Chapter 640: There Are No Eternal Enemies
If you want to fight against such a force, the shadow power of the Vizeme Manor is the most suitable, it will evolve the war into the shadow duel in the Ivanso Council, and take each other's souls, as long as the souls of the other party are completely snatched, the defense against the iron wall will naturally be self-defeating.
However, Gavin also has another powerful weapon in his hands, the Dragon Oak Dream and the dream divine spark it spawns.
As I said before, illusions, illusions, and dreams are often inseparable, and Layla, the goddess of illusions and lies, is the closest god to the dream priesthood of Faeron, and the situation in the Swamp of the Far Sea is an out-and-out real dream, but compared to the fantasy dream of the Dragon Oak dream, this is an out-and-out nightmare.
The reason why this is a dream is because the monsters who fell to the ground are not dead, but lie there upright like vegetative people, and as long as their souls are sent back, they can wake up, as if everything just happened was a nightmare.
However, the Fog of the Swamp of the Far Sea obviously has no intention of returning their soul consciousness, and without any care, these bodies that are only empty shells will die one after another, and the soul consciousness that has been drained away by the fog will naturally become permanent residents of this dream realm.
They could have fought a special dream war, no, more accurately, a god war, because it involved soul fighting.
The premise is that the upgrade of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is completed, although the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is huge, but it is still a mortal thing after all, although the root of the god is small, but it is the original root of a god's ascension to the gods, if you want to swallow it completely, it will take a lot of water grinding work, but once it is completed, the benefits will be extremely huge, at least it can push the Dragon Oak Mother Tree on the road away from mortal things.
This matter is going very smoothly, after all, the root of the gods is also a dead thing, the kind that has been completely suppressed, and the dragon oak mother tree has the assistance of countless essences led by the lord of Virginia, the most difficult thing is that at the beginning, it is necessary to repeatedly adjust, verify various possibilities, and find the best way, and when the plan is determined, the rest is simpler, and the speed is getting faster and faster.
The evolution of the Far Sea Marsh into its current form was a mixed bag for Gavin.
The disadvantage, in a short period of time, this place will become a forbidden place for life, not to mention that the fog of the open sea swamp cannot be approached, even five kilometers can not be approached, to prevent the sudden expansion of these fogs, thus creating a threat, they must form a special patrol team to closely monitor the changes in the far sea swamp.
They want to dominate the entire goblin frontier in the future, the far sea swamp will be a big problem, the dream war is just Gavin's unilateral conception, whether it can be implemented or not, it will have to wait for the Dragon Oak Mother Tree to be upgraded, and after careful discussion with the Lord of Virginia, it will be determined that she is a professional in this aspect, and she is just a power borrower.
Benefits, next, they don't have to worry about the threat from the ghost woman's gathering here, originally they were worried that this is the ghost woman's ability to control the formation of godhead fragments, but now it is basically certain that it is not.
Gavin hadn't met the Ghost Woman directly, but he had an indirect encounter, and when it came to destroying their Ghost Woman's Eye, they didn't show much power.
The most important thing is that the current situation of the Far Sea Swamp is definitely beyond the ability of a few legendary ghost women, if they really have the ability to make such a big move, the Far Sea Swamp will not be able to accommodate them for a long time.
They are also supposed to be the plotters of that Godhead fragment, and the situation they are facing now is only not optimistic.
The rout of these monsters who were driven to the far sea swamp by the army of conquerors also belonged to the situation stirred up by Gavin, and their large-scale death in the far sea swamp only provoked the expansion and murder of the mist, and nearly 20,000 fresh souls were sucked into the mist, which will definitely stimulate new changes in the fragments of the godhead.
If this happens, it won't be long before the bog of the open sea becomes a dead swamp, leaving only plants without intelligence.
Another advantage is that it is difficult for other people to have the ability to take it down, this is not something that can be done by force alone, for those who fight purely by physical strength, this is where the nightmare lies, their strength is useless here at all, on the contrary, those who are strong in the inner three attributes are more warriors than warriors inside.
After making sure that their army was safely out of here, Gavin and Catherine didn't stay too long and returned to the Bridge of Faith, where they still had a bunch of things to attend to.
For example, in the inventory of battle damage, some of the deceased in the conqueror's army chose to stay in the kingdom of the Lady of Strategy, which diluted the sadness of death, but still had an impact on their own structural layout.
For example, the construction plan of the City of Faith was not in their original plan, but due to the tactical adjustment caused by the war situation.
Another example is the adaptation of the surrender of the Thun swamp lizard army, the lizard queen who has just been transformed can last for eight hours, and now it is nearing the end, once the lizard queen is dragged back to the Vizeme manor, without her suppression, it is still unknown whether those lizardmen still recognize Gavin, the vizier, he must confirm it himself.
Gavin and Catherine had not been walking long on their front feet when two figures flew at high speed over the battlefield.
