The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 401: The Triune Council of the Demon Mountain
A day had passed since Lena Sparks visited Faust, and Faust was still gathering strength.

The core of the Tidal Tower is the Tidal Pearl inlaid on the Victory Water Scepter.

Faust treated it as firmware, and then combined it with the magic circle to create the Tidal Tower and Pure Water Barrier.

The power of the tides, the power of the ocean, the power of water.

In the land of the swamp, the power of the water element is stronger than that of the earth element.

It can be said that water accounts for 45%, earth and wind account for 50% in total, and the rest is fire.

As the saying goes, if you don’t occupy some high ground, the enemy will occupy it.

Faust knows that the evil god trapped in the evil god dimension connected to the swamp is likely to be proficient in the law of water element.

He still wanted to try to compete with it in the water element field. He didn't even dare to try, it was not his style.

What's more, from the perspective of resources, the amount of supernatural power that can be gathered in a region per unit time is limited.

If he took more, the Water Evil God would take less. Therefore, even if it was just to go against the Evil God, it was worth building this Tidal Tower.

The cold wind brought snow, and the marshland welcomed the first winter snow of the year.

The former royal capital, Samaran, can now be called the Frozen City.

The huge blue ice, in the shape of mountains, sealed the entire city like amber sealing a mosquito.

If Faust could see this huge iceberg, while marveling at its magnificence, he would probably understand why the minions of the water evil god have not made any major moves until now.

The Water Evil God's main focus is in the ocean, and Zeguo is an obvious target.

In order to attract attention for as long as possible, the main strategy was to launch a sudden explosion and then quickly shrink it to create an indestructible fortress, as well as auxiliary means such as fog cover and anti-detection.

Therefore, when Faust came to the Greyspear Coast and built Heisenberg, he had actually missed the most violent outbreak period of the water evil god's power in the swamp country.

The outbreak lasted only 73 days in total. With Samaran as the core, it launched a penetrating attack in all directions, like a series of destructive rays. In a very short period of time, it caused the country to lose more than half of its population and the most important towns, and the core area became a mess.

Then, the population and materials will be concentrated in Masalan in a reverse snowball manner.

This was also the reason why Faust was able to save 26 refugees in the later period. In the large area near the periphery, the Water Evil God forces did not send a war group to attack, but only released a special magical creation such as the Mist of Fear.

The object of fear is essentially an animated object. Extraordinary magic can animate an object and give it wisdom through spiritual awakening. This object can naturally be mist.

However, the fog of fear rubbed by the Water Evil God has a slightly higher technical level. It not only contains the laws of water elements, but also the laws outside the domain.

After all, the evil gods are foreign visitors like Priest Luo, and they even have a close connection with the Old Ones. Priest Luo can use some law information that cannot be recognized by this universe to make profits for himself, and these evil gods can naturally do the same.

They came to this universe in the ancient times to make trouble, on the one hand because this universe was young and had many loopholes in the laws. On the other hand, it was also because they had a high level of technology to rely on.

It is with this technology that they seize the authority of the most down-to-earth elemental force.

Relying on the power of elements to participate in the weaving and manufacturing of all things, it is deeply embedded in this universe, achieving an effect similar to the harmony of metaphysics, and is officially promoted to a single universe parasite.

Now, the Water Evil God uses the same old trick again, and with the help of the power of the water element law, he creates a special living creature called the Fog of Fear.

They chase intelligent creatures like cattle and sheep chasing water and grass. They go wherever they gather and where there are many intelligent creatures.

Therefore, after releasing such evil creatures, there is no need to pay attention to them. They will find their targets on their own, and then use methods such as siege, intimidation, and stimulation to make the targets live in fear all day long, continuously producing the negative emotional energy they like.

It can be said that even if there is a powerful spellcaster, he can only save himself, but it is difficult to save all living beings, because the cowardice of all living beings is not so easy to appease.

Even if the spellcaster can save them temporarily, after repeated attempts, trust will collapse, people will be scattered, and this group of people will be useless. After all, only a few people have strong wills and can overcome themselves.

