Chapter 255: The Storm Rises (10,000 Words Big Chapter Asks for Subscription)

Mingtan Island, a small island standing at the junction of the northern part of the Sword Sea and the southern part of the Sword Bay, is surrounded by several affiliated islands.

To the west of it are the Lunaris Islands, to the east near Baldur's Gate, to the north by the Korins, and to the south by the Nærancer Islands.

In terms of location, it can be called an important maritime transportation hub.

This is also the reason why Luskan would take huge political and military risks to capture the island of Mingtan.

Taking control of this place means that it can form a strategic suppression of hostile city-states such as Neverwinter and Waterdeep at sea.

Not to mention the huge profits that can be brought by monopolizing the trade routes around Jianwan.

Unfortunately, unlike other city-states in the Northlands, Myentan is afraid of the power of the Luskan Arcane Brotherhood and its fleet of pirates.

As a result, in a naval battle, Luskan's fleet was defeated by Mingtan Island and its allies, and fled back in disgrace.

In battle, those brilliant sailors and mercenaries impressed all who witnessed the course of the war.

Since then, the Arcane Brotherhood has never had the idea of fighting the island.

Of course, this is not because Luskan is not strong, but because the price to pay to take this place is too high, and there is nothing too valuable on the island itself, so it will have to be abandoned in the end.

In addition, due to the pronunciation, many people often mistake Myentham Island for Lantan Island south of the Nlancel Islands.

The latter is the foundation of the beliefs of Gunde, the god of craftsmen.

It is rumored that humans and gnomes there hated demonic magic and worshipped technology, and many complex and advanced machines and crafts were born here.

It can even be said that Lantan Island is the place with the most advanced productivity and production technology in the entire Faren Continent except for the magical factor.

It's a pity that the island is closed to the outside world all year round, and there is little communication with the outside world.

Obviously, the god of craftsmen, Gunde, is not a fool, and understands how the inventions and creations of his followers will affect the world, and how many gods who are more powerful than him will be angered.

Therefore, it was decided to close the country to ensure that those overly advanced technologies would not affect the existing productivity and production level of the Pheren continent.

To put it simply, it's just playing by yourself behind closed doors.

Zuo Si has always wanted to visit Lantan Island, but unfortunately he never found the opportunity.

Vanessa apparently saw the confusion from the leader of the organization, and hurriedly explained in a low voice, "Luskan did have a naval battle with Mingtan Island.

But the problem is that since the rise of the Nälancer Islands, not only has there been a huge backlog of pirates' living space, but also a large amount of trade has been stolen from Mingtan Island.

Especially their mercenaries, it is already difficult to find any decent work.

Therefore, if a third party comes forward to take the lead, it is not impossible to conclude an alliance. ”

"The enemy of the enemy is a friend? It's kind of interesting. I'll give you forty-eight hours to find out what's going on on Myentan Island. Zuo Si gave the order straightforwardly.

It was only at times like this that he could feel the power and power that came with being the leader of a powerful spellcaster organization.

In many cases, as long as there is a sentence, the people below will go all out to implement it.

"I have already sent someone to investigate, and I believe that the results will be available soon." Vanessa gave assurances without thinking.

Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Then this matter will be handed over to you."

Remember, if Mingtan Island is really allied with Luskan, then destroy it mercilessly.

Whether it's the self-proclaimed tyrant Tarnshir Embuyin Khan, or those stupid and arrogant mercenaries, give me a clean up that leaves nothing behind.

In the future, adventurers and adventure squads can be allowed to exist in any area controlled by the organization, but mercenaries are absolutely not allowed.

These guys, who do anything for money, are a bunch of scourges and social instability.

So I don't care what their background is, one counts as one, the first time they enter they give a verbal warning, the second time they are fined hefty and deported.

If you dare to have a third time, immediately gather forces to destroy me on the spot. ”

When he said this, Zuo Si did not hide his naked and undisguised disdain and disgust for the mercenary group.

He had a bad impression of most of the mercenaries, who either ransacked the surrounding villages and towns, or tried to create chaos and tension and earn a lot of gold from their wealthy employers.

Wherever these people are present, the situation will basically become turbulent in a very short time.

After all, the mercenary market will only be bullish when there is to be a war.

