Chapter 642: The Kingdom of God on Earth

Especially the goddess of illusion and lies, Leila, whose best abilities are illusions, dreams and lies. She can fool people with illusions and lies.

Her followers firmly believe that the Lady of Mist did not die, and was not even killed by the God of Conspiracy. She just used a huge illusion and lie to play with the God of Conspiracy.

As for the illusion and lie priesthood mastered by the Prince of Lies, it is just a part of the perfect lie of the goddess of illusion and lies, in order to promote her own illusion and lie priesthood with the help of the God of Conspiracy. When the right opportunity comes, she will take back her own power and reappear in front of the world. At that time, she will have more believers and more powerful power.

Especially the believers of Lady of the Mist on the Selune satellite firmly believe in this. The belief in the goddess of illusion and lies occupies a dominant position on this satellite. Prince of Lies has never been able to extend his hand into it. This is also the reason why he clearly killed the saint of Lady of the Mist on the land of Faerun, and even stripped the priesthood of lies intact, but the other party has never been able to completely kill the gods. As long as there are a certain number of devout believers, even the gods who have fallen may be resurrected from the dead, just like gods can bring people back from the dead.

As for the Selune satellite, it is the only natural satellite of Toril. Not only are there people here, but there are creatures on Toril's moon, other non-natural satellites, and even the sun. These creatures are certainly not ordinary creatures, but elemental creatures or unique existences that are immune to fire.

Don't use three-dimensional and four-dimensional thinking to understand the multiverse. Even those powerful gods are blind men touching elephants. They can't tell the specific appearance of the multiverse at all. Everyone and every god has his own unique understanding, and even deviates from others. There are countless wars and conflicts caused by this.

Compared to the multiverse, even gods are just a grain of sand in the vast ocean.

"It's not a simple thing to plot here. I don't know how many souls have been absorbed here, and I don't know how much power the fragment of the godhead has recovered. But one thing is known, the Far Sea Swamp has become an independent domain, and the operating rules inside are completely different from those outside. At present, it is very likely related to illusions. If you want to find the fragment of the godhead, you must first break through the heavy defenses. Even a legendary wizard can't do it so easily, especially when you can't use a lot of manpower and material resources." Catherine analyzed it in detail.

"I just don't know what role the three ghosts played in this? They are all masters in this area, especially the night ghosts themselves have the ability to enter and exit dreams. Many times, fantasy and dreams are inseparable. Will the fragment of the godhead fall into their hands?" Gavin speculated with some concern.

Those witches are treacherous and like to use illusions and lies to play with humans. They have a certain degree of compatibility with this fragment of the divine nature. If they are allowed to master this fragment of the divine nature, it will be much more difficult to completely eradicate them and seize this fragment of the divine nature.

"At most, they have taken the lead. It is hard to say how much they have mastered, but at present, they do not have the ability to bring this power out of the distant sea swamp. Otherwise, they will not fail to use this power when facing the situation of losing troops. Next, the difficulty of their control will be greatly increased. It is difficult for these monsters and defeated soldiers who escaped to escape the fate of death, and their souls will be used to strengthen the ability of the fragment of the divine nature. After all, the power of the divine nature comes from the soul and faith. Do you see that the concentration of fog here is higher? It is expanding outward?"

After hearing what Catherine said, Gavin hurriedly suppressed his true gaze and looked down.

As expected, the fog covering the distant sea swamp no longer stayed there quietly, but began to actively expand outward as if it had its own will. I don’t know if it was Gavin’s illusion, but above the fog, he saw a series of vague human silhouettes, struggling and roaring, like souls trapped in another world, trying to ask for help from their former companions.

But the human silhouettes made of fog, after falling on the monsters, passed through their bodies directly.

No, it was not just as simple as passing through, but even brought their souls out of their bodies, pulling out a long twisted figure, there was a force in those flesh, pulling the souls not to be pulled away.

But there were too many mist phantoms. Soon, the second, third, and fourth mist phantoms surged up, until their souls were torn out of their bodies. When the line between the body and the soul was torn off, the body fell to the ground and died. After the souls left the body, they were immediately swallowed up by the mist that surged up from all directions, and turned into new mist phantoms, and followed the other mist phantoms to rush towards other living monsters.

Some mist phantoms couldn't wait to drill into the body at the moment when the connection between the soul and the body was torn off, as if they wanted to occupy the magpie's nest, but unfortunately, they still went straight through like before, as if the two were not in the same space plane.

It's clear without asking that these mist phantoms are actually souls swallowed by this piece of mist. I just don't know whether their behavior of rushing towards other monsters now is spontaneous? Or is it forced by the mist?

No one can answer this question, maybe it's both.

