Green Monster Epic

Chapter 424: A New Crisis

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially Bileir and Kirill, who truly understood the details. As the will of the Spider Queen Lolth subsided, they dared not hold back in the slightest, unleashing all their reserved methods. A surging energy storm swept through the still-cooling lava volcano.

No one had the mind to be surprised at why Eric's domain was so powerful. Although they harbored some apprehension or even covetousness towards this companion brought by Allen, now was the time to conclude the battle. With their rich experience, they naturally wouldn't be distracted at this moment.

The Thunder God's Wrath raged across the ground and sky, causing immense damage to the spider-transformed drow, but it couldn't completely take Brittany's life. Although the previous divine descent could be considered a failure, the infusion of Lolth's will and a small portion of divine power still caused some changes in Brittany's body. At least her magic resistance was quite high at this moment, directly resisting a lot of damage from electric spells.

At this time, the spider-transformed drow was also covered in mottled marks, the scorched smell of cooked flesh accompanied by white smoke. In her painful pupils, burning venomous eyes blazed. However, before Brittany could catch her breath again, the demigod assassin Kirill and the Ajina Tribe leader Bileir made their moves. One directly appeared behind the spider's massive body, transforming into a beam of azure light that pierced through the vital point of the humanoid body, while the other threw a gem shimmering with countless lights and ran wildly in the opposite direction without looking back.

Boom! Boom!! Boom boom boom!!!

Bileir hadn't run far before being blown off balance by the hurricane, constantly flying in the air until he barely regained control of his body before landing. In fact, even before the legendary spell contained within the gem thrown by Bileir was fully formed, the ray transformed by the demigod assassin Kirill had already pierced Brittany's heart, and then a shadow leap perfectly dodged the surging power of the legendary spell.

On the contrary, Allen and his companions, who were entangled by the drow instructor Dalhan and the half-drow archer, were once again accidentally injured by this legendary spell, barely dodging the aftermath of the legendary spell while also cooperating to deliver a fatal blow to their opponents.

......Losing the last hope of the spider-transformed drow, Dalhan and the unknown archer became turtles in a jar. Although they knew the location of the Mystra magic item, they couldn't use their mental power to解除 the Mystra's seal. After all, the activation and 解除 of this Mystra required a matching spell model, which was not something that two guys who couldn't cast spells could do.

Pfft!!

Under the cover of his companion Nicolai's great strength, Allen's Bone Splitter seized the opportunity when the ranger instructor's twin blades were knocked away, revealing a large opening in his chest. He directly slashed out with his sword, and Dalhan's slender and agile body was ultimately cut in two by Allen, who was filled with anger, and died completely.

On the other side, the archer had been strangled by the demigod assassin Kirill even earlier, and then he took the opportunity to add a knife to the heart, thus ending this difficult battle.

Although the battle had temporarily come to an end, Allen did not relax because of this. His eyes lightly swept across Nicolai's face, giving him a subtle reminder. Then, Allen cleanly pulled out Bone Splitter and tapped the ground again with his feet, directly pouncing out once more. At the same time, Nicolai, who had received Allen's reminder, also tacitly swung the long and heavy steel spear, a spear flower directly sweeping across, and charged towards Arierre, who was dozens of meters away, crisscrossing with Allen.

"You!!"

"Clan Chief Allen, stop!!"

Ding!!

Dong!!

The shouts of others were floating clouds to Allen. If he didn't take advantage of this great opportunity to eliminate Arierre, then Arierre, who already knew that he was full of malice towards him, would definitely not let him go.

However, after Allen's Bone Splitter and Nicolai's steel spear were blocked by Quaggoth Eye and the demigod assassin Kirill, Allen sighed inwardly. At least for now, he was probably unable to arouse his companions' murderous intent towards Arierre and the others.

Allen had clearly seen Arierre's resurrection, as well as the sudden joint cooperation between Bileir and the demigod assassin Kirill, even though he had been in the midst of fierce battle. There must be a deeper connection between these two tribes and the church.

Combined with the drow's plan to surround a group of legendary figures from the Northern Territory within this Mystra, all sorts of strange actions undoubtedly showed that Allen and his companions, including Nicolai, had actually been used by Bileir and the others.

