I am a god in another world
Chapter 903: Burn the Boats
This power struggle is not only a secular battle, but also a battle of faith.
The killing lama, headed by the national master Scanbuch, has been operating beside Yamen Khan for more than ten years and is deeply rooted.
Their purpose is very clear, which is to make Yamen Khan their life-killing Buddha.
Although their killing Buddha is suspected to be another aspect of the murder god Baal in the Karatu subcontinent, it does not mean that these killing lamas can easily accept their followers of the murder god.
Members of the same church may kill each other due to different understandings of their beliefs, not to mention their seemingly different appearances. The doctrines are very different, and only the killing characteristics are relatively similar.
If they had taken refuge at that time, even if Yamen Khan accepted it happily, those killing lamas would have tried their best to suppress them, and their life would definitely not have been easy.
They took refuge with Yamen Khan when he was in the most difficult time, and their nature was different.
Not only will they be taken more seriously, but they will also take the opportunity to connect Yamen Khan with Baal, the former god of murder, making their god's return just around the corner.
This is evidence that these priests have regained their spellcasting abilities - when the gods die, the priests who believe in them will lose the corresponding spellcasting abilities (hit dice will not be affected).
There are only two ways for them to regain the ability to cast spells. One is to place their hope on their own god, hoping that he can return to the throne of god.
The other turns to serving other gods and obtains corresponding spellcasting abilities from them.
Most sacrificial priests will choose the latter, especially those who are the successors of the corresponding priesthood, even if the other party has usurped the previous god and obtained the corresponding priesthood - Cyric, the god of conspiracy, is an example of this.
Only a very small number continue to stick to it for various purposes.
These are not things that simple fanatics can summarize clearly. The reason why many people insist on persevering is not because of the fallen gods, but because of their own reasons. Often that is the most fanatical and unshakable one.
Imperial Master Scanbuch's eyes flickered for a few times, and the smile on his face became more kind, and he responded: "Since the Archbishop has made it so clear, if I continue to disagree, it will seem too petty.
Okay, just do as the Archbishop said, let's get through this difficulty together first.
After all, if anything goes wrong with Tian Khan, all your plans and mine will be in vain. "
If you want the other party to lead the undead army into battle, you must give him corresponding commitments and guarantees.
"It would be best for the national master to understand this truth." Umrant no longer hesitated, "Rescuing people is like putting out fire. I immediately sent people to mobilize the undead army and strive to break through the city's defense facilities in Teflam City as quickly as possible. Send you into the city."
General Bartumih took the opportunity to pat his chest and promised: "As long as you can create a suitable fighter plane, our army will definitely press forward."
Compared to Umrant and the Scandinavian Masters who had their own evil intentions, his thoughts were the simplest. He just wanted to follow Yamen Khan and lead the Tukan people to move forward and build an empire that belonged to them.
So that their descendants no longer need to suffer from the unpredictable weather of the endless wilderness, and there will no longer be the tragic phenomenon of human cannibalism.
This is the closest they have come to their dream, and he will never give up easily unless absolutely necessary.
After the Tukan Triumvirate reached an agreement, the turmoil continued, but was far less severe than before.
The undead army that surrounded Teflam on three sides surged forward in mighty force.
Their tactic is only one - the sea of the dead.
The undead army of the Tukan people is dominated by corpse-like undead such as skeletons, zombies and skeleton knights. They are all dead creatures without any intelligence and can only carry out the simplest orders.
Although the priests of the murder god led by Umrant can drive this undead army, they are not the same as the personal control of Yamen Khan, and they cannot conduct more refined command.
"Hold still, hold still, hold still, and obey my orders."
"Everyone checks their bows and arrows and prepares to light the fire."
"Praise the name of Ms. Strategy, victory will surely belong to us."
Ms. Strategy’s dedicated priests ran back and forth on the city wall, repeating the same orders and slogans.