As the number of souls swallowed by the fog increases, their aggression becomes stronger and stronger, and the speed of surge is faster.

Now the situation has completely changed. It's no longer the monster fleeing soldiers rushing towards the distant sea swamp fog, but the latter sweeping over and rushing towards the entire monster fleeing soldiers.

"Veronica, the situation in the direction of the distant sea swamp has changed. Don't worry about these fleeing soldiers. Give priority to saving yourself and retreat to the main force." Gavin did not directly show up and use a high-level roaring technique to the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry below to convey the order to retreat to them. That is what a stupid ruler without strategic and tactical thinking would do.

The pursuers below need to face not only the changes from the distant sea swamp, but most importantly, they are also facing a large number of monster fleeing soldiers. They are the most direct threat to the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry.

The Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry can drive the monster fleeing soldiers to run for dozens of kilometers, not because they have an absolute strength advantage, but because they make full use of the inertia of the monster fleeing soldiers.

But once they roll back, the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry will easily become the main force of the army in the reversing bead curtain. Even retreat is a science, not as simple as turning around and running away.

In fact, even without Gavin's order, Veronica, Nora and Thomas have already done so. Not only did they do so, but many of the monsters who fled could not help but stop.

Because of the strange situation of the fog in the distant sea swamp, anyone who is not blind can see it.

The fog mutation is directly related to the swallowed souls. As the more souls are swallowed, the stronger its activity is, the faster the invasion speed is, and the more fog phantoms rush through those monsters, the faster the souls of those monsters are pulled out of their bodies.

In a few minutes, the fog in the distant sea swamp actually gathered a fog phantom army, which was very targeted and launched an attack and erosion against the monsters who fled.

Because except for the fog in the direction of the monster army's collapse, which was bulging out crazily, the fog in other directions of the Far Sea Swamp basically remained motionless, making it look like a huge tentacle that was constantly extending outward.

"Nott warriors, follow me to charge, in arrow formation, keep up with my pace, and don't fall behind." Nora's highly distinguishable roar echoed again on the battlefield.

Gai Mingming clearly issued an order to retreat, but the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry not only did not retreat, but instead issued an order to charge.

The Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry quickly turned into a huge spike. Under the leadership of Nora, they heavily bombarded the monster soldiers, causing those monster soldiers who were hesitant to move forward due to the change of the fog in the Far Sea Swamp to scream in fear and rush towards the Far Sea Swamp desperately. After all, compared with the monster soldiers who rushed to the front, the ones behind had no way to feel the threat of the front. On the contrary, the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry who drove and chased them all the way were more deterrent.

The monster fleeing soldiers in front were retreating, and the monster fleeing soldiers behind were rushing forward, and the situation became a mess. Whether they were advancing or retreating, they could not help but restrain their charging steps and squeezed into a lump in the middle.

The Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry did not run into the monster fleeing soldiers head-on, but under the leadership of Nora, they drew a huge arc and scraped past the edge of the monster fleeing soldiers.

Even if they scraped past, the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry also brought considerable casualties to the monster fleeing soldiers. At least hundreds of monster fleeing soldiers were killed and trampled into a pool of mud.

Looking down from the air, the charge route of the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry was a huge inverted U-shape. In theory, they were still charging, but in fact, they had already embarked on the road of retreat.

Retreat is also a science and a tactic. Veronica and other strategic ladies' followers have understood it.

There are many benefits to their charge and retreat, and the most important ones are three points.

First, stabilize the morale of the army. Once the word "retreat" is spoken, whether it is a strategic retreat or not, it will cause a certain degree of shaking to the morale of the army, resulting in some unnecessary turmoil, which is far better than retreating in the charge.

Second, it will shock the monster fleeing soldiers, so that they have no idea of ​​the intentions of the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry. By the time they react, the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry has already run away with a rumble, and there will be no situation of being followed and bitten by the monster fleeing soldiers.

Third, the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry is relatively bulky as a heavy cavalry, especially when turning. If you are not careful, your own people will be squeezed into a pile first, which will delay more precious time.

As soon as the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry withdrew, the situation became much simpler for the Earth Wolf Cavalry. As light cavalry, they were flexible and mobile, wandering around the periphery, and had no close contact with the monster fleeing soldiers. As soon as the monster fleeing soldiers were shocked by the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry, they took the opportunity to get rid of them, but did not run in front of the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry with their own speed. Instead, they wandered behind and launched long-range attacks on those monster fleeing soldiers who dared to follow the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry. They did not need to kill them, but only needed to suppress them for a period of time to let the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry go away completely.

