Game of the World Tree - Chapter 348

348. Chapter 346: War in the Underworld

In the Kingdom of the World Tree.

Eve, who had returned from Black Rock City, sat on her throne, thinking back to the exchange and agreement she had just made with Hela, and was thoughtful:

“I had long anticipated that with the increase in magic power, the peace in various parts of the Segos world would inevitably be broken, but I didn’t expect that the first to go to war would be the underground world…” That’s

right, the underground world went to war.

This time Hela used the divine descent to find Him, for nothing else, it was when the two true gods signed the true god oath, the third article of the treaty –

“Eve must assist Hela’s believers in fighting against the power of Holder, the god of darkness and shadow, in the Segos world…”

Speaking of which… this matter is actually related to Eve.

In the chaotic underground world, the forces of all parties are intricate. Although war, conquest, decline and collapse constitute a similar cycle of various civilizations in the dark region, they have maintained a delicate balance as a whole for thousands of years.

However, since last year, the magic power of the entire Segos plane has suddenly begun to increase, and the underground world has naturally been affected accordingly.

The recovery of magic power has led to a surge in the strength of the beasts and monsters in the Underdark, and the strength comparison of various races has also changed significantly. A new batch of strong people have emerged in those races that originally had high potential but were limited by low magic power…

The change in strength has brought about a change in mentality and an increase in desire. Ambition has begun to expand among the countries, and naturally… the war has begun.

Of course, war is the norm in the Underdark, but with the increase in magic power, everyone’s strength has become stronger, and the intensity of the war and the destructive power to the underground world have naturally increased.

It’s just… if it was just a fight between underground civilizations, it would be fine. When the power of the true god is involved, everything is different.

The first to react was Holder, the god of darkness and shadows. This ancient existence, who is also the true god of the underworld, is the most powerful true god in the underground.

After the magic power of the Segos world was further improved, the forces in the underground world who believed in Him began to stir, and the war between the city-states of the dark dwarves and underground gnomes protected by Hela was inevitable.

At present, some underground city-states have already exchanged fire, and there have been a large number of casualties…

Obviously, this is Holder’s intention to expel Hela’s forces from the plane of Segos.

The only good thing is that the true gods of both sides have not officially torn their faces apart, started a war of faith, and sent down their own messengers.

Of course, if it really comes to that, it means a complete break between the true gods of the underworld, and the war of gods is inevitable… And considering the location of the kingdoms of the two true gods, the final result may be the fall of the true gods, or even more seriously, it is not impossible to break up the underworld.

So… Although the believers have already started a real fire, and the warring city-states have fought their brains, the atmosphere in the underworld is quite subtle.

In the final analysis… It’s because Hela and Holder are not ready to tear their faces apart completely.

In addition, they are not pure true gods of faith, and the believers are just icing on the cake for them. Although the battle on the plane of Segos has been taken seriously by them, it is not enough for them to gamble everything and start a real war of gods.

However… This is exactly the crux of the problem.

The layout of the Goddess of Death Hela in the underground world was much later than that of the God of Darkness and Shadows Holder.

If the two sides really broke out and started a war of gods, Hela, the Goddess of Death with the Legion of Heroes, might be able to defeat the other side. However, if the battle was fought entirely by the forces of the underground world, it would be obvious that Hela was not the opponent of the other side.

The most critical reason was that the population of Hela’s underground forces was too small, and the mid- and low-end strength was too weak.

At this time, Hela naturally thought of Eve’s Chosen Legion.

After the battle of Black Rock City and the battle between the orcs and the players that gradually spread in the underground world, Hela, the Goddess of Death, who also paid much attention to this, naturally noticed the combat power of the players.

Although this group of visitors from other worlds were weak as a whole, they were not afraid of death. They were very powerful among the same level. More importantly, they were very united, easy to mobilize, and could be used repeatedly…

For wars in the secular world, such beings are simply natural cannon fodder…

Uh, no, they are natural armies.

Therefore, Hela plans to borrow troops from Eve.

One thing that needs to be mentioned here is that in the Segos universe, the gap in strength between ordinary creatures and extraordinary creatures is very large, and the strength of extraordinary beings of different levels is also very different.

The weakest level 1 mage apprentice can only rub out a small fireball the size of a finger at best, but a level 100 mage at the peak of the upper gold level can cast a meteorite that can cause a fatal blow to an undefended small city…

Not to mention breaking through the secular class and being promoted to the legendary level, such beings can cast kilometer-level forbidden spells with just a wave of their hands, and demigods can easily destroy a forest or a mountain range…

As for the true gods…

They fight without regard for the consequences and can completely destroy a plane.

However, although the strength of the extraordinary beings is very different, when two forces with similar high-end strengths fight, the army composed of low-end and middle-end professionals and even ordinary people is still important.

This is because the strong are strong, but also destined to be scarce, and because of the proliferation of artifacts in the Segos universe, some weak beings may not be unable to defeat stronger opponents with some powerful artifacts.

Therefore, every strong person may be overturned when facing an army composed of weak people in a force with deep foundation.

Not to mention, if there is a true god behind the warring forces, it is even more cautious.

Generally speaking, the wars between large forces in the Segos world have also formed some consensus, that is, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, the army will naturally be dealt with by the army, and the strong will be dealt with by the strong.

Of course, if one side does not have a strong person, then naturally don’t fight, just surrender.

As for which side has only strong people, but no low-end power…

well, in that case it is almost impossible to fight.

Because in the Segos world, there is no force composed of only strong people. Even if there is, their needs have long been different from those of ordinary forces, and it is almost impossible for the two sides to have conflicts.

Anyway…the battle between the God of Death Hela and the God of Darkness and Shadows Holder in the underground began. They both hoped to uproot the other’s power in the dark region.

In order to achieve the final victory and reduce the casualties of his already small number of believers, Hela naturally turned her attention to Eve’s Chosen Army.

Eve naturally agreed to this. On

the one hand, it was because both parties had a true god oath, and on the other hand, the players and him could also benefit from war sacrifices.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another point, that is, Hela also mentioned at the end that Holder, the God of Darkness and Shadows, was very close to some evil gods, and there might be evil gods in the other party’s forces.

Eve was naturally full of interest in this.

“Okay, I can design a new large-scale task for the players, and maybe it can become a copy. I hope they will like it and I hope it can bring me surprises.”

Sitting high on her throne, Eve already had a clear plan for the next step.

By the way, now not only the author, but also the book review area management team can use character vests to publish the chapter’s comments, so the character comments you see are sometimes not the author’s.
