It wasn't until Gavin and Catherine were the only two people left in the camp that Gavin lowered his voice and asked, "Madam, tell me the truth. Has His Highness reached a critical moment and prepared to officially become a god?"
Demigods can only be called quasi-gods.
She has obtained the divine spark and obtained the priesthood, but has not yet been able to ignite the divine fire and condense her own divine personality. Naturally, she does not have enough ability to raise her own divine kingdom. This makes her unable to respond to the prayers of believers and collect faith. There are huge flaws.
The most important thing is that she has no place to place those devout believers who died - the normal process is to be taken back to the Kingdom of God by messengers from the City of Judgment and transformed into petitioners or heroic spirits or divine attendants. This depends on the deceased's life. Depends on strength and faith.
"Yes." Catherine nodded solemnly, "I would like to thank you Lord for this matter. It is your unswerving help that allowed her influence to spread out of Tessel and spread to the entire continent so quickly."
"This is what I should do." Gavin said with a smile, "I don't know about this matter, how can I cooperate with Madam?"
"As long as you win this war, it will be the best help to the lady." Catherine replied.
"Okay, I understand what to do." Gavin did not ask any more questions.
This is a common feature of war gods. Winning the final victory is the best sacrifice, and the goddess of strategy is no exception. After all, it represents the success of plans and strategies.
No matter how grand your plan is, it means nothing if it doesn't succeed.
…
"Quarrying? The army of conquerors is quarrying on a large scale? They are planning to build a bridge across the river directly on the border river, haha... They are at the end of their skills. If they want to build a bridge here, they have to ask We all agree, haha... I want their corpses to fill the entire Border River, and all the wealth will belong to us." The Lizard Queen roared excitedly, as if she saw countless wealth pouring towards her.
While the conqueror's army was planning for this battle, the Lizard King's think tank team was not idle either. They formulated a detailed battle plan based on their own characteristics and the surrounding geographical situation.
Just as the conqueror army predicted, this plan is to rely on the border river for sniping, and it can only rely on the border river for sniping. This is both the disadvantage of the conqueror army and the advantage of the lizard army. They have no The second option is that they are not planning to engage in conspiracy at all, but are out-and-out planning, waiting to see what method the conqueror army is planning to use to break the situation.
After calculating for a long time, the other party actually used the stupidest method.
"However, they placed the bridge construction site in the section of the Distant Sea Swamp, far away from us. In this way, we have no way to launch a surprise attack from the Thun Swamp. We must move the main force into the middle and upper section of the Border River to facilitate Let's adapt accordingly." Spirit Naga, the minister of the Lizard King's court, suggested.
"This shows that they pay more attention to our Lizard Court than the swamps of the distant sea. They try to lengthen our marching route as much as possible and let us join the war slowly." Not only was the Lizard Queen not unhappy because of the targeted treatment, On the contrary, Long Xin was delighted, "But the three hags in the distant sea swamp are not that easy to deal with. Compared with the combat effectiveness of the army, what they are best at is conspiracy. What's going on over there?"
"So far, they have gathered an army of nearly 10,000 gnolls and an equal number of swamp creatures, and there has been no other movement." After the spirit naga finished answering, the mixed human-snake face was the first to show doubts, "This is very different from their previous style of doing things. What they didn't like the most before was fighting the army head-on."
The Lizard Queen said unconcernedly: "It's not that they didn't like to fight the army head-on before, but they didn't have an army that they could take advantage of, so they could only rely on conspiracy to make up for it. Now they have established an alliance with the old jackal in the abyss. With the contact, they can transform a large number of Jackals and Abyss Jackals. When they think they are powerful, their behavior style will naturally change. However, in this way, they will not pose much of a threat to us. Those Jackals are also landlubbers. , once you get into the water, you won’t be able to withstand the killings of our two battle groups.”
"That's true." The spirit naga nodded involuntarily, "In this way, we will be in an invincible position in this battle."
Previously, what the Lizard Court was most worried about was neither the large army of conquerors nor the dark castle that was good at conspiracy, but the legendary gathering of hags who were also swamp forces. The forces possessed by the first two were the purest ground troops. Even if they couldn't defeat him, there was nothing they could do if they dived into the water and retreated to the Thun Swamp.
The latter has the ability to follow in, and the relationship between the two parties has always been very tense. Not only is the Lizard Queen peeking into the distant sea swamp, but the hags have also been trying to extend their claws into the Thun Swamp to control everything here.
"Where is the Dark Castle?" Lizard Queen asked.
Although the three parties have the same goal, in view of the mutual peeping between them, there is no way to turn the enemy of the enemy into one's friend. To truly join forces, on the contrary, they must beware of each other.
