Cthulhu Fantasy : I Am The Great Old One

The rain was strange. It only covered the crops in the valley. Not a single drop of rain fell on the square in the middle of the valley.    

This was obviously not natural.    

In the rock wall, Shrimp Leader was looking at the rain from afar.    

It seemed like the effect of the climate modification project was not bad...    

Different from the seventh framework, the climate modification project and the accompanying internal circulation project had received the support of all shrimp people when it was first proposed.    

"Food is the foundation, only with food can there be a future" This was what most shrimp people thought.    

Looking at it now, under the influence of the climate modification project, soon, the people with fire would welcome a bountiful harvest.    

The spirits of the clansmen had been tense for too long, so it was good to relax a little from time to time.    

However, as the leader, he could not relax. Shrimp Leader calmed his mind and analyzed the current situation.    

It had been quite some time since that battle. The people of Fire had experienced two harvests during that time. That battle was also called the battle for revenge because it was the first time the people of Fire had taken the initiative to fight back.    

The Battle of Revenge had given the people of Fire the confidence to fight back. After that, the people of Fire controlled the fortress to swallow another eight enemy troops. The progress after that was not so ideal. The enemy had indeed changed their tactics. It had been a long time since the mobile fortress had captured an enemy that they could attack.    

Thinking of the few enemy troops that they had encountered recently, Shrimp Leader was sure that the enemy was planning something. Those enemies did not have any intention of fighting back. Instead, they seemed to be forcing their own side to change directions.    

The enemy was carrying out a second round of hunting.    

The valley fortress still had a certain advantage. The fifth structure, which was originally used to search for the enemy's Tidal Controller, showed its importance in actual combat. The remodelling plan was put on the agenda. Now, the optimized structure could even detect the enemy troops beyond the horizon.    

The enemy's Tidal Construction was still much slower than the Valley's Movement Speed.    

The clansmen would only cheer for victory time and time again, but only Shrimp Leader and the managers of the nodes knew how many risks they had escaped from along the way.    

The enemy did not accept the battle because they were guarding against their own unexpected means, but the valley's emptiness should have been exposed. It was obvious that their individual strength was strong, but they did not dare to fight head-on. Anyone could see that there was something wrong with it.    

The next battle would definitely not be so easy. The people of the fire even had to be prepared to return to the fire.    

So the sea is the right direction?    

Shrimp Leader looked at the god from afar.    

The god had given him the right to choose, but could he really make the right choice?    

After all, no matter what choice he made, he had to pay a heavy price.    

As expected, he was not a qualified leader...    

————————    

Under the waves in the distance, Deep One Priest and the others were discussing their battle plan.    

The enemy was not that strong. Deep One Priest had seen that the enemy did not dare to engage in close combat. This undoubtedly showed that the enemy did not have enough warriors.    

But... it was very troublesome.    

The enemy was too good at running.    

The waves controlled by the priests could not catch up to the enemy at all. The enemy seemed to have some kind of powerful detection method. Their allied forces would be discovered very far away, causing several attempts to surround them to become a joke.    

It was not that the priest group had not tried to conduct a large-scale search, but the effect was not good. Ordinary legions could not retaliate against the enemy's mobile fortresses at all. They would be swallowed in an instant, leaving only headless corpses on the ground, as if mocking the intelligence level of the priest group.    

And now, the decision of the Priest regiment had changed to a new way of fighting. They used the allied army formed by ordinary legions to drive the enemy away, trying to make the enemy move to the direction the Priest regiment wanted.    

This was not easy. If the enemy could be obedient, the war would not have dragged on for so long.    

The movement of the allied army was not without cost. Soldiers were not able to produce. If the war continued to win, the dividends would naturally fill the stomachs of these soldiers. But as this kind of war that did not have any benefits fought longer and longer, the logistical pressure also increased.    

The number of legions on the frontlines also increased, causing the priests to feel that it was unreal. The speed at which the enemy grew was simply too fast.    

In the beginning, it was just an ordinary legion's attack that nearly wiped out their entire clan. After that, Dark Spawn sent out five elite legions and three priest legions to deal with the enemy gods. But he didn't even see the other gods, and now... In order to annihilate the enemy that had grown into poisonous insects, a total of nine armies searched this land. The majority consisted of six legions, and the least consisted of three legions.    

The situation of the war had changed, and Dark Spawn had been completely led away. This was not good news.    

Maybe he should change his way of thinking.    

"Use the bait. Don't those six-legged beasts like to catch alone? Let them catch enough." Deep One Priest, who was holding a bone dagger, spoke.    

"You will bear the responsibility? I still remember how you helped yourself escape punishment after the last battle." The priest with the hook sneered, "Why didn't the priest of Capital of God skin you?"    

"Stop." The priest with the spear stopped the two sides from arguing, "Tell me the specific plan first."    

"No plan..." Deep One Priest drew a circle with the bone dagger in his hand. "Those six-legged beasts are not stupid. They would not bite the hook if they did that. Didn't they call back some exiled priests because of the shortage of soldiers recently? Just throw them out. "    

"The transfer order says that the alliance army will be transferred and that they will bring their own legion to report to the new station" Playing with the dagger in his hand, Deep One Priest told him his plan, "Make the trip a bit longer. He would spend more time on the road and then focus on the bait. Those six-legged beasts won't be able to hold themselves back. "    

"As for when to withdraw the net..." Deep One Priest spread his hands. "That will depend on the priests. But I suggest that we wait a little bit longer. In this way, the vigilance of those six-legged beasts will be lower. "    

"Do you know what you're saying?" The priest holding the hook spoke, "If your plan gets out, the first one to be thrown out as bait will be you."    

"Then what do you think we should do?" The priest with the dagger looked angry. "Now we can't do anything to those six-legged beasts. I said an idea and you're not happy. What do you want to do? Continue wasting time here? Do you know how much food the soldiers need to consume in a day? "    

" Enough! " The pig-wielding priest stopped both sides, "Report it, whether or not we use this plan depends on the decision."    

The resolution would agree. They wanted to eliminate these six-legged beasts as soon as possible. This was what the pike-wielding priest did not say.    

After all, the logistical pressure was too great...    

Even the gods could not wait any longer...
