Chapter 364: Can These Elves Be Resurrected?
"The Dark Alliance is retreating too quickly."
Looking at the still terrifying number of troops outside the city walls, Firebeard muttered.
As a Dark Dwarf who has fought many wars, Flamebeard knows much more about the Dark City-State Alliance than anyone else.
Fallen undead are a common vanguard force of the Dark City-State Alliance, and generally speaking, it is impossible for the opponent to retreat without defeating the target, or without exhausting the prepared undead army.
But now, the other side has only lost half of the undead army, but has stopped the siege of the Blade City.
This is not normal.
When this happens, there is only one meaning, that is, the victory of the other side in this war is inevitable.
Therefore...... After discovering that the City of Blades was stronger than expected, and that there was no hope of its destruction, the Dark Alliance's armies retreated.
This kind of retreat is not to give up the attack, but like a wolf that has bitten the target, lurking in the darkness again, conserving physical strength, preparing for better opportunities, in order to achieve a fatal blow......
However, this also shows that the other party has realized the power of the Blade City.
Looking at the retreating army of the undead, Firebeard sighed:
"It seems...... This war is really going to be fought for a long time......"
"I don't know when my lord will be able to take control of the authority that belongs to him and make these betrayers pay a terrible price......"
The army of the undead attacked the city of the Grim Reaper as the besiegers......
Although the other party is a fallen undead who has escaped from the control of the god of death under the influence of shadow power and abyss power, there is nothing more embarrassing than this kind of thing.
However...... This is the reality of the Church of the Dead in the Underworld.
Compared to the god of darkness and shadows, who had already begun to lay out in the underground world as early as 10,000 years ago, Hela, the god of death, had too little influence in the underground world.
He may be a higher person than Holdel, the god of darkness and shadow, but being high does not mean that he can suppress the other in all directions.
The underworld has long been Holdel's home turf, and it is remarkable that the Church of the Grim Reaper can tear a gap under the nose of the other party and build an alliance of city-states that can compete with it.
The power of faith is weak, and even the most powerful true God can easily overturn in the worldly struggle.
Not to mention, this is still an underground world full of dark power, infiltrated by Holdel, and closer to the abyss!
Of course, what Firebeard didn't know was that the side of the Dark Alliance at this moment was also shocked by the power displayed by Blade City.
And among them, it seems to have suddenly appeared, the combat power is fierce, and the elves who completely disregard life and death, and at the same time seem to have a strange power in their bodies, which can absorb the soul fire of the undead, and then completely crush the elves of the undead army to replenish their abilities...... is the key to making the Dark Alliance choose to retreat.
At the top of the Dark Alliance, someone has already begun to investigate the strange elves that appeared on the battlefield this time.
In the rear of the Dark Alliance's army, in a makeshift camp.
A humanoid monster with a lilac body in a black cloak was standing in front of a flaming black flame, chanting something.
His head looked like that of a large octopus, with four wriggling tentacles growing near his mouth, long dragging to his chest, and a faint layer of reflective transparent mucus could be seen.
It's a soul-sucking monster.
Like the Dark Dwarves and Underground Gnomes, the Psicoccon are also a sapient population of the Underworld.
They are natural spellcasters, good at spiritual and soul spells, most of them believe in Holdel, the god of darkness and shadows, and the one in front of them is the lord of a dungeon state called Orindor in the alliance of dark city-states, a bloodline warlock of golden median strength.
Orindor is an underground city-state not far from the City of the Blades, and has been trading with the City of the Blades for many years, and the two city-states are considered historical rivals.
This time, the troops besieging the city of Blades were also led by the dungeon lord who had been subjugated by the Lich King Perone.
Of course, with the strength of the city-state of Orindor on a normal day, it is impossible to gather such a powerful army.
These are all the armies that the Lich King Pelone has gathered from the nearby city-states through centralized means after he integrated the strength of the Dark Alliance......
At this moment, the lord of the city-state of Orindor stood in the middle of the camp, chanting an obscure incantation.
As he chanted, the black flame floating in front of him quickly swelled, eventually turning into an eye made of deep flames.
There was a palpitating coercion in those eyes, so that the lord of Orindor couldn't help but lower his proud head and say with a little respect:
"Lord of the Great Moso City, Lord of the Lich, your faithful subordinates have something important to report......"
"Our siege of the City of the Blades has suffered a setback, and the City of the Blades has enlisted the support of the elves, who are very strange and numerous, and whose weapons seem to have been blessed by the true gods of the earth, and they are very damaging to the undead......"
"We have sent investigators to get a preliminary understanding of the origin of these elves, they came from the earth, and they seem to believe in a strange deity named Eve......"
"I doubt it...... This war has already given rise to the ideas of other great beings......"
The commander of the coalition told everything he knew.
And listening to his words, the eyes composed of flames flickered slightly, and a majestic and heavy voice rang out:
"I already know it."
"I will inform my lord of this matter, and ask him to decide."
"The forces of the Silent Alliance have always been scattered and not united, now that the City of Blades has sought reinforcements, then you should withdraw your troops and go north to support Shanatar ......"
Shanatar is another underground city-state affiliated with the Silent Alliance, and is also the first target of the Dark City-State's attack.
However, before that, Blade City was the main attack, and Shanatar was the secondary attack.
Shanatar is close to the other Silent Alliance city-states, which is convenient for support, so there is not much pressure.
"I see."
The lord of Orindor bent deeply as a sign of respect.
……
The Dark Alliance has retreated!
When the army besieging Blade City finally retreated, the entire Blade City was greeted with festive cheers.
Once again, the merchants dared to trade with the dwarves and gnomes, and commerce throughout the city of the Blades was once again in motion.
Brin also let out a long sigh of relief.
Finally don't have to go bankrupt!
However, although he breathed a sigh of relief in his chest, his heart was still vigilant.
Unlike the populace, Divine Favorite's Firebeard had already told him his concerns, knowing that the war was far from over, and that the Dark Alliance had given up on attacking the City of Blades for the time being.
And just when he was thinking about how to arrange the city defense problem next, he suddenly ushered in a news that shocked him, and instantly realized a series of things that had happened recently-
"What? You said...... All of these elves who support us have the ability to be immortal? When they die, they will be resurrected in the earthly world?! ”
