Chapter 535, Gathering of Storms: Alliance of the Dark Sun
Sea of the Moon, Santil Fort.
Fort Santil was founded on the shore of the Sea of the Moon, this city was originally the base camp of the god of tyranny Bane, after the prince of Santilburg Mansu and the priest of Bane Master Zor worked together to regain the rule of Santilburg, Mansu declared the faith of Bane the official faith of Santil Fort, while Fu Zor announced that he broke with the orthodox church of Bane in Murmaster and established a separate center, declared himself the real high priest of Bane, established the Dark Altar and incorporated most of the priests of Bane in Santilin into the sequence of the Santarin Order.
This kind of behavior is actually not Bane's intention, the god of tyranny prefers to include the Santarin Society in his direct control, but Bane likes this kind of capable and ambitious young man, and the god of tyranny quickly affirmed Fuzor's ambition, he gave the Santarin Society a lot of words of encouragement, accepted their repentance, promoted the faith of the Santarin members, and told Mansu: Do it, you still have me behind you.
With the support of Bane, the Santarim Society soon flourished, marked by the establishment of the Raven Fortress in the north by the Santarim Society, and the supremacy of the Moon Sea was gradually established in the hands of Mansu, and the Santarim Society began to seek to establish a new empire centered on the Santarim Fort.
Fort Santil is the center of the Santarim Society, the thriving heart of Bane's dark forces.
As the sea breeze rises in the Sea of the Moon, Shirek, Prince of the Dark Sun, ascends to the top of the tower of Santil Fort and overlooks the evening view of the Moon Sea.
At sunset, cargo ships with black sails sailed on the Sea of the Moon like dark clouds before a storm overwhelmed the city.
The water transportation of the Moon Sea has always been the largest in the middle of the country, and the goods from the Black Road have brought huge profits to the Santarinhui, and the route through the valley of Sambia and directly to the south of the Falling Star Sea has dredged the trade network of the Black Net.
The Sea of the Moon, the Dragon Lake, and the Sea of Falling Stars, when Bane gave up direct management of Santil Fort, but firmly controlled several trade routes such as land and water through the black web, and collected a lot of money from this trade, and finally formed a powerful standing army of the Santarim Society.
Now Fort Santil, the Raven Fortress is in the hands of Ciric, and Sambia downstream from the Moon Sea is also under the influence of Shirek.
Shirek, who was only in his forties, overlooked the prosperity of the Moon Sea for a while, and reflexively returned to the tower, sealing himself in darkness.
Forty years old is already a veteran of the old hands for a strong man of the kingdom, and ordinary adventurers either die by the time they reach their forties, or they have been hit by an arrow in the knee and have found a place to settle.
But this age is not enough for a true God.
After the fall of Bane, Ciric became the first god of the kingdom and the king of the three crowns for 10 years.
The current situation is not good for the dark sun,
Am's multiverse declaration of war was a mixed blessing for Ciric, the good thing was that the whole universe knew about his notoriety, and for an evil god like him, he was not afraid of being hated, he was afraid that no one cared, and the bad thing was that his arrangements for many years in Amm were swept away, and his faith was made illegal by Am, and after Wokin returned, although Lady Fortune and Aaron turned their faces, Waujin still generally insisted on an anti-Hirek position.
Aaron's expedition to the Enoch Desert is bad news in the full sense of the word, and the collective defection of the Bedai barbarians means that the Black Road has been cut off, and one of the two largest sources of wealth of the Santarim Society has been cut off.
At present, only the trade routes of the Moon Sea are still there, but at this time, Aaron's army has also blocked the gate of the Moon Sea.
These things made Ciric's multi-pronged attack after being canonized only successful in the matter of killing the phantom goddess Lyra.
At the same time, Ciric's control of the Moon Sea is not as stable as that of Bane, Bane's control of the Moon Sea is a big stick in one hand and a sweet date in the other, and at the same time he also shows a certain tolerance for many gods, such as Tymorrah, Shanny, Dress, Tampas and other gods The church can operate normally, as long as they are not clear about opposing Bane, the god of tyranny will not do anything.
Ciric, on the other hand, vigorously promoted "unity", that is, "one deity, one church, one oracle, one faith".
Fort Santil quickly degenerated from the position of the lord of the Moon Sea to the powerful leader of the Alliance, thanks to the fact that the cities of the Moon Sea were afraid of the superficial submission of Shirek's strength, but it was impossible to command the cities as easily as they did in the Bane era.
Santil Fort is your own throne!
No matter how stupid and crazy Dark Sun was at this time, he knew that he would never let Aaron really hit the city of Fort Santil and really overturn him.
I don't want to lose face!
If Aaron is really allowed to attack the Fort of Santil, wouldn't Shirek be disgraced as the first god above and below God?
"Shiric's Last Warning" has become a stalk, and the people's belief in the dark sun has been shaken.
Can't wait any longer, you have to punch hard!
