Chapter 546: Harvest of Victory (8000)
The evil god Rose is a very difficult god to "deal with".
To be her opponent, ally, or relative, you must always be careful of her plots and intrigues.
The unlucky Velen is a typical example.
Velen was originally the son of Rose and the Elf God King Corellon.
He was seduced by Rose, who had not yet fallen, and released the darkness in his heart to the fullest, imprisoning his nominal "mother", the Elf Moon Goddess-Shanihan.
The latter escaped from captivity and reported their conspiracy to the Elf Gods.
Then, under the leadership of Rose, Velen united with the dark evil gods such as the Orc God Gruumsh and the Hunting God Mara to launch a rebellion against the Elf Gods.
They underestimated the power of the Elf God King Corellon, and the war failed.
Velen, who was originally the son of the Elf God King, was exiled to the dark underground, and the power he had accumulated with great difficulty was deprived by the equally weak Rose.
After finally reviving, he was more sober and ready to seek revenge on Rose.
Unfortunately, Rose, who had taken away the power of her former ally, the god of slime, Ghaunard, and had also betrayed the spider goddess of Mara, the god of hunting, was no longer a challenge for Velen.
To put it simply, the value of this son had been completely squeezed out.
However, Rose still had a grandson to use...
It was also because of this that Rose, who was affected by the dark, chaotic, and twisted forces, became more and more twisted and terrifying.
Punish the priest who was offering sacrifices for her.
Release the soul-eating spider and kill a believer at random.
Punish the priest who disappointed and angered her to look like a spider elf.
Well, because of her perverse, capricious, cruel and jealous personality, a considerable number of drow elves were unwilling to believe in her.
Many people also joked that they did not want to believe in other dark underground gods, but just hated Rose.
Shetli was twisted into a spider elf, and Sera was not surprised, but felt that it was reasonable.
However, although the spider elf looked ugly, its combat power was indeed greatly improved compared to before Shetli.
She was like the distorted wax melting monster next to her, greedily devouring the residual souls of the slave warriors around her after they died, turning them into consumption for releasing spells.
Sixth ring - Stinking Cloud Spell!
Sixth ring - Deprivation of Vitality!
Sixth ring - Dark Barrier!
Sixth ring - Shadow Arrow Rain!
Sixth ring - Dark Orb!
Various destructive spells poured down around the Thunder Warrior.
The leader Sera sneered and quickly tore open a scroll.
Light blue ripples quickly opened in front of the Thunder Warrior.
Various destructive spells collided with it, but only caused layers of ripples.
Except for some range spells, which caused some damage in the surroundings, the rest were absorbed by it.
Seventh ring - Water Curtain Tianhua!
One of the most defensive high-level spells!
The Thunder Warrior was fine, but the slave warriors around him were in trouble.
The aftermath of the spell dissipation explosion alone killed hundreds of slave warriors.
Xie Teli greedily devoured the soul fragments around her. She felt that she was omnipotent and had endless energy!
She didn't notice at all that the Thunder Warrior who rushed over had circled around her with the protection of the Water Curtain Tianhua.
The crossbows and short spears carrying thunder flew towards Xie Teli one after another.
The flashing shield shattered after being attacked by the magic-breaking crossbows, and then recovered at an extremely fast speed.
The almost endless mana allowed Xie Teli to cast spells unscrupulously.
Unfortunately, her original priest level was too low. Even after experiencing Rose's "reward", she did not learn other spells and divine arts out of thin air.
It was somewhat similar to Matthew at this stage.
The continuous shattering of the shield spell brought a lot of pressure to Xie Teli.
Seeing the lightning rushing in, she waved her staff frantically, releasing twisted dark magic balls one by one.
Boom!
Boom!
The continuous explosions caused a lot of trouble for the Thunder Warriors' advance.
But they had suppressed Shetli's range of activities, and the slave warriors under her control were falling down quickly.
Shetli, who sensed the danger, cast various buff spells on herself without hesitation and ran to the area with the most slave warriors.
During the escape, Shetli did not forget to release pollution, randomly infecting the surrounding creatures and turning them into twisted aberrations.
