Chapter 1065: Full Detonation

The surrounding ground suddenly trembled violently, and two huge magic circles appeared out of thin air, and two huge blue-gray arms stretched out from them.

Each of these blue-gray arms was larger than the King of Gnolls, with clear muscle outlines, but a closer look would reveal that they were not made of flesh and blood, but stone.

After the two super-giant stone arms appeared, they slapped the King of Gnolls heavily, just like hitting a mosquito.

"Get out of the way!" Catherine shouted loudly.

At the same time, she urged the warhorse to run away from the King of Gnolls.

Although these super-giant stone arms were aimed at the King of Gnolls, they did not care about their lives at all.

This was not the reinforcement she had planned, but came from the ally, the Undead Stone Giant Chieftain.

At this time, it was obvious that he was trying to snatch the spoils.

If he had been a little later, he would have had nothing to do with this divine incarnation of the King of Gnolls.

Although Catherine had promised to give them this divine incarnation.

The premise is that they take him down themselves.

If Catherine and the others take him down, even if they fulfill their promise, they will probably have to pay a huge price.

This is a violent divine incarnation, which has extraordinary research value.

The so-called divine power is the power of a certain law that is highly condensed. Through this power, one can peek into the power of a certain law that it represents and controls, so as to study more powerful spells and gain more powerful power.

Not to mention, in this process, one can also use it to peek into the divine power.

The Gnoll Queen retreated not much slower than Catherine. The Burning Queen only provoked her inner emotions and did not erode her mind.

She would not be buried with the Gnoll King before, and she would not be buried now.

Only the Gnoll King and the Burning Queen were entangled with each other because of the conflict of divine power, and they could not move.

Both of them have fought out the true fire, and all they used were the original power.

In this situation, no one dared to withdraw their strength first.

Whoever withdraws first will inevitably face the opponent's thunder strike.

Bang!

The two super-giant stone hands slapped each other hard, making a deafening roar.

Crack!

They used actual conditions to interpret what the ultimate power strike is. Even a divine incarnation is not enough in front of it.

The bones were broken and the body was severely twisted and deformed.

Even the Burning Flame Queen, who was in a spiritual state, was shocked and could not even maintain her basic form. She drilled out from the gap between the two stone hands and instantly sank into the body of the Gnoll Queen.

She looked like she was seriously injured.

Only she, as the person involved, knew that the slap just now was not just pure physical force, but also exquisite magic.

In the area covered by the two stone hands, she was unable to use her flame teleportation ability to teleport.

After the two stone hands were put together, countless stone spikes and stone pillars shot out from them, forming a secondary attack.

She was a spirit, and the damage to her from these stone spikes and stone pillars was relatively limited, and there was no way to trap her.

The King of the Gnolls was not so lucky. A large number of stone spikes and stone pillars penetrated his body, firmly fixing him in place.

When the Queen of Burning Flame escaped from it, the two stone hands not only had no intention of separating again, but on the contrary, they were merging together around them, preparing to use it as a cage to trap the King of the Gnolls.

Fortunately, the Queen of Burning Flame ran fast. Once it was sealed, even if she was a spirit, she would probably be sealed in it.

Because the super giant stone hands themselves were protected by magical power, the Queen of Burning Flame could not pass through them.

"I took the spoils!" The voice of the chief of the undead stone giant just sounded at this time.

As he spoke, the two stone hands had turned into huge stone balls in the shape of two hands clasped together.

At the beginning, the crazy roar of the divine incarnation of the Gnoll King could be heard, but in the end, even the sound was sealed.

Then the sealed stone ball slowly fell to the ground and sank into the soil until it disappeared.

It was not as simple as being buried in the soil, but was moved away in this way.

Even if the place where the stone ball just landed was dug through, it might not be found.

"He is already in our pocket, where did you come from? Why did you steal our spoils? You are playing tricks, get out of here! Give us back our spoils, or I will cut you into pieces!"

The flames on the Gnoll Queen rose again, and the sound emitted was the combined voice of the Burning Flame Queen and the Gnoll Queen.

Whether it was the act of severely injuring her or the act of snatching the Gnoll King, they were extremely angry.

It was just that the other party's efficiency of action was too high, and before they could react, the stone ball had disappeared.

As for the instigator behind the scenes, there was only the sound but no real person, so there was no way to accurately determine his location.

There was no place to vent their anger.

The chieftain of the undead stone giant did not respond to their words at all, but continued to speak in a tone without any emotional ups and downs: "The beastman tribe did not launch a full-scale war against the monster tribe in the Giant Plains, but collectively turned around and rushed out of the Giant Plains and headed directly to the Dragon Coast. They have left the Giant Plains, and the agreement about them is invalid."

He agreed to send troops to the beastman tribe, but the premise was to harvest their souls.

Since the enemy has left the Giant Plains and the soul magic circle, they will not rashly send out their undead army, which is their trump card.

Undead existence is still very taboo in the material plane, especially in the eyes of those kind gods.

