In the underground world, in the underground lake in the southwest of the Deep Rift Cave, a huge earth water lizard is swimming in the water...
Behind it sat more than a dozen underground races with different costumes, mainly dark dwarves and underground gnomes.
If you look closely, you will find that although these underground races are dressed differently, they have the same sickle-shaped logo on their chests.
It is a symbol of death and is often used on formal occasions.
In the underground world, this symbol has another meaning, that is, the wearer belongs to the Silent City-State Alliance, a large city-state organization in the western region of the underground world, and is one of many dungeon residents who believe in death.
The city-state alliance is a common joint force in the underground world. Although the alliance structure is loose, and the inner city-states are often at war with each other, some are even mortal enemies, but when faced with the invasion of external powerful forces, they will Unite as one to the outside world.
The Silent City-State Alliance is an alliance composed of many small and medium-sized city-states that believe in the god of death. They occupy part of the upper part of the western part of the Underdark region, and are perennially hostile to the Dark City-State Alliance, another city-state organization in the western region that believes in the god of darkness and shadow.
Of course, unlike the Dark City-State Alliance, which has a long history and has nearly fifty dungeons, the Silent City-State Alliance is young and weak, with only seventeen cities combined.
It is worth mentioning that although the Black Rock City in the Deep Rift Cave also believes in the god of death, this dungeon is located in a remote location and is small in scale. Be a member of any confederation of city-states...
Of course, with the passage of time, the Church of Death has brought Black Rock City under its control, and Black Rock City is close to the entrance to the surface world from the western border of the underground world.
Obviously, the one who took the water lizard this time should be a mission from the Silent City-State Alliance, and their destination was Black Rock City in the Deep Rift.
On the head of the water lizard, an old dark dwarf with a long gray-red beard and a big bald head was leaning on a staff, standing there silently, vaguely like the leader of the crowd.
He was wearing a black mage robe, with a serious expression. The deep wrinkles and vicissitudes of life on his face made him look a little more melancholy and he looked preoccupied.
The old dwarf named Firebeard was 141 years old.
The reason why he took this name is because dwarves are beautiful with beards, and when he was young, he had a long red beard like fire, which made the dwarves proud and was sought after by many female dark dwarves...
Of course, that was already young.
Even if Huobeu is a gold-ranked professional, his lifespan is almost double that of ordinary clansmen, but among the dark dwarves with an average lifespan of 100 years, he is now considered an old man.
Logically speaking, no matter how strong the dark dwarves of this age are, they will often choose to retire, choose to retire in the dungeon, and at most participate in the decision-making of some important affairs as a member of the elders.
And yet... war is coming.
This war was initiated by the Alliance of Dark Cities, who believed in the gods of darkness and shadows, with a simple purpose: to defeat and destroy the Alliance of Silent Cities.
The Dark City-State Alliance has been hostile and coveted to the Quiet City-State Alliance for a long time. However, due to its constant internal city-state struggle and serious internal friction, although the overall strength is far stronger than the Quiet City-State Alliance, it has maintained a subtle relationship with the Quiet City-State Alliance for thousands of years. balance.
However, since last year, the magic power of the entire Saiggs plane has rebounded, and the lord of Morsuo City, the largest dungeon of the Dark City-State Alliance, "Lich King Pelogne" took the opportunity to break through to the legend, and with the support of some hidden existences, in a very short time After the integration of the power of the entire city-state alliance in time, this balance was broken.
When the balance is broken, war comes.
As the previous chief of the city of Blades, the largest dungeon of the Silent City-State Alliance, and Huobeard, one of the gods favored by Death in the underground world and one of the leaders of the dark dwarves, he must naturally shoulder his responsibilities.
This time, he will lead the messengers of other dungeons to Black Rock City for help.
As a dark dwarf, Firebeard also traveled in the underworld when he was young, and he also reached Black Rock City.
In Huobeard's memory, Black Rock City was just a small remote city, with a population of only a few thousand.
Such a dungeon, with low strength and weak background, can be said to be very weak, except for the presence of another dark dwarf God-Blessed.
It can even be said that such a city would have been annexed by other dungeons long ago if it were not for the remote borders of the underground world!
However... it is such a city, but it has become a place of hope in the oracle of the god of death, telling them that the chance to win this war is here, and implying that they go here for help.
Not only that, but His Majesty the God of Death even issued an oracle to arrange super teleportation circles in various dungeons!
And the other end of the ultra-long-distance teleportation circle is naturally Black Rock City.
In other words, the reinforcements sought will be sent directly from Black Rock City to various dungeons to join their battlefields.
However, Huoshu couldn't figure out what reinforcements would be in Black Rock City...
He had been to Black Rock City before, and he knew that there were only thousands of dark dwarves in Black Rock City, and not many people had reached the upper ranks of Black Iron.
The scale of this war is huge, and what can the thousands of dark dwarves who are not good at fighting do
Of course, as a devout believer of Death, Huoshu has long been accustomed to the habit of speaking half of his true god.
Besides... He did hear some rumors some time ago. Although the content was ridiculous, it was probably related to the oracle of the True God.
That is half a year ago, Black Rock City was besieged by the shadow army, and successfully defeated the opponent, and also defeated a shadow dragon!
However, considering that this year, visions have occurred all over the world, and all kinds of strange and absurd news have been spread in the black market one after another.
However, despite the doubts in his heart, Huobeard still carried out the instructions of the true God.
But others are different.
Most of the embassy's faces were heavy, with worry on their brows.
This situation continued until they crossed the underground lake and came to Black Rock City.
"Is this the city of Black Rock? Where there is hope in the oracle of death? The city rumored to have defeated a shadow dragon?"
Looking at the low city walls in front of him, and the rocky city on the surrounding borders at a glance, an underground gnome in the team frowned slightly.
