Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 334: The Fall of the Goddess
Compared to before, Levi and his team were much more cautious this time. Helicopters, giant eagles, surveillance sub-airs, wind elements, female hunters, etc. were all sent out.
The three Amazon sisters also led the team personally to conduct a full-scale reconnaissance, avoiding all the indigenous people and God's chosen heroes on the road, and secretly went to the City of Thorns.
Then they were very surprised to find that what they were doing seemed a little redundant because there were almost no people on the road at all.
In the past, followers of Cyric would frequently fight with followers of Bane. Followers of Mask, the god of thieves, would also frequently go to Silvertown and its surrounding villages, always looking for opportunities to strike.
Even though they don't dare to directly attack members of the Church of Wealth most of the time, there are still so many businessmen in Silver Town.
But the abnormal calmness on the road now is enough to explain something.
The Church of Cyric must have joined forces with the Church of Mask, and they really have ambitions for the other two towns!
This discovery excited all of them, because if this conspiracy was planned by the Church of Xirik from the beginning, and the current unrest in Silver Town was also instigated by them, then they would definitely move into the most advantageous position for them as soon as possible, which is the periphery of the two towns.
In other words, Thorn City is most likely an empty city now.
Because no matter how much conspiracy there is, the Xirik Church is not strong enough to take down two cities with only part of its forces. They must come out in full force!
But at this time, Levi became calmer and asked everyone to be more careful and cautious.
Right now, it's only the Bane Church that's attacking Silver Town, and the Cyric Church is still hiding in the dark. If they act rashly now, the other side will most likely send reinforcements immediately.
By then, it is very likely that both they and the Church of Xirik will suffer heavy losses, while the Church of Bane will defeat the Church of Wealth in one fell swoop and occupy Silver Town. Then all their plans will fail, and the situation here will be reversed in an instant. The Church of Bane will no longer give them any chances.
They might be forced to withdraw from here along with the Church of Fortune and the Church of Xirik.
So he must choose the best time, a time when the Church of Xirik has no time to care about the City of Thorns!
So under Levi's order, they quickly hid in a large forest less than 10 miles away from Thorn City, and dispatched more scouts, and urged Chen Zhui, the last world, to help with reconnaissance and vigilance.
The combat capability of ordinary gnolls is not outstanding, even the mutant species from the Abyss is just so-so, but their keen sense of smell may reveal some details that ordinary people cannot notice.
Levi also constantly sent inspectors to monitor Yakong, placing one in the dark every few miles.
In this way, once any special situation occurs, through their unique messaging skills, he can obtain intelligence from more than ten miles away within a few seconds and thus grasp the overall situation.
In the process, they gradually learned why the war broke out in Baiyin Town.
Because part of the city defense force of the Church of Wealth, including the indigenous people and the chosen heroes, have been secretly instigated by the Church of Bane.
When a large number of mercenaries went to attack the territory of the Bane Church, the Bane Church had already lurked in Silver Town. Finally, with the help of internal and external forces, they successfully opened the city gate and occupied several important places.
Several high-ranking members of the Bane Church, who were originally wanted by the Church of Wealth for a large sum of money, have now successfully entered the city.
However, the Church of Wealth is not completely powerless to fight back. When there is a huge reward, there will always be brave men. Those troops that have not betrayed them are fighting desperately.
And although the temple of the Church of Wealth looks magnificent and seems very fragile, in fact all the materials they used to build the temple are the best building materials, and a large amount of magic and divine arts are used to strengthen it from the inside out, so it is essentially an unbreakable fortress, a city within a city.
At present, both sides are engaged in a very fierce battle and killing over the Temple of Wealth. As for the Sigma Temple and the small garden given to him by Larue, which Levi was a little worried about, they have not been affected by the war for the time being.
Because they are all notoriously poor people in the city, and they won't get anything if they are defeated. Besides, no matter how poor they are now, there are still gods behind them.
The powerful Bane Church may not care, but it doesn't have to.
Bane is lawful evil, and his followers are not brainless lunatics. They often act out of self-interest.
This also made Cindy and Simon feel a little relieved. If the members of the Church of Sigmar died because of this, they would feel guilty for a long time, because they actually had the ability to go to rescue them. Now this is the best thing.
At the same time, Levi also discovered something unusual in Thorn Town. The city gates were closed in broad daylight, and the city walls were covered with all kinds of soldiers. Isn't this just a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt?