Such a weird and terrifying ability can make people shudder no matter where they are.
Sera did not approach rashly, as she was not sure whether she could resist the pollution.
She had finally regained her life, and she would never fall down rashly.
Driving Shetli away from the battlefield, thereby causing chaos and collapse in the slave warriors' troops, was also one of the main purposes of the Thunder Warriors.
Shetli's terrible appearance and the chaos that continued to spread caused panic among the drow elves in the slave army.
They felt more and more pressure, and the slave warriors became more and more difficult to control.
The sudden appearance of the aberrations even disrupted the overall formation.
The pressure from the golem troops was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Almost all the slave warriors had lost their confidence and became stray dogs who only knew how to run away.
Angela was keenly aware of this and ordered the crossbowmen to adjust the angle of their shooting to cover the slave army farther away.
Dense arrows fell down with a "clatter".
The slave warriors could no longer hold on and fled in panic.
Many drow commanders had to show up and issue a series of orders to command the battle.
The thunder warriors scattered and attacked, hunting the drow in the team.
Kill them, and the slave warrior team will disperse!
However, when they had to participate in the battle, the drow showed extraordinary combat effectiveness.
Most of them were assassins and rangers, and they also mastered the power of darkness and were proficient in stealth and assassination skills.
In this kind of battle environment with people coming and going, they should have had very outstanding combat effectiveness.
Then, they ran into the thunder emitted by the thunder warriors!
Boom! !
Their spell resistance was high, so they did not fall down at the first time, but exposed their bodies instead.
The lightning warriors, who moved extremely fast, rushed in front of them in an instant.
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the drow elves launched a counterattack.
Unfortunately, their counterattack was too weak.
Although the thunder armor did not have as strong defensive power as the magic armor, it was also an extraordinary level of defensive gear.
It was not difficult to block their attacks several times.
And the accompanying counterattack thunder would temporarily paralyze their movements.
This slight delay would kill the transformed warriors with extraordinary agility.
The thunder warriors were a combat team specially created by Matthew!
He will serve as an independent and flexible force to perform various dangerous tasks.
In addition to this trick of releasing thunder.
The basic abilities of the thunder warriors must reach the top level.
And there must be no shortcomings.
In order to achieve this, they have to learn and train a number of advanced and even extraordinary expertise and skills.
In order to achieve the perfection of the combat system.
A few months have passed, and their training has just completed the first stage.
They have basically reached Matthew's recognition.
Possessing extraordinary top physical fitness and advanced combat skills.
There are always one or two physical attributes that can crush the drow elves!
Once the opponent is slightly slow in close combat, he will be directly eliminated.
Although their tenacious counterattack caused some troubles for the Thunder Team warriors.
Their number is still decreasing.
As the backbone, Xie Teli also realized the changes that happened to her.
After regaining her sanity, she fled the battlefield secretly with thousands of slave warriors and drow elves whose bodies had changed in panic and fear.
Seeing Xie Teli fleeing the battlefield, the drow elves who were struggling to support it were pardoned.
They changed the situation of fighting hard just now and turned around and fled without hesitation.
Without their support, the slave warriors and jackals immediately fell into greater chaos.
Angela did not launch an order for the whole army to attack this time, but sent out small teams to start dividing and controlling the battlefield.
The chaotic battlefield and the deformed monsters that had not been solved in the distance must be handled carefully.
Anyway, most of the drow elves have retreated, and the slave warriors and gnoll slaves can no longer run.
Then there is nothing to worry about!
Half an hour later.
The chaotic battlefield has become quiet again.
Although a considerable number of slave warriors have not given up resistance.
Most of the gnoll slaves have already obediently laid on the ground.
These gnoll slaves have suffered the baptism of distorted thinking, and their basic sanity and thinking have been destroyed, and they have become obedient tools.
The Gulf Lord does not expect them to participate in the battle. As long as they can survive the purification and do not become deformed, they can consider using them to work.
Their work efficiency is not high, but at least they can solve some of the labor pressure in the sparsely populated underground world.