The Conqueror Army took the opportunity to get rid of the monster fleeing soldiers, but this false charge brought a devastating disaster to the monster fleeing soldiers, and the misty phantoms of the distant sea swamp took the opportunity to surge up on a large scale.

"Get out of the way, all of you, get away from me...ah..."

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, get out of the way..."

"It's not that easy to kill me. I finally managed to get here. Fireball..."

"All of you die..."

Seeing their retreat blocked, the monsters once again summoned up their remaining courage and raised their weapons to launch a frantic attack on the misty phantoms. The result was predictable. The misty phantoms were all made of mist. Even the sharpest swords would pass through them. No one knew whether they caused any substantial damage. After all, the misty phantoms could not make any sound. They just surged forward. The wounds cut by the swords healed completely in the next second.

Magic such as fireball had a good effect. It was unknown whether the misty phantoms were killed or not, but the mist at the point where the fireball landed was cleared on the spot, including the misty phantoms, forming a large open space.

But the following situation was still despairing. Endless fog soon covered the area. The souls of countless monster soldiers were forcibly pulled out of their bodies, and then eroded by the fog, turning into new fog phantoms.

This situation was like a snowball. The number of fog phantoms rolled more and more, and the erosion speed became faster and faster. It didn't take long before most of the monster soldiers were submerged. Only those on the periphery were screaming hysterically and running away. They had been driven crazy by the successive attacks, as if the whole world was maliciously targeting them.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless fog tentacles shot out from it and directly penetrated the scattered monster soldiers.

These fog tentacles had no physical killing power. The bodies of the monster soldiers who were pierced were intact, but countless pairs of fog arms stretched out from the tentacles and firmly grabbed the souls of these monster soldiers.

The monsters fell to the ground while running and turned into corpses. Their souls were pulled out by the mist tentacles.

Because they were too close, Gavin and Catherine in the air were attacked by the mist tentacles. Although Gavin wanted to hit the mist tentacles that shot at him to see the killing effect, after all, this attack was at the soul level. The mist itself was not offensive. The offensive ones were the mist phantoms. They were very similar to those ghosts and shadows, but they were no longer composed of negative energy, but ether energy.

The war plunderer had both the spark of immortality and the plan plundering divinity that the strategy lady had just obtained. Maybe it could directly plunder these mist phantoms.

For safety reasons, Gavin finally suppressed his desire to attack. The Far Sea Swamp would not run away. If he wanted to test it, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. There was no need to do it when the enemy was at its strongest. Up to now, the enemy had absorbed at least 8,000 souls. If this group of fog was just acting on instinct, it would be fine. Once it had a common dominant consciousness, he would be stirring up a hornet's nest and attracting the enemy's attention to himself.

The attack speed of these fog tentacles was not particularly fast, and they could not catch up with the flying speed of Gavin and Catherine at all. Moreover, its attack distance was obviously limited. After extending more than 200 meters, it stopped extending outward.

It was just plundering souls unscrupulously, and had no specific hatred for a certain individual target. When it found that it could not attack Gavin and Catherine, it turned its target to other directions.

According to preliminary estimates, less than one-third of these monsters can escape, and the remaining two-thirds will be completely retained by the fog of the Far Sea Swamp. This is a full 20,000 souls. The souls harvested in the previous battle of Lady Strategy's Ascension to God were only this number. In the end, Gavin and Lady Strategy shared them equally. Even if the quality was inferior, the number was really here. Unexpectedly, the Far Sea Swamp finally ate a ready-made one.

"For a short time, let your people stay away from the Far Sea Swamp. After swallowing so many souls at once, this place is not as simple as a large domain, but has become an absolute kingdom of God on earth. It is not something that ordinary people can face. If the ability is restrained, even a god incarnation will find it difficult to take advantage here." Catherine warned with a serious expression, "Don't expect to eat the Far Sea Swamp with a large army. This direct attack on the soul is too lethal to ordinary soldiers."

"Understood." Gavin nodded, indicating that he knew it.

The current situation of the Far Sea Swamp is actually the same as that of the Vizeme Manor.

It's just that the negative energy that filled the Vizeme Manor turned into etheric energy, and the shadows generated by the souls infused with negative energy turned into misty shadows infused with etheric energy.

If there was an army like the monster rout that went to attack the Vizeme Manor, their fate would be the same as here. Their soul consciousness would become prisoners of the Vizeme Manor. In the blink of an eye, they would become the troops of the Vizeme Manor and turn around to attack their original comrades.

But compared to the Vizeme Manor, which had just started, the power contained in the mist of the Far Sea Swamp was more powerful. It didn't know how many soul consciousnesses of creatures it had absorbed in the Far Sea Swamp.
