Chapter 57: Endless Rot Nest

"Everyone, do you have any doubts about the faith change problem? If any priest is afraid of Lolth the God Queen's revenge, I can arrange for them to stay on my side, or go to other places. I will not stop them. If there is no problem, then start the dependent transformation."

After Sakavi killed a batch of Lolth the God Queen's die-hards, the remaining ones, whether they were family matrons or family priests, had no clear opposition. Now they just succumbed to Sakavi's violence. However, becoming dependents, they could only execute orders well. Perhaps they would leave themselves a way out, but that didn't make much sense.

Originally, the best way was to trample on Lolth the God Queen's statue, but Sakavi didn't dare to do things that were easy to be remembered, so he had to pretend not to see their various small actions. Lacking the communication bridge of priests, the spread of Lolth's influence would be greatly restricted.

"Shadow-Claw, you have done very well recently, but you must also understand that your mission is not over yet. Drow Elves, known for their conspiracies, will not surrender so easily. The matrons will have to temporarily submit to us because of family interests, and the calculations hidden in the shadows will emerge one after another in the coming days.

Drow Elves from other places will also try to clean up this group of traitors. Your mission is very heavy, don't be careless. So, regarding how to prevent it, do you have any plans at the moment?"

"Master, my plan is that prevention is not as good as inducement. Since they like to play conspiracies so much, it's better to let them go. When the moles really move, they will find that no conspiracy is as useful as a powerful iron fist.

Those matrons will also understand a truth: if they want to ensure their interests are not damaged, they can only cooperate with us. Of course, this is a long process, perhaps people from the War God Church can speed up this speed."

"Hmm, you can try it. Braga, what is your opinion on this?"

"Master, for Drow Elves, any attempt to play tricks with them is very dangerous. I suggest that this matter is best handled by Ulno personally. If there is any race that can compare with Drow Elves in terms of conspiracy, it is only the Toadmen."

"Your suggestion is good. Do as you say! In addition, let Sha Lu Te and Uglu be prepared. The Tusk and Iron-Cast Legions will go to Plane No. 1634 in three days to replace the Iron-Hoof Legion."

"But Master, the Iron-Hoof Legion has only been there for less than a month. Is it too early now?"

"Perhaps! But I think it's time for rotation now, but I hope I'm overthinking it."

…………

The originally dark red earth seemed to be covered with a layer of constantly wriggling, morbid purple-black fungal mat. This fungal mat was not a plant, but piled up by countless Pus Demons. These demons were the size of hounds, had no fixed form, and were like semi-transparent sacs filled with pus, crawling by pseudopods.

They constantly oozed corrosive mucus, staining the land and everything on it with filthy colors. There was no sky-shaking shouting, only a low, dense, scalp-numbing sizzling sound and sticky wriggling sound. This was the sound of Pus Demons corroding metal, and the sound of them squeezing each other's bodies.

Above this disgusting background sound, occasionally there would be a loud boom of city wall giant stones collapsing after being corroded, or the harsh sound of a defensive formation overloading and bursting. Gisk standing on the city wall was in an unusually heavy mood. Reinforcements would not arrive for two months, and he really couldn't think of how to hold on.

In the tide of Pus Demons, there were some more fatal Iron-Eating Insect swarms. They looked like giant beehives composed of countless metal fragments and black shells, floating in mid-air. They would lock onto the metal components on the city wall and launch dense, magnetic metal decomposition rays. The hit metal would quickly rust and disintegrate, turning into iron filings and being absorbed by the insect swarm to expand itself.

This Abyssal plane was like an infinitely vast, still breathing and growing cancerous giant beast's internal organs. The sky was its wriggling inner membrane, and the river was its digestive juice. Everything seen was a living part of it, and it wanted to decompose and absorb demons into another insignificant abscess on its body at all times. This kind of plane was called the Endless Rot Nest by the Pantheon.

"Karog, let your heavy cavalry have a good rest. Three hours later, we will organize a decapitation operation again. Another damn Nest-Brain Demon has come."

The Nest-Brain Demon in the distance was like a huge, pulsing purple-black meat mountain, covered with thousands of constantly opening and closing eyes and constantly extending and retracting nerve cords. It was obviously the command center for all Pus Demons and Whisperers, like a living mother nest, constantly "producing" and coordinating the offensive of the entire demon legion.

"Gisk, Black Feather hasn't returned yet. Should we wait a bit? Including the Legion Commander, eight high-level officers have died. We can't afford any risks. And without confirming that the Abyssal Whisperers have been temporarily suppressed, if we go out, the losses will be very large."

