Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 156 Saint-Rank Enters Dawn City, the Greatest Secret of the Divine War

Three months is too long!
Lin Ke couldn't wait in the Monster Mountain Range forever.

Therefore, after subduing the eight Saint-level magical beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Lin Ke is guarded by a giant forest elephant in the Monster Mountain Range.

Subsequently, Amos and the other three Saint-level magical beasts began to occupy Dawn City.

This process naturally shocked the three Saint-level magical beasts.

However, they learned that a large number of trolls existed in this world, and that they were likely enemies of the continent of Auckland.

That is, the enemy behind the truth of the fall of the gods.

The three Saint-level magical beasts then suppressed all their thoughts.

Those who seek refuge with foreign tribes will only become dogs!
Little did they know, the extraordinary beings of the Cartel world had been wiped out by the troll race.

They don't even have the chance to be dogs.

The opportunity to be a dog is limited to those alien human slaves who have no power whatsoever.

Faced with this situation, even if the three Saint-level magical beasts were willing to betray Linko in this world, they would have to think it over carefully.

Furthermore, given the methods Lin Ke is currently employing.

Even knowing that the gods of the Auckland continent are already being resurrected, these three Saint-level magical beasts must be out of their minds to choose to betray the Auckland continent.

Not to mention, now that they're following Lin Ke and the others, they feel they have a brighter future ahead of them.

They even dared to try and reach the demigod level, which they had never dared to dream of before.

Demigods, in ancient times, were true divine servants who could enter the divine kingdom and serve the gods.

With such expectations, they naturally understand the pros and cons even better.

However, the three Saint-level magical beasts were still somewhat apprehensive about the world of Kalter.

After all, how powerful must the gods be if the trolls behind this world can force the gods to sacrifice themselves?

Are the gods and dragons of the continent of Auckland truly adversaries?

But then he thought, since this is the current Dragon Prince, and there is even the guidance of the Dragon God behind him who is returning to the Dragon Clan.

They were then at ease!

have nothing to say!

Just eliminate all the enemies His Highness has mentioned!
Thus, on the thirty-second day of this simulation.

Dawn City has finally moved again!
This time, the action is not just a small-scale operation like before!
This time, Lin Ke had the Saint-level magical beasts team up in pairs and lead two armies of magical beasts to attack the two cities in the south where the trolls were located.

A phantom sea city that is naturally a troll city.

The other one is a land city located 350 kilometers northeast of the Misty Forest.

Amos and a Saint-level magical beast were tasked with attacking the Illusion Sea City.

The other two Saint-level magical beasts were responsible for attacking the cities in the northeast.

Meanwhile, Lin Ke himself had already quietly used the power of the contract to reunite with the Shadowwind Giant Eagle that was following the troll fleet.

This time, the troll fleet was quite large.

There were over a thousand large and medium-sized warships and as many as three hundred airships.

The trolls had been traveling in the ocean for over a month, but still hadn't reached their destination.

This naturally caught Lin Ke's attention.

In fact, under the pursuit of the Shadow Wind Giant Eagle, this fleet's journey was far from peaceful.

They would occasionally encounter surprise attacks from the seabed, and each attack would result in the sinking of several to more than ten ships in the troll fleet.

The troll was naturally furious at such a sneak attack.

But what's strange is that these guys who ambushed the trolls weren't human professionals from overseas at all.

They were a group of creatures that resembled water elements.

These guys aren't particularly strong, but their most peculiar trait is that every time their physical form is destroyed, it seems to slowly revive.

They repeatedly followed the troll fleet, creating underwater currents and even directly attacking the hulls of the troll fleet.

These creatures sometimes appear as giants, and sometimes as sea monsters.

The strongest among them are no more than the seventh rank, and most of them only have low-rank power.

However, the advantage lies in the fact that the number of elemental beings that appear each time is not small, always exceeding a thousand. Moreover, the more elemental beings the troll fleet kills, the more elemental beings arrive each time.

They are all transparent, their substance is like water, and they have a core.

But once their core is shattered, or even captured by trolls, these creatures' cores will instantly vanish as if they never existed.

Even the ninth-tier powerhouses among the trolls cannot completely kill or imprison them.

In short, the troll fleet was disgusted by these water elemental lifeforms along the way!

Lin Ke was naturally very curious about this.

Sure enough, after arriving above the boundless ocean, Lin Ke finally saw these strange creatures with his own eyes.

"Damn!!!"

"Will these wretched elemental sea elves ever stop?"

"They've been watching us all this way, and we can't kill them no matter what we do. It's really a headache." A high-level troll wielded a terrifying greatsword, cleaving through the ocean currents nearly a thousand meters deep with a single strike.

The surging seawater burst and spilled, mixed with the broken remains of many dead elemental spirits.

Meanwhile, in the sky and on the seabed, many mid- to high-level trolls are relentlessly pursuing and killing these elemental spirits that inflict significant losses on them each time.

The entire battle lasted no more than half an hour.

After all, these water elemental spirits are too weak. Once they are discovered and surrounded, the troll fleet's terrifying strength and numbers will make it easy to eliminate them.