For example, the kingdom of Tesser, which is in the midst of a fierce civil war, has several mercenary groups ranging in size from a few hundred to one or two thousand.

They may still be working for one of the noble lords today, and tomorrow they will join another faction and turn around against their former employers.

No way, who will let the other party give more money.

It can be seen that the so-called professional ethics are all bullshit for most mercenaries.

"Understood! I swear I'll make sure those mercenaries on Myeongtan Island never see tomorrow's sunrise again. Vanessa's eyes gleamed with a terrifying chill.

Clearly, the necromantic archmage was ready for a massacre to get the stupid ones all to join his army of undead.

"Don't be in such a hurry. We are a neutral organization that is reasonable. Even if you want to do it, you have to grab the other party's handle first. And I have a hunch that this time Mingtan Island's actions must be inseparable from the red-robed wizard or the Santarin Society. ”

Zuo Si casually said his speculation.

Ever since he learned that the Arcane Brotherhood was working with these two organizations, he had been fully prepared.

Even if Manson and Sazastan came, they could not avoid the end of the Arcane Brotherhood's rule over Luskan.

"I'll be careful."

Vanessa nodded slightly, then turned and headed to the teleportation of the Mage Tower, returning to the Nrainthor Islands with the help of a fixed portal.

He was joined by several new lichs who had joined the core of the Order.

After all these people were gone, Zuo Si focused on making a suitable weapon for himself.

There was no doubt that with his current financial resources and the magical metals and materials in his hands, he was fully capable of making a secondary artifact like the Archmage's Staff.

Unfortunately, the staff is too cumbersome to use, and is far less comfortable with other weapons.

So after much thought, Zuosi decided to make a melee weapon instead of the cane that most mages traditionally use.

Although he himself has not received any form of melee training, he can gain experience with a lot of magic and magic.

In addition, melee weapons are far more confusing than staffs, making them confused about the situation and making wrong judgments.

Just do it!

Since you want to create a melee weapon, you must choose a special metal that can hold the magic power of the main material.

Secondly, a series of complex designs must be carried out in advance, such as how many magic symbols to be inlaid in total, what meaning each one represents, and what kind of effect it can have, all of which must be repeatedly checked and corrected.

In the end, it is necessary to integrate the different systems of magical knowledge that Zuo Si has collected so far, and inject all of them into this weapon.

At that time, at least dozens of spells from the first ring to the ninth ring will be required.

Due to the amount of work, Zuo Si quickly forgot about the forces under his command, and unknowingly began to secretly fight with Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood no less than dozens of times.

Almost at the same time, in a tavern in the harbor of Myeongtan Island, a middle-aged woman in a red robe with a very obvious tattoo mark on the back of her bare head was sitting at a table, yawning boredly.

Judging by the outfit and signature tattoos, it's easy to tell that this guy is a member of the Red Robe Wizarding Society.

After about ten seconds, a man in chain mail walked in from outside and bowed respectfully: "Master Garnir, according to your orders, we have successfully eliminated Tarnhil Enbuyin Khan and controlled the entire island. ”

"Well done."

The woman, known as Master Garnier, stood up and slowly walked out of the tavern door.

I saw that at this moment, the port and city of Mingtan Island had been completely occupied by the red-robed wizards from Serre and their troops.

Although the number of these armies was not large, only about five hundred.

However, they were exceptionally well equipped, and there were even quite a few low-level mages and apprentices on their side to help.

Coupled with the cooperation of some local mercenaries, they finally defeated the island's guards at a very low cost.

As for Tarnhil Enbuyin Khan, who had a certain warrior level, he was killed on the spot.

Judging by the charred black corpse hanging in a conspicuous place, he died in the face of the Great Fireball Lake, or was directly hit by lightning magic.

"I'll give you two days to concentrate all the forces on Mingtan Island and prepare to launch a sneak attack on the Nærancer Islands with Luskan's fleet." Garnier gave the order without looking back.

As the supreme leader of the Red Robe Wizarding Guild in the north-central region, she obviously has a very deep interest in the Arcane Brotherhood for a long time.

Whether it's the lucrative profits from selling addictive narcotics or the purchase of Neserre-era relics dug up from the ground, it will be favored by the Tour's mentors and chiefs at the top of the Order.

After all, it is important for mages to have sufficient research funds, not to mention the relics of Netheril's era that can be used for research.

