daybreak Sect has been preaching frantically recently, which has made Black Iron City's own sect feel great danger, and many people even let him stop the other party's mission every day.

But that's not the point, the point is that the other party has recently wanted to extend its influence to the army, this discovery made him angry, the army is his taboo, and it is absolutely intolerable.

So today, he specially brought the protector of the Black Iron Mage Tower, the level 18 archmage Mohari Greypaw, with him.

In order to suppress the arrogance of Daybreaker, he wanted these damn vampires to know who was the master of the Black Iron Castle.

"Where's that vampire?"

The original bustle and greetings fell silent after Collins Greypaw's indifferent words rang out.

Looking at the domineering Collins, everyone halfling sensed that something was wrong.

It's not like a banquet at all, it's more like a sin call.

This made the eyes of many halfling nobles roll slightly, and their hearts began to calculate.

"Otis! Damn vampires!!

The Lord of the Black Iron Castle has arrived, come out and greet him! ”

At this time, the two halfling guards behind Collins shouted loudly, and their tone was extremely disrespectful.

There was another round of discussion among the surrounding crowd, and it was clear that this scene exceeded everyone's expectations.

But no one talked.

The scene was so quiet that it could be heard.

Stomping~

Just as the atmosphere was getting stiffer and stiffer, suddenly footsteps sounded in the quiet hall.

This immediately caught everyone's attention.

With the sound of footsteps, a figure with an elegant temperament like a royal family and nobles who have been inherited for thousands of years, with an almost perfect appearance, appeared in front of everyone from the back hall.

"The City Lord of Kachar?"

Collins was startled, and his eyes rose a little jealous.

The last time they met, Li De's terrifying momentum made him still feel palpitations.

But after Yu Guang saw the level 18 archmage behind him, his confidence was restored.

The level 18 archmage is definitely the trump card power of Black Iron City, and he doesn't believe that the vampire on the other side can compete.

"Lord Collins, what's wrong?"

Li De's eyes were indifferent, and after scanning the crowd, he raised his eyebrows.

The strongest is the level 18 archmage...... It's a bit boring.

Hearing Li De's unkind words, Collinton, who was already in the mood to ask for guilt, was furious.

slapped the table and shouted coldly at Li De.

"Lord Kachar, when we first cooperated, it was agreed that Daybreak City could not do anything to harm the Black Iron Castle.

Now, your people have crossed the line, not only supporting some halflings who want to fight against me, but also planning to control the army of the Black Iron Castle!! ”

When Li De heard this, he suddenly remembered a very interesting sentence from the earth, if the treaty is not meant to be torn up, then why should it be signed?

His face remained unchanged, and he glanced at a circle of halflings with different expressions, and smiled.

"What are you going to do?"

Collins frowned, and Li De's calmness made him feel uneasy, but he still suppressed the strangeness in his heart and spoke.

"From today onwards, all business cooperation in Dawnbreak City can only be carried out with the City Lord's Manor, and you must ask the City Lord Manor for instructions before each mission, and you can only proselytize after obtaining approval."

Li De glanced at this level 18 halfling rather strangely when he heard this.

This guy ...... Is it trying to eat it all?

"What if we don't say yes?"

"No promise?" Collins looked at Li De, who had a flat breath on his body and looked like an ordinary person, his eyes were cold, "No, City Lord Kachar, you will agree!" ”

As the words fell, the magic power on the gray-robed archmage beside him instantly surged.

The power is terrifying.

Many halflings around them even felt like they had encountered an evil dragon in the wasteland at this moment, and the huge pressure made it difficult for them to breathe.

"Hiss~ Archmage Mohari is getting stronger and stronger!"

"I heard that last month, Archmage Mohari killed a level 15 ghost wolf with a single spell......"

"This is terrifying, those two vampires on the other side are just afraid that they will be scared silly by Lord Mohari!"

"Alas, it's a pity, I was still thinking about getting some franchises from them, but I didn't expect them to be all owned by the city lord's manor now......"

There was a lot of discussion around, but none of these halflings thought that Li De would not agree.

After all, this is the protector of the Black Iron Castle, an archmage whose level has reached level 18.

Li De felt the pressure, and his face was a little stunned.

That's it???

Seeing that Li De didn't speak, Collins flashed a little satisfied, and he was already sure of today's goal.

Even if the other party can contend with the Mohali Archmage, he is afraid that he will not want to have a conflict in the Black Castle City, this is still his territory, and once the fight starts, he has absolute confidence that he can stay with the other party.

"Now, I think the city lord of Kachar should agree, right?"

Li De smiled, "I have a better way......"

