Chapter 59: The Eve of the Great War!
A dark red in the turbid sea water.
There are still a lot of dead fish floating on the nearby sea, basically all of them were poisoned to death, and the corpses of the Naga clan can be seen further away. In addition, there are many very ferocious devil fish. Obviously, there has just been a big war here, but the two sides in the war are not the races on land, but the Naga tribe and other marine creatures that live in the ocean. Many of them are marine creatures that are rarely seen in the material plane, including deep-sea lurkers that can only be seen in the abyss.
"A follower of Dagon."
A half-elf of a priest looked at the sea with a serious expression, and then said to the followers behind him: "Send the news back to Modo City immediately, it seems that the Ocean Temple has already started a war with the demon lord Dagon!"
The battle of the deep sea has broken out.
After accumulating power for so long, the abyss lord-Dagon finally couldn't bear to challenge the sea goddess.
He himself is the Orbis demon who rules the deep sea. He wants to seize the authority of the ocean in the material plane. The sea goddess is an enemy that Dagon cannot avoid. It can be said that it is difficult to extend his tentacles without completely defeating the sea goddess Dagon. into the material plane.
………………
Overseas Islands, Modo City.
As March draws to a close, the impact of the Holy One's catastrophe strikes again.
Sauron frowned and looked at the information sent back in front of him, and murmured: "Has it really started? Then I'm afraid I have to prepare to deal with the Lord of Shadows."
There is a lot of information sent.
First of all, the orcs finally went to war with the grassland elves, and they still won a big victory, seizing a large area of land in one fell swoop. The prairie elves are now forced to migrate to the forest area. It is said that the wood elves are very dissatisfied with the orcs instigating the war. On the other side, the sea goddess is fighting the demon lord Dagon, and the Naga tribe has confirmed that there has been a serious conflict with the devil fish. There should be a huge portal connected to the Abyss somewhere in the deep sea, because many devil fish come from the shadow sea on the 89th floor of the Abyss.
This kind of thing must still be a headache for the Naga tribe and the Ocean Church. At most, Sauron would help them wave their flags.
The struggle at the bottom of the sea will not affect the pattern of the Material Plane.
certainly.
The most important news right now is related to the Lord of Shadows.
The reason why Sauron felt that it was almost time to do something was because of the recent changes in the church to which another god belonged.
Lord of Radiance.
The Church of the Lord of Radiance has been mobilizing frequently recently, and there is a faint plan to go to war with Lady Evernight's church.
A powerful deity of a good alignment.
A mighty divine power of an evil alignment.
And there is prejudice against each other, new and old hatreds have been accumulated for many years, if the Lord of Radiance is really planning to attack Lady Evernight, then Sauron's last worry will be gone. Basically, he no longer has to worry about Lady Evernight in the short term. Because facing a god like the Lord of Radiance, I am afraid that Ms. Evernight will have a headache and die.
This is the perfect time!
The current attention of the Spider God Empress is all on the elf god system, and she will not shift her attention to other gods until she cleans up the most hated elf god system.
Ms. Evernight is now being fronted by the Lord of Radiance, so it is impossible for her to have the energy to pay attention to the Lord of Shadows.
If Sauron does it now, he doesn't have to worry about encountering powerful enemies to intervene and pick peaches. Of course, one of the more important reasons is that it is said that there are traces of Lady Luck in the northern part of the mainland.
Lady Fortune and Lady Luck.
The two Destiny Twins who were beyond the gods finally showed up. Their struggle will touch the nerves of many gods, because the holy catastrophe itself is a torrent of fate.
Things are on track in Modo City.
Negotiations and cooperation with the Northland Witch Council are progressing slowly, and the Wizards Union also needs to discuss with the archmages of the council. Modo City's request is not low, and they may not be able to agree in a short time.
There is Gloria and the Fallen Witch. Sauron didn't have to worry about his rear being unstable at all.
Before the devils could make a formal move, he felt that he still needed to find an opportunity to improve his strength!
If he could advance to [Medium Divine Power], Sauron would basically not have to feel guilty even in the face of veteran gods. And if the Lord of Shadows is successfully killed, then Sauron's plan to establish his own god system will also begin to lay out.
A pantheon.
[Half Elf] must be separated from the main priesthood after obtaining the [Shadow] priesthood. Sauron has more long-term arrangements for these things.
………………
A hidden basement.
Uhtred hurried in in various forms, and behind him were three wanderers with grim expressions. It looks like a specially trained assassin.
"My lord bishop."
A cold female voice appeared in the darkness. Although a beautiful woman appeared with a hideous scar on the side of her face, she said slowly, "The recent movements in Modo City are abnormal. I'm worried that our whereabouts have been exposed."
exposed?
