The upside-down fluorite glows with cool fluorescence, giving a little light to the vast underground space, and the underground plants appear hazy and mysterious in the dark.
At the edge of the dark region with lush vegetation, a small lonely outpost was built against the stone wall.
Inside the outpost, a dark-skinned drow soldier stood in front of the observation window, staring at the dark tunnel diagonally below, with a vigilant light shining in his black eyes.
"Angra! Don't just stand around! Come on! Play cards with us!" On the side, Luke, who had gathered for entertainment with many companions, turned back and called out to his friends.
"Luke, our task is to guard the passage and guard against alien invasion," Angela responded calmly to her friend's call without looking back.
"Please! This is the rear of Darkmoon City, what aliens dare to come, those degenerate murlocs, or those ignorant gnolls?!"
"It's good if we don't trouble them. Come on, come join us, don't be suspicious all day long, really, you finally got rid of those stinky women, can't you relax!"
Angra frowned slightly, he was not clear about what his friend said.
In the past, even if he didn't respond to his friend's call to join everyone's gambling game, he would go to the side to polish his precious scimitar, or go to the yard to hone his martial arts.
But today, for some reason, his heartbeat was chaotic, he felt uneasy, and he always felt that something was about to happen.
Beside the gambling table, Luke turned his head and saw his friend standing by the window indifferently. He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was straightened by a strong hand at the side.
"Leave him alone, since Angela likes it, let him stand alone, let's continue!"
"Bet! Bet!"
"Buy and leave!"
"Open! Open! Open!"
"..."
There was too much noise behind her, Angela's pointed ears trembled, her brows frowned slightly, and then she relaxed. She continued to stare at the entrance of the tunnel below with a blank expression. The tunnel was connected to another dark area.
The Underdark Region where Darkmoon City is located is a large Underdark Region, connecting six Underdark Regions in total.
Due to the different dark areas connected, the garrison forces at each tunnel entrance are also different.
For example, at Pass Fort connected to the entrance of the tunnel in the direction of the Red Nest Crypt, a small war fortress was built there. Three hundred elite drow were stationed in the fortress, and a master-level powerhouse was permanently stationed in the fortress.
Another example is the Silver Flash Outpost guarded by Angra. Since it is in the rear and there are no threatening enemies in the connected dark area, there are only fifteen people stationed there, and the strongest are only three middle-level professionals.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.
The defense facilities of the Silver Flash Outpost were also designed according to the standard of war. Outside the tunnel entrance is a semicircular city wall, the wall is eight meters high, and the guarding soldiers only need to stand on the wall and shoot to block enemies several times their own size. .
It is precisely because of the perfect defense measures and the fact that there have been no incidents for many years that the guards of the Silver Flash Outpost have become lax.
After standing in front of the window specially used to observe the tunnel for more than half an hour, Angela, a mid-level ranger, also felt a little tired, walking back and forth in front of the window to move her sore legs and feet.
"call!"
He took a long breath, his pupils were bright and dark, and he was puzzled.
Am I really worrying too much
Just thinking about it, Angra's ears trembled suddenly, and she heard a slight knocking sound from the roof. It was the sound of the creature's claws hitting the rock.
His heartbeat suddenly slowed down by half a beat, and a deadly chill invaded and penetrated into the bone marrow.
Turning slightly on tiptoe, Angra spun and hid behind the thick wall, and at the same time shouted: "There are enemies! Prepare to fight!"
While Angra was shouting, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground outside, and someone jumped from the roof, just outside the door.
The drow guards around the gaming table suddenly woke up, shot up, and ran towards the weapons hanging on the wall and on the table.
boom!
He kicked heavily on the door, and the half-hidden door was kicked open.
Angra didn't even think about it, she instinctively let go of the fingers holding the bowstring, the arrow shot out instantly, and the spare bowstring trembled back and forth.
At the same time as the arrow was shot, Angra's heart was a little cold, because he saw clearly the scene outside the door, and there was no one there.
False move!
Whoosh whoosh!
The sound of arrows piercing through the air sounded, and a dozen arrows swished in through the window, shooting at the drow guards who took up their weapons in a panic.
"ah!"
Five drow guards were shot by arrows, and two of them lost their lives directly. Among the two unlucky ones was his friend—Luke. Luke was unfortunately shot in the neck by an arrow, and he was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open Convulsions, blood gushed out of the mouth.