Otherwise, given the arrogance of the Church of Xirik, they will never close the city gates unless the Church of Bane is at the gates!
However, he still ordered everyone to continue waiting. The more urgent the moment, the more patient they should be.
So they waited for several hours.
The battle in Silver Town is still going on, and mercenaries affiliated with coming back to reinforce, trying to attack the Church of Bane from both sides.
But they defeated because the Church of Bane still had hidden power.
The leader was no stranger either, it was the Legion of Terror led by Maltis. She had now completely surrendered to the Church of Bane , or maybe she was originally one of them.
The ordinary infantry in the Legion of Dread are all level 3, and the cavalry are a mixture of levels 4 and 5, with a total strength of over a thousand. In addition, there are a small number of priests, dark guards, and mages sent by the Church of Bane. Such a force is simply not something that ordinary God-chosen heroes can resist.
In her first battle, Maltis directly defeated several God-chosen heroes, a total of more than two thousand troops, and then she began to lead the army to carry out a sweep.
Judging from her marching route, she clearly intended to defeat all hostile God-chosen heroes along the way, and take back all the villages that had been lost before.
Upon hearing this, Alyssa, who was originally from the Snake Cult, was somewhat surprised. She did not expect that Maltis had such an identity.
If she had not defected, but chose to stay in the Snake Cult and establish a relationship with Maltis, with her ability and wisdom, she might have had the opportunity to become a high-ranking official in the Bane Church.
But it’s not bad now. Although Lord Levi’s power is much inferior to that of the Bane Church, he is in the early stages of his business and needs more talents, so he is also very generous.
She is confident that she is definitely a talented person. As long as she is loyal enough and demonstrates her abilities, she will have a bright future.
At least now Lord Levi has noticed her talents and abilities. Not to mention all kinds of magic and equipment, she even got the unicorn mount that countless little girls have only heard of in fairy tales, something she had never dared to imagine before.
And if she really joined the Church of Bane, it would be absolutely impossible for her to get it. Unicorns will not associate with evil.
Compared to his subordinates who started to have wild thoughts or were simply in a daze because of boredom, Levi's heart became more and more nervous.
Because up to now, there has been no movement from the Church of Xirik, what are they waiting for?
If it was later, when Maltis wiped out all the chosen heroes and the Church of Bane was able to gather its strength to besiege Silver Town, it would be difficult for the Church of Cyric to act.
At this moment, there was a sudden explosion in the sky, and then a huge fireball appeared, as if a small sun had appeared.
Before Levi and the others could react, the newly appeared little sun exploded and turned into countless fragments carrying light and heat, flying in all directions.
Then another huge black sun appeared, like a whale sucking a river, swallowing at least 70% of the fragments before disappearing.
The remaining fragments suddenly disappeared while flying, making it impossible to determine where they ended up.
Levi suddenly had a bad premonition. It was hard for him not to associate the black sun with Xirik, known as the "Dark Sun"!
Sure enough, the next second, the system prompt sounded.
"The Prince of Lies, Xirik, worked with Mask, the God of Thieves, who transformed into the God-killing Sword, to successfully kill the real body of the Phantom Goddess, Leila."
"Lila's kingdom of God completely collapsed. Cyric successfully seized Lyra's priesthood - illusion. Cyric successfully merged Lyra's priesthood - fraud. Cyric successfully seized most of Lyra's divine fragments, divine power and divinity, etc."
"Mask successfully seized Leila's priesthood - the Mist (part), as well as a small portion of the godhead fragments, divine power, and divinity, etc."
"Lila's priesthood - Phantom, was completely shattered, and fell into the main world along with a small amount of fragments of the godhood."
"Because of the reminder from the believers, Leila made some preparations in advance. She may be reborn in the main world as a saint."
"Since only (part of) the Mist priesthood remains, and the godhood and power have dropped to the lowest point, the types, quantity, and strength of the divine arts that Leila can bestow upon the priests have been greatly reduced, and the levels of all priests who believe in Leila will decline to varying degrees."
"Because of her participation in this war of killing gods, Leila angrily declared war on Mask, and the forces of both sides entered a state of war."
After reading this series of system prompts, Levi felt that he seemed to understand what the Xirik Church was waiting for. Perhaps they were just waiting for the moment when their god would win.
Having killed a god with his own hands, Xirik's power and self-confidence will expand unprecedentedly. If his believers pray devoutly at this time, will they receive additional blessings?
