Chapter 295 Cruel and Unstoppable (2/2)

The stone old woman held the young child in her arms and staggered to the fallen statue of the god. Then, under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, she recited the "blasphemous words" prepared by the Pope of Eternal Night. In fact, they were just a few simple swear words with little lethality, and were even less effective than the normal communication language in the Zaun region. The only difference was that the target was changed to the stone true god.

These words are not very hurtful, but they are extremely insulting.

Especially since these words were spoken by the people of the Stoneman Empire, it was a great shame for the surrounding believers.

If they can tolerate even this, they are not worthy of being called devout believers.

When the old woman recited the "blasphemous words", the stone man captives around her either closed their eyes and covered their ears, not daring to face the reality; or stared at the bitch who blasphemed the Lord of Mountains and Rivers with murderous eyes, and they wanted to rush forward and kill her directly.

It was just death, but he actually betrayed the great Stone Man Ancestor God. How disloyal he was!

During this time, many stone men couldn't stand it anymore and jumped out directly, wanting to fight to the death and exchange their lives for others.

As for the ending, he was naturally killed easily by the Eternal Night Warrior next to him, his head was chopped off, and then he was transformed into an Undead Warrior by the Dark Magician and joined the ranks of the Undead army.

The elite stone men, who had a complete set of weapons and equipment and were even more powerful, were unable to withstand the attack of the Eternal Night Army, let alone these cowardly stone man captives.

The process of "blasphemy" was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Although there were some twists and turns, it was completed with the help of the Eternal Night Warriors.

After reading the "blasphemous words", the stone old woman closed her eyes and gently stepped on the stone statue in front of her.

Just a light touch seemed to drain all her strength and life. She suddenly became much older, and her whole body exuded a sense of death.

"Very good, you have earned the right to live! Thank the great Lord of Darkness. It is His mercy that allows you to have such an opportunity!" Since he was the first person, Chang Li deliberately said a few more words.

"Thank you, Lord of Darkness!"

Seeing this, the old stone woman could only obey and spoke softly.

never mind.

It has come to this, no matter what happens, it doesn’t matter!

Great Lord of Mountains and Rivers, please forgive your humble servant. I just want to survive.
Soon, someone took the stone old woman to an open space on the other side, where people were already distributing food.

The old stone woman, who had been hungry for several days, silently took the food that originally belonged to them, ate it slowly, and fed it to the stone child in her arms.

"Someone has made the right choice. Now it's your turn. Life or death is entirely up to you!" Looking at the stone man captive who was still hesitating below, Chang Li's eyes were indifferent and his tone was extremely cold.

Not long after, another stone captive stood up and walked towards the statue of the god with his head down.

As a result, more and more "blasphemers" stood up from the group of stone captives who had opened a gap. Between faith and life, they chose life.

If it was when the city was just captured, they were full of passion and might have had the idea of ​​not wanting to die. But after several days of suffering from death, their passion subsided and they became hesitant.

However, if someone takes the lead, it will be like an ant hole to a dam. As the ant hole grows bigger, the dam collapses faster and faster until it is completely destroyed.

More and more stone captives stood up, lowered their heads and walked quickly forward, not daring to look at their companions.

"It's over, it's all over!"

Chang Li watched all this, whispering to himself, his eyes full of mockery.

After watching for a while and seeing that no accidents occurred, Chang Li handed the matter over to a general of Eternal Night and asked him to look after it here.

Several days passed.

In the mysterious space, the duel between gods also ended.

With a loud noise coming from the sky, the Stone Man True God Jim, whose breath was a little weak and whose body was severely injured, broke through the blockade of space and escaped directly.

Without caring about the fortress and believers below, He immediately tore open the space, dived into it without looking back, and disappeared completely.

After a while, Su Xingyu's figure slowly appeared. His eyes were indifferent and he still looked leisurely. The armor on his body was stained with some divine blood, which was the blood of the Stone Man True God. It also exuded a terrifying divine aura.

Even after going through a great battle, there was no change in His aura.

