The war between the Kor elves and the drow elves has been going on for quite some time.
Both of them had casualties on each other, and they both used real fire.
The former has a huge population base and masters many powerful magic technologies and heritage.
Stimulated by this war, the Elf Kingdom of Kor gradually got rid of its previous loose state and became more cohesive and controllable.
Correspondingly, the greatest expenses and consumption naturally need to be borne by the underlying elves.
Their quality of life and comfort have naturally declined across the board, and the various "tasks" imposed on them have begun to be carried out in the name of war and protection.
As for the exploitation and oppression that comes with it, even if they feel it personally, they can easily be deceived, or make it impossible for ordinary Cole elves to resist.
It is difficult to say that the labor force and various resources contributed by the ordinary people of Cole elves, who have made the greatest contribution, have been used in appropriate or correct places.
More importantly, it allowed the elven nobles and the ruling class to have a full meal, allowing them to develop vigorously.
Especially under the huge pressure brought by the drow, the corresponding fighting intensity and huge casualties forced them to focus more on how to win.
But what's interesting is that compared to the "separation" of the Cole Elf Kingdom, which split into families and city-states one after another, the drow troops performed better.
Whether it is the slave warriors sent out to fight or the drow commanders who have accepted various tasks and evil ritual orders, they are all truly desperate.
Not to mention, there is also the Spider Goddess Rose, who governs the beliefs of most drow elves, and provides them with a steady stream of "help".
As for the "return" required for these help, it is often easy to complete on the fierce battlefield.
Therefore, Rose's recovery of divine power is getting faster and faster, and the help she provides to the drow combat troops is getting bigger and bigger.
The Elf Kingdom of Cole, which also had the protection of gods, was at a disadvantage in this regard.
After all, although the divine power provided by the Cole Elf Kingdom is more than that provided by the Drow Elf, the number of gods that the latter has to supply is naturally far greater than that of the former.
As time goes by, the Elf Kingdom of Cole, which has more gods, will naturally gain the upper hand with its numerical advantage.
But before the spider goddess Rose reached the upper limit of her own divine power absorption, she could always maintain such strength.
And will seize this opportunity, strive to increase the upper limit of strength, and quickly become stronger!
Hunting various god clones, and even killing some demigods, can allow him to continue to "grow".
Rose is not a "picky eater" at all and has a very big appetite.
In response to the tyranny shown by him, the gods of the Cole Elf Kingdom also made some traps and preparations.
The two sides had fought several battles, but no one took much advantage.
Then he decided to regenerate his strength and continue to control the Cole elves and the drow elves to fight against each other.
The intensity of the battle between the two sides continued to increase, especially with the intervention of weapons and equipment from the Gulf Territory, it began to become "hot"!
Regarding the bloody fight between the two sides, the Gulf leader who was watching the battle was very calm.
The harder they fight, the more weapons and equipment they order from the Gulf Territory, and the better the Gulf Territory's harvest will be. I wish they could fight until the end of time.
Of course, the Gulf leaders will not relax their vigilance and observation of both of them.
Always paying attention to the changes in the strength of the gods on both sides allows Matthew to calculate how much time the Gulf Territory has to develop.
Maintaining the current combat intensity and sacrifice situation, it will take about 10 years for the elven gods or the spider goddess who has been able to mobilize power from the abyss to display their normal peak combat effectiveness.
Based on the unlimited activation of the Kingdom of God function, it will take more time to carry out various divine power explosions.
10 years is a long time.
It has not taken such a long time since the establishment of the Gulf Territory.
But 10 years is a short time, and the accumulation of divine power can be calculated directly.
If the development of the Gulf Territory is not satisfactory, or simply maintains the status quo, by that time, the Gulf Territory will only be able to cultivate beings with a medium level of divine power at best.
The digestion and absorption of divine power and divinity, and the development and cultivation of various god-level powers require astonishing resources.
Not to mention the Gulf Territory, there are already two gods, and there will definitely be more!
Of course, the Gulf Territory cannot stop moving forward, and its attacks against these two forces will not stop.
At the moment, the two of them are fighting fiercely, and the Gulf leader is focusing on transactions in various technologies.
