Chapter 990 Abyss Plan
The dog demon grinned and said: "Please allow me to refuse this honor. I think that by following the master's side, I can gain greater achievements and glory.
Please ask the master to reward the honor of becoming a demon lord to others. I think those powerful undead are more suitable. They have no emotional troubles and are easier to be manipulated. "
Gavin couldn't deny the answer to the dog demon, "It's still early for this matter. When we really need to face it, we can discuss it again. What do you think we should do next?"
"Um..." The dog demon couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes and asked cautiously, "I wonder if the master is talking about short-term? Or long-term?"
"What about the short term? What about the long term?" Gavin looked like he was listening.
The dog demon paused for a few seconds, seeming to organize his words, and then said carefully: "Now that the master has shown such a powerful ability and opened up a territory in the bottomless abyss, he should not waste his natural resources, but simply looking for a way home.
Instead, make full use of this to seek greater benefits for yourself. In the short term, you can start by acquiring the demon lords in the Bone Plains.
As long as we control this place, we can't say that there is an inexhaustible supply of unique undead like Corpse Hounds and Death Patrollers, at least there won't be too much of a shortage. Whether we use them as weapons of war or extract purifying essence to strengthen other subordinates, there will be no shortage of them. It’s a good choice…”
At this point, the dog demon involuntarily stopped talking and looked at Gavin carefully, as if observing his reaction before deciding whether to proceed with the next suggestion.
Although he had a similar plan brewing in his mind, Gavin did not make any statement and said expressionlessly: "Continue."
"Seizing control of the Bone Plains is just a stepping stone to help us knock on a bigger door. I think that between the undead monarch Orcus, the ghoul king Dorisan and the gnoll king Yeenoghu, between the three The relationship is a very good entry point for us.”
Gavin had already shared the information about his general environment with the Dog Demon after getting accurate information from his hometown.
Gavin sneered: "Do you think the Immortal Monarch Orcas and the King of Jackals Yeenoghu are fools? Are they so easily provoked to fight? They are the demon lords of the Abyss, especially the Immortal Monarch. When Orcas was at his peak, he could be ranked in the top ten. If he was caught between them, he would be wiped out if he was not careful. "
The cunning smile on the dog demon's face became even stronger, "The hatred and conflicts between them are there, and we don't need to stir them up at all. We only need to show our own value, and they may come to us.
Cultivate agents and let them fight for themselves. Not only the devil likes to use it, but the devil also likes it very much.
Even if you are an agent, there is still a lot you can do. When necessary, you can completely turn your back on your clients and drag your supporters into a bigger war. "
Seeing that Gavin had no intention of stopping him, indicating that he was interested in what he was talking about, the dog demon further analyzed it and said, "The master is the blasphemer of Qiyalansari, the immortal goddess of revenge. She is also immortal." The person King Orcus hates the most.
The enemy of your enemy is your friend. I believe that it will be easier for the master and this demon lord to find a common language.
Even chaotic evil demon lords can cooperate as long as they find common interests.
After all, the master has an advantage that the other party does not have, which is to return to the material plane. I heard that the Immortal Vengeance has transferred her remaining beliefs to the material plane and the shadow plane in order to avoid the pursuit of the undead king.
In order to eliminate evil, we can appropriately borrow power from another evil person, as long as we control the intensity and prevent this evil force from completely getting out of control. "
“You can consider the first plan, but don’t mention the second plan in the future.
In the material plane, reputation always comes before strength. Once the reputation becomes bad, we need to spend a hundred times more effort to wash it away, especially when it comes to cooperation with demon lords. Once it is stained, it will be stained forever. "Gavin adopted one of the dog demon's suggestions and rejected the other.
"Master is thoughtful, but I was too superficial." The dog demon was very excited, after all, the other party adopted one of his suggestions.
If it were before, I wouldn't even have a chance to make suggestions.
Especially the second suggestion of supremacy of strength, which would have elicited a burst of refutation from Gavin before, but now it is just a sincere explanation. This fully shows that the master attaches great importance to himself. This is undoubtedly a good start.
"Joining forces with the demon lord in the material plane is not advisable, but it does not mean that we cannot join forces in the Abyss." Gavin's thoughts were greatly inspired. "During the turbulent years of the Abyss, the goddess of trade and money, Woking, wanted to borrow a way from the Abyss. Returning to his own kingdom, he is still imprisoned here by the demon lord Graz'zt, can we try to rescue him?"
While casting the seed of the Road Demigod, Gavin's mind opened up and a new plan was born.
Initially, he wanted to take advantage of Woking's more than ten years of being imprisoned in the Abyss to develop as quickly as possible, and then get involved in her trade priesthood and money priesthood.
Now it is not that we should not peek at the trade priesthood and the money priesthood, but instead we should switch to a more sophisticated method.
These two priesthoods are inherently complementary to their own road priesthood. Convenient roads will be more conducive to the development of trade, and wealth will be easier to circulate.
