Chapter 39: Exchange and Freedom

Sauron's figure instantly appeared inside the Star Fortress.

The coercion belonging to the gods enveloped all the githyanki. Since the birth of the multiverse, the gods have always been above all things, whether it is the Mind Flayer Empire, the Thorium Age, or the Arcane Age. It is also possible to develop the power to a certain extreme, once entering the peak period of the multiverse, but in the end it is still impossible to truly compete with the gods. As a sequela of the mind flayer empire, although the birth of the githyanki avoided the gods, they were only mortals after all.

"Respected Lord of Shadows!"

"We didn't mean to offend Your Excellency!...We...we didn't know that Your Excellency was here...don't know..."

The leader of the githyankis appeared in front of Sauron. Facing a god with medium divine power, especially when the astral fortress had been blocked, he finally gave up resistance completely and stammered: "We are not It was intentionally offensive!..."

"please……"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sauron. He waved his finger lightly, and with the brilliance of the spell, a psionic warrior hiding in a corner trying to sneak attack was killed on the spot.

Finger of death.

With Sauron's current spellcasting ability, it is almost difficult for mortals to exempt from the instant death spells he casts.

The psionic warrior of the githyanki quickly lost all his life, and the power of the spell took his soul, leaving only a pale body.

"You live by plundering. When robbing others, you should have already been prepared to be plundered?"

Sauron's attitude was very cold, without the slightest mercy, and the other githyanki immediately felt a trace of despair after hearing his words. Not everyone would challenge a true god head-on, even the god-climber-Eugene Such an existence, so far, has challenged the lesser demon lord head-on, and the fight against the Lord of Shadows is because Sauron acted together. In addition, Eugene has never challenged any god, even a god with weak divine power.

Although the Githyanki do not believe in gods, they know how terrible any true god is!

Not to mention Sauron with medium divine power.

It was easy to recognize Sauron's presence, because the power of shadow had enveloped the entire fortress.

"Now you are all my captives and slaves."

"Everything you have is my spoils, and I have the right to dispose of your life and death at will!"

"certainly."

"This is also according to your practice, and belongs to the rules of the star world!"

Speaking of this, a playful smile appeared on the corner of Sauron's mouth. The Githyanki are a relatively cruel race. Because of their experience of being enslaved by mind flayers, they are also very cruel to other races.

Killing and looting is only part of it.

Because of their history of being brutally enslaved, the Githyanki like to use psionic energy to control and enslave the minds of other races. They are a group of robbers wandering in the astral world.

Sauron is the deity of the lawful camp.

So he would not carry out meaningless killings. After the power of the shadow priesthood enveloped the entire fortress, he decided to treat them according to the laws of the astral world and the githyanki's own style, turning them all into his slaves.

Since he is a slave, he has full control over life and death.

"You can try to resist!"

"I know that you are good at treating rebellious slaves!...But!...I will also treat those who try to resist in the same way as you!..."

Sauron's calm voice spread throughout the fortress, and the battle on the floating tower had already stopped.

The githyanki dared not act rashly.

Because any of their actions may lead to Sauron's ruthless killing. Sometimes the evil gods will reason with you, but those are their reasons. You can only choose to obey or die.

Sauron will not forgive them.

Before the githyanki launched a plundering attack, they should have prepared for failure. Pity was meaningless, and resistance could only bring Sauron some killing experience.

"So."

"Now move the fortress closer to the floating island."

Sauron stared at the sweaty githyanki leader. As a warlord under the queen, this leader possessed the power of a high-level legend, but he was like an ordinary person when facing the pressure of Sauron's gods. It is the most fundamental gap between gods and mortals. Sauron blocked all teleportation spells with the divine power of changing space, and these githyanki can't even escape now.

and.

If Sauron casts a shock wave of group divine power head-on, the result is very likely to be corpses everywhere.

The huge astral fortress began to move.

Soon, the figures of Gloria and the fallen witch also appeared in the fortress. Gloria's expression was a little shocked at the moment. Although she knew that Sauron's power after conferring the gods had surpassed her, but when she really saw him so easily When she suppressed a group of githyanki, she was still unavoidably shocked.

This is the power of the gods!

Even in the most glorious period of the arcane empire, the power gathered by the entire arcane civilization is just to compete with the gods.

