"To be honest with you Lord, during the process of purifying Wezeme Manor, we unintentionally sabotaged the conspiracy plan of the immortal goddess of vengeance Qiyalansari. From that time on, I was labeled as a blasphemer by her, and her followers have always been You want to eradicate me and create a conspiracy around me. The undead you mentioned is most likely a war machine created for me." Gavin told the truth, there was nothing to hide.
This matter is not a random guess, but is indicated by various signs of things happening around him, such as the disappearance of the remains of the body of his brother Roang, who is not related to him by blood.
After the investigation, it was found that he was resurrected using magic and became a resurrected corpse, a kind of undead with the purpose of revenge. Without asking, you know that it must be the work of the believers of the Immortal Nemesis, but just like those believers of the Immortal Nemesis , after Luo Ang's resurrected corpse was resurrected, there was no movement at all, as if he had completely given up revenge.
This is absolutely impossible. Revenge is the only meaning of the existence of the resurrected zombies. No one can stop their revenge.
The same is true for those believers of the Immortal Nemesis. For them, they are not seeking revenge on themselves, but completing a God-given mission, which is their most noble mission.
There has been no movement for a long time. The only explanation is that he feels that his chances of winning are not good, and he is accumulating strength, and then launches a fatal blow to himself.
After all, others don't know their unique abilities. It's impossible for those believers of the Immortal Nemesis not to know, and they will definitely try their best to find ways to restrain their own power.
The indescribable terrifying existence mentioned by Lord Selmen is the upper body of a female elf, the lower body of a spider, and is pieced together from countless corpses. It can be said that there are many elements. The only thing that meets these many elements is immortal revenge. Goddess Qiyawensari.
The upper body of the female elf probably represents not the surface elf but the drow elf, just because it is pieced together from corpses and there is no way to tell them apart.
As for the lower body of the spider, this is not difficult to explain. For a long time, the Immortal Nemesis had to swear allegiance to Rose, the Spider Queen, and live in her divine kingdom, the Pit Demon Web, stealing a little of the original owner's abilities. That's It's a normal thing, especially since Qiyawensari has been secretly resisting the Spider Queen.
"The blasphemer of the Immortal Nemesis? Are you talking about the fallen queen of the drow elves?" Selmen couldn't help but change his color slightly. On the surface, the Immortal Nemesis is not well-known, that is, in recent years, she has The north is slightly more active.
Most ordinary people don't know that there is such a god in Faerun. Most of the people who know about her are elves or half-elves. After all, the history of drow gods and elves are intertwined, and the goddess of undead vengeance is drow. You, the Elven Queen, become a god.
"Yes, that's her." Gavin nodded and said, "What we need to worry about is that guy. The threat posed by those Kuo Tao fish people is relatively limited. If they want to eat my new village, they can't do it without thousands of troops. Come, you don’t need to pay attention to them for the time being, I have an expert on the Immortal Vengeance here, let’s consult her and see if we can gain anything.”
Gavin showed full confidence in Vizeme New Village.
It is true that the new village is only half built, but its scale is much larger than what you can see with the naked eye.
Because the priority for construction here was not above ground but underground. When it was discovered that this place was part of an underground mountain range and had sufficient support, the ability of these kobold builders to dig tunnels was naturally brought to its fullest.
In addition to the above-ground passages, there is also a passage network underground in the new village, which can connect the basements under many buildings to form a three-dimensional defense network. It can maximize the kobold's ability to use traps, and it is easy to suffer big losses if you are not careful. .
If those Kuo Tao fishmen were in the water, Gavin would definitely be helpless against them. After all, his only water force was sent to Lingyu Valley and Geng Valley for disaster relief. Even here, Gavin would not dare to send them easily. They dispatched - facing this kind of underwater enemy, ships had no advantage and could easily be drilled through the hull.
But once these Kuo-toa people climb ashore and try to attack New Village or Vizeme Manor, he will teach them what the way of war is.
"Okay." Selemen couldn't help but recall the scene he just saw above the new village, and found that those Kuo Tao fish people really had nothing to worry about.
He was a little anxious before because these kuo-toa people had an absolute numerical advantage, at least compared to other forces in the valley. Thousands of kuo-toa people suddenly jumped out of the water, which would definitely give the valley power. Most villages were devastated.
But when they arrived at Weizemei New Village, their advantage was gone instantly. The number of kobolds here was even more terrifying.
In field battles, these kobolds definitely have no advantage, but in positional battles relying on the new village that has begun to take shape, there is no problem.
After all, these Kuo-Toa people don't carry too many armors and siege equipment, and they rely solely on their physical bodies to fight.
When Gavin took Selmen back to Vizeme Manor, there was no terrifying sight of soaring yin energy, even more shadowy than the shadowy plane.
Their true shadow army has been assembled, but not here, but in the Tower of Dominance of Misnoel, so that the place always maintains a feeling of neither being too strong nor too weak.
