"Kou Tao Fishman! Could it be this kind of amphibious madman, could it be that the dark god in the black prison is not the existing god of Faerun, but the god created by these madmen themselves? Celemen lost his voice.

The most famous feature of the Kou Tao Fish People in Faerun is that this group of guys is a group of religious madmen, all the tribes are theocratic without exception, and the supreme ruler is called the High Priest of Kou Tao.

There is a historical reason for this characteristic, they are not the original natives of Faerun, but a race of slaves captured from other worlds when the Mind Flayer ruled the whole world, and they used to follow in the footsteps of their masters all over the corners of the world, whether it is continents, coasts, islands, lakes, and underground rivers.

When the Mind Flayer Empire collapsed, the Koutao Fishmen were abandoned by their masters, but instead of enjoying the happiness of freedom, they could not accept life without mind control and without the tasks assigned to them by their masters, and many tribes fell directly into a collective spiritual collapse and contracted the mad plague.

This plague is unique to the Koutao fishmen, and once infected with this plague, if it cannot be controlled in time, the entire Koutao fishmen tribe will completely collapse due to cannibalism.

In order to sustain their broken hearts, the remaining Kou Taoyu people can only devote themselves to religious fanaticism.

It is not unusual to devote oneself to religious fanaticism, after all, the gods are real in Faerun, and many living beings devote themselves to religious life, making religious belief their life's work.

The strange thing is that these Kou Tao fish people do not play cards according to common sense at all, they put the gods in the sky and they do not believe in them, but to believe in those strong people around them, especially those who have the ability to manipulate minds, such as the powerful Mind Flayer or the benthic demon fish.

If there is no such existence around them, they will believe in the gods they have created, and these gods of the Kou Tao Fishman are full of absurdity and randomness.

Take, for example, Bribaudup, the most popular and revered mother of the sea among the Koutao fishmen, a human female with a crayfish head and claws draped in shells over her shoulders.

Bribodup's original image came from the restoration of a human statue by the Koutao Fishmen with various carapaces, and they conjured countless Koutao Fishmen to revere it as a god, and a god was born.

The key is that the divine laws of the multiverse are destined, and if these believers are religious enough and there are enough of them, the corresponding gods will really be born and they will be able to obtain the ability to manifest.

The broken simple heart of the Kou Tao Fishman, once he believes in something, it will be very pure and sincere, and it will be wholeheartedly and fanatically devoted to it, and there will often be a Kou Tao Fishman tribe with a unique god, when this Kou Tao Fishman tribe dies, this god will naturally die with the godfall, so this race is named the god maker.

Of course, except for people like Bribo Dupp, who are widely circulated among the Koutao Fishmen, who can enter the ranks of true gods.

Those gods attached to the various Kou Tao Fishman tribes are out-and-out false gods, just like the nature of human ancestral spirits and guardian spirits, but human ancestral spirits and guardian spirits usually once existed, and after death, they were transformed into ancestral spirits or guardian spirits because of faith, and Kou Tao Fishmen were purely created by themselves out of thin air.

"If the Kou Tao Fishman tribe under the Black Prison is big enough, it's not impossible." Lauentetz was also apparently associated with the racial identity of the Kotao Fishmen, and was combined with the current situation of the Black Prison.

The evil gods in the black prison who are completely unclear about their origin can be created by these Kou Tao fish people themselves, or they may be linked to the existing gods, but they have distorted them themselves.

And if you stay around the black prison for a long time, you will fall into a state of madness, which is very similar to the crazy plague of the Kou Tao Fishmen, but it is a little unreasonable that this crazy plague is a spiritual plague, which will only spread among the Kou Tao Fishmen, and cannot be transmitted to other creatures, unless there is a mutation, or there is a problem with the gods they believe in.

The reason why no one had thought about it before was because they didn't have any evidence that there were a bunch of Kou Tao Fishmen living beneath the Black Prison.

