The battle on the side of the Snow Castle came to an end temporarily, and when Luo Sheng went back to his room to rest, in the central tent of the barbarians outside the Snow Castle, an old witch doctor who was described as withered and covered with bone magic weapons glanced at the dim red flames in the skull at the top of his staff, and shook his head slightly.

"Massari, has the poison of the blood soul been solved?, did they directly execute those poisoned wounded?" Seeing the expression of the old witch doctor, the barbarian shaman sitting on the main seat, the barbarian commander Parek, who was in charge of the attack on Xuelong Pass, asked a little eagerly.

This attack on Snow Castle was presided over by Parek, and although it did not mobilize all the strength of the barbarians, it also concentrated a considerable part of the barbarians' strength. I thought that even if I couldn't completely destroy the second line of defense of Zhixue Castle, it would bring huge casualties to Zhixue Castle and force Zhixue Castle to use the hidden counterattack hole cards.

But what Parek didn't expect was that he used three gold-level masters, dozens of silver-level, hundreds of bronze-level and tens of thousands of ordinary troops, using multiple attacks, and actually didn't pose much threat to the second defense line of the snow castle, and even the defensive measures were not destroyed much.

On the contrary, on their own side, not only did most of the elite of the raid lose most of them, but the troops who wanted to rush up the city wall in the follow-up were also bombarded by the magic and ballista weapons of the Snow Castle, and the damage was extremely serious. If it weren't for the retreat of the three gold-level masters, and the elites who rushed up the city wall also caused a lot of damage to the defenders, the first battle commanded by Parek could only be regarded as a big defeat.

Parek, who was a little dissatisfied with the situation of the battle, but did not have much other options, had to pin his hopes on the poison of Massari's blood soul. If the defenders react more slowly and the number of poisoners increases, the poison of the Blood Soul can cause great trouble for the defenders. Even if the barbarians can't directly attack the snow castle, it can greatly weaken the strength and morale of the defenders, and greatly reduce the difficulty of attacking the city in the future.

But judging from Massari's reaction and timing, it was clear that the Blood Soul Poison did not have the best effect. The defenders should have dealt decisively with the poisoned wounded. Although this can demoralize the defenders, it is undoubtedly much less effective than poisoners and defenders killing each other, and the ideal effect of spreading the toxin on a large scale is much worse.

"No, they didn't put the poisoned to death, but cured the poison of the blood soul. Massari, whose face was full of wrinkles and strange patterns, shook his head again and said in a low tone.

"Healed the Blood Soul Poison?Is there a Gold-Rank Priest in the Snow Castle?Is it the God of War Church?Shouldn't this be?"

Those who can cure the poison of blood souls are generally only priest professions above the gold rank, but in the case of the Holy See of Light clearly stating that it will deal with Baron Cook, the only one that is possible to send a gold-level priest to support the Snow Dragon Pass is the Church of the God of War that the Elson royal family believes in.

However, the Church of the God of War is not a powerful Holy See of Light, in fact, because of the relationship between the Arcane Empire's final release of the seal, except for the God of Light, who can influence the present world relatively easily, and occasionally send down miracles, it is difficult for other gods to project their divine power to the Ymir Continent, and only in some special places, or through special rituals, can they affect the present world on a small scale.

And the result of the gods' inability to cast their divine power at will is that although the gods have more than enough to protect themselves, they are powerless to expand. After all, after leaving their own holy land, without the blessing of divine power, the strength of the priests of the major sects is not much stronger than that of the spellcasters of the same level, and it is quite difficult to subdue other forces.

In addition to the inability of the major sects to expand, the gods' inability to cast divine power at will has another effect, which is that the gods are not attractive enough to young people with cultivation potential. After all, the practice of the priesthood depends on the talent potential, one's own efforts, and a large part of it, depending on the blessing of divine power. Sometimes, a single charisma can be worth a pastor's years of practice, or even a lifetime's effort.

In the case that the gods cannot exert influence on the Imir continent at will, although the gods can obtain some divine graces through some rituals or in some special places, the number is quite limited, and can only meet the growth needs of the most core part of the priests.

In contrast, the Holy See of Light, which can obtain divine grace more conveniently, is particularly attractive to young people with potential. After all, pastors are also professionals, and they all want to rise through the ranks quickly and gain great power. Since it is easier to obtain divine grace in the Holy See of Light and can grow faster, these qualified people are naturally more willing to join the Holy See of Light.

In fact, in the original Twilight War, the Cult of the Gods was either overtly or covertly on the side of the Human Kingdom Alliance against the Holy See of Light, which is also related to this. If the Holy See of Light unifies the continent, and does not even need to unify the continent, it only needs to expand its influence to the entire continent and have the qualifications to recruit priests in the whole continent, then with the attraction of the Holy See of Light for priests, the foundation of the major sects can be hollowed out step by step. Over time, the sect that does not have enough follow-up strength will gradually shrink or even die. And without the deities of the sect, the fate is not much better. So at that time, in order to save their own fate, the gods stood on the opposite side of the Holy See of Light.

