Chapter 209 Frost Floating Island (4k)
Eight years have passed since the Crimson Mother and the Dark Frost Giant Lord came to Tal to fight.
In the past eight years, with the medium-sized Abyss Gate operating at full capacity, the total number of demons that came to Tal has reached nearly 10 billion.
To be precise, the area invaded by the demons should be the main continent of Tal and some shallow sea areas.
The deep sea and the islands of all sizes above the deep sea are still as peaceful as before.
The only change is that the actions of the deep sea have become more frequent than before the demon invasion, and the target has also changed.
Originally, the three major overlord empires of the deep sea often fought wars, intending to consume more and more creatures in the deep sea, but with the invasion of demons, the breath of the abyss began to pollute Tal, and the three major overlord empires of the deep sea could not sit still.
How could they bear that their beautiful homeland was about to be polluted into a garbage dump bit by bit?
It was unbearable!
Therefore, the three deep-sea emperors, the Mermaid Queen, the Sea Man Emperor, and the Naga Queen, met and finally united their front and made a decision:
The three sea empires will no longer have internal friction and fighting before the demons are expelled. At the same time, each empire will be responsible for an area and clear out the demons in it.
In fact, the best way to eradicate the invasion of demons is to destroy the Gate of the Abyss.
But the three deep-sea emperors automatically ignored this point.
Because the Dark Frost Giant Lord has been sitting at the Gate of the Abyss.
With its fierce fighting power in chasing the Crimson Mother, the three sea tribes have only one way to destroy the Gate of the Abyss:
Contact the gods (quasi-gods, gods) they believe in, or send down the incarnation of divine power, or send down the messenger of gods.
But gods are not the existence that believers can call and shout, nor are they the existence that you can summon when you encounter difficulties.
Or to be more precise, gods need you to suffer.
In this way, the power of devout faith will be born.
The messy pan-beliefs are basically garbage and poison to the gods, and it is difficult to use them. Only the power of devout faith can play some wonderful roles for the gods.
This is why the Tal plane, as a territory ruled by the deep-sea gods, still has other races, instead of letting the deep sea flood the continent and make Tal a deep-sea world.
This is the tacit understanding between the gods of the astral world.
When there is no external pressure, when the believers are singing and dancing, carefree, how can the gods harvest faith?
Billions of pan-believers are not as effective as 100,000 fanatics for the gods!
Just like the racial god of the dog-headed people, 'Kurtumark', this great existence with medium divine power.
Kurtumark, the god, is very famous in the astral world.
Because he likes to descend and incarnate in the material plane, granting knowledge to those wild dog-headed tribes, so that they can rise from suffering and oppression.
He is not a god, and Kurtumark's behavior is just considered to be very affectionate to his own race.
However, other great beings who are gods naturally know that Kurtumark's behavior is for his own benefit.
When the dog-headed people who are suffering and oppressed get the guidance of the incarnation of the power of their own race in despair, what will be the result?
Fanaticism, incomparable fanaticism.
Kurtumark can reach the middle level of divine power, not only relying on the dog-headed people all over the material plane of the astral world, but more importantly, he has a huge number of fanatics and a large number of saints who are extremely devout in faith, sublimated in soul, and never fade!
If the potential and strength of these dog-headed believers were not generally too weak, Kurtumark could have reached the first level of powerful divine power.
Of course, having said that, if the dog-headed people were as powerful as giants and dragons, they would not have encountered so many sufferings, and naturally there would not be so many fanatics and saints.
Weakness will bring more suffering, and it is easier to give birth to devout faith.
Power can provide more faith power for gods, but it is not easy to give birth to devout faith.
This can be seen from the power levels of the gods of various races.
The two most famous gods of the dragon race, Tiamat and Bahamut, are only weak in power.
Among the gods of the elves, there are a lot of gods with weak and medium power.
The gods of the human race are weak, weak, medium, and strong in number.
There are also a lot of medium gods of the dwarfs, and the main gods are even more powerful.
The southern area of the main continent of Tal.