In turn, the demand for trade and the pursuit of wealth will stimulate the construction of more and better roads.
That is to say, Wakin has been imprisoned. Otherwise, she would have come to him long ago and even offered him a divinely chosen status based on his extraordinary performance on the road.
If he could save her again, I believe she would stand behind him even more firmly and help him develop the road priesthood.
In the continent of Faerun, no one in the Wakin Church can match the widespread belief and the strong financial resources of the church.
With her full support, the development of the road will not only reach a new level?
When his divine power is strong enough, he will naturally be able to promote the development of trade and money priesthood.
At that time, he will naturally reverse the Tiangang and let it seek refuge under his name.
"Dark Lord Grazt!" The dog demon was obviously stagnant, and couldn't help but stick out his tongue to lick his wolf nose and said, "This is a tough opponent. He is one of the most powerful demon lords in the Abyss. He is known as the three giants of the Abyss together with the demon prince Demogorgon and the undead king Orcus.
He not only has three planes and an endless army of demons, but is also famous for his cunning in the entire Abyss. He is called a devil in demon skin, and his domain is even called a small hell.
He has indeed been at war with the undead monarch Orcus for countless years.
But with the rise of the demon prince Demogorgon, the two should be allies now."
As a demon, the dog demon has a good knowledge of the Abyss, and can talk about the intelligence of these demon lords who are famous in the multiverse.
Gavin couldn't help but laugh when he heard this and said, "Isn't the covenant between demons and devils meant for betrayal?
You know that Grazite's favorite thing to do is betrayal and selling out, right?"
Without waiting for the dog demon to speak, Gavin changed the subject and said, "If we want to intervene in the disputes between these powerful demon lords, we must ensure that we have enough strength.
We must not only improve our military strength, but also our own strength.
As long as you have enough potential, I will spare no effort to support you."
A large number of troops is important, but top-level strong men also play a decisive role.
The few wars they just fought are proof of this.
Even in the last war with the corpse hounds and the skeleton lords, Gavin and the dog demons' overwhelming strength played a decisive role in it.
What they are facing now is only a low-level demon lord who controls a skeleton pool.
If it were a powerful demon lord who controlled several skeleton pools or even dozens of them, the same tactics might be applied to them.
Once they are suppressed or killed directly, no matter how many troops they have, it will be in vain. Gavin naturally has high hopes for the dog demon.
"I will definitely not let my master down." The dog demon's mouth curled up, unable to hide his surprise.
He has obtained a lot of good things in recent times. At the current pace, it is only a matter of time for him to grow into a demon lord.
Even when the two were talking, he could clearly feel the effect of the demon essence in his body, especially in the bones.
Not only did his bones become tighter, but he also used them beyond imagination.
Secondary bone strengthening!
Secondary bone manipulation!
Seeing these two familiar special abilities, Gavin couldn't help but smile.
It seems that his guess is correct. The ability is only the appearance, and the internal ability is the foundation. Whether it is a corpse hound or a death patroller, after purification, the remaining demon essence can provide the same power.
In this way, he can hunt more confidently and boldly, and strengthen himself and the dog demon.
After an in-depth exchange with the dog demon, Gavin had a clearer idea of his future development and what he was going to do.
No matter how grand the plan was, the road was still to be taken step by step.
Only when he had enough power could he participate in the war in this chaotic and evil world.
At best, he was temporarily gaining a foothold in the Abyss. Not to mention those famous demon lords, even those local lords had not yet begun to meet.
Both the Skeleton Cavalry Lord and the Skeleton Lord were the lowest-level lords, and they were at the level of vanguard cannon fodder in front of those local lords.
He would not be complacent just because he had taken down a few low-level lords and had tens of thousands of cannon fodder, thinking that he could walk sideways in the Bone Plain.
What he had now, those demon lords basically had, and they were even stronger than him.
Because they had the foundation of time, their troops were the elites that survived the fittest.
This can be seen from the level of the skeleton soldiers of the Skeleton Cavalry Lord and the Skeleton Lord.
Regardless of level or ratio, they are the most when they lead. When their soul pools are occupied, they immediately return to the original state.
Let's talk about the output ratio first.
The special output ratio of the three soul pools of Skeleton Minotaur Pool, Skeleton Warhorse Pool and Skeleton Hound Pool is 1 to 9.
Among ten skeleton soldiers, only one is a special undead (skeleton warhorse, skeleton minotaur and skeleton hound), and the rest are skeleton soldiers.
The output of high-level cannon fodder and low-level cannon fodder is also maintained at about 1 to 9.
Those below level 5 are low-level cannon fodder.
Those above level 5 and below level 10 are high-level cannon fodder.
Among them, the skeleton tauren are special. As long as they are produced, they are not low-level, at least they are high-level cannon fodder. This is determined by the bones that form them.
Therefore, among the three major soul pools, the most valuable is the Skeleton Minotaur Pool.