Uhtred couldn't help but look ugly when he thought of this. Slowly said: "What about the news inside the church? Haven't the shadow church's support been sent yet?"
Damn Modo City!
God knows that this opponent is so difficult to deal with. Originally, the Lord of Shadows is a medium-level divine power, while Sauron is only a weak-level divine power. One church has developed for thousands of years, and the other church has only recently been established.
At the very beginning of the operation, Uhtred thought it was just an entertainment to hang and beat children.
But after the actual battle, he realized that the enemy was much more difficult than he had imagined.
Sauron is the new god, that's right.
But after all, he inherited the original half-elf church, and he almost emptied the heritage of Fallen Leaf City. The foundation of the entire Fallen Leaf City has been absorbed by Modo City, and the power within the church is actually stronger than the outside world imagined.
More importantly, Sauron still has secular power.
Most of the churches of the gods are independent of the secular world, that is, the Lord of Shadows does not control any kingdoms, but only develops the churches through his own influence on the material plane, and at best secretly controls some cities through shadow thieves. But these cities can't compete with Modo City. Sauron can mobilize tens of thousands of fighters with a wave of his hand, but the entire Shadow Church can't pull out even one-tenth of Modo City's fighters.
If it is about believers, the Lord of Shadows is definitely much more than Sauron!
But believers are not equal to fighting power. In the entire Shadow Church, only professionals can fight, and they must be devout believers. Those with pan-belief may not be able to work hard.
But Modo City did not have such worries, because all the troops in Modo City obeyed Sauron's orders.
In the beginning, it was undoubtedly the Lord of Shadows who had the obvious advantage, but after the battle broke out in the Shipwreck Bay, the situation had completely turned upside down.
There is an endless stream of professionals sent by Modo City to fight the Shadow Thief and the Shadow Church!
Some were not believers of the Church at all, but those long-established pirates, and the battle began to be unfavorable to the Church of Shadows after entering the tug-of-war.
Because the Shadow Church is facing the interest groups of the entire Modo Island!
"Is there an oracle from my lord?"
Uhtred was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Where are the Shadow Thief's troops? Why haven't they arrived yet!"
The woman standing in front of him shook her head.
Suddenly, there was a strange noise outside, and there was a muffled hum. The next moment, Utred's face changed drastically, and he panicked: "The situation is wrong!"
"There are enemies!"
As soon as his words fell, there was the sound of fighting outside the basement door, and Utred rushed out almost immediately. This is a sealed basement, and there is no place to run if you are surrounded inside.
Uhtred rushed out quickly.
But before he could make a move, a dagger pierced through the back of his heart.
"Esther?! You!..."
The woman with the scar on her side face withdrew her weapon indifferently. After a cold look, she slowly dispelled the spell on her body, and said ironically, "I'm not some Esther!..."
Her appearance gradually changed.
The obvious feature is that his height has increased a lot all of a sudden, then his brows have become much more delicate and cold, and finally his ears have become slightly sharper.
Half-elf!
Advanced Transfiguration!
The half-elf assassin named Yser cut Uhtred's throat with a wave of his hand, and then said slowly, "The Yser you're talking about is already dead."
"It's not like this, I really can't find your secret stronghold!"
Northland Witch Council.
At the last moment of his life, Uhtred's mind suddenly understood.
Such an exquisite shape-shifting technique is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people. There is the Northland Witch Council behind Modo City, and only high-ranking members of the Northland Witch Council can intervene to transform her into Esther's appearance. And he has never been aware of it.
wizard!
Damn wizard!
Although there are wizards in the Church of Shadows, there is no way to compare with this old witch power. Most of them are rogues, then priests who serve the gods, and finally shadow wizards who have changed jobs.
Life fades away.
The woman transformed into Iser glanced indifferently at the corpse on the ground, and then her figure disappeared into the darkness. Today's battle has not been touched yet, and they have already found the Lord of Shadows.
There will be a decisive battle next, which will determine the pattern of wanderers in the material plane for thousands of years to come!
Lord of Shadows, Church of Shadows, Shadow Thief.
Sauron, Half-Elf Church, Modo City.
If Sauron can defeat the Lord of Shadows, then there will be a true god who combines the priesthood of [Wanderer] and the priesthood of [Shadow] within the rogue.
From now on, all forces related to rogues will be brought under Sauron's command.
same.
If the Lord of Shadows defeats Sauron, then his power will also be greatly improved! The battle between the two sides is doomed, that is, from now on, the rogue and the shadow priesthood must be integrated!