Relying on these two points, Garnier was able to climb to his current position as a lv11 plastic energy master master.

Otherwise, generally speaking, within the Red Robe Wizarding Association, the top decision-maker in a certain region like this usually needs a Ring Law Mentor with at least lv13 to lv15 to serve as the Ring Law Mentor.

It's just that due to the sparse population and the location of the wild frozen soil in the northern land of Faerun and Luskan, there are not many people who are willing to come to blow the cold wind, which makes her pick up a big bargain.

In fact, the Serre Concession, which appeared at Baldur's Gate not long ago, was actually Garnier's handiwork.

Using the contradictions of factions within a town as an entry point, and then finding the right time to put your hand into it, has always been her forte.

"Master, I don't understand, why did you agree to the conditions proposed by the Arcane Brotherhood? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't we be neutral and not help each other, until one of them is in decline, and then reach out and ask for a good reward? The man in the chain mail cautiously tentatively asked.

In Serre, the red-robed mages have supreme status and power.

As for the others, all of them have to offer a variety of services around these "bald olds" who have shaved their hair in order to increase the area of their magical tattoos.

Therefore, even if he is a strong warrior and captain, he must pay attention to the tone and attitude of his speech.

Otherwise, the sinister and cunning woman in front of her may deliberately arrange to die in the next mission at any time.

Garnier pursed the corners of his lips and explained meaningfully, "No, you don't understand, the rise of the Nälancer Islands has begun to squeeze our profits.

In particular, a large number of low-cost magic items, equipment, and potions are robbing us of the market and customers that should belong to us.

This, combined with the fact that they have forbidden all pirates from their control, has caused the Arcane Brotherhood to quickly deplete its funds and make it impossible to buy more goods from us.

With all of the above in mind, I decided to join forces with the Arcane Brotherhood and launch a sneak attack with the advance base of Myentan Island.

It doesn't matter if it fails, as long as they can deal a heavy blow to the port and city they have just built, then the situation will be alleviated.

What's more, all this is what Myeongtan Island did, isn't it?

It has nothing to do with us Searles. ”

Moment!

The warrior understood the sinister thoughts of the bald woman in front of him, and immediately glanced with sympathetic eyes at the mercenaries who were still cheering for victory not far away.

You don't have to ask to know that these guys have been tricked, and they will be sent to death as cannon fodder.

None of them will survive this sneak attack.

From the decision made by Garnier, it is not difficult to see that she has no idea who is behind the Nerancer Islands.

After all, Vanessa and the other lichs were only manipulating behind the scenes, and never actually showed up to the forefront.

And the conversation between the two has long been heard clearly by a thief hiding in the dark.

After gathering enough information, the latter quickly found a place where no one was around, activated the teleportation magic scroll he carried with him, and disappeared without a trace.

Obviously, he is the spy that the lich planted on Mingtan Island.

……

Meanwhile, in the halls of the lords of Neverwinter Castle, Lord Nasir is reading a piece of information sent by his men.

It took a full minute before he asked in disbelief, "Is this information accurate?" Are the orcs of the Northland dying en masse for some unknown reason? ”

"Of course! I assure you in my honor and with my life that this incredible scene is happening. To this end, I went to several orc camps close to Neverwinter, and found that there was not a single living person in them, except for the corpses that had been eaten beyond recognition by wild beasts. In addition, judging by the state of the deceased, the cause of their death was some terrible disease. ”

A human thief covered in tan skin replied in the affirmative without thinking.

As the head of Neverwinter's intelligence agency, he is one of the members of the Neverwinter Nine.

It's just that he needs to lurk in the dark all year round to collect intelligence and spy on the enemy, so he rarely appears in public.

"What do you mean...... A plague is spreading among the orc tribes? Are there signs of infection in our people? ”

Lord Nasir was clearly aware of the seriousness of the problem.

After all, the plague is terrible.

Once the damage caused by the spread is not good, the population of a city will be halved in an instant.

In addition to this, the death of a large number of civilians generates panic and riots.

He would rather take up his sword and fight the evil army of Luskan than face the invisible threat of the plague.