After discovering this characteristic, Gavin immediately shifted his focus to strengthening the god of killing.
Moved from the Skeleton Horse Pool to the Skeleton Tauren Pool.
The two are now a whole, and the transfer is very simple, just a thought on Gavin's part.
The amount of soul pools that are strengthened by the killing divinity will increase according to the amount injected, with the minimum being one point.
Both are currently at four points.
Gavin's territory can now maintain 4,000 skeleton tauren, 4,000 skeleton cavalry, 1,000 skeleton hounds, and 71,000 skeleton soldiers.
Skeleton-killing soldiers are not included. They are additional troops controlled by Gavin's killing power. They are still at three thousand, but the types of troops have been iterated again. They are Skeleton-killing Minotaurs, Skeleton-killing Cavalry and Skeleton-Slaying Soldiers, each of one thousand. They are elites, with an average level of eight.
Of course, what is mentioned above is the theoretical troop dispatch value.
This is the ratio of the soul pool being completely re-summoned after all the soldiers in Gavin's territory are wiped out.
In fact, the overall proportion of special undead is still relatively high.
There are about 6,000 skeleton tauren, 12,000 skeleton cavalry, and 62,000 skeleton soldiers.
This situation is naturally caused by war.
The battle loss rate of these special units is much lower than that of the cannon fodder skeleton soldiers. As long as the summoning ratio remains unchanged, the special units will naturally accumulate more and more.
As long as you have enough patience and ensure your war victory rate, it is not impossible to have all special units.
Gavin was not satisfied with this slow update method and turned his attention to killing and devouring evolution.
Previously, he mistook the Blessing of Killing for this ability.
In fact, Gavin has not yet found a real way to enable it.
After thinking about it, he could only start from the literal meaning and what the Killing Priest is best at - killing!
It's just that his understanding of cults and evil sacrifices is really limited. He summoned his intelligent undead subordinates to solicit their opinions and brainstorm. After all, they were the professionals in this area.
as expected.
As soon as Gavin finished speaking, a skeleton lord said: "Killing sacrifice! The lord only needs to select suitable skeletons and let them kill in the name of the lord. If nothing unexpected, they will use the fire of the soul. Fusion.”
The Bone Lord who spoke was the one Gavin had just surrendered.
The two Skeleton Lords are strikingly similar in appearance - similar heights, both have skeletal heads with three special abilities. The fleshless skeletal heads look very similar, and even their attributes and abilities are almost the same, and their equipment They are all rusty iron armor.
Although their origins are man-made, these two Skeleton Lords are products of the Bone Plains and belong to the most basic models, just like the spells engraved on the magic web.
It was not difficult for Gavin to tell them apart, for he distinguished them not by appearance, but by the fire of their souls.
In comparison, the latter is more discernible.
The newly surrendered Skeleton Lord is named Herbert. He is slightly stronger and has fifteen hit dice.
Gavin did not try immediately, but asked: "When we attacked your territory, why did the corpse hound suddenly appear outside your soul pool? Is there a connection between you two?"
He had not forgotten that the corpse hound suddenly led troops to attack him. He always felt that this matter was not as simple as he imagined.
The distance between the Skeleton Hound Pool and the Skeleton Minotaur Pool is not close, and it is extremely abnormal for the Corpse Hound to do such a purposeful thing without awakening its own mind.
But in terms of strength, this Skeleton Lord does not have the ability to control the Corpse Hound.
At least there is not much connection between the two tactically.
Otherwise, based on the tactical wisdom shown by this skeleton lord before, he would never let the corpse hound lead his troops to attack him alone.
With the help of a large number of skeleton tauren, charging into the formation is the wisest choice.
"There is no connection between us." Skeleton Lord Herbert replied respectfully, "This matter is not an accident, but an inevitable one, because this is the will from the abyss, which is corroded by the Lord. When I captured the first soul pool, I received a divine decree that told me to destroy the Lord at all costs and regain the soul pool."
"The will of the abyss?" Gavin couldn't help but repeat the name, obviously half understanding it.
"Yes." The Bone Lord said firmly, "The will of the abyss."
The dog demon explained on the side: "This should be a plane rejection reaction. The location of the outer plane has its own fixed sequence.
When a divine being on a sacred plane in the upper plane falls into evil, he and his divine kingdom will lose their place in the upper plane and sink to the lower plane, either into the bottomless abyss or the Nine. The level of hell depends on the camp in which the divine power exists.
The most famous descendant is the Spider Queen. She was once one of the elven gods, and her kingdom was once in Arvandor in the Wild Wilds.
When she fell into darkness and evil, her kingdom fell to the sixty-sixth floor, where she cast the Pit Demon Network.
Similarly, if the holy army of the upper planes conquers a certain layer of the abyss or hell and purifies it completely, and a good god claims to protect and own it, or directly converts the evil divine power there to goodness, then this plane will rise to the upper plane. "(End of this chapter)
