"Bad news, Soth has noticed our actions in the Northland in advance."
Shar stood in the icy wasteland of a certain demiplane and told several other figures gathered there what happened not long ago.
You must know that according to her plan, she originally planned to lurk in the body of the mage, and then look for opportunities to launch a fatal sneak attack to kill or track down the guy who came to investigate the secret behind the whole thing.
Especially the nosy moon goddess Suellen and the magic goddess Midnight. As long as you can kill the incarnation of either of them, you will gain blood.
Of course, even if you don't encounter the incarnation of a hostile god, you can get rid of electors like Elminster, Kelburn, the Seven Sisters, or Zuo Si's important subordinates, it can still have the effect of blocking information and disrupting the situation.
But unfortunately, this insidious plan was eventually destroyed by Zuo Si himself who suddenly appeared unexpectedly.
But this cannot be blamed on the goddess of the night.
After all, Zuo Si had not been in Toril for a long time before this, but had gone to other dimensions to take care of his newborn daughter.
This made Shar judge that his attention had long been diverted from Faerûn, and it was a good opportunity for him to do something for himself.
In fact, the goddess of the night's prediction was quite accurate.
In fact, if little Annie hadn't suddenly transformed from a baby into a toddler in an instant, Zuo Si would not have brought his daughter back to visit Ayesha as her mother.
Not to mention confirming the status of his other unborn child.
Nor would he go to Neverwinter to take a look at Dumbledore.
The most important thing is that he met Irebeth entirely on a temporary basis. He wanted to confirm whether the other party would arouse the dark side of the soul in anger and sadness after learning that his fiancé Vanswijk was having an affair with another old man. In the end,
Fallen from paladin to become blackguard.
You must know that Aribes's character is not as calm as Kaidong, another veteran paladin who has retired. He has long tempered his indomitable and firm will in countless dangers, setbacks, sufferings, deceptions, and betrayals.
The latter, when faced with his wife's cheating in marriage and a green prairie growing above his head, still suppressed his anger and remained rational throughout the whole process. No matter how he was stimulated, he finally chose to use legal means to solve the problem.
The problem with Aribeth is that her growth experience was too smooth, and she basically encountered no severe tests or setbacks. Along the way, she easily became Lord Nasir's right-hand man, the second most powerful figure in Neverwinter, and was admired by countless people.
and beloved heroine.
Especially the belief in Tyr, the God of Justice, makes him firmly believe that light will defeat darkness and good will defeat evil. He does not understand that the truth of this world is actually a dynamic balance between good and evil, order and chaos, and there is no absolute winner.
It is said that one can defeat the other party.
As the saying goes, if it is too strong, it will break easily.
The more firmly these people have faith and have never tasted the taste of despair, when they suddenly find that the cruel reality is completely opposite to their beliefs, the faster their faith will collapse, and the easier it is for their thoughts to turn 180 degrees.
A big turn, directly from extremely good to extremely evil.
But who would have thought that it was such a spur-of-the-moment idea that he suddenly bumped into Magrim who was ambushing Aribes, and learned from the leader of this cult who worshiped the creator race that there was an enemy who secretly wanted to compete with him for control of the North.
conspiracy.
What's even more coincidental is that Shar was discovered hidden in the nodes of the Shadow Magic Network in this guy's body.
Of course, the Goddess of the Night would definitely not tell these so-called "allies" about something like this that happened inexplicably.
After all, in her definition, "allies" are just temporary thugs and cannon fodder. The ultimate goal is to make the gods kill each other and return everything to the darkness and silence from the beginning.
"What does Soth know?"
A thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and eyes revealing viciousness and madness, questioned.
This person was none other than Zuo Si and the gods who had dealt with him severely. He finally climbed back from a demigod with weak divine power back to Cyric with weak divine power.
If one were to find a god among the Toril gods who hated Zuo Si the most and even wanted to kill him, Prince of Lies would definitely be ranked first.
Like the orc gods and goblin gods, they all have to stand aside.
You must know that in order to restrict Cyric from expanding his influence through the priesthood of lies, Zuo Si recorded the scene of this guy being beaten up by a group and spread it everywhere, causing many mortals to sneer at this clown-like lunatic.
Not to mention belief, even the most basic respect is lacking.
Only those whose lives are the most unsatisfactory, who are often bullied and despised, and who have already twisted their hearts and long for revenge against society, will choose to believe in Cyric to gain power.
And most of these believers are scattered in the eastern part of the continent far away from the west coast empire.
That strong sense of humiliation that cannot be described in words makes today's Prince of Lies extremely eager to use blood and death to make his most hated enemy pay the price.
It is precisely because of his participation that this conspiracy has been hidden for such a long time under various lies and deceptions.
