The new year is getting closer.

But this year seems destined not to be too quiet. Under the continuous disasters, the entire southern region does not feel any festive news. An adult red dragon appeared near the White Horse City. Although Sauron knew for a long time that there was a dragon there, it was still an ancient red dragon, but until now, no one else has discovered its existence. This dragon caused a lot of confusion, attracted many adventurers who tried to slay the dragon, and threatened the surrounding cities to strengthen their defenses.

Red dragons are evil beings.

The bureaucratic aristocrats began to increase taxes through the existence of this dragon, and they could always find various excuses to collect additional taxes under the pretext of preventing the red dragon from attacking. There seems to be a migration of orcs in the south near the mountains, as the racial antagonisms have intensified the conflict in this area, and it seems that war may break out at any time.

There is very little information about desert areas.

However, it seems that the trade route to the east has been cut off by someone, and it seems that the chaos in the desert area is also spreading. No new cities have been destroyed, but more turmoil is still brewing. It seems that there are traces of devil believers north of the city of wealth. The demons have just been cleaned up, and demagogic devils seem to have begun to appear. Heretic gods are appearing more and more frequently, and there will be more unfamiliar faces in almost every city. It seems that the royal court of elves has also been classified, and there is a fierce dispute between the ancient tree teachings of druids and the teachings of gods.

There are rumors that some high-level druids who believed in the tree of life ran away, and even the legendary 'Earth Walker' felt a little dissatisfied with the Elf Royal Court.

The Tree Shepherds were on the side of the split druids.

As balancers and maintainers of nature, their beliefs lean more towards the tree of life than the elven gods. Druids have always been the middle force of the elves. Although the talents of the elves among other spellcasters are also very good, no one spellcaster will be more than a Druid. This thing is still brewing. The conflict is still escalating. If there is no strong force to intervene, it is very likely to lead to the split within the elves. Druids will split from the elves. Give up faith in the elven gods and go to the oldest tree of life.

This teaching is supported by a large number of outside druids. It is also widely spread among other races.

They call this [Druid's Revival]!

Among the races of humans, half-elves, orcs, half-orcs, etc., all wandering druids inspired by nature seem to support the restoration of the oldest tree of life belief. This caused the entire world Druid order to begin to shift, and more than 60% of the Druids transferred their faith to the Tree of Life. The influence of the elf pantheon in the Druids has been greatly reduced, and various Druid orders seem to be conspiring to prepare something.

The power of the elven gods has declined!

Their power waned before the turbulent year began. This seems to be something that a being is very happy to see, and she has been waiting for such an opportunity for thousands of years.

The spider god queen is weaving cobwebs, and she is waiting for the first prey to appear!

………………

in a dark canyon.

A tall and tall figure with a handsome face was advancing. He was wearing a noble robe and playing a flute in his hand. In this very eerie canyon, he walked leisurely like a stroll in a garden. A strange sound came, it seemed a little sharp and harsh, he listened to it, then raised his hand and waved to summon a piece of light. There was a dense shadow in front of him. It was a palm-sized vampire bat. There were so many of them that they almost filled this dark canyon.

Whoohoo!

A gust of wind came. The overwhelming vampire bats flew up. They had sharp fangs and dark red wings. There are probably hundreds of thousands of them, and they almost cover the sky in the canyon after flying. So many vampire bats are dangerous even for legendary professionals, but the person in front of him is not worried at all. He gently picked up the flute and played it, it was like a note from hell, and the pieces of vampire bats were black. They fell to the ground, their eyes, ears, mouth and nose dripping with traces of blood.

"Clap clap clap!"

A figure of applause sounded, and a vampire god child in a delicate dress appeared. He stared at the man in front of him and smiled: "As expected of the legendary hell poet! How dare you come here to find me alone!"

Hell Poet.

A name that is taboo in many places.

The man's face does not seem to be the one in front of him. He glanced at Reinhard indifferently, and said slowly: "God of vampires? Do you only have this little trick after you become a god? It seems that your life is not very good! I seem to hear that you are being treated by a group of people. People are chased and killed like lost dogs!"

