Chapter 608 God’s Response

The River of Bianhuang was already close at hand. They could already see the river from a height of several hundred meters. Right in front of the conqueror's army, there was a bridge across the river of astonishing size looming.

Literally speaking, this bridge across the river looks like it is made of fog. It looks a bit erratic and appears and disappears in many places.

Directly above the bridge, there is a huge figure also made of mist. It is a human male with white hair and a very handsome appearance. He exudes the majesty of a king and holds a huge two-handed sword in his hand. A cloak was wrapped around him. Even if it was a shadow of mist, he could still feel that the cloak was being blown by the violent wind and wrapped around the owner's body.

This misty shadow is none other than Sandakol, the god of exploration and travel, the Slave of the Wind, the Helping Hand, and the God of the Road.

As the conqueror's army convoy approached the still illusory cross-river bridge, the boulders carried on the truck were immediately wrapped in a violent whirlwind and lifted into the air.

In a burst of incredible exclamations, these boulders flew towards the still illusory bridge across the river.

These boulders were like fireballs flying from the hands of the mage, growing bigger as they flew. By the time they reached the illusory cross-river bridge, not only had their size expanded dozens of times, but their appearance had also been greatly adjusted and changed. Change, and become exactly the same as the position it fell on.

When these huge boulders fell, the landing point of the illusory cross-river bridge immediately became no longer illusory, but had a real existence. There was no trace of fusion at the splicing position, as if it was born. If one body.

Seeing this situation, the voices of immigrants in the conquerors' army became louder, their eyes exuded endless fanaticism, and the merging speed of the bridge across the river became faster and faster, and the remaining mist showed signs of starting to turn solid on its own.

"Using entities as the guide, faith as the bricks, and humans acting as gods, they join forces to create an unprecedented bridge between humans and gods. The god of roads is a master of craftsmanship, and General Gavin is even more of a genius. He actually drove a god to become a god. They will definitely win this war, just wait and see which unlucky guy they are going to eat." The Crown Princess's eyes were shining, but she was not staring at Shanda Keer, the God of Travel and Exploration. The bridge between humans and gods, but that tall half-elf.

This person is really terrible. If there is no way to tie him to the Kingdom of Cormyr, then we can only destroy him by any means. Otherwise, sooner or later, he will be like a greedy sea monster whale and destroy the Kingdom of Cormyr in one go. Swallow it.

And marriage is the best, a means of profit.

Of course, doing this is equivalent to letting him swallow up the Kingdom of Cormyr. After all, his heir will become the king of the Kingdom of Cormyr in the future, but this is a mutual annexation, and the Kingdom of Cormyr will also own everything he conquered. The expansion of the territory will exceed that of any dynasty in the Kingdom of Cormyr for thousands of years, and this great achievement will be completed by his own hands.

"Is this still a bridge? This is simply a battle fortress across the river." Yalusel couldn't help shouting again.

When the state was in the uncertain fog, I didn't feel much of it. I didn't notice it until the boulder building the bridge fell below.

The size of this cross-river bridge is also a bit too big. It is not a two-lane bridge, nor a four-lane bridge, but a full eight-lane bridge, which is enough to accommodate eight floor-type tanks running side by side on it.

What's even more ridiculous is that the two sides of the bridge are not guardrails or pillars, but built according to the city wall and blockhouse model. They are battlements that are more than half a person's height, with shooting holes, and the bridge deck is nearly ten meters above the river. , which is the top of the city wall.

Even Yalusel, who was not particularly experienced in combat, reacted completely and exclaimed: "They don't just want to cross the river, they are planning to use this miraculous bridge as a fortress and fight here. This is a defensive counterattack. This is the battlefield they created for themselves. This plan is simply perfect. Even those believers of the God of Conspiracy in the Dark Castle would not have thought that General Gavin and the others would come up with a plan. Here it comes, here it comes, the Lizard Queen is back with her army of lizards. Haha, when I left, there was nothing here. When I came back, there was an unprecedented bridge across the river. I don’t know who it is. Your Majesty, what will your expression be like?"

Being at an altitude of hundreds of meters is more conducive for them to have an overview of the entire battlefield.

A few kilometers away, they saw the raging waves rolled up by the Lizard Queen and her army of lizardmen, rushing towards them with great momentum.

Taking advantage of the force of the current and the crazy anger caused by being beaten hard, the waves stirred up by the Lizard Queen were bigger and more spectacular than when they went there, with a height of fifteen meters above the river surface.

Such waves are rare even in the sea.

Just this unimaginable huge wave can knock down most ordinary bridges directly, not to mention that there is also a terrifying giant dragon and her descendants included in it.

But looking at the Bridge of Humans and Gods that was about to be completely formed in front of him, and then looking at the huge waves coming, Yalusel couldn't help but shake his head, and observed three minutes of silence for the Lizard Queen and her army of lizardmen. It was definitely them who suffered a bloody head.

