"What's next for the lady?" Gavin asked.

Catherine stayed in the army of the conquerors mainly to assist in the planning of the ascension of the goddess of strategy, and for this reason, not only the Red Falcon Knights, but also the entire Crimson Fellowship were exhausted, and now that this matter has been successfully completed, it is natural that it is time for them to withdraw from here on a large scale.

The strategist lady knows that a bunch of eggs can't be put in one basket, and no matter how strong the army of conquerors is, they can't concentrate all their followers here.

"I will leave you a hundred Divine Strategists, who will break away from the Crimson Fellowship under the leadership of Villanika and officially join the army of the Conquerors, whether to use their low-level officers or form their own Ladies Order is entirely up to you." Ms. Catherine was clearly prepared.

Previously, although Gavin had half of the strategist lady voters on him, he did not announce it to the public, so the two sides were in a cooperative relationship.

Whether it is Veranika or those exclusive sacrifices of the Lady of Strategy, they are all temporarily seconded to Gavin, and when they leave, it is completely according to the needs of the Lady of Strategy, maybe they will never leave, maybe they will pack up and leave in the next second, to carry out the more important plans of the Lady of Strategy.

After Ms. Strategist publicly announced Gavin as her third voter, the situation was immediately different, they now belong to the same big system, and the relationship has become closer, and for the sake of Ms. Strategist, they will work together and do their best to ensure that victory will be theirs and belong to Ms. Strategist, such as this Ascension.

But when this task is completed, they will be separated again and become independent individuals, which is determined by the identity of Catherine, Zalanda, and Gavin, and theoretically, they are equal to each other, even if Catherine, as the first voter, only has the right to advise them, not the power to command.

If you fight, you will be united, and if you don't fight, you will be divided.

This will be the future development model of the Lady of Strategy Church, in fact, this is not unique to her, most of the other gods are in this mode, and more scattered, the churches that develop in the regional model are considered large, often in the city or even church model, and there are few churches across countries or even continents.

This is due to the relatively loose organizational model of the church and the isolated urban distribution of Ferron.

"Thank you for your help, I will try to honor His Highness in my own way and go out of our own way." Gavin already has his own ideas about this matter, he definitely won't go to establish a special church of the goddess of strategy, or even a special church for the lady of strategy, as a god of war, isn't the military academy her best church? Isn't the War Fortress her best church?

As for preaching, just like the army of conquerors, the national plan, the national military drills, the national planned production, the national planned education, etc., when the plan, strategy and tactics are integrated into all aspects of business, production, and learning, do we need to carry out additional sermons?

At that time, everything was preached, and everyone was a believer, and that was the highest state of faith.

"My aid is not gratuitous, I need to borrow troops from you." Catherine didn't hide it, but said bluntly.

"Borrowed soldiers?" Gavin asked in surprise, "There's a war on Ma'am's side?" How many soldiers do I need to borrow? ”

The place of death where the Strategic Battle Fortress is located is not too peaceful, but it is close to the Baldur's Gate, one of the largest metropolises in Faeren, and there are no forces around that can pose much of a threat to them.

"Not soldiers, but your road builders." Catherine no longer played dumb riddles, "I am ready to follow the example of your army of conquerors and walk all the way back to the strategic battle fortress, I am ready to open a road from Sclauber to Iliaba, to completely connect the trade road with the trader's road, and double the road of Eltorel to Baldur's Gate to the level of the main trade route." ”

The first voter of the Strategist Lady was spurred on by Gavin and Zalanda, the two of them were latecomers, all sitting on tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and she was still trapped in a castle that was less than half restored.

There is no way to emulate the model of Zalanda's side sitting on a city, but Gavin's way of expanding his influence by quickly building roads is worth learning, because only with roads can they influence more people with the troops in their hands, and can they better spread the faith of women.

It's just that her way of building roads is different from Gavin's migration path, and she will focus on strategic battle fortresses, frantically laying nets outward, and making full use of existing roads.

Limited by their own region, the strategic battle fortress can't expand in the north for a short time, but there is a huge space for development in the east and south, not to mention a complete regime here, even if it's a large city, there are not many of them, and most of the areas belong to the world of monsters, but because of this, there is a place for the strategy lady, after all, she now belongs to the god of war system, and the state of war is more conducive to the spread of her beliefs.

And it also has a geographical advantage, if it is well developed, it can echo Gavin's layout in the Goblin Border and the Dragon Coast, and connect with it.

Gavin didn't even need to take out the military map, and when he heard it, he understood Catherine's true plan, and after a few seconds of muttering, he said: "I can secondment the Pioneer Vanguard and the Road Repair Team to the Lady, but I need to wait for about half a month, I need them to help me widen the high road from the Bridge of Faith to the Rocks, and I can be seconded to the Lady for two months at most, before the end of the year, I will need them for a big military operation." ”

The rapid way of building roads by the conqueror's army is now limited to the plains, not only in the swamps, but also in the rugged and difficult rocky terrain, where Ruth has to be repaired by the kobolds of the dragon oak collar.

