Chapter 652 Chao Ming
The sound transmission stone gradually shattered. Kelben Blackstaff stared at the powder in his hand, then swept it aside. He squinted his eyes and looked out the window. This famous legendary mage had a strong figure and a pair of bright eyes. God, but at this moment, his eyes were shining with uneasiness.
Inquisition.
This was not the first time Kelben heard this name. Before that, he had heard about the Tribunal from the divine knight of Tyr. At that time, Emilia also asked Kelbourn if He knew about this organization, but Kelben also knew nothing about the existence of the Inquisition.
This is actually very rare, because Kelben was once a member of the Harpers Alliance. Although he left the Harpers Alliance and established his own organization, Kelburn still thinks that he is quite good at intelligence networks. of.
However, even so, he had never heard of such an organization.
Just by listening to Emilia's description, Kelben could confirm that the Tribunal was a human supremacist organization—this kind of organization was extremely rare in the main plane. As mentioned before, humans do not have their own patron saint, and most of the gods that humans can believe in also communicate with other races, so the Tribunal cannot be a clerical organization.
Only some mage organizations may have such rules, but according to Emilia's description, the inquisitor is obviously not a mage - well, he seems to have said that he is a mage?
It's a pity that I couldn't meet him before.
Kelben sighed slightly. To be honest, there are countless strange organizations in the continent of Faerûn. The Tribunal is not the strangest among them, but it is definitely the most daring he has ever seen - just by going deep into the darkness. The region has even started a war between drow elves, and they are going to be exterminated. Anyone who hears this kind of thing will be extremely horrified.
After all, everyone can tell lies, and fanatical beliefs may even drive some clergymen to take the initiative to go to the ninth level of hell to "save" those devils. But being able to actually do what you say is another matter.
What exactly does the Inquisition do?
What did they do?
Kelben had countless questions, but now he could only suppress his inner anxiety and wait for his nephew, Emilia and his group to return safely.
If the Inquisition could really completely destroy the drow, Kyle could be sure that this would become the biggest news on the continent.
Not one.
For the drow, this is obviously not good news.
Six cities have fallen.
The drow have never been so nervous as they are now. The angry roar of the Spider Queen echoes in their minds, and the cities that have lost contact make them panic. Ever since the drow entered the underground, they had never encountered such a dangerous situation.
The drow have built a total of twelve cities underground. These cities are only related to each other because of their proximity, but now half of them have fallen, so much so that the drow elves have become less firm in their belief in the Spider Queen. ——After all, the reason why drow believe in the Spider Queen is because she can protect drow from surviving in the Underdark. However, now it seems that the Spider Queen has lost her divine power.
Maybe—those rumors are correct?
Isn’t what they believe in the real Spider Queen?
With this suspicion, it is difficult to continue to suppress it. The drow society is already full of conspiracies and tricks. The Queen of Gods failed to show her powerful power in the face of the rebellion, which made some families gradually begin to have doubts. Of course, those are some small families at the bottom of the list, and they do not yet have the power to influence the entire city.
But... rumors spread wider than anything else.
Because of this, when the first mistress of Bernast saw the door of her temple open, and a woman with a black body and eyes burning with fire striding in, she was almost so frightened that she couldn't help herself, and rolled from He fell off the throne and trembled in front of the drow.
"I will never forgive this stupid betrayal! So here I am!"
The saint of Rose gritted his teeth and was extremely angry. The power of the gods in this world comes from the power of faith, whether it is a racial god or a professional god. Duanmu Huai was not only massacring the drow elves, but also spreading lies to shake their faith in the Spider Queen. This was simply murderous and heartbreaking, and of course Rose could not endure it any longer.
Perhaps the gods in Paradise Mountain will still help each other, but the demon lords of the Abyss have no sense of companionship. If they realize that Rose is no longer powerful, it is difficult to imagine whether they will try to turn Rose into a Just grill the spider and eat it with some salt and dipping sauce.
So Rose had no choice but to come and take the risk.
Otherwise she will be dead!
"Bernast, Kyle Nari, Subon... I want all believers from the remaining six drow cities to gather here. We want to completely eliminate those ignorant idiots here and let them know The price of confronting the Spider Queen!”
The saint of Rose stared at the trembling first mistress in front of him, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
"And, I will give you a sacred ritual, and you will understand that the power of the Spider Queen is irresistible!"
"Yes————!!"
At this moment, the only answer the First Mistress could make was this.
The Spider Queen's will cannot be disobeyed.
Soon, the armies of the drow elves from the remaining six cities set off. Of course, this was not all smooth sailing. Every drow knows how dangerous this war is. If possible, they also hope to make some preparations so that their family can continue. However, the Spider Queen's oracle cannot be disobeyed. She requires all drow families to take their priests, soldiers and slaves to Bernast, the drow city that will become the next battlefield. .
