Chapter 52 Counterattack!

overseas islands. Modo City.

Today's Modo City is a bit lively, because many residents of Modo City have gathered near the central square, and are staring at the center of the square with curiosity at the moment. In the center of the square was a group of gray dwarves gathered together. They looked ragged, basically covered in animal skin clothes, and the old men with disheveled hair and long beards looked like savages. Surrounding the square was a group of drow instructors, staring at them grimly at the moment. Not far away, there were priests from the temple, who seemed to be discussing how to settle the gray dwarves.

Suddenly came to an unfamiliar environment, and the expressions of these gray dwarves also seemed a little anxious.

There were not many of them, about two or three hundred of them. At the moment, they were surrounded by a group of residents of Modo City. Although they saw the fellow drow in the Underdark, these gray dwarves still looked very nervous. The residents of Modo City can be regarded as well-informed, but their curious and onlooker nature has not changed much. Many people are seeing gray dwarves for the first time. Probably because of the self-confidence of the citizens of Modo City, they were not afraid of these legendary evil races, but instead looked around curiously.

The drow are much more evil than the gray dwarves in the legend.

Don't you think that you are quite honest in Modo City, tamed by Lord Sauron, and getting along well with other races?

It is said.

One of the drow elf instructors fell in love with a pure half-elf girl, and their relationship was blessed by the bishop of the Great Temple.

This is Modo City.

It is different from any city in the material plane!

"alright!"

The drow instructor with a grim expression came in front of these gray dwarves and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, the High Priest, has already arranged your accommodation!"

"From now on, you are residents of Modo City."

"The target is placed in the blacksmith shop next to the military camp. If you make enough contributions in the future, you can also buy your own property in Modo City."

After casually explaining a few things, the drow instructor ordered the gray dwarves to set off.

After all, the gray dwarves are an alien race, and it takes a little bit of work for the residents of Modo City to accept them. Therefore, they can only live near the barracks for the time being, and also monitor and let them learn the rules of Modo City. The nature of the gray dwarves is not very good, but the laws of Modo City can tame them. Now the drow instructor in front of him is thinking about how to find an opportunity to beat these gray dwarves. Let them know that they must be honest and honest to live in Modo City.

the other side.

The figure of the high priest was sitting on the throne in front of the temple. Nearby was a priest and bishop of higher rank. She glanced around. Slowly said: "This is the arrangement of my lord."

"These gray dwarves are the labor force needed for the future development of Modo City. They will be handed over to you for monitoring in the future, and there are still a group of gray dwarves that have not been brought back."

"In the future, the number of gray dwarves in Modo City will be around 1,000."

"You need to pay more attention here, don't let them have any conflicts with the residents of Modo City."

the other side.

In the shadow plane laboratory in Modo City, Goliath also quickly received the news.

So, she immediately found the fallen witch who was researching, and said, "Mother, Sauron has sent someone to bring the gray dwarves back. When do you think these gray dwarves will start to forge materials for us?"

A floating tower requires a lot of metal ingots.

These little things cannot always be done by the two legendary witches. Modo City itself does not have a very good blacksmith. It also takes a lot of energy to cultivate.

Duergars are born blacksmiths.

With the help of these gray dwarves, not only the progress of the floating tower will be accelerated, but the output of the golem factory will also be increased.

Now there are thousands of golem puppets in Modo City.

………………

Windspear Hills.

After a night of indulgence, Sauron felt in good spirits. After explaining some things to Adele-Isabella, he was ready to leave and return to Modo City. He didn't have much nostalgia for the two stunning noble maids. For a high and true god, these things are just his pleasure and enjoyment to relax himself occasionally. As a god, he always needs to deal with many things.

The time has entered March.

The goddess of magic has not yet fallen, but no one knows her whereabouts. Even Sauron couldn't take the initiative to find her.

Something big will happen this month.

That is the demon lord of the bottomless abyss - [Dagon], one of the ancient Orbis demons. After the other demons failed in the first two attacks, they began to infiltrate the ocean domain of the material plane.

This time the action spread to the entire overseas region.

Sauron once participated in this war, and also accepted the mission entrusted by the Church of the Sea.

Because the battle took place in the ocean area, the impact on land is not very serious. So most of the other gods are waiting and watching. However, overseas is Sauron's territory. If [Dagon] is allowed to cause damage, the ocean trade of Modo City will definitely be affected. This time, he needs to plan ahead and reduce Modo City's investment in ocean trade. After the Goddess of the Sea and Dagon have a winner, they are considering rearranging many overseas routes.

There is still about half a month before the outbreak of war.

[Son of Dagon] will appear again, and I am afraid there will be more than one, because this ancient demon lord has many heirs.

The Naga tribe will be the hardest hit race.

The previous two demonic attacks had no effect on them, but no one could survive the Holy One's catastrophe alone. This time, the impact might have to be borne by the Naga clan themselves.

………………

city ​​of fortune.

In a hidden tavern, the ugly monkey stared at the subordinates in front of him, and said slowly: "Are you sure you snatched this information from the shadow thief?"

In front of him was a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression, dressed in a capable manner, and said in a deep voice, "Sure."

"The subordinates have already sent someone to investigate."

"It is true that many members of the Shadow Thief have been found. However, the internal security is so strict that we have no way to infiltrate it yet."

A trace of excitement appeared on Ugly Monkey's face when he heard the words, and said slowly: "Finally found these guys who hide their heads and show their tails."

"Leave and send people to rule the temple."

"Let them send assassins over! Maybe we can find the shadow thief's lair this time."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes. I'll do it now."

When the person in front of him left, the ugly monkey's expression gradually calmed down. He murmured: "If I can knock down the Shadow Thief's branch this time, then I will have made a great contribution."

"Maybe my lord Sauron will bestow some rewards!"