The intelligence director shook his head slightly: "Not yet. All those who came back, including me, went to the temple of the God of Justice and had the priest check it out. And I also found that the corpses were only orcs, not those half-orcs. Similarly, the nearby tribes of goblins and barbarians were not affected in the slightest. ”

"A plague that only infects orcs? How is this possible! Erebeth couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ma'am, it's not impossible. At least I know of a person who can do that. He's been to Neverwinter a while ago, and he's even made an alliance with us to deal with our evil neighbor Luskan to the north. The intelligence director was blunt about his guesses.

"The Chosen One of Talona, the Goddess of Poison and Disease—Soth?"

An expression of sudden realization instantly appeared on Lord Nasir's face, but then he frowned and asked, "Why did he do this?" ”

The intelligence director replied in a tone of uncertainty that he was not very sure, "Personally, I am inclined to say that he is taking revenge on the orcs for his wanted bounty and an attack that happened near Silvermoon City not long ago.

According to information obtained from the harper, the orc gods sent two electors and a large number of elite warriors to try and kill Soth, but ultimately failed.

So in retaliation, it makes sense that he unleashed a terrible plague against the orcs as revenge.

You must know that this young man has a strong vindictive spirit that is different from ordinary people.

And he never treats orcs, goblins, gnolls, ogres, and other intelligent humanoids as human beings.

In Ascatla, he even raised a group of goblins infected with bestiality, which he sold to mages who needed to experiment with necromantic magic. ”

"So...... Is this situation a good thing for us? ”

Lord Nasir stroked the bushy beard on his chin.

"Yes. The absence of the threat of orcs is a good thing for all the towns and villages in the Northlands. At least don't have to worry about the orc invasion and raiding in the autumn and winter every year. Without thinking, the intelligence chief replied in the affirmative.

He had seen too many villages slaughtered by these green-skinned and dirty beasts, and he had rescued many female captives who had been ravaged and abused, so he had no sympathy for the orcs at all, wishing that the orcs of the whole world were all dead.

In contrast, the paladin Erebes, who serves the god of justice, Tyr, seems to be more entangled.

On the one hand, she was happy for civilians who could live in peace without the threat of orcs.

On the other hand, her belief in justice does not allow for the release of the plague and the indiscriminate slaughter.

It may be this contradiction between order and kindness that led to its tragic fate.

Fortunately, Lord Nasir was a warrior and not a paladin, so he didn't bother with anything, and immediately couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha! No orcs? This is simply the best news I've heard in all the years I've been a lord. It seems that even the power of poison and plague can produce amazing effects when used in the right places. The next time we meet, I'll have to thank Soth. ”

"I've heard that he likes magical objects and books and knowledge about magic. Perhaps you may want to consider preparing one of these gifts. The intelligence chief also suggested with a smile on his face.

"Hmmm! I'll talk to the mages of the Cloak of the Stars later. Lord Nasir nodded slightly.

With this brief debriefing over, the Intelligence Director quickly turned and left Neverwinter Castle, leaving only Erebeth and Lord Nasir in the hall.

The latter obviously noticed the contradictions and struggles in the former's heart, and immediately explained with a smile: "Don't think so much, let alone try to drill the horns."

Justice is never absolute, but a very broad concept.

And you're not a pastor, so there's no need to try to define the good and evil tendencies of all kinds of actions.

You are a paladin, and the paladin only needs to follow his heart and intuition. ”

Erebeth replied with a wry smile, "But I really want to find out whether Soth's behavior should be considered good or evil?"

Judging by the results, his indiscriminate massacre of a race should certainly be regarded as an out-and-out evil act.

However, the slaughter of orcs indirectly freed many captives who were taken away as slaves, and at the same time gave civilians who had been plundered by orcs a relatively safe living environment.

If you look at it from the motives......"

Before the young half-elf paladin could finish speaking, Lord Nasir interrupted, "That's enough, didn't I tell you not to bother with this?"

The human heart and human nature are complex things, and it is impossible to classify them simply and crudely with good and evil.

Moreover, an evil beast like an orc, who only knows how to destroy and does not know how to produce and create, the more it dies, the better the whole world will become.

If you can't let go of this, talk to a pastor.

Also, I heard you've been very close to Vanswijk lately? ”

Moment!

Erebeth looked very embarrassed, blushing and hurriedly explained, "It's not what you imagined. We only occasionally get together to discuss our understanding of justice. You know, he's a pastor of a righteous God who can sort of answer some questions for me. ”

"Alright, alright, no need to explain."