The design of this bridge is very tricky. The piers are not oval without edges and corners, but uneven, especially the front, just like a thick blunt knife. It will definitely not hurt people if they touch it, but if they are swept by a huge flood, they are the sharpest swords that can cut people in half.

"The pioneers will cross the bridge first and organize a defense line on the spot to prevent the enemy from attacking the bridge from the ground.

All the building chariots go up the bridge to form the second and third lines of defense. All the old, weak, women and children enter the building chariots to hide and pray not to stop. The firmer your faith, the more indestructible our bridge will be.

The limbless corps will cover the rear and guard our retreat.

Other corps will go up the bridge and resist according to the plan."

The commanders of the Conqueror Army also noticed the surging Lizard Queen. They were not panicked and carried out the established plan in an orderly manner.

Although this bridge was created by the God of Exploration and Travel with the power of faith, the blueprint was provided by the Conqueror Army.

This drawing was not sent to the God of Roads to follow, but as many copies as possible were produced in the shortest possible time, and even made into a memory projection mode, which was circulated among the entire conqueror army to form a preconceived concept for them.

When the belief was passed on to the God of Roads by these people, he could only carry out the construction according to the belief.

Most of the time, it is the gods who guide and influence people, but when enough people gather together, they can influence the gods in turn. This is determined by the faith relationship between people and gods.

This method is limited to those weak divine powers or quasi-gods with few believers. When they reach powerful divine powers, their godhood is extremely stable, and the number of believers they have is in the billions. If you want to influence them, you need to gather not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of believers, but millions or even tens of millions. This is almost an impossible task.

It is precisely because there was a strict and comprehensive plan before this, so when it was actually implemented, it gave people a feeling that the conqueror army had rehearsed countless times.

The tide surged in the river of the borderland, and the crowd surged on the bridge of man and god.

The bridge of gods and humans, which was originally a bit illusory, was pressed down by countless big feet without hesitation, kicked by countless animals, and rolled by countless huge wheels, and pressed into the river of the borderland.

As the bridge of gods and humans turned from virtual to real, the shadow of the god of roads in the air became fainter and fainter. He did not disappear directly, but turned into thick fog and gradually joined the bridge below, becoming a part of it.

"How is it possible?"

The fat neck of the lizard queen stretched out as long as ever, and her eyes, which were squeezed and wrapped by fat, opened as wide as ever. Every piece of fat, every wrinkle, and every expression on her face revealed an incredible emotion.

How long has it been?

They passed by here at most four hours ago, and there was nothing here.

How come a bridge appeared out of thin air here in the time between going back and forth?

Even if this cross-river bridge is inflatable, it takes time to fully inflate it.

How come they ran over and the bridge popped out by itself?

No, no, the breath is wrong.

This bridge was not built purely by manpower, but by powerful magic.

But to build such an extraordinary building, it is definitely not something that ordinary magic can do, but legendary spells that surpass the ninth ring.

Could it be that the enemy's army has a high-level legendary spellcaster who can cast legendary spells?

The magic network will give the basic spells of the caster up to the ninth ring. If you want to cast spells above the ninth ring, you have to find a way to learn or study it yourself.

At this level, it is no longer a continuous increase of ten rings and eleven rings, but a unified name of legendary spells, and then divided into low, medium, and high legendary spells.

Whether you have mastered legendary spells is an important criterion for measuring a legendary spellcaster. Before mastering legendary spells, you can only be called a legendary spellcaster. Once you master a legendary spell, whether it is a low-level or high-level one, you will become a high-level legendary spellcaster in one leap, because the power of legendary spells far exceeds ordinary spells. Once cast, I dare not say that it will destroy the world, but it will definitely change the fate of many things.

On the other hand, it is difficult to master legendary spells. Even if you have a teacher to teach you step by step, it often takes months or even years to master a legendary spell, and you have to spend a lot of research funds - spellcasting materials cost money, and there must be various attempts in the learning process. Failure to cast spells will also burn the spellcasting materials.

If you are willing to learn, someone must be willing to teach you. Spells above the fifth ring are no longer easily traded by those spellcasters, especially some unique spells, which are his own foundation, just like the martial arts secrets of major sects.

And legendary spells are the most precious ones, equivalent to the Washing Marrow and Changing Muscles Sutra in the Shaolin Sutra Library, which can only be taught by the head of the sect.

It is theoretically feasible to want to study on your own, but in fact it is full of troubles. Just like all research, you spend time, energy, and invest huge amounts of money, but in the end it is all in vain. It is too normal.

In the words of the legendary arcane master Felixini, this is the shackles that the goddess of magic puts on all spellcasters with the magic net, setting up many artificial obstacles.

She only saw the negative side. The positive side is that this greatly improves the safety factor of legendary spellcasters in studying legendary spells. They can calculate the success rate through the magic network by substituting some magic coefficients, some common sense experiments, etc., and then make a decision.

Even if the research fails, most of the uncontrollable forces will be absorbed by the magic network, so that the recoil damage is kept within a controllable range, rather than a completely out-of-control magic explosion that blows the experimenter to pieces.