Not to mention that the river poured into the black prison in previous years, these Kou Tao fishmen did not swim against the current, not even for most of this year, everything started with the undead monster who had never seen it breaking into the black prison.

It was obviously not a coincidence, but the undead monster rushed into it, shattering a barrier or restriction and freeing the Koutao Fishmen from below.

"Regardless of whether the situation on this side of the Black Prison is caused by these Kou Tao Fishmen, they are a serious threat to the surrounding valleys, and they can reach most of the valleys along the river, and looking at their condition, it is very much like they have been infected with a mad plague.

We are divided into three routes, I stay here, keep an eye on the undead monster, you personally lead the team, keep an eye on the whereabouts of these Kou Tao fish people, and at the same time send messengers to all the valleys along the lake and river to warn. "Old Mage Rauntetz is not so much a matter of deliberation as of a direct arrangement of tasks.

The situation was urgent, and he couldn't care about the so-called etiquette.

Celemon also didn't care about this, nodded and said, "Okay, the prophet must pay attention to safety, and don't fight that monster hard." ”

Lawntetz's arrangement was the most reasonable, and what he was most worried about now was that the old mage would face off against that monster who didn't know the depths of his strength.

Although he had only fought for one face to face and fought for two rounds briefly, he was still not optimistic about Lauentitz, that thing must have the strength of more than legendary, plus there may be a more powerful legendary necromancer hidden in the back, and he will fold himself into it if he is not careful.

Rauntetz couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, my old man's other skills are average, and the ability to escape is definitely one top one, I am just responsible for keeping an eye on it, and I will not fight it again until it is overcome." ”

After the terrifying undead entered the black prison, it was silent, as if it had completely disappeared, but if there was no horror in it, it was only temporarily dormant.

On the contrary, it is the Kou Tao fish people who are constantly pouring out, and this tribe in the black prison is not ordinarily large.

Then again, if the current appearance of the Black Prison was really caused by them, it was definitely not something that a small tribe of a few hundred people could do, at least a giant tribe of thousands, or even tens of thousands.

After arranging the messenger to deliver the message, Seremon led a small sword of the deep forest with flying mounts to follow behind the army of Kotao fishmen.

This was not difficult to do, because the group of Kou Tao fishmen did not hide their whereabouts in the slightest, and frantically slaughtered all the creatures they encountered along the way.

But they seem to have a very clear goal.

Because after following the temporary river to the Sambo River, they did not even hesitate, did not pay any attention to the upper reaches of Lake Sebe, but went directly down the Sambo River, straight to the Yavon Pond and the Ashaba River.

This made the chief of Celemen breathe a sigh of relief, Lake Sebe is the main habitat of the Deep Forest Valley, and not only is there a large number of villages and towns along the lake, but there are also three sea elf villages living in the lake.

Once this group of Kotao fishmen poured into Lake Sebe, the consequences were unimaginable, and a chaotic war was inevitable.

But now a new question arises, what do these Kou Tao fishmen who have been squatting in the black prison want to do? And how did they get the information from the outside?

Well, the undead monster rushed in from the outside and released these Kou Tao Fishmen, and these Kou Tao Fishmen had a very clear goal, which shows that everything is not accidental, but a premeditated internal and external collusion.

The Kou Tao Fishman is the inside, and the terrifying undead monster and the forces behind it are the outside.

Once these Koutao fishmen enter the Yavon Pond, they have a wide range of targets to attack, including the possibility of going up the Ashaba River to attack the Misty Valley and the Valley of the Shadows.

It is also possible to attack Tasser's Valley and Bow Valley along the Grime's River, but it is the Battle Valley that will bear the brunt of the attack.

In particular, Sir Gavin, who had not long been canonized in Battle Valley, and his manor and the new village of Vizeme stood on the edge of the Yavon Pond, and these Kotao fishmen climbed ashore and could march to the city.

You're not going to go for them, are you?