Shar glanced at Cyric with interest, and replied with a half-smile: "He captured Magrim.
It is unknown how much information and intelligence can be obtained from it.
You should understand that it is impossible for a mortal to keep any secrets in front of Soth.
That poor guy will be spied on from all directions, from his brain to his soul.
Especially the large armies formed by different races and forces in the Neverwinter Forest area may lead to the exposure of some of you."
"Hmph! So what? My frost giant army will sweep across the entire Northland when winter comes, and no town can stop their progress."
The King of Frost Giants, Kostchurch, clenched his fists and let out a deep roar.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As the original lord of the 23rd level of the Abyss, he obviously hated Zuo Si deeply.
After all, the invasion of the devil army caused all the first forty floors of the Bottomless Abyss to fall. Now it has turned from chaos to order. Kostchurch could only lead his men to fight all the way to more than a hundred floors, killing another demon lord and replacing him.
.
This great migration caused heavy losses to his demon army and frost giant army, and also lost a lot of prestige, causing many demon lords to despise him.
"Waiting for winter to come? There are still a few months at least. Do you think Soth will do nothing during this period? He will find all the threats in the North and then start a massacre."
The King of Gnolls, Yeenoghu, opened his mouth to reveal a pair of sharp fangs, and his eyes revealed ferocity and violence.
This is the lord of the 422nd floor of the Abyss.
Although he did not have a direct conflict with Zuo Si, he hated the other party for unscrupulously massacring his own people, that is, the jackal tribes living in the material plane.
You must know that Yeenoghu's greatest wish is to see the prosperity of the Gnoll race. It is best to create a world completely dominated by Gnolls and turn elves, humans, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, etc. into slaves and food.
But once the West Coast Empire under the rule of Zuo Si controls a certain area, it will mercilessly eliminate the gnolls, goblins, orcs, trolls and other monsters in the area.
The number of jackals killed by patrols and adventurers alone is as high as hundreds of thousands.
This number alone was enough to make Yeenoghu have murderous intentions towards Zuo Si.
"Because of this, we need to take some actions and we must not let Soth sit idle."
Lolth, the Spider Goddess, also expressed her opinion.
As the city beneath Dragonspear Castle has completely established itself and gradually integrated into the surface world, it has become a beacon of hope for countless dark elves who want to escape traditional society.
As long as this beacon exists, the Dark Maiden Eilistraee will continue to tear apart her absolute control over the entire race.
Therefore, Rose's motivation for joining was very simple, which was to destroy the drow city controlled by Eilistraee and completely destroy the latter's plan to improve the image of the dark elves in the minds of the surface races.
"My army of orcs and half-orcs have arrived and assembled. As long as there is a guide who is familiar with the terrain to lead the way, we can reach several exits on the west coast through the Dark Area at any time, and then launch an unprecedented invasion, plunder and destruction."
Gruumsh, the main god of the orcs, waved his thick arms and fists, and his single eye was like an eternal burning torch, which made people feel frightened and frightened.
As the most combative god in the entire Faerûn continent and the most enthusiastic about killing, conquering, enslaving and destroying, he and Zuo Si had a long-standing relationship.
At the same time, it was also the time when the latter was in the most dangerous situation and closest to death when he was still a mortal.
Unfortunately, Gruumsh, who descended into the avatar, failed to kill Zuosi in the end, but was blocked by gods such as Talona, ​​Corellon, Moradin, Ogma, Midnight, and Ilmat.
In retaliation, Zuo Si used plague and an army of shadows to kill more than 90% of the orc tribes in the entire North, and those who survived quickly fled the area.
This failure made Gruumsh always grieved and vowed to make the other party pay the price with blood.
"My goblin army is also ready to start a war!"
The goblin main god Magnubiya let out a harsh and sharp roar, while staring at the orc main god with eyes full of hostility and hatred.
Because the two of them have always had a hostile relationship, even if they reached temporary cooperation through the matchmaking of Shar, the goddess of night, they still did not stop the eternal soul war in the outer plane.
To put it bluntly, it is a "bloody battle" between the orc god system and the earth spirit system. Both sides continuously send armies of petitioners to fight each other and consume each other.
Magnubier spends most of his energy in this area.
The reason why he wanted to deal with Zuo Si was also very simple. It was that the latter's large-scale breeding of werewolf and goblin slaves had seriously torn apart the two clergy of goblins and dominion, causing them to fall from strong divine power to the current medium divine power.
This kind of threat and hatred is even far above the orc pantheon.
It has to be said that Shar is quite good at discerning the most fundamental conflicts of interest among the gods.
Basically, every one of the gods and demon lords she found regarded Zuo Si as their number one enemy to some extent, and even if they had conflicts with each other, they could put them aside for the time being.
To be continued...
