"What about the water? Have those spellcasters unite to split the waters of the entire Borderlands River to form a passage through the riverbed. ”

"No, this method is more dangerous, when the time comes, the downstream water is okay, most of it has flowed away, but the upstream water is accumulating more and more, even if the magic used can resist it, how do you make sure that the enemy will not use counter magic? Once broken, the flood would immediately sweep away the troops crossing the river, not to mention that the riverbed would be muddy and there would be no way to pass it quickly. ”

"All magical effects that can be restrained and lifted have potential safety hazards, and they are not within our scope of consideration this time."

"Where do miracles come from without using magic?"

"Can you use the prayer technique to pray directly on this river for a real bridge across the river?"

"Even if it's a prayer technique, it's not omnipotent, it will decide whether the spell is successful according to the volume of the project, if the river of the border desolation is just a small ditch more than ten meters wide, then it's 100% fine, but as a bridge across the river of more than half a kilometer, I'm afraid it's far beyond the ability of the prayer technique, and even if it succeeds in the end, it may not be what we expected, and the single-plank bridge can be regarded as a bridge."

"Indeed, it is always more difficult to create than to destroy, and a prayer technique can easily destroy a city's misty barrier, but there is no way to forge a bridge across a river."

"Even if it is forged, it is not safe, it means that the enemy's prayer spell can be countered, and the leader of the Dark Keep, Mammon, was already a quasi-legendary mage many years ago, and he still doesn't know what kind of strength he has."

"Going around and around, the problem is back to square one, since any method that can be restrained by magic will not work, but the problem is, not only magic can't work, but ordinary methods can't work, the other party only needs to concentrate firepower and bombard indiscriminately with magic to destroy the bridge we worked so hard to build."

"Isn't there a way to take a detour? But the river, cut directly into the rocks, and do not fight them. ”

"There is no way, the high sea swamp and the Cape Storm Mountains are fused together, and some of the remaining veins even go deep into the swamp, regardless of each other, we either cross the swamp or open a mountain road in the Cape Storm Mountains, no matter which one it is, it is an impossible task."

"That's right, our fast way of building roads is only suitable for plains and wilderness, whether it is swamps or mountains, our methods are not suitable, the previous wasteland trails are proof, our vanguard army is just on the original basis, widening a small part of the area that building chariots cannot pass, they do their best, almost too busy, we want to open up nearly a hundred kilometers of high mountains, it is estimated that it will take us several years, even if our supplies are abundant, it will not take so long."

"What about breaking it early? Lead them to the side of the river, and as long as their main force is destroyed, we can cross the river calmly. ”

"This is even more whimsical, which of the forces we are facing this time is low IQ? Those gods of conspiracy? Or those legendary ghost women? The only one who isn't known for her treachery is the Lizard Queen, even if she defeats one of them, but what about the other two? ”

"I knew that we wouldn't have crossed the river of the barren wilderness at the beginning, but went directly north along the Sunset Mountains, and opened up the road to the high road by ourselves, so we didn't have to have such a headache."

"Then, we need a headache, but it's not just a barren river, but the whole section, the size of the Thun swamp is not static, but shrinks with the rain, and it will also be affected by the rainy season in Comanso, now is its largest area, many places have been flooded, these places look like a meadow from afar, and when you walk over, you will find that it is a muddy puddle, plus the monsters attack frequently, before we can go halfway, we have to greatly reduce our personnel, not like now that one is not lost."

"I know, I participated in the original military conference, but I just complained casually, you don't have to be serious."

"I'm not serious with you, I'm worried about the swamp between Thun and the open sea, is that the same thing?"

"You think too much about this, the reason why this area is not flooded by swamps and become part of them is because this belongs to the remnants of the Storm Cape Mountains hidden underground, and the terrain is relatively high, while the other side is supported by the remnants of the Gray Observer Mountains, and the river on the edge of the barren is sandwiched out, so it is relatively turbulent, and the terrain is low, which is difficult to cross."

"Then I can rest assured, but there is still nothing to be done about crossing the river."

The high-level brains of the conqueror's army are not insignificant, building bridges through ice, dividing rivers and so on, both with the great power of countless people uniting together, as well as the full use of magic.

If, as before, they are just fighting against the sky and the natural environment, either method is feasible, it is nothing more than spending a little more time and energy.

But when surrounded by enemies, there is nothing to be done.

Stratagem is an aid, not a panacea, at least not to create a bridge for the conqueror's army out of thin air.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a staff officer who came in to pass on the message broke the deadlock, "Lord Lord, there are dozens of knights outside asking to see them, they call themselves the Knights of the Shadow Sword, and they are followers of the Slavers. ”

Since the disappearance of Woking, the god of wealth throughout the year, and no longer answering the prayers of his followers, many followers and merchants of the goddess of wealth have turned to his old man's name, praying to him for protection and assistance on the road.