The Prince of Darkness thought for a moment, and Linda, the priest outside the room, said with sincere fear, "My lord, Mansu, Celullah, and Ecsino ask to see you. ”
The Chief Lord of Santil Castle, the Lord of Santarin, the Lord of Santil Fort and the Commander of the Army, and the Chief High Priest of the Church of Shirek in Santil Castle, three important figures arrived together.
Ciric sneered a few times, he conjured a pale throne full of skulls, and sat down on the throne slowly, eight slender sharp bone spurs appeared around him, and then he signaled: "Call them in." ”
The three Shantir Fort bosses arrived together.
Among the three, the lord of Santilburg and the general of the army, Celullah, have not had too outstanding achievements in recent years, and their personal strength has not reached the legend, and Ciric is inevitably a little dissatisfied with Celullah.
As for Mansu, although he did his best in all kinds of things after announcing his submission to Ciric, Mansu was often thinking about his lordship and the perspective of Santil Fort, plus Mansu was magnificent, tall and mighty, and Celullah was a soldier, serious and majestic, so it was inevitable that he would not be treated well by Ciric.
Completely different from Bane's style of employing people when he existed, Bane likes principled and ambitious subordinates, and Ciric likes subordinates who are unconditionally obedient.
"Am's Shadow Thief shamelessly threw himself into the arms of his enemies."
After the three of them took their seats, Ciric said lightly.
Everyone present, even though they had heard the news in advance, but when they heard Ciric say this, they all lowered their heads, especially Mansu, who lowered his head and bowed deeply.
Ciric is different from Bane, Bane will scold his subordinates angrily, Ciric will not, but this raised eyebrows and heavy tone already represent a lot of anger.
Bane's rewards and punishments are clear, meritorious service is rewarded and punished, Ciric's rewards and punishments are illogical, as long as the dark sun is displeased, merit is also punishment, and if there is a fault, it is death.
Seeing the row of bone spurs next to him, Mansu lowered his head and said to himself: "My lord, Am's affairs are now presided over by the Holy Coin Lady herself, and the Fortune Lady and the Five-Person Council are personally involved, and the subordinates have really done their best." ”
Ciric should have just reprimanded Mansu, if Mansu just bowed his head and admitted his mistakes, it would have passed, but he retorted that as the king of the three crowns and the true god of the kingdom, Ciric hated others to refute his remarks when he expressed his opinion, which was a violation of his true god identity.
With a grim expression on his pale and thin face, Ciric said with a sinister smile, "Oh, then you have learned something, my dear Lord Lord. ”
"Then do you want to tell me that you did your best to let Cormier's 100,000 Western troops press the Dagger Falls at the gate of the Moon Sea?"
Ciric's words made Mansu, who was the chief lord of Santil Fort, really unable to get off the stage, no matter how he said it, he was also the chief lord of Santil Fort in his hundreds, the lord of the Santarin Society, and now he was only in his forties when he was said this, which made him lose face.
At this time, Celullah on the side hurriedly said: "My lord, His Highness Mansu is indeed at fault, but he also has difficulties, even Six Fingers and his Abyss Three-Layer army cannot resist Salian, please read on his ten years of diligence and dedication, and don't be too harsh." ”
Ciric rolled his eyes when he heard this, the dark sun didn't care about the process, he just wanted the result.
However, considering the pressure of the army in front of him, Ciric still let Mansu and Celullah go for the time being, and after Mansu apologized loudly, he revealed the matter.
Tasks are delegated sequentially.
Mansu is in charge of the logistics of the army, mobilizing all the forces that can be mobilized to assemble at the Fort of Santil to prepare for a decisive battle, and at the same time, the Santarim will take out the savings of a century-old inheritance and gather all the mercenaries in the kingdom.
Celula was in charge of the 21,000-strong army of the Santil Fort, which was the entire army of the Santarin and the Santil Fort, and the main force of the main forces.
Another priest, Ecsino, has a different mission, commanding Ciric's allies, a large legion of white dragons and frost giants, to fight as the Western Army's Behemoth troops.
Laying out the task, at night, when the stars were low, Ciric opened the window and let the sea breeze of the Moon Sea blow into the house.
Aaron has a lot of troops to join, and naturally, there are many gods and forces on Ciric's side.
The Orc God King Guush, the King of the One-Eyed Shura Field, personally came to conclude a truce with Shirek, and an army of 20,000 orcs will join the Eastern Army of the Dark Sun under the leadership of the legendary orc hero Goguz - Skull Hunter.
Rose of the Dark Elves sent a message to Ciric that the Queen of the Spider would send 3,000 elite Drow troops to support Ciric, and that the strongest mage of the Banry family, Gongfu Banrui, would personally join the battle.
To the east, the 5,000 Searle army of the red-robed chief mage lord Sazastan was ready, followed by a hundred-man red-robed mage group.
