Chapter 294: Deep Sea Battlefield, Mercy (1/2)

Deep sea world.

Compared with the two main battlefields on land, the deep-sea main battlefield is not only larger in scale, but the fighting is also much more brutal.

Unlike the Eternal Night Empire, which controls almost the entire land of the Eternal Night plane, the Ocean Empire's control over the deep sea world is much weaker.

It’s not that the Ocean Empire dominated by the Dark Naga is not strong enough, but after the expansion of the Eternal Night Plane, the ocean world is too vast, and the management capabilities of the Ocean Empire are of a relatively poor type.

Simply put, they are not good at management.

If we let them manage a certain sea area, or several sea areas, like the affiliated forces on land, then relying on their strong strength, there won't be any big problems.

But managing the entire sea area of ​​the Eternal Night Plane is indeed too difficult.

The vast and boundless Eternal Night Sea is simply beyond the management of the Ocean Empire.

So, they adopted the early method of the Eternal Night Empire and divided the territory.

The Ocean Empire occupies the most fertile sea areas, and then sends dark sea lords to establish kingdoms in other sea areas, and then establishes new large territories under these kingdoms.

Relying on power and faith, he rules over the many sea clan forces in the Eternal Night Sea.

And these ruled sea forces are required to pay tribute to the Ocean Empire every three years to demonstrate their loyalty.

On the surface, the Ocean Empire is doing pretty well, but in reality...

Even they themselves don't know how many affiliated forces they have. The entire ocean world can be said to be in chaos.

That is to say, they are still under pressure from the dark gods. Otherwise, there would be no need for foreign invasion, but a civil war would have broken out among them.

And this is why, until now, they have not completely driven out the invading sea tribe.

The ability to actually control the territory is insufficient.

Of course, this does not affect the Ocean Empire's counterattack.

Let it be messy.

It doesn’t matter. They are all remote areas anyway, far away from the core territory of the Ocean Empire, and there is nothing important there.

Just treat it as a more brutal military training.

The Ocean Empire realized that it was impossible to drive out all the invading sea tribes in a short period of time, so it dispatched a few Naga lords to provide support and asked the local sea tribe forces to form their own legions to cooperate in the encirclement and suppression of the invading sea tribes.

He then started his own counterattack plan, assembled a million elite sea troops and dozens of Naga lords, and launched a counterattack directly against the empire of the sea alien god.

This scene almost broke the defense of the opposing sea player Darren.

This is a damn thing.

Who can tell him why a force of believers dominated by land power can so easily dispatch millions of elite sea tribe troops? ?
This is a bit too much!
According to the original plan, the Dwarf God Albert and the Stone God Jim were supposed to be the main force to launch a fierce attack from land, while Darren would lead the sea clan army to destroy the affiliated sea clan regimes of the Eternal Night Empire, capture those coastal cities, completely block the sea routes, and then transport the two's land armies to the rear of the Eternal Night Empire to cause sabotage.

As a result, they failed to reach the coastal cities of the Eternal Night Empire, and even failed to reach the central part of the Eternal Night Sea. They were intercepted at the border of the sea.

The strength of the affiliated sea clan forces of the Eternal Night Empire in the deep sea world was far beyond Darren's imagination.

He really didn't understand.

Why would a god player who started out as a land power have such a powerful sea clan affiliated force?

This is unreasonable!
The sea tribe armies on both sides, with a total number of more than two million, engaged in an extremely fierce battle at the junction of the seas.

The scale and brutality of the battle can be said to be unprecedented.

The bodies of the sea warriors floated in the deep sea, and the tempting blood dyed the entire sea red, which made the third-party players who were watching the battle couldn't help but tremble.

Damn, are all the sea players so wealthy?

Millions of troops would fight each other at any time.

On one side is the dark sea army, led by 150,000 dark nagas and mainly composed of dark fishmen.

On one side is the regular sea army, led by 200,000 unicorn sharks and composed mainly of many sea warriors.

For other normal players, this is already an extremely terrifying scale, but for the sea tribe forces who have strong fertility and lack civilized order, it is actually nothing.