Angra didn't have time to worry about his friend. While the arrow was shooting, the enemy who tricked him with the arrow rushed in from the door.
The leader was a half-covered wolf man. With a dagger in one hand and a dagger in the other, he stomped on the ground and rushed into the house, rolling around on the ground. The dagger stabbed at the nearest Zhuo at a tricky angle from bottom to top. Er guards.
The drow guard only felt a pain in his abdomen, and looked down to see a bloody wound.
In Angra's eyes, all he could see was the Gnoll rolling around and flashing his dagger before rushing towards the next target, while the steaming internal organs of the previous target flowed out of his stomach.
Advanced!
Angra's heart trembled, the movement was so fast that it was almost invisible, and the ghostly figure must be a strong person above the middle level.
Turning his head to see the enemies pouring out of the passage, Angra hurriedly ran to the window. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.
escape!
While the Gnoll was killing, the people who rushed in after him were not idle, fighting with the resisting drow guards, with the sound of weapons clashing and battle roars.
At this time, there were only five raiders in the room, and the number of drow guards was temporarily dominant.
In the chaos, Angra jumped out of the narrow window like diving, rolled around on the ground and rushed to the grass outside the outpost.
It was not only Angela who escaped, but also two other drow guards. The three looked at each other and ran towards the lush wilderness without looking back.
Whoosh whoosh!
There was the sound of sharp weapons piercing the air behind them. This was the arrows shot by the attackers standing on the city wall. Judging from the sound of a string of arrows, there were no less than twenty arrows.
The two drows had no time to react, and their lives were taken away by the dense arrows.
Angra rolled around on the ground, dodging most of the arrows, but was shot in the arm by an arrow.
He cut off the arrow with a single blow, gritted his teeth and drilled into the lush plants.
Inside the outpost, led by three high-ranking thieves, the battle ended in just twenty seconds.
The high-level thief leader was standing at the window, just in time to see the back of Angra submerged in the plant. He turned his head and looked coldly at the middle-level partner beside him. This jackal looked a little embarrassed and looked down at his feet.
Like all raiders, his feet were wrapped in a cloth, but unlike the others, a sharp toenail of this gnoll pierced the cloth and exposed it.
"Boss! I'll go after him!"
Another high-ranking Gnoll thief volunteered and rushed towards the window, but a hand blocked him.
"No need, someone will take care of him."
On the other side, Angra ran quickly among the underground plants above her head.
In the past, he would never have dared to enter such a lush wilderness, who knows if a poisonous snake would suddenly appear.
But at this time, in order to escape for his life, he couldn't control so much.
After running for about ten seconds, he found that no one was chasing him. While running, he stretched his hand behind his back and took off the signal flare on his waist.
Suddenly, a deadly chill fell from the sky.
Before Angra could react, she was pierced through the head by an arrow of ice falling from the sky, and fell to the ground all at once.
In the sky, Luna Bloodfeather, a member of the Harpy family, exited the stealth state, glanced at the drow who was rushing to the street, and saw the signal flare in his hand, and the corner of his mouth curled up in disdain.
"I still want to spoil the master's important matter, there is no way~."
……………
At the silver flash outpost, the shrunken Jose stood on the wall of the drow, looking into the gray distance.
On the two sides of the red dragon stood the kobold-Ergo and the gnoll-Hogg Riverpaw. Behind them stood the main force who had just raided the Silver Flash post, a group of professional thieves who stood obediently and quietly.
Further back, a neat army of monsters walked through the tunnel, passed through the small city gate, passed through the outpost, and walked up the gravel path leading to Darkmoon City.
"Go at full speed! Take Darkmoon City before the enemy reacts!"
Hearing the red dragon's order, the fully armed monster army moved a little faster.
After gazing for a moment, Jose turned his head to look at the masked Gnoll thief standing behind him with his hands behind his back, and the many other thieves behind the Gnoll thief.
They are [Red Dagger].
[Red Dagger] was established seven years ago. It is an assassination organization planned and established by Red Dragon. The organization currently has 63 members, led by three high-level thieves, and the rest of the members are all middle-level.
"You guys did a great job this time!"
