My players are so fierce

Chapter 645 644. No wonder the gods don’t show their holiness on weekdays. The aftereffects of having a good time are really bad - more updates [55]

(Additional update for "Chen Wenjun 2" brothers [5/5])

At dawn the next day, the battle at Black Flame Pass finally came to an end.

The good news is that after Murphy personally went into battle and led the Transians to fight fiercely and build momentum, and finally led Hu Congjun to launch a counterattack, positions No. 2 and No. 3 were successfully recaptured.

The bad news is that position No. 1, which is the most severely penetrated by underground tunnels, is the outermost position of Black Flame Pass, and has completely fallen into the hands of the Split Claw Jackals.

They sacrificed at least 8,000 kobolds and 1,000 jackals in last night's battle to withstand the Hu Congjun's counterattack, and used the time gained by the sacrifices on the front line to add a vicious barrier around Position 1.

It was the supernatural power exerted by the voodoo priest, which was like the fog of war that could not be dispelled, completely isolating the entire No. 1 position from the rear positions.

Murphy could have rushed in, but at the last moment he chose to stop.

Firstly, it was because dawn was approaching and the environment was no longer suitable for vampire fighting. Secondly, it was because I was worried that dusk might interfere with the fog. If I rushed in like this, I would probably fall into a trap.

Lord Heather was going crazy.

She regarded it as a shame in the Black Flame Pass, especially in the face of the victory of the Transians at Fort Courage. Her loss of Position 1 was like a fierce slap in the face to the face-conscious dwarf lord. face.

She was determined to regain position No. 1 before the sun set today, and even decided to play in person.

Of course, this is not just because of the dwarves' face. The main reason is that the black disaster has just begun, and Black Flame Pass has lost a position. If it cannot be regained as soon as possible, then there will be no way to fight the next battle.

In addition to the battle at Blackfire Pass, the battle at Fort Courage also came to an end at dawn.

After the unlucky Overseer who presided over the invasion was shot in the head by Cowboy Judy, the invasion was essentially over.

The remaining gnolls and kobolds still have a numerical advantage. However, after the Valander Knight personally led the hussars to complete the trampling charge, what about the numerical advantage? Alas, that's just an illusory lie.

What's more, the Transian warriors who fought here and slapped the Jackal's face with absolute bravery have returned here!

When Happy Stick took down the blood flag and personally held it to lead the charge, even the toughest jackal barbarian would scream cowardly and then turn around and run away like a coward.

Although there is still a long way to go before it becomes a true "holy object", this flag dyed red with the blood of warriors and gnolls has clearly begun to look impressive.

In a world where metaphysical things like gods and psychic powers exist, the more significant the flag carries, the greater the possibility that it will be "otherworldly" one day in the future, especially when it continues to participate in various In major events, when its historical participation becomes more and more profound, it only needs an opportunity to become a true legend.

There is no shortage of similar stories on the mainland.

For example, the Great Wilderness Battle Flag, the treasure of the Winter Wolf Legion of the Kingdom of Nordtof.

That thing was the battle flag used by the Hero King Boris when he was determined to open up the wilderness. It completely witnessed the Hero King's great conquest from beginning to end, and eventually became a powerful symbol of victory. That thing has been on the Nordtov Frontier since After it was confirmed, it was kept in the Winter Wolf Fortress on the far northern border.

Even the Western Sabarian gangs in the chaotic land of the far north are afraid of the power of the Great Wilderness War Flag.

Although the victory in Fort Courage was not as exciting and outstanding as the death match, the fact that the defenders of less than 400 people could persist to the end under the siege of thousands of gnolls and kobolds is undoubtedly something worth remembering.

After breakfast after dawn, a blood alliance army was mobilized and stationed in the messy Fort of Courage.

Also coming with them were two earth priests.

Lord Heather has given a death order. Within seven days, the main construction of Fort Courage must be completed. Within twenty days, she must see this "holy land" that is very important to the morale of the defenders of Black Flame Pass complete the strategic defense.

The four earth priests can complete the construction within the specified time, but they need specific drawings. The silver dwarves are masters of design, but they also need time to reset the most perfect defense according to the terrain of Fort Courage.

However, this problem has long been solved by the Transians.

While the Silver Moon Regiment was escorting 30 new recruits back to Black Flame Pass, Samoyelia, the "War Architect" of the Stonemasons Brotherhood, brought his two local apprentices to Fort Courage. This guy brought A complete set of drawings designed by myself within three days of going offline.

Of course, it cannot be a work designed from scratch.

Samoyed is a very pragmatic guy. His drawings drew on the ancient "art of war" from another world, and created a pentagonal bastion structure based on the terrain of Fort Courage, which is both beautiful and practical from a top view.

"This design can ensure that our soldiers will not have any blind spots for shooting on the city wall. I also designed a guard tower for defense and security on the protruding part of the bastion, on which we can set up city defense artillery.

