Chapter 597: The Countermeasure
In this way, everyone chatted for a while, Li Ran saw that the time was not early, smiled and said to Tang Shi and Shadow Blade and the others: "Okay, the time is not early, our group of people will go down to rest first, you will divide people to take over Lord Dorik to supervise the building, and the others will do it according to their respective tasks."
With the departure of Li Ran, Xia Houben and others, the other teammates also left the room one after another.
And at this moment, in the dark castle more than a hundred kilometers away from their stronghold, the leader of the dark sorceresses, who had been defeated again, was being severely scolded in a huge, almost luxuriously decorated room.
The object of scolding her is also a female dark elf, judging from her appearance, she should have reached middle age, her body is draped in a floor-mopping robe, and the golden silk sewn robe is inlaid with many top-level magic crystals around the week, among which the magic crystals in the key parts are flashing with an abnormal dark red light, and when you get closer, they are all super-level or even legendary-level magic crystals.
However, this robe, which would definitely attract an uproar when put outside, was draped on her body very casually as a nightgown at this time, and her fingers were facing the defeated general who still had an unwilling face.
"Stupid thing, tell me how many times you've failed in a row, and I don't know that the Mother of Darkness has taken a fancy to you, and even made you comprehend the mutant war skill, otherwise I would have thrown you to the spider god for food last time I came back," the nightgown-clad dark warlock scolded.
Hearing this person's scolding, the half-kneeling dark sorceress said unconvinced: "Dear Queen Nazr, I said before you let me go on the expedition, and the other party's three strongholds are now on the horns. They can help each other, but my less than 4,000 troops are not enough to win a full victory. Are you obstinate, and now you want to put all the blame on me?"
Seeing that she dared to refute herself at this time. This dark queen, who has always been known for her cruelty, couldn't help but be furious in her heart, if this was put on someone else, she would have been dragged to feed the spider demon, but this guy in front of her has comprehended the advanced war skills that she has not been able to comprehend, although it is only a rudimentary, but they who worship the dark god believe that this kind of person is the lucky one who is favored by the god, so no matter how bold she is, she does not dare to blatantly kill this dark warlock named Lydia.
But making a stumbling block for her in private was something the Queen of Darkness was more than happy to do, and it would be best if she could die in battle because of it, saving so many of her own children. And always worry that this guy will take his place in the future.
At this time, the dark queen shouted and said: "You fought the last defeat, and this defeat is still your own, can this still blame me, don't think that being looked at by the gods is amazing, I tell you!" There is no such thing as defeat in the blood of our dark people, and I will give you another chance, and if you are defeated again, you will clean up the spider demons of our people for the rest of your life, and I hope that you will receive God's attention again through your intimate relationship with them."
Glancing up at the Dark Queen City Lord. The dark sorceress named Lydia knew the Queen's suspicion of her, and as a dark elf, she knew her danger and strengths.
A city lord who is not favored by the gods will never allow a competitor in the city who is concerned by the gods, which is her greatest danger. It is also destined that it is absolutely impossible for her to live in peace with this queen. But at the same time, a leader favored by the gods is also the target of many dark people's allegiance, so she also took advantage of it to attract some people and warriors in the city to her use. And through the past few years of conquest, the number of soldiers loyal to her has gradually reached nearly 5,000.
Although his 5,000-strong army was much worse than a city lord with an army of 30,000. But she believed that as long as the Queen of Darkness did not dare to kill herself openly, her troops would quickly increase through conquest. And as the number of her subordinates increases, the people around the Dark Queen will eventually move closer to her, until she finally overthrows the Dark Queen's rule and becomes the new city lord.
But just as the number of her subordinates was just over 5,000, and she was about to expand her number again by destroying one of the enemy's strongholds, she was attacked from behind at the last moment, which not only ruined her brilliant achievements, but also allowed her to join thousands of troops.
So after she came back, she used all her strength to try to be ashamed of her and sweep away the stronghold occupied by the guy who attacked her, but she didn't expect that in the end, she still failed, and let herself suffer the first consecutive defeat in her life, and her strength was sharply reduced to less than 3,000.
At this time, listening to the threat from the city lord, and thinking of the disappointed eyes cast at her by his subordinates on the way back, she knew that her chances were running out, so she borrowed more than 5,000 troops from the city lord in a bargaining voice that she had once disdained.
Looking at the departing Lydia, the Dark Queen City Lord suddenly waved his hand, only to see a black shadow flash, and a harpy suddenly flew in from the huge floor-to-ceiling window, landed in front of her and knelt on the ground.
"Honorable Queen, do you have any orders?" The man asked, bowing his head.
Glancing at her harpy leader, the dark queen named Nazr said: "After Lydia sets out on the expedition, you personally lead people to keep an eye on her, if she wins, when she comes back and passes through the Shadow Mountain, you will lure those filthy dark spellcasters over, if she is defeated, you show her to me, I must not let her escape, I will capture her back and feed the spider demon"
As a confidant, the Harpy Commander instantly understood what the city lord meant, and after seeing the city lord's instructions, he flicked his wings and flew out from the windowsill.
However, just as the queen, who was immersed in the excitement of her plan, summoned a few male servants, the departed Harpy Commander soon flew down into a nondescript side street, looked left and right, and suddenly scurried into a small room.
Seeing a man standing in this dimly lit room, the Harpy Commander bowed and walked forward, telling him all the instructions the Queen of Darkness had just given him.
"As I expected, I suspect that in addition to you, these troops must have been arranged by her" When this person shook the staff in his hand, Lydia's face was revealed in the darkness, but at this time, her face was no longer disobedient and stubborn, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.
To be able to develop from a powerless dark warlock to the present, although with the favor of God, her methods are by no means as simple as they seem, the Harpy Commander in front of her is one of her secrets, and it is also a powerful subordinate that she has spent a long time subduing, and her Harpy army has more than 5,000 people, ready to fight for her.