After affirming the actions of his family members, Jose turned to the kobolds beside him: "Yougou, give them a credit."
Hearing this, everyone in [Red Dagger] felt excited and beamed with joy.
"But don't be proud, there are more challenges waiting for you," the red dragon said loudly, "Do you understand?!"
"clear!"
"Very well, go, keep up with the team, and carry out your mission."
"yes!"
[Red Dagger] The thieves jumped directly from the city wall and ran past the edge of the monster army.
As a special force of all thieves, in addition to being proficient in assassination, they are also excellent scouts, taking on the task of checking out the traps outside the Shadow City.
After everyone in [Red Dagger] had left, Jose once again turned his gaze to the gray distance, which was the direction of Dark Moon City.
Darkmoon City was built on the plain with a history of thousands of years. The main leaders are the ten drow families. As for the ten families, Jose didn't bother to find out.
Because in his mind, the drow elves in Darkmoon City were already corpses.
However, he did remember the Feibis family, one of the top ten families, for no other reason. The only legendary strongman in Darkmoon City was the mistress of the Feibis family—Napasa Feibi Silk.
"You Gou, the task of commanding the siege is entrusted to you."
On the side, the kobold family members bowed slightly: "I will not disgrace my life, my master."
"This attack must be fast, without giving the enemy time to react, take down the walls of Darkmoon City in a short time, and put pressure on the legendary priests in the city."
Jose continued: "Of course, if the enemy legendary priest makes a move, I will deal with her."
"However, if you fail to force out the enemy legend and let me expose it first, I will be very disappointed, understand!"
"clear!"
"Yeah," Jose nodded.
In a battle at the legendary level, when the strength of both sides is unknown, the side that is exposed later will have an advantage, and the gap is the difference between the raider and the raided.
Therefore, Jose planned to let his family attack the city first, force out the enemy's legendary priest, find his location, and then immediately deal with the enemy.
"Say it again! Be quick! The Black Dragon site is only an hour away from here! We must resolve the battle within an hour of being exposed!"
"Yes!" Er Gou answered loudly.
Jose turned to the gnoll family - Hogg Riverpaw.
"Hogg, you don't need to participate in the siege mission. You take two thousand wolf cavalry and go straight to Yakou Fort. Be sure to take down Yakou Fort. It is the main road leading to the Black Dragon's territory."
"clear!"
Seeing that the two family members looked at death as if they were at home, Jose relieved: "But you don't have to worry too much, the black blood tyrant is at war with the blue fang, our allies promised to hold him back, all right! Let's do it !"
"Yes!" x2
Ergo rode a salamander, Hogg rode a warg and left with their respective teams, leaving José Yilong alone on the city wall, looking at the darkness in the distance, a look of worry flashed in his eyes.
That's right, Blue Fang did agree to hold back the black dragon - O'Neill.
But whether it can be done is a question. The Green Dragon-Poisonous Emerald has made it clear that it will help O'Neill deal with the Blue Dragon.
Jose had to prepare for the worst.
……………
Three hours later, Darkmoon City.
In a majestic temple, the priest of the Spider Queen, Napasha Fabis, knelt in front of the statue, closed her eyes and prayed silently, chanting words.
Suddenly, a temple guard pushed open the gate of the temple and walked in quickly. Seeing Napasha kneeling on the ground, the temple guard couldn't help shivering.
The history of the drow is a textbook about the conspiracy and struggle between women, which is full of violence and blood.
Any mistress of drow has at least hundreds of lives in her hands, many of whom are her own brothers and sisters.
The temple guard kept a distance, and said softly, "My lord, the group of enemies who appeared suddenly attacked very fiercely, and the city wall is almost unable to withstand it."
Napasha remained unmoved, still closing her eyes and praying.
After a long silence, the king who ruled Darkmoon City with absolute force stopped praying, opened his eyes, and said lightly, "Have you figured it out? The identity of the enemy!"
The temple guard swallowed his saliva: "Not yet, I only know that the enemy's ethnic composition is very complex, including goblins, gnolls, ogres, kobolds, and a small number of harpies."
"According to the calculations of other mistresses, there is a high probability that the enemy is a five-color dragon from the evil camp, or a mind flayer or beholder who controls the mind, otherwise..."
"A bunch of trash!" Napasha interrupted the temple guards.