When Fairy arrived at Bernast with her army, what appeared in front of her was a fortress armed to the teeth.
Tens of thousands of slaves stood outside the city wall holding weapons, and the city wall was covered with drow soldiers holding bows and crossbows. Even the maids of the Spider Queen, the Waxmelt Demon, appeared from both sides. He put on a posture of wanting to fight the betrayer to the death. This scene alone is enough to make many intruders stop and feel terrified.
However, this did not include Fairey's army.
The drow, who had gone completely crazy, did not care about the huge army on the opposite side. Their bodies and spirits had already succumbed to the will of the old gods and became indescribable monsters and servants of the past. The huge blood moon, like a giant jellyfish, was suspended behind Fairy. Their tentacles, formed by the transformation and condensation of the corpse, were shaking constantly at the moment, eager to taste the next delicious meal.
What on earth is that?
Looking at the army in the distance, even the saint of Rose was temporarily distracted. Even in the bottomless abyss, she had never seen such a weird and twisted flesh and blood product, not even the most evil demigod lich. Will create such a twisted and indescribable disgusting existence!
What is your enemy?
The saint of Rose suddenly realized that she seemed a little rash, because until now, she had no idea who the other party was and why he wanted to attack Drow. She was sure that the crazy drow priest was being manipulated by something, but what was it?
In fact, it is not that the drow did not try to find out. Many families sent spies, or some small families even pretended to rebel against the Spider Queen, fled the city and went to Feierri, trying to figure out the source of her power and the truth behind her. What on earth is it.
But none of them came back.
The same goes for the drow who fled during the battle. Ogis and Qiwei floated outside the defense line like ghosts, killing every fish that slipped through the net - just like they did at the gate of the underground dwarf city. as done.
Standing on the city wall at this moment, looking at the terrifying army outside that was so weird that even Rose could not imagine, this question was so intense.
Elves are actually not good at attacking tough battles, and the same goes for drow. They prefer to use the dark enchantment to obscure the enemy's sight and launch attacks from behind. But it's too late now. This battle is imminent and must be launched. And this will be a battle that will decide the fate of the drow.
Saint Rose clenched her fists and shook her head. Then she turned around and looked at the First Matron.
"The ceremony begins now."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Saint Rose's words, the First Matron was stunned.
"But the battle has not yet begun..."
"Now, do it immediately."
Saint Rose interrupted the First Mistress coldly. She knew what the First Mistress wanted to say. According to the original plan, they should hold a ceremony after the battle started, because this ceremony required a large number of drow elves. The souls of the drow who died in the battle will be absorbed into it and the ritual will be completed.
But Saint Rose did not tell the First Matron that in fact... there had been no souls of drow elves from the main plane in Rose's domain for a long time.
This is obviously a very strange thing. Logically speaking, the souls of all Rose's believers will go to Rose's world after death, not to mention that many drow elves died in the previous cruel battles, but Rose Silk barely saw many souls enter her realm.
Did that opponent even take away the souls of his own believers?
Now Rose really couldn't bear it anymore.
Everything the other party did was very obvious... it was for him.
Then, there is only one thing she can do.
"……………………!!!"
The First Matron raised her hands and began to chant loudly, while the other priests also raised their hands. They surrounded the drow elves preparing to fight in the inner city, and praised the great power of the Spider God Queen in unison. In this regard, the drow did not feel any problem at first. It was almost a standard procedure to pray for the Spider Queen's gift before fighting.
But soon they felt something was wrong. This time the chanting time was too long, and the rich, evil and powerful power was condensing and gathering. They felt that their breathing began to become rapid, their heartbeats accelerated, and the shadow of death It was silently covering each of them.
Then they fell.
Thousands of the most elite guard warriors from various families fell at this moment, falling under the magic of the Spider Goddess they believed in. Immediately afterwards, the evil, bright red magic circle quietly emerged. It greedily absorbed the souls of the victims and erupted in waves of shocks.
"Oh?"
Standing behind Feierui, Duanmuhuai raised his eyebrows and looked at the huge fortress in the distance.
It seems that Rose finally couldn't bear it anymore.
This kind of fluctuation is not unfamiliar to Duanmu Huai. He can feel that the barrier between subspace and the real world is becoming weaker, and a large amount of soul power pours into it, tearing apart the wall that originally separated the two worlds. , a huge ring of fire appeared out of thin air, and then, a spider elf dozens of meters tall, with a drow upper body and a spider below the waist, walked out of it. She held a snake-head whip in her hand, and her eyes sprayed. Out of angry flames.
"Who on earth dares to offend me...! Get out of here!!!"
Rose, the patron saint of the drow elves and the Spider Queen, glared angrily at the army in front of her and roared loudly.