Compared with the completely fallen northern and eastern regions, there are also the severely invaded western and central regions. The south is now the area on the main continent that suffers the least from demon invasion.
As for the reason?
Because the Black Nest is here.
In the early years, that is, the first one or two years of the demon invasion, the Black Nest was not conspicuous in the entire continent, let alone in the south.
But as time passed, as the Black Nest continued to dispatch troops to clear out demons with the Dark Forest as the center, the territory occupied by the Black Nest began to grow larger and larger.
It was not until three years ago, when the territory occupied by the Black Nest exceeded 50 million square kilometers, that the demons of the Eternal Night and Winter Plane and the major forces that were still lingering on the continent turned their attention to the Black Nest.
50 million square kilometers is not actually a large area. After all, the total area of the continent exceeds 100 billion square kilometers. The problem is that the 50 million square kilometers of territory occupied by the Black Nest is a well-developed land suitable for most creatures to live in.
Just like the northern region of the continent, it is always covered by extreme cold storms. The further north you go, the more terrifying the storms are. In some areas in the northernmost part, only top creatures can survive, so the number of creatures there is pitifully small.
In the entire vast northern region, the only intelligent groups that gather together in larger numbers are barbarians, frost elves, frost giants, white dragons, high-level ice monster groups, and ice elements. Other than that, they are basically very small and rare groups.
The eastern region of the continent is also a large area of ancient forests with poisonous miasma. Except for green dragons, black dragons and highly poisonous creatures, other normal creatures can't survive in that environment.
In the southern part of the continent, more than 90% of the area is also covered by ancient forests with poisonous miasma, and the environment is extremely harsh.
Only in the central part of the continent, after a long period of development and the development of various races, many areas have become habitable places.
Various elves, dwarves, humans, monsters, goblins and other races have lived and multiplied here for generations.
Because most races thrive in the central region, more than 70% of the intelligent creatures on the continent gather here.
In the south, at the border of the Dark Forest, extending more than 2,000 kilometers to the northwest, fortresses stand like large and small mounds of earth protruding from the ground.
As the vision zooms in, we can see that the smallest of these fortresses is more than ten meters high and covers hundreds of square meters, while the slightly larger ones are tens of meters high and cover more than ten thousand square meters.
The land outside the fortress is dark red, and although it is a bright noon with the scorching sun, the dark red land is covered with traces of frost.
Occasionally, you can see pieces of land with evil black gas, scorched flames, rotten mud, etc.
Around the fortress, tall Black Nest warriors are busy.
In the outer areas, in the sky, groups of Void Angels flap their wings and patrol everywhere.
On the ground, groups of Void Jackals with a physique of three meters are also patrolling in groups.
And a hundred kilometers away from here, corresponding to these large and small fortresses, bunkers built by the power of ice are also scattered all over the land. At a glance, there are tens of thousands of ice bunkers.
Each ice bunker has a large number of ice attribute demons from the Abyss Eternal Night Winter Plane.
Most of these demons are sleeping, as if waiting for an opportunity to wake up.
Suddenly, a frost wind blew from afar, and the demon commander stationed here opened his soul blue eyes, and his figure flashed, appearing above the ice bunker camp.
As a legendary strongman, the vision of the ice demon commander allowed him to see the vast demon army in the distance, like a tide.
In the sky and underground, there are all demons.
At a glance, a rough calculation, more than tens of millions?
I'm afraid there are hundreds of millions!
"I don't know which adult is coming this time." The ice demon thought secretly in his heart.
It has been guarding this place for nearly three years. With the death of several commanders before, their Frost City has been at war with the Black Nest for seven years.
Before, in the first few years, due to the daily transmission of the Abyss Gate, the number of demons that descended was not large. They could only occupy the eastern part of the continent first, and then continue to send troops to spread to all parts of the continent.
Later, as the number of descending demons increased, the demon invasion that swept the entire continent officially began.
At that time, most of the attention of the main force of the Frost City was attracted by the forces of the central continent. The number of demons sent to other places was not only small, but also not many strong ones.
