Chapter 280, Take the Underworld
The area of this planet is not large, more than 60% of it is ocean, there are only three continents, and the underground world is about one-fifth of the area of the surface world.
Three of the four kingdoms of the Dark Elves are concentrated in the eastern part of the Underworld, with Phantom Shadow in the north, Poisonous Thorn in the south, and Heart of Darkness in the middle.
The Soul Claw, on the other hand, is located in the western part of the peninsula's terrain.
There are no big rivers in the underworld, only a few small rivers with small streams all over the underground, and the dark elves live, mostly using well water, so the expeditionary force has no waterway to go.
Above the unexplored rock dome may not be a mountain forest.
It could also be a river!
Behind those rock walls, there are only ores hidden.
There may be undercurrents again!
Even sea water!
So.
The expeditionary force has a large drilling rig, and even if it is a known underground passage, it must be explored by mages before digging, otherwise a flood will rush out, and the entire area will become a flood.
In addition to obtaining the coordinates, the mage used spatial teleportation, and he also needed to go there in person, so the expeditionary force fought underground and was greatly restricted.
You can't use those wild tactics.
Only the old practice army.
Even for the Dark Elves, it took a few days to cross a country to attack someone else's royal city, and the speed was already jaw-dropping.
But the chariot troops, still irritated because the speed is too slow!
Luckily, the dark elves live underground.
If they fight on the ground, they will know what a large transport group airdrop is, and what a teleportation surprise attack is!
But it's compared to marching to places you haven't been before.
The speed of the return trip is back to normal.
Through the portal, return to the Kingdom of the Heart of Darkness and head to the Expeditionary Force stronghold near the Kingdom of the Phantom Shadow.
And the powerful Landon clone personally explored the way for the troops.
Deeper and deeper into the phantom shadows.
A day and a half passed.
A huge spatial portal suddenly appeared a few miles away from the capital of the Phantom Shadow Kingdom.
Sensing such a huge spatial fluctuation, the Shadow Queen Maratia immediately sent someone to investigate, and went to the city wall in person with a solemn expression, and then saw the steel chariot troops under Rams's command quickly coming out of the huge portal.
Levitating in mid-air, Langton maintains the portal while dealing with harassment from Drow Assassins, Dark Mages, and Drow Rangers.
"Bang Bang Bang ~ !!"
Something horrific to all the drows happened, the darkness was dispelled, and flares as dazzling as the little sun rose into the air.
This means that the expeditionary force has been killed, and the Phantom Shadow Kingdom is no longer safe!
News of the crushing defeat of the attack on Dark Heart has spread throughout the Underworld.
Like the Kingdom of Poisonous Thorns, the Kingdom of Phantom Shadows has issued an order to bring supplies and retreat to the King of Souls.
So, find the enemy menacing.
The drow elves of the Phantom Shadow Kingdom are the same as the elves of the Poison Thorn Kingdom, even if there is a demigod queen in charge, they no longer think about how to fight and break off, only how to survive and escape.
Cowardice before you fight!
As the demigod queen who has ruled the country for thousands of years, Maratia knows exactly what all her subjects are thinking.
But she was only a dark mage, not a part-time assassin or ranger.
There are also decisions that melee combat does not have.
"Mage immediately strengthens the protective shield of the royal city!"
"All rangers go up the walls!"
"All lords and generals send out all slave armies, and the assassin forces are hidden among them to attack!"
"High-level combat power destroys the portal!"
"Auxiliaries operate city defense weapons, hit me!"
Hearing Queen Maratia's order, although the drow elves were unwilling, under the demigod Wia, they still obediently carried it out, the rangers quickly ran up the city walls, the warriors drove the slaves and slaves to attack, and the assassins hid in the crowd.
"Boom Boom Boom ~ !!"
"Rumble Boom Boom ~ !!"
The artillery bombarded violently, and the magic shield of the royal city, which had been strengthened by the dark mage, crumbled, and the walls shook, and the ground of the entire royal city trembled slightly.
Auxiliaries operate the city defense weapons on the city walls.
Ballistae and catapults counterattack.
Dark energy is fired by a magic weapon.
But suspended in mid-air, Lanton, who maintained the large portal, only waved his hand, and all the enchanted crossbow arrows, explosive bombs, and energy rays were easily blocked.
"Xiuxiu~!!"
The missiles equipped on the chariot flew quickly, and the large magic shield of the Phantom Shadow King City was suddenly dimmed, because blocking this wave of attack was consumed a lot of energy, and the low-level dark mages in the city were instilled with mana to maintain it.