There is far more to boosting morale than directing operations.
Although Tefram's city defense army is composed of mercenaries, their quality is much higher than expected. Most of them are professionals and have rich combat experience.
If you think about it carefully, it's not surprising.
Although Teflam City is not a place of four battles, it is not a peaceful place either.
The wealth here attracted a large number of peepers for them, and these mercenary city defense troops only shouldered the responsibility of defending the city during war.
In non-war times, many have to engage in a series of combat tasks such as suppressing bandits, guarding trade routes, escorting goods, and exterminating pirates. It is normal to have rich combat experience.
It just lacks large-scale combat experience.
This part is completed by the exclusive sacrifices of the strategic ladies.
On the eve of the war, the walls of Teflam City fell into silence until high-pitched orders were heard.
"Light the fire, launch the crossbow!"
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The terrifying bowstring trembled, resounding through the walls of Tefram City.
There are no less than a thousand ballistae and ballistae placed on each city wall.
This was still the result of Gavin and the others ordering people to evacuate two-thirds.
The more defense equipment there are, the better. Once it starts to hinder the deployment of the city defense army, it will be more trouble than gain.
The rulers of Tevram City fully demonstrated their money power in this matter.
The city defense equipment here is not only numerous and varied, but also some are enchanted automatic crossbows and crossbows, which can condense magic ammunition by themselves and automatically aim and shoot.
Those businessmen and rich people will do anything to protect this city.
Even if Gavin took over the city defense work of Tevram and proposed a battle plan to invite gods, there are still people who proposed to spend money to hire pirates from the Falling Star Sea to fight for them and protect Tevram.
This absurd suggestion was directly rejected by Gavin.
This is purely asking a group of hungry wolves to protect a group of fat lambs, just in case the tigers don't rush in, the hungry wolves will eat the lambs first.
These city defense crossbows fired all rockets, which penetrated a large number of enemies while tearing the night sky apart, allowing the defenders on the city wall to see the situation outside clearly.
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Wherever they looked, there were dense green eyes, or white skeletons, or frozen zombies.
The rockets fired from the city defense crossbow carts were so powerful that they could easily penetrate several skeleton soldiers or zombies, and even set some of them on fire.
There were many of them, and the entire city of Tevram was full of densely packed burning points.
But compared with the sea of undead of the Tukans, it was not good enough.
This also verified the cruelty of the Tukans from the side. They not only slaughtered all the Sesk people along the way, but also turned them into tools.
If they couldn't defend Tevram, they would have the same fate.
But could they defend it?
"Don't panic, don't get confused. They are just a group of undead monsters without wisdom. They don't carry siege equipment. It is difficult to break through the double defense line of the city defense maze and the city wall."
"All archers, get ready, load holy water arrows, listen to my orders, shoot, shoot, shoot."
The exclusive priests of Ms. Strategy calmed the emotions of the city defense mercenaries while giving orders again.
Countless arrows rose into the air at the same time.
Ahhh... Aoao...
Whether it was the skeleton soldiers or the zombies, they all let out unconscious painful roars. White smoke was sizzling at the places where the arrows fell. Many of them walked and fell to the ground with a plop, and could never get up again, and became dead again.
No matter what kind of undead, the most important thing is the undead energy composed of negative energy and residual souls in their bodies, which is commonly known as soul fire.
The soul fire is immortal, and the undead are immortal.
This gives the undead many characteristics.
Both skeleton soldiers and zombies are very resistant to piercing attacks. They are often covered with arrows and can stagger towards the enemy.
But their shortcomings are also fatal - they are extremely afraid of positive energy.
Because positive energy will neutralize the negative energy in the soul fire and extinguish it directly.
It is no secret that Yamen Khan has formed a huge army of undead, and Gavin has naturally made full preparations.
A large number of holy water arrows are one of them.
Holy water arrows are not modified by oil like rockets, but a customized special arrow.