It's not right, if it's purely convenient, they are deep in the forest valley, their Lake Sebe should be the nearest target, and it doesn't take dozens of kilometers to go upstream, and there is no need to run hundreds of kilometers to Yavon Pond.

Speaking of the undead, Lord Celemen couldn't help but think of the legend he had heard recently that the Lost Valley in the eastern part of the Deep Forest Valley was said to have been resurrected as a powerful death knight and was ready to take revenge on the Valley of the Bow.

They're not going to join forces with these Kou Tao Fishmen to attack Bow Valley, right? Isn't that a bit too much?

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the Yevon Pond, even if they went back to Lake Sebe, it was enough for them to run to the Battle Valley and warn the Battle Valley Sir about it.

No longer hesitating, Seremon instigated Pegasus, full speed, and went straight to the land of the Three Rivers in the Battle Valley.

Celemen had heard a great deal about the young knight in recent times, and although he had never met him, he was full of affection for him, not only him, but also the entire inhabitants of the Deep Forest Valley.

First of all, a huge ghost grape auction was organized, and all the merchants in the valley and around Sambia were gathered, and even the deep forest valley benefited, and those merchants followed the principle of not running out of boats, and many ships went around Lake Seber in the deep forest valley afterwards, and emptied all their goods.

After solving the scourge of the East Road, Slavo Sata, the capital of the Deep Forest Valley, Gao Yue, is located on the East Road, the role of the High Moon in the Thundering Mountains, just like the Rata Bun in the Snow Mountains, is an important supply transit station, and half of the income of the Deep Forest Valley is obtained through this trade route, and the importance of this trade route to the Deep Forest Valley can be imagined.

Most importantly, it helped the deep forest valley to remove a potential safety hazard.

The valley closest to the blood horn where the young red dragon's lair was located was not the Bow Valley, but their Deep Forest Valley.

When they heard that they had been neighbors with this murderous and cunning red dragon for more than ten years, many people in the Deep Forest Valley broke out in a cold sweat.

Thanks to the fact that this red dragon has a relatively stable source of wealth on the East Road, he did not put his mind on plundering ordinary people, otherwise they would be the first to be robbed in the Deep Forest Valley.

Now this young knight has even started a thousand-mile migration, bringing tens of thousands of Tassel immigrants to the valley, even if the immigrants he brought back, only more than half of the legend, it is a huge impact on the surrounding valleys.

You must know that they are full of deep forests and valleys, that is, more than 50,000 people, and their largest town, Gaoyue, only has 5,000 people.

The other valleys are much the same, except that the Bow Valley and the Scar Valley have slightly larger populations.

Both in public and private, Celemen wanted to find an opportunity to meet the young knight and have an in-depth conversation, whether the target of these Kotao fishmen was the Vizeme Manor, this was a very good opportunity.

How is this possible?

This was the first thought that came to Celemen's mind when he arrived over the new village of Vizeme.

In his mind, a new village that had just begun to break ground for less than half a year would be quite remarkable if it had a street with two rows of buildings on either side.

But the new village of Vizemei completely broke his inertial thinking, there are three horizontal and vertical streets in the north-south and east-west directions, and there are more than 100 buildings on it, not the kind of conventional single-storey houses, but a composite property market structure, especially the outermost buildings, which are seven or eight meters high, with three floors, the first floor has no rear windows, and the second and third floors have, but it gives people the feeling that it is not a window, but a shooting window to the outside.

Obviously, these buildings are not just buildings, but also serve as city walls.

The inside is a little shorter, only five or six meters, but it also presents a three-story structure, which is a little more normal, but the number of rooms is also dense, and the number of people who can live is definitely far beyond ordinary buildings.

It was still rainy elsewhere, but it was very sunny here, and you didn't need to ask to know that it must be magic.

It's still late at night, but it's a busy place with bright lights, countless kobolds are coming in and out, roughly estimated to be no less than 10,000, and their level of sophistication in their work is definitely no less than those human mason experts.

