The goddess of illusion really didn't want to leave her nest, but William pressed the handle of the knife and stared at her eagerly, which filled Leila's heart with panic.

She was not only afraid that her secret would be discovered, but also worried about William's reputation as a god-killer. Layla was not a god who was good at fighting. However, during the battle for the God of War throne for more than a thousand years, Layla secretly

He helped Tempus and used false illusions to make Tempus's army, which should have suffered a defeat, win in an incredible way.

Of course, Layla also received a reward for this, a part of the priesthood of strategy - the priesthood of trickery. However, Layla almost never exposed this secret to the outside world, because she knew that Karigos was not easy to mess with, especially Karigos.

Behind Si there are many allies left over from the Netherese era.

If it were just a battle for the war throne between Karigos and Tapas, no one else would be qualified to intervene, but if Layla's extra interference was exposed, some old antiques would never let her off lightly.

Now that William has brought up such a topic, it is obvious that he knows something. It may not only be William, but there may be some predators hidden behind William that have not yet surfaced.

Goddess Leila showed an awkward smile like crying and begged: "Sir William, I really can't leave here, my people need me. If I leave with you, what will they do?"

William sneered and said: "Ms. Layla! No need to pretend to be pitiful here, I won't accept your trick. Do you think you are the only one leaving? Don't worry! You and your followers will not be separated, they will stay with you

Leave here and leave without leaving anyone behind! How about it, doesn’t it feel like a surprise?!”

Layla said with a sad face: "There are no surprises, only shocks! William, I am willing to leave with you, please let the people here go, okay?"

William stared at the goddess with an idiot look and said: "Are you stupid? If you were the only one who left, believe it or not, as soon as we left, Tempus's army would kill everyone here."

Layla was shocked. Indeed, her relationship with Tempus was no longer what it was before. Tempus even didn't care about her from the beginning. Otherwise, the reward Tempus gave her was not the deception priesthood, but the legitimate priesthood.

The strategic priesthood of Erba Jing is a top-level priesthood that is enough to ascend to the position of powerful divine power.

Especially when Layla heard that Tempus was planning to give the other half of the Strategy Priesthood - the Priesthood of Strategy and Planning to a little Bichi from Tethyr who likes to wear red armor. This is absolutely unbearable!

Layla immediately decided to rebel. She wanted to defeat Tempus severely, and then let her know the consequences of ignoring her.

That's right! Layla, the goddess of illusions and trickery, changed her mind almost in the blink of an eye. Not only did she no longer resist William's invitation, she even offered to help, so much so that William even doubted whether this goddess had any tricks up her sleeve.

How does a goddess win the trust of a mortal? Then there is a negative distance between the soul and that person. The two parties can be honest with each other and exchange opinions and gifts without reservation, just like the negotiation between William and the Earth Goddess in the barn.

.

Layla really wanted to have in-depth negotiations with William, but William was not very helpful at this time.

The divine power of the earth entangled in William has not yet dissipated. He is not very interested in it for the time being, and the goddess of illusions and trickery does not dare to forcibly break the divine power of Tangtia in William. However, Leila is certain of the fact that William is really behind him.

He hid the elder, no, Tangtia, an old man who likes to grow vegetables, showed his whereabouts.

Layla is not in a hurry to leave her mark on William's body. She has enough patience. What she needs to do now is to cooperate with William's people to take away the villagers of Black Feather Bridge Village. This is not an easy task in the first place.

Work, after all, the villagers of Black Feather Bridge Village are residents of Ling Feather Valley. They naturally resist migrating to other valley city-states, especially the messy place of Battle Valley.

Fortunately, most people in Black Feather Bridge Village are followers of Layla. After all, these mortals are not bold enough to violate God's will.

When the goddess sent down the oracle, people reluctantly left their homes after all.

Apart from plundering the food in Black Feather Bridge Village, William did not do any more damage to the village. He just helped Leila to build the temple that looked like the Temple of Lathander, but was actually the Temple of Illusion and Trickery inside.

A strategic demolition was carried out and one of Layla's sacred objects was taken away.