From this we can also see who gained the upper hand in the recent battle between gods.

"After being promoted to a True God, this strength doesn't seem to be that good."

Looking at the rapidly shrinking space crack, Su Xingyu did not chase after it. He just chuckled and sighed.

In fact, the strength of the Stone Man True God is not weak. On the native plane continent, with the blessing of world consciousness, he can probably fight against two or three pseudo-gods.

Compared to before the promotion, this strength can be said to be a huge improvement.

But for Su Xingyu, this is far from enough.

Such strength alone is not enough to fight against Him.

Therefore, in the battle just now, the Stone Man God was beaten very badly. Jim did not think about defeating Su Xingyu, he just wanted to delay him and let the other two companions do the work.

After all, this is a transcendent being who possesses the power of a demigod to defeat a true god. Even if he has been promoted to a true god and has the blessing of his native land, it is impossible for him to be defeated.

but
In his opinion, it is impossible to defeat him, but with the power of a true god, it should not be too difficult to hold back a demigod being.

The result was a slap in the face.

After Su Xingyu got serious, Jim was completely suppressed and had almost no ability to fight back.

If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to give his other two companions more time to destroy the army of believers of the dark god, Jim would have even wanted to run away.

With this thought in mind, Jim managed to hold on for nearly ten days. Not only was his body severely damaged, but even his spirit was polluted by the dark power. It was estimated that he would have to lie in the divine realm to recuperate for the next ten years.

"Unfortunately, there are still too many people. If we can concentrate our strength, we should be able to defeat him." After taking a look at the situation on the battlefields of the other two gods, Su Xingyu muttered to himself with a little regret.

If possible, Su Xingyu would definitely keep the Stone Man God here forever.

Unfortunately, however, even He, after experiencing severe weakening, could not completely destroy a true God who was supported by infinite faith.

The situation in the other two battlefields was similar, with no clear gains. At most, the enemy gods were severely damaged and could not interfere with the battlefield for a period of time. "Forget it, it's pretty good to be able to do this."

Shaking his head, Su Xingyu didn't dwell on the matter too much. Killing the god player directly would naturally be the best option.

Without the interference of the god players, the believers' forces can be said to be vulnerable.

But if I can't kill it, it doesn't matter.

With the strength of the Eternal Night Empire, it would only take some effort and time. By then, they would destroy the cult and kill the god players, and the outcome would be the same.

Just think of it as military training.

After looking at the situation of the fortress below for a while, Su Xingyu sent down some divine light in response to the victory sacrifice held by the Eternal Night Army, and then disappeared again, returning to the Dark Divine Realm.

Fortress of Santander.

The central square.

A grand sacrifice for the gods is underway. Participating in the sacrifice are not only the Eternal Night Army, but also the captured stone men.

After going through many twists and turns and polluting his own beliefs with his own hands, the stone man has now completely given up.

Never mind faith.

As long as I can survive.

After the sacrificial ceremony that lasted for several days ended.

The teleportation gate is still under construction, but the large troops in the rear have already arrived here one after another.

Millions of Eternal Night troops have gathered throughout the Stoneman Empire, and the number of subsequent legions is still increasing.

Although most of them are spontaneously formed servant legions and their combat effectiveness is not as strong as that of regular troops, they are more than enough to deal with the ordinary army of the Stoneman Empire.

Under Chang Li's command, the Eternal Night Army also began the next step of action, or in other words, the real war has just begun.

The territory of the Stoneman Empire is much smaller than that of the Eternal Night Empire, but it is a complete plane continent after all, and can be described as vast and boundless.

It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to completely defeat such a super empire.

Fortunately, this time it is not for conquest, but for destruction.

Therefore, the Eternal Night Empire does not need to follow too many rules this time and can kill as much as it wants.

The Eternal Night Army was divided into several routes. The main force, led by Chang Li, went straight into the heart of the Stone Man Empire and captured those important main cities with strong defenses. The remaining legions decided on their own. They could form a large army to capture other cities, or they could, under the leadership of the legion commander, sweep the surrounding Stone Man tribes and servant tribes.