On the surface, he is deliberately trying to gain resources by playing both ways, but in fact, he is planning to attack both of them!
There are many ways to target the drow, and the Gulf Territory chose the most efficient and deadly one from the beginning!
Let the drow cause division!
Compared with other races, there are many gods to choose to believe in. Among the unlucky and self-degenerated drow, only the spider goddess Rose has the most terrifying control.
Once targeted by the spider goddess Rose, no matter how talented and capable the drow are, they will be integrated into other drows for various reasons.
At most, it can capture more city-states, rule more drow elves and slave armies, and become a powerful drow force similar to Mobletho City.
Basically, at this point, both its pioneers and rulers will be helpless to be wary of "their own people."
The internal fighting among the drow elves is quite frequent and straightforward!
Because of this, the more they resist and struggle, the happier the Spider Goddess becomes!
The entire underground world is the hunting ground and breeding ground of the Spider Goddess. Almost no drow has the energy to escape!
But just almost!
Even the extremely unlucky drow also have relatively kind gods.
That is the dark girl—Eilistraee!
Eilistraee's identity is very special. She is a rare normal existence among gods and their children!
She was also the former daughter of the Spider Goddess, but she was exiled to the underground world and suffered fatal sneak attacks and backstabbing.
Under this situation, the dark girl Eilistraee has been sealed and has not awakened.
It's interesting because of the spider goddess Rose's reign of terror and twisting methods.
Even though almost all drow forces choose to obey, there are still a considerable number of drow who still secretly believe in the Maiden of Darkness.
No matter how much the Spider Goddess sweeps away, this represents the seeds of hope and resistance that always bloom and bear fruit.
The existence of these believers also prevented the dark girl Eilistraee from falling into eternal sleep, and gave her a chance to regain her strength after the arrival of the elemental tide. It's just that although the followers of the Dark Maiden are very steadfast, their number is too small, and their accumulated supplies and manpower are too scarce to affect the overall situation of the entire underground world.
When the spider goddess Rose recovers, she will inevitably clean and process it again, once again cutting off the possibility of the dark girl's recovery.
The emergence of the Gulf Territory and the actions of the Mind Flayer Empire caused huge changes in the situation in the entire underground world.
Especially as the control and influence of the Gulf Territory becomes stronger and stronger, many drow forces have gradually realized that there are other ways to go after cooperating with the Gulf Territory.
The vast majority of the drow city-states and forces did not dare to disobey the awakened spider goddess Rose, and could only express their envy to Sera and other gray elves who had completely escaped control.
But there are also believers of the Dark Maiden, who realize that this is a rare opportunity to revive the Dark Maiden!
Especially through many transactions and contacts with the Gulf Territory, I understand and understand the style of the Gulf Territory.
With the help of the deal with the Gulf Territory, they secretly accumulated a lot of power and won over many drow elves.
But if this is the case, the recovery of the dark girl is still far away.
Divine power and divinity are precious and rare, making it difficult for them to provide trading conditions that satisfy the Gulf Territory.
Fortunately, the main war faction headed by Liya was very courageous, took the initiative to contact the Gulf Territory, and offered a price that the Gulf Territory could hardly refuse - more than 1 million dwarves, gray dwarves, drow elves, and Ko. You are slaves of elves, humans and other intelligent creatures!
The way the Gulf Territory calculates divine power and divinity is quite special, and the transaction conditions offered to other forces are also very exaggerated, at least 10,000 professionals.
Regardless of the talents of these slaves, as long as the Gulf Territory is willing to invest and train them, most of them can be turned into professionals in about 1 to 2 years.
The value they can create, as well as the further benefits brought by subsequent survival and reproduction, are enough for the Gulf Territory to agree to this transaction.
Of course, any transaction involving more than one or two points of divine power and divinity must be approved by Matthew and the Bay Territory management.
Matthew personally agreed to the deal, not only because the price offered by the other party was very generous, but also because he wanted to cause trouble for the spider goddess Rose.
The Dark Maiden, who has been betrayed and hurt many times, and after thousands of years of torture and sleep, will no longer have any illusions about the Spider Goddess Rose.