Some more dangerous areas can be left to them to open up.
The Gulf Lord will not deliberately consume them. As long as they complete their respective tasks, they can ensure that they are well fed.
This is already a dream scene for most gnolls.
On the contrary, those slave warriors of mixed races are more favored by Matthew.
So many different races can always bring him some special expertise and skills.
These expertise and skills will serve as the basis to improve Matthew's design for transforming warriors.
They can also contribute the basis and inspiration for creating stronger extraordinary expertise.
Of course, they can also make other contributions. The key is whether they know the current situation.
The Gulf Territory is not willing to spend too much time on some hard bones that are not of high value.
There are still many empty beds in the newly opened area of the underground laboratory...
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The rotating black wooden barrel, with a dull sound of breaking through the air, hit the deep aberration firmly.
The fire around this behemoth, which was about to go out, burned again.
The rolling heat wave spread in all directions and hit the cheek, giving people a burning and painful feeling.
Fierce fire oil is the resource that the Gulf Territory has purchased the most from the El Elves.
More than most magic materials and plants.
Part of it is used for war consumption, especially to clean up the weird plants and fungal blankets on the Catachan plane.
Part of it was stored as a war reserve in the Gulf Territory to prepare for future wars.
According to Aini's description, the raw material of Menghuo Oil was developed from a mine similar to deep-sea oil.
It has a very high viscosity and flammability.
Even without oxygen, it can continue to burn violently and continuously release huge amounts of light and heat.
Victor was very interested in it and tried to transform it into a special explosive.
Matthew also attaches great importance to this oil-like substance and has issued a reward to the adventurers in the territory.
Whoever can find similar resource points will receive generous rewards of more than 100,000 gold coins.
"Roar……!"
The deafening roar, accompanied by the fiery wind, blew the surrounding flames crazily.
But it only blew those swaying flames.
After its foul-smelling breath was blown away, the blazing fire became more and more prosperous.
Fierce flames burned its twisted flesh, billowing smoke, and hundreds of crossbow arrows flew over, easily piercing into the charred rotten flesh.
Immediately afterwards, the glass reagent bottle containing the holy water exploded.
They were like strong acid, corroding big holes in the monster's body, causing it to twist wildly.
The tentacles stained with flames, the terrifying and twisted mouth, the body like a mountain of flesh, and the disgusting feeling that can be described in words.
Just one look at it gives one the twisted feeling of fading sanity.
Matthew always kept an eye on the mental state of the Gulf Territory soldiers to ensure that they would not suffer irreversible effects.
Mordenkainen, who was wearing a cloak, looked at the deep aberration surrounded by fire in shock, and murmured with great interest:
"The underground world is so amazing. There is such a deep distortion."
"After the intensity of the Scarlet Moon decreased, I thought I wouldn't see them for a long time."
After hearing this, Matthew subconsciously raised his eyebrows, looked over curiously, and asked directly:
"Is this knowledge blocked? Or are there certain viewing restrictions?"
Seeing the emblem of the intermediate arcanist on Matthew's body, Mordenkainen finally reacted.
The lord who brought him a lot of pressure was just a young arcanist who had just grown up. After suppressing his thoughts, he continued to nod and said:
"Yes, research on the Scarlet Moon and aberrations has always been taboo knowledge that requires a complete blockade."
"Spell casters below the extraordinary level are strictly prohibited from understanding and spreading it."
"These objects, patterns, and even the words they describe carry some kind of terrifying twisting power."
"For individuals who are not determined, it will cause subtle pollution."
Sure enough, with something as big as the Scarlet Moon hanging in the sky, it is impossible for arcane masters who are keen on seeking knowledge to ignore it.
Matthew guessed that the Netherese Empire must have conducted a long and in-depth study of the Red Moon.
Moreover, it is very likely that the Netheril Empire has gained some gains, but at the same time suffered huge losses and changes.
The terrifying power of the Scarlet Moon made Matthew feel deeply afraid just thinking about it.
Matthew knew better that despite the past 10 years, Scarlet Moon's influence had remained at a low level.