For a time, almost the entire southern region of the Stoneman Empire was plunged into war.

The army of the Eternal Night Empire and the Stoneman army fought a series of fierce battles here. Needless to say, the result was obvious. Without the support of the city's defense system, the Stoneman army had no power to resist at all.

It is different from the world without supernatural powers, where people can rise up and resist desperately just by giving them a knife or even chopping off a stick and sharpening the front end.

This is an extraordinary world, where the suppression of strength and rank is very severe.

If you can't beat them, then you really can't beat them.

No matter how strong your will is or how fearless you are, it will be of no use.

The prerequisite for fighting desperately is that you can exchange your life for injury. The problem is that most of the stone warriors cannot hurt the Eternal Night Warriors.

If you can't even kill the enemy, then what's the point of fighting?
Corpses littered the fields and rivers of blood flowed.

The subjects of the Stoneman Empire could never have imagined that just a few months ago, they were the attacking party and the empire's slogan was "defeat the alien gods and bring their treasures home." However, not long after, not only were the vanguard troops beaten back, but the alien gods' army also descended on the Stoneman Empire.

All I can say is that things change over time, and this time it changed particularly quickly.

The shadow of death covered every citizen of the empire in the southern region, and an atmosphere of panic spread rapidly. The Eternal Night Cultists who infiltrated the Stone Man Empire also began a series of actions.

They began to gradually spread the word about the bad things about the Stone Man God. If He had not insisted on starting a war, the country would not have been driven back to its homeland today. They also spread the word that surrendering to the Eternal Night Empire would allow one to avoid death and so on. In short, it was a mess. No matter whether it was useful or not, they promoted everything. It was just a matter of talking.

At the same time, the Eternal Night Empire also began to recruit local stone people and convert their beliefs.

These stone men's belief in the 'Lord of Mountains and Rivers' was not devout enough to begin with, and they were almost at the level of shallow believers. Under the tactic of the Eternal Night Empire of using a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, they quickly changed sides and began to secretly serve the Eternal Night Empire.

The entire southern region of the Stoneman Empire was in chaos.

With the gods of both sides gone, facing the offensive of the Eternal Night Army, even with its city defense and the support of world consciousness, the Stoneman Empire was clearly unable to withstand it.

There is a huge gap between the two sides in terms of hard power.

Whether it is magical technology or military officers and soldiers, they are more than one level behind the Eternal Night Empire.

No matter how many strategies you have, facing absolute strength, they will be futile.

Cities began to fall, the temple of the Lord of Mountains and Rivers was destroyed, and the temple believers were slaughtered. Countless people of the Stoneman Empire abandoned their beliefs under the oppression of the evil god believers.

In just a few months, nearly a quarter of the Stoneman Empire's southern border area turned into the 'Land of Darkness'.

Although the empire was still a long way from collapse, the continuous news of defeat still caused the belief in gods throughout the empire to begin to waver, and also forced the Lord of Mountains and Rivers, who was recuperating in the divine realm, to step forward and appease the emotions of the subjects of the empire to prevent the situation from getting worse.

Then they were very decisive and directly abandoned the outer defense line to prevent the Eternal Night Army from encroaching bit by bit. They withdrew the main forces in the periphery and concentrated them in those sturdy main cities, preparing to use the city's defense system to fight the Eternal Night Army in a consumption war.

Although this method is a bit stupid, it has to be said that it is currently the only way for the Stoneman Empire to delay the progress of the Eternal Night Army.

As long as the dark gods do not take action, the stone man army can still resist for a period of time relying on the main city's defense system. Although they are bound to be defeated in the end, it is at least much better than a head-on battle and being wiped out in one battle.

At the same time, Jim also asked for help from the surrounding players, hoping that they could send some elite troops to help him defend the Stoneman Empire.

As for why not ask for help from the other two allies?
Sorry, they can’t protect themselves now.

Even in a one-on-three situation, the Eternal Night Empire was able to firmly suppress the faith forces of the three god players, and did so very easily, seeming to be at ease.