Janry and Yogg, several companions from the Thorns of the Ring, without Allen's urging, had already stood together with Allen and Nicolai, looking solemnly at Bileir and Kirill.

"Clan Chief Bileir, have you forgotten our previous plan and goal?"

As the Great Elder of the Argan Tribe and a natural ally of the Aman Shaw Tribe, Janry released intense dissatisfaction in his eyes at this time, waiting for Bileir to give them a reasonable explanation.

"I'm sorry, everyone. This time, it was a joint collaboration between my Ajina Tribe, the Snowme Tribe, the Church of Nature, and the Church of Rangers, using the assassination of Clan Chief Arierre as an excuse to lure out the traitors who had been bought in the wilderness, as well as the threats hiding in the dark, to formulate the plan."

Bileir was very apologetic, sincerely apologizing, and truthfully stating this series of plans.

"In fact, Talib, the Zhang Lai of the Snowme Tribe, has already been..."

After listening to Bileir's explanation, and with the demigod Kirill of the Church of Rangers vouching for him, even if Allen and the others had some dissatisfaction, they were too embarrassed to really vent their anger on Bileir and the others. On the contrary, after hearing about the purpose behind the drow's actions, the faces of Janry, Shi Lan, and other representatives of the major tribes in the Northern Territory were all filled with serious expressions, constantly muttering in their hearts to quickly bring this news back and let their tribes prepare early.

Perhaps because of the guilt of keeping these companions in the dark, or perhaps in order to win everyone over and lay the foundation for future cooperation in the Northern Territory, Kirill, the representative of the Temple of Nature, as well as the leaders of the Snowme, Raven's Claw, and Ajina tribes, who were the vanguard, all made concessions and gave up most of the benefits.

Anyway, these drow who were ambushed obviously couldn't have many strategic materials such as inheritance crystals. The legendary inheritance crystal that was eventually scavenged was given to Nicolai, the ogre leader who had made a significant contribution, as Allen and the others had agreed beforehand.

As for Allen and Eric, their gains weren't bad either. The demi-god Matron Araliye's dimensional bag was completely destroyed, but her legendary-grade long whip became their spoils of war. Although Eric's strength was weak, his contribution in the battle was even greater than the demi-god assassin Kirill. Besides directly expelling Lolth's descending will at the last moment, the domain that restricted legendary flight was truly heaven-defying.

However, at this time, most people's minds had already been drawn to the news of the drow's impending expedition to the wilderness. Who had the extra energy to care about the spoils of war in front of them, which could only be considered slightly tempting? After a few slightly attractive spoils of war were distributed according to their respective contributions in battle, everyone dispersed and returned to their tribes.

In the field, only Byleir, Ariyal, and Kirill were left, these three powerhouses looked at each other. In the end, Kirill spoke up to break the deadlock.

"I will go to Bonn City with Chief Ariyal to help Chief Ariyal suppress the traitor Taribo in their tribe. Chief Byleir, you should also prepare to summon the army as soon as possible. According to what we all agreed upon before, send troops to join forces with Chief Ariyal and be ready to respond to the drow invasion at any time."

"Okay..."

In fact, even without Ariyal's notification through the Church of Nature, the Oak Church and the Ranger Church, as allied camps, had never relaxed their vigilance against the north. In the hearts of the Ranger Goddess, the Lady of New Sprouts, and Philitz, the current Pope of the Oak Church, the culprit who caused Lord Silvanus to slumber was not the human gods, but Corellon Larethian, the elven god who had been hiding in the dark and used the War Tree Besilmer to restrict Silvanus's will from returning to the divine kingdom, and the united elven gods under his command.

Although the human gods had set up conspiracies to destroy the main body of the Father of the Oak, the Oak Divine Kingdom, and were also an important factor in promoting the slumber of the Father of the Oak, now the orc pantheon and most of the gods of the natural pantheon were staring at them, and a large amount of resources in the wilderness were invested in supporting the orc empire.

