No matter how the gods searched, they still couldn't find the gods of the Human God System. It was as if they had melted into the void, or as if they had never been here, not even a trace of their aura was left.
Sui Xiong was also very curious and wanted to know where they were, but he just watched and didn't make a move to search.
Judging from the current situation, once the human gods were found, they would probably all be annihilated. As a neutral party, of course, he couldn't get involved.
Since he couldn't get involved, he wasn't very interested in this silent battle of hiding and searching among the gods. In contrast, it was the growing war in the human world that attracted his attention more.
After the various races of the Marsh gathered their armies, they launched an attack on the Duchy of Thunder.
For a long time, the main force invading the Great Marsh was the Duchy of Thunder. However, compared to the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs, which could suppress the dwarves and elves by itself, the combat power of the Duchy of Thunder was much weaker, and their "development" of the Great Marsh was also much weaker.
The Great Marsh didn't have a unified country, and the forces of the various races were complicated and civil wars were constant. Under such circumstances, the Duchy of Thunder could often gain benefits by pulling one party to fight another, and repeatedly reaped gains.
But now, the various races of the Great Marsh, under the leadership of the indigenous gods, united for the first time. When the races that had been fighting for many years finally stood on the same side, the power of the Duchy of Thunder was relatively not enough.
In just one battle, six of the fourteen strongholds established by the Duchy of Thunder in the Marsh were uprooted, and the remaining eight were also in danger.
The number of the various races of the Marsh was huge, and their strength varied. Some of them were weaker like the lizardmen, who might not be able to defeat humans in a one-on-one battle. There were also powerful ones like the hydra, who could pose a threat to a small fortress on their own, unless they encountered a high-level powerhouse. After they united, the various races complemented each other very well, exerting the effect of one plus one is greater than two.
From the most important stronghold established by the Duchy of Thunder in the Great Marsh, the "Red Tree Stronghold," an extremely spectacular and terrifying scene could be seen:
In the sky, the harpies let out ear-piercing screams and flew chaotically. This group of monsters that were good at suddenly descending from the sky, twisting the enemy's head off, and then swaggering away were actually not very strong. As long as a well-trained soldier did not panic, he or she could fight them one-on-one. But now, looking at the black mass in the sky, no one knew how many there were. The guards on the city wall all paled, not knowing what to do.
Among the large group of harpies, there were some grayish-green or grayish-red figures. It was a two-legged flying dragon, a type of fiend with a bit of dragon bloodline. They couldn't fly high or fast enough, so they couldn't be compared to real dragons. However, their hard scales and strong bodies were enough to make them terrifying killers in the air that ordinary soldiers couldn't deal with even in groups. Not to mention … some wyverns also knew how to cast some magic or spit venom …
Back then, Leon had tamed a two-footed flying dragon, a subspecies called the "Copper Crown Flying Dragon." Under Leon's training, its flying skills were quite impressive. If there was a flying competition among the wyverns, it would definitely have a chance to fight for the championship. Although Leon had already become a real dragon knight and had the green dragon Galstobi as his mount, which was more enviable than anyone else, he still rode the Copper Crown Flying Dragon most of the time to avoid causing trouble.
Galstobi was very dissatisfied with this and often went to find trouble with the Copper Crown Flying Dragon in private. Later, it developed to the point where it would occasionally transform into a human and ride this unlucky flying dragon to parade around the city, which made people in the know laugh.
What should they call a giant dragon that rides a dragon?
Just these air forces were enough to make the soldiers of the Red Tree Fortress very distressed. They felt that their chances of winning were slim. And the mighty ground troops made them even more worried. They were secretly thinking about how long they could live, which was a serious blow to their morale.
No, morale and whatnot, if the entire fortress had not been surrounded and had nowhere to run, would have long ago disappeared …
The ground troops of the Marsh races were naturally mainly lizardmen. These human-like creatures with hard scales were generally similar to humans, except for their slightly lower intelligence. But their endurance was obviously not as good as humans, and they would be at a disadvantage in a prolonged battle. But compared to humans, their much better fertility made up for this shortcoming. If it was not for the fact that they hated an environment that was not humid enough, perhaps there would be traces of them everywhere on the continent.
Other than the lizardmen, there were naturally many monsters such as giant lizards, giant pythons, giant centipedes, giant scorpions, swamp monsters, and so on. There was an intelligent race in the Marsh called the "Swamp Apes." They were especially good at taming all kinds of poisonous creatures. They were natural-born beast tamers. Whether it was flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, there was almost no monster that they could not tame — as long as it was poisonous.
And another intelligent race in the Marsh was the frogmen. The frogmen were a relatively weak race. Their individual combat power was not strong, and they were rather timid. Their level of civilization was also relatively backward, and they were at the bottom of the "food chain" in the Marsh. But they could also take on a lot of logistics work and provide a lot of help to the army.
As for things like goblins, of course, there were also a lot of them. But they had never been seen as the same kind by the Marsh races. They were always driven to risk their lives to enter the trap. In the previous few attacks on the city, they had almost lost all of them, so there were not many of them at the moment.
If there were only these enemies, with the strong defense of the Red Tree Castle, it was not impossible to hold on. But among the Marsh army, there were more than ten super huge monsters that towered like small mountains.
They were the trump card of the Marsh, the giant multi-headed snake.
This terrifying creature had a huge body and strength worthy of its terrifying body. Although it did not know any spells, it had a tenacious life force that was terrifying. Unless its head was chopped off at the same time, there was no way to kill it. Even if it was a terrifying spell that could turn the enemy into ashes, as long as all of its heads were not hit at the same time, it would be useless.
This kind of monster was the most terrifying existence in the Marsh, and it was also one of the most terrifying things in the folklore. As long as one could kill even one of them in a one-on-one battle, it was enough to be called a hero.
In fact, not to mention the giant multi-headed snake, even its subordinate race, the multi-headed snake lizard, was already a very dangerous monster.
When Sui Xiong and the others first came to Gars City, they were once upset by Sean Riley, the son of the Gars City Lord at that time and Kalisa's brother. At that time, Sean asked Leon to catch a three-headed snake lizard to prove that he was qualified to negotiate with him.
Of course, Leon did. That might be the origin of all his fate with the Riley family.
Of course, the multi-headed snake lizard was not a big deal, but if Sean had asked Leon to catch a giant multi-headed snake, it was estimated that Leon's choice would not have been to catch the monster, but to pull out his sword and cut off Sean's head.
Compared to provoking the giant multi-headed snake, it was obviously easier and safer to kill the son of a legendary strongman.
