V8.Chapter 39

Sauron's figure instantly appeared inside the astral fortress.

The coercion belonging to the gods looms over all Githyanki people. Since the birth of the multiverse, the gods have always been above all things, whether it is the Empire of Mind Flayers, the Age of Thorium, or the Age of Arcane, although all things are The power of the gods may also develop to a certain extreme, once entering the peak period of the multiverse, but in the end, it is still impossible to truly compare with the gods. As a legacy of the mind flayer empire, the githyanki were born to avoid gods, but they were only mortals after all.

"Respected Shadow Master!"

"We didn't mean to offend Your Excellency!...We...we didn't know that Your Excellency was also...don't know..."

The leader of the Githyanki appeared in front of Sauron. Facing a god of medium power, especially when the astral fortress had been blocked, he finally gave up his resistance completely and stammered: "We are not It was intentional offense!  …”

"Please……"

He was interrupted by Sauron before he could finish speaking. He waved his finger lightly, and with the brilliance of the spell, a psionic warrior hiding in the corner and trying to sneak attack was killed on the spot.

Finger of death.

With Sauron's current spellcasting ability, it is almost difficult for mortals to avoid the instant death spells he casts.

The psionic warrior of the githyanki soon lost all his life, the power of the spell taking his soul, leaving only a pale husk.

"You make a living by plundering. When you rob others, you should have been prepared to be plundered long ago, right?"

Sauron's attitude was very cold, without the slightest pity, and the other Githyanki felt a hint of despair after hearing his words, not everyone challenged a true god head-on, even the goddess - Eugene Such an existence, so far, is one person who has challenged the secondary demon lord head-on. Fighting against the Lord of Shadows is still because of Sauron's actions. In addition, Eugene has never challenged any gods, even a god with weak power.

Although the Githyanki do not believe in gods, they know how terrifying any true god is!

Not to mention Sauron, who has medium power.

Identifying Sauron's presence was easy, as the power of the shadows had enveloped the entire fortress.

"Now you are all my captives and slaves."

"Everything you have is my spoils, and I have the right to deal with your life and death at will!"

"certainly."

"This is also according to your practice. It belongs to the rules of the astral world!"

Speaking of this, a playful smile appeared on the corner of Sauron's mouth. The Githyanki were a relatively brutal race. Because of their experience of being enslaved by mind flayers, they were also very cruel to other races.

Killing and looting are only part of it.

Because of their history of being brutally enslaved, the Githyanki people like to use their psionic energy to control and enslave the minds of other races. They are a group of robbers wandering in the astral world.

Sauron is the god of the lawful alignment.

So he won't carry out senseless killings. After the power of the priesthood of shadows overwhelmed the fortress, he decided to treat them according to the laws of the astral and the githyanki himself, turning them all into his own slaves.

Since it is a slave, then life and death are entirely under his control.

"You can try to resist!"

"I know that you are good at dealing with rebellious slaves! ... But! ... I will also treat those who try to resist according to your method! ..."

Sauron's calm voice spread throughout the fortress, and the battle over the floating tower had already stopped.

The Githyanki dared not act rashly.

Because any of their actions may invite Sauron's ruthless killing. The evil gods will sometimes reason with you, but those are their reasons, and you can only choose to obey or die.

Sauron will not forgive them.

The githyanki should plan for failure before launching a raiding attack. Compassion is meaningless, and resistance can only bring Sauron some killing experience.

"So."

"Now move the fortress close to the floating island."

Sauron stared at the githyanki leader who was dripping with sweat. As the strength of a warlord under the queen, this leader possesses the power of a high-ranking legend, but when faced with the pressure of Sauron's gods, he is like an ordinary person. This is the most fundamental gap between gods and mortals. Sauron blocked all teleportation spells with the power of a space-altering godhead. The githyanki can't even run away now.

and.

If Sauron casts a shock wave of group divine power directly, then the result is most likely to be corpses all over the place.

The huge astral fortress began to move.

Soon, the figures of Gloria and the fallen witch also appeared in the fortress. Gloria's expression was a little shocked at the moment. Although she had long known that the power of Sauron's consecration had surpassed her, when she really saw him so easily When she suppressed a githyanki tribe, her heart was still very shocked.

This is the power of the gods!

Even in the most glorious period of the Arcane Empire, the power gathered by the entire Arcane civilization was only to compete with the gods.