The transfer of troops between the two is instantaneous. There is no difference between the assembly here and the assembly there. However, tactically, it can effectively confuse the enemy and make them underestimate the strength of Vizeme Manor.
Not even the six-armed snake demon showed up. Only Estelle and Daphne were waiting here. When he saw that Gavin had a drow here, Lord Selemen did not show too extreme emotions. On the contrary, he even took the lead and nodded to Daphne with a smile.
This situation aroused Gavin's curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask: "The Lord seems to have his own unique views on the drow."
"You are saying that you are not as prejudiced as other elves or half-elves." Selmen corrected Gavin's gentle statement and replied with a smile, "It is undeniable that most drow elves are evil. This is not only caused by the gods they believe in, but also forced by the environment in which they live. Even if a group of the most orthodox elves are placed in their living environment, if they want to grow up and survive, they will not be able to survive. They must become as selfish, cunning, and rebellious as they are.
But there are exceptions to everything. There are some drow who hate and despise that way of life, and want to pursue a brighter and freer way of life. Many of them accepted the guidance of the silver-haired lady and sought to return to the ground and integrate into the world. They once lived in the same clan.
For such drow, we should stretch out our hands to embrace them instead of pushing them away. Only in this way can the power of the evil mother and son of Lolth and Velen be divided. "
The silver-haired lady at the door of Seler is the nickname of the Dark Maiden Eilistraee. She is the biological daughter of the Spider Queen Rose and the sister of the Masked King Velen.
When the Spider Queen Lolth was still the Elf Queen Aroshi, she once teamed up with her son Velen to try to seize the supreme rule of the entire Seldarine pantheon from her husband Corellon Larethian. They used conspiracy to The trick tricked Eilistraee into nearly killing her own father with an arrow.
After Lolth and Velen's conspiracy was exposed, they were demoted from the kingdom of God and fell into the abyss by the angry elven god Corellon.
The dark girl Eilistraee vowed never to use long-range weapons again, and insisted that she should be exiled from the Kingdom of Arvandor together with her mother and brother, not because of the arrow she shot by mistake, but With a kind heart, she foresaw that one day she would need to balance the evil of her mother and brother, and save a glimmer of light and hope for the drow who were forced to follow their mother and brother into exile underground.
She has been doing this over the years. Originally, her main followers were concentrated among the Ilythri elves in the south. This is a dark-skinned elf who is very similar to the drow and is often misidentified. However, in the Dark Catastrophe During the war, a large number of her followers died, causing her influence to decline significantly. Only then did the evil gods of Lolth, Velen and Ghaunadaur greatly increase their influence among the dark elves.
In recent centuries, the Dark Maiden has tried to lead the fallen elves back to the sunlight they had long abandoned. It is this new perspective that allows her influence to rapidly expand in Faerûn, and it is no longer simply limited. Among the drow, elves, half-elves, and humans also began to expand in places where they intersected with the drow.
Because when her faith begins to expand, those evil drow elves will be greatly suppressed. Unlike demons and demons, the evil of drow elves is not innate, but the environment in which they grow up. On the one hand, the most important thing is that they believe in the influence of gods.
Even if Selmen is not a believer in Eilistraee, he must have been baptized by her teachings.
Hearing what he said, Gavin immediately knew what he was saying. He smiled and praised: "The mind of Lord Lord is as broad as the endless sea. No wonder you, Deep Forest Valley, are known as the most orthodox successors to the legacy of Myth Drannor. Since you are so familiar with these things, The drow who have returned from their lost ways can reach out and embrace them, let alone other kind races."
"Sir, Sir, the heir to Misdrannor's will is the Elf King's Court, not our deep forest valley." Selmen denied, "We will have plenty of time to discuss the matter of governing concepts in the future. Now we can determine whether those enemies are What comes to you is more important."
"What the Lord said is right." Gavin followed his advice and shared the information he obtained from Selmen with Daphne, and asked, "According to your understanding of the undead priest Dilila, she has Is it impossible to create this kind of undead?"
Daphne replied without thinking: "If Delilah alone would definitely not have this ability, it would be hard to say if she could borrow part of her power from the Immortal Furies. There is a species in the abyss called the Death Patroller." The terrifying undead can absorb corpses on the battlefield and grow rapidly. I once heard Dilila accidentally mention that the undead goddess of revenge has always wanted to research her own war weapons to strengthen her advantage in the undead field."
"Then it's almost the same." Gavin nodded and said, "I think I already know what tactics the enemy is planning to use to deal with us. Regardless of whether the enemy is coming for us or not, we can't just sit idly by and ignore this matter. , we must mobilize some of our troops to come back to deal with various situations. Lord, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you longer."