In this way, no matter which direction the gnolls attack from, they will receive enough firepower to get close to our city wall. "

Samoyed used his handy psychic measuring rod to introduce to the four dwarf earth priests beside him on the spread out drawings:

"But to complete this design, the four of us had to first shape the terrain of the Blood Flag Highlands into a broader platform, forming a 5-7 meter drop from the ground in all directions. In this way, we don't need to build the city wall when we build it. 20 meters is an exaggeration. According to my calculations, when the Jackals lack heavy firepower, about 10-15 meters is enough.

In the core area of ​​the five-sided bastion is the core tower of the main defense. There is no need to build an exaggerated castle building here, which would consume too much time and cost, so just build it according to the model of a mage tower! "

"War Architect" said confidently:

"I watched Master Ilyich's drawings of the Mage Tower for the Tower of Midnight in the Scarlet Castle. We can definitely use it to make a scaled-down replica. After the Mage Tower is completed, we in Transia will also appoint a senior Silver-level spellcasters have been sitting here for a long time.

When necessary, this mage tower can even become a spellcasting core to perform devastating astral tearing spells on nearby gnolls!

I have consulted Grand Duke Tris and this idea is absolutely feasible.

Moreover, the Grand Duke also said that with the current scale of our Scarlet Fort, one of the Blood Vulture Clan's seven Serenade defense cores can be placed in Fort Courage. In this way, when encountering a siege by the army here, the defenders can activate the barrier. Create a stronger defense.

The only problem is that this is not a psychic node in the Dark Mountains, so replenishing psychic power is a big problem. "

"Well, actually it's not impossible."

After a female earth priest looked over Samoyed's drawings repeatedly, she raised her head and said:

"We, the earth priests, have a complex magical technique that can use the power of Mother Gaia to transfer a certain spiritual energy node on the earth over a short distance. Fort Courage is only about a hundred kilometers away from the nearest spiritual energy node. If it can be executed If this magic is used, then this mage tower can be built in a short time.

But the problem is that we cannot use this kind of magic casually. We must pray to the Mother Earth for permission in advance.

You must understand, Architect of Transia, that the earth is the domain of Gaia, and in the legends of our Silver Dwarves, the spiritual nodes in the world are the joints in the body of the Earth Mother.

These naturally formed nodes will cause pain to the Mother Goddess once they are artificially transferred.

This is terrible blasphemy.

Therefore we can perform such rituals only with the permission of the Mother Goddess. "

"Then just ask."

Samoyed is an atheist. He cannot understand the sincerity of true believers towards gods, but he knows that he cannot express his opinion casually on such matters.

He said:

"When I passed by the Shadow Valley, I learned from my compatriots that today is the day when the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia takes her turn to be the war guardian of the Black Disaster War. You can borrow the altar there."

"What?"

Samoyed's words made the four priests dumbfounded.

You Transians, do you want to listen to what you are saying? The Earth Mother Goddess of our dwarves is known to dislike fighting. How could she voluntarily join the war and become some kind of bullshit war guardian?

Still on duty?

Pooh!

You really can’t even make up lies!

Which of the gods in the mainland are not arrogant people? Why do they humiliate their helpers one at a time?

Are you afraid you are talking in your sleep?

"it is true!"

Samoyed saw suspicion on the faces of the four dwarf priests, and he immediately explained:

"Yesterday's war guardian was Lord Vaam, so our warriors were able to burst out their will in the dark night and kill enemies ten times their size. You saw the bravery of our Transians last night with your own eyes, and you can't fake it. Right?

According to the schedule posted in Shadow Valley, the god on duty tomorrow should be Su, the day after tomorrow it will be the Holy Spirit of the East, the day after tomorrow it will be the God of Nature, and the last day it will be Ms. Spider.

One day at a time, relaxed and happy!

Oh, by the way, when my compatriots asked for blessings from the Mother Earth this morning, they also received a mission from the Mother Goddess. God Gaia asked us to find rare ores and gems and dedicate them to her as a blessing sacrifice. . "

"Impossible! I don't believe it!"

The priestess who spoke just now shook her head vigorously.

She didn't believe that the Transians were so proud that they could invite the six gods, so as Samoyed watched helplessly, the earth priest used a secret method to blend himself into the earth and travel quickly, and arrived in the underworld a few minutes later. Shadow Valley.

The scene of her jumping out from under the earth frightened a group of newbies. Then they realized that an important NPC had been "refreshed", and excitedly gathered around to trigger the mission.

But the priestess was not in the mood to pay attention to these irritable Transians. She quickly rushed away from the crowd and rushed to the altar area of ​​Shadow Valley to look up.

The next moment, the priestess was struck by thunder.

Good guy!

These Transian lunatics actually built altars of different styles for the six gods, and arranged them in rows under the mountain wall, just like the architect just said, arranging them in a cycle of six days.

Under the Altar of Vamu, there are already piles of "freshly chopped" heads of gnolls, kobolds and even goatmen. Judging from the barbarian runes floating around the Altar of Vamu, the berserkers are very satisfied with these sacrifices.

Several pieces of uncarved ore were also placed on the stone altar of the Mother Earth that was lit up today. I don’t know where the Transians found them.

