Chapter 920: Cease-fire and Peace Talks

"No, my transformation into the God-Killing Sword has not been exposed at all. Until now, Cyric doesn't know that the God-Killing Sword in his hand was transformed into me, let alone Leila. If she really comes back from the dead, , you should go to Cyric, not me."

The Lord of Shadows reacted in an instant.

After the conspiracy plan was shattered and all the results were seized by Cyric, there was no need for Musk to announce to the public that his saint had once transformed into a god-killing sword.

After the gods returned to their places, Musk replaced himself with a divine incarnation, and continued to transform into the God-killing Sword, dormant beside Cyric, hoping that one day he could regain everything he had lost.

"Is it Cyric? He also started to enter the dream realm through the illusion priesthood? And he once again targeted himself and wanted to plot other priesthoods? Is this a conspiracy against himself?" Musk soon gave an even more shocking answer Speculation.

The more I think about it, the more reasonable it becomes.

The priesthood of illusion and deception were both taken away and absorbed by Cyric, and the priesthood of deception was even integrated into the priesthood of lies, becoming one of the most powerful priesthoods of the Prince of Lies.

The Lord of Shadows, who had spent time with Cyric, knew very well how his temperament fit well with the priesthood of conspiracy and lies. He was a walking lie-making machine and a born plotter. In his mortal days, he had already combined these two things. This method is played superbly.

With the blessing of the godhead priesthood, he will definitely reach a higher level.

Once he is targeted by it, he will definitely face disaster.

"It's still wrong, it's still wrong, it's still wrong. This dream feels too pure. It's filled with the breath of nature. No matter how clever Cyric's lies and deceptions are, he can't change the nature of his divine power.

When Ms. Strategy was conferred as a god, he had peeked at the other party's planned priesthood, but was destroyed by the Lord of War as the only incarnation of divinity. The two of them were not so easy to live with.

This should be the involvement of other beings in the power of dreams, and the rising totem dreams of the witches in the Leatherman Kingdom should be related to it. "

In a short period of time, Musk made several turns in his mind and used the information in his hands to the extreme.

This is the instinct of a conspirator. The first thing that comes to mind is often the possibility that is most unfavorable to him.

Once Cyric wanted to take action against him, his priority was not how to save the church organization, the Shadow Masters Guild, but how to protect his other priesthoods from being lost or even directly destroyed.

After repeated tests and confirmation that the dream in front of him had nothing to do with the Prince of Lies, the Lord of Shadows couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

But I was worried about how to decipher this dream.

Dreams, like illusions, are famous for their ever-changing nature. Unless one possesses absolute crushing power, they can be violently dismantled. Otherwise, it will be like smashing the fog with a hammer, and it is difficult to see the results.

Ordinary dreams cannot trap Musk, but if divine power is incorporated into them, that's a different story.

Musk didn't need to go in to know that there must be a complicated maze waiting for him inside. It was not easy to kill himself, but it was not difficult to trap this divine incarnation for a period of time.

Judging from the previous situation, the shadow thieves in the shadow nest cannot delay for too long. Once the opponent's shadow army all rushes in, those shadow thieves will face a one-sided massacre.

Even if I want to run, I can't.

Even his consciousness is blocked from the outside. It is probably normal to block teleportation.

"The key to this battle is not the Shadow Nest, but the believers. As long as they are saved, this battle will not be considered a complete failure. I don't need to plunge into this dream trap, or even completely defeat it. All I need to do is create a gap in it to create an opportunity for my followers to escape."

The Lord of Shadows quickly figured out the most important joint and made a choice.

Now he no longer thinks about completely repelling the enemy and saving the entire Shadow Nest, but how to minimize the losses.

For a god, the most important thing is his believers, especially those powerful believers, who are his most precious possessions.

As long as they don't lose, as long as they are given a period of time, they will start over and establish a brand new church organization for themselves, and they will have the opportunity to continue fighting against their enemies.

Simply creating a shadow passage for Musk's divine incarnation is no longer an impossible task.

"I am the shadow, all shadows are mine, and all shadows belong to me." Once he makes up his mind, Musk, the Lord of Shadows, is an out-and-out activist.

The divine incarnation immediately began to melt and turned into a ball of shadow.

The shadows in the shadow demiplane seemed to be boiling, gathering towards the shadow from all directions.

He didn't grow bigger and bigger like a balloon, on the contrary, it shrank smaller and smaller.

This means that the shadow energy is being compressed, compressed and compressed by him.

When compressed to a certain extent, the originally tangible and insubstantial shadow begins to become qualitative, like thick black water.

