Chapter 1064: Using one's own spear to attack one's own shield

Originally, his biggest believer in Faerun became the main force that hated him the most and attacked him the most, while the others became auxiliary.

Especially Catherine took advantage of every opportunity and adjusted her combat strategy directly, focusing on the Gnoll Queen, actively creating various opportunities for her to attack, and maximizing her lethality.

The Gnoll King had no intention of fighting again, and was thinking about escaping.

But he found himself in a desperate situation. The powerful magic circle that enveloped him here not only blocked the connection between him and his body, but also prohibited teleportation - there was no way to leave here by teleportation or other methods.

He was not good at speed, so he had no way to get rid of the opponent, and soon fell into a beating.

It seemed that anyone with a little ability could and dared to attack him directly.

What the Gnoll King feared most was the operator of this powerful territory magic circle. The opponent either did not take action, or once he took action, it would be a fatal blow.

"Leave it to us, General Blood Claw, you lead the troops to completely annihilate them, leaving no one behind." Catherine ordered General Blood Claw.

He and the Gnoll Queen could still fight back and forth.

He was not strong enough to fight the Gnoll King, including the skeleton attack that Gavin had just given him. Like most control abilities, it was ineffective in front of the Gnoll King.

Although the opponent was a flesh and blood body, he was completely shaped by the violent divine power. His control over his body far exceeded that of a flesh and blood body, forming a series of abilities that the godhead was immune to.

"Yes, sir." Blood Claw also breathed a sigh of relief.

This level of battle was too much pressure on him, and the tolerance rate was too low.

No, there was no tolerance rate at all.

His attack was just a tickle to the Gnoll King, and the Gnoll King's random counterattack was a fatal threat to him.

It was not that he was too weak, but that the enemy was too strong.

When he turned around and locked onto those ordinary Abyss Gnolls, he became an indestructible heavy tank, and corpses were everywhere wherever he passed.

No Abyss Gnoll could withstand his sword.

The situation of the Gnoll army had completely collapsed, and this was naturally not caused by Blood Claw alone.

When they were fighting with the Gnoll King and Gnoll Queen, the Hobgoblin Army and the Shadow Legion were not idle either. They double-teamed the Gnoll army, causing the Gnoll army to be attacked from both sides, accelerating their collapse.

This reached its peak when the Gnoll Queen was ignited and launched an attack on the Gnoll King.

"We lost, we lost, Queen Sharoma betrayed Yenogu, betrayed us, run for your lives!"

The Gnolls howled in despair.

"If you want to live, cut off the head of the gnoll around you, otherwise it will be us who will be beheaded!"

At this moment, the most dangerous thing for the gnolls is not the earth elves or the shadow army, but the monster vassals who once bowed to them and fought for them.

They don't want to be buried with the gnolls, so they can only contribute their heads.

In order to survive, they are more desperate and cruel than anyone else.

For this situation, the earth elf officers are accustomed to it. Fighting with those monster tribes is a common situation.

They are familiar with it.

The earth elf wolf cavalry with speed advantage has long been circling from both wings, forming a huge bag formation, driving away the gnolls and the monsters who turned against them, so that they cannot spread infinitely to both sides.

Instead, they fled in one direction, which was beneficial for the defecting monsters to further fight with the fleeing gnolls, and also beneficial for them to harvest those who escaped.

In terms of evil and brutality, the hobgoblins were no less than the orcs and gnolls.

The only difference was that the hobgoblins had iron-blooded discipline and kept their promises. They said they would not kill monsters of other races with gnoll heads, so they would not kill them. They just drew a line and sent a team of other monster vassal soldiers to guard them.

For those monsters without gnoll heads, they were treated like gnolls and killed mercilessly.

But their keeping promises, like the devil's promises, had to be quoted, and there was a lot of water in it.

For example, they didn't care whether those gnoll heads were hunted by themselves or snatched from their companions.

As long as you have enough ability, even if you kill your companions in front of the hobgoblins and snatch a gnoll head from them, you can complete the task.

In addition to the iron-blooded discipline, the hobgoblins also have a strong admiration for the strong. In their eyes, it is natural for the weak to be killed and the strong to have the right to survive.

For example, after the event, because of other things or needs, these hobgoblins will also have no psychological burden to kill them all.

Because they have fulfilled their promises before, they did spare their lives in this war, but they did not promise to let them live forever.

Although compared with the hobgoblins in the wilderness, the hobgoblins of Blood Gorge City have stricter military regulations and are closer to the moral and behavioral standards of intelligent life led by humans.

But that is limited to the treatment of merchants and related allies on the Conqueror's Road.

Monster captives or enemies are not within the scope of this restriction.

As the war spread, the pursuit and escape directly turned the entire Giant Plain into a huge hunting ground.