The Water Evil God does not have high requirements for these fear fogs. It is enough for them to strengthen themselves and then become the outer barrier of the dark swamp.

The radioactive attack and the reverse snowballing had absorbed enough people and resources to complete the construction of the Iceberg King's capital.

The purpose behind its construction is, of course, not only to make it difficult to conquer, but also to have multiple uses such as an anchor point for the main material world, a huge magic circle, and a huge extraordinary weapon.

Its successful construction cost the lives of millions of people in the wetlands.

Of course, he didn't die by doing hard labor. If the evil god's skills were that clumsy, he wouldn't even be worthy of being a rival to Pastor Luo.

The soul is integrated into the blood, and then the blood is used as raw material to condense into huge, special pieces of ice to form this majestic artificial iceberg.

Without mentioning concepts such as viciousness, cruelty, and terror, the Water Evil God can be said to have developed the strengths of the people of the swamp.

It turns out that the worship of the water god Sama during the Marshland People's era was not really in vain.

In this world where supernatural factors exist and diffuse among all things, the soul, as the fifth element, can itself trigger many mysteries.

Therefore, the belief in the water god is engraved in their genes and is also reflected in the daily lives of the people of the swamplands. They are indeed more suitable for living on this land than people in other regions. They have transformed themselves.

If this transformation continues, it may not be impossible for all people to advance to the supernatural race one day. At least there will be a large increase in the number of people who awaken the supernatural power of water, which will then drive more people to have confidence and a desire to compete with each other, and the supernaturalization of the race will tend to accelerate.

But fate was cruel, and the Marshlanders fell on the eve of their transformation.

To understand it from another perspective, any race in the extraordinary world is miserable, because life in this world is more prosperous and more three-dimensional, and the food chain is more complicated. If you are not careful, you will become prey, even if it is a country or a race.

Millions of blood souls built a demon mountain, and their flesh and bones nurtured evil.

The Water Evil God looked down upon the physique of the people of the swamp, or rather, the human body structure was of a lower grade in its eyes.

Too average!

The physiological structure, and even the emphasis on spirit and flesh, all highlight a panacea effect.

Of course, tools and weapons can be used, but after all, there is still a layer of relationship. If you use your fingers like an arm, it is just an arm, not a real arm. If you do this, how much more cost will be added?

Can it be replaced freely and is more flexible? You see, this is the point of the panacea, high adaptability and low efficiency. If you want to pull it up, you need a lot of secondary investment.

The creatures specially cultivated by the Water Evil God in the deep sea do not have this kind of trouble.

They are weapons. They have remained unchanged for millions of years, but they are not stagnant. Instead, they are fine-tuned according to the evolution of the world.

Their intelligence is sufficient, but not so much that they have too many wild thoughts, nor do they require a high potential for brain development. So why do we have so much blank space in the current tools we use?
The evil water god called them water species, meaning a race born in water.

But Faust would call it a Naga Siren.

Actually, it is not. Just like hyenas are not Canidae, they belong to the Suborder Felidae, Infraorder Civetidae, Superfamily Mongoose, and the derived Hyaenidae. They just look like dogs.

Of course, Faust would not care about these details.

The Water Evil God has a different view. The Nagas are indigenous, but their water species are truly supernatural.

In any case, one million corpses gave birth to thirty thousand pseudo-Naga.

It's not just the pseudo-Naga itself, it also includes a recyclable ecosystem.

False Nagas need to eat, and what they eat is not clams or marsh clams, but a kind of squid-like sea monster.

Just like humans use cattle and horses, this sea beast is used as a means of transportation, a plowing animal, and food itself, with a variety of uses.

This sea beast eats fungi and algae. If you want to cultivate fungi and algae in large quantities, blood and flesh are essential nutrients. In addition, humans are relatively advanced, so it is easier to form a large-scale cultivation. Once the scale is reached, it can enter a positive cycle, and there is no need to stimulate large-scale cultivation with special methods.