The answer is of course beyond doubt!
However, since Xirik could even tell his believers such things, should we say that he is confident enough, or that his intelligence is too inadequate?
As for Leila, she was much more miserable than the Lich God, Visharoon, who was beaten up .
Only the body of Visharoon was killed and the kingdom of God collapsed, but he still retained his complete priesthood. As long as he was given enough time, he might still be able to rebuild the kingdom of God.
But Leila, who only has some of the Mist priesthood left, is really of no use. I'm afraid that except for some fanatics, even her devout believers will be shaken, right?
Moreover, as she is at her lowest point in strength, she will also become the prey of many powerful legends and demigods, and the evil gods may also be tempted.
No matter how weak or broken her mist priesthood was, it was still a priesthood after all. Once a demigod obtained it, he immediately had the possibility of becoming a true god.
The only thing to be thankful for is that, apart from the current Cyric and Mask, she had been a nobody before and had no enemies to speak of. This is a little better than Visharoon, who has enemies everywhere.
But if you really have to say who will die first between the two of them, Levi would still choose Leila.
There is no way. Even if he removes his identity as a god, Visharoon is still an extremely terrifying lich.
But Leila, I heard that she was an illusionist and a thief before she became a god. Now she is an enemy of Mask, and there is only one illusionist left. She has no fighting power at all...
Sighing like this, Levi prepared to continue sending new scouts. If nothing unexpected happened, the action of the Xirik Church would be imminent.
At the same time, he shared the information he had just obtained with Donna, Cindy and others. Although they also noticed something unusual in the sky, they had no system prompts and had no idea what had happened for the time being. This was one of the unique advantages of being a God-chosen hero.
After hearing this, everyone was shocked for a moment. They knew that the two gods were in a state of war, but they never expected that the winner would be decided so quickly. It had only been a few days?
All we can say is that either the gap in strength between the two sides was too big, or Xirik had planned it in advance, and he had helpers while Leila was isolated and helpless, so the battle ended so quickly.
But Levi felt that Mask’s role in this was probably very disgraceful, otherwise why would he turn into a sword?
Leila herself is only a weak power of the 2nd godhood, Mask is a weak power of the 5th godhood, and Cyric is a 15th-level godhood that is only one step away from powerful power. If he and Cyric join forces, he can just carry out the siege openly.
However, after killing Leila this time, both gods gained a lot. I believe that if they consolidate a little, they may be able to launch an upward attack and go further.
This was not a good thing for Levi, because they were planning to attack the Thorn Town of the Xirik Church next.
Looking at their current state of collusion, once we launch an attack, there may be many thieves and assassins in the town to resist.
As he was thinking this, another system prompt popped up, but this time it was not about the gods, but was aimed at God-chosen heroes like Levi or ordinary natives.
"When her true body was killed, Leila scattered the fragments of her godhood and divine power throughout the entire main world. Although some of them were swallowed by Xirik and Mask, there is still a small part left."
"The location where they land may cause many special changes. If they are obtained by the chosen heroes or natives, they may gain powerful power."
After reading it, Levi felt very excited. The death of Leila's original body would become a carnival for the mortals in the main world. Even if they could not hunt down Leila in her saintly state, they might still gain other things.
As for the special changes mentioned by the system, if nothing unexpected happens, the biggest possibility is various copies.
Then another system prompt popped up.
"This temporary online update has been completed:
1. Cancel the experience value penalty for the chosen hero due to long-term continuous fighting;
2. The limit on the maximum daily online time has been removed, but if you continue to fight for too long, you may still fall into a state of soul weakness, and all attributes will be reduced. "
This is again very good news. With the escalating intensity of battles and enemy forces, some large-scale wars may not be completed in just a few hours from the initial planning to the final end. Now that the constraints of time have been removed, flexibility has been greatly improved.
As for the weak soul at the end, Levi didn't care too much about it. Even if there was no limit on the online time, he still had to eat, drink water, and take care of personal hygiene, right?
Unless he can completely transform his body into energy like the gods in the game, he will not be able to avoid all these things.
As he was thinking about it, Levi's expression suddenly changed, followed by a burst of ecstasy.
Because in the end times, Chen Zhui noticed that in a passage leading to the underworld that was close to Baiyin Town, a large number of vampires, tomb demons, and ghouls were swarming out.
The purpose is obvious, they must be cooperating with the Xirik Church to attack Silver Town!
