The New Year is getting closer and closer.
But this year seems destined not to be too peaceful. Under the continuous disasters, the entire southern region does not feel any joyful news. An adult red dragon appeared near the White Horse City. Although Sauron had known for a long time that there was a dragon there, it was an ancient red dragon, but no one else discovered its existence until now. The dragon caused great confusion, attracting many adventurers who tried to slay the dragon, and at the same time threatened that the surrounding cities had to strengthen their defenses.
Red dragons are evil beings.
The bureaucrats and nobles took advantage of the existence of this dragon to increase taxes, and used the excuse of preventing the red dragon from attacking to collect money wantonly. They could always find various excuses to collect additional taxes. The half-orc migration seems to have occurred in the south near the mountains, because the antagonism of the races has made the conflicts in this area more inspiring, and it seems that war may break out at any time.
There is very little information about the desert area.
However, it seems that the commercial route to the east has been cut off by someone, and it seems that the chaos in the desert area is also spreading. No new cities were destroyed, but more turmoil was still fermenting. There seemed to be traces of demon believers in the north of the city of wealth. The demons had just been cleaned up, and the demagogic demons seemed to have begun to appear. Cultists of evil gods appear more and more frequently, and there are more strange faces in almost every city. It seems that the court of the elves has also been classified, and there is a fierce dispute between the ancient tree teachings of the druids and the teachings of the gods.
There are rumors that some high-ranking druids who believed in the tree of life left, and even the legendary 'earth walker' felt a little dissatisfied with the Elven Royal Court.
Tree Shepherds are on the side of the divisive druids.
As balancers and defenders of nature, their beliefs are more inclined to the tree of life than to the elves. Druids have always been the middle force of the elves. Although the talents of the elves are also very good among other spellcasters, no spellcasting professional has more than druids. This matter is still brewing, and the conflict is still escalating. If there is no powerful force to intervene, it is very likely to lead to a split within the elves. Druids will split from the elves, abandon the belief in the elves and gods, and turn to the oldest tree of life.
This teaching has the support of a large number of outside druids, and it is also widely spread among other races.
They call it [Druid's Revival]!
Among the races of humans, half-elves, orcs, half-orcs, etc., all wandering druids inspired by nature seem to be very supportive of restoring the oldest belief in the tree of life. This caused the entire druid order in the world to begin to shift, and more than 60% of the druids transferred their beliefs to the tree of life. The influence of the elf pantheon in druids has been greatly reduced, and the various druid sects seem to be plotting and preparing for something.
The power of the elf gods has declined!
Their power had waned before the Year of Trouble began. This seems to be something that a being is very happy to see, and she has waited thousands of years for such an opportunity.
The Spider Queen is weaving her web, and she's waiting for her first prey!
…
In the dark canyon.
A tall and tall figure with a handsome face is advancing. He is wearing a noble robe and playing with a fife in his hand. In this very eerie canyon, he is advancing leisurely like a stroll in a garden. A strange sound came, which seemed a little sharp and harsh. He listened carefully, and then raised his hand to summon a piece of light. A dense shadow appeared in front of his eyes, which were palm-sized vampire bats. There were so many of them that they almost covered the dark canyon.
Hurrah!
A gust of wind came, and the overwhelming vampire bats flew up. They had sharp fangs and dark red wings. There were probably hundreds of thousands of them. After flying up, they almost covered the sky in the canyon. So many vampire bats are dangerous even for legendary professionals, but the person in front of him is not worried at all. He gently picked up the flute and blew it, and it was like a note from hell. Pieces of vampire bats were black and dense. When they landed on the ground, traces of blood spilled from their eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
"Papa papa!"
After a burst of applause, the vampire god in an exquisite dress appeared. He stared at the man in front of him and smiled, "As expected of the legendary hell poet! How dare you come here alone to find me!"
hell poet.
A name that is taboo in many places.
The man's face didn't seem to be the one in front of him. He glanced at Reinhardt indifferently, and said slowly: "God of vampires? Is this the only trick you have after you become a god? It seems that your life is going well." How bad it is! I seem to have heard that you were chased and killed by a group of people like a lost dog!"