The most eye-catching thing is the frequent casting of these kobolds, although the level of magic water cast is not particularly high, but the number of spells that can be cast is too much, and the cumulative number is still considerable, which explains why they have such a fast construction speed.

With so many kobolds, such a high frequency of spell casting, and a large number of tree people and enlightenment trees on the side, it is not an exaggeration to say that one building is one building in one night, and even more - of course, this refers to the cumulative situation, they cannot all build one building at the same time, but on a huge construction site, dozens of buildings will start to be built at the same time, and dozens of buildings will be built at one time.

As soon as Celemen appeared in the sky above the new village of Vizeme, he was spotted, and a well-equipped team of Ode flew towards him, and the leader of the Erde, in a well-rounded language, said in a well-rounded language: "This gentleman, you have now invaded the airspace of Sir Gavin Notte's territory in the Battle Valley, if you enter by mistake, please leave as soon as possible, we can not regard you as an enemy, if there is something to ask you to land, report your name, I will report to our commander, and I will send someone to deal with it." ”

"I'm Seremon Ulas, Lord of the Deep Forest, and I have important information to tell Sir Gavin about your possible attack." Seremon didn't talk nonsense, and after letting his Pegasus land, he directly told the truth about the information he brought, "Please report to Sir Gavin that the speed must be fast, the enemy is on the way, and the slowest is no more than three hours." ”

"Please wait." There wasn't much joy or anger on this Erde's face, and he hurriedly flew away, and the remaining members of the Erde team vaguely surrounded him in the middle, and at the same time, a large number of kobold ferocious weasel cavalry surrounded him from the surroundings.

These kobolds are not simple construction workers, but they still have a certain amount of defense.

However, in Celemon's eyes, the most threatening thing was the treeman with the lower body of a dragon.

The new village of Vizeme attached great importance to the warning of Celemen, and within half an hour, a tall half-elf boy came in a hurry.

A tall man in his early eighties and eight-fifths is definitely outstanding among half-elves, but the other party is neither the kind of thin hemp pole, nor the kind of strong man with explosive muscles, but the kind of half-elf warriors who are proportionally taller and thicker, typical of the type that looks thin when wearing clothes, and has flesh when he takes off his clothes, although he has not seen it, Celemen was sure at first sight that he was the owner of this place, Gavin Nott.

When Seremon determined Gavin's identity at first glance, Gavin also determined Selemen's, although he had not seen him in person, but he had seen his memory projection, which was naturally the credit of Regina, not only the valley has a head and a face, but even Sambia has a head and a face, everything Regina knows, has made a memory projection for Gavin, and attached their relevant profiles, in order to prevent the embarrassing scene of seeing me but not knowing it, I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

Gavin said enthusiastically: "I have always wanted to take time to visit the lord, but I am afraid of taking the liberty of disturbing me, so please forgive me." ”

"Sir Sir is so gracious, and on behalf of the people of the Deep Wood Valley, I would like to thank you for helping us eradicate the scourge of Slakosata and now finally get a good night's sleep." Lord Selemen is also obviously a political veteran, and as soon as he gets started, he talks about the favor that the other party has inadvertently brought to the deep forest valley, and invisibly brings the relationship between the two sides closer.

"Your Excellency, your lordship." Gavin smiled, didn't dwell too much on this matter, and went straight to the point, "I don't know what you said earlier, what is going on with the attack we are about to encounter?" ”

That's what he cares about most.

"Here's the thing...... Seremon didn't bother to greet him, and directly told the truth about what they saw in the black prison, but he didn't say too much about it, and people like the other party didn't need to mix too much of their own opinions in it.

Gavin solemnly bowed to Seremon and said, "Thank you, Lord Lord, this information is so important to me, and eighty percent of the other party is coming at me. ”

Celemen's footsteps turned and he dodged directly, and couldn't help asking, "How can you be sure that they are coming for you?" ”