So the demon army that invaded the southern region was blocked and resisted by the Black Nest. The main force and senior leaders of the demon army did not care, but only sent a few legendary demons and several elite demon legions to assist.
But not long after, the legendary demons and elite demon legions sent over were defeated, some died and some escaped.
The Ice Demon escaped. Since then, it no longer dared to lead the demons to invade the Dark Forest. Instead, it retreated here and waited for the orders and support from the major commanders of the Frost City.
And today, the support arrived.
In the pupils of the Ice Demon, the overwhelming demon army was reflected. Above the center of the demon army, a floating island like an iceberg flew here surrounded by countless demons.
The pupils of the Ice Demon shrank slightly, and he was a little unbelievable.
"Frost Island is here too?!"
Frost Island is a floating island created by the Dark Frost Giant Lord, that is, the Frost Lord, who spent a lot of resources to invite a high-level legendary spellcaster to spend a hundred years.
As an advanced version of the Mage Tower, the floating island has many and terrifying functions.
Although this is only a small floating island with a diameter of no more than 100 kilometers, if it is controlled by a legendary fifth-level strongman, the explosive power is even enough to suppress a high-level legendary strongman.
If the one who controls the floating island is a high-level legendary warrior, then he can easily suppress and kill high-level legendary warriors of the same level.
In Tal, the one who controls this frost island is the Dark Frost Giant Lord.
On the floating island, in a hall that looks only a few hundred meters high from the outside, but is thousands of meters high inside, the towering Dark Frost Giant Lord, who is a hundred meters tall, is sitting on the throne. Behind him is a medium-sized abyss gate that looks like a nebula, and the abyss gate is constantly swallowing up the demon army.
As soon as these demons teleported from the abyss appear, they will be teleported to the surrounding areas of the island by the power of the floating island.
Every moment, the number of demons surrounding the floating island is increasing.
To describe it in data points, it is roughly:
+100 demon soldiers
+121 demon soldiers
+104 demons.
Almost every few seconds, a hundred demon soldiers will be "refreshed".
In one minute, nearly two thousand demon soldiers are "refreshed", which is enough to form a small demon army.
This is only the transmission capacity of the medium-sized abyss gate. If it is a large, super-large, or giant abyss gate, the troops transmitted in an instant will be enough to submerge a city.
The dark frost giant lord "Thorne" seemed to see through the hall and see the distant black castle standing between the mountains.
"Lord Black Dragon?" Thorne showed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
Its appearance here at this time has already represented one thing-the central area where more than 70% of the creatures on the continent gather has been broken by the demon army.
This is not a surprise. If Thorn had not been waiting for the main continent to be infected by the abyss to a certain extent, if he had taken action himself, the Pan-Continental Alliance would have been completely defeated in less than a month.
The Crimson Mother and the ancient golden dragon that had just broken through the high-level legend have not appeared in recent years, and the sea clan is also weighing the interests, so the entire Tal is just a playground for the Dark Frost Giant Lord ‘Thorn’.
Unstoppable, invincible.
These two words are very suitable for the current Dark Frost Giant Lord.
The Frost Floating Island flew all the way, and the demon troops originally stationed in the bunker also joined the demon torrent following the floating island, advancing all the way without any disguise.
And this arrogant behavior was naturally discovered by the warriors and spellcasters responsible for patrolling and exploring the Black Nest at the first time.
Then report it layer by layer.
The news reached the ears of the strong men of the Black Nest. They knew the horror of the floating island and what it represented, so they did not hesitate to pass the news directly to the Black Dragon Lord.
At this time, Wu Di was still "creating" the fifth void race - "archer".
"The archer created with night elf materials doesn't seem to be very good."
In front of him, a meat monster with holes all over his body collapsed and died, and then turned into ashes.
Wu Di frowned and looked at this scene, sighing a little.
"Forget it, the night elves themselves have good archer talents, even if they are not transformed, they are still excellent. Let's try to transform them with other creatures as materials."
