The sun god of the Hmek Empire fell in full view and killed three thousand indigenous Hmek Empire troops. This was an absolutely fatal blow to the Hmek Empire. The priests lost their power and prayed without responding to their prayers. The people's hearts collapsed immediately.
The nearly 200,000 HMK Empire's army that confronted the kingdom immediately collapsed, fled, collapsed, and surrendered. Of course, one percent of people also carried out suicide attacks in a wild manner, but such people were of course strangled, and such collapse even spread to the Allied Army of Yamank Kingdom, with chaos and despair boiling.
The heavy military pressure of the kingdom was empty. Whether it was sea and land, the kingdom's legions were roaring forward, and wherever they went, they were like a broken bamboo... If you look at it from a high altitude, the inspiration belonging to Anion immediately spread to nine out of ten areas, and the entire continent had basically fallen into Anion's hands. Only the Yamank Kingdom army, which belonged to the rainforest, retreated desperately to a safe place. The wisdom god Naiyamanko organized a resistance line in the rainforest.
The kingdom's army, even the top leaders of the kingdom, wanted to take advantage of the situation to unify the continent, but God's will made the army stationed only in areas close to the border of the Yamank Kingdom.
"I only now know why Your Majesty issued an order to prohibit attacking." The frustrated Heismen said. He was an elite of the adventurers who were recruited for military service. After four years of hard fighting, he was lucky enough to survive. He was already a level 8 warrior. It was precisely because of his previous experience in adventure that he was sent to this expedition team.
The rainforest is very unfamiliar with the army, and God is not omniscient and omnipotent, so people must be sent to explore to investigate the situation of the rainforest, especially to draw maps.
Among the twelve members of the adventure, there are five warriors, two rangers, two priests, two mages, and one Deyiru, all of which are above level 5, which can be said to be quite powerful, but in the rainforest, they have encountered terrible dangers more than once.
The rivers in the rainforest are small and cannot have huge boats. In fact, a small boat that can accommodate twelve people is already very large for the rivers in the rainforest.
"Yes, look at the swamps along the river, all of these disgusting things." A priest is a half-elf, looking like a girl who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but everyone knows that the priest Hedi Ailu, named Shavr, is already thirty-six years old and has also gone through several wars (although they are all battlefield treatments rather than direct participation in the war), but it seems that he still maintains the girlish mentality.
Everyone looked over and saw that the swamps along the coast were full of dense leeches, which made everyone feel creepy. They had done experiments before. As long as they threw a sheep over, the sheep would be sucked dry by countless leeches in more than ten minutes.
"Abumi hasn't woken up yet?" a soldier asked Shavre.
"Although the magic of removing diseases has been used, this virus is really terrible. It is a disease I have never seen before. Therefore, the effect is poor, but it is not life-threatening, and the situation has been controlled."
"Didn't it mean that the magical technique of removing diseases can remove all diseases?" a mage asked strangely.
"It's not like this. The magical technique of removing diseases can only be said to be effective for many diseases, including most common diseases, but not all diseases. If it is effective for all diseases, then there will be no one who dies of illness and no Talona in the world (Note, this goddess is the goddess of disease and poison). "Shavre looked over with some concern. A holy talisman supported a green light and surrounded a warrior with a gray face: "This disease is very terrible and highly contagious. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise we would all be infected. We knew almost nothing about it. Of course, I will report this to the temple to see how to solve it."
"Don't worry, the gods will find a way to solve it." Another pastor said that if a new disease appears, if the scope is large, the gods will naturally spend time studying it and add the therapeutic effect to the divine arts. Of course, small-scale and uncommon diseases, the gods will not spend their efforts to do such things.
"Yeah, that's all. In fact, when we return to the temple, there will naturally be a higher-level priest who forcibly eliminates the disease. If this is the case, his body will be damaged." Shavr said, and suddenly she saw another priest winking and stopped immediately. Then she realized that she had expressed some of the side effects of the magic technique. This is something that the church does not want ordinary people to know.
