I am a god in another world
Chapter 769 Air Suppression
Serpent dragons built as weapons of war are even more extreme than flying dragons. As far as is known, no serpent dragon is good or lawful. These creatures usually show a kind of hatred, hostility and cruelty to all living creatures, especially Regarding giant dragons, they will attack all types of giant dragons they encounter without hesitation, provided that the opponent is weaker than themselves. Their favorite food is dragon eggs.
During the war between giants and dragons, what they were best at was that after the giant dragons were attracted from their lairs, they would secretly sneak into the dragon's lair and kill everyone they encountered along the way. All living things are swallowed into their stomachs, so they are also nicknamed Dragon Egg Killers.
It was this characteristic that led to them being jointly pursued by giant dragons. Even after the war between giants and dragons had ended countless years ago, this caused the number of snake dragons on the continent of Faerûn to shrink sharply, and they could only shrink to an extremely small size. remote areas.
The Dark Territory, which most dragons seldom set foot on, is their favorite place. Their python-like gliding style makes them very adaptable to life in the Dark Territory.
There are even some drow cities that have signed offensive and defensive alliances with some powerful snake dragons, or directly enslaved them to use as their own war weapons.
"Milles, from today on, she is your mistress, so I have to respect her." The cloud giant threw away the half-eaten roasted bull.
The huge body of the Gray Snake Dragon ejected like a python, took the roasted bull into his mouth, chewed it, and then swallowed the meat and bones together into his stomach.
His eating combines the characteristics of a giant dragon and a giant snake. He can tear and chew, and his extremely elastic body and stomach allow him to swallow wholeheartedly like a snake.
After swallowing half of the whole roasted cow in two or two mouthfuls, the Gray Snake Dragon neighed disdainfully: "If she wants to be my mistress, she must rely on her own ability to prove that she is qualified, not because your lower body dominates you. 's brain."
Compared with the flying dragons whose intelligence is declining, the snake dragons still retain the high wisdom of the giant dragons. It is not difficult to see from the attitude towards the Cloud Giant that the Cloud Giant's control over him is quite limited.
The Cloud Giant snorted coldly, and without arguing too much with the Gray Snake Dragon, he directly ordered: "Gather the troops and follow me on the expedition."
"As you wish." Gray Snake Dragon's fierce eyes flashed with excitement. He didn't care who the Cloud Giant's enemy was this time. It didn't make much difference to him. He stretched out his head and made a trilling sound below. A complete roar.
"Your Majesty, you must not act rashly." Dilila admonished, "Previously, the Zhentarim's Darkhold, the merchants of Sembia, and the local forces in the Goblin Borderlands gathered tens of thousands of monster armies. They tried to besiege the conqueror's army in the goblin frontier, but suffered the loss of not understanding them.
Not only did they lose their troops, but they also lost the entire goblin frontier, giving them a chance to build a city and establish a foothold in the goblin frontier. It would be even more difficult to eradicate them.
Looking at the war history of this blasphemer, it is not difficult to find that he is very good at defensive counterattacks, luring the enemy to attack him, eliminating the enemy's effective forces, and then taking advantage of the situation to counterattack.
We should not give him this opportunity to make full use of the characteristics of the Thunder Peak Mountains that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, squeeze the surrounding resources to strengthen himself, and continue to pose a threat to him, so that he has to organize troops to attack us and use his effective strength. After most of it is consumed, it won’t be too late for us to emerge from the mountains again. "
The drow priestess will naturally not miss any opportunity to study her enemies, and has summarized many characteristics that even the parties involved are not aware of.
The Storm King's conflict with Gavin was exactly what she expected, but not in this hasty way.
She didn't want the right helper she had just found to be killed by her enemy after she had spent so much effort.
If that were the case, he would have another headache.
There was unconcealable pride in the Cloud Giant's expression, "Don't compare me with those monsters in the wilderness. In many wars, what matters is not the numbers, but the suppression of troops. Today I will let you see what it means to be in the air." Suppression, what is despair?”
"But..." Before the drow priestess could speak again.
A violent flapping sound of wings came from overhead, and a huge creature swooped down from the top of Thunder Peak. It was another flying creature that was rarely seen.
It has a pair of huge fleshy wings and a long tail, with giant shark-like fins on its back. Its head is shaped like a crocodile, but has no eyes. It has a huge horn-like protrusion, but its body looks like a reptilian creature. The overall appearance is yellow-green, with the wings and dorsal fin leaning towards yellow, the body and head leaning towards green, and the uneven sharp teeth are yellow, and it has a pair of claws similar to those of a flying dragon, but smaller.
Although it clearly had no eyes, it was able to accurately fly towards the Gray Snake Dragon that sent the signal. Since it was swooping down from Thunder Peak, its speed was quite astonishing.
When I got closer, I realized that its size was astonishing. Even the Cloud Giant and the Gray Snake Dragon were put to shame in front of it. Its wingspan was more than 18 meters. The crocodile's mouth was slightly open, and its long tongue kept moving in its mouth. It trembles and makes a strange buzzing sound. If you are right in front of its big mouth, you will feel a little dizzy.
