Chapter 653: Opportunity or Trap?(1/2)
"They are too impatient..."
The same conversation was also taking place in the council hall of King Kalidir on Moon Shadow Island.
Alicia II Edwina, who was also the former Queen of the Sword Coast, Alisa, was standing in the white stone tower of the royal court, looking at the Moon Shadow Island fleet sailing away from the coastal port, and tried to analyze:
"Even if the drow captured Eternal Gathering Island, it would be impossible to digest such a huge amount of loot and convert it into combat power in just half a year.
"If we only rely on the fleet of magic ships that we captured from the high elves, once they leave the scope of the Mystery Lock of Evergathering Island, they will never be able to match the navy of our Moon Shadow Island and Jishui City."
This is because they have a relatively conservative character. To be precise, based solely on paper data and sea power, the opponent may not even be able to defeat them, Yueying Island.
Times have changed, and perhaps the magic of the high elves is indeed profound, but today on the Sword Coast, ever since Levi used a Dreadnaught to pierce the deep-sea monster coalition in the Sword Sea a hundred years ago, the Northland coalition has used a small amount of force in the Sword Coast to
After the armored ships and griffin clusters completely annihilated Luskan's armada, they had already entered the era of ironclad ships and magic cannons ruling the sea.
"So..." The chief priest on the side looked thoughtful.
Alyssa looked solemnly and said:
"Although I don't have much dealings with drow, Kevin knows them very well. The drow are a group of evil races who are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. And once they start an action, no matter what the probability of success is, at least their purpose is extremely clear.
.
"I don't know what their purpose is, but since they have adopted such a fierce attack posture, they must have their trump card.
"Pass the order, don't take the initiative to approach the drow fleet, go directly to Jishui City, just to ensure that when they prepare to attack, they can use the superior shooting range to maintain blockade and deterrence.
"Once a war breaks out, our fleet will be able to maintain suppressive firepower against potential land raids.
"Aren't they going to negotiate with Jishui City?
"Then wait for them to talk!
"What purpose and conspiracy they have, part of it should be exposed when the time comes.
"With the integrated communication efficiency of our Northern Magic Network, we can completely rely on efficient military dispatch and a more advanced armored fleet...
"Come crush them!"
"I will comply with your will." Looking at Her Majesty the Queen who was talking eloquently, the chief priest from Quines Island, and even the ministers of Yueying Island around them all showed expressions of relief.
The little female leopard who was fostered in the Iron Castle finally grew into a mature queen...
Unexpectedly, Her Majesty the Queen's expression suddenly changed, as if she had suddenly changed into a different person:
"By the way, it's been so many years and you haven't captured the prince yet?
"We have only completed less than one-tenth of the important task of strengthening Alicia's royal bloodline."
All the ministers of Yueying Island were stunned, and then looked around to talk to him.
Just kidding... Sir Kevin... that's the brother of the new Magic Goddess!
If he doesn't come back on his own initiative, who of them would dare to arrest him by force?
The chief priest thought for a while and said:
“With Prince Kevin’s temperament, if Kishui City is in crisis this time, he will most likely be involved.
"Marshal Medney and he are old acquaintances... Do you want to..."
Surprisingly, Alicia II shook her head and said:
"Let this crisis pass first, and then let Marshal Medni tell him...
"The kids and I... miss him."
Everyone was silent.
...
At the same time, Levi, who had just held his wedding at the Bronze Fortress of Avernus, was about to take the shy little female dragon to enjoy their two-dragon world. An unexpected family member stopped in front of them with an uneasy expression.
.
"Tiberius...Sir, I'm sorry to bother you at this time! But just now, I received a very important message...from...over there." See Sean
The seventh Cromwell reported with a solemn expression.
Li Wei's expression moved slightly, of course he knew what this meant.
Ever since the Cavans used their terrifying proliferation rate to pierce through the underground realm of the bloody battlefield and began to dig deeper into the abyss, information communication between hell and the abyss has become possible, and its transmission efficiency is even
Much higher than hell and the main material plane.
So the side Cromwell was pointing to was naturally the abyss.
To be precise, it should be the 66th layer of the Bottomless Abyss, the Spider Demonic Web.
So she turned to Xia Lanwei Luosi who had also had a premonition and nodded slightly. Miss Steel Dragon showed an understanding and considerate look and went back to the castle first.
After Xia Lanwei Luosi left, Li Wei looked at the king who once ruled the Western Continent of Corel and said in a deep voice:
"You can say it now."
