Chapter 1040

Name:Warhammer Wizard Author:Emperor
Outside the Southern Continent, the Los Santos was hovering a hundred miles away from the east coast. Ren was sitting on the bridge with his eyes slightly closed, receiving synchronous information from the Stormcast Eternals.

After a night of movement, the Thundercast Eternal Soldiers have been scattered all over the Southern Continent.

They transformed into the appearance of different trolls and started their operations. While looking for suitable tribal priests, they collected information about local forces.

Especially those loas.

Soon, there was a Thundercast Divine Soldier who succeeded, and obtained the knowledge of dozens of ancient sacred runes and a few pages of ancient sacred text manuscripts from a tribal priest of a forest troll. Although most of this knowledge is repetitive, it has been rewarded.

Not long after, another Thundercast Divine Soldier synchronized the knowledge, which increased his knowledge of the runes of the ancient saints again.

Ryan did nothing all day, sitting on the bridge and waiting.

Not every Thundercast Eternal went well. Some tribal priests had very little knowledge, and it was repetitive. Some tribes sensed themselves and tried to resist. The Thundercast Eternals didn't stay long, and left immediately when they saw the situation disappearing.

Even, there were two times when Loa actually spotted him, chasing them all the way out of the control range of the ancient holy altar.

However, in general, the Thundercast Eternal Soldier will not be life-threatening.

Even in the face of Loa fighters, they can retreat unscathed.

In the evening, the knowledge of the ancient sage runes has grown to more than a thousand words, and the progress of the ancient sage characters is faster. Ren is very satisfied. According to this speed, it only takes about half a month to decipher it by himself and master the complete ancient sage. knowledge.

Over the next few days the progress accelerated.

With the increase in the number of runes of the ancient saints mastered, Ren can roughly understand some rune arrays, but there may still be some errors.

While studying the ancient holy altar to see if he could crack the altar and seize control, he spelled out the distribution of power in the southern continent in his mind.

As guessed before, there are indeed 18 ancient holy altars on the southern continent.

However, originally there were twenty-four of them!

Over the past 20,000 years, six ancient holy altars were either completely destroyed in the Loa War and could no longer function, or suddenly failed for unknown reasons, becoming a historical mystery.

The absence of these six ancient holy altars did not cause the barrier that blocked the entire continent to collapse. The remaining eighteen altars mobilized magical energy to cover the southern continent and maintain the integrity of the barrier, but the strength and power of the barrier have declined somewhat.

Of the eighteen ancient holy altars that are still in operation, less than half are truly intact, and many altars have more or less problems.

Ren speculated that at least twelve altars of the ancient saints are needed to maintain the blockade barrier.

If there is no external interference, as more ancient holy altars are damaged, maybe after four or five thousand years, the barrier that blocked the southern continent will completely disappear.

It can be seen from this that the Loa will not repair the altar of the Old Sage, and the trolls have not mastered the knowledge taught by the Old Sage.

Loa just held the altar.

Loa, not a real god.

They were born after the blockade of the Southern Continent. Most of them were originally powerful creatures in the forest. After absorbing the magical energy of the ancient holy altar, they mutated, their bodies evolved, their minds were revealed, and their souls instinctively wanted to approach the ancient holy altar, master the altar, and get more powerful strength.

During the First Era, there were only a few gods in Arrenus, and almost all of them were born naturally, such as the Mother Earth.

Trolls don't have a clear idea of ​​who the gods are and how to bestow them.

They naturally worship powerful beings.

As a result, the troll put those extremely powerful mutant beasts on the altar, offered the power of faith, and formed a relationship similar to gods and believers by mistake.

Thus, Loa was born!

But there is no divine fire in the Southern Continent. The trolls and Loa don't even know the existence of divine fire. Loa can't transform divinity into divine power and become a real god. In the eyes of the trolls, Loa, who holds the altar of the ancient saints, is already the most powerful existence in the world, and he is their god!

The blockade barrier prevented the trolls from leaving the southern continent.

Gradually, the trolls regarded this continent and forest as the whole world, and as time passed, they forgot the existence of the outside world.

Those distant historical records, everything outside the Southern Continent has become a fairy tale.

For more than 20,000 years, the loa have controlled the altars of the ancient saints and fought and killed each other. War is the eternal theme of trolls.