After several monster tribes with gnoll vassals or slave servants in their own tribes were wiped out by the big goblins of Blood Gorge City in the name of collaborating with the enemy.

This hunting directly became a national nature.

Not only did the tribes with gnoll vassals or slaves kill the gnoll slaves without hesitation, but also hung their heads at the gates and around the tribes to show the determination of the gnolls to draw a clear line.

If there is a chance, they would never mind storing a few gnoll heads in their tribes to show goodwill to Blood Gorge City.

This national hunting reached its real climax afterwards, because Blood Gorge City issued the latest decree.

The monster tribes in the Giant Plains can use the heads of gnolls and ghouls to reduce the tribute in autumn. The discount depends on the heads of gnolls and ghouls handed in and the professional level.

The more gnoll heads there are and the higher the occupation level, the higher the discount rate.

This decree directly turned this matter into a business, which can be equated with the livestock in the Giant Plains.

The larger the monster tribes, the more positive they responded to this matter, because they gained more benefits from it.

For the gnolls, this decree is a disaster, an absolute gnoll extinction order.

It won't be long before not only the gnolls and ghouls in the Giant Plains will be completely extinct, but even hundreds of kilometers around, I'm afraid there will be no way to see their figures.

For the sake of profit, these monster tribes may organize long-range hunting teams to hunt gnolls. Anyway, the Blood Gorge City only stipulates the heads, occupation levels and body sizes, and does not stipulate that these gnolls must come from the Giant Plains.

Even gnolls and ghouls do not need to be hunted by themselves, they can be purchased from outside merchants.

Once anything involves profit, it can be turned into a business.

But when the monster tribe took actual action, they found that they had greatly underestimated the scale of the war against the gnolls and ghouls.

The heads of gnolls and ghouls can not only be exchanged for tangible benefits in Blood Gorge City, but also for golden coins in many cities.

Those merchants can also use the corresponding heads to obtain certain discounts in industries related to the conquerors, and even exchange them for some exclusive products.

The heads of gnolls and ghouls immediately became hot commodities, and it was not so easy to get them.

This is a later story.

When the gnoll army collapsed completely, a large number of gnolls were killed, and their souls were absorbed by the territory-level magic circle presided over by the undead stone giant chief, and the powerful magic aura even overflowed from the ground and enveloped the surroundings.

Everyone clearly felt that an increasingly strong force was sucking their souls.

Not only the dying wounded, but also the souls were harvested on the spot as if they were hit by the instant death magic, and the seriously injured were also included.

In this way, many people can notice it.

But they are powerless. The only thing they can do is to be as careful as possible and not fall into a state of serious injury.

The one who was most affected was the King of the Gnolls.

It was as if there was an invisible shackle that was constantly adding to him, restricting his actions and abilities.

"Despicable! Shameless! Not only did you steal my souls, but now you actually use them as weapons against me. Even the devil is not as despicable and shameless as you!"

The King of the Gnolls cursed furiously. Even if he knew the reason, he could do nothing.

Success is due to Xiao He, and failure is also due to Xiao He.

It was the race of the Gnolls that made him successful, but now it has become a shackle that binds him.

The souls of the gnolls drawn by the territory-level magic circle controlled by the Undead Stone Giant Chieftain, and the faith connection between him and him, turned into chains, tightly wrapped around him.

This was not intentional on their part, but the faith connection between them. The firmer their faith, the closer this connection.

Under normal circumstances, they connected these souls to the bottomless abyss, the kingdom of Yenogu through this connection.

Now the situation is completely reversed. After these gnoll souls were trapped, the gnoll king could not take them away, but instead became shackles on himself.

"This is what you deserve!" The gnoll queen, who was burning from the inside out, howled while rushing towards the gnoll king again, "You betrayed us first..."

Her fighting style was completely crazy, just attacking blindly without any defense.

This is the usual fighting style of the gnolls.

If it were a normal situation, the gnoll king would be able to kill him in a minute.

But the problem is that now there is a demigod who is extremely meticulous in both thinking and fighting methods. Whenever he launches a fatal counterattack, she intervenes.

Just by winning a negligible amount of time, the Gnoll Queen can make up for her own loopholes, or even take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, which makes the Gnoll King feel helpless.

This time is no exception.

As soon as the Gnoll King made a parry, Catherine's stratagem sword stabbed silently and hit his shoulder blade accurately.

Not only did it break the Gnoll Queen's divine shield in advance, but it also hit his power node, causing his movements to be severely deformed.

Although the divine incarnation has the appearance and interior of a jackal, this is just a decoration created to make it easier to enter the material plane. His true essence is the divine power, and what drives him is also the divinity rushing in his body. Divine power.

This is the reason why gods are immune. Their essences are different from those of flesh and blood. Naturally, magic and abilities aimed at flesh and blood cannot take effect on them.

