Chapter 1524 Gwen's Journey Into the Dark Abyss (2)
Gwen knew at that time that she had caused the unity of the drow by mistake, but she had no choice. Many things were out of control, and she was only one person. What she could do was very limited. Even if she made a plan, she couldn't implement it.
Now that they have helpers, they can do more, but their plans are not very smooth. During the period, people in the team continued to sacrifice, but they always grew up every time.
Especially Gwen, from being hesitant and sentimental at the beginning, she gradually grew into a decisive and resolute qualified captain.
Even her heart began to become cold and hard. In the past, she would empathize and cry when she saw innocent slaves die, and she was sad for several days.
But now, even if her companions who shared the same ideals and fought side by side died in front of her, Gwen was just in a trance for a while, turned her head and shook off the sadness.
Occasionally, she would feel confused: "Am I still what I wanted to be?"
The bard Maguire in the team plucked the harp and said with a smile: "No matter what, you can better fulfill your original dream now, right?"
"You are right, Maguire." Gwen took a deep breath and her eyes became firm again: "Even if the changes in me are what she wants to see, just as she continues to bless me, I will continue to move forward firmly!"
She wondered if her coldness at times was related to the blessing of the Spider Queen?
In the past, Gwen could confidently declare that she would never be influenced by the Spider Queen, even if she continued to be blessed by the Spider Queen.
But now, Gwen dare not guarantee it 100%. She has changed too much. If she were to see it in her previous self, she would definitely feel very strange.
Perhaps, the Spider Queen used the method of boiling a frog in warm water to slowly and subtly influence herself?
Perhaps one day, she will be completely assimilated and become another drow mistress that she hates so much?
Gwen didn't care to think too much, because she had no way out.
In the subsequent battles, Gwen won more than she lost.
Thanks to her intelligence, the help of the team, and the blessing of the Spider Queen, she can always find a way out of danger, hovering between multiple drow families, provoking them to fight each other, and then defeating them one by one.
At the same time, as they liberated more and more slaves, many of them were willing to follow Gwen, and they began to build a city for the slaves.
Although everything seemed to be developing better and better in the general direction, Gwen's comrades died in battle one after another.
The legendary adventurers who first came to fight with her have only two left from five people, one of whom is the ascetic monk Osed, and the other is the bard Peter Maguire.
Gwen established a deep relationship with them, and fell in love with Peter Maguire over time and developed a good impression of each other.
Unfortunately, their situation does not allow for love, and they can only restrain each other.
As time went by, the situation seemed to be getting better and better. Gwen and her team continued to expand their territory, and together with the liberated slaves and the black dwarf forces who had turned back, they created the Eternal Light Alliance.
When the Eternal Light Alliance continued to encroach on the territory of the Drow family, Gwen and her companions made too much effort to survive from the cracks at the beginning to being able to fight against the Drow later.
They no longer concealed their ultimate goal - to purify the entire Dark Abyss and eradicate the Drow elves, the followers of the Spider Queen Rose!
As the oldest god, Rose can be said to be one of the most powerful gods in the world.
Gwen's ambition is not only to exile the Drow elves, her followers, but to kill the gods!
But she was worried that proposing this goal would cause panic within the alliance.
For example, the black dwarves who abandoned darkness and joined the light, their ancestors had lived under the shadow of the Spider Queen for generations, and they could not imagine or believe that Gwen and others could kill the gods, so naturally they would not follow them all the way to the dark.
In fact, the black dwarves just wanted to drive away the drow elves. After all, in their history, the Dark Abyss was originally an unowned land, and the traditional sphere of influence of the Spider Queen was not here.
In a war of gods before the ancient times, the powerful elven Schmidt Empire fell apart, and some elves abandoned their original beliefs and followed the Spider Queen Rose.
So Rose regarded the underground abyss as their promised land. After this part of the elves settled in the Dark Abyss, they became drow.
The black dwarves were also oppressed by the drow too much, and they had no choice but to join Gwen. Their biggest wish was to restore the glory of their ancestors and get rid of the drow slave owners who were riding on their heads and acting arrogantly.
In short, although the black dwarves joined Gwen's forces, they were also wavering. Now, taking advantage of Gwen's momentum and suppressing the drow, they chose to join in and wave their flags.
But if Gwen loses one day, these dwarves are probably the first to run away. As the saying goes, they will help whoever wins.
Gwen can't scare these wavering fence-sitters, so she can only coax and deceive them.
Frankly speaking, she couldn't handle these things in the past, but now she has to slowly learn politics and compromise.
During this period, she is also constantly accumulating strength. As the saying goes, those who are righteous have many helpers, and more and more like-minded people gather around her.
As the Eternal Light Alliance led by Gwen grows stronger, the power of the Drow family continues to shrink, and the offense and defense are changing!
At the beginning, there were only a few hundred people in the Eternal Light. They kept running around in the dark underground like headless flies. Wherever they ran, they would be chased and blocked by the drow. Everyone lived a precarious life.
Only with a firm will can they persist in this darkness without light and hope.
Now, they have become a major force that fights against the drow. Instead, the drow were beaten back step by step, and even had to unite and establish a Supreme United Council.
The drow, who would not give up until they died in the past, actually learned to unite in front of a strong enemy. It must be said that this is also a wonder.
As the intensity of the war between the two sides continued to increase, finally, a decisive battle that swept the entire dark abyss was inevitable.
At this time, the situation of the Eternal Light Alliance was very good, and its power was growing like a snowball. The aborigines and slaves underground had long been full of anger at the cruel rule of the drow.
Gwen's appearance was like throwing a spark on dry firewood, which immediately caught fire and then spread like wildfire.
