The Bianhuang River was already close at hand. They could already see the river from a height of several hundred meters. Right in front of the conqueror's army, there was a bridge across the river of astonishing size looming.
Literally speaking, this bridge across the river looks like it is made of fog. It looks a bit erratic and appears and disappears in many places.
Directly above the bridge, there is a huge figure also made of mist. It is a human male with white hair and a very handsome appearance. He exudes the majesty of a king and holds a huge two-handed sword in his hand. A cloak was wrapped around him. Even if it was a shadow of mist, he could still feel that the cloak was being blown by the violent wind and wrapped around the owner's body.
This misty shadow is none other than Sandakol, the god of exploration and travel, the Slave of the Wind, the Helping Hand, and the God of the Road.
As the conqueror's army convoy approached the still-illusory cross-river bridge, the boulders carried on the truck were immediately wrapped in a violent whirlwind and lifted into the air.
In a burst of incredible exclamations, these boulders flew towards the still illusory bridge across the river.
These boulders were like fireballs flying from the hands of the mage, growing bigger as they flew. By the time they reached the illusory cross-river bridge, not only had their size expanded dozens of times, but their appearance had also been greatly adjusted and changed. Change, and become exactly the same as the position it fell on.
When these huge boulders fell up, the landing point of the illusory cross-river bridge immediately became no longer illusory, but had a real existence. There was no trace of fusion at the splicing position, as if it was born. If one body.
Seeing this situation, the voices of immigrants in the conquerors' army became louder, their eyes exuded endless fanaticism, and the merging speed of the bridge across the river became faster and faster, and the remaining mist showed signs of starting to turn solid on its own.
"Using entities as the guide, faith as the bricks, and humans acting as gods, they join forces to create an unprecedented bridge between humans and gods. The god of roads is a master of craftsmanship, and General Gavin is even more of a genius. He actually drove a god to become a god. They will definitely win this war, just wait and see which unlucky guy they are going to eat." The Crown Princess's eyes were shining, but she was not staring at Shanda Keer, the God of Travel and Exploration, and the God of Travel and Exploration. That bridge between humans and gods, but that tall half-elf.
This man is really terrifying. If there is no way to tie him to the Kingdom of Cormyr, then we can only destroy him by any means necessary. Otherwise, sooner or later, he will be like a greedy sea monster whale and destroy the Kingdom of Cormyr in one go. Swallow it.
And marriage is the best, a means of profit.
Of course, doing this is equivalent to letting him swallow the Kingdom of Cormyr. After all, his heir will become the king of the Kingdom of Cormyr in the future, but this is a mutual annexation, and the Kingdom of Cormyr will also own everything he conquered. The expansion of the territory will be faster than any dynasty in the Kingdom of Cormyr for thousands of years, and this great achievement will be completed in his own hands.
"Is this still a bridge? This is simply a battle fortress across the river." Yalusel couldn't help shouting again.
When I was in the uncertain fog, I didn't feel much of it. I didn't notice it until the boulder building the bridge fell down.
The size of this cross-river bridge is also a bit too big. It is not a two-lane, nor a four-lane, but a full eight-lane, which is enough to accommodate eight floor-type tanks driving side by side on it.
What's even more ridiculous is that the two sides of the bridge are not guardrails or pillars, but built in the model of a city wall and a fortress. They are battlements that are more than half a person's height, with shooting holes, and the bridge is nearly ten meters above the river. , which is the top of the city wall.
Even Yalusel, who was not particularly experienced in combat, reacted completely and exclaimed: "They don't just want to cross the river, they are planning to use this miraculous bridge as a fortress and fight here. This is a defensive counterattack. This is the battlefield they created for themselves. This plan is simply perfect. Even those believers of the God of Conspiracy in the Dark Castle would not have thought that General Gavin and the others would come up with a plan. Here it comes, here it comes, the Lizard Queen is back with her army of lizards. Haha, when I left, there was nothing here. When I came back, there was an unprecedented bridge across the river. I don’t know who it is. Her Royal Highness, what exactly will her expression look like?"
Being at an altitude of hundreds of meters is more conducive for them to have an overview of the entire battlefield.
A few kilometers away, they saw the raging waves rolled up by the Lizard Queen and her army of lizardmen, rushing towards them with great momentum.
Thanks to the force of the current and the crazy anger caused by being slapped hard, the waves stirred up by the Lizard Queen were bigger and more spectacular than when they went there, with a height of fifteen meters above the river surface.
Such waves are rare even in the sea.
Just this unimaginable huge wave can knock down most ordinary bridges directly, not to mention that there is also a terrifying giant dragon and her heirs in it.
But looking at the Bridge of Humans and Gods that was about to be completely formed in front of him, and then looking at the huge waves coming, Yalusel couldn't help but shake his head, and observed three minutes of silence for the Lizard Queen and her army of lizardmen. It was definitely them who suffered a bloody head.
The design of this bridge is very tricky. The piers are not in an elliptical shape with no edges and corners, but are uneven, especially the front. It is like a thick blunt knife. It will definitely not hurt anyone if it is touched, but if it is Rolled over by the huge flood, they are the sharpest swords, capable of cutting a person in half.