Once exposed, it is inevitable that those brainwashed paladins will come to the door.

"No problem." Catherine responded calmly.

Obviously, she knew the news long ago.

Because she was the one who reached a consensus with the Council of Death Chiefs to unify the Giant Plains and attack the Beast Demon Tribe from both sides.

In order to prevent the Council of Death Chiefs from getting what they want and harvesting a large number of souls in a short period of time.

King Ulkuna, who heard the news, would definitely verify the matter as soon as possible. He had contact with the Council of Death Chiefs and knew the horror of the former ruler of the Giant Plains.

Once he was abandoned for greater benefits, it would be the end of the Beast Demon Tribe.

When it was confirmed that the news was true.

There are only a few choices before him.

First, use greater benefits to exchange for the support of the Council of Death Chiefs.

This is obviously unlikely, because in the eyes of the Council of Death Chiefs, they are part of the benefits.

Second, unite other monster tribes on the Giant Plains to fight against the undead army of the Council of Death Chiefs.

The half-beast trolls obviously don't have this confidence.

That is, they have no confidence in those monster tribes, and they also know the horror of the power of the Council of Death Chiefs.

Who knows how many years these guys who should have been buried in the grave have been dormant under the Giant Plains, and how many corpses and souls they have collected.

Therefore, King Ulkuna made the third choice, which is also the wisest choice.

In the name of attacking other monster tribes, recruit a large army to come out in full force, sweep through the surrounding monster tribes, and rush out of the Giant Plains with their population and wealth.

In name, it is not to escape, but to gain more wealth.

Compared with the Giant Plains, the cities run by humans do have more wealth and a better life in the eyes of those greedy monsters.

When the Giant Plains were overcrowded and monsters were in excess, it was not uncommon for them to form a monster army and march north to invade the cities of the Dragon Bay.

It was just that no previous event was as powerful as this one, and it was more large-scale and organized.

Despite their powerful momentum, they did not necessarily fight with the Alliance of Cities when they reached the Dragon Bay.

The reason was simple, there was a compromise between them.

The rise of the Orc Trolls was not only contributed by the Council of the Death Chieftains, but also by the Alliance of Cities of the Dragon Coast.

The most important thing was that the Orc Tribe could not afford to lose.

Once they were defeated, they could not return to the Giant Plains and had no chance to make a comeback.

The Alliance of Cities of the Dragon Coast was a temporary alliance and had always been lacking in military power.

When the two met, it was definitely a turtle against a mung bean, and they would fall in love in a minute.

Not to mention that Catherine was only the elect of Ms. Strategy, even if Ms. Strategy came in person, she could not completely control the direction of the war.

Because war is not a matter of one person, but of countless people.

Even a small thing can change the overall direction of the war.

For Catherine and Gavin, their battle plan this time was successful as a whole.

Not only did they successfully eliminate the Gnoll Queen, but they also forced the Beast Demon Tribe out of the Giant Plains. In the future, the Giant Plains will be dominated by them, and the remaining monster tribes will be at their mercy and can only serve as their herders.

Although the Council of Death Chiefs has already thought about rebuilding the Giant City, they cannot form their own influence in a short period of time, which is related to their secretive style of doing things.

In the Giant Plains, very few people know that they exist, and more of them exist in legends, so the deterrent power is naturally much smaller.

The biggest gain is the divine incarnation of the Gnoll King.

Although he eventually fell into the hands of the Undead Stone Giant Chief, at least the strength of the Gnoll King was weakened.

This kind of imprisonment is more harmful to the Gnoll King than simply killing him.

Because this divine incarnation is not dead and still possesses the divine power of the King of Gnolls, he cannot create a new one to replace it.

Unless he rescues it or completely destroys it.

As long as the Undead Stone Giant Chieftain does not take the initiative to do so, the King of Gnolls cannot do this in a short time.

His original body cannot descend to the material plane, so he can either send a powerful God's Chosen or other divine incarnations to perform this task.

The result of doing so is likely to be a meat bun hitting a dog, and there will be no return.

More powerful God's Chosen and divine incarnations will be lost.

From beginning to end, the Council of Death Chieftains has not exerted its strength. It is just that the Undead Stone Giant Chieftain manipulated his own territory-level magic circle. The strength of both himself and those Undead Stone Giant Chieftains is unknown, and the number of the latter is even more than ten.

It is extremely beneficial for Gavin to drag the Council of Death Chieftains into this war with the Gnolls.

This is another reason why Catherine is willing to give up the divine incarnation of the King of the Gnolls. She can calculate this step.

This is an open conspiracy.

As long as the Undead Stone Giant Chieftain and his men covet the divine incarnation of the King of Gnolls, they must pay this price.

In public, this matter cannot be kept secret, and Catherine and her men will not keep it secret.

This matter will inevitably spread to the entire continent of Faerun along with their war in the Giant Plains.

This war officially set off a vigorous anti-bandit movement that swept and affected half of the continent of Faerun.

The ones who took action later were neither the Shadow Wings of the Shadow Wing Union nor Catherine's strategic priests, but the bards led by Regina.