Even if you don’t think about killing the spider goddess Rose, you can complete a heart-warming revenge.
At least he would be willing to protect more drow elves to prevent them from being controlled and tortured by the Spider Goddess.
Even if the dark girl Eilistraee does nothing, the spider goddess Rose will actively add her to her hunting list.
The Gulf Territory has no intention of killing the "poor" "god", not only because there is not much "reward" for killing the other party.
Moreover, because of the difficulty of becoming a god and the scarcity of gods, the Gulf Territory had to be cautious about such existences.
Yes, the ceremony of enthroning the gods of the Gulf Territory was indeed a complete success, allowing Li Shoutian and Mozi to successfully become the gods of the Gulf Territory.
But it is precisely because of the actual data, actual information records and research that the Gulf Territory can have a deeper understanding of how difficult it is to become a god.
At present, the being with the best talent, the strongest strength, and the most digested divine power and divinity in the Gulf Territory is Elio, who can already fight against divine clones!
Having completely mastered his own demon bloodline, successfully assumed the position of Demon Sealed Swordsman, mastered multiple secret skills of the Eastern Swordsman, and integrated multiple techniques such as the Phantom Sword Master, Elio's strength has reached the peak of the Demigod.
Her combat power on paper has almost reached the upper limit that the material plane can currently accommodate.
But even with such an existence, Elio still only digested 3 points of divine power and 4 points of divinity. There is still a big gap between reaching 5 points of both.
Not to mention the vital power of the godhead, which is the most important factor in completing the ceremony of conferring gods.
This is because gods are rare. When they encounter gods who can communicate and cooperate, the Gulf Territory is naturally willing to establish some friendships.
Matthew personally took action this time and led a large number of elite troops to the underground world.
However, Matthew and the Gulf Leader did not rush directly towards Eilistraee's sealed sleeping place. Instead, they chose a suitable target - the Mind Flayer Empire, which occupied a large area of territory!
The Mind Flayer Empire, which was hit hard by the Gulf Territory in the Netheril Empire and lost a large number of elite troops and strong men, temporarily gave up the idea of continuing to expand and began to enter a defensive posture.
They are ready to digest the occupied territory, quietly survive and develop, and wait for the next round of expansion opportunities.
At the same time, because of the rampage of the Felin Demon Sunflower, they had to conserve their strength and avoid encountering a head-on conflict with each other.
Bay collar picks them to get their hands on.
Not only can it attack the Mind Flayer Empire's sphere of influence in the underground world, it can also liberate a large number of controlled slaves and obtain considerable resources and development sites.
So many tangible gains have already made the Gulf leaders very envious.
Therefore, it is natural for the Gulf Leader to take action this time.
Facing the advance and attack of the Gulf Territory combat forces.
Knowing that they were outmatched, the Mind Flayer Empire chose to retreat to several key fortresses and passes after losing more than 10 cities and fortresses.
They mobilized heavy troops and summoned tens of millions of slave warriors, preparing to turn this place into a dangerous and deadly meat grinder battlefield.
Coincidentally, the Gulf Territory likes this kind of battlefield the most!
The Gulf Territory Combat Force, which conducted research and records, arranged corresponding combat troops and manpower, blocked and controlled the area, and launched a massive and protracted battle.
This naturally attracted a lot of attention from the underground world!
It also provides a cover for the Gulf Territory to find its own allies!
Matthew has quietly arrived at the location of the seal!
It took about two weeks or so.
While controlling the steady expansion of underground forces in the Gulf Territory, Matthew was researching and gaining insight into the specific information and circumstances of this seal.
He soon discovered that this seal was very "interesting"!
It has always maintained the "vitality" of the dark girl and prevented her from completely falling.
Constantly devouring its power and origin, suppressing Eilistraee's recovery!
Such a tangled and twisted seal looks like the handiwork of Spider Goddess Rose!
In other words, as long as Matthew makes a move, the other party will definitely notice it!
If you want to draw the dark girl into the alliance of gods in the Gulf Territory, you must have a fight with the Spider Goddess! (End of chapter)