Collins laughed when he saw this scene, the first time he saw Li De, he thought that there might be a battle today, after all, the aura on the opponent's body was very strong last time.

But I didn't expect the other party to admit it now.

The smile of this level 18 halfling city lord became brighter and brighter.

"Say, Lord of Cachar."

But at this moment, Li De said something that stunned the crowd in the eyes of everyone in the hall.

"From today onwards, Black Iron Castle will become the territory of the City of Dawn, and there will be no need to discuss mutual distribution in the future."

Collins' face froze, "What did you say??" ”

His eyes instantly filled with anger, "City Lord Kachar, don't joke at this time. ”

"Are you kidding?" Li De, the smile on his face slowly converged, and the light in his eyes was like an eagle falcon hunting, piercing people's ears and eyes.

"You deserve me to joke with you?"

As soon as the words came out, the whole hall was shocked.

All the halflings looked at Li De with an indescribable gaze.

Did they hear that right?

Under the persecution of a level 18 archmage, this vampire dared to say such a thing?!

Isn't he afraid of facing the wrath of Lord Mohali??

But in the next second, an indescribable aura permeated the hall.

The sky is falling, and the space is distorted.

At this moment, everyone only felt that their souls were trembling.

Collins, who had just risen into anger, widened his eyes at this time, and looked at Li De, who had just been as calm as an ordinary person, with an extremely shocked gaze.

If the level 18 archmage Mohari is an evil dragon in the wasteland, then at this time, Li De's aura is like an ancient evil god who has swept through more than a dozen planes with a sword and killed from the abyss.

Terrifying, invincible.

The two are not one-dimensional beings at all.

Li De stared at the crowd around him indifferently, and the 23rd level transcendent aura erupted at this moment, and the coercion that penetrated deep into the soul was like a god above the nine heavens on a high throne looking down on all beings.

No one can resist this might, no one dares to look him in the eyes, no one dares to touch his majesty.

Scarlet Lord, when the enemy stares into your eyes, you will be forcibly subjected to a Legendary Will test, and if you fail the Will test, the opponent will be afraid of you, and all your attributes will be reduced by 20%.

Immortal King, when facing a dark creature with a legend of less than 10 points, the opponent will fall into a negative state such as fear, panic, and weak will, and his attributes will be reduced by 20%,

When terror strikes, the enemy will be tested every 10 seconds, and below the threshold, they will fall into boundless fear

Two titles, one aura-type skill, instantly plunged this hall into boundless fear.

At the beginning, before the transcendental, the life of the same level could not withstand the superposition of Li De's three skills, and at this time, the transcendent will release this power after the extraordinary.

The effect has increased by a factor of 10.

Plop ~ Plop ~

Under the impact of this sky-collapsing aura, those halfling nobles sat directly on the ground with weak legs, and they couldn't even raise the slightest will to resist in their hearts.

The vampire in front of them was really like death at the moment, and their souls were trembling.

It's horrible.

"Super, extraordinary?!!"

Collins Greypaw, the level 18 halfling city lord, had wide eyes at this time, his face full of disbelief and horror.

He never thought that this vampire would be an extraordinary-level existence!

Endless fear consumed him, and at the same time, unspeakable regret rose in his heart, if he knew that the other party was extraordinary, let alone threatened, he would not see him......

Mohali, a level 18 archmage, is still gritting his teeth and using the magic power in his body under this overwhelming pressure, and as an archmage, his heart is still resolute enough.

You can't just admit defeat, resist, absolutely resist!

"That's all?"

Li De looked at all this indifferently, and then without any more nonsense, his right hand stretched out, and the scarlet power instantly ignited.

Then, under the shocked gaze of everyone, the five fingers clenched into fists slightly.

Puff~

The blood exploded, and the flower of death bloomed.

The level 18 halfling city lord exploded and died directly.

The scene suddenly fell into extreme silence, and the fear in the hearts of this group of halflings intensified tenfold, a hundredfold at this moment.

Regardless of the identity of the city lord, but this is a level 18 halfling......

Level 18!!

There are only two in the whole city.

Now, in front of everyone, I was directly pinched!!

Dying with no dignity is like a worm being trampled to death on the side of the road.

So what's the point of their resistance??

The self-confidence of the halflings in the house was fatally shocked.

Mohali's heart trembled when he saw this scene, his legs weakened and he fell directly to the ground, and the magic power that he had finally condensed collapsed directly at this moment.

The smell of blood in the air was strong and pungent, and when everyone looked at Li De, who was standing gracefully, their eyes were shrouded in fear.

It's like looking at an evil god......