"Two months is enough." Catherine had seen firsthand the power of the conqueror's army to repair the road, and in two months, let alone fix the short circuits she had said, she would have enough time to make a round trip in the green wilderness.

"Your Highness warned when leaving, saying that there is something strange on the side of the swamp in the open sea, let me not act rashly, calculate the time, Veranika and they should lead the troops to the vicinity, do you want to go over and have a look?" Gavin sent out an invitation, but Lady Scheming was limited by the priesthood to give a clear answer, but Catherine was not restricted in this regard.

"Oh? And this kind of thing? Let's go, let's take a look. Catherine was intrigued, and what the lady herself hinted at must be out of the ordinary.

Catherine directly dragged Gavin to launch the teleportation technique, and appeared not far from Veranica, but did not join her, but directly rose into the air to observe the entire battlefield.

Gavin pinched the time very accurately, and the monster army was less than three kilometers away from the swamp of the high sea.

Normally, swamps do not have clear boundaries, as they expand and shrink with the water, and there are large areas of mixed land.

But there are open sea swamps, because they are shrouded in a thick fog.

In that case, it was very similar to choosing the misty barrier of the Mist Wall's ability, there was an invisible wall in the air, shaping those mists into shape, only confined to their own side, and the other side was not a trace of superfluous mist.

Although the fog of the open sea swamp is not as clear as the fog wall, it is still very obvious when viewed from the outside, but it is very large, and you can't see the edge at a glance, and you can't see the situation inside clearly, just like being in two different worlds.

The fog didn't have the slightest effect on Gavin, and he could easily see what was inside, but he would rather not see it himself, because the scene inside was filthy, distorted, and weird.

All the trees there were ploma, twisted, and half-dead, their branches covered in blood-drenched flesh and guts, and their trunks coated in all sorts of disturbingly twisted runes.

All the swamp pond water is swarthy, you don't need to smell it, just a glance can determine that this thing must have a stench that is difficult for ordinary people to reduce, the aquatic plants growing in it are twisted and entangled, as if they are active, countless huge bubbles emerge from the black water, and occasionally ripple, all hinting at the unimaginable danger lurking underneath.

The swamp itself is a murderous place, and the far sea swamp has directly evolved it to an extreme.

The reason for this phenomenon is due to the three powerful ghost women.

All legendary creatures have a strong ability to harmonize with the natural environment, and they will subtly transform their long-lived nests into the most suitable for their abilities and temperaments, thus deriving their unique nest environment and nest abilities.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the dark creatures, as their environment will be darkened and easier to contrast.

Normally, a legendary creature can't affect more than ten kilometers, and at least an adult dragon can only affect that much.

Even if the three ghost women are all legends, their combined strength is relatively strong, and they will not turn the entire far-sea swamp into their lair.

Could it be that the fog that shrouds here is their nest ability?

"Haha...... Ha ha...... We're finally going to get rid of that hellish group of cavalry, quick, hurry into the fog, as long as we get into the fog, into the swamp, they won't find us. ”

"Run, run, only when you get into the fog and into the swamp is you really safe."

"You can't enter, you can't enter casually, this is a cannibalistic fog, many people enter the fog, and they can't get out again."

"We don't go deep into the fog, we just take refuge inside, and when the enemy leaves, we immediately withdraw."

"It's up to you to go into the fog or wait for the enemy to cut off your head."

"Needless to say, of course it's in the fog, at least there is still a possibility of surviving in the fog, and staying outside is just waiting for death."

"Bring these outsiders into the fog, they don't know how powerful this fog and swamp is."

"That's right, the swamp will devour them! The swamp will avenge us. ”

When the monster rout saw the fog of the swamp in the far sea, not only did they not show the fear of the past, but they ran madly towards the fog with an unconcealed ecstasy.

For them, this fog and swamp was their only chance to get rid of the group of killing gods behind them.

The Knott Guards Heavy Cavalry and the Goblin Wolf Cavalry clung to them like maggots on tarsal bones.

They don't move at all against the main body of the monster army, but those who try to break away from this main body or fall behind, they will eat without hesitation.

Blood was sprinkled all over their route, not to mention these monster routs, but those pursuers, and it was not clear how many monster routs they had killed along the way, because there was no point in calculating this.

Seeing that the bogs of the high sea were close at hand, the heavy cavalry of the Nott Guards, who were wandering behind, immediately pressed up in an all-round way, without giving these monsters a chance to think too much, that is, to drive them into the fog and into the swamps of the far sea, and let them help the army of conquerors explore the way.