The handsome middle-aged man in a traditional robe was naturally Manmon, the chairman of the Dark Castle.
The other is also wearing a black Grand Law robe, wearing a pair of battle throat guards, not only wrapping his throat, but even covering half of his forehead, revealing only a pair of deep black eyes, it is difficult to see joy and sorrow from them, some are just endless calm, this person is none other than the supreme leader of the Santarin Society, the legendary archmage Mansong, who has the nickname of the Tyrant of the Moon Sea.
The eyes of both of them seemed to be able to see clearly the mist of divine power in the swamp of the far sea, and the situation of corpses strewn all over the field made the two deep archmages of the city government couldn't help but gasp.
Xi Manmeng couldn't help but be the first to speak: "Teacher, I'm sorry, this time I made a serious mistake in my decision-making, which not only depleted the monster power that we have been operating here for many years, but also caused unpredictable variables to the layout here. ”
"I taught you a long time ago that apologizing is the most useless, since things have happened, they can no longer be undone, and there are only remedies." Worthy of being the most famous old fox in the whole of Faerun, Manson's self-control ability is definitely one to the best, and his expression quickly returned to calm, "Have you thought of a remedy?" ”
"The best remedy is to turn this General Gavin into our own people, as long as he joins the intelligence network, the entire high road will be opened naturally, not only the high road will be opened, but our influence can even expand to the Tassel and even the shores of the Steam Lake along the path of the conqueror he opened up, but Bozol has always been reluctant to share his intelligence network with us on the side of the Minta." Simon was clearly prepared.
"You've found an entry point?" Manson asked rhetorically.
"Judging by this man's layout, he is a very ambitious person." Xi Man replied respectfully, "People are not afraid of ambition, the most afraid is to have no desires, this truth is taught to me by the teacher, I believe that in this world, no one can refuse the friendship sent by our dark intelligence network." ”
In the end, Simanmon exudes a strong sense of confidence, which is confidence in the influence of the Santarim Society.
Many people had a deep hostility, contempt, and even hatred for the Santarim before joining it.
But when they enjoy the convenience, wealth, and power that the dark intelligence network brings them, they will become fanatical believers in this organization and become their biggest adherents.
This is the reason why the Santarin Society is notorious in the entire Faerun, but it is still firmly entrenched in the Moon Sea region, and it still radiates and affects the entire Northland.
The dark intelligence network has a wise saying that people are born on a scale of good and evil, whether they are on the path of good or evil, they are temporary choices, they may go to the other end at any time, the dark intelligence network has never taught a person how to become bad, but only stimulates the dark desires in his heart, making them become a member of this huge intelligence network, everything is from his heart's deep choice.
"This has to be done with care." Mansong affirmed his disciple Xi Manmeng's thoughts, "People like this should never try to manipulate him, but let him feel that everything comes from his own ideas, and he will willingly join us." ”
This legendary archmage also has deep confidence in his dark organization, and as for the losses that Gavin has brought to the Santarin Society twice, they have no intention of caring at all, because this is a self-proof of his strength, if they don't have this self-proof, how can they spend a lot of effort to win him over?
In this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Now the benefits of pulling him into Santarin will bring them far more than those who continue to be enemies, and many things can be ignored, this is the code of conduct that they Santalin will always have, until it is determined that the other party's hypocrisy is deep in the bone marrow and cannot be used by them, they will start an all-out war with them, such as the harpists who have been ruining their affairs in the valley, no Santarin members will waste time and energy on them, they are all a bunch of bad brains, a bunch of-stirring sticks in the name of goodness, Do things that are harmful to others and not necessarily self-serving (generally altruistic, chaotic and good).
"Teacher, please rest assured, I know what to do." Xi Manmeng breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that even if this mistake was in the past, as long as Manson was not held responsible, there would be no second person in the Santarin Society who could point fingers at the Dark Castle, not even the number two Bozor.
Turning his gaze to the open sea swamp again, Simon asked, "Teacher, what should be done here?" I am afraid that many people who have never looked at the goblin frontier and the swamps of the far sea will focus their attention here, and want to continue to cover up the truth here, but I am afraid that it will not be so easy. ”
"Do you think someone will report this to the Prince of Lies?"
"Yes."
Manson replied meaningfully: "Those who want to do it don't have the ability, and those who have the ability to do this won't do it, because once they do, this godhead has nothing to do with them, they didn't do it before, so they won't do it now, and they won't do it in the future, especially after witnessing a demigod ascend to God again." ”
Rather than believing in how close their blockade is, Manson believes in the dark desires of the human heart, especially the gods of conspiracy and strife, and when they find the fragment of the godhead of the goddess of illusion and lies, the first thing that comes to mind is never to report it to themselves, but to find a way to claim it for themselves.