Reinhardt's mouth twitched. But there was still an elegant smile on his face, and he slowly said: "This is only temporary. After becoming a god, I saw a wider world. An unprecedented opportunity is coming, as long as I seize this opportunity, I will If I can stand on the top of the gods, no one can stop me from ascending the throne at that time!"

The Hell Poet smiled with a playful expression on his face, and said, "Really? Then you have to escape from my men first."

Reinhardt frowned at him and said slowly: "Do you really want to fight? Why do you want to stand on their side? I can give you what they can give you, and even I am willing to share everything with you. ."

The hell poet showed a mocking smile and said softly: "What you see is just the tip of the iceberg in the world, even if you want to cooperate with me, you have to show your worth. Weak gods like you in the pantheon are but Countless!"

The figure of the other party disappeared strangely.

As if an invisible sound wave spread, the nearby vampire bats fell to death piece by piece.

………………

Viper Island.

Sauron stood on the pier and looked down on everything. In just three days, he recruited hundreds of pirates, and now his staff has reached more than 300 people. Adele's valiant figure stood on the bow, next to the first officer promoted by Sauron. Now that he had enough strength, it was time to clean up other enemies. Pirates do not need training or training. This is a profession of survival of the fittest. The strong survive and the weak are eliminated.

"Set off!"

Sauron gently landed on the head of the killer whale, facing the awe-filled gazes of other pirates, there was only a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Because he heard some bad news.

It seemed that the Cutthroat rumours had more influence than he had expected, even disturbing one of the pirate kings who ruled off the southern coast.

Pirate King 'The Mire King'!

It is not a human being, but a hybrid of a slough giant and a lizard man. The giants' life wisdom has always been low, but the Pirate King is an exception. The probability of interracial pregnancy is very low. It is said to be born because of some forbidden spells. Lizardmen are amphibians, and they can move on land as well as in water. The Swamp King is one of the pirate kings who rule near the south coast. His pirates include humans, lizardmen, murlocs, hybrid creatures, and more.

Its hold on the south coast would have been stronger had it not been for exclusion by racial lineage.

The three pirate kings each have their own.

Among them, the pirate king of Amazon stands behind the Church of Storms. She is the pirate king who believes in the Lord of Storms. Another half-Amazonian pirate king is a non-human creature who has the support of the Naga Sea and believes in the goddess of the sea. The last pirate king is the 'King of the Mire', he did not believe in any of the above gods, but gave his faith to the devil in the abyss.

That is the ancient demon [Dagon], the king of the deep sea!

One of the doctrinal records goes like this - "In the mortal world, the cult of Dagon prevails in the coastal regions, and its human followers or followers of swamp giants (tide giants, etc.) mate with half-fish creatures to Defiled their own bloodlines in exchange for the mighty power, bountiful catches, and strange treasures of riches bestowed upon them by their demon lords."

Yes.

The king of the swamp is a monster born for some reason, in exchange for the power bestowed by the abyss lord 'Dagon' at the price of tainting his own blood. But an accident happened in this ceremony. The person in charge of the ceremony did not please the evil abyss lord. It did not gain much power. On the contrary, it produced an accidental offspring in the blasphemy ceremony, which is now the 'quagmire' King', but it gained the power bestowed by the Abyss Lord 'Dagon'.

so.

A monster of mixed lizard and swamp giant blood was born.

Not only does it possess great power, but it also possesses demonic wisdom, and although this wisdom may seem a little crazy, it has become one of the three pirate kings on the south coast.

The pirate king controls the waters on the south coast near the deep sea.

Its lair is said to be in a place called Alcatraz, and only the most vicious pirates will flee to it.

It's also the only pirate king who doesn't play cards according to common sense!

Although the Pirate Kings possessed great power and power, they were still inextricably linked with the Church, and almost all acted for their own interests and situation. Only this Swamp King likes to mess around. If he is not satisfied with the re-emergence of a powerful pirate on the south coast and shoots at Sauron, then Sauron really does not have much confidence in winning him.

He needs Vivian's power!

Although Sauron could seek help from the Ocean Temple, getting it also meant paying, not to mention the news that the Naga priest told him.

Sauron still remembers the meaningful expression on the other side when he said this information!