The legendary, epic and other high-level combat power of the dark elves flew out, approaching the suspended Langton, but all disappeared in the spatial fluctuations!
Tens of thousands of temporarily mobilized slave armies poured into the chariot troops.
But the steel chariot is unstoppable!
Missiles take on large magic shields, and the main cannon and machine gun fire at a large number of goblins, kobolds, gray dwarves, and underground gnomes.
Their fragile flesh shattered suddenly.
The warrior of the war, the hidden assassin.
They can block bullets, but they can't block cannonballs, they can block cannonballs, and they can't stop energy weapon attacks.
Eventually, he collapsed in a pool of blood because of the charge.
Death is meaningless!
Seeing the heavy casualties, most of the drow elves who charged the royal city hesitated, not wanting to rush to their deaths in vain.
At this point, all the vehicles pass through the large portal.
Langton didn't have to stay in mid-air.
Another wave of his hand.
The narrow portal opened above the Phantom Shadow King, and the artillery of the expeditionary force in the rear began to provide fire support for the chariot troops, and the terrifying cannonball rain rained down, and the entire city was instantly engulfed in fire and gunsmoke.
Queen Maratia also had to intervene and instill power into the magic shield to protect her city and subjects.
Seeing this, Lanton stopped teleporting the spell and raised his hand a little.
"Boom ββββ"
The magic shield of the Phantom Shadow King City has finally shattered!
The power of the demigods, coupled with the large magic array and many middle and low-level dark mages, could not block Lanton's casual blow, Maratia had already determined that Lanton was really a god-level powerhouse, and in the face of the gods, she knew very well that she was not an opponent.
But as a demigod, as the queen of a country for thousands of years, she never thought of surrendering and begging for mercy.
The power of the condensation realm erupted violently.
Darkness emerged with the command of Malatia's hands, and the flares like small suns swallowed up most of the pitch-black sky in the blink of an eye.
But before her full force could be formed, Langton sneered and released the light.
The darkness dissipated in an instant!
The spell was interrupted, and Malatia was immediately attacked and vomited blood, and before she could react more, a white flame flew through the space.
"Ah~!!"
Screams of pain resounded through the Phantom Shadow King City in an instant.
On the city walls, many drow elven rangers, auxiliaries, and mages watched in horror as their queen was burned to ashes.
Lost.
They lost!
In the face of such a terrifying and powerful enemy, no drow elf was willing to continue fighting, and all of them fled in all directions for their lives.
When the walls were crushed by the cannons and missiles of the chariots, the Phantom Shadow King was completely destroyed.
The third kingdom of the Dark Elves in the underworld has fallen.
There was not a hint of suspense about their fiasco.
"Now it's only the Soul Claw Kingdom. β
"Rams, leave a group of people as usual, and the rest hurry to clear the city of the remnants of the enemy. β
With that, Lanton cast a portal spell again, causing the expeditionary force behind to quickly come over and occupy the Phantom Shadow King, and as the steel chariot drove unstoppably through the streets, the drow elves were already running away.
It didn't take much effort on the part of the expeditionary force to take over the place, and unlike the Heart of Darkness and the Poisonous Thorn, the battle here broke out suddenly, and the Drow Elves fled in a hurry.
The expeditionary force was given a large amount of supplies that were supposed to be transferred.
Not stopping.
After opening the portal for the mages to maintain, Lanton hurriedly left the Phantom Shadow King City and flew to the last kingdom of the Soul Claw.
A few days passed.
The news of the fall of the capital of the Poison Thorn Kingdom has spread to the Soul Claw Kingdom with the fleeing Drow Elves, so that Tessa Lenna, who sent troops to block various underground passages and arrange defenses, turned pale.
She knew that the expeditionary force was powerful, but she did not expect the two kingdoms to fall so quickly.
Next, there is only one kingdom left in the Soul Claw.
How do you resist those invaders?
Although the Heart of Darkness, the Poisonous Thorn, and the Phantom Shadow are only the fall of the royal city, the fall of the demigod queen, and the high-level combat power is not one in ten, there are still many remnants of soldiers in the three kingdoms who have escaped the butcher's knife.
If they can be gathered, they can still pull out hundreds of thousands of troops.
But.
Will the enemy give her this chance?
Apparently not......
"Has the messenger of our kingdom arrived in the kingdom of the dwarves?"
"Why hasn't there been any news yet?"
"Did Drow who went to the Dark Heart Seal release the Void Demon King?"