Lord Nasir is a person from the past, how could he not know the little secret between the two.

But considering that Erebes is relatively thin-skinned, he didn't immediately debunk or make fun of him, but just casually found an excuse to send him away.

In fact, the news that the Orcs of the Northland had died of the plague soon swept through every town in the Northland like a hurricane.

All the local rulers who learned of this news finally realized that it was not an exaggeration for the Church of Talona to preach that Zosi was "the child of the plague", the "man of calamity", and the "destroyer of the world", but that he really had the ability to do so.

As a result, orders were issued to keep the highest level of attention to his whereabouts.

Because of the mass extinction of the Orcs in the Northland, many rulers of the Faren Continent with an online IQ realized that Zuo Si was an extremely terrifying biological and chemical weapon.

As long as he wants, he can make people and animals die within a radius of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers at any time.

In the same way, this fear of poison, disease, and pestilence invisibly strengthened Talona's influence.

In order to curry favor with this goddess, many places have built temples and statues in more conspicuous locations in the city.

The pastor, who was once shouted and beaten like a rat crossing the street, quickly moved from underground activities to openly soliciting believers.

And this expansion finally reached its first peak with the safe arrival of the first captives who had escaped from the wilderness of the north to the civilized world after many hardships.

Seeing this group of ragged relatives and friends who had been recognized as dead appear alive in front of them, many people cried with joy.

After listening to the story told by the other party, they decided to convert to Talona, the goddess of poison and disease.

There are also families with blood feuds with the orcs, who have thrown themselves into the arms of the church, learning with the priests how to concoct poison that can kill people, cultivating a plague that can easily turn a city into a dead place, and planning to poison the rampant orc tribes in the southern jungle.

When this accumulation of faith and influence reached a certain tipping point, the star in the night sky, which symbolized Talona, suddenly released a light ten thousand times brighter than usual.

And this light immediately made the gods realize that Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, had officially crossed the weak divine power and became one of the medium divine powers.

From now on, she didn't need to take refuge in any powerful divine power, and her own strength alone was enough to deal with the vast majority of enemies.

Undoubtedly, this increase in divine power not only made Talona herself ecstatic, but also attracted the jealousy of many other gods.

One of the most typical is Lauveta, who once served Barr, the god of murder, with her.

At this moment, in the realm of gods in the outer plane, this aggressive, domineering, and bold goddess is waving the whip in her hand and frantically whipping the souls of believers, roaring like crazy: "Why? Why Talona and not me? ”

It's a pity that no one can give her an answer.

Intense unwillingness, jealousy, and resentment are like poisonous snakes eroding her heart.

For a long time, Lauvita and Talona saw each other as rivals.

But now, the latter has opened a whole order of magnitude gap with the former.

What's even more infuriating is that the two had already discussed finding an opportunity to join the goddess of the night, Shar, after Baal's death.

But Talona clearly didn't need it at the moment.

Just as Lauveta was feeling resentful about it, a familiar figure descended on her realm.

It was none other than Talona, the goddess of poison and disease.

"What are you doing here? Showing off the power you've gained? Also, what's going on with you now? I remember that you used to show yourself as an old woman. Levita asked through gritted teeth.

"Show off?"

Talona smiled and shook her head.

"No, I don't have that much to spare. I have come today to extend an invitation to you.

I'm sure you already know that I now not only have enough strength to protect myself, but I can also give you some protection.

As for this image, it was originally my original appearance, but it was later transformed to a certain extent by the influence of believers.

But now, under the influence of a large number of new believers, I have returned to my original self.

Moreover, my most beloved Elect and Son of the Pestilence, South, apparently prefers me like this.

To be honest, I originally thought it would take at least a few years for me to advance to mid-level divine power.

But his recent actions in the Northland have accelerated the process to unimaginable proportions.

In particular, the statues and temples that appeared out of thin air greatly enhanced my influence.

Finally, I would like to thank His Majesty Io, the god of God.

If it weren't for the fact that he changed the rules in a turbulent year, my divine power would not have grown so quickly. ”

Hearing this, Lavita, who was already burning with jealousy in her heart, became even more resentful, and immediately sneered and sarcastically said: "But your elect do not believe in your teachings, and they are not even willing to have much contact with your mortal church. And he's at eye for the god of knowledge and the goddess of magic. The latter, in particular, was very fond of messing around with their constituents in the previous generation. ”

Moment!