Because after destroying the army of conquerors, if it goes smoothly, the other party will definitely not mind destroying one or both of them, so as to achieve the goal of monopolizing everything - becoming the master of the goblin frontier is the common goal of the three major forces. Originally, there was another The Kingdom of Cormyr, but they chose to stand by and not take action against the conqueror's army.
Of course, this does not mean that they have no movement at all. They have assembled a purple dragon army of 3,000 people at the High Horn Castle at the west gate of the Kingdom of Cormyr, led by their crown princess Tynarasta. They are here Definitely not for dry food.
As soon as the army of conquerors moves, they will definitely follow them deep into the goblin frontier. Picking up bargains is what every force likes to do, even the Kingdom of Cormyr, which is known as a good force, is no exception. As for who the bargains come from, then It depends on the development of the war situation.
Even if the conqueror's army is defeated, they can still take the opportunity to recruit some of the defeated troops and refugees to enrich themselves. This is their advantage as a kind force of mankind.
"The various monster troops they have gathered there are said to be one hundred thousand, and they are gathering towards the Bianhuang River. However, this claim will definitely be as big as the water in the swamp. It is quite remarkable that their troops can exceed fifty thousand. Among them, A large part of them are goblin cannon fodder." Talking about the Dark Castle, the spirit naga could not hide his disdain in his words.
I don’t know if this disdain is directed at the miscellaneous soldiers they gathered? Or it stems from the hatred between the two parties.
"On the frontal battlefield, this miscellaneous army will definitely not be able to exert much combat effectiveness, but if they rely on the border river to defend, they will cause a lot of trouble to the conqueror's army and bring great convenience to us in harvesting in the water. ." The Lizard Queen's small eyes shone with wisdom and cunning.
Anyone who mistakenly thinks that she is a brainless and low-combat person because of her obesity is basically not far away from becoming her next dinner.
"Let's go, let's go, the army of conquerors has set off." A black dragon and half-dragon lizard man flapped his wings and shouted as he flew into the dragon's nest palace.
"Where is their marching route?" The spirit naga asked hurriedly.
"Just follow the road they just built and go straight to the bridge building site in the direction of the distant sea swamp." The black dragon and half-dragon lizard man answered quickly.
"It's our turn to set off." Lizard Queen Yangtian let out a high-pitched dragon roar. Compared with the incredibly fat body, the pair of dragon wings that were a little thin and small flapped hard and fast. For a moment, the entire In the Dragon's Nest Palace, it was like a small whirlwind. The spirit naga had to coil up and curl up into a ball to avoid being blown away by the wind.
Staggering, the Lizard Queen actually lifted her front feet off the ground, preparing to take off into the air.
She used the actual situation to explain what it means to be physically powerful, and her strength may have exceeded a certain limit.
But her weight has also reached an unprecedented level, at least beyond her expectations, beyond the load on her wings.
"Roar!" The Lizard Queen was not the kind of person to give up easily. She roared angrily, and the fat and fat inlaid on her body like sarcoma actually began to squirm. They did not disappear. They just adjusted their arrangement slightly, forming A unique rune vein was formed, and a huge whirlwind emerged out of thin air, wrapping around her body, lifting her huge body and assisting her in flying.
With external help, the Lizard Queen finally got her wish and soared into the sky. However, it didn't look like a strong dragon from a distance, but a fleshy ball with wings. She could only fly now, so don't expect speed. Just how fast and sensitive it is.
Both the spirit naga and the black dragon and half-dragon lizard people are accustomed to such situations.
Only Miklos couldn't help but change her color slightly, and manipulated her own fat to achieve magic-like effects. Let alone seeing, she had never heard of special abilities before. Eighty percent of them were from extraordinary physical or legendary physical rewards, tailor-made for her. special ability.
Assisting in flying is probably just one of the uses of this ability. There should be many other wonderful uses. It's hard to guess the others. But one thing can be guessed. Not only does she have an amazing physique, but her defense power is also amazing. She is so fat. Meat is her best shield and armor. The fatal damage done to others is like scratching an itch on her.
After the shock, there was a deep joy that could not be concealed, because the other party was now his ally, and the stronger he showed, the more helpful he would be. He was already looking forward to when the Lizard Queen appeared in the sky above the conqueror's army. It was such a shocking scene.
She can easily disrupt the entire war situation by herself.
Not to mention an ordinary stone bridge, even a bridge built with magic cannot withstand the crazy tossing of a behemoth weighing hundreds of tons. Without a legendary team (four to five) with high-quality equipment, personnel matching, etc. People), it is impossible to complete the task of slaying a dragon. Although the Lizard Queen is only in her old age, due to her uncontrolled gluttony, her strength in all aspects has been accumulated to a level that far exceeds that of dragons of the same age.