The purpose of building the magic mountain is to create an environment conducive to the survival of fungi, sea beasts, and even pseudo-nagas. It is also a prerequisite for aquatic species to live on land for a long time.

There are also millions of marshlanders, but the exact number is not that large. Just as Faust estimated, a lot of them were lost for various reasons during the process of conquest, capture, detention, etc.

It was not a persuasive surrender, but a violent suppression by magic and weapons, not to mention the infighting in the chaos.

More than 500,000 people, these are the remaining population after the Demon Mountain was built.

Of course, it is not calculated specifically like this. The Water Evil God first extracts the valuable surrenderers, then eliminates the valuable non-surrenderers, and finally uses the remaining ones to build mountains and raise soldiers.

There are more than 100,000 valuable surrenderers, who are mainly used to steal the power of faith of the water god Sama.

The Water Evil God himself will not touch this hot potato. What he will do is to teach the surrenderists how to use this wealth.

The feeling of being a traitor and a puppet army was overwhelming.

That's essentially what it is.

These people who claim to be the clergy and believers of the True Sama Cult are treacherous. They are overjoyed when the poor suddenly become rich. They lick the water evil god in various ways. There is no need to elaborate on the details. After all, the cognitive limit of the people in the swamps determines that they can't play too many tricks.

The remaining valuable ones who refused to surrender were made into puppets, and were controlled from production to combat by the True Sama Cult, forming a peripheral force. There were more than 200,000 of them.

Nearly 200,000 others became slaves.

After all, the people of the True Sama sect also need to eat, and they cannot enjoy the food of the False Nagas. So someone has to produce food for them.

The environment in which the people of the marshland live makes it difficult for them to store large amounts of food, or in other words, the food they store is farmed clams.

During the invasion of the water evil god, the clam farms were destroyed and abandoned on a large scale.

Therefore, after the conquest, the big animals must pick it up as soon as possible and form an industrial system according to the new pattern. These 200,000 slaves are really indispensable.

As for the more than 200,000 puppets, they were made into tools like Yin corpses, sealed in shrouds covered with blood symbols, absorbing the power of water elements, earth elements and darkness. When not in use, there are special corpse-raising mud pits, and they do not need to eat.

This is the power structure of the evil god in the swamp.

Of course, the swamp is vast, and there are other things besides these. The original creatures in the swamp are almost extinct due to the fog of fear.

There are also cannibals abandoned by Faust, who exist in the form of primitive tribes.

In addition, there are sporadic survivors. Even in the depths of the swamp today, there are still small groups of smart, brave, and courageous swamp people. For their own reasons, they either wander or stay in the same place, struggling to survive. Most of them have lost hope and just live for the sake of living.

The center of the Demon Mountain's base camp, the former royal palace hall, is empty, quiet and dark. The cold flames in the brazier have a mediocre lighting effect. It cannot drive away the darkness, but only adds a cold tone to the hall, making it look like a deep-sea nest.

On the Danchi where the king's throne was once located, above a golden basin that was clearly a magical instrument, an aqua-blue light outlined the Tidal Tower and its surroundings.

A low, slightly hoarse voice that could not be produced by a human vocal cord sounded: "You disgusting demon cub, you hold the ancient gem and are stealing the power that belongs to us!"

The female naga, who had a voluptuous and hot figure but a long snake tail, said lazily in a pleasant voice with a strong magnetic tone: "Natus, when did you start to learn the flowery speech of humans? Can't you just say what you want to say? What do you want us to do?"

Next to it, a male naga with a large frame but little flesh interjected with a sinister look on his face: "You are asking even though you already know the answer. Launch an attack. What else could it be?"

The female naga sneered: "I just want it to say it out loud, then reject it, and then watch it get angry. Why, have you changed your attitude? Is it because you feel sorry for Natus who was rejected after making multiple proposals?"

"Buzz!" The male naga's eyes lit up like ice chips, and he said coldly: "Shaqi'er, God promoted you to be a member of the Triune Council, not for you to talk nonsense."