"The Pioneer Legion crossed the bridge first and organized a defense line on the spot to prevent the enemy from attacking the bridge from the ground.
All the floor-type chariots are on the bridge, forming the second and third lines of defense. All the old, weak, women and children enter the floor-type chariots to take shelter. Please do not stop praying. The stronger your faith, the more indestructible our bridge will be.
The armies of amputees have cut off the rear and guard our retreat.
Other regiments went to the bridge as planned and refused to defend. "
The commanders of the conqueror's army were also aware of the surging Lizard Queen, and they carried out their plans without panic and in an orderly manner.
Although this bridge was shaped by the divine power transformed by the power of faith, the God of Exploration and Travel, the drawings came from the army of conquerors.
This drawing was not given to the God of Roads and asked to follow it, but as many copies as possible were produced in the shortest possible time, and even made into a memory projection model, which was used throughout the entire army of conquerors. Circulation gave them a preconceived concept.
When the belief is passed from these people to the God of the Road, he can only carry out construction according to the image carried in the belief.
Most of the time, it is God who guides people, but when enough people gather together, they can in turn influence God. This is determined by the faith relationship between people and God.
This method is limited to those with weak divine power or quasi-gods who have few believers. When they reach strong divine power, their godhead is extremely stable, and they have hundreds of millions of believers, if you want to control them, you need to gather not a few believers. Thousands, hundreds of thousands, but millions or even tens of millions. This is almost an impossible task.
Precisely because there was a strict and thorough plan before this, when it was actually implemented, it gave people the feeling that the conqueror's army had practiced it countless times.
The tide is surging in the river of Bianhuang, and the bridge of humans and gods is surging with people.
The Bridge of Humans and Gods, which was originally a bit illusory, was stepped on without hesitation by countless big feet, kicked by countless animals, and rolled by countless huge wheels, forcibly compacting it to the edge of the wilderness. In the river.
As the bridge between man and god changed from virtual to real, the shadow of the God of Road in the sky became lighter and lighter. He did not disappear directly, but turned into thick fog and gradually joined the bridge below, becoming its part.
"How can it be?"
The lizard queen's fat neck stretched out to an unprecedented length, and her eyes, squeezed and wrapped by fat, opened wider than ever before. Every piece of fat, every fold, and every expression on her face revealed incredible emotions.
How long has it been?
They had passed by here only four hours ago at most, and it was still deserted.
How come a bridge appeared out of thin air here in the time it took?
Even if the bridge across the river is inflatable, it will take time to fully inflate it.
Why did the bridge pop out by itself when they ran over?
Wrong, wrong, the breath is wrong.
This bridge was not built purely by manpower, but by powerful magic.
But what wants to build such an extraordinary building is definitely not something ordinary magic can do, but a legendary spell that transcends the nine rings.
Could it be that the opponent's army has high-level legendary spellcasters who can cast legendary spells?
The magic network will give the caster basic spells up to the ninth level. If you want to cast spells above the ninth level, you have to find a way to learn or research by yourself.
At this level, there is no longer a continuous increase of ten and eleven rings, but a unified name for legendary spells, and then divided into low, medium and high legendary spells.
Mastering legendary spells is an important criterion for measuring a legendary caster. Before mastering legendary spells, one can only be called a legendary caster. Once one masters a legendary spell, whether it is a low-level one or a high-level one, one can only be called a legendary caster. Yue became a high-level legendary spell caster, because the power of legendary spells is far beyond ordinary spells. Once cast, it can destroy the world and destroy the world. It can definitely change the fate of many things.
In contrast, it is difficult to master legendary spells. Even if you have a teacher to teach you step by step, it often takes months or even years to master a legendary spell, and you have to spend a lot of research funds to cast spells. Materials cost money, and various attempts are inevitable during the learning process. Failure to cast a spell will also burn the casting materials.
If you are willing to learn, you must have someone willing to teach you. For spells above the fifth level, spellcasters will no longer trade easily, especially some unique spellcasting. This is his own foundation, just like the martial arts secrets of various sects.
The legendary spell is the most precious one, equivalent to the Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Changing Sutra in the Shaolin Sutra Pavilion, and cannot be taught except by the master.
If you want to do your own research, it is theoretically feasible, but in fact it is full of troubles. Just like all research, you spend time, energy, and huge sums of money, but in the end it comes to nothing. It is normal.
In the words of the legendary arcanist Filancini, this is the shackles that the goddess of magic puts on all spellcasters with magic nets, setting up numerous artificial obstacles.
What she sees is only the negative side. The positive side is that this greatly improves the safety factor of legendary spellcasters in studying legendary spells. They can calculate the success through the magic network by substituting some magic coefficients, some common sense experiments, etc. Probability, then make a decision.
Even if the research fails, most of the uncontrollable power will be absorbed by the magic network, keeping the recoil damage within a controllable range, instead of a completely out-of-control magic explosion that will blow the experimenter to pieces.
Even so, there are still rumors that one or two legendary spellcasters will kill themselves because of studying legendary spells every year - they usually prepare a variety of resurrection methods for themselves.