The corners of Reinhardt's mouth twitched, but there was still an elegant smile on his face, and he said slowly: "This is only temporary. After becoming a god, I have seen a wider world. An unprecedented opportunity is coming, just grab it If I take this opportunity, I will be able to stand on the top of the gods, and no one can stop me from ascending the throne at that time!"
The hell poet smiled, his face was a little playful, and he said, "Really? Then you have to escape from my hands first."
Reinhardt frowned and glanced at him, and said slowly: "Are you really going to fight? Why are you on their side? What they can give you, I can give you, and I am even willing to share everything with you .”
The hell poet showed a mocking smile, and said softly: "What you see is just the tip of the iceberg of the world. Even if you want to cooperate with me, you have to show your value. A weak god like you in the pantheon is Countless!"
The figure of the other party disappeared strangely.
Like an invisible sound wave spreading, nearby vampire bats fell to the ground and died one by one.
…
Viper Island.
Sauron stood on the pier overlooking everything. In just three days, he had recruited hundreds of pirates, and now his men had reached more than 300 people. Adele's heroic figure stood at the bow, next to the first officer promoted by Sauron. Now that she had enough strength, it was time to clean up other enemies. Pirates do not need to be trained or cultivated. This is a survival of the fittest profession. The strong will survive and the weak will be eliminated.
"Set off!"
Sauron lightly landed on the head of the killer whale. Facing the awe-filled gazes of the other pirates, there was only a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
Because he heard a bad news.
It seemed that the rumor of the Throat Cutter had more influence than he expected, even alarming one of the Pirate Kings who ruled around the south coast.
Pirate King 'Lord of the Mire'!
It is not a human being, but a hybrid of a mud giant and a lizard man. The life wisdom of giants has never been high, but this pirate king is an exception. The chance of cross-race breeding is very low. It is said that it was born because of some forbidden spells. Lizardmen are amphibious creatures, and they can move on land as well as in water. The Mire King is one of the pirate kings that rule near the south coast. Its pirates include humans, lizardmen, murlocs, hybrid creatures and so on.
Its grip on the south coast would have been stronger if it hadn't been for the exclusion of racial blood.
The three major pirate kings belong to each other.
Among them, the Amazon's Pirate King stands behind the Church of the Storm, and she is the Pirate King who believes in the Lord of Storms. Another pirate king with half Amazon blood is a non-human creature. He has the support of the Naga Sea tribe and believes in the goddess of the sea. The last Pirate King is the 'King of the Mire'. It does not believe in any of the gods above, but gives its faith to the demon god in the abyss.
That is the ancient demon [Dagon], the king of the deep sea!
There is a written record of the doctrine as follows - "In the world of mortals, the cult of Dagon prevailed in the coastal areas, and his human followers or worshipers of mire giants (tide giants, etc.) mated with half-fish creatures to defile In exchange for their own blood, the demon lords gave them great power, rich catches and strange treasures."
Yes.
The Swamp King is a monster born for some reason, in exchange for the power bestowed by the abyss lord 'Dagon' at the cost of polluting his own bloodline. However, an accident occurred in this ceremony. The person in charge of the ceremony did not please the evil abyss lord. It did not gain much power. On the contrary, it produced an unexpected offspring during the blasphemy ceremony, which is now the "Swamp" King', it has obtained the power bestowed by the abyss lord 'Dagon'.
so.
A monster was born that was a mixture of Lizardmen and Mire Giants.
Not only does it possess great power, but it also possesses demonic wisdom. Although this wisdom seems a bit crazy, it has become one of the three pirate kings on the south coast.
The Pirate Lord controls the waters of the south coast near the deep sea.
Its lair is said to be in a place called Alcatraz, and only the most vicious pirates will defect to it.
It is also the only pirate king who does not play cards according to common sense!
Although the Pirate Kings possess great influence and power, they are still inextricably linked with the church, and almost all act for their own interests and situation. The only one who likes to mess around is the Mire King. If he is dissatisfied with the resurgence of a powerful pirate on the south coast and attacks Sauron, then Sauron really doesn't have much confidence in defeating him.
He needs Vivian's strength!
Although Sauron could seek help from the Ocean God Temple, getting it also meant giving, not to mention that the priest Naga told him the news.
Sauron still remembers the meaningful expression on the other party's face when he told this information!