Their arrows are not ordinary arrows, but a fragile glass bottle filled with holy water.
After hitting the target, the glass bottle breaks, and the holy water inside will splash out, launching a purification attack on it.
The effect is no different from splashing or smashing the target directly with a holy water bottle.
The only difference is the holy water content.
In order to facilitate the launch, the holy water bottle on the holy water arrow naturally cannot be made into a bloated big-bellied bottle, but adopts a slender structure, and the holy water contained in it is only one-tenth of the ordinary holy water bottle.
In other words, the lethality of the holy water arrow hitting the target is one-tenth of that of the ordinary holy water bottle - it is related to the holy water in the bottle.
More precisely, it is related to the positive energy contained in it.
The more concentrated the positive energy, the greater the impact on those undead or negative energy creatures.
Here we are referring to ordinary holy water arrows, and the holy water arrows launched from the city of Tevram are no less lethal than holy water bottles, and even have flammable properties.
Because these holy water arrows are not filled with ordinary holy water, but holy light liquor from the Hammer of Justice Monastery.
Under the same unit conditions, the positive energy contained in liquor is ten times more than that of water, and high-concentration liquor is also flammable.
This is the greatest use of holy light liquor.
The benefits of holy water arrows are also obvious, and its attack range is not comparable to that of holy water bottles.
Especially in this kind of large-scale city defense, when thousands of arrows were fired at the same time, the lethality was quite amazing.
Those undead who were not afraid of life and death fell in groups.
"Get the catapult ready, put on the holy water bucket, and release it."
In terms of the strongest lethality, the catapults were still the ones.
What they threw out were no longer huge stones or loose stones, but sealed wooden barrels, all filled with holy water that had been blessed by priests and guided to be infused with positive energy.
These wooden barrels were not converted from water barrels, but wine barrels looted from the whole city, of different sizes.
The big ones were as tall as an adult and could hold three or four hundred kilograms of water.
The small ones were also as tall as an adult's waist, and it was easy to hold hundreds of kilograms of water.
In order to maximize their lethality, these holy water barrels are also stuffed with flutter bombs, the cheapest version of weak flutter bombs.
Their function is not to blow up the enemy, but to detonate in the air when the holy water bucket is thrown over the enemy.
As one can imagine, the undead below fell down in pieces again.
Without any protection, these middle and low-level undead could not withstand the devastation of this kind of holy water rain.
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
The devastating scenes brought about by targeted tactics caused cheers to ring out from the city walls, which greatly enhanced their self-confidence.
No matter how many enemies there are, if they can't even touch the city wall, it's just a plate of food.
These middle and low-level undead lacked long-range attack methods and could not pose a threat to the walls of Teflam City.
In a short period of time, he is a living target.
"Without the power of our Lord, the power of these undead cannon fodder is greatly reduced. If we continue to fight like this, they will be exhausted without waiting for dawn, but the enemy's supplies are endless. These holy water, even the lowest priests can Can be produced in large quantities.”
Umrant's brows furrowed, "National advisor, general, do you have a way to tear apart the opponent's city defense and send them into the city?"
This undead army was originally used to cooperate with Yamen Khan's actions.
In the world, no city's defenses can stop Yamen Khan, who carries the power of terror and killing.
He only needs one blow to cause the city's city defense locks and walls to collapse at the same time. These undead souls can take advantage of the situation and flood in, easily dragging the entire city into hell and causing endless killings.
But now Yamen Khan is trapped.
This tactic was missing the most critical link, and it was naturally useless.
"Many of our methods have to rely on Tian Khan to exert their maximum power. Now if we want to maximize the power of the killing lamas, we can only stimulate and strengthen their power through large-scale killing and sacrifice. This requires time to prepare. "Master Scanbhe's words are not excuses.
Although he did not deal with the bishops and priests of these murderous gods, he could still distinguish the priorities.
