Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1634: Chapter 212: Ambori’s Familiar Scent

I don’t know if it’s because they were arranged by Triton in the past to deal with those giant sea monsters, but these shark-heads show no fear in the face of the enormous creatures outside the Endless Vines, each wielding their harpoons atop the vines, baring their teeth and brandishing claws at the outer enemies.

Meanwhile, the giant ship on Scaret’s side, even though it frantically wants to attack the Cain Valley bay, must first wade through layer upon layer of sea monster defense lines in the middle.

Compared to the Undead Tribe and the newly arrived Sea God, the remaining will of the former Goddess of the Sea, who was just personally killed by Triton, undoubtedly hates Triton and his Scaret even more.

So...the sea monsters, which had been attacking Cain Valley, collectively turned to charge at those giant ships.

And the Undead Tribe’s gigantic long-range weapons, at this moment, have no qualms... just aim at the furthest and fire directly, as they are not afraid of accidentally harming the sea monsters.

No matter how brave the shark-heads seem, it’s all for show...they are very willing to stay in the area of the Endless Vines.

Although it was ’Lu Huayu’ who first issued the order, demanding that they do not attack the sea monsters, these shark-heads, who already have a bit of Ambori’s demeanor, probably never intended to charge first.

However, Hill discovered something strange...there’s an indistinct difference between this Evil God and the former Goddess of the Sea.

Otherwise, the primary enemy of those sea beasts would definitely not be Scaret.

It should be known that Ellie has always stayed nearby, never leaving, and those giant sea beasts have always been trying to attack the valley, lying dead in droves but never retreating.

Although she has always transformed herself into a wisp of wind, wandering thousands of meters away from Cain Valley, how could Hill not sense her?

Thousands of meters to him is no different than being right in front of him.

If ’Snow Cloud Peak’ hadn’t told him not to bother that woman for the time being, Hill would have long sent a few hurricanes her way to deliver her to Scaret.

But obviously, the judgment of this Snow Grand Commander was once again correct.

Even though Ellie is controlled by that Evil God and even has control over those giant beasts, they are not the same god.

Or perhaps this mastermind prepared two options, using two different faces... no matter which side loses, she can immediately and completely sever ties with the other?

That’s why the style of doing things is so erratic and seemingly illogical, but indeed, it’s well-concealed enough.

After all, even she probably doesn’t know what decisions her own faces might make or if they’ll conflict?

Anyway, as it seems now, although the face of the Goddess of the Sea is used to cover for that love and beauty, it does not necessarily primarily side with the other face.

When there is a conflict between the two sides’ ideas, the face of the Goddess of the Sea naturally chooses her own side.

Otherwise, according to the primary target of this mastermind, those giant beasts should have chosen to cooperate with Triton first and attack Cain Valley together.

Or, is this the real reason why, between Eosca and Triton, where Triton seemed to have the upper hand, Gaia unhesitatingly chose to cooperate with Eosca?

How interesting.

Did she mess up playing with multiple faces by herself?

Indeed, the deities from Greece, no matter how much they plot, and no matter how poisonous their conspiracies, they always seem to have some inexplicable flaw... even making one wonder if their success is because those they calculate against are even dumber.

Hill sat at the edge of the Cloud Platform, sipping his little glass of wine leisurely.

So, Aesces, is it because of that stone head and club-like thinking that caught the attention of the Greek deities, right?

”Do you want to go to the World Tree for some further studies?” He turned to the wisp beside him, chuckling, ”Don’t lean too much on Eo’s methods, with just that little brain, don’t waste it.”

Aesces remained silent... he actually never quite believed ’Snow Cloud Peak’’s judgment.

How could such a strong enemy appear to have such a huge flaw?

So, when ’Snow Cloud Peak’ said that Ambori’s arrival could kill several birds with one stone, he only believed two things: it could infuriate Triton, and the coastal goddess-experienced Ambori could help this world safely pass through this great drought.

Of course, this benefits Aesces and, for the Undead Tribe, it’s that they can find a trustworthy deity in turn, lest they be discarded ruthlessly one day.

However, seeing all this before him, Aesces could only admit, considering he’s not yet brainless...he might understand his enemies less than someone who neither understands nor respects deities at all.

This realization was hard for him to accept.

Hill took a sip of mint wine, popped a piece of pineapple cake into his mouth, and gleefully watched Aesces struggling... he’s genuinely skeptical if the stone head is contemplating going to the World Tree to ask what he should do next!

If he really goes, it will be interesting.

His family’s old ancestors might even knock their roots out...has it come to this point, can Aesces still back out?