A sense of distance made her feel the pressure.

Because when she first met Sauron, he was just an inconspicuous thief, and now his back needs to be looked up by herself.

The Iron Golem began to enter the interior of the fortress.

Groups of Githyanki were escorted into the floating tower. There were more than 5,000 people in this group of Githyanki, and nearly half of them belonged to combatants. The entire Githyanki ethnic group is scattered like this. Standing at the highest position is the Queen of the Githyanki, a thing close to the undead, and down there are many warlord-like leaders who control their respective astral fortresses. Continue to live by plundering other races.

The leader of the githyanki watched helplessly as the steel golem escorted his people together like slaves.

He was like rebelling against Sauron, but he knew that this would only bring about the destruction of the race, and he kept trying to call upon the allies of the Githyanki, which was the legendary [Red Dragon Covenant] of the mortals. Basically any githyanki astral fortress has at least one adult red dragon as an ally. The astral fortress in front of them has three adult red dragons as allies. When they encounter powerful enemies, the leader can use the power of the covenant to summon them to assist, and the wealth obtained from looting will also be shared with the evil red dragon.

Covenant did not respond.

Even though the leader of the githyanki kept calling, but so far no red dragon has answered his call.

This group of evil and cunning dragons have turned their backs on the ancient covenant. After discovering that the enemy is a god, and also a god of medium power, none of the three red dragons who signed the covenant chose to assist them in the battle.

Because coming here is just to die.

………………

Sauron was also waiting.

In fact, he has always been resisting himself in the leader of the Githyanki people. This astral fortress is not very large, so there is very little space for a red dragon to move. This means that the red dragon covenant of this ethnic group exists as a contract, rather than directly raising the red dragon in it. He is waiting for the other party to summon the red dragon to appear. A githyanki fortress certainly has a lot of wealth, but if If you can slay the dragon by the way, then it is naturally the best thing.

There are fewer and fewer dragons on the material plane!

Most of the dragons live in the Dragon Island and the Dragon Kingdom, and even the gods can easily enter, because that is the territory of the Dragon God.

If the leader of the other party can summon a few red dragons, Sauron must be able to make another profit. Unfortunately, it seems that the cunning Red Dragon knew of Sauron's existence. After waiting for so long, he didn't see any sign of resistance.

The Red Dragon Covenant cannot summon allies to assist.

The leader of the Githyanki gave up resistance because of desperation, and Sauron's plan seemed to be in vain. It should have something to do with him revealing the power of Godhead too early, all these red dragons were too scared to come.

Although the githyanki were captured, what to do with them was also a problem.

This race is born with its own psionic power. As a slave, it must be very powerful creatures to control them, such as natural high-level species like mind flayers.

The high priest should have a solution.

However, before branding them as slaves, I am afraid that some shackles to seal their power must be prepared.

"The Great Master of Shadows!"

After it was truly determined that the Red Dragon Covenant had expired, the leader of the Githyanki finally gave up hope of resisting Sauron, but he still didn't want his people to lose their freedom because of this, so he walked to Sauron with a rough mood. , bowed his head humbly and said, "It is our fault to offend the great you!"

"According to the rules of the astral world, as losers, we should be your captives."

"but."

"I hope to make a deal with Your Excellency in exchange for the freedom of the Hui people."

Sauron laughed when he heard the words, and said slowly: "You are my captives now, and everything in the entire fortress is my spoils."

"I'm curious what else do you have to trade with me?"

The leader of the Githyanki said solemnly, "Yes."

"I have another news."

"I believe that Your Excellency will definitely be very interested in it, and I hope to use it in exchange for the freedom of the clan."

Sauron frowned when he heard the words, and said slowly, "What news?"

The leader of the Githyanki looked at Sauron with firm eyes, and said solemnly, "The corpse of the ancient god floating in the astral world."

"I hope to exchange the freedom of the clan with a floating ancient god's corpse."

"We Githyanki have been wandering in the astral world all our lives, and only we know where the corpses of some ancient gods are! If Your Excellency is willing to give freedom to my people, I am willing to tell Your Excellency the location of an ancient god's body. "

"If you don't want to."

"Then even if you kill me and torture my soul, it is impossible to get any news."

"The hearts and souls of the Githyanki have been tested by mind flayers, and I believe that your Excellency should know the corpse of an ancient god and a group of insignificant slaves."

"Which is more important!"