However, in the future natural disasters, the terrifying Scarlet Moon will play a new role. It will no longer just act as a spectator!
Matthew thought carefully about the relationship between Scarlet Moon, aberrations, and evil gods.
Discover the many unique connections hidden within.
Distortion that distorts the human heart and body, impacting the mind and spirit.
Moreover, this kind of influence is very special and can only be affected by will.
This shows what?
It starts from the heart and soul, and ordinary defense methods seem to be difficult to produce results.
Looking at the deep aberration surrounded by fire, Matthew suddenly had an idea.
The reason why this monster did not have much impact on the Gulf Territory soldiers.
It’s because it’s so embarrassing now!
He has been in a passive state of being beaten.
All he knows is incompetence and rage.
Like a very flat target.
The first impression given to everyone is that it is not particularly weird or mysterious.
In this case, everyone would even have the guts to make fun of it, and the spiritual defense would naturally be successful.
This gave Matthew some inspiration.
In the future, the frequency of dealing with this kind of monster will become higher.
The Gulf Territory must prepare for a rainy day!
"Roar……!"
After recovering, Yaya sprayed "Fire Dragon Breath" firmly on the deeply deformed body that could not move.
The scorching flames turned into particle flow and cut a hideous wound into the deep aberration.
The terrible monster was severely wounded.
It no longer struggles with Fang, and instead wants to attack the Gulf Leaders, or devour the Gnoll slaves that are gradually being driven further away.
It waved its tentacles wildly and struggled forward.
The big mouth, filled with sharp teeth and disgusting mucus, kept opening and closing, devouring the land that still had burnt blackened pieces.
Unfortunately, it had lost the initiative and was restrained by Yaya.
Yaya, who was always paying attention to his condition, made sure that the opponent's distortion and contamination could not affect him, and swooped down very decisively.
"Hit it hard!"
These were the words Matthew told Yaya.
Yaya did the same, whether using claws or sweeping tails, she kept expanding the wounds on the body of the deep deformer.
In order to deal with the amazing healing ability of this monster, Yaya tried every means to dismantle the body of this monster.
Pieces of tissue and trunk were violently torn apart by Yaya, and then thrown into the fire to burn.
No matter how strong the recovery ability of this monster is, it still needs to devour souls and flesh to drive it.
Under the absolute pressure of Yaya, the size of the deep deformer was greatly reduced, and its life was seriously threatened, and it was forced to move to the next stage.
Yaya allowed this change, and she also wanted to see the subsequent changes of this monster.
However, Yaya's idea fell through.
Without energy replenishment and severely injured, the deep deformer collapsed and shattered when its whole body began to shrink.
Yaya was a little disappointed, watching it turn into a pile of rotten, melted meat, and opened his mouth unhappily, spewing out another mouthful of burning dragon breath.
When the flames faded, hundreds of pieces of bright red super flesh essence were the last remaining traces of this deep deformed body.
After solving this troublesome monster, the Gulf leader army shifted its focus to dealing with the slave army.
Facing the almost indestructible dragon cavalry golem, the surrounding Mo Dao battalion had already surrounded the Thunder Warriors who had surrounded them.
The slave warriors, who had lost their backbone, chose to surrender very simply.
Of course, the most important part of the reason that forced them to surrender.
It was that they found that the Gulf leader did not kill all the surrendered gnoll slaves.
The gnoll slaves could survive, and they also hoped so.
After all, even if they became slaves, being a slave to the drow elves was the worst kind.
With the surrender of the last batch of slave warriors.
This sudden war ended with the Gulf leader's comprehensive victory.
The Gulf Territory captured 130,000 gnoll slaves and 35,000 elite slave warriors.
The former will be "purified" and participate in labor reform to contribute to the development of the Gulf Territory.
Some of the latter will be "fortunate" to enter the underground laboratory.
Most will become the training targets of the Gulf Territory soldiers.
Only those who perform best, love to learn, and can change can gain freedom of action.
As for the drow elves.
Nearly 250,000 slave soldiers were lost.