Either let things take their course or completely restart.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ stood at the edge of the cliff, gazing at the long coastline.

”Old Dog, the whole line is already fully manned, the Moon Clan came in strong this time.” ’Susu,’ who stood behind him, said worriedly, ”Over on Black Rose’s side, the Elder has already made a big move directly, almost got the defense line pierced by the surprise attack of Archmage Scaret.”

”As long as Hill is up there watching the spectacle, it should be fine.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ said without blinking, ”We must hold on our own for this round in front.

The reason for placing Black Rose there is because they have the strongest defensive power. Tell Baldy they at least have to hold until the third round.

Ambori absolutely cannot leave; she must stay on this main battlefield, with Ellie by her side!”

”Okay.”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ glanced back: ”The high-level combat power from Danborona hasn’t arrived yet?”

”There’s no movement from Basia.”

”They’re not those minor nobles who need to transfer; they should definitely fly straight over.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ pondered for a while, ”Are they planning to ambush those Archmage Scaret sages?

They’re old rivals, with grudges as deep as the sea!”

”Do you think they’ll definitely come?”

”I wasn’t confident before, but the reaction of those mage nobles confirms it; they know a bit of news.

Ha~

If their grandparents didn’t tell them there’s going to be big trouble here, why would those people hold onto the Lily-of-the-Valley Guesthouse and refuse to leave!

Heh~

But they’re still daring to stay in Cain Valley, obviously knowing those old folks are bound to come.”

He looked up at that particularly conspicuous white cloud overhead... The land was suffering drought, a sky without a cloud, even near the sea the sun was blazing, Hill’s spectacle is just too straightforward and eye-catching.

”I wonder if Hill knows where those people have gone. Normally, mages of that level shouldn’t escape his gaze, right?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ mused, pinching his chin, ”Should I go and ask?”

’Susu’ couldn’t help but blink and looked at the confident and perceptive white-robed mage before her, sighing softly and silently: This person is excellent in every way, it’s a pity he talks.

”Why are you still dawdling here? Quickly contact each clan leader!

If anyone can’t hold, say it quickly; we still have two reserve teams, Battle Field and Night Hawk, that haven’t been deployed!

Set Baldy’s side as special, his message comes immediately!

Have you spoken to him?

Can you do it? If not, hurry and get someone else! Don’t wait until...”

”Speaking now.” ’Susu’ interrupted this storm of questioning in a lifeless tone with three words.

Ambori shifted uneasily.

’Lu Huayu’ looked at her: ”Ambori, have you discovered something? If there’s a problem, speak up at once; we can check it out.

Don’t worry about causing trouble to others; we have plenty of hands, and even if you’re wrong it doesn’t matter.”

Would Ambori be afraid of troubling people?

Nonsense!

The Apocalyptic Boss looked at his chief steward in horror... He began to recall, wondering if ’Lu Huayu’ was also speaking glibly when addressing him.

Then he shook his head vigorously: Fortunately, although his speech is equally tactful, at least he wouldn’t say it’s dark in front of a blind person.

”On the right, there’s an aura I’ve encountered before in Toril.” Ambori spoke slowly, ”Can’t say it’s an enemy, but the scent is just annoyingly repulsive... Hmm, it somewhat resembles that bitch Shuni’s scent, but is even nastier.”

’Lu Huayu’ blinked: ”Does this world have an Exterior God’s aspect attempting to become the Goddess of Love and Beauty, is that the feeling you’re referring to?”

In the past, Ambori had a peculiar appearance, causing her to particularly loathe the goddesses famed for beauty, a fact he knew.

Clearly, the one conflicting with Ambori’s divinity was Celene, who held navigator divinity, but when encountering both Celene and Shuni simultaneously, Ambori... would undoubtedly target Shuni first.

Though uncertain where her emotions originated, she knew who was more hateful.

Toril’s goddess, truth be told, there are plenty more evil than Ambori, but even the Goddess of Disease doesn’t have her reputation; in fact, it’s strongly tied to Ambori’s half-crazy demeanor.

Even a foolish and mad kind alignment goddess must have robust backing, let alone being downright evil.

”No, it’s even more pungent, Shuni’s a bitch, not this pungent.” Ambori confined her words to that small circle... As taught by ’Lu Huayu’: when speaking ill, choose a setting only the insiders can hear.

And Ambori never considered her priests or such as insiders, only Shark-head and ’Lu Huayu’ were.

As for the accessory beside ’Lu Huayu’, it could be disregarded.

’Lu Huayu’ pondered for seconds before abruptly reacting: ”You’ve smelled that in Toril?”