"break!"

When the shadow ball was compressed to the size of a basketball, a muffled shout came.

Thick shadow energy pillars spurted out.

This shadow energy column is very similar to that emitted by the shadow masters operating the shadow tower, and is even thinner.

But in terms of power cohesion, the two are not the same.

The divine shadow energy column fell on the Dream Labyrinth Technique, like a red-hot iron cone inserted into a pan of oil, and it immediately boiled.

Black smoke came out from the energy column and the dream at the same time, which means that the two energies are in fierce confrontation.

Just like when Gavin used the War Predator to bombard the shadow shield, the divine shadow energy column directly penetrated the dream maze.

This is a point-to-point victory.

Even at the stage of divine power, there is no way to escape the most basic laws of physics.

From the dream maze penetrated by the divine shadow energy column, it is as thin as a piece of paper, like a special shield covering the battlefield.

It is a dream, a masterpiece of illusion, with multiple characteristics.

If you rush into it rashly, you will find that it is extremely vast and the area is beyond imagination.

Through the torn gap, Musk saw the battlefield again.

During the time when he was thinking about countermeasures, earth-shaking changes had occurred on the battlefield.

The enemy's shadow army has entered the shadow nest in an all-round way, and those shadow masters have given up maintaining the shadow shield and even the shadow tower.

These shadow towers certainly have a powerful effect, strengthening their ability to manipulate shadows, but they also bind them in place, turning them into live targets, and are easily targeted.

It is far better to hide in the shadows and make full use of their mobility, which is safer and more powerful.

After all, they are a group of thieves and assassins. It would be the most stupid to fight a positional war like a warrior.

What the shadow thieves never expected was that the most lethal force of the shadow army against them was neither the violent winds that were good at group attacks, nor the crouching night shadows with crushing power, but their original guardians, the death screamers.

When these death screamers faced the shadow army, they were extremely frustrated and had no chance to exert their combat effectiveness.

But when facing these shadow thieves, they were extremely tough.

No matter how powerful these shadow thieves were in using the shadows, not only did they turn their shadows into shadows, but even part of their bodies into shadows, but in essence, they were still people, still creatures, and would still be affected by the impact of negative energy, at most they had a higher resistance.

The death scream of the death screamer can shock the shadow thief out of the dormant shadow.

When the shadow thief falls into an abnormal state such as trembling and shock, it is difficult to keep in tune with the shadow, at least most of the shadow thieves can't do it.

As the elect of Lady Strategy, how could Gavin miss this opportunity? He immediately readjusted his tactics and the entire ghost army began to cooperate with the death screamer.

As long as those shadow thieves were forced out of the shadow, they would not have the opportunity to enter the shadow again and would be directly killed by other shadows.

The biggest threat to the shadow thieves is still the ghost manor.

When the shadow shield of the shadow nest was broken, the Vizeme manor pressed directly, and the shadow power deeper than the shadow was spreading in the shadow nest.

Any land that was soaked by the shadow power, those shadow thieves could no longer hide and sneak there.

Judging from the posture, the opponent not only wanted to kill all the people in the entire Shadow Master Guild, but also uprooted their nest and completely swallowed it up.

When the Lord of Shadows tore a crack in the dream shield, not only Gavin felt it, but many shadow thieves also felt it.

Gavin cried out inwardly that it was not good, and hurriedly took back the War Predator, concentrating on contacting the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, guiding more dream power to come over, trying to fill the gap again.

However, the divine shadow energy column controlled by the Lord of Shadows was of ray nature, and was continuously bombarding the dream shield. The new dream power that surged over could only ensure that the gap would not continue to expand, but there was no way to fill it.

"My Lord has come to rescue us. I know he won't abandon us."

"What are you waiting for? Retreat quickly. It will be too late if you are late."

"Our wealth, the wealth we have accumulated over the years, is all here!"

"It's time now. You still care about this. Saving your life is important. As long as you are alive, we can earn more wealth if we lose it. If we lose our lives, we will have nothing."

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

Shadows soared into the sky and sank directly into the divine shadow energy column, following him to escape from this Jedi.

Although the divine shadow energy column tore a crack in the dream shield, it did not lift the transmission ban here. They could only escape by shadow.

"Stop them, don't let them leave!" Without Gavin's order, the shadow army began to intercept the shadow thieves.

Especially those death screamers flew directly into the air, blocking the road and screaming.

Groups of shadows fell one after another and turned into living people.