There are also about 2,000 drow elves, who have also turned into Matthew's power of destiny.
The gnoll kingdom suffered heavy losses.
The last bit of elites was consumed.
Even the master of the entire kingdom, the fire dragon Diego, became the trophy of the Gulf Territory.
Groups of flames illuminated the dark space.
The stench of burning corpses slowly spread to the surroundings.
The ashes left after the burning of the corpses, after simple treatment, will become fertilizer for the reclamation of the underground world of the Gulf Territory.
Basically, all the intelligent creatures in the underground world killed by the Gulf Territory will be dealt with in this way.
Matthew's "vigilance" towards intelligent creatures has basically reached its limit.
He thought very clearly that steady and steady progress is the best way out for the Gulf Territory.
In this strange world, only those who are cautious can have the qualifications to develop.
Looking at the battlefield with flames rising to the sky from a distance.
Liya, who had been watching the battle, slowly turned around and whispered silently in her heart.
"Sure enough, the Gulf Territory never disappoints people. It is worthy of being the force that my lord has taken a fancy to..."
Looking at Xie Teli who disappeared in the distance, Liya showed a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and her golden hair was slightly shiny.
She made a gesture of retreat to the elf warriors following behind her, and slowly disappeared in the dark passage.
Xie Teli, who was fleeing in the distance, looked at the twisted figures around her in fear.
After confirming that the Thunder Warrior did not continue to pursue, she regained her sanity and slowly calmed down.
There was no sound in her ears. It seemed that with the arrival of the "reward", all the things that troubled her mind had completely disappeared.
She looked at the twisted figures roaring around her, and her eyes slowly revealed a cruel and ferocious look...
After cleaning the battlefield.
The last batch of soldiers also began to check and purify after the battle.
Every soldier needs to be cleaned with holy water, washed with purifying potions, and checked for wounds.
All injured soldiers will be followed up to ensure that they will not have hidden accidents.
After all the soldiers have recovered, Matthew gave the order to continue moving forward.
Their mission has not been completed yet. They must take down the castle of the Gnoll Kingdom in one go and make the final end of this battle.
However, the battle did not happen.
When Fangya flapped its wings and landed on the castle, the remaining Gnolls chose to surrender.
The gate slowly opened, and the cavalry of the inspection team entered first and checked the entire castle at the fastest speed.
Matthew and Fangya stepped into the castle, and the rest of the army did not enter to avoid accidents and dangers.
For these prostrating Gnolls, Matthew sent Jinya to take care of them.
Interestingly, Matthew found a lot of traces of dragon blood transformation on these gnolls.
It can be seen that the fire dragon Diego has indeed spent a lot of effort on this gnoll kingdom.
If it is in other seasons.
The fire dragon Diego, who has already broken through to the legendary level and is not very old, may really break through the restrictions of his bloodline or create a real jackal kingdom.
Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs.
The Gnoll Kingdom in the underground world has completely dissipated from the moment the fire dragon Diego died.
Matthew walked to the scorching magma river, felt the heat from the surging magma, smiled and said softly:
"This river of magma alone is enough for us to get back our money."
Yaya smelled the strong smell of sulfur, looked at the flowing lava river, and asked curiously:
"What's the use of this river?"
Matthew recalled a player guild that made its fortune from the lava river, and said with great anticipation:
"The gray dwarves and dwarves have a unique metal forging method that uses such a magma river."
"Although this magma river is fast, it is not intense. It is very suitable for forging."
"Moreover, in addition to being used for forging, many rare elemental gems and underground metals will also be produced..."
Yaya nodded thoughtfully, suddenly remembered something, pointed to the huge cave next to the magma river and said:
"That should be the lair of the fire dragon Diego, right? We can go in and have a look!"
The obsession with wealth is an obsession engraved in the blood of every dragon.
The fire dragon Diego, as a legendary dragon, although not a real dragon, once owned a kingdom of gnolls.
There must be a lot of wealth hidden in its lair.
Matthew nodded to Yaya and made a gesture of invitation. Yaya made the greatest contribution in this battle.