This time, the number of water elementals that attacked the troll fleet exceeded three thousand.

However, compared to the trolls' entire expeditionary fleet of over 150,000, these water elementals, even with the trolls on guard, only managed to ambush and destroy two small to medium-sized ships this time.

"It's really frustrating that he can't be killed."

"However, the continuous attacks from these elemental sea spirits only further confirm that we are on the right track."

"According to the Imperial Military's long-standing deduction, the Elemental Ocean Elf is actually a remnant creation of a fallen native god."

"After the native sea god perished, he merged his divine body into the sea. His remaining divinity created these mindless ocean elemental spirits in order to protect all human survivors within the sea."

"Therefore, the more sea creatures we encounter, the more it confirms that there must be a large human survivor base ahead of us."

"The native god is indeed a native god. He's not very bright and deserves to be defeated by the gods of the empire. This method of protecting his followers is practically like showing me the way. Haha, this is probably something that native god didn't expect, right?"

After slaying the surrounding ocean elemental spirits, a high-ranking troll approached his companion and laughed heartily.

"It's not that they're mindless; they're gods, after all. They live a long time, so their wisdom must be quite high."

"While there may be arrogant individuals, as deities, they can certainly devise numerous countermeasures immediately."

"As for the beacon-like contraption created by this native sea god, it's probably because he was killed too quickly by the gods of the empire, and he didn't have time to make any more backup plans. In his haste, he created this group of incongruous creatures."

Another high-ranking troll arrived and, after some contemplation, shared his insights.

"That's true. Gods, I wonder how many new gods the bigwigs in the empire can create now, taking advantage of the vacancies in the divine positions of this world."

"However, this world has only been defeated by us for a little over a hundred years. Even if the great figures of the empire are preparing to ascend to godhood, it will probably still take quite some time."

When it came to the gods of the Empire, these high-ranking trolls seemed to open up and start talking.

"If I remember correctly, the shortest time for a great figure to ascend to godhood during the first world conquered by the Empire was 223 years, right?"

"Indeed, in the last world, the empire had complete control, but it took more than a thousand years, and only thirty-one great figures ascended to godhood."

"As the second world conquered by the empire, this world should have a much higher level of mana 'magic' than the first world."

"However, the situation of ascending to godhood is definitely more complicated. They may even face the backlash of the residual divinity of the native gods during the process of ascending to godhood. If things go wrong, many important figures may die."

One of the horned trolls looked very solemn, and he explained the situation of the troll empire's ascension to godhood in detail.

"It doesn't matter to us how many important figures die. These spots are too limited and far too few for us, the offspring of marginal troll families."

"Moreover, if I remember correctly, according to unofficial rumors, the Empire lost more than fifty gods in the Astral War in this world, including many powerful ones. Although the Imperial Senate is actively working to revive them, it will take a long time."

"Fifty? Isn't that more than half? Are you sure your source is accurate?" one of the trolls asked, utterly astonished.

"Believe it or not, the new world that the empire is conquering this time was chosen after a long time. It is a relatively weak world with mana 'magic'."

"The Empire needs time to recover its strength. Conquering a relatively weak world right now is in line with the Empire's plans. But even so, the current situation is not good. It is said that although the mana content in that world is low, the power of mortals is inexplicably strong. This has caused a lot of arguments in the Imperial Senate."

"A low-mana world is lucky to produce a few to ten gods. Although the Empire almost crushed and annihilated all of the enemy's gods on the astral battlefield, the wars within mortal planets have truly stumped the Empire!"

"The losses are too great. The Imperial Senate is even considering abandoning that world, since the gains are completely disproportionate to the losses."

The surrounding high-ranking trolls were all utterly astonished upon hearing the inside story known to them.

"Oh, is that so? No wonder the Empire has been demanding more and more resources and people from our garrison cities in this world lately."

"If only the war of the gods hadn't been confined to the astral plane, but alas, the gods were both our strength and our weakness."

"But in the end, the world of Mana still imposes too many restrictions on the gods. After becoming gods, the world of Mana will reject the gods. The price for the gods to enter the mortal world or the interior of the world is too high. Even gods from non-native worlds will be subject to unimaginable suppression."

"After expending great effort to descend upon this alien world, only to find that the gods are no better than mortals at the Saint level, the difference between going in and not going in becomes negligible. Conquering the mortal world can only be achieved by us mortals ourselves."

"That's right, but gods are immortal after all, and they still possess unimaginable power in the astral plane. Becoming a god is still the best thing."

"However, it seems like we're out of luck."

"."

???

With his immense power, Lin Ke was completely dumbfounded as he listened to the trolls' conversation.

I came here for no reason; what incredible information did I hear?

Is there really such a complicated process to the troll god's existence, and why is there such a high price to pay for entering the mortal world, or the interior of a planet, after becoming a god?

Astral Wars.

The fall of the gods and the beginning of a new god.

War of mortals.

So many rules exist in the world?

So, is this a common rule for all worlds? At least for worlds where magic exists?

Then the extent to which Lin Ke knows about the actual game rules erosion seems to indicate that there's more to the story than meets the eye!