Originally, there were some hesitant routs, but they were involuntarily led towards the mist of the swamp in the open sea by the rout soldiers who surged up from behind.

"Huh?" Gavin, who could see through the fog, couldn't help but be startled, staring intently at the rout soldiers who had burrowed into the fog.

These monsters engulfed in the fog of the swamps of the far sea behaved very strangely, obviously they had a wide ground and did not walk, but ran towards the black pool, and before they could get closer, huge black tentacles stretched out from the pool of sewage, swept them into the black water, and disappeared after only a few bubbles.

It's no surprise that swamps are notoriously filthy and dirty, and those inaccessible mires are often dormant with monsters that are hard to see in normal areas, just like the existence of ordinary nightmares.

In the dark swamp twisted by three powerful ghost women, those monsters are only afraid of being more terrifying and weirder.

What made Gavin feel strange was that the companions around the engulfed monster rout were still circling there like headless flies as if they hadn't seen them.

Some stumbled into the depths of the swamp, while others turned a blind eye to the danger that was close at hand.

There are also some who walked, but they fell to the ground and never got up again, and their lives and deaths were uncertain.

I don't know if I was attacked by the special poison gas of the swamp? Or is it some kind of invisible attack that goes directly deep into the soul? Or was he poisoned by those poisonous insects?

No, there are no mosquitoes in the open sea swamps.

It's no wonder that the first time I saw the swamp in the open sea, I always felt that there was something missing here, and I couldn't see a single ubiquitous mosquito here, like a lifeless dead swamp.

"Do you feel it?" Gavin and Catherine looked at each other and asked in unison.

"Divine power!" The two replied in unison.

Gavin raised the war marauder in his hand and said: "There is the divine power infused by His Highness here, which can absorb souls within ten kilometers and directly send them to His Highness's Divine Kingdom, the monster rout in the swamp is dying in a strange large number, but it has not absorbed one more soul." ”

Catherine said with a serious gaze: "Normal, what shrouds the swamp of the far sea is not an ordinary fog, but a divine fog, and it is the kind of divine fog with the support of the godhead, and the souls of the creatures who die in it will be swallowed by this fog, it is the biggest man-eating monster in this swamp, and there is only one god with this ability......"

"Lady Mist!" Gavin couldn't help but lower his voice, and the excitement on his face couldn't be concealed no matter what, "It is rumored that when the misty lady was killed by the god of conspiracy, some of the godheads escaped and flew down to the left of the rock, which can be seen from the ability shown by the Prince of Lies, he didn't use the illusion priesthood to do a few famous things, which fully shows that he has not yet fully controlled the illusion priesthood, it is said that he has been looking for the godhead fragment around the rockland, and it turned out to have landed here, It's just that this place is so close to the Dark Keep, how could Simanmon, as a believer in the Prince of Lies, not notice that the fragment of the Godhead of the Misty Lady is here? ”

In the end, Gavin couldn't hide his doubts in his words, the movement on this side of the swamp in the far sea is not small, and he can't hide it from anyone who cares, but the god of conspiracy seems to have never been able to obtain all the priesthoods of the goddess of illusion and lies as he wished.

Lady Catherine answered Gavin's doubts with a question, "Do you think believers in the God of conspiracy and lies will cooperate as sincerely as we do?" Will he do whatever it takes to slander his gods? ”

"How is that possible? In the eyes of this group of selfish villains, nothing is more important than their own interests, even their own gods. Gavin suddenly had a thought, "The location of the fragment of the Godhead of the Mist Lady is not that it has not been found, but it has been suppressed by someone with a heart, after all, for many people, this is a shortcut to the ascension of God, only Xi Manmeng does not have this ability, there should be someone behind him, it is Manson, the supreme ruler of the Santarin Society, only he has the energy to do this, if these believers of the god of conspiracy are secret, those Bann believers will not stab this matter to the god of conspiracy, making him stronger." ”

Don't think that God is omniscient and omnipotent, if this is the case, the world would have been leveled and danced, where is there so much strife, how can there be so much misfortune?

Even for the gods, this world is too big, and they can't take care of every aspect of this world, so they need the elect, the high priests, to help them deal with mortal things.

This has led to a situation of deception.

The people at the bottom thought that the information had been reported and that their gods already knew, and that the reason why they did not act was because God had his own arrangements.

And the god who is high up still thinks that there is no progress in this matter, and the people below are trying their best to find it.

As a result, as an agent of God, something went wrong with the mouthpiece, and he suppressed some news that was beneficial to him, trying to eat more, take more, and take more from it.

But where is the power of God so easy to plot? Even a fragment of the Godhead that has been left over from the Assassination God Fall has a powerful power beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