This ritual of exploring and harvesting must be started by Yaya himself!
As soon as he entered the nest, a scorching heat wave came over him like a tidal wave.
Matthew released a fire elemental barrier and immediately felt refreshed. What came into view was a mountain of silver light.
"Wow!!! It's really a mountain of silver!"
Yaya rushed over excitedly and reached out to touch the silver mountain.
Touch here, look there.
Yaya, who had an extremely good discernment ability, suddenly brightened up. He tore open the shiny silver surface with his bare hands and took out a dazzling gold nugget from inside.
"Adamantine! Haha, I knew it wouldn't be that poor!"
She happily stuffed the fine gold into her arms. Yaya suddenly became interested, stretched out her hand to tear open a big hole, and happily got in.
From time to time, Yaya's excited exclamations came from the cave, and Matthew vaguely heard things like "Thorium", "Ruby", "Similian", etc.
It can be seen that Yaya has gained a lot.
Matthew turned his head and looked at the items in the lair again.
There are many dark metal blocks with signs of melting placed in the corner, which should be metal minerals paid tribute by the gnolls.
The Dwarf Research Institute should be very interested in these minerals.
After all, certain metals formed by chance can sometimes be quite magical.
In addition to these metals, Matthew also saw a small pile of red and shiny fire element gems.
These fire element gems are of very good quality and should be products of lava rivers.
Matthew became increasingly interested in the value of this magma river.
In addition to these metals and gems, Matthew also unexpectedly discovered a large number of scales and teeth.
These should be left by the fire dragon Diego. After a long period of tempering and nourishment by the fire element, they have turned into a very special magic material.
The quality is between extraordinary and legendary, which is just in line with the current production level of magic equipment and props in the Gulf Territory.
"Wow! Look what I found?"
Yaya's voice of surprise suddenly reached Matthew's ears.
What could make Yaya so surprised?
He turned around and saw that Yaya was holding two shiny red eggs in his hands.
Dragon Egg x 2!
Dragon eggs, extraordinary creatures, evolving...
Evolving?
Matthew was immediately interested.
Dragon eggs are not uncommon. The Gulf Territory raises so many dragon-blooded creatures, so naturally it also harvests a lot of dragon eggs.
However, the vast majority of dragon eggs are in a normal state and have never been in a marked "evolution" state like the two in front of them.
Without thinking much, Matthew took the dragon egg handed over by Yaya and looked at it carefully.
Compared with ordinary eggs, dragon eggs are not much larger, only about half a meter high.
The gray-black metal eggshell gives Matthew a sense of vitality.
The red and translucent flame patterns are freely absorbing the surrounding fire elements.
From the dragon egg stage, dragons have begun to develop.
Its body will adjust and transform to a certain extent according to the surrounding environment in order to best adapt to the environment.
However, most other dragon blood creatures can also do this, which does not reflect the specialness of these two dragon eggs.
However, Matthew had already vaguely felt that these two dragon eggs had a special vitality.
This vitality helps the little life inside the dragon egg to emit faint fluctuations of mental power.
It felt to Matthew as if he was fighting against the influence of the increasingly deepening Dragon Mystery Lock in the environment.
This special change gave Matthew a big surprise.
Among the more than 30 kinds of extraordinary dragon-blooded creatures collected in the Gulf Territory, only two or three kinds have strengthened their spiritual evolution.
Matthew didn't know whether this evolution was specifically to resist the mad dragon mystery lock.
But there is no doubt that they are indeed less affected by dragon blood creatures.
In other words, they may not be able to survive the Mad Dragon Lock, but they can usually last longer.
Combined with Matthew's current research on the "Mad Dragon Lock", strengthening and defending the mind and wisdom is the only way to fight against the Mad Dragon Lock.
But Matthew did not expect that the fire dragon Diego, who seemed to have no resistance to the "Mad Dragon Lock", actually had such a trick up his sleeve.
Matthew gently stroked the dragon egg, feeling the tenacious growth of the little life inside, and couldn't help but sigh silently:
"Life will indeed find a way out on its own!"