They had no chance to transform into shadows again. The violent winds spun at high speed, engulfing them in the whirlwind of weapons and cutting them into pieces.

It is estimated that those shadow thieves must have regretted it. They never thought that the guardians they had obtained with great difficulty would become the biggest weapon to kill themselves.

If they had a chance to do it again, they would never choose the Death Screamer as the outer guardian of the Shadow Nest.

The war entered a white-hot stage.

Those shadow thieves tried their best to leave.

And the shadow army tried its best to stop them, trying to maximize the gains of the war.

At the beginning, a large number of shadow thieves escaped the interception.

As a large number of shadows poured out of Vizeme Manor, they fought with the shadow thieves in the shadow mode, and very few shadow thieves could escape.

These shadows were naturally the shadow assassins killed by the Shadow Legion. They have now become prisoners in Vizeme Manor. They are now helpless and can only fight for it.

Strictly speaking, this war belongs to the category of divine war.

Both the enemy and us have begun to use divine power and began to take the enemy's soul for themselves.

"Red Knight, please come out and speak." After confirming that the remaining shadow thieves could no longer break through the enemy's interception, the divine incarnation of the Lord of Shadows took the initiative to stop the divine shadow energy column, condensed into a human form again, and took the initiative to appear from the shadow.

Her tone was very soft. She was wearing a gauze skirt like a shadow. Her exquisite body was looming. Because she was in the shadow for many years, her skin was slightly pale and glowing slightly. Her eyes were shining like stars, and her long black hair dragged all the way to her feet.

When she landed on her bare feet, she was like a cat, extremely graceful and silent.

That's right.

The divine incarnation of the Lord of Shadows is female.

It is too shallow to measure the gender of gods by the secular gender of men and women.

All gods have the ability to reshape their bodies with divine power, which is why many gods have different faces, because in different periods or places, the images and faces used by themselves or their incarnations are different.

Except for a very few gods, most gods still have preferences or caution when using gender. Unless necessary, they show their original gender.

After all, gender has special meanings.

For example, the earth mother goddess Shangtia, she also has the special meaning of mother in many places. Not to mention incarnation as a man, even the image of a girl is rarely seen. In most legends, she is the image of a kind middle-aged woman, which perfectly fits the identity of a mother.

There are even some stubborn gods who will not use this ability at all, and keep the same appearance all year round.

Among them, the gods of the races of the major races are the most important. After all, they represent this race, and their appearance is an important part of their appearance.

If an orc god appears in the image of an elf, let alone whether the orcs can accept it, the elf gods will be angry first.

"Meet His Excellency, Lord of Shadows." Gavin appeared outside the dream maze, and the emerald energy was looming around him. Once the situation was slightly wrong, he would immediately hide in the depths of the maze.

His attitude towards the Lord of Thieves was neither humble nor servile, and he did not overly provoke the other party just because he wiped out the Shadow Master Guild.

No matter what, Musk is an old-fashioned weak god, and he is also the god who is best at assassination in the Faerun pantheon. If he is forced into a corner and targets himself by any means, it will be extremely detrimental to his development in the secular world.

"Let Ms. Strategy come out to negotiate with me." The tone of the female divine incarnation of Musk was as soft as ever, but the displeasure revealed in it could be felt even by a fool.

Obviously, it was Gavin who came out, and she was not satisfied.

She is a god, and peace talks can only be conducted with a god, not with a mortal voter.

She still firmly believes that even if Lady Strategy is not present, her divine incarnation must be nearby.

"General Gavin is the lady's chief voter, and he can fully represent Lady Strategy. If Lord Shadow wants to negotiate peace, just go with him." Catherine's tall figure appeared silently beside Gavin.

After the shocking move in Tevram City, she came to support Gavin as soon as possible, and has been dormant in the manor without taking any action.

Now that the overall situation has been determined, it is natural to help Gavin maximize the benefits.

The special situation of Lady Strategy must not be known to the Lord of Conspiracy.

As for her pretending to be Lady Strategy.

If the other side is a group of mortals, even a group of powerful legends, she can also try.

Because in the turbulent years, when she was the vessel of the Saint Lady of Strategy, she had already been transformed into a demigod body, and her body was filled with the divine power of Lady of Strategy. With the homogeneity of her soul and Lady of Strategy, it was not difficult to pass off the fake as the real thing.

But now she was facing a divine incarnation of a god, and if she did so, she would be exposed in a matter of minutes.

They judged whether the other party was a god, not by appearance and power, but by the soul - that carried the godhood and priesthood, which was difficult to disguise. (End of this chapter)