When Gavin heard the name, he jumped up from his seat and laughed, "We only think about things from the perspective of the mundane, how can we leave the gods behind?" Let's go, let's go, let's see, what kind of aid and surprise these believers in helping hands have brought us? Lady Catherine, let's go together, the path priesthood of the slave is complementary to that of the Lady of Strategy, and only a clear road can make it easier to mobilize troops on a large scale, which is an excellent opportunity to expand the relationship between His Highness. ”

"Okay." Catherine replied cheerfully.

The Helping Hand is another nickname for Sandakol, because his followers seldom stay in one place, but on the road, and they will provide selfless assistance to the caravans on the trade routes, allowing them to go farther and smoother, and over time, it will naturally earn him this good name.

In fact, when they were in the Giant's Plains, Gavin had already sensed the attention of the gods of the road, although they did not migrate in the name of the gods of travel and exploration, but the fact that they migrated, and opened up a new trade route of thousands of kilometers on their own, was the best glory for this god.

If Sandakor didn't pay attention to this, it would be a dereliction of duty, and he would have fallen a long time ago, and he would not have been sitting firmly on the throne of this god.

He is also an evergreen among the gods of Ferron, one of the oldest gods, he has remained unchanged as a god of travel and exploration, which is related to his taciturn and lonely personality, he is not only quite good among mortals, even many gods maintain good relations with him, after all, there are few conflicts of interest, the goddess of the night Sha'er and the goddess of doom Bensaba are the only two gods he has two enemies.

The former is because of clerical conflicts, the slave does not like to hide secrets, prefers to make them public, and he will take the initiative to guide the public to explore those unknown secrets, which is his priesthood.

The priesthood of the goddess of the night is to keep secrets, but Sha'er did not mean to slap Scienta Col to death, because whenever a secret is kept, there will inevitably be an explorer and exposer, which is unavoidable, and in the end it depends on whose means are more clever.

This kind of relative priesthood, Sha'er can't be in her own hands at the same time, so instead of killing Scientakor and letting the exploration priesthood fall into the hands of a stronger god, it is better to keep him there, as long as you make sure that you are stronger than him and can suppress him.

The latter is due to the fact that Bensabah once used the name of the god of the road to provoke discord between various tribes in a desert area called the wild buffalo, and to this day, the people there still curse the slavers and call him "a dangerous lurker in the sand", and the two sides engaged in a fierce struggle, although Sandakor did his best to protect the caravans from bad luck, but Bensabah still often succeeded in causing those caravans to fall into all kinds of misfortunes - natural disasters, man-made disasters, car accidents, monster attacks, etc., all of which were the work of the god of doom.

Shan Da Cole once had a medium divine power, but after the fall of the City of Songs, Misdrano tended to decline, and once fell to a weak divine power, until last year, the god of merchants, Woking, had a problem, and a large number of believers turned to him, before he began to develop again, he has been missing a key medium point, to show the world his divine power again, to announce his return - man is a god, this is one of the core operating laws of the multiverse.

If people don't do it, God can't act recklessly, otherwise it will be counterproductive and may cause his divine power to fall.

Of course, this situation is limited to the material plane, if it is in the upper plane, especially in the kingdom of God, the gods do not have so many restrictions, but there is no meaning, in their own kingdom of God, everything needs to consume faith and divine power, and the material plane is their main place to draw faith.

These laws have only one purpose, to prevent the gods from acting recklessly, pushing the entire material plane to destruction, leading to the collapse of the multiverse.

In other words, the material plane is the core underlying structure of the multiverse, and without it, all that remains is a castle in the sky, which will not exist for long.

"I am Gavin Notte, the commander of this army, and I welcome to the Worshippers of His Highness the Slavers, and it is our greatest honor to have your arrival." As soon as they met, Gavin paid his respects.

This Order of Shadow Sword Knights turned out to be composed of halflings who were no taller than Gavin's waist, all dressed as adventurers, and most of their figures were wrapped under dark cloaks.

This is not surprising, the whole race of halflings has different degrees of wandering, just like the village of Anbaochuan, their entire village is made of boats, the roads are not limited to land, waterways are also a kind of thing, many halflings are attracted by the teachings of Shan Dacole and become his followers and priests, which is naturally a natural thing.

"Kim, the head of the Knights of the Sword of Shadows, have met the General, and in the oracle of my God, we have come to the General's aid to help you through this difficult time." The halfling priest at the head, Kim, was a rare cheerful person, and directly reported the biggest purpose of the trip.

"Say it inside, say it inside." Gavin naturally had to guard against the walls of the wall, and what happened next was likely to involve their military secrets.

"By the way, on the way here, we met a unique friend, who claimed to be a friend of the general, brought information about the swamps of the far sea, and asked the adults to distinguish the truth from the fake." Kim pointed not far away.

A tall figure emerged from nothing, but this person was covered with speckled long hair, a thick body and a slightly rickety, yellow eyes and a round nose, a convex face, and a mouth full of sharp fangs, and he was a jackal.

The most unique thing is that this gnoll man does not see the greed and ferocity of ordinary gnolls in his eyes, but only endless peace and peace, just like an enlightened monk.