Leila's other sacred object is none other than the black rope bridge erected on the Asaba River - the Black Feather Bridge. The Black Feather Bridge is a sacred object blessed by Leila's divine power. When crossing the bridge

When people walk onto the Black Feather Bridge and feel frightened, the sacred blessing contained in the Black Feather Bridge will confuse pedestrians with illusions, making them think that they are not on a shaky rope bridge, but on the solid earth.

.

Just such a bridge can not only confuse people with illusions, but also achieve the benefit of using tricks to calm people's hearts. It can be said that it takes care of all the divine power of the goddess of illusion. For Layla, it is simply the best way to practice the divine power.

Utensils of action.

In short, this bridge is very important to the goddess of illusion Leila. If possible, she would like to hang it on her belt all the time.

Unfortunately, the Black Feather Bridge was used because of the local topography. If pedestrians did not want to get stuck in the Asaba River, they had to either find a way to cross the river by boat or use the Black Feather Bridge to cross the river.

It can be said that the terrain around Black Feather Bridge created the Black Feather Bridge of the Illusion Goddess. Since Layla came to Faerûn, in order to protect her core asset, she could only hide and live in seclusion in Black Feather Bridge Village. Now she

After following William, he couldn't care about anything else. He just wanted to dismantle the rope bridge and take it away.

William naturally refused to do this kind of thing of demolishing the bridge. He persuaded the goddess of illusion: We are just retreating temporarily, and it is not that we will not come back in the future. This rope bridge of yours is not a gold bridge or a silver bridge, that's it.

If you leave it alone, no one will touch it. Who will take advantage of it if you have nothing to do? If someone really destroys your bridge, at worst, I will build ten new ones for you after the war is over!

Layla, who was originally a little reluctant, immediately changed her mind after receiving William's guarantee. She no longer cared about her precious bridge, but had some other ideas.

For example, she would find an opportunity to secretly destroy the Black Feather Bridge, and then ask William to compensate her for ten more rope bridges of the same power. You must know that the Asaba River stretches for thousands of miles, and the terrain similar to the Black Feather Bridge is not only

This is where the power of the Illusion Goddess usually weakens and she cannot get the right to use those treasure places.

Now? Maybe you can think about it!

Even with the support of the goddess Layla, the project of relocating the entire population of Black Feather Bridge Village lasted for a full day and night. By the evening of the next day, there was no longer a single resident in Black Feather Bridge Village.

Late at night, the village was as quiet as a land of the dead, with almost no people at all. The reason why I say almost is because there are a group of rats - moonlight rats running out from nowhere in an endless stream, and they are

A carnival started in the deserted village.

Then the originally quiet village suddenly became noisy and lively.

But the Moonlight Rats' carnival was soon interrupted.

A group of cavalrymen holding torches came from the southeast of Black Feather Bridge Village at a slow trot. These knights came to the closed log gate at the entrance of Black Feather Bridge Village, and several of them sat on horseback.

They called at the door at the top of their lungs for a while, but no one inside responded to them.

These people saw that no one was paying attention to them after they had spent a lot of time talking, and they heard a lot of noise inside. Just because the people in the village despised them, the knight who called the door was extremely annoyed.

Several leading cavalrymen discussed with each other, then one of them whistled, and more than a dozen of them each held a loop of rope, threw it out one by one, and tied it to the top edge of the wooden door. Then they tied the other end of the rope to the saddle.

, urging the horse to pull back.

More than a dozen horses exerted their strength together, and only a loud bang was heard. The gate of Heiyuqiao Village, which was nailed with more than a dozen thigh-thick tree trunks, was pulled directly from the door wall, and the wooden bars on top of the door were even more powerful.

It was broken into several pieces.

After the village gate was opened, these cavalrymen immediately shouted several times, and the content was roughly about grabbing money, food, women, etc. to encourage morale. Then everyone in the entire cavalry team immediately screamed strangely and rushed to rush.

The horse rushes into the village.

Suddenly there was an uproar of people and horses neighing like a tide.

However, when these cavalrymen rushed into the village, they did not see a single figure. There were only countless large rats running around in the streets. Some rats even held small needle-like daggers with their front paws like humans.

, screaming at them from a high place in the house.

Rat plague on a moonlit night! There is no blue pool in the south!

This was the first thought that came to the minds of all the knights. The knight in front hurriedly reined in his horse and tried to turn around, but the knight behind him continued to bump into this direction without realizing it. For a while, the knights who entered the village were upset.