Talona, who was still proud one second, turned gloomy the next, and at the same time felt that her head was green.

It was a full half a minute before she clenched her fists and shouted, "No one can snatch Soth!" He's mine! Both body and soul! If anyone dares to violate this line, then I will not hesitate to destroy the whole world and destroy myself as revenge. Remember! Lauveta! This is the first time you've violated my taboo, so I choose to forgive you. But if there is a next time, I will be more than happy to send you to the astral plane to lie down. ”

Seeing that the goddess of poison and disease showed signs of madness, Lauvita immediately closed her mouth and did not dare to continue to stimulate the other party.

She suddenly realized that the mortal who was known as the "Plague Child" had a terrifying status in the other party's mind.

They looked at each other like this for two or three minutes, and when Talona slowly regained her composure, Levita cautiously asked, "Do you really want to invite me?" ”

"That's right! As you wish, I am already a medium divine power, and will become even stronger in the near future, and will need some help from the gods. We know each other best, so if you agree to be my servant, I will give you refuge. ”

Talona didn't have any disguised straightforward conditions.

Because she knew that choosing Shar, the goddess of the night, was just an expedient measure, and it could also be called a back road.

In fact, one of the oldest twin goddesses did not fit the ideas of the two men in terms of doctrine.

But the problem is that with the fall of all the three gods of death, and the rise of Ciric, who inherited all the priesthood of the three gods of death, both Levita and Talona feel an unprecedented crisis.

After all, this madman dared to backstab the saint of the gods when he was still a mortal, and the degree of madness can be imagined.

In addition, both of them belong to the "remnants of the previous dynasty", so even for the sake of their own safety, they must first find a thick thigh to hug.

However, with Talona's promotion to mid-level power, it became clear that Lauvita had a better choice.

Although there was a fierce rivalry between the two goddesses, it was merely a rivalry and did not escalate into a conflict of grievances and priesthood.

What's more, they still know each other, so they don't have to worry about being plotted at all.

So after pondering for a moment, Levita immediately nodded in agreement, "Good! I agree to be your slave to God. ”

With that, she took the initiative to bend down and bow to show her respect for the Lord God.

Although this change of identity made the goddess of abuse feel a little uncomfortable and uncomfortable, it was obviously much more reliable than going to the goddess of the night, Shar.

In this way, the goddess of poison and disease and the goddess of abuse officially concluded an alliance between superiors and subordinates.

Almost at the same time, Shar, the goddess of the night in the wasteland of destruction and despair, clearly sensed this with her series of powerful priesthoods, and a playful smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she muttered to herself in a voice that only she could hear, "Has Lauvita rejected my invitation to form an alliance with Talona?" Interesting! It seems that the origin of everything has to do with the young man from another world. Luckily, I've already laid out a piece in advance, and all I need to do now is be patient. ”

As the last word blurted out, she raised her hand to create a dark gray mirror out of thin air.

Through the mirror, the vampire queen Badi can be seen lying on the couch with her favorite descendant of the dark elves, enjoying the aftermath of the flesh.

As vampires, they don't completely lose their physical senses like other undead creatures.

So they are more hedonistic than other undead creatures.

However, as one of the oldest twin goddesses in the world, Shar was not interested in this kind of frivolous behavior, and instead stared at the life that was born in Badi's lower abdomen with those dark and deep eyes.

After confirming that everything was normal, she closed the mirror and showed a satisfied expression: "What can be bred by the seeds of darkness born after the fall of the light is really exciting." It's a pity that the fragments of divine power left in the body of this Amanata Sage are too small. Otherwise......"

You don't need to ask to know that what happened in the underground temple of Askatra was the handiwork of this goddess.

All of a sudden, the conspiracy of the six-armed snake lord from the bottomless abyss, the goddess of the night, Shar, is about to break out into a great war with Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood, as well as the orcs who have suffered great losses and are eager for revenge......

The west coast of the Feren continent has once again become turbulent.

Zuo Si, who was at the center of the storm, still stayed in the mage tower like a nobody, engrossed in building a staff in the shape of a long sword for himself.

Yes!

You heard it right!

It's a staff in the shape of a sword!