On the contrary, the elven pantheon in the north now seemed to be aloof from the matter. Seemingly, they didn't have much ambition for the wilderness, but the Oak Church and the Ranger Church, as staunch allies of Lord Silvanus, never believed that the elves were really as they appeared.

Why hasn't Bartrow, the northern high priest of the Oak Church in Maple Leaf Church outside Green Lake Town, left the northern border? It was to keep a close watch on this northern threat.

Although the elves, up to now, haven't taken much action against the wilderness except for the war with the dwarf kingdom, in the process of preventing the elves, the church forces have really noticed other tentacles that want to covet the wilderness.

Not only do the drow plan to return to the surface world by occupying the wilderness, but also the gray dwarves who returned to the surface with the drow, why would they be willing to leave this colorful surface world again?

It's just that compared to the drow, the gray dwarves are actually one with the dwarves in terms of bloodline. Now that the elves are strong, it is not difficult for the dwarves to re-accept the gray dwarves in order to resist the powerful elves, especially in this decades-long war, every sacrifice made by the gray dwarves for the dwarf kingdom can become their bargaining chip for returning to the dwarf kingdom.

As for the drow, who are mercenary in nature, they have no blood connection with the dwarves like the gray dwarves, and at the same time, they have an irreconcilable blood feud with the elves. It is much more difficult for them to return to the surface than the gray dwarves.

A buffer force between the two major forces, one gray dwarf is enough, and there is no need for another force to intervene. After all, every additional force like this not only requires vast land to accommodate the drow's huge population and vassal races, but also their chaotic and evil nature. Even the dwarves cannot guarantee that these guys will not drop the chain at critical moments.

So, in the later stages of the war, the drow have only two options. One is to go back to where they came from. After the dwarf kingdom pays the drow the benefits it promised, it will never allow them to exist on the territory of the dwarf empire.

The other is to stay away from the border between the dwarf kingdom and the elven kingdom, so that it will not pose a threat to the dwarves, and at the same time, it will not be wiped out by the elves who hate them.

And this road, no matter how you look at it, is for the drow to move in the direction of the wilderness. Not only are the drow very clear about the reasons for this, but also the gods of the natural pantheon, how can they not understand?

Even Obad-Hai, the god of nature, who represents the core of the new natural pantheon, is deliberately condoning the drow's footsteps into the wilderness. This is also the real reason why the Church of Nature did not send a legendary powerhouse or above to support this battle. Otherwise, with the background of the Church of Nature, is it really impossible to arrange a demi-god powerhouse or above to help in the battle?

At any rate, the God of Nature is now considered the core deity of the natural pantheon. Among the churches under his command, there are still 4-5 or more demi-god powerhouses.

It's just that Obad-Hai understands in his heart that with the slumber of the powerful deity Lord Silvanus, Obad-Hai, who is now only at the threshold of powerful deity, still needs a long time to set foot on powerful deity. However, the human gods may not be willing to give Obad-Hai this time. As the territory of the orc empire continues to be eroded, the human gods have been forcing the gods of the natural pantheon to enter the arena and truly start a divine war.

At this time, if he can win over the powerful Lolth and the several subordinate gods behind her in the god camp, and the wilderness will also add a powerful drow elf stationed to join the alliance, then the human gods may really seriously consider the consequences of truly starting a divine war and buy time for Obad-Hai to advance to the powerful deity.

However, Obad-Hai, the god of nature, would definitely not dare to make these truths hidden in reality public. He knows better that the real cornerstone of the wilderness is still the huge organization of the Menta Alliance. As a member of the organization, if he wants the drow to set foot in the wilderness, it will inevitably cause the members based in the northern border, such as Snowdown, Raven's Claw, and Aginna, to suffer losses, and even be exterminated as a result, which is extremely possible.

If the God of Nature shows that he doesn't care, or even fuels the destruction of the members of the Wilderness Alliance, then the most important foundation of trust and cooperation in the alliance will inevitably collapse. Finally, the wilderness territory that has been managed for countless years will inevitably return to a state of fighting on their own like dominoes.

After a brief exchange and communication, the three powerhouses also parted ways and began to get busy according to the plans they had agreed upon.
