The Underdark.
A desolate place, filled with strong toxins. In the past, even creatures like worms and goblins living at the bottom of the underdark would not visit here.
But today, a strange blood-red light suddenly appeared, which could be seen even by people far away. The light lasted only for a short time, and then a deep crack appeared in this dead land. The crack was so deep that one could not see the bottom, and faint wailing sounds came from inside, as if it was connected to hell, which made people shudder.
Erwin has returned to the auction, and her men immediately delivered the news to her.
"Is the second round of attack starting so soon?"
Erwin glanced at the magical message that was transmitted and murmured, "This turmoil is many times stronger than before. It is the followers of the God of Slaughter and the level of the Underdark!"
At this point, all the dark elves in the Underdark understood one thing clearly, that is, the God of Slaughter had declared war without any concealment!
Maybe it's because of nature.
The God of Slaughter's favorite thing is conquest. From the day he was born and became a deity, he will be invading and fighting for nearly three hundred days a year!
Erwin has integrated the Dark Elves. After returning to the Underdark, she issued a warning to all the leaders. Although Rose would not pay attention to the fighting among her men, this also meant that in the past, many Dark Elves would have bloody incidents fighting for territory. Even if they had the same skin color, no Dark Elf would show mercy when fighting.
The dark elves abandoned the old way of ruling all elves with one elven king, and instead led the people through a council composed of the patriarchs of several powerful families in each city. Only the most powerful priest or warrior in the family could become the patriarch.
Interestingly, every Dark Elf family has to be wary of other families, because the Dark Elves' way of dealing with things is quite cruel. They believe that what is not seen is not a sin. It often happens that a family swallows up or wipes out other families in order to gain power. If they do it cleanly, they will be recognized. If they are discovered, what awaits them is the joint punishment of other families, which will summon demons from the Abyss to directly wipe out the attacking family.
In this regard, Rose not only does not stop it, she will even give the winner some attractive rewards!
The dark elves worked hard to improve their social status and their standing in Lolth's eyes, and if that effort meant killing people, so be it.
But now it is different. Compared with the internal fighting in the past, this time, with the God of Slaughter's complete declaration of war, it means that the Underdark has entered a level war. The horror of this war is no less than any bloody battle between demons and devils!
The Dark Elves united together, and just as the Dark Elf troops were gathering, Erwin led a team of elite scouts and rushed towards the distant crack!
Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!
This is the knowledge Erwin learned in the human world. At this time, the rift opened. Although the army of the God of Slaughter has not really arrived yet, as one of the leaders of the dark elves here, Erwin has the obligation to inquire about the situation there.
Erwin crossed a high ground covered with thorns.
What appeared before him was a strange jungle. It was strange because there were many corpses of monsters and some skeletons that had been eaten clean.
Everything in front of him told Erwin that a battle had taken place here, and it had happened not long ago. What surprised Erwin was that those enemies who suddenly appeared had a full meal first.
The followers of the God of Slaughter include the gnolls, who possess keen speed and a keen sense of smell and are natural scouts.
Gnolls regard all creatures, including their own people, as food. Everything they do is driven by hunger. Money and magic cannot impress them. Appetite is the only driving force. Gnolls have no feelings for other races. They only want to get a piece of the pie from others. Gnolls will share the good times with you but never the bad times. How long he will cooperate with you depends entirely on whether you are strong enough and whether you feed him enough.
Erwin turned over the corpse beside him and found that the originally pale bones were covered with dense black spots. This was a sign of poisoning. Erwin analyzed that the people who were exploring here were most likely a group of werewolf assassins!
Gnoll Assassins: Assassins are usually small Gnolls, rarely more than 6 and a half feet tall, and their skin color is relatively dark in the tribe. They are tacticians and fire support troops in the Gnoll troops, usually using poison arrows as weapons, and the venom on the arrows is mostly taken from spiders.
Erwin stared at the other corpse. The flesh and blood on the other person's body had been corroded, as if he had been attacked by some kind of magic before death!
Things are getting a little tricky!
Erwin's eyes turned gloomy. From the dead bodies, Erwin got some clues. Not only were there Jackal assassins, but there were even some Jackal Watchers coming this time!
Gnoll Watcher: Gnoll Watchers are born with natural magic. Not to mention outsiders, even the gnolls themselves cannot understand the source of this power. Therefore, the watchers are both feared and envied in the tribe.
Regardless of which tribe they came from, these magical creatures always had some purple hair. Perhaps this magical ability was not divine, because judging from the attire of the watchers, they tried not to wear any additional protective gear to avoid affecting their spell abilities.
The Watchers do not like close combat, they use magic to enhance the abilities of the brute or directly attack the opponent under the protection of the brute. They also have a unique ability that can gradually induce fear in the hearts of the enemies around them.
Watchers are extremely rare among the Gnoll tribe. It is common for one Watcher to be born among a thousand Gnoll babies.
The God of Slaughter was more serious about the Underdark than Erwin had expected. He even sent out such a rare type of troops, and this was just a team of scouts.
"Everyone enter emergency combat readiness!"
Erwin raised her hand and ordered her men to go into defense. At the same time, she stared ahead. Although she had night vision, at this moment, she didn't know if it was an illusion or a psychological effect. She only felt that everything in front of her was pitch black, without any light, and also... without any hope!