In his opinion, the staff in the traditional sense of the Faeron continent is not suitable for him, and the magic wand of the Harry Potter world is too short.

Considering the occasional hand-to-hand combat, a sword with a variety of uses is the best choice.

However, this sword is slightly different from ordinary magic longsword, and its main function is to enhance spellcasting, rather than rushing up and slashing people.

As for the simple and crude blunt weapon, [Talona's favor] is enough.

Unfortunately, this artifact has not yet succeeded in capturing any of its valuable souls, so it will not be able to exert its full power for the time being.

Like Zuo Si, who is busy crafting magic items, there is also Mona Hill, the six-armed snake demon lord located deep underground.

It's just that she's making a teleportation orb.

When the bead was crafted from the fusion of countless gems, pearls, and human bones and embedded in the portal, a rift connected to the bottomless abyss was finally torn open.

Countless demons swarmed from the other side.

Among them, the one who rushed to the forefront was naturally the absolute ruler of the 531st layer of the abyss, the six-armed snake demon.

However, most ordinary snake demons are only three meters tall, far less massive than Monahir, who has become a minor lord.

They were like well-trained officers, controlling the low-level demons that were already chaotic at great speed, and kept them from running around.

However, due to the limited space in the temple and the surrounding tunnels, the first wave only teleported about three thousand demons.

Among them, the lowest-level cowardice accounts for the vast majority.

As cannon fodder within cannon fodder, they don't even have a complete sense of independence and intelligence, and simply rely on numbers to overwhelm the enemy.

Just a small fragment of the soul can create a cowardly demon.

Moreover, these guys are extremely timid and cowardly, and when they encounter enemies stronger than themselves, they will often scatter at great speed, or simply kneel down and beg for forgiveness.

This is where the word "cowardice" comes from.

Of course, the Demon Lords had already thought of a solution, which was to send a formidable team of warlords to slay down all the cowards who dared to turn around and flee.

A lot of mid-level and high-level demons are more than happy to perform such a task.

Sometimes, after a war, it is very likely that more cowards will die at the hands of their own people than at the hands of their enemies.

But compared to the soldiers of the ordinary human army, the cowardly demon is undoubtedly powerful.

Although their height is only about one meter and two three, they weigh 80 kilograms and have a strength attribute of more than 12 points.

Add to that a series of immunity, resistances, and spell-like abilities as a demon, such as [Panic] and [Stinky Cloud].

Once a large-scale release is successful, it will be a complete slaughter for human soldiers without caster support.

"Great lord, according to your orders, the army has been assembled, when can we attack?"

A six-armed snake demon came up to Mona Hill and asked respectfully.

"How's the war going on across the abyss?" Mona Hill couldn't help but ask about the situation in her hometown first.

After all, the abyss is her basic plate, and if the territory of her hometown is lost, it is meaningless for her to harvest many souls in the material world.

The six-armed snake demon replied without thinking, "It's still the same stalemate as when you left. The other side doesn't seem to have a plan to attack in recent times, every day?

?? As usual, some low-level demons are sent to symbolically launch a round of attacks, and then they will quickly retreat. ”

"Excellent! Since our old rivals have given us such an opportunity, let's take advantage of it. Take your men and give me to conquer every corner of the city's sewers at once. But be careful not to alarm the mortals above the ground yet. We'll surprise them again tomorrow night. ”

As she said this, Monahir couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick her lips.

She could already smell the evil scented souls in the city of Askatra, and the whole person was in a state of extreme excitement.

Because only such a soul can transform and create the most powerful demons.

In addition, luring those originally pure and noble souls into the abyss can also obtain very, very rich rewards from the abyss consciousness.

That's why countless Abyss Lords are keen to decorrupt mortals, especially the Paladin, who symbolize purity, nobility, and goodness.

Buffyment, the king of the minotaurs, and Pazu Zuzu, the demon king of the winds, will give him strength as soon as they hear a paladin begging for help.

In order to cast a long line to catch a big fish, so that the holy warriors will become dependent on the power they have given them, and eventually fall little by little.

Of course, the paladins also knew this.

So strictly speaking, the two sides are in a delicate state of game.

If the holy warriors can stick to their hearts, it will be equivalent to the power of these demon lords to survive the crisis.

But if he can't, the Demon Lord will be able to harvest a wonderful soul.