In addition, it is not a big problem for the many city-states of the Moon Sea to gather 10,000 or 20,000 people, and the Eastern Army is also quite large.
After a long silence, Mansu said slowly, "My lord, there is still an army that may be able to support us. ”
"Searle's army of darkness, with Fuzor Cherberry as the supreme lord and Disma as the army of the sons of tyranny, if they are willing to join our eastern army, we will have a good chance of winning this battle."
Ciric didn't answer, just snorted coldly: "I have delegated power, whether or not to contact Fu Zor is your business, it has nothing to do with me, it's just ...... Most of the people who contact the traitors will not end well. ”
With that, the dark sun vanished.
Mansu understands again, he knows that it is the same again, he is responsible for the liaison things, and he does the leading things, if Fu Zor agrees, it is that the leader of Shirek is wise and decisive, if Fu Zor does not agree, it is that Mansu actually chose to contact the forces of the son of Bane, and the great supreme dark sun has never allowed it.
In the darkness of night, Mansu and Celula returned to the High Hall, where they were relatively silent along the way.
It was not until he entered Mansu's private abode that the lord of the Santarim Society said, "The master has been dissatisfied with us for a long time, so why do you bother to relieve me?" ”
Celula shook her head: "Your Highness has seen the outside, since the fall of Bane, I have always been not valued by my lord, where the battle situation is the most tiring and the most dangerous, that is, send me forward, since we are not trusted, and now the city is in danger, we as the nobles of Santil Fort have only the responsibility, to help you, but also to help myself." ”
Mansu was silent after hearing this, and the Lord of the Santarin Society was silent for a moment before he spat out a sentence from under his mask: "If Ban N was still here, you and I would not be able to do this day." ”
Speaking of this, thinking of the Western Army that was assembling at Dagger Falls, thinking of the crumbling century-old foundation of the Santarin Society, and thinking of the fallen god of tyranny, Mansu's eyes were filled with tears.
Lord Bane, we miss you.
Celullah wiped tears from her eyes, since the arrival of Ciric, the situation of Santil Fort has deteriorated, and now the black road is about to be cut off.
"Only Fu Zor can help us right now." After all, Mansu was the lord of the hundred-year-old Santarin Society, and after a little release of his feelings, he immediately returned to his fierce and decisive kingly demeanor: "He left Santil Fort to join the church of the tyrannical son of Sham, and I believe that neither he nor the tyrannical son would like to see Santil Fort turn to ashes under the hooves of the Cormiers, which was the seat of Bane's former throne." ”
"So, we still have to go and contact Fu Zor?" Celula shook her head wryly.
"Must be contacted! Their power is vital to us! Mansu nodded coldly: "This is my city, and all the responsibility is on my own!" ”
"Yes!"
…………
Just as Mansu and Celullah were privately discussing the call for help from the dark armies of the tyrannical son of Tham.
In the Endless Wilderness, the High Throne has also welcomed a special guest.
The High Throne is surrounded by a barren and bleak gale, and there is almost nothing but the hollow throne of Ciric, which in some ways represents the inner reflection of Ciric, the once mortal Shirek who was intimate, pompous, and completely self-centered, until he meets Midnight, a beautiful witch who ignites his yearning for life.
The good times didn't last long, and the love affair between Midnight and Cranvo on the adventure completely tore apart the last shred of Sirek's heart.
From that moment on, Ciric was passionate about deceiving and misleading, as well as corrupting others, and then exposing his deception when the other person made a fatal misjudgment or took a personal destructive act that would destroy his own life.
Swirls of shadows flickered, and the projection of Shar, the goddess of the night, appeared in front of Shirek.
"You seem to be in trouble, dear Darkday?"
Shar appeared as a dark-skinned dancer at this time, his upper body was wearing a short-sleeved gold knitted sweater with a light V-neckline, the exposed two black jade arms were pure and flawless, and the full and proud upper body was curvy in the slightly tight dancer clothes, although it was a light V-style dance dress neckline, but the night lady's breasts stood proudly, and the neckline was high and bulging.
Because of this contrast, Sha'er's waist appears very slender, like a bee's waist, slender and moving, weak and boneless, and it is the most standard water snake waist.
A dark purple dancer, Roland's graceful and soft floral skirt, her hips were high and round, and as she swirled, layers of shadow ripples swayed back and forth along his body.
"Night, are you here to laugh at me?" Cirek roared frantically, "Who doesn't know that you have a leg with that little bastard of Aaron!" ”
"No, I'm here to help you." Shar's answer made Shirek look stunned, and the Dark Dancer snickered, "I will oppose everything that my sister supports, and all Suren's enemies are my friends." ”
"Perhaps we can make a covenant that is not bad, and I may send you a much-needed reinforcement to help you, say, an entire army of the Floating City from the Fallen Underworld? …… However, you need to pay a small price. ”
"At what cost?" Ciric's eyes narrowed, disgust and longing.
"At the cost of ......"