After all, among the two armies, the real elite of the empire are very rare, accounting for only one or two tenths.

As for the other regular troops.

The brutal competition environment among the sea tribes allows them to continuously recruit capable soldiers.

This naval battle that shocked everyone lasted for half a month, and the deep sea was stained with blood. In the end, the dark sea army won.

There is no other reason, just one simple reason: we have stronger hard power.

The number of high-level extraordinary creatures possessed by the Naga Empire is far greater than that of the Shark Empire controlled by Darren, and the dark sea warriors who have undergone the baptism of the empire's heavy weapons and the trial of the dark temple are also very powerful.

With the two factors combined, even with the blessing of the sea gods, Darren's shark army has no chance of winning.

Perhaps in the development of other aspects of the empire, the Naga Empire is far inferior to the Shark Empire, but in terms of the military, they are still far behind.

Even if Darren showed up in person it would be useless, Su Xingyu's incarnation of death easily intercepted him.

After leaving behind nearly 400,000 corpses of sea warriors, the shark army was completely defeated. It gave up the idea of ​​a head-on confrontation and retreated back to the waters of the Shark Empire, preparing to fight back by taking advantage of its geographical advantage.

It was not until this time that Darren realized that the three of them might have offended the wrong person.

Perhaps in terms of the strength of the gods themselves, those transcendent ones can no longer crush them, but this does not mean that the other party has no way to deal with them.

The gap in the power of believers between the two sides is too big.

There is a gap of several levels. Once these divine players are dragged down, the empire without the support of the gods will have no chance of winning.

The Stone Empire.

Border Fortress Santander, the Eternal Night Army has completely occupied this war fortress.

Without the interference of the Stone Man True God, even with the comprehensive blessing of world consciousness, the gap in hard power between the two sides is still ridiculously large.

So there was no suspense in taking this fortress.

Taking over the fortress meant directly opening the door from the Eternal Night Empire to the Stone Man Empire, which could be said to be a good start in the war of empires.

The city was covered in blood, as if it had been washed by a blood tide. The whole city was filled with a strong bloody smell, which made normal creatures disgusted.

This also shows how fierce the battle just now was.

The Stoneman defenders, who had lost the Stoneman God, did not retreat after the Eternal Night Army attacked, but chose to fight to the death in an attempt to retake the fortress.

Even though they knew that there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides and that there was almost no chance of survival if they stayed, they still made such a decision.

The Lord of Mountains and Rivers was watching them, and even if they died, they would die in the Santander Fortress. The Eternal Night Warriors admired such devout believers, and even though they were enemies, they also recognized the will of the Stone Warriors.

Therefore, in order to show their respect, they chose to burst out with all their strength and kill all the stone warriors who resisted.

The greatest respect for the enemy is to give it your all.

Tens of thousands of stone warriors were killed in the battle, and the Eternal Night Army also suffered tens of thousands of casualties.

It has to be said that this army of stone men still has some strength, especially at the end, when they knew they would die, they specifically looked for those fragile soldiers to exchange their lives, causing considerable casualties to the Eternal Night Army.

But to be honest, it doesn't mean much.

There was no corpse in the fortress at the moment, but instead there were a large number of undead warriors.

Before the army set out, the Eternal Night Empire had already defined the nature of this war.

Unlike previous wars, this one was not a war of conquest or unification, but a war of faith in gods and a war of destruction.

Since it is a war of destruction, we will naturally use all means to destroy the enemy.

In the past, in order to respect their opponents, the Eternal Night Empire would generally give them a dignified death.

They will not immediately cast undead magic to transform enemies on the battlefield into undead warriors, but will send their bodies back to the Abyss of the Dead and place them in the [River of the Dead] to allow them to evolve on their own.

But now, it is natural to concentrate all useful forces.

With the help of the Dark Magic Legion's advanced technology and various necromancy treasures, these undead warriors managed to maintain 60% to 90% of their strength in life.

In other words, after this battle, the overall strength of the Eternal Night Army not only did not decrease, but instead increased significantly.

The Eternal Night army, which captured the fortress, did not rush to advance, but began to build a teleportation gate and repair the fortress. It was obvious that they were ready for a protracted war.