Thinking of this, Ugly Monkey's eyes suddenly became hot. As a professional who is close to the legendary field, he doesn't want much.

He hoped that he could take one step closer, and it would be best to obtain the bestowal of divinity and divine power.

Because the ugly monkey hopes that if he dies in battle in the future. You can obtain the status of [Servant of the Other World] in Sauron's divine kingdom.

………………

after one day.

Sauron returned to Modo City, and the high priest has brought back some gray dwarves, which is undoubtedly good news. Because this means that Modo City already has its own ability to produce military equipment.

City Lord's Mansion.

After Sauron returned to Modo City, he saw Gloria immediately.

However, what surprised him a little was that in the past, Gloria spent most of her time in the laboratory of the shadow plane, but this time she was quite leisurely processing the business documents of Modo City in the hall, next to the A cup of black tea from an oriental country.

"Huh."

Sauron glanced at the Northland Witch in front of him. Then he walked behind her and prepared to embrace her, and said slowly: "How is the progress of the floating tower? Why do you have time to sit here and drink tea today?"

Gloria turned her head and glanced at Sauron, with a quirky smile on her lips, and said softly, "Guess."

Beauty in arms.

Sauron had just embraced Gloria in his arms, and immediately felt something was wrong. Surprised: "This!...This is!...No wonder!...No wonder!..."

It feels a little different.

Although there seemed to be no difference at all, Sauron immediately noticed something was wrong after close contact.

This is not Gloria!

In other words, this is not Goliath's real body.

"Simulation!?"

Sauron raised his head in surprise, and looked at Gloria who was blushing in front of him. He stretched his hand directly under her long skirt, and then kept groping. The more he touched his expression, the more surprised he became, and he murmured, "It's so amazing!"

"It feels so real!"

Gloria's breathing was a little short, her beautiful face was already blushing, and she whispered: "Simulation itself is a spell similar to [True Mirror Image]. So the avatar created is physical."

With a twist of his fingertips, Sauron had already touched the soft and tall plumpness from the hem of the skirt. After flicking it a few times, he saw Goliath making a delicate panting sound.

He was full of disbelief at the moment, and whispered: "Even this feeling can be simulated? It seems that I have underestimated the role of simulacrum!"

This is simply the incarnation of the gods!

The effect of simulacrum is much stronger than that of projection, and the two effects are not at the same level at all.

"How much magic ability is retained?"

Sauron didn't take back his hand, but continued to play with the two balls of white grease, and said, "The magic equipment worn on the body should not be imitated, right?"

Gloria's breathing became more and more rapid, she shook her head slightly and said, "Magic items are not acceptable."

"However, 80% of the spellcasting ability is retained. The avatar I created can cast up to eight-ring spells."

"but."

"The spells that can be cast can only be those that my body remembers."

Already very good.

Sauron fell into deep thought after listening, as if he was thinking about the other magical uses of the ability brought by the simulacrum.

………………

at the same time.

In the experiment on the plane of shadow.

Goliath was working with the fallen witch on making a large floating ring, and suddenly Goliath's breathing became chaotic, and even the spell control fluctuated slightly.

All the witches present were legendary witches. Corinna, the fallen witch, immediately sensed the abnormality and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Why is your face a little red?"

Gloria glanced at her mother with some guilt, and then said: "Sauron is back. I was talking to him just now, and I was a little distracted."

The fallen witch seemed to have thought of something, she glanced at her daughter meaningfully, and then whispered, "Don't be distracted."

"If the production of this large floating ring fails, it may take a long time."

"What new tricks you young people want to play, you should wait until you have time to try it out at night when you are resting!"

Gloria blushed immediately upon hearing this.

She opened her mouth to explain something, but found that there was no way to explain it. The more she explained, the darker it became. She simply canceled the effect of the simulacrum.

………………

City Lord's Mansion.

Sauron was still hugging Goliath who was studying the difference between the avatars created by simulacrum just now. After touching for a while, he found that almost all aspects were exactly the same, and there was no change in size or curve. But just when he stretched out two fingers to explore whether there was any change in his heart, Gloria in his arms suddenly dissipated with the wind, turning into magical energy and disappearing in front of him.

The effect of simulacrum is removed.

I don't know if it was Gloria's initiative to cancel the effect of the spell, or the duration of the spell has expired.

Sauron didn't care too much.

Anyway, this kind of thing can be studied slowly. It is difficult for ordinary people to focus on two tasks, but it is easy for Sauron.

He has a demon incarnate himself.

If he successfully mastered the 'Simulation Technique', then he could control three clones at the same time.

The demon incarnation probably has 70% of his strength, and the simulacra technique can retain up to 80% of his strength, as long as Sauron's spirit can control it, plus the strength of the body is simply a report on combat effectiveness!

One person can gang up on others.

………………

"My lord!"

A middle-aged priest wearing an archbishop's robe walked in. He saluted Sauron respectfully, and then said, "The stalkers have discovered the shadow thief organization."

"If you can follow the vine, maybe you can find their lair."

Sauron was shocked when he heard the words, and said, "Very good."

"Send more people there immediately."

"Let the temple mobilize a group of high-ranking priests to assist them! Let me know immediately if you find any news related to the Lord of Shadows."

The middle-aged pastor bowed and left.

Sauron stood there and pondered for a moment, then sent out two magical messages: "I have found clues to the Lord of Shadows."

"Get ready for battle."

There were two magic messages, one was sent to the eldest princess, and the other was naturally sent to [God Ascendant]-Eugene.

Only these two are qualified to fight against the Lord of Shadows!

(PS: It’s still a two-in-one chapter. The wonderful use of simulacra was originally included in the book, but it’s gone now. Let me explain it first, and I’ll write it later when I have time.) (To be continued ~^~)