But the priestess saw with her own eyes a group of vampire gods placing the ores they brought on the altar of the Mother Goddess, and then pretending to half-knelt down to pray for the Mother Goddess' blessing.

If ordinary vampires dared to speak to the gods like this, they would definitely be severely punished by the gods. However, the Mother Goddess was extremely generous today. The earthy yellow light wrapped around these vampires like quicksand, giving them the power of the earth. There are three strengthening effects: Rock Protection and Quicksand Foot.

This scene caused the priestess' worldview to collapse.

She stupidly watched the blessed Transian vampires leave chatting and laughing, then rubbed her eyes vigorously, and saw the second group of Transian people coming with minerals, and obtained them again according to the previous process. bless.

Blanch!

Mother Goddess Gaia!

What are you doing! Mother Goddess!

These are all vampires! This is shit in your eyes, how can you be so careless? Why can the Transians get this kind of blessing, but we sincere believers have so many difficulties in getting your oracle?

Oh, Mother Goddess!

Have you abandoned your loyal dwarven family?

"Not really!"

Just when the priestess' faith was about to collapse, a voice as gentle and thick as the earth appeared in the priest's ears with helplessness, which shocked the priestess.

She immediately fell to her knees and recited Gaia's name sincerely.

She knew that this was an oracle sent down by the Mother Goddess, which was an extremely sacred thing for any earth priest.

"The Transians are the 'mercenaries of God'. Their contempt for death and their will to protect are the most precious qualities in this war. My family, you can't just take it at face value."

Gaia originally didn't intend to pay attention to these small things, but seeing that her believers' faith was about to collapse, she had to step in to comfort them, and took this opportunity to convey an oracle.

He said:

"This black disaster will have a profound impact on the material world. You must take it seriously! The dwarves will undergo major changes. That is a part of the fate of the world, and you must be prepared to accept it.

In addition, Fort Courage is the common holy place of Su, Avalon and Vaam. The three gods here have given their divine power to help mortals win victory, which will surely be passed down in history.

They have sent their respective families there, and you must assist them in completing the construction of Fort of Courage.

Finally, an era in which gods and humans are more closely connected may be coming, and you must prepare for this.

Just learn from the Transians.

Place my altar on every inch of the earth that is guarded by you. When you need strength, I will give you the shelter of all mountains and rivers until the material world can safely survive the uneasy era shrouded in shadow.

Go for it!

Pass this message on to every dwarf, to every descendant of mine. "

This is the end of the oracle of the Earth Mother.

The priestess prostrated herself on the ground, with tears streaming down her face when she stood up. Although Gaia was only telling the truth, as a bond and connection of faith, personally feeling the gentle presence of the Mother Goddess is enough to make any devout person speak from the bottom of his heart. of gratitude.

This is why it is so difficult to deal with both the fanatics and the sincere.

They are too "close" to the gods.

Even if the gods are not malicious, they will still be "changed". In layman's terms, their body and mind are already in the shape of gods.

The priestess took one last look at the row of altars in the Shadow Valley, which looked a little "rebellious". She said nothing more, turned around and jumped into the earth and quickly rushed back to the Fort of Courage, sharing the oracle she had received with the others. Three people to share.

After realizing the will of the Mother Goddess, the Silver Dwarves quickly used their own methods to contact the Silver Castle far away in the Plantagenet Kingdom.

After hearing that the Mother Goddess had sent an oracle asking the dwarves to take a more active role in participating in this black disaster, even the supreme lord of the Silver Dwarves was alarmed.

As for the construction of Fort Courage, it has of course been put on the top priority agenda.

After all, this was something ordered by the Mother Goddess herself.

At the same time, on the way to Fort Courage from the Black Flame Pass, a Western Barbarian Berserker Priest had just had a fight with Master Yuri from the Eye of the Wolf God Monastery.

Well, the reason why they fought was quite simple, they just didn't like each other.

After all, the relationship between Wamu and Su is very, very "tense". The gods are fighting. As priests of the gods, everyone would be sorry for their beliefs if they don't fight.

"damn thing!"

The beaten barbarian priest was determined to win the battle. While wiping the blood on his face, he shouted to Master Yuri:

"Fort of Courage is my sacred place! There is no place for you wolf cubs there! I am not as good as others and have nothing to say, but the Temple of the Berserker has sent more powerful fighters to guard the holy place! Just wash your necks and wait. Come on!"

This provocation made Master Yuri frown.

The damn Wam idiots look like they are trying to rob Su of his new holy land. They are so arrogant! They have nothing to worry about, but if you add the group of Avalon believers who are resurrecting but are more militant and dangerous than before, they are coveting it.

To guard Fort Courage for Su, the Eye of the Wolf God Monastery alone is not enough.

"Mia!"

Master Yuri made a decision and whispered to the believers following him:

"Send a message to the Great Temple of the North Wind! We need the support of the Winter's Fang ascetic monks, at least one, otherwise we will not be able to defend Su's holy land."

There will be an update from the leader tomorrow! Asking for a monthly ticket~