This is a way for this flying creature called Horned Winged Monster to see things. Like a bat, it uses sound waves to locate. The horn protrusion on its head is used to collect the sound transmitted back, which gives them an ultra-long visual range and can find prey several kilometers away through sound waves.
When the Horned Winged Monster passed by the clouds of the Flying Throne, the Gray Snake Dragon jumped up and jumped onto its back. Its long snake-like lower body was firmly coiled on its dorsal fin, and a pair of hunched dragon claws were directly nailed deeply into the back of the Horned Winged Monster.
The severe pain made the Horned Winged Monster involuntarily open its mouth and let out a huge roar, and a group of shaped sound waves gushed out directly from its throat.
Boom!
A boulder not far away exploded with a loud bang, and several boulders with a diameter of two or three meters were directly blown away and rolled down the steep hillside. Screams came from below, where the ground servants of the cloud giant were stationed.
The horned-winged monster obviously did not just use sound as a detector, it could turn its own sound waves into attacks to attack its enemies.
"Haha..."
Both the cloud giant and the gray snake dragon laughed with great joy, not only did they not feel the slightest guilt, but they also saw fun in it.
The gray snake dragon gently pulled its right claw, and the painful horned-winged monster involuntarily turned around and began to climb. It was obvious that it had long been accustomed to serving as an aerial mount for the gray snake dragon.
After climbing to a certain height, the horned-winged monster opened its mouth and roared again. Compared with the unconscious roar last time, this time it was more terrifying after accumulating power. Visible sound waves continued to gush out of its mouth. Not only the surrounding air was shaking constantly, but even the surrounding ground was shaking.
The snow layer of Thunder Peak seemed to slide down with it. If there had not been a big avalanche a few hours ago, it would have caused a big avalanche.
Strangely, Dilila did not hear the huge roar, but felt nauseous and vomited by the trembling in the air.
This is a long-distance audio sound wave that can be transmitted to the ears of designated creatures.
Countless birds flew up from the various hills of the Thunder Peak Mountains and flew towards the flying throne of the cloud giant.
No.
Those were not birds.
If they were birds, how could they be seen clearly from such a distance?
They were huge flying monsters, but they looked like birds because they were too far away.
Griffins, flying dragons, horned-winged monsters, hippogriffs, harpies...
This is simply a gathering of flying monsters, with hundreds of them at a glance.
After seeing the composition of this army, Dilila swallowed the other advice that was on her lips. She understood what the cloud giant meant by air suppression and guessed the tactics he was going to use.
He was going to use these air monsters to launch an air attack on the conqueror army.
For ordinary people, any one of these air monsters would be a disaster, bringing huge destruction and casualties, not to mention the cluster appearance, which could easily bring them great panic.
There is no need to completely defeat them, just to cause them a certain degree of casualties and cause partial collapse, and they can drive them away from behind, just like driving a frightened flock of sheep. Their own turmoil will bring them considerable harm.
Even if they finally regroup, it will be a big blow to the reputation of the conqueror Gavin.
Not to mention that their harassment will be continuous.
Without a matching air force, it is difficult for ground forces to pose a substantial threat to these flying monsters.
The flying monster army of the cloud giant is mainly composed of three parts.
The first to arrive were hundreds of horned winged monsters, which looked exactly like the one ridden by the gray snake dragon, but were twice as small, with a wingspan of only eight or nine meters.
They were all equipped with special saddles, on which rode a kind of humanoid creature that Dilira had never seen before.
These creatures were almost as wide as their height, with thick and long heads, and the lower part of the face and jaw tilted downward to cover the chest. Its pair of small rhino-like ears stood high above the head, and its two small black eyes were deeply sunken in the face.
The chin was covered with a thick layer of crystal beard that pierced outward, and two small crystal fangs protruded upward from the lower lip.
The creature's skin was dark grey, and like its chin, crystals grew outward from its shoulders and joints. Its two broad, short and hard fingers were covered with thick crystal nails, and it had an equally broad thumb. It was muscular and fully armed, with a huge composite longbow on its back, and a steel warhammer and steel war shield hanging from its waist.
Its exposed skin was dark grey, and it had no voice or expression, just staring coldly at everything around it, and it obviously lacked enthusiasm for the cloud giant.
The cloud giant introduced in a proud and boastful tone: "They are earth crystal people, residents from the earth elemental plane. They migrated to the peaks deep in the Thunder Peak Mountains thousands of years ago, and tamed the native horned winged monsters here to serve as their mounts. Before I came, they were the overlords here, ruling as many as ten peaks. Now they serve me."
Before the cloud giant finished speaking, another group of flying cavalry arrived. Their number was slightly smaller, only about sixty or seventy, but their momentum was no less than that of the horned winged beast cavalry.
They were all fat and strong flying dragons, with extremely strong orcs riding on their backs. They were not only equipped with huge composite longbows, but also had rows of javelins inserted on their sides. They also had this common mark - their left eyes were empty, without eyeballs, but not empty, but flashing with bloody light.