"Oh, will there be any harm? Why?" Sure enough, a warrior asked.
Shavr pondered for a moment, and before he could think of a suitable reason, another pastor said sincerely and seriously: "The main reason is that the holy power is too strong, and the body of a mortal cannot bear the too strong holy power."
This sentence made Shavre secretly seep out a little cold sweat. It's a real lie!
"Oh, so that's it, but there's no way. It's worth it to be able to regain a life. We are all qualified to be a civilian knight. We have a small fief when we go back, but don't die here. It's such a pity." This sentence immediately convinced everyone.
"Even if Abermi dies, his son will inherit what he should have inherited." The captain added seriously at this time.
"But people are always dead, and they try every means to fight, and they always have to go back and enjoy for a few years." A warrior said: "His parents, his wife and children, are waiting for him at home. They didn't die in the war, and it's a pity to die now."
"Well, I'm right, but don't talk about this topic. Let's continue, Master, let's release your invisible servant, continue to draw the map, we will go back for another day, don't delay." The captain said as he ordered.
"Yes, captain." The mage said, and he began to release the invisible servant, and then through its eyes to see the surrounding situation - there was no way to rest in the rain forest, where there were terrible things, poisonous snakes, poisonous spiders, even carnivorous vines, and all kinds of wild animals. In this environment, it was best to summon undead creatures, but in such a complex environment, low-level undead creatures did not have enough wisdom to walk in such a complex environment, and golems were even more clumsy and difficult to move.
I used to want to explore it by manpower, but when I got ashore, three people were bitten and poisoned that day. The venomous snake was very toxic. Fortunately, the priest's reaction was also very fast, but one person was still infected. It can be seen that the hardships and cruelty of the rainforest were so we had to retract back to the ship.
Of course, the most terrifying thing is mosquitoes. With just one bite of these slightly toxic mosquitoes, they will be numb and swollen, like a bee sting, and there are thousands or tens of thousands of them rushing up together. Without magic or magic protection, it is not impossible to swollen like a pig overnight.
At first glance, the place you see is nothing but water or trees. If the branches and leaves are too dense, it will be gloomy like a ghostly world. Even the forest ranger feels that it is difficult to move forward, mainly because the forests in other areas are not so perverted.
"How did they live in such an environment?"
"The rainforest is just a barrier, and there are some developed plains inside. It is said that this is the information we have tortured the prisoners we caught."
"That's how to understand, ah, what are you eating today? Everyone?"
"Go to hunt ashore. If nothing else, I will go ashore. If the time is short, there will be no problem. After all, I am a ranger." The ranger said. When the boat approached the shore, he rolled onto the shore. Even in leather boots, he was unwilling to come into contact with those terrible lees. No matter what, the ranger is still a human and will not become a real natural part.
The fifth-level ranger was indeed very strong. He didn't have much time, so he came back with two giant squirrels. He dragged a python behind him and threw all three dead objects onto the boat. He jumped up carefully.
The soldiers all came forward to help and peeled off the internal organs and skin.
"Come on, sprinkle the net, yes, throw all the internal organs and skins." The net with the internal organs was thrown away. There was not much time, and a whirlpool suddenly rolled on the water surface, and a group of fish rushed out and bite... After a few seconds, they pulled the net and pulled dozens of fish.
"This kind of fish is very terrible. I think if a person falls into the water, he will eat it all in a few minutes!" Pastor Chafur said. She had seen a sheep dropping it and it became a skeleton in ten minutes: "However, the fish tastes quite good? Unfortunately, the fish net has been broken much better, and it will be difficult to use in the future."
It is very simple to break the fish net. The fish have very sharp teeth and can bite the fish net. The fish bit the net and jumped on the deck of the ship for a few times and then didn't even look dying. But now the people on the ship will not be fooled. A warrior looked at the place where there was a bit of meat in his hand, sneered a few times, and stretched out his sword. Sure enough, the fish suddenly jumped up and bit the sword body, which made everyone laugh. However, the fish were fish. After ten minutes, they would almost die.
