It was cold and windy.
Sauron stared at the valley in front of him with a cold expression, his expression was unprecedentedly dignified.
A big battle is inevitable after all!
The enemy is dark and we are clear.
Since this period of time, Sauron has been expending a lot of energy to find the shadow church and the shadow thief's lair, and now his hard work has finally paid off, allowing him to find the enemy's stronghold.
This is an upright confrontation!
With such a cautious character of the Lord of Shadows, it was too difficult for Sauron to overshadow him.
Moreover, if the gods want to leave, ordinary people really have no way to stay. Therefore, the safest and most effective way that Sauron can choose is to have a decisive battle with the enemy!
The Lord of Shadows can run.
But the Shadow Church and the Shadow Thief organization couldn't escape, and Sauron was forcing the Lord of Shadows to confront him head-on.
Because if he avoids fighting this time, the influence of the Shadow Church in the material plane will be completely destroyed. If a god is wiped out even by others, it can basically be said that there is no hope of turning over in the catastrophe of the saints. I don't know how many people would want to beat the dog in the water, and overthrow the Lord of Shadows who has lost all his powers in one go. The same principle can also be applied to Sauron. If Modo City is destroyed, Sauron will be beaten back to his original shape almost at once. Except for his own strength, it is basically difficult to make a difference in the period of the saint catastrophe.
"My lord!"
The figure of the ugly monkey appeared in front of Sauron. He knelt down on one knee respectfully and said, "In front is the lair of the Shadow Temple, and below is a dense underground passage. We have lost a lot of people when we probed."
"The shadow thief has set up a lot of traps at the entrance. If we attack by force, we may suffer serious losses."
Underground is the Great Shadow Temple.
No wonder the other gods have been unable to find the church headquarters of the Lord of Shadows. Unexpectedly, He actually placed the headquarters underground.
"I see."
Sauron nodded with a calm expression, and then said: "Let the others prepare for battle. After the golem army arrives, you lead people to attack from the side."
General.
If the confrontation of the gods is a game of chess, then Sauron is now the direct general.
Even, if the Lord of Shadows doesn't fight him head-on, he dares to throw away the chessboard. The Church of the Lord of Shadows was wiped out, and the great temple of the Lord of Shadows was flattened. At that time, Sauron would not need to fight Him head-on. Such a serious loss alone would be enough to cause the Lord of Shadows’ strength to plummet, or even fall directly. To the level of [weak divine power]. As long as the Lord of Shadow's divine power plummets, even if Sauron doesn't kill him, he can directly get involved in the [Shadow] priesthood. At that time, Sauron's power will increase, and the Lord of Shadow's power will become weaker and weaker.
Throughout the ages, there has never been a shortage of gods whose believers have lost their strength due to church struggles!
Lady Silvermoon is an obvious example.
When she was most suppressed by Ms. Evernight, the church was almost on the verge of collapse, and she herself was weakened to [weak divine power], so she had to ask the goddess of love to protect her.
This is the limitation of ordinary gods.
Sauron's strength also gathers with believers and godheads. If the half-elf church is destroyed, he will directly fall to [weak divine power], and his godhead points may be deprived by the law because of losing the priesthood. And if the number of believers is too small, Sauron may even change from a true god to a demigod. In the past, many gods gradually declined to fall in this way.
Godhead and priesthood are fused.
Unless Sauron's divinity reaches the [great] level, these two can never be separated.
…
overseas islands. Modo City.
Although Sauron did not let Goliath and the Fallen Witch participate in this battle, it was impossible to avoid the head-on confrontation with the Shadow Church.
Gloria's expression at the moment is also very nervous, and she is even ready to be teleported to the battlefield at any time.
The Lord of Shadows is a veteran deity after all.
And it is also a god of [medium divine power], which has obvious advantages over Sauron.
The relationship between Sauron and the Lord of Shadows cannot be reconciled at all, and the battle between the two sides will definitely end with the failure of the other side. If the Church of Shadows can be destroyed this time, even if the Lord of Shadows is not killed, it is almost impossible for him to stand up.
"Start the element furnace!"
"Lock the teleportation node!"
"The golem legion is assembled!... Open the portal!..."
As a high-level legendary psion, the High Priest was in charge of commanding this battle, and directly established a connection with the psychic force field. The situation was quite similar to the last time he sniped the Spider Queen.
"Start teleporting!"
"The army of clay golems is activated!..."
With the opening of a portal, clay golems appeared on the flat ground in the night.