However, after the Battle of Twilight, the major sects basically chose a contraction strategy, and there was not much fighting with each other. Except for their own core areas, the rest of the faith is basically in a state of maintenance. Although the royal family of Elson worships the god of war, it is by no means a devout believer, so the kingdom of Elson is not a place of protection for the Church of the God of War, and the Church of the God of War has not sent a strong priest to garrison it.

In fact, even the presiding officer of the God of War Church in the royal capital was only a priest at the peak of silver, and he had not reached the gold level. The kings are like this, not to mention the Snow Dragon Pass in the border pass. Therefore, the possibility of the God of War Church taking action is almost zero.

"It's not the Golden Priest, it's the little druid. Massari shook his head and said, "It seems that I still underestimated this little friend." Not only does he know a lot about voodoo in general, but he also knows a lot about the characteristics of blood soul poison!"

"That Rason?bronze-level druid?how is this possible?" Parek said with a slight startle, a little incredulous.

Parek knew the power of the Blood Soul Poison best, otherwise he would not have said that Massari would take out the Blood Soul Poison as a means of the last wave of attacks. However, the poison of the blood soul, which can now pose a threat to the gold-tier masters, has been lifted by a bronze-level druid, a result that Parek cannot accept.

"Nothing is impossible. The poison of the blood soul used this time is only a weakened version, it does not come with too much soul power, the speed of eroding the soul is very slow, and the other party is familiar with the poison, and there is a way to curb the growth of the toxin, so it is nothing to be able to get rid of it. Massari's tone was calm, but a terrifying cold glint flashed in his eyes. "But I'm really interested in this Rasheng. At such a young age, he has such a deep attainment in poison refining, and I really want to communicate with this kid face-to-face! If I can refine him into my ghost servant, it would be the best. ”

In the contest these days, Massari can be said to have been repeatedly slapped in the face by Rasen. Although with his status, ordinary barbarians do not dare to say anything strange, but among the high-level, there are already people who are vaguely dissatisfied with his ability. This made Massari, who was already gloomy and vicious, firmly remember Luo Sheng's name and listed him as his worst enemy.

"Massari, do you think we need to fight this battle again?" Hearing Massari's explanation, Parek calmed down, and after a moment of silence, Parek asked with a solemn expression.

"Hmm? In such a good situation, do you want to back down? You must know that if we go all out, we can definitely take the Snow Dragon Pass. Massari looked up at the burly Parek and asked, with some surprise.

Although the barbarians' attacks were repeatedly thwarted, it was only because the barbarians did not have a unified force. If the barbarians really attacked with all their might, Massari believed that the Snow Dragon Pass would not be able to stop it.

"I know that we can take the Snow Dragon Pass by ability, but at what cost? You have also seen Baron Cook's combat power, do you think if we go all out, he will pull a few people on his back? And the silver rank generals, how much do we have to lose to occupy the Snow Dragon Pass?" Parek said with a frown.

Parek didn't care very much about the casualties of the barbarians at the bottom, but for the life and death of the high-level, especially the gold-level masters, Parek couldn't ignore it, after all, these forces were the real bargaining chips of the barbarians. If too much high-end power is lost in the Snow Dragon Pass, even if the Snow Dragon Pass is broken, it will not be cost-effective for the barbarians.

The barbarians were full of confidence before, because although Baron Cook was strong, after gathering five or six gold-level masters, it was possible to solve Baron Cook without paying too much price. But after the real fight, the barbarians found that Baron Cook's strength was not what it used to be, relying only on the strength of the barbarians, even if Parek and Massari both made a move, Baron Cook would definitely be able to pull one or two, or even more people to die with him. As a result, Parek was a little hesitant.

"What about the opinions of the chiefs?" asked Massari, who pondered for a moment and looked up.

Although Parek, the great shaman, can nominally lead the entire army, he is not the true legendary guardian of the barbarians. In fact, the power of the major clans is still in the hands of the various chiefs, and Parek only plays a coordinating role. Whether to continue the fight or not, the opinions of the major clans are also important.

"Now the opinions of the various clans are not unanimous. Some people still want to continue fighting, but some have already wanted to quit. Parek said, shaking his head.

The reason why the major clans supported this battle, in addition to the purpose of consuming the old and weak population, also had an important purpose, which was to consume the strength of some small and medium-sized clans, and then annex them after returning to strengthen themselves. As for being able to break through the Snow Dragon Pass and go to Elson to loot, it is not a task that must be completed.

Now that the battle has reached this point, the goal of consuming the old and weak has basically been achieved, and many small and medium-sized clans have volunteered or been forced to become victims of the war. So some clans, such as the Ice Wind Clan and the Snow Forest Clan, where the chieftain was hit hard, no longer want to fight anymore.

But there are still some clans, such as Frost, Glacier, and Snow Cliff, that are still fighting and want to keep fighting. So for a while, Parek couldn't make up his mind.

Just as the two of them hesitated, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and an old man in a robe of light walked in.

"Grand Shaman Parek, are you ready to defy Lord Gurrell's will?" said Archbishop Elston of the Turin Sect in a condescending tone.
