V4.Chapter 2

Pirate realm.

Sauron stood on the lighthouse watching the prosperous port in front of him, and the whole person couldn't help falling into contemplation.

Navigation requires guidance. The lighthouse is an important facility in a port. This 210-meter-high lighthouse was completed with the help of the witch council. The ordinary construction process is very troublesome. Only witches can easily build such a high building. . Because of the existence of this lighthouse, the nearby routes have become much safer, and even from a long distance, the light that guides in the darkness can be seen.

The howling sea breeze came out.

Standing here, Sauron could easily overlook the entire port. He stared at the Ocean Temple and the Temple of Wealth, which were built on the left and right sides, and murmured, "The Pirate Domain."

"Pirates, as an industry, are essentially in the field of [looting]."

"But the real [Plunder] field should be aggressive and full of various other categories, such as the king of gnolls - Yenogu, who is the god of the plunder field, and the nature of gnolls does not produce, So they survive by looting other people."

"Pirates are also a group of people who are not productive."

"Without the rules I made, they would have to snatch other caravans to survive."

"It's still too restrictive."

"Pirates are essentially no different from bandits, bandits, horse thieves, etc., but because they are active in the sea, the number of pirates is much higher than other snatch industries."

"Potential is too small."

"It's almost difficult to rely on the [Pirate] domain to encroach on the [Plunder] domain. It seems that it can only exist as an extended domain capability."

Sauron's hair fluttered in the wind.

After clarifying his thoughts, he also has a clearer plan for the future.

"Pirates [Domain]: You have an unprecedented prestige among pirates, and this domain ability allows you to gain additional bonuses in anything related to pirates. You will be more easily admired, worshipped, and followed by other pirates , when you defeat a group of pirates, you can make them submit more easily. During the battle, you can activate the [Pirate Domain], any pirate within the range of the domain will gain a courage bonus, the effect is equivalent to a 6th-level spell' Advanced Heroism'. This ability is a domain ability and has domain priority!"

[Note: Fear of divinity and legend have strengthened the effects of some pirate fields. 】

………………

This is the ability of the pirate realm.

Any domain has special abilities, and the shadow domain can travel through the shadow plane at will.

"Higher Heroism [Sixth-Level Spell]: This is an enhanced version of Heroism, which can greatly inspire the courage of others. After blessing the Greater Heroism, it can temporarily grant the target a +4 morale bonus and at the same time be immune to any fear. effect, and temporarily gain additional life equal to your caster level in battle, up to a maximum of 20 additional temporary life."

courage.

It can make people stronger, and some people who should have died have accomplished some feats just because of the belief in their hearts.

This is a temporary health bonus effect similar to 'Higher Heroism'.

There are many examples of this in the real world, and many people are so badly injured that they should die. But because of faith and courage, he competes with death for time!

The power of belief is so powerful.

Sauron's pirate realm was enhanced by fear divinity and fame. The specific effect cannot be determined, but immunity to fear is most likely a bonus effect of fear divinity. The bonus of fame should be reflected in the morale bonus. superior. Sauron has 10 wizard ranks, within the realm of pirates. The pirates under his command can gain an additional 10 points of temporary health bonus, which is close to the vitality of a professional level.

Obviously.

The ability in this field is not to improve one's own combat effectiveness.

Sauron got down from the lighthouse and looked at the pirates who had just been dragged out of the tavern in the port and taken away by the security patrol because of drunken fights and fights. All the way to the dark, huh?"

Pirates are too large in his power.

Sauron felt that he had to develop a little other power. Or train pirates into real armies.

………………

The idea is clear, the idea is clear.

Sauron is in the enhancement of demigod ability. Without hesitation, he chose 'language proficiency', 'literate proficiency' and 'interplanetary communication'.

Teleportation can be done first from the wizard level. Traveling across planes is the daily routine of high-level wizards, and Sauron's wizard professional level is about to reach that threshold.

As for the ability of [Change Form], there is no need to think about it in a short time.

Sauron currently has no divine power. Relying entirely on killing experience to master consumes a lot, and you can only choose the most important master.

Proficiency in language and literacy is important in any plane.

Sauron couldn't always rely on spiritual communication, and spiritual communication was a huge drain on the spirit.

Then there is 'interplanetary communication'. This ability is the most important. Whether Sauron can take the initiative to control the connection with the half-elves depends entirely on the ability of the half-gods.

In theory.

Sauron is now in the transition period from 'demigod' to 'false god', and he has developed the ability of believers to communicate with believers.

Now.

What Sauron needs is to wait for a true devout believer to contact him, and then use the ability of 'interplanetary communication' to tell him his [true name]!

Soren.

Maybe he has no way to bestow the magic, but as long as he can communicate, it is a start!

………………

Fallen City.

The war has made this beautiful city full of holes. The city is crowded with refugees who have fled from all over the world. The crazy attacks of orcs and gnolls have spread to many places. Only the city can provide them with shelter at such times. Those rudimentary fences could not stop the gnolls at all, and even the towering walls of Fallen Leaves City were severely damaged in the days of siege battles.

There are traces of the abyss gnoll among the enemies, and the primitive and brutal giant trebuchets of the orcs are powerful!

They have the support of the Pit Lords behind them.

The power of some siege equipment is obviously beyond the estimate, this is not a trick that half-orcs can play.

Temple of the 'God of Half-Elves and Wanderers'.

Even though the god has completely fallen, and even the statue has lost its brilliance and collapsed, but his priest did not all leave because of this.

Because of the loss of faith, life still needs to go on.

The attack of the Orcs and Gnolls increased the pressure on the city's defenses. Although the priests were unable to use divine arts, they still had the fighting skills they had trained back then. They were not spellcasters without power, they wore full-body armor wheels The existence of spells can also be cast with a warhammer. The priests also began to fight, fighting like a fighter on the front lines.

They are faithful shepherds, and they will not fall down so easily!

The belief in gods has been lost, but the belief in protecting the city and protecting the elderly and the weak is still there.

The thunderous scream came.

A large number of refugees gathered in the temple, but most of them were old and weak, women and children, and all adult men had been recruited as militiamen. This sacred and glorious temple in the past has now been turned into a refugee shelter. There are children's cries everywhere. Mothers are crying while comforting their children. They have all lost their relatives more or less in the war. .

They are short of food.

The orcs launched an attack before the crops were mature. A young and beautiful mother had no milk to feed her child because of hunger. She could not help but burst into tears when she heard the sound of the child crying. Even though she had squeezed her dry breasts hard, she still couldn't squeeze out even a drop of milk to satisfy the hungry and crying child in her arms.

She hadn't eaten for several days.

There was a trace of sympathy and pity in the eyes of the others, but there was nothing they could do, because all they could share was clear water porridge that could count the grains of rice.

The cry of the child cut the young mother's heart like a knife.

She trembled with her hands, and took out the dagger she was carrying with her from her waist. An icy cold light emerged. The young mother stared at the child in her arms and cut her fingers with the dagger.

Bright red blood flowed out.

She put her finger in the baby's mouth, hunger made the young child suck desperately, the mother gently wiped the blood from the corner of the baby's mouth with the other hand, and a smile finally appeared on her pale and beautiful face.