This undead army was completely destroyed under the walls of Teflam, which would certainly greatly weaken Umrant's influence in front of Yamen Khan.
But if Yamen Khan is dead, what's the point of doing this?
"Please also ask the Archbishop to wait and let the undead move out of the way. I will organize the Tukan warriors to use the military souls to attack the city wall of Tefram and see if it will work."
General Bartumih said in detail, "Prince Hubadei was forced to use this move in Mosantir City before, and now he who is commanding the defense of Teflam City is the same as the one commanding the Leatherman Kingdom's army. is the same person.
This person is the chosen one of the Goddess of Strategy. He is proficient in strategy and has an interlocking style of behavior. I am afraid that he has already formulated a response strategy and there is no way to achieve miraculous results. "
"Then use a two-pronged approach." Umrant said with an extremely cold expression, "Murder and sacrifice all the remaining slave soldiers to strengthen the killing lama.
Success or failure depends on this.
If we succeed, we will establish endless great achievements.
If we fail, our grand plan will be ruined. "
"Okay, just follow the Archbishop's plan." General Bartumih agreed without thinking.
For people in their position, decisiveness is a must-have quality.
As long as they can win the final victory of the war, let alone the slave soldiers, even the Tukan people can give up if they say they can.
The current situation is obvious. Without the use of unconventional forces, no matter how large their numbers are, they will not be able to take down the hard nut of Tefram in a short period of time.
Under normal circumstances, such a large city would besieged for a long time, forcing the enemy to surrender voluntarily by running out of food supplies.
It is not unusual for it to take several months or several years.
This move is not easy to use against Teflam City.
Because the other side is a port city, one side faces the sea and has a large number of excellent ports.
Unless they have the sea power to cut off their sea supply lines.
Now the Tukan people cannot afford it, for multiple reasons.
Their baggage was running low.
The Faerun coalition forces will arrive at any time.
Yamen Khan was trapped in the kingdom of the God of Lady Strategy, and was also caught in a difficult siege battle.
It is not necessary for the three conditions to be met at the same time. As long as one condition is met first, it will be when Tukan's army enters a desperate situation.
…
Under the night, it was not just Tukan's three giants who were whispering and planning.
When Yamen Khan was trapped in the kingdom of the God of Lady Strategy, the shadows around the Tukan people seemed to be becoming restless, and it seemed that countless figures were using his cover to do secretive things.
Especially among the slave soldiers of the Tukan people, the undercurrent was even greater. When Yamen Khan was trapped, many thoughts that he had not dared to move at first grew crazily in his heart like weeds.
Anyone with a slightly normal IQ can detect that Tukan's army is now a volcano that can erupt at any time. Once it erupts, it will not only burn everything around it, but it will also be devastated. Especially slave soldiers like them will bear the brunt.
Although those Tukan people had never regarded them as human beings, they had at least regarded them as wealth and would not consume them easily unless absolutely necessary.
As they continued to move westward, Yamen Khan's power grew stronger and stronger, and his style of behavior became more and more crazy. Not only did the killing lamas respond to their call, but even the Tukans seemed to be influenced by him, becoming more bloodthirsty and cruel.
Especially after being injured in Lake Asen, Yamen Khan ran all the way to the evil god. Fear and anxiety were accumulating in the hearts of these slave soldiers, because they were afraid that they would follow the footsteps of those weak slave soldiers and become the objects of murder and sacrifice. Their souls would be enslaved forever by Yamen Khan, and their bodies would continue to be their puppet tools.
Yamen Khan was trapped, and they could be said to be mixed with joy and sorrow.
Joy, they wished that Yamen Khan would be completely eliminated and help them remove the huge stone pressing on their heads.
Worry, those Tukans would definitely do whatever it took to rescue Yamen Khan, and the situation of these slave soldiers became extremely dangerous.
At this time, many slave soldiers and officers welcomed their secret visitors, but the way they visited was a bit incredible. (End of this chapter)
