Volume 6: Turmoil (Remastered) Chapter 56: Shadow Turmoil (17)

The flames on the Nabondel pillar gradually dimmed, and little by little they were overwhelmed by the shadows in the underground cavern, and the rolling flames were like old men in their last years, revealing a thick twilight. The drow elven mages who usually tended to the flames are long gone, perhaps killed on the shores of Lake East Niagardon, or perhaps they were carried by Gina Fey and fled to the stone platform where Mithril Castle was located.

The dim light provided some help to the drow soldiers in the city, but the rioters, already spurred on by the slaughter and wealth, quickly found a way to cope. They recklessly set fire to the dwellings in the city, and the drow soldiers had to retreat further in the flames.

At this moment, Mosso Black City has become a carnival paradise for players. They shuttled through the streets and alleys, scavenging the wealth that the Drow Elves had accumulated for nearly a hundred years, and even mercilessly raised their butcher knives against the drow elf civilians who were hiding in the cellar and shivering.

The hunters and the players' guild set their sights on the important buildings of Mosso Black City. There are now nearly 20,000 players in Mosso-Black City, and although some of them left the underground city through the teleportation array a few days ago, nearly 15,000 remained, and nearly half of them belonged to the Chasseurs and Guilds.

Their targets were the warehouses scattered around the outskirts of Mosso-Black City, as well as the lesser drow nobles who seemed to be wealthier. The former has a large cache of weapons and equipment, while the latter provides them with a large amount of gold and supplies. Although the average strength of the players has not yet broken through the third order, with the advantage brought by numbers, those small nobles with less than a few dozen numbers are no longer difficult enemies to deal with.

Amidst the wails and weepings of the drow elven civilians, the lord who was supposed to protect them was now hiding in the Mithril Castle shivering, watching with worry as the rock platform was locked in a stalemate.

Another group of drow warriors flew up grabbing the gargoyle's claws, and although a few were shot down by the bed crossbows placed on the walls of Mithril Castle on the way, most of them survived and immediately joined the battle on the platform after landing.

The harpy Salmado held a small scimitar, flapped her wings and flew up the city wall, and said to Ginafi with a worried face: "Master Mother, the soldiers are almost at the limit, and the platform is about to be lost!" ”

In fact, Gina Fey is not as stupid as Mareth thinks, since the defeat of Keris and the expulsion of him from Mouseor Black City, the new lord began to strengthen the defense of Mythril Castle, not only increased the weapons and supplies reserves, but even the bed crossbow This defensive weapon was placed all over the Mythril Castle and the rock wall platform at any cost, turning the entire Mythril Castle into a military fortress.

But the rise of the Devo family is still too hasty, and the lack of time makes Gina Fei unable to compare with an old family like the Ban Rui family.

On the one hand, in order to compete with other families for the interests of Mosso Black City, Gina Fei must maintain a relatively strong force by her side, and on the other hand, she has to minimize the loss of family power. As a result, the already modest Deaver family naturally fell into a stretched situation, which forced Ginafi to retain most of the civilians and soldiers who served in Mithril Castle.

But she didn't expect Carres to make a comeback so soon, and she didn't hesitate to unite with the Koman family. The moment she learned that Angeste Dillet had disobeyed her orders and led the family guards to attack the Kidal family's mansion, Gina Fey knew that she could no longer stay in the city, so she did not hesitate to abandon the Dilley family and shrink all the power of the Differ family to Mithril Castle, intending to use this impregnable fortress against the menacing Banray family.

However, what she didn't expect was that when she came to Mithril Castle, she found that the materials stored in the castle had been destroyed, and even many heavy weapons such as bed crossbows had also been destroyed. Although Gina Fey had expected that there were spies of the Banray family among the civilians and soldiers in Mithril Castle, what she didn't expect was that Kerrys, after leaving Mosso Black City for several years, still had so much influence that those spies would serve her willingly.

It was precisely because many of the weapons used for defense were destroyed that Kareth was able to transport his troops to the platform through gargoyles with impunity, otherwise, the gargoyles supported by Elvia alone would have been lost in a few times.

Seeing that the soldiers used to defend the platform continued to die, Gina Fei had no choice but to send a group of soldiers from Mithril Castle to reinforce them. In terms of strength, the soldiers cultivated by the Deaver family themselves surpassed those soldiers by a lot in terms of combat effectiveness and loyalty, but she didn't dare to let these loyal family guards leave her.

"Are the harpies still refusing to join this war?" The addition of hundreds of Mithril Castle guards brought the battle situation on the platform to a stalemate once again, and Gina Fei turned her head and said angrily to Salmadot, "What are they waiting for? Isn't the terms I giving generous enough? Or do they want to return to the arms of the Banrui family? Don't forget, when Kareth was expelled, they had their share in the first place! ”

If the Minotaurs and Cavemen were the lowliest slaves in Mosso Black, then the Harpy was second only to the Drow Elves and more noble than any other race in the Underworld. This is partly due to the fact that Harpys generally have a higher IQ and a higher chance of mastering Shadow Power, and on the other hand, it is also due to Harpy's habits. These half-human, half-bird creatures are of the same kind as the harpies on the surface, and like to build their nests high up. It was because the Drow Elves were unable to manage the Harpy in the same way that the Minotaurs and Cavemen did that these creatures were able to have more freedom and higher status.

Gina Fee had always wanted the Harpys to join the war between the Dever family and the Banry family, and there were at least thousands, if not tens of thousands, of Harpies living on the top walls of Mosso Black City, and at least half of them were able to use low-level shadow spells such as Shadow Arrows. Think about it, if in the middle of a battle, thousands of shadow arrows suddenly fall from the sky, it will be a disaster for the Ban Rui family.