After finishing a series of more important matters.

Chang Li and a group of generals came to the large square in the center of the city. The stone statue of the true god that originally stood in the center of the square had been taken down and placed aside. For some reason, it had not been destroyed yet.

The spacious square seemed a bit crowded at the moment, after all, it held hundreds of thousands of stone captives.

As Chang Li and others came over, the looks of the surrounding stone men became extremely complicated, with anger, unwillingness, hatred, but more of it was anxiety and fear.

Having experienced the war of gods, they knew very well what other believers of gods would do to believers of foreign gods.

Kill!
They will slaughter all believers of foreign gods!

"Did you see what happened to them? The war between gods is so cruel, so we must not lose, otherwise those imprisoned here might be our brothers and sisters, parents, wives and children." Chang Li looked at the stone man captive who was curled up in fear, and a complex light flashed in his eyes, but he soon became firm and said to the general next to him.

"We will not lose. With the protection of the gods, no alien gods can be our opponents! We will defeat all enemies, and my Lord will become the king of the gods!"

"The Empire will not fall until I fall!"

"I'd rather die than lose!"

The generals around him glanced at the surrounding stone men, saw the fear in their eyes, and a hint of pride flashed across their faces.

We will not lose, at least not before we die, failure will not fall upon us.

Chang Li's eyes flickered, but he didn't talk much about this topic. He just expressed some emotion just now.

He leaped up onto the platform where the statue was originally erected.

The stone man captive below suddenly became angry and gnashed his teeth, wishing he could rush up and fight to the death with this guy who blasphemed the gods.

"You don't have to look at me like that. This is a right that belongs exclusively to the victor."

Looking at the angry eyes of the stone men, Chang Li smiled and didn't care at all. He smiled faintly and said: "Originally according to my intention, I should kill all of you and convert you into undead warriors. This will not only save a lot of trouble, but also increase the strength of our army." He spoke the horrifying words in a gentle tone.

"But the God Church did not agree. Thank the great dark gods! If it were not for the mercy of our Lord, all of you pagans would have died here today!"

Ignoring the doubts of the stone captives, Chang Li's expression turned cold. He shouted to the stone captives below, "Now, I'll give you a chance to live."

"Everyone step forward, step on the statue of the alien god, and read the words on the paper aloud, and obey."

Before he could finish his words, several figures suddenly appeared from below.

"Damn invaders, forget it."

"Don't listen to him, we are not afraid of death!"

"The great Lord of the Mountains and Rivers will always protect us."

They shouted loudly and rushed towards Chang Li quickly. However, before they could get close, the Eternal Night Warriors who were standing beside them to watch over them moved.

The long sword is unsheathed.

Cold light flickered.

shhhhh--

Heads flew up one after another, blood gushed out, and the "red carpet" in the square, which had dimmed a little, was once again covered with a layer of bright blood color.

The headless body ran forward a few steps and slowly fell down.

Several dark magicians stepped forward, chanting spells. The corpses and flesh began to wriggle. After a while, several headless undead warriors slowly crawled up and walked towards the undead army in the distance.

"Gulu——"

A trace of fear flashed in the stone man prisoner's eyes, and he swallowed subconsciously.

"Those who obey will live! Those who disobey will die!"

Chang Li's voice was heard, not loud, but it appeared in the minds of all the stone man captives.

"Now, if you want to survive, step forward and start lining up!"

After saying that, Chang Li said no more, looked ahead with indifferent eyes, and did not urge anyone.

After a long while, there was silence at the scene. Just as the eyes of the Eternal Night Warriors gradually became cold, a stone captive finally stood up. She was an old woman with a young child in her arms.

Under the piercing gazes of the stone captives, she slowly stood up and walked towards the statue of the Stone God.

"you dare."

When she was halfway there, another figure suddenly jumped up from the side and pounced on the old woman. The stone woman looked terrified, but the attacking figure stopped when it was still five meters away from her.

"Do you really think I don't exist?"

The high-level magician next to him sneered and flicked his fingers. The sturdy stone man's body became hard and his eyes dimmed instantly.

"continue."
