Chapter 361: Regretful Brin
In the case of high-end combat power, and the mid-to-low-end forces are evenly matched, the war in the underground world will generally last for a long time.
Perhaps until the Allies come to their aid, the possibility that the Silent Castle Alliance will succeed in defending the City of Blades is still up for debate.
However, after the players joined the war as a new force, the balance of war, which had been clearly tilted in favor of the Dark Alliance, quickly returned to balance.
Of course, the overall strength of the players is not high, and there is not a single strong player above the silver, which is not enough to completely turn the tide of the battle......
But now, when the magic of Seggs has just begun to recover, and the main army of each race is still in the black iron rank, it is more than enough for players to withstand the pressure of the frontal battlefield as the bottom army.
At least...... So far.
Thus, a long tug-of-war began on the walls of the City of Blades.
The Dark Alliance doesn't know how many years of surviving undead soldiers it has accumulated, rushing towards the City of Blades in waves, in a vain attempt to consume the opponent's strength step by step.
Melee combat is always the most powerful tool for the undead.
And when you look at it from the mid-air of the underground cavern, you will see a shocking picture......
The undead surrounded the city of blades with its glittering defensive magic like a tidal wave, and they marched in order, charging beneath the majestic walls at the command of the Death Knights.
The cold dead then climbed up the walls like ants along the ladders they had erected, and engaged the defenders on the walls.
On the city walls, the crowd was clearly divided into two parts.
one, the legion of the undead who ascended the ladder to the city wall; The other is a strange alliance of elves, dark dwarves, and underground gnomes.
They fought on the walls, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Swords and swords, arrows fly.
Angry shouts, loud laughter, screams, and the sound of broken skeletons mingled...... It's chaotic and at the same time, there's a wonderful balance.
Neither side was able to completely drive the other off the wall, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
From time to time, the spirits of the undead were pushed off the walls, and from time to time, the defenders fell beyond the walls......
Of course, if you look closely, you will see that most of the defenders who have fallen beyond the walls are support elves......
These warriors who came to support from the underworld have completely replaced the soldiers of the Silent Alliance and become the main force in the defensive battle.
Maybe...... They are not as numerous as dwarves and underground gnomes, but they tend to be the first to rush.
Of course, it also has the highest percentage of war deaths.
The walls were already filled with dry bones, the remains of destroyed undead soldiers.
These bones have long since lost their life, so a great being has only used the power hidden in the elves to absorb the fire of the undead souls, and has not bothered with these broken bone shelves.
It's that some elves who don't know what to think have collected a lot, and while collecting, they are muttering that they are all good materials and the like......
And as the war continued, the defenders on the side of the Silent Alliance also admired these elven allies who participated in the war more and more.
The underground world is very chaotic, and in chaotic places, only the strong will be respected.
Perhaps the strength of these elves individually is not high, but the unity they show as a whole, the kind of greatness that they are not afraid of sacrifice and bravery, and even willing to give their lives to destroy the enemy...... All of them shocked these underground residents!
Don't provoke these strange elves easily in the future, it's far better to be their friend than to be an enemy......
After seeing the madness of these elves, this idea has become the consensus of the city defenders.
However, what surprised the defenders of the Silent Alliance the most, from surprise to shock, shock to horror, and finally from horror to numbness, no matter how many of these elves died, it would not be long before a new person would make up for it.
These mysterious reinforcements from the ground seem to be endless, like cockroaches in the underground world......
And that's not all...... Their numbers continue to increase over time.
However, the elves who supported later were generally not strong, and they obviously lacked actual combat experience, so they looked like some chicks.
But even so, like their predecessors of the same clan, they shouted excitedly and screamed, and rushed into the battlefield......
Of course, the percentage of their deaths is even higher.
And in this strange situation, the soldiers of the Silent Alliance gradually find themselves isolated to the brink of war.
In addition to playing for the elves, they have almost become spectators of war......
Such a war lasted three days and three nights.
And Brin, the chief of the city of blades, who promised the elves a reward, was also painful and happy as the war continued.
Happy because with the support of the elves, the city of blades can obviously be defended.
Painfully, he found that he seemed to have a small promise at the price......
"Tucker, are the statistics out?"
Brin asked expressionlessly as he stood near the teleportation circle, looking at the underground gnomes who were in charge of counting the payments.
And the underground dwarf who was holding a thick pile of books wiped the sweat on his head and said:
"Chief Lord...... The statistics have come out, since the armor and weapons in our inventory have been issued, there are still many elves who have joined the war and asked for payment with equipment, and in the past three days, we owe a total of 13,184 sets of black iron equipment......"
Brin:......
Hearing this exaggerated number, the chief of the Blade City felt a little dizzy in front of his eyes......
He took a deep breath, calmed his mood for a moment, and asked in a trembling voice:
"That'...... What about the gold pound? ”
The underground gnome in charge of the statistics swallowed.
He hesitated, then said with difficulty:
"A well-made black iron equipment can be substituted for three hundred pounds of gold, and for three days...... We paid a total of 18,580,000 pounds in gold......"
Brin:......
Hearing this number, the young chief felt a sweet throat and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood......
Although he had witnessed the elves coming like a tide in the past few days, and even he had gradually turned from shock to numbness, he still felt a pain in his heart when he heard this number.
Eighteen million pounds of gold!
That's eighteen million pounds of gold!
The annual revenue of the City of Blades is only three million pounds!
All of a sudden, the savings of the whole six years were lost in just three days!
Of course, behind this number, the number of support elves represented is also terrifying......
If you convert it, plus the first batch of 8,000 sets of equipment, the elves actually dispatched a total of nearly 80,000 people!
And now, the number of elves fighting on the city wall is roughly about 15,000, that is, 65,000 people have died in battle.
They didn't even leave a corpse......
Where did this come from, so many deadly elves?
It's impossible to find out so much if you turn the entire world of Saighs upside down, right?!
Brin's mind was full of doubts.
However...... All this is true.
At this moment, Brin almost wanted to travel back to three days ago and beat himself to death that he had easily made a promise......
Regret......
What a regret!
Such a large amount of wealth, even if it is a rich blade city, it will be painful to take it out at once.