A sense of distance made her feel pressured.

Because when she first met Sauron, he was just an inconspicuous thief, but now he needs to look up at his back.

Iron golems began to enter the interior of the fortress.

Groups of githyanki were escorted into the floating tower. There were more than 5,000 githyanki in this group, and nearly half of them belonged to combatants. The entire githyanki group is scattered like this. The one standing at the highest position is the githyanki queen, something close to an undead creature. Down below are many leaders who look like warlords, controlling their respective astral fortresses. Constantly live by plundering other races.

The leader of the githyanki watched as the iron golem escorted his people together like slaves.

He is very much like resisting Sauron, but he knows that this will only bring about the destruction of the ethnic group. He is constantly trying to call on the allies of the Githyanki, which is the [Red Dragon Covenant] in mortal legends. Basically any githyanki astral fortress has at least one adult red dragon as an ally. The star fortress in front of us has three adult red dragons as allies. When they encounter powerful enemies, the leader can use the power of the covenant to summon them to assist, and the wealth obtained from the looting will also be shared with the evil red dragons.

There was no response from the Covenant.

Even though the leader of the githyanki kept calling, but so far no red dragon has answered his call.

This group of evil and cunning dragons betrayed the ancient covenant. After discovering that the enemy was a god, and a god with medium divine power, none of the three red dragons who signed the covenant chose to help them fight.

Because coming here is just to die.

………………

Sauron is also waiting.

In fact, he has been resisting himself at the leader of the githyanki people. This astral fortress is not very big, so there is very little space for a red dragon to move around. This means that the red dragon covenant of this ethnic group exists as a contract, rather than directly raising the red dragon in it. He is waiting for the other party to summon the red dragon to appear. A githyanki fortress certainly has a lot of wealth, but if If you can slay the dragon by the way, then it is naturally a good thing.

There are fewer and fewer dragons in the material plane!

Most of the Dragon Clan live in Dragon Island and Dragon Country, even the gods can easily enter, because that is the territory of Dragon God.

If the opponent's leader can summon a few red dragons, Sauron must be able to make another fortune. Unfortunately, it seems that the cunning Red Dragon knew about Sauron's existence. After waiting for such a long time, he didn't see any sign of resistance.

The Red Dragon Covenant cannot summon allies to assist.

The leader of the githyanki gave up the resistance out of desperation, and Sauron's plan seemed to have failed. It should be related to his early exposure of the power of the godhead, all these red dragons were too frightened to come.

Although these Githyanki were captured, how to deal with them was also a problem.

This race is born with psionic powers, and as slaves, they must be controlled by very powerful creatures, such as natural high-level species like mind flayers.

The high priest should have a solution.

But before branding them as slaves, I'm afraid they have to prepare some shackles to seal their strength.

"The Great Lord of Shadows!"

After confirming that the Red Dragon Covenant had expired, the leader of the githyanki finally completely gave up the hope of resisting Sauron, but he still didn't want his people to lose their freedom, so he walked in front of Sauron with a depressed mood. , bowed his head humbly and said: "It is our fault to offend the great you!"

"According to the rules of the star realm, as losers, we should be your captives."

"but."

"I hope to make a deal with you in exchange for the freedom of the tribe."

Sauron laughed when he heard the words, and slowly said: "You are my captives now, and everything in the entire fortress belongs to my spoils of war."

"I'm curious about what else you can trade with me?"

The leader of the Githyanki said in a deep voice, "Yes."

"I have another message."

"I believe your Excellency will be very interested in it, and I hope to exchange it for the freedom of the people."

Sauron frowned when he heard this, and said slowly: "What news?"

The leader of the Githyanki looked at Sauron with firm eyes, and said in a deep voice, "The corpse of the ancient god floating in the star world."

"I hope to use a floating corpse of an ancient god in exchange for the freedom of the people."

"We Githyanki have been wandering in the star world all our lives, and only we know where the corpses of some ancient gods are! If you are willing to give my people freedom, I am willing to tell you the location of an ancient god's corpse. "

"If you don't want to."

"Then even if you kill me and torture my soul, it is impossible to get any news."

"The hearts and souls of the githyanki have been tested by mind flayers, and I believe Your Excellency should know of a corpse of an ancient god and a troop of puny slaves."

"Which one is more important!"