Selmen nodded understandingly and said: "Sir, don't worry about me. Even if you go ahead and make preparations, I still need to return to Yevin Pond and continue to keep an eye on the Kuo-Tao fishmen to prevent them from making other moves."
"Then I'd like to trouble my lord. If my guess is wrong, these Kuo Tao fishmen and the patchwork undead are not coming for us. Please send someone to inform us in time. We will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. Yes, there is no way to send out a large army, but some elites can still be mobilized." Gavin solemnly promised.
"Definitely." Selmen agreed.
Not to mention how Gavin selects soldiers for deployment, Selmen rides his Pegasus and rushes non-stop in the direction from which he came. Before he reaches the Sambo River, he is with him The elite team collided head-on.
This shows that after these Kuo Tao fishmen left the Sambo River, they ran towards the land of three rivers. The swords in the deep forest also confirmed this.
But after having the Three Rivers Land and his party, Selmen felt more confident and was not as anxious as before.
If this group of Kuo Tao fishmen were really going towards the new village of Weizemei, it would be better than the other people who were harassing the valley everywhere.
When they were in the Sambo River, limited by the width and depth of the river, these Kuo-tao fishmen marched in the shape of a long snake. After entering Yewen Pond, the water was wide enough and they completely gathered together, forming a Looks like an army.
The specific number cannot be measured, but they only know that it is more than one kilometer long and wide. When they swam toward the new village of Vizeme, a huge wave gathered around them, getting bigger and bigger. When it hit the shore, This wave has reached more than six meters.
It was like these kuo-toa people were manipulating the water waves to become their power.
This is also true. This is the result of the priests of the kuo-toa, who use the innate ability of the kuo-toa to manipulate water and combine it with their specialization in water-based spellcasting. The more kuo-toa there are, the more , the greater the water conservancy that can be induced.
This army of Kuo Tao fishmen directly controlled the huge wave and slammed it towards the new village of Vizeme on the shore of Yewen Pond.
The first row of stone buildings standing like a city wall bore the brunt of the attack.
boom!
The huge waves hit a solid one.
Selmen and other soldiers in the deep forest valley couldn't help but widen their eyes, and their hearts were in their throats.
This wave is really not small. Even after it reaches the shore and consumes part of it, it is still more than four meters high when it reaches the building. Not to mention these buildings, even the walls of some small towns cannot withstand this kind of wave. The pounding of huge waves, not to mention the manipulation of magical power behind it.
"Okay!" The applause that followed was as intense as the previous worry.
The stone buildings hit by those huge waves were as motionless as cliffs.
These deep forest valley soldiers did not know that due to the lack of steel bars as core support in their hands, when building these buildings, the kobolds adopted their best construction method, which was to make the walls thick enough, and then use plastic stones to build them after they were built. In order to be spliced and reinforced, especially the row of buildings outside, in a short period of time, it will also serve as a city wall.
Therefore, the thickness of the outer walls is three times that of ordinary buildings, and every inch of space inside and outside has been enhanced with stone shaping techniques.
To put it bluntly, this building is now a whole. If you want to knock it down, let alone a wave of four or five meters, even if it is fourteen or five meters, it will be submerged at most, not destroy.
On the contrary, the waves hitting the new village were diverted, and most of the waves were blocked. However, three of them went straight in for hundreds of meters along the wide east-west streets. The water rushing into the new village did not go back, but rushed forward. It got smaller and smaller in the process, and finally disappeared.
Part of it is diverted by the streets, but a larger part is directly poured into the huge sewer system of Vizeme New Village.
As the blocked lake water receded, the manipulators were revealed. They were all short and stout, with fish heads and human bodies. Their bodies were covered with dense scales and were slippery. They held various strange-looking weapons in their hands.
There is a shield carved from a huge bone in the hand. It is sticky, as if it is smeared with glue. It seems to be dripping, but it never falls. This is the unique sticky shield of the Kuo Toa fish. It can not only stick to the enemy's weapons, but also stick to the enemy's weapons. Hitting an enemy or prey can also stick it to them. This stickiness is not only useful on the ground, but can also be used in water.
Some held in one hand a huge hook, like a butcher's hook, curved with a barb, and in the other a harpoon with a rope attached.
Most of them are holding a strange weapon called a pincer staff. This weapon is a wooden handle with an openable pliers installed on it. Once it is applied to a thin part such as the enemy's neck or arm, the inside of the pliers will After the mechanism is hit, it will bite the enemy tightly. The more it is pulled in two directions, the tighter the bite.
Compared to those destructive weapons, the Kuo Tao people prefer this kind of capture weapon. This is a habit retained from the slave period. They need to capture more slaves for their masters, even if they are now free. , this habit has not changed.
But don't underestimate the power of this kind of equipment. Coupled with their innate brute strength, they are also very efficient when killing people.
Provided they can find the enemy.
In Wezeme New Village, which had been warned by Selmen in advance, all the kobolds gathered around them disappeared.