The elite of the Half-Elves and the Wanderer Church have all gathered, and almost 80% of the members of the Judgment Office, the Central Office, and the Bishop's Council have arrived on the battlefield. There are groups of rogues in the shadows, and their expressions can't help being quite nervous at the moment, because this is a battle to determine the future of the rogues, and whoever serves the god wins, and the other side can dominate the family.
Moreover, with the two priesthoods of [Shadow] and [Wanderer] combined, the areas that everyone can visit will increase.
In other words, no matter who wins, the believers who serve them can increase their strength!
Followers of Sauron have been unable to visit the [Shadow] domain, and followers of the Lord of Shadows have been unable to visit the [Wanderer] and [Tracking] domains.
"let's start!"
Sauron's expression finally showed a slight change. After noticing a familiar divine breath coming from the depths of the ground, he directly ordered: "Let the Golem Legion clear the way and push all the traps down!"
The Lord of Shadows has finally appeared.
Although the two sides haven't fought each other yet, they both feel the familiar power of priesthood in each other, a shadow and a rogue, the collision between them is inevitable!
The first clay and stone golems teleported to arrive began to advance.
They had just entered the range of the valley when there was a violent explosion, and then the three golems were directly scrapped on the spot.
"It's an explosion trap!"
"It looks like it was arranged by a legendary rogue!"
"This is a spike trap!"
"This is a flame trap!"
There was a series of explosions, or the ground suddenly collapsed. Before they completely entered the range of the valley, more than 30 golem legions that Sauron used to lead the battle had already been scrapped. If these traps were not pushed flat with golems, it is unknown how much combat power would be consumed.
Seeing the golems scrapped one after another, Sauron didn't even blink his eyes at this moment, and continued to say in a deep voice: "The No. 2 Golem Legion continues to advance."
It's just ten minutes.
Nearly one hundred and fifty golems were all scrapped in the valley. Most of this batch of golems were clay golems and stone golems, and the challenge level was at most level five.
If it was purchased from the Wizards Union, it would be equivalent to scrapping nearly 300,000 Kindlers.
However, Modo City has the ability to make golem puppets by itself, so the cost price is about 100,000 Kindlers, and the traps set by the Shadow Church probably require so many Kindlers.
The second batch of golem legions continued to advance.
This time the number has increased a lot. There are more than 300 golem puppets, most of which are the cheapest clay golems and stone golems, but this time there are more than ten steel golems mixed in. picture.
The sound of continuous explosions is still ringing.
Faced with Sauron's move of using golems to lead the battle, the Church of Shadows is obviously also very troublesome, especially the steel golems mixed in, many traps are simply ineffective against it.
It is impossible for a body of flesh and blood to resist the trap, but there are not so many taboos for a body of steel.
even!
A priest had already appeared inside the Church of Shadows, and he began to use magic to cooperate with the rogues to get rid of these steel golems.
"Is this already going to send someone to the field?"
After Sauron found the shadow church's old lair, he directly used the portal to lead people to block the door of the other party's house.
When the second batch of golem legions were all scrapped, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly: "The third golem legion is attacking!"
The portal is still maintained.
As long as Sauron is in charge, unless the Lord of Shadow comes to destroy it, the portal will continue to operate, and even if it is destroyed, another one can be opened immediately. Modo City has enough resources to maintain the portal.
The real swordsmanship has not yet begun.
Sauron squandered about 700,000 Kindler's golem legion in just two waves of tentative attacks.
War is a money game.
He dared to challenge the Lord of Shadows head-on. His confidence was not only the eldest princess and the god-climber-Eugene, but the strength of Modo City itself was also a very important part.
The portal continues to function.
The third batch of teleported Golem Legion is quite different, because this time it is the main force of Modo City.
The clay golem is gone.
The number of golems sent this time is about five hundred, most of which are more advanced stone golems, followed by dozens of steel golems, and finally a few diamond golems.
this moment!
The faces of the enemies hiding in the shadows changed. If clay golems and stone golems are not a threat, then steel golems and diamond golems are simply nightmares!
The rogue has no way to deal with these golems.
"I can still bear it!"
Sauron has been paying attention to the movement of the Lord of Shadows, and seeing that the other party has not moved yet, he couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Since you can survive! Then I will compare my patience with you."
The golem army continued to advance.
For this war with the Shadow Church, Sauron prepared more than three million Kindler's worth of golem puppets as consumables.
The Lord of Shadows was able to resist not doing anything, so he patiently used the Golem Legion to consume the opponent to death.
It's not a good thing to say.
The golem factory in Modo City has been operating at full capacity. The main reason for the shadow is to be able to bear it all the time. Even if Sauron spends money today, he will smash the enemy to the ground!
rich! Have technology! That's how willful it is!