"It's not just the problem reported by His Highness's believers, but this fragment of Godhead has absorbed and devoured so many souls at once, I'm afraid that I have already counter-accused the Dark Girl and let the Misty Lady be reborn through the backdoor, Your Highness may sense her location by virtue of the connection between the priesthoods, if the incarnation of Your Highness comes to the door by herself, the Dark Castle is so close to here, I am afraid that there will be no way to explain this matter at that time." Simon himself disagreed with the fact that he had concealed the location of the Divine Fragment of the Goddess of Illusions and Lies from Ciric, the god of conspiracy, after all, in this matter, he only saw the risks, not the benefits, even if he really bought this Divine Fragment, he really wanted to use it to become a god?
The Prince of Lies will not sit idly by and watch others share the glory of illusion and lie priesthood with him, the moment he becomes a god, it will also be the moment when he fights, the goddess of illusion and lies in her heyday is not an opponent of the conspiracy prince, let alone a god who is trusted by the fragments of Godhead, and he destroys and takes away Godhead, it is a matter of minutes.
Mansong's eyes showed a solemn look and said: "This is the main reason why I came here on a special trip, His Highness's incarnation was blown up by the Lord of War, even if he sensed the location of this Godhead fragment, for most of the year, he did not have an incarnation to use." ”
Just like Calagos, the marauder who was reborn last year, the god of conspiracy, Syric, was just canonized last year, and it will take a whole year to create a divine incarnation, and this prince of lies has only one divine avatar so far, and this is also the case with him, the new goddess of magic.
"It's so serious." There was an unconcealed shock in Simon's expression, both shocked by the powerful combat power of Tampas, the Lord of War, and shocked by the series of effects this incident had on them.
The master of the conspiracy must have been forced into a corner, so he will sacrifice his divine incarnation, and it may even be to replace his true body, even if it is the same powerful divine power, it is not completely equal to each other, and it is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the main battle, not the main battle, the god of conspiracy and strife as a new powerful divine power that was only promoted last year, and now to challenge the divine power of an old powerful divine power, it is really not a wise move, then again, if Ciric is so rational and rational, He wouldn't be called crazy.
And this matter will have a great impact on them and even affect their internal fighting.
Due to the relationship of the Dark Lord Bane's Electorate Bozor, the Santarim Society has always had a large number of followers of the God of Tyranny, and even influenced their style of behavior for a time, implementing the dark tyranny rule in the Moon Sea region, and Manson was nicknamed the Tyrant of the Moon Sea.
Although the god of conspiracy, Hirek, brought together all the priesthoods of the three dark gods Baal, Mirkor, and Bane last year, but in view of the special and secretive nature of the followers of Baal, the god of murder, and Mirkor, the lord of death, Shirek mainly accepted the followers of Bane, the god of tyranny, with the Santarim Society as the core.
People like Simanmon, who did not agree with the idea of the god of tyranny in the first place, and some of the wall grass, did not hesitate to join Ciric's disciple and formed the conspiracy god faction in the Santarin Society.
But there is also a group of Bane believers, led by the Chosen Vox of the God of Tyranny, who firmly believe that the God of Tyranny is not dead, which can be reflected in the priesthood of Shirek, who only has the priesthood of strife, and the other priesthoods of the God of Tyranny hate, fear and tyranny are all absent, especially the last tyranny priesthood, which is the core priesthood of the Black King.
For the sake of faith, but also for the internal domination of the Santarin Society, the two factions were inseparable, and the batch of goods lost in the rocks became a fuse, detonating this contradiction, leading to a serious internal fighting in the Santarin Society.
Although the believers of the God of Conspiracy proudly call this infighting the Bane Massacre.
But Simon knew that they didn't touch the bones of those Bane believers at all, the god of conspiracy became a god for too short a time, and the foundation was not stable, and the believers of the Dark King led by Bozol had been operating in the Santarin Society for too long and had too deep roots, and many times, even Manson, the leader of the Santarin Society, had to look at his face and act, which was also the reason why Manson supported him to control the Dark Citadel and support the expansion of the faction of the God of Conspiracy, he did not completely serve the Prince of Lies, everything was his means of checks and balances.
The conspiracy faction's ability to suppress the tyrannical faction largely relies on Shirek to be able to rain down miracles at all times, and to descend his own divine incarnation at critical moments, while the god of tyranny has disappeared, and even the prayers of his followers cannot be answered, and the priest's divine magic cannot be lowered.
Now that the biggest hole cards of the conspiracy faction have been restricted for a whole year, those Bane believers who are holding back their bellies still haven't taken the opportunity to launch a crazy counterattack?
The only thing to be thankful for is that this kind of fighting is mainly concentrated in the Eastern Santarinhui, that is, the Santil Fort and the surrounding Moon Sea area, and has little impact on the Dark Fort of the Mountain High Emperor, although there are also believers of the Dark Hand here, but they have always been under their own suppression, although they are now also reverents of the God of Conspiracy, but they only agree with his style of acting, and have no intention of plunging into the vortex of fanatical theocracy for him for the time being, including fighting his old enemy Bozoor.