But he also has his own weaknesses. The power node that Catherine just hit is one of them. Its nature is equivalent to the muscles and veins of the human body, used to transport divine power.

Once he is hit and interrupts the transmission of divine power, it is equivalent to interrupting his movements.

The Queen of Gnolls rushed directly into the arms of the King of Gnolls, and while slamming the burning fine gold flail onto the King of Gnolls, she waved her left hand, clawing at his heart, and said angrily: "I'm going to dig out your heart to see if it's black!"

Everywhere that had been hit or clawed was scorched black and exuded a strong burnt smell.

Unfortunately, the two heads of the Gnoll Queen's double-headed flail hit the Gnoll King at the same time and did not put him into a confused state.

It's not because this weapon was born from the King of Jackals and has any special immunity to it.

It is the divine immunity of the divine incarnation that prevents it from taking such control spells at all.

The Gnoll Queen is naturally very aware of this, and has not placed any hope on it from the beginning. The Revenge BUFF that crazily superimposes on the Gnoll King as the attack and the anger in her heart rise, is the foundation.

There is no way for the King of Jackals to be immune to this power of vengeful divinity.

Now that the stack is almost full, this causes the Jackal Queen to use the same attack with different powers.

The same power of revenge manifests itself in different ways in the hands of different people.

In the hands of the undead goddess of vengeance Qiyalansari, revenge is more of a goal, and immortality is her real tool. Compared to living people, she prefers to use mindless undead souls. She is also known as the dead Madam, that speaks volumes about her priorities.

In Gavin's hands, revenge is more like a method of superimposed damage, a very passive one.

After arriving in the hands of the Queen of Burning Flame, this power was fused with the anger and hatred in her heart that had nowhere to vent, and she was able to turn passivity into initiative. Especially when facing her true enemy, the power of revenge followed her subjective consciousness. Crazy overlay.

Sometimes, hatred does not necessarily have cause and effect.

Because the power of revenge is too subjective, sometimes a word or a look can be regarded as an insult from you to me. Even your existence is a mistake to me and can be regarded as a chain of hatred. , thus creating a revenge chain.

The way the Flame Queen shows her revenge is through flames.

"Explode!" Queen Burning Flame's voice came out from the body of the Jackal Queen, and a muffled sound came from the chest of the Jackal King, and a blazing power burst out from the inside out.

A hole the size of a washbasin suddenly appeared there, and the surrounding area was charred black. Even the heart inside was exposed, with nearly half of it missing, and it was also severely carbonized.

Flame of revenge!

This is a brand new ability named after the nickname Queen of Flames, which combines the power of revenge with her own flames.

When the power of revenge in the enemy's body is accumulated to the extreme, it can detonate in the form of flames, just like Gavin's skull-crushing blow.

This kind of internal destruction is out-and-out real damage, and will directly bypass the enemy's innate or acquired armor and most damage reduction capabilities.

An injury like that of the King of Jackals would have been an outright fatal injury to an ordinary creature, and it would be difficult for healing magic to save it.

The King of Jackals is still alive and kicking. Although he is affected to a certain extent, it is not fatal. Before his vitality is exhausted, not only will he not die, he will not even suffer from a series of negative states such as exhaustion, weakness, and dying.

But the Flame Queen's attack obviously didn't stop there. While detonating the flames of revenge in the Jackal King's body, the flames in the Jackal Queen's body surged, and a human-shaped flame phantom emerged from it.

Follow the Gnoll King's wound and drill into his body.

She is no longer satisfied with incanting the soul of a chosen god, she now also wants to possess a divine incarnation and make it a part of her own power.

"Get out of my body!"

With the Gnoll Queen being possessed and controlled by her spirit, the Gnoll King didn't dare to let the Burning Flame Queen get into his body, because no one knew what would happen.

After all, Queen of Flame is not only a high-level undead lord, but also has mastered the divine power of vengeance.

The violent divine power in his whole body stirred up and concentrated in front of him, trying to keep out the power of the Burning Flame Queen.

When he completely focused his attention on the Burning Flame Queen, he naturally relaxed in other aspects.

The Jackal Queen still launched a frenzied attack on him from the front.

She did not recover because the Flame Queen left her body, because the hatred in her heart stirred up by the Flame Queen no longer attacked the Gnoll King simply because she was controlled by the Flame Queen.

It's just that her recklessness seems to have caused a lot of damage to the King of Jackals, but it is far less of a threat than Catherine who is trying to find every opportunity around him.

Her stratagem sword either did not strike, or once it struck, it would definitely strike at the various vital points of his body, especially the key nodes of the divine power.

The King of the Gnolls was frantically agitating the violent divine power, and she was like holding a pin, deflation from time to time, tripping him up, so that he could never use his full strength.

The Queen of Burning Flame was invading his body bit by bit, igniting it bit by bit.

At this moment, something strange happened. (End of this chapter)