In this closed world, the history of "rise, expansion, conquest, and destruction" is repeated over and over again. The unbreakable historical cycle restricts the trolls from standing still. Their civilization and wisdom have hardly improved from those of more than 20,000 years ago. , and some even regressed.

The root cause is the ancient holy altar.

The trolls who are isolated from the world don't have to face terrible foreign enemies. Several times of era change and abyss invasion have not involved the southern continent.

In their worldview, trolls are the only intelligent race in the world.

Despite the legends of the Creator left by the Old Ones, the trolls have never seen other intelligent races, let alone the existence of elves, dwarves, orcs, and humans, which only appeared after the blockade of the southern continent.

The trolls have no motivation to develop, and the loa are mostly a group of beasts, let alone the concepts that these intelligent civilizations have.

Loa can only master more ancient holy altars and have more powerful power.

However, very few loa can control more than two ancient holy altars. They have only one real body, occupying one altar, and the other may be taken advantage of by the enemy. Take great pains to defeat the hostile loa, occupy the altar, and lose it soon.

This led to the fact that the southern continent was in a state of loa separatism for most of the period.

Without a highly unified regime, there is no basis for development.

The Ancient Manla Empire was unified four times in history. The first time was when the Southern Continent was just blocked more than 20,000 years ago. The empire was inherited from the Troll Era, and it only lasted for more than 300 years before it split.

The following three unifications were all due to the birth of a great conqueror among the trolls.

These three troll leaders who rebuilt the empire are all loa!

Trolls can also be loa.

This is not uncommon, there are troll loa in every era, sometimes there are many, sometimes there are few, and now there are five loa in the southern continent that are trolls. Moreover, the strongest Loa currently controlling the four ancient holy altars, the "God of War" Kazra Takin, is a troll!

Kazra Takin is known as the "King of Loa" and "King of Trolls".

He holds the most important ancient holy altar in the Southern Continent, in the capital of the Ancient Manla Empire, "Itza", called the City of Gold, located in the hinterland center of the Southern Continent. The City of Gold and the surrounding three ancient holy altars, hundreds of tribes, and more than 10 million trolls are all the people of Kazratakin.

The king of loa wants to follow the example of the three troll kings in history, and wants to unify the southern continent and rebuild the glory of the ancient Manla empire.

However, Ryan is not optimistic.

Because according to historical records, the three troll kings did not end well in the end, and the empire they created did not last long. The longest dynasty was less than two hundred years old.

The reason for the collapse of the empire is the same, the supreme ruler is killed.

The characteristics of the ancient holy altar determine that no loa can control all the altars. No matter how many troll guards are stationed, there will always be enemies who can steal the control of the altar. A loa mastering multiple altars only expands the territory, and can receive the energy support of the altars in a larger area, covering more believers and stronger divinity, but there will be no qualitative improvement in power.

As long as a hostile loa holds the Old One's Altar, it has a chance of defeating the Troll King.

What's more, the three troll kings in history failed to eliminate all other loa, but only ruled all trolls at the tribal level.

Other trolls also want to be loa.

All in all, the troll Loa may be able to conquer the country, but he will definitely not be able to hold it.

What was said in the previous life, "The general trend of the world, the long-term unity must be divided, and the long-term division must be united" does not apply to the Southern Continent. The Loa Separation is the normal state of the Southern Continent.

Now on the Southern Continent, apart from the God of War, Kazra Takin, there are a few Loa who are slightly less powerful.

"God of Blood" Sotek, whose body is a feathered snake; "God of Courage" Huang Qi, who is also a troll loa; "God of Witchcraft" Jazrilla, whose image is a hydra Lizard; "God of Storms" Akidala, this loa is an eagle.

The strength of the rest of the Loa is weaker.

Sirik, the god of the night, ranks lower among many loas in terms of strength, probably in the bottom five.

Of course, Sirik is not the weakest loa. In the vast forests of the southern continent, there are still many powerful creatures that control the altar of the ancient saints. They are also loa, but their strength is lower.

"They're all demigods..."

Ren sat on the captain's throne, tapped the armrest rhythmically with his fingers, and looked contemplative.

Among the historical materials collected by Thundercast Eternal Soldiers, there is a very important key point: the control of the Altar of the Ancient Sages can be seized!

The premise is that Loa has left the scope of the altar under his control.