There is a small kitchen on the boat. I cut the fish and washed the fish, squirrels, and snake meat one by one. When there are no impurities, I cut them into slices, put them together and cook them. I put them with salt. There is not much time, and the incomparable aroma spreads.
In the rainforest climate, there is often heavy rain, so the boat temporarily stops moving forward. When the rain passes, the boat begins to sail. The waterways in the rainforest are densely covered, sometimes very narrow. The boats move forward countless times until a secret forest.
"According to the memories of the people I searched last time, there are trees they call the 'Tree of Death' here, and we must go ashore." The mage turned around and said.
"Leave two warriors, one mage, and all the others follow me, and the priest will follow." The captain said instructed, and got on a shore on a beach. The warriors went first, and they walked into the forest with their swords.
The rainforest here may be quiet and peaceful for tens of thousands of years, and everyone follows the warriors ahead. Only the sound of footsteps stepping on fallen leaves and a very unpleasant odor, probably the scent of flooding branches and leaves and corpses. This smell is even harmful to people. However, with the priest, the blessing of a holy power, the damage can be reduced in a short period of time (it is not possible in the long run).
The rainforest is simply airtight. The shade of trees can cover the sky and the sun. In addition to trees, the surroundings are also trees. Rangers are not omnipotent, but they can still identify directions by instinct. Of course, they will not simply rely on the rangers. The mage and the priest will leave marks, so they can go back along the way.
Moss was crawling on the trees, and vines were everywhere. The soldiers were chopping with machetes, and were careful whether there were poisonous snakes or other things nearby. Before they knew it, everyone and sweat came out, especially the mage.
"It's this." What appeared in front of me was a strange tree. The captain stepped forward and carefully cut it. The cut location was filled with white liquid: "This is the tree of death. Its liquid is a very powerful poison. Although magical techniques can be used to treat it, it usually has no time to treat it. Moreover, not every soldier has a priest around. During the war, many of us died on it."
Both the mage and the priest stepped forward, carefully cut a branch, and then put it in the prepared bottle. This is the raw material to be taken back for research. Whether it is magic or spell, it can make the branch grow into a tree.
"Our mission has been completed. Retreat quickly. This is not a good place to stay. If we encounter Yamank people or something strange, we will die." The captain said quickly.
No one was unconventional. They quickly retreated according to the path they came. Although the sunshine in the rainforest was not bright, they could also know the general time. If it remained in it after dusk, it would be very miserable. Many things at night were unprepared for.
When the group finally retreated to the ship, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the sunset was still there, the ship set off immediately without staying in the depths. Before dark, they could leave at least ten kilometers of road, which was also good. The priest who stayed on the ship had activated the magical technique and created a small protection on the ship.
"In such an environment, our army is useless. How many people will die if we have to pass through such a rainforest? Even if we set fire, it will be difficult to burn here!"
"Even if you can set fire, God will not allow it, the elves will not allow it, and the gods will not allow it in nature. Therefore, it will be difficult to do this area in the future." The captain was an officer trained in the army. He said with some emotion: "So, it is a wise choice not to attack for the time being."
Of course, this was only obtained from his own combat experience, and it was limited to war. But in fact, political factors were more important. The territory was doubled at once, and the digestion of nearly ten million people was not a trivial matter. Each tribe had to count, and it became a village, and established administrative areas, dispatched pastors, selected personnel, etc., and could not really stabilize it without fifty years.
The materials saved by the kingdom have also been consumed at a certain critical point. If they continue, they will damage the foundation of the kingdom.
Moreover, the same is true for faith. It is not easy for nearly ten million people to digest it. It must have a fairly stable time to digest it, otherwise it will be cheaper for many foreign churches.
Of course he would not know these things, or, in other words, would not know them clearly.