Even so, there are still rumors every year that one or two legendary spellcasters have killed themselves because of studying legendary spells-they usually prepare a variety of resurrection methods for themselves.

However, compared with the era of the Netheril Empire, such magic accidents are now much less, when the wizard tower or his territory of a legendary arcane master would be blown up to the sky at any time.

It is precisely that kind of unlimited and wild growth that has spawned a large number of various legendary spells. Eighty percent of the legendary spells popular on the continent of Faerun now come from that era, either true or variant.

In short, legendary spells are very difficult to master. Eight out of ten legendary wizards have not mastered them, not to mention that they happen to master auxiliary legendary spells such as bridge building, the probability is even smaller.

Compared with legendary spells, the Lizard Queen believes that this is divine magic. Those high-ranking guys like to meddle in other people's business.

No, to be more precise, they are taking advantage of the situation to get their own benefits, but in the name of kindness and goodness, such behavior is the most disgusting.

"Whether it is a legendary spell or a work of a god, you are blocking my way today, so you must destroy it for me. This is what I, the Queen of Thun Swamp, the Lord of the Scaled, and the Lizard God Kulgol, said." The Lizard Queen roared angrily.

Her body tumbled wildly in the water, raising the rolled-up waves several meters again, and slammed heavily at the Bridge of Gods and Humans that had just been formed for no more than ten minutes.

The first bridge of faith in Feren has encountered its first test in this life, which determines whether it can continue to stand in this world.

"Shoot arrows."

The Conqueror Army also took countermeasures, and tens of thousands of arrows rose into the air.

This naturally came from those immigrants. The Conqueror Army is now an out-and-out armed immigrant. Those immigrants have at least one long-range attack weapon in their hands. Those who can shoot bows are equipped with bows and arrows first, and the old, weak, and disabled who cannot shoot bows are equipped with crossbows.

The Conqueror Army is large enough to provide long-range saturation coverage shooting. I dare not say how high the lethality is, but the formation is absolutely amazing. Those armies and creatures with weak wills can still stand firm in the face of rain-like arrows. I am afraid that there are not many.

It's just that the enemies they face are a bit special. They are caught in the huge waves and floods. They can only vaguely see huge figures, but there is no way to see their real faces. The rain of arrows fell on the huge waves. The previous second, they sank into the sea, and the next second, they became floating objects in it, and followed the flood waves to hit the Bridge of Gods.

The rain of arrows could not break the huge wave water shield stirred up by the Lizard Queen, and could not pose a substantial threat to the Lizardmen army, which further boosted their arrogance. Countless amphibians popped out from the huge waves from time to time, seemingly provoking the Conqueror Army. In fact, while observing the distance between the two sides and looking for a suitable attack point, many Lizardmen had taken a javelin from their backs and prepared to launch a long-range attack on the Conqueror Army.

The humid swamp environment in which they live and their amphibious habits doomed them to have neither tools suitable for making bows and arrows nor long-term preservation. The javelin thrown by their own strength is the best means of long-range attack.

"Shoot!"

A new round of orders sounded in the Conqueror Army.

The vibration of the bowstring sounded again on the Bridge of Gods and Humans, this time it was extremely intense, and the air was full of buzzing vibrations.

This time it was no longer the armed immigrants, but the crossbow cart on the top of the building chariot.

At least 200 of the 300 chariots have been dragged onto the Bridge of Gods and Humans, and are placed there in four rows of interlaced canines, forming a huge defensive maze. Even if the enemy jumps onto the Bridge of Gods and Humans, the defenders of the Conqueror Army can rely on these chariots to organize defense on the spot.

Before that, the first to show their power were the ballistae installed on it. Some of these ballistae came from Retaven, some from Evanso, but most of them came from Misnoel, and were made by the woad tree people.

Those tree people who are born with the ability to bend and shape wood can become the best carpenters in the world as long as they want, because they can manipulate the characteristics of wood and easily find and repair the defects in wood. They can tap the characteristics of various woods to the extreme. The wood processed by them becomes harder and more flexible. This ability is limited to strengthening. It is not impossible to forcibly change the characteristics of wood, such as changing pine wood to poplar wood, but it is too costly and is a typical case of getting twice the result with half the effort. It is far less convenient than strengthening on the original basis.

The crossbow carts imitated by these woad tree people are not only more durable, but also have a range and power increased by about 50%. They are more convenient to operate than those made by humans, and only three people are needed to cooperate.

The heavy crossbow carts installed on the building chariots by the conqueror army are all heavy crossbow carts that use a rotating noose. The base of the car has been removed and directly installed on the top of the building chariot, perfectly integrated with the double-layer structure of the chariot.

Although it requires three people to work together, only one person needs to stand on the second floor of the building-type chariot to operate and aim, while the other two people hide on the first floor to perform a series of auxiliary tasks such as stirring the noose and stringing the crossbow arrows. Therefore, these auxiliary tasks are not handed over to the young and strong, but are assisted by the old, weak, women and children hiding in the building-type chariot. With strength in numbers, it is still very easy to complete this task.