"Flynn." Gavin broke the other party's identity, his face showed a heartfelt joy, and he said continuously, "He is indeed my friend, come in together, come in together." ”

Flint Jackal Warrior Monk has gone over the entire Faeron several times, but he is afraid that he will be the only one.

It was the unique Flint Gnoll who took the initiative to cooperate with them on the Black Reaper of the Gnoll Warband.

The last time he contacted him, he had revealed that he was staring at the Yenogu fangs in the open sea swamp, saying that the gnolls had resurrected in the far sea swamp and asked him for help.

He had sent an Odo reconnaissance team to find him and try to establish contact with him, but his methods of hiding were so clever that not only could the enemy not find him, but even the friendly forces could not find out where he was.

After entering the Goblin Frontier Wasteland and clashing with the forces of the Far Sea Swamp this time, Gavin also thought about looking for him to see if he could get information about the Far Sea Swamp from him.

Among the three major forces faced by the conqueror's army, the Lizard Queen Court of Thun Swamp and the Dark Castle, they basically have an idea, including the types and numbers of troops they have, and have a general guess.

Only the forces of this far-sea swamp are still in a state of fog.

This place is more completely isolated than the swamp of Thun, in addition to the swamp, it is also shrouded in fog of hundreds of meters all the year round, deep in it, it is impossible to see things ten meters away, and there is a serious misleading component, outsiders are easy to get lost in the fog, coupled with the danger of the swamp, this place is naturally more deadly.

This fog was created last year, and before that, the swamps of the open sea were not much different from the swamps of Thun, and this change was inseparable from the gods descending.

The Conqueror's army now has information about the forces of the Far Sea Swamp limited to a gathering of legendary ghost women who are in control, and the rest of the information is unknown such as whether they will send troops, the composition of the force, how many troops they have, and so on.

Flynn, who has been staring at him here for half a year, is also half a snake, and he must have a lot of information, but he didn't expect that the idle man who was thrown out casually at the beginning should be on the army of conquerors.

After everyone was seated, Gavin couldn't wait to ask the believers of the God of the Way, "I wonder what kind of assistance Lord Kim has brought us?" ”

Compared to the information of the Swamp of the High Sea, the side of the God of Travel and Exploration is more important, because it is related to the predicament they are facing.

"His Highness the Slave Wind is willing to raise a bridge across the river for the General, and help the entire army cross the river." Head Kim replied bluntly.

"A helping hand is a helping hand, always a helping hand when people need him most, and with the help of His Highness the Servant Wind, our predicament will be solved."

"It's so good, we didn't even think to ask His Highness the Slave Wind for help, it's really too undeserved."

"After this pass, we will build a huge temple for His Highness the Slave Wind, and tell the world that he is helpful and worthy of people's respect."

The entire upper echelons of the Conqueror's army were extremely excited, and they had been worried about this before.

As for the time of building the bridge, no one asked at all, just kidding, this is a god who personally took action, even if he only has a weak divine power left, it is also a true god, and it must be a bridge in an instant.

"What does Your Highness need us to do?" Catherine was one of the few who didn't show a look of excitement, and as a Lady of Strategy's elect, she knew more about the gods.

Even for the gods, creating such a bridge across the river out of thin air, especially to allow the entire army of conquerors to pass quickly, is really not a small project, and the amount of divine power that needs to be consumed is huge, and even the divinity has to be used.

This is not the crux of the matter, the point is that Sandakor is violating the law by doing so, as I said before, man should be God, and this restriction has become more severe since the turbulent years.

They do nothing, the god of travel and exploration gives them a bridge across the river, which is definitely a big pit, either Sandakor pits itself, or prepares to pit the army of conquerors.

Kim nodded at Catherine kindly, and said with a smile: "Your Highness also said that he is only responsible for responding, and it depends on you whether this bridge across the river can be raised and to what extent." ”

The words of the halfling priest are somewhat mysterious, and many people do not fully understand them.

Or was Catherine, the first voter of the Lady of Strategy, the first to react, and asked with sparkling eyes: "Do you mean to let our entire army of conquerors launch the prayer rites of His Highness the Slaver on the banks of the Frontier River, and shape the bridge across the river with the power of faith we have contributed ourselves?" Building a Bridge of Faith? ”

If that's the case, it makes perfect sense.

This is a typical human being, and when he fought against the Root of the Gods outside of Darauma City, Zalanda used this method, mobilizing the entire army and people of Darauma to pray, recruit the incarnation of the Lady of Strategy, and fight to protect them.

Of course, this summoning of the gods may or may not respond, unless it is a huge benefit, which is generally the latter.

If both sides of the war pray to Tampas at the same time, the god of war can't send their own avatars on both sides to fight themselves, right?

Although he can do it, it doesn't make sense, and it causes wear and tear on himself.

If the two do not help each other, even if this prayer contradicts each other.

If you don't pray, who knows if the god of war will incarnate on the side of prayer.

The gods are not stupid, and if they don't contribute and the benefits can still eat the big head, of course, they choose to watch as much as possible.