The Abyssal Whisperer had no fixed form, like a black smoke haze constantly twisting and changing, with pink light flashing in the center to confuse the mind. They could continuously emit mental pollution waves to the fortress, disintegrating the will of the defenders, creating hallucinations, and inducing panic and internal strife. Targeting this group of dangerous existences, Harpies led by Black Feather often carried out targeted hunting.

"There is no time. The demons of this plane are far more powerful than the intelligence shows. Our city wall won't last long. We must curb their offensive immediately, otherwise we will have to fight street battles again."

"Roar!!!!!" Suddenly, a huge dragon roar came, accompanied by an inspiring Dragon Might. I saw a huge Black Dragon appearing in the sky at some point, and the next moment, a fan-shaped, viscous "Annihilation Dragon Breath" like petroleum swept down!

The area covered by the breath, those wriggling Pus Demons, corrosive fungal mats, and even the earth itself, quickly dissolved and vaporized as if thrown into strong acid, revealing the original ground below that was pitted by erosion. The dragon breath burned a huge, smoking vacuum zone in the purple-black tide.

Just at the end of the channel cleared by the dragon breath, the Ogre heavy infantry of the Tusk Legion began to advance. They were no longer in loose formation, but formed an unprecedented "Purification Fortress" formation. The front row was spearmen holding giant shields the size of door panels with anti-corrosion runes embedded on the edges. They stepped in unison, and the giant shields smashed heavily into the ground, connecting into a moving steel city wall.

In the center of the formation, Ogre archers threw enchanted arrows, drawing high parabolas, crossing the front row, and accurately smashing toward the Iron-Eating Insect swarms gathered in the rear. The feathered arrows rich in order magic caused serious damage to their structure.

At the same time, Harpies joined forces to summon a huge tornado, forcibly pulling and squeezing the Abyssal Whisperers who were trying to ascend to interfere with the Black Dragon Grand Duke, and then used fireball spells by the accompanying Shamans to turn them into fireworks that annihilated in shrieks.

War Shamans danced wildly, pressing their hands on the earth. The next second, on the flanks of the Tusk Legion, the earth cracked, and scorching order flames gushed out, forming two walls of fire, preventing the encirclement of Pus Demons and burning them into charcoal.

Accompanying warlocks locked onto those huge Iron-Eating Insect swarms and cast extreme cold rays. The extreme low temperature collided violently with the active energy inside the insect swarm, causing them to freeze and crack from the inside out, turning into a ground of metal fragments flashing with cold light.

The entire demon army fell into huge chaos under the pincer attack from both sides. At this time, the Black Dragon's molten gold dragon pupils crossed the battlefield and had already locked onto that huge meat mountain. The Nest-Brain Demon felt a fatal threat. It issued a silent mental shriek, mobilizing all demons around, including several powerful Abyssal Whisperers, to form a thick spiritual and flesh-and-blood protective wall in front of it.

The Black Dragon issued a roar that shook the plane, folded his dragon wings, and dived down like a black meteorite! Ancient Dragon Tongue runes appeared on his body, forming a powerful anti-magic shield. The mental impact of the Abyssal Whisperers hit it like waves hitting rocks, to no avail.

He did not use dragon breath, but lit up the dragon claws that were enough to tear space. The claw blades were wrapped in extreme darkness, which was the Necromancy energy that could even swallow light.

"Swoosh——!"

Like tearing open a thick canvas, the dragon claws easily tore the spiritual protective wall and pierced the huge, pulsing core of the Nest-Brain Demon! The thousands of eyes of the Nest-Brain Demon withered instantly. Its huge meat mountain body began to wither and rot violently, and after only a few breaths, it became dust floating in the wind.

"Master, why are you here? The demons here exceeded our expectations. We failed to complete the mission you gave us, and the legion suffered more than half losses."

"I already know. You and the Tusk and Iron-Cast Legions withdraw together. The teleportation gate is 15 miles away from here, guarded by the Iron-Cast Legion. I think they have also encountered several times the enemy now. You go now! I have some things to deal with."

"Obey, Master. Black Feather hasn't returned yet. I don't know if she encountered any danger. I want to wait here for her to return. She can't leave here safely alone."

"No need. She has already died in battle. I can't feel her existence now. I can feel the approximate position of every living dependent. I will deal with her affairs. This is no longer something you can solve."

"Then you be careful too, this plane is very strange, as if it has life." ===== CHAPTER 58 =====