To this end, Gina Fey even promised the harpys more autonomy after defeating Kelis through Salmadot, but even so, Salmadot was unable to convince the harpyes to join the war with an uncertain future.

"Mistress, I'm sorry! But most of the Harpies don't want to obey my orders these days, and they believe in Jamina's traitor! Salmado said helplessly.

Speaking of which, the responsibility for all this still has to be attributed to Gina Fi. A few years ago, in order to defeat Kerryth, Gina Fey promised the Harpy many benefits, including conditions such as placing the skies of Mossor Black City under the Harpy's management. However, with the defeat of Kerrys, Gina Fey became the lord as she wished, and in order to strengthen the Deaver family as soon as possible, Ginafi ignored the Harpy's urging to fulfill their promises, and still used them as slaves and cannon fodder.

This also made Salmadot considered a traitor by the Harpy, as she persuaded the Harpy to side with Genefi and join forces to defeat Jarrese Banry.

Now, the bitter fruit is back in Ginafi's hands, and she has to grit her teeth and eat it.

"The Shadow Council!" Gina Fei gritted her teeth and said, of course she knew that Jamina, the minion of the Shadow Council, because it was in the battle with Salmado that she lost the battle for the leadership of Salmado, and the heroic Harpy chose to join the Shadow Council, hoping to trample Salmado under her feet one day.

A drow elf ran up the wall and said to Gina Fi, "Mistress, Keris Banry has repaired a magic elevator, and the enemy is transporting more troops through the magic elevator!" ”

At this moment, Gina Fei knew that the platform could no longer be defended, and she said to Salmado: "I will give you two hundred people, you must find a way to destroy that magic elevator!" ”

"Master, the source of the magic elevator is the core magic circle of Mithril Castle, and unless you turn it off, you can't destroy that thing at all! At the beginning, it was just a part of the magic array nodes of the two magic elevators, but now that Kaires has obviously repaired it, it is impossible to destroy it again! ”

Gina Fei took a step back and said indignantly, "Is there really no way to stop it?" ”

Salmadot looked at the platform outside the city wall, and another group of gargoyles flew up with the soldiers of the Banrui family, she sighed and said, "Master, the platform can't be defended!" Our strength cannot continue to be depleted like this! The best way now is to evacuate everyone to Mithril Castle and use the power of this castle to resist the attack of the Banrui family! ”

If the defensive weapons and facilities originally arranged on the platform by Gina Fei were still intact, Salmadot would have been sure to block the enemy under the rock wall, but now this is obviously impossible, and if he continues to fight with the enemy on the platform, he will undoubtedly fall into the most unfavorable war of attrition, and the Devo family does not have this capital to fight with the Banrui family! What's more, there is also a Koman family on the side.

"Alright! You're right! Do as you say, and let them withdraw! Gina Fei also knew that what Salmadot said was the truth, and it was precisely because Keris wanted to fight with the Deaver family that he transported batches of soldiers at such a cost, otherwise, as long as Jarreth personally took the lead in attacking the rock wall platform, those soldiers who did not exceed the sixth rank would have collapsed long ago.

Kareth didn't want Gina Fey to retract most of her forces and rely on Mythril Castle for defense, which would skyrocket her losses. And Gina Fey is actually reluctant to do this, because Mythril Castle is almost a Jedi for the Dever family, once retreating into the castle, it means completely losing control of Mosso Black City, and when the time comes, as long as Kelis surrounds Mythril Castle, even if she doesn't attack, she can regain control of the entire Mossoblack City!

But the harsh reality forced her to do so. Soon, Salmadot gathered most of the soldiers guarding the platform, completely destroyed the heavy weapons on the platform, and withdrew to the Mithril Keep.

"Master, we've captured the entire platform! That coward of Gina Fey has pulled all his men back and prepared to defend Mythril Castle! Soon, the battle situation on the rock wall platform reached the ears of Kerrys, and the master mother of the Banrui family smiled and waved her hand, and the elite soldiers of the Banrui family standing behind her immediately stepped onto the magic elevator in an orderly manner.

"It's a pity that only one was repaired, and the other one lacks enough parts, I'm afraid it won't be used until the end of this war!" Daherne said regretfully.

"Enough! There are less than a hundred gargoyles left, and from now on, there is no need to reduce the weight to avoid the bed crossbow, and at least two hundred people can be transported in one trip! Kerry said nonchalantly, "You go up with the next batch and completely block Gina Fei's contact with the outside world!" ”

"Don't you need to leave some people behind? The riots in the city seem to be getting worse, and the ...... of House Koman," Dahni said worriedly.

Kareth didn't know what Dahney meant, but compared to Dahni's foresight, the former Banrui family's mother, the original lord of Mosso Black City, was obviously more courageous: "Don't care! As long as the god Rose still exists, Mosso Black City can be rebuilt even if it is destroyed! As for Elvia, hmph, unless the Ban Rui family shows its decline, that woman will never betray me at this time! So I have to kill that slut of Gina Fei as fast as I can! ”

Dahni nodded, Keris is right, as long as the Banry family is still strong, no one can threaten them, not even Elvia, a legendary powerhouse!

Groups of soldiers were transported to the platform through magic elevators and gargoyles, including some shadow cavalry and drow elven magicians, and you can see from the equipment on their bodies that most of these elites were originally members of the Drow Sons and Shadow Spirit troops.

And Gina Fei didn't know anything about all this, at this time, all the soldiers in Mithril Castle combined were less than a thousand, and she had to face nearly 3,000 enemies, if Gina Fei knew, I am afraid that she would immediately choose to flee instead of following Salmado's advice and choosing to defend Mithril Castle.