On weekdays, moonlight rats look just like ordinary rats, but on full moon nights, these rats will become extremely terrifying. You can imagine a rat the size of a football, with a brain that is no different from that of a normal human being, and also has greater strength.

He is no worse than normal people, he can jump several meters at a time, just like a flea, and his temperament is even more cruel and outrageous.

A single moonlight rat under the full moon night is enough to become a small monster that can kill tigers and leopards. The key is that this thing lives in groups. Once it appears, there are hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of them. Moonlight rats of this magnitude can be seen in the moonlight.

The full night is enough to destroy even a medium-sized town.

It just so happens that tonight is a night with a completely full moon, and it is also the most ferocious and bloodthirsty day of the month for these moonlight rats.

But these cavalrymen who had just broken into Black Feather Bridge Village just felt that they and their group were really in a bad time, and how could they have plunged into a fatal rat hole?

These people now have a doubt that they have no time to think about, and that is where the local residents are. Could it be that the moonlight rat plague has already caused a disaster and has disappeared?

But who cares! Now these knights just want to rush out of the village.

Some people may ask where these moonlight rats come from. In fact, these little things are raised by Layla, the goddess of illusions, in the false temple of Lathander to trick people. This woman is so scheming that she is not very kind.

The presence.

When Layla left, she asked if she wanted to take these little things with her. William refused after thinking about it for a while. Not to mention the uncontrollable nature of the Moonlight Mouse, only William's two kittens

It's impossible to agree to him raising this thing.

Moonlight rats are really difficult to deal with. They are like bouncing fur balls, constantly attacking the cavalry and their mounts. Whenever the moonlight rats get close, they will definitely do crazy damage with clawing and biting, even if they themselves

He didn't hesitate to be attacked by those knights.

The horses neighed, the knights howled miserably, and there were countless curses and screams. Some unlucky knights lost their mounts, because those war horses reacted more directly to danger, and they directly broke away from the knights and ran away.

.

The knights who still had their mounts panicked and turned their horses around, running wildly on the streets of Black Feather Bridge Village. From time to time, knights fell off their horses and were buried in rat mounds by a bunch of rats. Some horses also fell on the ground.

on the ground, and then eaten by the Moonlight Rat together with the knight on the horse.

William led a group of about fifty mist knights and stopped not far from Black Feather Bridge Village. Originally, he planned to kill the moonlight rats himself, but he did not do it temporarily due to a whim.

Just now we saw the tragic end of that poor night cavalry team.

Not even half of the knights who could make it out of Black Feather Bridge Village alive, of course, there were slightly more horses who made it out alive.

These knights had been on the road for most of the night and were exhausted. To suffer this bad luck this time was of course even worse. Not only did they suffer heavy casualties, but they also lost most of their weapons. After all, those weapons that humans usually use

Killing weapons were not very useful when dealing with Moonlight Rats, and were even a bit obstructive, so almost everyone abandoned them when fleeing.

Then, when these knights who were lucky enough to survive looked at each other and were at a loss, they did not realize that a group of cavalry who had been waiting for a long time unexpectedly surrounded them.

It’s not that these cavalrymen from Feather Falls don’t have the courage to resist, but their horses are already exhausted, their people are hungry, and they don’t have any suitable weapons in hand. Whether they want to fight or escape, they can’t do it, so they can only dismount and surrender obediently.

Just tie it up.

For William's cavalry, tonight is definitely a magical night.

They watched a unique battle between rats and humans. Although many of them did not witness it with their own eyes, it did not prevent these mist knights from letting their imagination run wild. Then they led by their own leader to ambush the enemy.

, and almost effortlessly wiped out all the knights from the eastern valley city-states.

Especially after the Misty Knights identified the identities of the prisoners, they were even more impressed by William. The Misty Knights knew these prisoners well, and the cavalry who rushed into Black Feather Bridge Village were not mediocre soldiers.

, are the remnants of the elite cavalry under King Rashan two years ago.

Although most of these cavalry from the Scar Valley were defeated by the Misty Knights in the last battle, it is undeniable that they are really difficult to mess with. The Misty Knights' victory was extremely difficult at first.
