Hyper-Dimensional Player-Chapter 526 - 90: Heroes Across the Land Like Fish Crossing the River (Part 3)
Legend has it that the fur of these giant elephants is so thick that arrows cannot penetrate it.
It was at this moment that Ashati appeared. She first approached the elephant herd as a woman, defusing their hostility, then challenged the formidable queen of the herd, Vasha. Using wisdom and strength, she subdued them, becoming a great ally of the kingdom.
In some ways, this myth seems more like the arrangement of the Divine Spirits.
But undeniably, the legendary heroes are never simple people; they are all of the first-rate strength.
"All of this was stirred up by Prometheus."
"Quinn, who conquered the kingdom of the Deep Sea Giants, why do you vent your anger on the city-states?"
A gentle female voice arose. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Above the giant elephants appeared a graceful and mature middle-aged woman. She was a maiden at her fame, but so many years have passed; her exact age is unknown to anyone. A legendary hero blessed by the Divine Spirits does not easily perish.
She is also the High Priest of the goddess of elephants, a branch of the Beast Worship Sect, and also governs the power symbolizing floods.
In a conflict with a neighboring country, this priestess summoned a flood that drowned tens of thousands of enemies, thus becoming a part of the myths of this era. In even more outrageous legends, she commanded the giant elephants to form dikes amidst the flood, ensuring that her army was unaffected.
The gods of the Beast Worship Sect and the Golden Kingdom are not entirely united; they do not wish to clash head-on with the Furious Gods.
Because even if they win, they gain little from it.
Duncan walked onto the beach, gazing at the giant elephants ahead and the middle-aged priestess above, and said slowly, "Prometheus stirred up the dispute."
"Then all of this must come to a conclusion."
"If the Aswan Kingdom promises not to send troops to assist them, we will withdraw immediately."
Many messages have already been relayed back.
Hegel encountered the legendary hero Fayyum of the Golden Coast; he is a favored one of the crocodile god, possessing four times the divine power of others. It is said that he is unrivaled in the rivers of the Golden Coast, and even on land, he possesses strength surpassing that of ordinary mythical figures.
His skin is blessed by the crocodile god, his twin blades are like the fangs of a divine crocodile, and when he charges, he creates a whirlwind of death. Whether on land or in the river, no one can stop him.
Hegel suffered a slight loss at his hands!
In the face of Duncan’s persistent pressure, the Elephant Maiden, Ashati, remained silent for a long time. If she agreed, the alliance between the Aswan Kingdom and the Golden Kingdom would be completely shattered, but if she didn’t agree, Duncan would need to clear other obstacles before advancing on the Golden City.
The Aswan Kingdom, with its mythical unit of ’Elephant Cavalry,’ would certainly bear the brunt of it!
If the Elephant Legion charges,
the consequences are simply unimaginable!
These elephants are no less terrifying than the Mammoth War Elephants in the Battle of the Ring; on land, they can easily intimidate thousands upon thousands of troops.
"I cannot give you any answer."
The Elephant Maiden, Ashati, after a long silence, slowly said, "But if you go to the Golden City to seek revenge on Prometheus, we will not stop you."
This is a very ambiguous stance.
They will not stop them but will not give a clear commitment either. In name, the Beast Gods are still part of the gods of the Golden Coast. If it truly comes to a divine war scenario, they will likely still step in to face the Furious Gods.
Duncan turned and left without looking back.
As the situation became tenser, legendary heroes from the various tribes of the Northern Barbarians also started arriving one after another, including even mixed-blood Northerners. Everyone understood that their dispute with Prometheus was just an excuse; the Furious Gods sought expansion, needing faith and populations, all of which the Golden Coast had.
What you don’t have, you take.
This is the mindset of the Furious Gods.
"The only good news is that no legendary demigods have appeared yet, but when the battle progresses, it will likely be like the Trojan War, with powerful demigods and Divine Sons appearing."
All Duncan wanted was a stance.
As long as the Beast Worship Sect people gave a stance, he and the Furious Gods would know where these people stood.
"Chieftain."
"Telamon from the Thunder Beast Tribe is almost here."
Ugar approached Duncan and said in a deep voice, "He is bringing 250 Barbarian Warriors from the Thunder Beast Tribe."
Dibite River.
Once a direction Duncan had visited, a group of Barbarians was by the river fetching water, wearing crude leather armor and carrying heavy weapons. With lush beards, like wild men, the burly man leading them seemed like a small giant, wielding a Warhammer made from the skull of a giant beast.
The blacksmithing skills of the Northern Barbarians are quite basic, and their weapons and equipment are far inferior to other civilizations.
But they had no fear; they even seemed elated because if they didn’t have something, they’d take it. Win a few battles, and they’d have whatever weapons and equipment they wanted. If that didn’t work, they’d take their blacksmiths and craftsmen.
Telamon is the eldest son of the Chieftain of the Thunder Beast Tribe and a legendary hero known for slaying a One-eyed Giant and Northern Monsters.
Standing by the river, he looked at the water’s surface, unsure of sensing something, turned, and said to the priest beside him, "It seems like something in the river is watching us."
The elder priest glanced, holding a giant’s skull, as though clutching Gul’dan’s Skull, and said in a deep voice, "It should be the Divine Maiden of the Dibite River."