"Where's Malatia, why hasn't she come with the army and supplies of the Phantom Shadow Kingdom?"
Feeling Queen Tessalia's irritability, all the big lords, generals and ministers in the palace bowed their heads and remained silent, for fear of becoming the target of her anger, but the female prime minister with the legendary peak strength stood up.
He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I don't think the Shadow Queen Maratia will come, we should immediately block all underground passages. β
"Otherwise, we will be the next Heart of Darkness and the Stinger of Poison. β
"Block the underground passages?" Tessa Lena frowned, "You think that by doing this, those invaders will not be able to attack my kingdom?"
"Don't forget how the Heart of Darkness was destroyed!"
"Those intruders can come in from the ground!"
"Without the channel, we are the ones who suffer!"
"No, Your Majesty, the passage is blocked so that the Void creatures don't attack us. The excited queen, affected by the coercion, the female prime minister, who was unstable and unstable, hurriedly said: "We need to preserve our strength, not to fight the enemy head-on." β
"The Prime Minister is right!" "Your Majesty, we need to preserve our strength!" "......"
This is in everyone's interest, and it is very reasonable, and the ministers, lords, and generals in the palace have spoken up to echo it.
For such a passive beating, Tessa Lena is not happy with 10,000!
Available as a queen.
Ruled the Soul Claw for thousands of years.
She knew full well that her ministers, lords, and generals had grown into fear of the invaders, afraid to engage the enemy, and unwilling to suffer heavy losses.
More afraid of death!
Tell them to play intrigues, each of them can say a lot of methods, but the disparity in strength between the two sides is huge, the army and the city cannot stop the enemy's attack, and there is no time to calculate the enemy, and all the conspiracies cannot be carried out.
So incompetent and helpless, how can Tessa Lena not be angry?
"Wait one more day, and if there is no news of Malatia and the Phantom Shadow Kingdom, seal off all underground passages and wait for the Void to cause chaos in the underworld. β
The Dark Elves are very good at calculating.
But their plan couldn't be better.
There is no strength.
It's doomed to a tragic end!
That night, without waiting until the next morning, the Master Assassin sent an emergency military message from the Phantom Shadow Kingdom to the royal palace in the Soul Claw Capital.
"Your Majesty, the Phantom Queen Maratia has fallen, and the Phantom Shadow King City has fallen. β
"The invaders quickly sealed the borders of the Phantom Shadow Kingdom. β
"They're not going to be able to come......"
Hearing the news, Tessalena was even more angry at Maratia's incompetence, and also saddened by the fact that the demigods of the same rank had died so easily.
She is also a demigod, is it possible to survive if she faces those powerful enemies alone?
Swinging off the Master Assassin who had been on the road for a few days without rest in order to report the situation, Tessa Lena smashed everything in her room alone.
After calming down, he immediately ordered his subordinates to block the underground passage.
No.
She's not going to do an ordinary lockdown.
Instead, it completely blows up all the underground passages that can enter the Soul Claw Kingdom!
Includes access to the ground!
Even if the emissary succeeds in appealing to the dwarves and orcs for help, he does not want them to go underground and choose to retreat into his own kingdom.
Put all oneβs eggs in one basket!
However.
Surprises will always come out of nowhere, and plans will always fail to keep up with changes.
By the time Tessa Lena's order was passed to the border, allowing the army to blow up all the underground passages that had entered the Soul Claw Kingdom, Landon had already quietly entered this kingdom, and a large portal would solve the problem of the path.
When Tessa Lena got the news.
It's that she lost even the chance to escape!
"It's actually a space spell......
"Damn mage!"
Tessa Lena finally understood why the Poisonous Thorn and Phantom Shadow had fallen so quickly, with portals created by demigod-level spellcasters, their armies could cross thousands of miles with just one door, and even the march was spared!
But the unwilling Spirit Claw Queen still didn't give up.
Because.
Assassins are the nemesis of mages!
She's going to kill the demigod mage who created the portal, and then destroy the enemies that invade the realm!
An order went down.
Rams's steel chariot troops were finally on the way when they saw the Dark Elves driving the slave army to attack.
Then pave a path to death with flesh and blood stumps!
When Tessa Lena arrived with the main force assembled in the royal city, the cannon fire continued unstoppable, and the slave servant army that had been blocked one after another, as well as the drow elves, suffered more than 10,000 casualties, gritting their teeth and letting the mage cast auxiliary spells.
Once again, the Queen of the Claws launched a counter-charge.
Then he met Langton.
Let the last kingdom of the Dark Elves perish!
...... To be continued......