There is no need to kill Loa, and there is no need for Loa to release the control, as long as the opponent is not within the control range of the altar.

In this case, the difficulty is much lower.

Ren's thinking became active. His primary goal of entering the Southern Continent was to collect the knowledge of the ancient sages. There should be no problem with this goal, and it will be completed in a few days. In the next step, after deciphering the Old Sage runes, it's time to try to control the Old Sage Altar.

The Southern Continent is a huge treasure!

Needless to say, natural resources, gold, mines and countless treasures, but in Ryan's eyes, the most important resource is population.

After sorting out the data collected in the past few days, it can be roughly estimated that the total number of trolls in the Southern Continent is more than 90 million, most likely hundreds of millions!

100 million trolls, all of them are intelligent races!

With such a huge population, if it is well managed, it can still explode with two or three times the population growth, and how much labor force will it produce?

Population is wealth!

Most importantly, these 100 million trolls can also contribute a huge amount of power of faith!

The Southern Continent is at war all the year round, the loa fight endlessly, and the winner changes every once in a while, which makes the trolls change their faith frequently. The middle and lower trolls don't have much resistance to changing their beliefs, and they can easily accept it new god.

This means that more than 100 million trolls are potential believers. As long as certain benefits are given, there will be little resistance to preaching in the Southern Continent.

If the gods knew about this situation, they would probably go crazy!

Ren was also heartbroken.

I am not a god myself, but Sanguinius can!

More than ten years ago, Sanguinius was preparing to become a god, and has been secretly preaching in the New World. Now, all members of the Knights of the Holy Gun are believers in the Lord of Radiance, but only with the more than 10,000 beliefs, the provided The power of faith is too little.

Anser's divine fire already has a part of divinity, adding all of it is not enough.

The original plan was to let Sanguinius secretly develop believers and gradually accumulate divinity. When he completely controlled the situation of the empire and the national power had developed to a certain level, when the time was right, he would let the Church of Radiance openly preach and become a god in one fell swoop.

Now it seems that Sanguinius' plan to become a god can be advanced, and the trolls in the southern continent are the best field for harvesting faith!

And those loa, they have great divinity...

Ren's eyes flickered.

Sanguinius is currently at level 34, and has not yet embarked on the path of a demigod, but I predict that when Sanguinius becomes a demigod, the mutated phone will be upgraded accordingly, and there is a great probability that it can devour other The divinity of the demigod is transformed into electricity, and then the electricity is transformed into his own divinity!

"The plan needs to be adjusted."

Renn made the decision to become a god with little hesitation.

Sanguinius, who was hidden in the "Santra Residence" underground in Gotham City's Abraken, in the Cathedral of Radiance Church, left quietly.

After a while.

Sanguinius teleported to the setting sun plane, entered Anser's mausoleum, and saw the divine fire.

He stepped forward to hold the divine fire, and suddenly, he heard a pious whisper in his ear, it was the sound of faith prayer, some of them came from the tauren of the Sunstrider tribe, it was relatively clear, and he could even see the location of the tauren believers and the surroundings scene.

There are also some believers whose prayers are very vague. It seems that they are separated by a barrier and cannot see their situation clearly. They can only vaguely perceive that they are a group of trolls.

"Barrier, troll..."

Sanguinius whispered to himself, with a smile on his grim face.

Raistlin had noticed the existence of these troll believers as early as when he first obtained the divine fire. The tauren of the Sunstrider tribe also said that in their ancient historical records, there were also believers in Anser in the far southern continent.

On the bridge, Ren formed a clear plan in his mind, but he needed to confirm it again.

boom!

The Los Santos jumped into the void and arrived at the desert of the setting sun plane in a blink of an eye, only a dozen miles away from Anser's Mausoleum.

Ren opened the portal to enter the mausoleum and saw Sanguinius.

He touched Sanguinius' shoulder lightly, and Sanguinius held the magic fire in his hand. In an instant, Sanguinius successfully entered the pixel world.

"feasible!"

Renn's face showed joy, he was worried that Shenhuo would not be able to enter the pixel world, which seemed to be over worrying.

The king's car changes position!

Ren switched places with Raistlin and entered the southern continent to release Sanguinius. Immediately, Sanguinius clearly heard a prayer, and he looked towards a direction in the forest, about three thousand miles away, where there was a group of trolls who believed in the God of the Burning Sun!