He was not afraid that Xia Lanwei Luosi would know, but that she would be worried.
At this time, Cromwell was heard saying:
"Ashani sent me news that she and the drow elves in the Spider Web have lost contact with Rose at the same time. Rose no longer grants spells and no longer responds to priests' prayers. Some drow even thought that they
The gods completely abandoned them, so much so that they conducted strict sacrifices and performed atonement rituals, but they did not receive any response from Rose. Only the power of faith was constantly being devoured, which made Zhuo
The elves are becoming more and more frightened and praying almost fanatically."
Xia En VII said this, his tone paused, and his expression suddenly became a little excited:
"Lord! Many signs have shown that Spider Queen Rose has fallen into an inexplicable sleep!
"Are we... going to take action!?"
Although he had been prepared for this moment, when it came to the end, Levi still fell into a brief silence.
My thoughts couldn't help but go back to the meeting with Xia En VII when I first returned to the territory a year ago.
Cromwell's journey to the Abyss to find his family was undoubtedly a failure in terms of purpose.
Although he successfully met his daughter, as a high-level necromancer, he was unable to take her out of the bottomless abyss and out of the pit full of spiders.
He never thought that after Asani was thrown into a certain death plane by the ancient blue dragon Aiweikelazaglan, in those long years, she would step on countless corpses step by step and become that plane.
The Queen of the Dead...
As a result, he was attracted by the Spider Queen Rose, and after some conspiracy, he became the subordinate of the Pit Demon Web God System under Rose. Like Silventam, the patron saint of drow warriors, he was bound by the spider web from then on.
God——Qi Yawensari, the immortal goddess of revenge.
All this time, Asani, or Qiyawensari, has never forgotten her deep-seated hatred for Ivicolasagran, but she was designed by Rose, but from then on she could only succumb to Rose and serve the Spider Queen.
.
Qi Yawensari was naturally unwilling to accept this, but as a god at that time, she had no choice but to secretly instigate some small resistance to vent her hatred, and fought with the lich god Vesalun.
Mara, the god of hunting, and Velen, the god of conspiracy, formed a loose alliance, hoping to wait for the opportunity to overthrow Lolth's rule in the Pit Web and take revenge on her.
And now...this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...has finally arrived.
But the problem is...
Is this an opportunity?
Or... a deadly trap!
Whether it is Levi, Cromwell, or Qiyawensari, there is no way to judge.
There is no doubt that Spider Queen Rose is a difficult opponent in every aspect.
Before the Saint Catastrophe, Rose was limited by her divine power and was only a god with medium divine power.
After Li Xiu corrected the rules, some of the opponents that she once feared were eliminated. However, Rose relied on her control over the pit magic network and the countless drow and abyss monsters in the magic network.
Instead, it has become one of the most difficult entities to deal with today.
According to the information and various signs obtained from Tire and Vol'jin, Rose has successfully swallowed and controlled the corrupt power from the fallen god Moando! And during the Turbulent Years, she absorbed its power as the fallen god Moando.
Believers in the main material plane and the power of faith.
Just like... after her husband Corellon took away all her divine power and turned her into a spider monster and kicked her into the abyss, she still managed to turn around through conspiracy to plunder the divine power and filthy territory of Ghaunadur, the god of ooze monsters.
Let me ask, would such a scheming and unscrupulous being take the initiative to expose such a fatal weakness to her enemies?
More importantly, neither Qiyawensari nor her group of loose allies can be trusted in Li Wei's view!
For example, Velshalon, the Lich God, is said to have been a defected red-robed mage when he was still a mortal. Later, he received the guidance of Talos during his research, and followed the methods taught by the Storm King.
He was promoted to a god. But he soon understood that the Storm King just wanted to create a servant of the god that could be driven and exploited. For this reason, he asked Azuth, the mage god, for help and formed an alliance, and through Mystra
His help prevented the revenge from Talos. However, he later reconciled and re-allied with Talos privately, and began to show his favor to Shar, the goddess of the night, but in name he still served Azuth.
Until the saint's catastrophe came, Mystra fell, and Azuth disappeared. This vain, selfish, narrow-minded, and duplicitous Lich God hooked up with Rose and Qiyawensari respectively, trying to take advantage of the abyss.
Strength restores itself to lost strength.
As for Mara, the God of Hunting, and Velen, the God of Conspiracy, they were both failed dogs who planned to overthrow Corellon's regime with Rose.
