No one expected that Shanatar, which was well-supplied and well-defended, would be breached.

In fact, this underground city was not forcibly attacked from the outside by the forces of the Dark Alliance, but fell from the inside.

No one expected that the grandson of the current chief, the diplomat of the dungeon, Doruru, would collude with the forces of the Dark Alliance.

While the chief on the sickbed was asleep, he stole the permission key to the dungeon core held by the other party, thus bypassing the defensive magic barrier of the city-state of Shanatar and privately establishing a teleportation circle connecting the outside of the city and the inside of the city......

So, without anyone reacting, a large number of undead suddenly appeared in the city.

They destroyed the teleportation circles in the city-state and destroyed the statue of the god of death in the Temple of Death.

The Death Idol is the core that provides a source of power for the Defensive Divine Technique, and as soon as the Idol is destroyed, the entire Defensive Divine Technique of Shanatar collapses.

The teleportation circle was destroyed, and the supporting elves could no longer teleport to support......

As a result, the entire city's defenders and elven troops were immediately left in a helpless situation.

As a result, the dark army, which had been prepared outside the city for a long time, joined forces with the inner and outer forces in the city and the raiding troops, and easily opened the gates of the city that had not been breached for several months.

The siege that should have been vigorous did not take place, and the Dark Alliance side soon occupied the walls of Shanatar, while the original defenders were left with corpses in the middle of the attack and retreated into the city with great difficulty.

The war quickly turned into a brutal street battle, with fierce battles fought between the city's defenders and the Dark Alliance forces that invaded the city.

However, the Dark Alliance's armies had long been well prepared.

They have gathered a full 150,000 army of the undead and 80,000 ordinary troops, which can be called the strongest force in the Western Underworld.

In comparison, the strength of Shanatar's Silent Alliance army was too weak.

The total number of defenders of the city-state was less than 20,000, and even the number of elves who remained in the city was limited, less than 3,000 in total.

In the midst of the Dark Alliance's onslaught, the army of the Dark Dwarves and Underground Gnomes suffered heavy losses, the elves were killed, and the streets of the entire city were stained red with blood.

And the remaining strength of the Silent Alliance side was also forced step by step by the other party into the deepest mine of the city, and it was difficult to support it with some strong fortifications......

In less than two days, the forces of the Dark Alliance had taken over most of Sanatal, leaving only a few of the mines deep in the city to be overrun by the Dark Dwarves, Underground Gnomes, and Elven mercenaries who had retreated into it.

It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it's short of supplies, and as long as the Dark Alliance keeps them there, they have only two options: surrender or starve to death......

It can be said that by this time, the Dark Alliance had de facto occupied the entire Shanatar.

The original city's inhabitants were forcibly confined to their homes, the rebels were slaughtered, and the chief Katla was killed by the betrayer Doruru, who was appointed the new chief by the Dark City-State Alliance, and declared the Church of Darkness and Shadow to be the new official faith of the city-state.

At the same time, the army of the Dark Alliance also connected the idol of the Lord of Darkness and Shadow, which had been prepared for a long time, into the original Temple of Death, once again activating the city's defensive divine barrier.

Only this time, the target that the Divine Defense Barrier was dealing with had been reversed.

At this point, Shanatar was declared to have fallen.

When the news spread throughout the alliance of the city-states, the city-states were in an uproar.

No one expected that Shanatar would fall so suddenly......

And after the uproar, there was soon panic.

Doruru of the city-state of Sanatar betrayed, and his betrayal led directly to the fall of the city, then...... Are other cities, like this one, already infiltrated by the forces of the Dark Alliance?

In addition, Shanatar and Blade City are both the gateways to the Dark City-State Alliance, and their geographical location is too sensitive.

Judging from the map of the western part of the Underground World, the overall topography of the western underground area resembles a gourd with its head facing north.

The mouth of the gourd is the gateway to the deep rift, and the Silent City-State Alliance occupies the upper part of the gourd, while the Dark City-State Alliance occupies the lower half, and the two dungeon-states are located right in the center of the gourd, which is also the entrance to the second level of the dark area......

In this case, the defensive battle between Shanatar and the City of Blades is the key to the entire war, and the battle situation here can even determine the direction of the entire underground world war, and the decisive battle will most likely take place here.

If the defense is good, as long as it is consumed, the victory in the secular war will definitely belong to the Silent Alliance.

However, if any of the city-states were breached, it would cause the portal of the Silent City-States Alliance to be opened, and the Dark Alliance's armies would be able to drive straight in, and the situation would be ruined in an instant......

Now, however, a city-state has been breached!

In a sense, it can be said that the side of the Dark Alliance has already won a decisive victory in this war.

After all, judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, perhaps if defending a single city, the Silent Alliance can rely on the support of the elves to hold on, but when multiple city-states are attacked at the same time, it will be dangerous.

Not every city-state had tens of thousands of defenders like these two cities, and many of the underground cities of the Silent City-State Alliance had less than 10,000 troops.

Of course, this is also because the Dark Alliance has a special method that can corrupt the normal undead, so that the Silent Alliance cannot also use the undead army in the war with the Dark Alliance.

In this case, the army of the Dark Alliance can easily besiege at least five or more underground cities at the same time by virtue of its numerical superiority, and there is a high probability that it can be easily breached.

It is worth mentioning that, considering the cost of building an ultra-teleportation circle, although the Silent Alliance decided to set up ultra-teleportation arrays in various cities when seeking support, this is not the case.

The reality is that only the two cities of Blade and Shanatar are critically located, and the already surplus city has chosen to establish an ultra-long-range teleportation array connecting to Black Rock City.

Although the other Silent Alliance cities are closer to Huluzui, the closer they are to Black Rock City, the lower the cost of establishing an ultra-long-range teleportation array and maintaining the operation of the magic circle...... But the more remote they are, the poorer they become, even if the cost is low, they can't afford it at all, at most they just establish an ordinary teleportation array between each other.

Of course, this is also because the Silent Alliance is at most a loose alliance of city-states, and it is impossible to allocate and use the resources of each city-state effectively.

In this case, it is difficult for even players to provide effective support.

Of course, theoretically, players could teleport to two key city-states and then to the other city-states via a normal teleportation array.

However, the crux of the matter is also here.

It is true that the City of Blades and Shanatar also have teleportation circles that connect to other dungeons, but this kind of teleportation array is concentrated in the Shanatar city-state, and the City of Blades only has a teleportation circle that connects to Sanatar City.

As a result, once the city-state of Shanatar was breached, the city of the Blades was cut off from the other city-states of the Silent Alliance.

And the reason why the Silent Alliance established a teleportation array like this is because although both city-states are in critical locations, compared to the Blade City, which is closer to the Dark City-State Alliance's sphere of influence, there are enemies on three sides, and it is too risky to build a large-scale teleportation array to connect other city-states here......

After all, in everyone's estimates, if one of the two cities must be breached, it will definitely be the City of the Blade, and if a teleportation array is established to support, it is enough to have the city-state of Shanatar.

As a result, who knows, it was Shanatar who was attacked first.

Having said all that, in fact, to sum it up, it is one thing.

That is the loss of Shanatar, which has strategically declared the defeat of the Silent Alliance, and if you want to win this war, you can't rely on worldly power alone.