However, compared to the days of the Netherese Empire, such magical accidents are much rarer now. Back then, the legendary arcanist's mage tower or his territory would be blown up into the sky at every turn.
It is that kind of unrestricted and barbaric growth that gave birth to a large number of legendary spells. Eighty percent of the legendary spells that are now popular on the continent of Faerun come from that era, either true or variant.
All in all, legendary spells are very difficult to obtain. Eight out of ten legendary mages have not mastered them. Not to mention, the chance of mastering auxiliary legendary spells such as bridge building is even smaller.
Compared to legendary spells, the Lizard Queen believed that these were divine spells. Those high-ranking guys liked to meddle in other people's affairs.
No, to be more precise, they are taking advantage of the situation to gain their own benefits, but in the name of kindness and kindness. Such behavior is the most disgusting.
"Whether you were created by a legendary spell or the handiwork of a certain god, if you stand in my way today, you must be destroyed by me. This is me, the Queen of Thun Swamp, co-owner of the Scaled Ones, and leader of the Lizardmen. Said by the god Kurgor." The Lizard Queen roared angrily.
His body writhed crazily in the water, raising the waves a few meters higher and slamming them towards the Bridge of Humans and Gods that had just taken shape no more than ten minutes ago.
The first Bridge of Faith in Faerûn has faced its first test in this life, which will determine whether it can continue to stand in this world.
"Fire arrows."
The conqueror's army also adopted a response method, and tens of thousands of arrows rose into the sky.
This naturally comes from those immigrants. The army of conquerors is now an out-and-out armed immigrant. Those immigrants have at least one long-range attack weapon in their hands. Those who can shoot a bow are equipped with bows and arrows first, and the old, weak, sick and disabled who are unable to use a bow are equipped with them. Crossbow arrows.
The conqueror's army is large enough and provides long-range saturation coverage shooting. I can't say how lethal it is. The formation is absolutely amazing. Those troops and creatures that are not determined enough can still be able to face the rain of arrows. I'm afraid there aren't many that stand still.
It's just that the enemy they faced was a bit special. They were caught in the huge waves and floods. They could only vaguely see huge figures, but they couldn't see their true faces. The arrows fell on the huge waves, and they disappeared into the sea a second ago. In the next second, it turned into a floating object and followed the huge waves of the flood towards the Bridge of Humans and Gods.
The arrow rain could not break through the huge water shield stirred up by the Lizard Queen at all, and could not pose a substantial threat to the Lizardmen army. This further boosted their arrogance. Countless amphibious creatures emerged from the huge waves from time to time. It seemed that When provoking the conquerors' army, in fact, while observing the distance between the two sides and looking for a suitable attack point, many lizardmen had already taken a throwing spear from their backs and prepared to launch a long-range attack on the conquerors' army.
The humid swamp environment and amphibious habits they live in make them neither suitable for making bows and arrows nor suitable for long-term storage. Spears thrown by their own power are the best means of long-range attack.
"Fire the arrow!"
A new round of orders sounded in the army of conquerors.
The trembling of bowstrings sounded again on the Bridge of Humans and Gods. This time it was extremely intense, and the air was filled with buzzing tremors.
This time it was no longer those armed immigrants, but a ballistae coming from the top of a tower-style chariot.
At least 200 of the 300 floor-type chariots have been dragged onto the Bridge of Humans and Gods, and are placed there in four staggered rows of canine teeth, forming a huge defensive maze. Even if the enemy jumps on the Bridge of Humans and Gods, , the defenders of the conqueror's army can also rely on these floor-type tanks to organize defense on the spot.
Before that, the first to show off their power were the crossbow carts installed on them. Some of these crossbow carts came from Ritawen, and some came from Ivanso, but most of them came from Misnoel, the self-made ones of the woad tree people.
Those tree people who are born with the ability to bend and shape wood can become the best carpenters in the world if they want to. Because they manipulate the characteristics of wood, they can easily find and repair flaws in the wood. The characteristics of various woods are explored to the extreme. The wood they process is harder if it is famous for its hardness, and more flexible if it is famous for its toughness. This ability is limited to strengthening, which forcibly changes the characteristics of wood, such as pine wood turning into poplar wood. , it’s not impossible, but it costs too much, typically getting twice the result with half the effort, and is far less convenient than strengthening it on the original basis.
The crossbows imitated by these woad tree men are not only more durable, but their range and power will be increased by about 50%. The operation is actually more convenient than those made by humans, and only requires the cooperation of three people.
The Conqueror's army is installed on the floor-type chariots, which are all heavy-duty crossbows that use rotating nooses. The base of the vehicle has been removed and directly installed on the top of the floor-type chariot, which is perfectly integrated with the double-layer structure of the tank. Come together.
Although it requires three people to use it together, only one person needs to stand on the second floor of the floor-type tank to control and aim, while the other two people huddle on the first floor to perform a series of auxiliary tasks such as stirring the noose and winding the crossbow. Therefore, these auxiliary tasks The work was not left to the young and strong, but was assisted by the old, weak, women and children hiding in the building-style chariots. With the strength of the people, it was very easy to complete the work.