"I don't need you to remind me why God promoted me. But you, Rumark, are impatient again. You were the one who disagreed with the first-attack strategy before, and now you are still the one who disagrees with the defensive strategy. Don't you know what it means to persevere to the end?"

"What a joke. The situation is changing, so we naturally have to make the most appropriate countermeasures. I'm afraid your so-called persistence is in the wrong place, right?"

"Then have you ever thought that the so-called change in the situation is nothing more than continued pressure. This is actually what we expected when we chose the strategy of hiding and defending. Your change of opinion now seems like weakness under coercion. We have lost the advantage of attacking first. Attacking now means sacrificing the advantage of hiding and defending."

Rumark retorted, "Have you ever thought that your stubbornness is actually a gamble?"

Shaqier nodded: "You are right. I was betting that if we don't make any noise, the pressure on the demon cub will increase.

We already know that Javier Hugo is trapped in the cage of fire element. The longer the time, the more he invests, and the more he invests, the less likely he is to let go easily.

Therefore, our enemies are mainly the demon cubs.

The reason why we proposed the strategy of attacking first was simply because we assumed that the demon cub was not as powerful as expected because its name meant it was not as powerful as we thought. We could focus on the surviving people in the swamp and start a battle with them, which would mean one more round of confrontation, thus achieving a series of goals.

In the end, the plan was abandoned and the reasons were clear. On the one hand, it was proved that the demon cub did not care much about the survivors of the swamp.

His rescue operation was very measured, and he would rather watch the survivors of the marsh die than take every step carefully. This means that the argument that the marsh was a focal point for human competition is not true.

Once the demons discover our combat power, they will prioritize destroying us while also trying to figure out our strengths and weaknesses.

We exposed ourselves too early and failed to achieve the goal of adding another round, which was a loss.

On the other hand, if we act too early, the werewolf forces in the Dark Forest will intervene in the war even earlier.

You know how powerful the Werewolf Guards are. Although our Deep Sea Guards are not afraid of them, a confrontation between the two sides would mean a direct entry into the third round of decisive battle.

Two commanders, what is our core purpose? Is it for our own pleasure and to win this war?

Obviously not. Our goal is to keep the devil cub, and Hugo behind him, firmly tied to the swamp.

We don't need to win at all, we just want to not lose. What we want is to try to prolong the time of the contest without losing. If we can fight one more round, we will fight one more round, and if we can have more moves in each round, we will have more moves.

Every day we successfully hold out here, the power of the deep ocean grows stronger.

And this growth is accelerating. In the later stage, every day we hold on here, the power accumulated in the deep ocean is ten times the power we have here!
Of course I know what you mean. It's just that defense must be flexible and not just stick to the defensive position.

I agree with this statement.

But before that, I would like to remind you two to try your best to get rid of the influence of pressure and the influence of being anxious to achieve success.

I emphasize again, we are not here to have fun fighting or to defeat the demon cub. Although it seems that there is no conflict on the surface, in fact, we have not yet been able to truly understand the depth of Javier Hugo's strength.

The demon cubs he spent several years training have become powerful enemies that we cannot ignore. The Eagle's Nest Castle, which he did not care about, quickly became an important military force that stabilized a country and had the ability to quickly deploy combat power and interfere with other regions and countries.

We don’t know what other trump cards he can pull out, maybe he has none, but we can’t afford to take the risk.

Yes, the truth is, we are the weaker party. If Javier takes action personally, we will be crushed in a very short time.

After all, even if our total combat power is stronger than the Erosion Legion in the World Dream, it is only limited and there is no absolute gap.

Where are all these erosion legions now?

We are no match for Javier on the front battlefield, and our God is unable to do anything. Isn't this a weakness?
We cannot participate in the war of gods. Our goal is to obstruct Javier Hugo's reconnaissance tentacles. We cannot let the demon cub investigate unhindered, nor can we crush him to death.

Even if we squeeze too hard, it may lead to a more fierce counterattack, and then turn the war into a decisive battle that we cannot control.

What we want is time, not a decisive battle, not to win here, but to win in the future, to win against the general trend! "