If one or two of them were in this situation, it would still be an accident. If all of them were in this situation, it would be intentional.
This kind of orc has a special name - the Eye of Gruumsh.
Speaking of them, we have to talk about the origin of orcs. In orc legends, in ancient times, the gods gathered together to divide the world for their followers.
Gruumsh, the god of orcs, announced that he had taken the mountains, but found that it had been captured by dwarves.
He turned to announce that he had taken the forest, but the elves had already lived there.
Gruumsh's two declarations failed. He gained nothing and was even mocked by the gods. So Gruumsh responded with his rage. He destroyed the mountains, burned the forests, and left deep cracks on the earth with his divine giant spear. He created the orc race and declared that the orcs would destroy and replace all races that rejected them.
To this day, the orcs still maintain this characteristic. They continue to wage wars against humans, elves, dwarves and other intelligent races.
Among all races, they hate the elves the most, because in ancient times, the elf god Corellon and the orc god Gruumsh had fought a war of gods. The two races have different accounts of that war of gods. The elves emphasized that it was a fair fight, while the orcs called it a sneak attack.
No matter how the battle went, one thing is certain, that is, Gruumsh's left eye was blinded by an arrow shot by the elf god Corellon. In order to remember this shame, Gruumsh did not try to repair his blind eye, and always showed himself as a one-eyed person, including his divine incarnation.
In order to show their piety, many orcs killed an elf in the name of Gruumsh and sacrificed their bodies to the god of slaughter. Then, they would have the Stigma of Gruumsh, a scar on their left eye.
However, to make this stigma complete, they would need to dig out their left eye and offer it to Gruumsh, symbolizing their pain and anger. After completing the sacrifice ceremony, Gruumsh would grant the orc a certain spellcasting ability and a unique favor - the Wrath of Gruumsh.
From then on, they would receive a special title and open an exclusive advanced profession for orcs, the Eye of Gruumsh.
Only those powerful orcs could get this favor, or in other words, only the powerful could survive.
Over time, the Eye of Gruumsh became synonymous with the elite of orcs.
When countless Eyes of Gruumsh appeared on the battlefield, it meant that the orcs had already exhausted their elites, and it was also the beginning of the disaster for those intelligent beings.
They are more aggressive, more easily angry, and more cruel than ordinary orcs. Wherever they go, no one will be left alive, only endless killing.
A group of Eyes of Gruumsh riding on flying dragons are even more powerful, and the combat power they can burst out is naturally more terrifying.
The last to arrive is the largest number, about two hundred, and their strength is relatively the weakest. They are a group of bird demons with human bodies, bird claws on their feet, and huge eagle wings behind them, also known as harpies.
Their most powerful weapon is not claws or sticks, but the song of temptation.
However, this kind of charm weapon is okay against ordinary people or beasts, but it is obviously not enough against monsters or extraordinary professionals. Their will is usually very firm, and they even have the ability to resist this kind of charm.
When they saw the Horned Winged Warcraft Cavalry, they were like cats seeing mice, hiding far away and not daring to get close.
Both the Earth Crystal People and the Horned Winged Warcraft are masters of sonic attacks. Not only are they highly resistant to their songs of temptation, they can even suppress them to a certain extent.
There are also a few other griffins and hippogriffs, but they are obviously not large enough and are not worth mentioning.
From their distribution around the flying throne, we can see their status in this monster kingdom.
The flying dragon orc cavalry is in the innermost circle, the horned winged monster cavalry is slightly outside, and the harpies can only surround them from a distance.
"Send troops!" The cloud giant waved his hand, and the flying throne took the lead to fly eastward.
Thunder Peak is difficult to climb, that is for those who try to conquer it with their feet, but for a group of flying soldiers, it is not too easy to cross it.
The cloud giants did not try to fly directly over the top of Thunder Peak, not only because of the thunder storm that shrouds there all year round, but also because there are evil existences there that make them afraid, even they dare not provoke them easily.
They went around the east side of Thunder Peak, where there are large tracts of sparsely planted wasteland, and many places are even barren. This place belongs to the disappearing valley of Death Valley, Sesiren Valley, where Dilira planned her conspiracy before.
Their target was clear: the Tivanton Rift.
This is the northern border between the Kingdom of Cormyr and the Valley. Most of the border between the two countries is separated by the Thunder Peak Mountains, but there are three trade routes connecting them. From north to south, they are the Moon Sea Highway through the Tifantun Rift, the East Road through the Thunder Rift, and the Thunder Road through the High Valley.
Among the three roads, the best one is the Moon Sea Highway through the Tifantun Rift. This rift is located between the Thunder Peak Mountains and the Desert Mouth Mountains.
The Tifantun Rift has the word "rift" in its name. In fact, like the Misty Valley, it is a narrow plain sandwiched between two mountains. The narrowest place is more than ten kilometers, and the widest place is as much as twenty kilometers.
This place once belonged to the Sesseren Valley. After the demise of this valley, it was taken over by Tifantun.
After passing through this canyon, it means leaving Cormyr and officially entering the Valley. This migration road that took three months and 3,500 kilometers is finally coming to a perfect end.