They took Ms. Regina's new work, Enemies of Civilization, and embarked on a tour performance.

There are a lot of clips stacked in it, showing the atrocities of various monsters headed by gnolls and ghouls.

There are painful memories of the survivors, the last memories of the unfortunate before their tragic death, and the miserable scenes of the towns destroyed by those monsters.

Such soul memories are everywhere in Faerun. There is no need to look for them deliberately. Regina can collect a lot of them, select the most tragic and typical ones, and present them in the most resonant way.

It takes only a few minutes to stir up the emotions of the people, and make their anger and hatred towards the monsters reach an extreme.

Many people who have bone-cutting pains want to raise their swords and fight back against the monsters immediately.

When the wave of counterattacks sweeps in, they will naturally respond and join in.

Before the full-scale bandit suppression was launched, the most nervous were not the monsters in the wilderness. Most of them did not have such sensitive intelligence and did not know that a storm against them was about to sweep in.

It was Gavin's neighbors and the cities and towns around the Conqueror's Road. After receiving the news, they had to prepare for war as soon as possible and prepare to join this full-scale bandit suppression.

It was not that Gavin's influence was so great that he could mobilize them, but that they were purely forced to join.

Those monsters have no concept of homeland. Once they are threatened, they will not defend their territory to the death. Fleeing is often their first choice, especially the gnolls.

They are notorious vagrants. A gnoll war group with more than 100 people may have footprints covering hundreds of kilometers.

If they do not take action, the monsters that have been killed and driven away will flow into their territory in large numbers, making the security of their territory worse.

They are afraid that the vagrant monsters will gather together and directly become a monster army, which will have devastating consequences for many towns.

At this time, a group of strategic priests and shadow-wing thieves came in groups with corresponding strategies and tactics and strong military support.

Those villages and gathering points with relatively weak military strength could not refuse. Most of them would adopt their suggestions and start to strengthen the defense construction of their towns, recruit militias, and strengthen training.

Doesn't it sound very familiar?

This is the core priesthood of the strategic lady - military planning.

Even if they don't believe in Lady Strategy, as long as they know that this method comes from her and are willing to put it into practice, they will generate a steady stream of divine power.

As long as they are willing to use it, many of them are not far from becoming believers of Lady Strategy.

Especially when there is a battle situation where the few win the many and the impossible becomes possible, there will be more believers.

This is vividly demonstrated in the East Region of Despair, especially in Tevram.

The belief in Lady Strategy has become the biggest belief there. Everyone is proud to wear red armor, open their mouths to plan, and close their mouths to talk about strategies. It seems that everyone has become an excellent strategic tactician. If you don't talk about this, you will appear inferior.

There are both real business operations and strategic plans, but more of them are empty talk. This is a disease that will inevitably derive from the rapid development of things. It requires those real strategy priests to correct and guide, so that everything can be put on the right track, but this thing takes time, a lot of time.

In short, this will be another day for Lady Strategy to win, and she can wake up with a smile in her dreams.

This kind of multi-territory joint military action is unprecedented in Faerun.

Although it is in the name of suppressing bandits, the scope involved, the troops involved and the people affected are far more than the Tukan invasion war that just ended in the desperate eastern region.

The strengths of the strategic lady are fully displayed to the world through those strategic sacrifices.

Their tactics are not one-size-fits-all, but they are adapted to local conditions and formulate the most suitable strategies and tactics for the local area according to local conditions.

Like the Giant Plains, there is only one large-scale war.

Even in the City of Faith, which is extremely similar to it, the war is relatively restrained. After all, they are an isolated city there, and the black-scaled lizardmen who can cooperate with them are not good at land combat.

They are more likely to take small-scale operations, or directly raid the enemy's camp, or besiege the enemy, or organize the ranger troops to play guerrilla tactics with the enemy in the wilderness.

Sometimes it is not necessary to fight out, but to lure and anger those enemies to attack actively, take advantage of the defense advantages of the town, and fight a defensive counterattack.

In short, it is to make full use of your own strengths and attack the enemy's weaknesses.

Use the smallest sacrifice to exchange for the greatest victory and obtain the greatest benefit.

Those monster tribes in the wilderness were caught off guard and were defeated by these carefully prepared tactics.

They were either annihilated by a large number of people, or fled to other towns, or fled to more desolate wilderness, or fled to the deep mountains and old forests where few people go.

And this is just the beginning.

Wherever these fleeing monsters flee, they will bring war, killing and plunder there.

Those desolate areas or deep mountains and old forests are just relatively rare intelligent life led by humans, not really vacuum areas.

They either annex the local monster forces and replace them.

Or they are annexed by the local monster forces and become their slaves or servants.

In any war, there will be winners and losers.

The followers of Ms. Strategy are no exception. Their strategies and tactics only increase their chances of success, but do not mean that they will win.

The most important thing depends on the strength of their enemies and what kind of strategies they use to deal with them.

There are not a few rollovers. (End of this chapter)