Let alone a dragon of the same age group, Mikros was not optimistic about a dragon one age older than her.
Of course, this was only if the dragon was willing to confront her head-on. If other dragons wanted to escape, with her clumsy flying style, slow flying speed, and lack of time to take off, the other dragon would have disappeared long ago.
"Attack the entire army, Alhashan, don't forget to take our guests with you." The terrifying figure of the Lizard Queen had already flown out from the reserved patio of the Dragon's Nest Palace, but the loud voice still came back.
The spirit naga nodded towards Mikros and said, "Sir, please."
Mikros sighed helplessly in his heart. This was the most difficult monster force he had ever encountered. Although it was so powerful, he was still cautious. He had inquired and inquired, verified and verified all the information. They were afraid that they were sent by the enemy to deceive them.
Now that all the news is 100% certain, they still have no intention of letting him go. They hold him tightly in their hands, and the spirit naga is hovering around them 24 hours a day, even when sleeping. , doesn’t he know that his appearance is very scary to ordinary people?
I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a face that was neither human nor snake not far away, staring at me without blinking. No matter how courageous I was, I was scared to death.
It depends on what they mean. They will not let themselves go until they defeat the conqueror's army. Once they are defeated at the hands of the conqueror's army, they will definitely not get their own good fruits.
This is the consequence of dealing with monster forces. They have no reason at all and act completely according to personal wishes and preferences. Next, they must prepare a retreat. Since any war, especially such a large-scale war, must be full of endless challenges. With so many variables, even the God of War would not dare to say victory, let alone a mortal.
Moreover, the army of conquerors has created many brilliance and miracles along the way, and has a close relationship with the goddess of strategy. Who knows whether they will come up with unexpected methods this time?
Miklos always thought that the conqueror's army's response method this time was too ordinary, and it was very different from its previous behavior.
Is it due to lack of skills? Or is there an even more incredible trick hidden behind it?
But unfortunately, even if Miklos tried hard, he couldn't think of any better ways for the opponent to break the game. He could only follow the spirit naga out and continue to think about it.
Roar!
The lizard queen flew out from the dragon's lair and couldn't help roaring again, revealing unconcealable pride and excitement.
Because there was a dense army gathered outside the Dragon Palace. When she passed by from low altitude, everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on her. There was unconcealed respect and awe in her. She was their king. , their god, everything they have is given by themselves, they must surrender to themselves and swear allegiance to themselves unconditionally.
"My people, the time has come for you to prove your worth, loyalty, and valor to your queen, to your goddess, I, Kurgor. There is an army of immigrants called the Conquerors outside, trying to I, the great Queen of Kurgol, passed through the land of Thun without permission. This is an insult to me and to you. This insult must be washed away with blood and replaced with flesh. To repay, to make amends with wealth, I declare that from now on, everything they have is mine.
You have only one mission, which is to kill all those who stand in your way, whether they are humans or monsters, until you take back all the wealth that belongs to me. "
The rising lizard queen made an impromptu speech while flying. It was full of unreasonable hegemony and made plunder so natural. However, the black-scaled lizardmen and servant races below were used to it and responded one after another. and cheers.
In Thun Swamp, there is no second will or second voice, even the black-scaled lizardmen who are first-class citizens are no exception. They are just higher-level servants. Compared with ordinary servant races, they are not allowed to have a second will or a second voice. , the only preferential treatment is that if they make a mistake, they have the opportunity to spend money to make up for it, and they will not be immediately eaten as a snack by the Lizard Queen.
But the problem is, everything they own belongs to the Lizard Queen, so how can they have extra wealth to make up for their mistakes? In the end, it seemed that only the two taels of meat on her body were worth any money, enough to stuff the lizard queen's teeth.
As the slow figure of the Lizard Queen passed through the air, the entire Thun Swamp became restless, surging behind her like a tide until it reached the edge of the river that ran through Thun Swamp.
After arriving here, the Lizard Queen did not continue flying, but plunged into the river of the wilderness. The scene was like a small piece of meteorite smashing into the river. The sound was quite terrifying, and it seemed that it could be vaguely seen. To the riverbed below.
As the river water submerged its round black figure, the thick and round dragon tail swung, the lizard queen began to swim quickly, at a considerable speed.
Her current body shape is more suitable for swimming than flying, and the buoyancy of the river water can carry much more weight than the magic of flying.
The first thing she did after entering the water was that the Lizard Queen did not rush away. Instead, she stuck her head out of the water and opened her big mouth. A strange scene appeared. Countless river fish, large and small, actually came out of the water with great force. It bounced up and jumped directly into the big mouth of the Lizard Queen for her to feast on.
