Volume 6: Turmoil (Remastered) Chapter 57: Shadow Turmoil (18)
"Shoot! Shoot! Don't stop! The captain of the guard, who was also a city wall garrison, shouted hoarsely as he led people around to put out fires.
The walls of Mithril Castle are not very tall, and this is not a military stronghold, but with the reinforcement of dozens of lords, it now has sufficient defensive capabilities, especially the city-level magic shield, which is enough to offset the magicians in the hands of Keris.
Combined with the bed crossbows and small catapults arranged on the city walls, Kareth launched two attacks in succession, but to no avail, but instead paid hundreds of casualties, while the defenders lost less than ten men, plus a bed crossbow that was on the verge of being scrapped.
"Go on the offensive! Send the Mother Guard on board, too! Dahni, you personally lead the team! "Kareth is also ruthless, for the drow elves, the main mother guard is the most elite force of every family, only those who are extremely loyal to the family, have been tested many times, and the strength of the family direct members can become a member of the master mother guard.
In terms of strength, the main mother guard has at least sixth-order combat power, coupled with the long-term cooperation and training between each other, it can be called the last killer weapon of each family, and it will never be used unless it is absolutely necessary.
Looking at Keris's bloodshot and crazy eyes, Dahni didn't dare to give an opinion at all, so she could only obediently lead people to the front of the array and launch an attack on the city wall again!
"Masterdam, if we continue like this, even if we capture the city wall, our losses will be more than half!" The captain of the guard stayed with the last few elites by Kerryth's side, and she said with a worried face, "So far, we have not found the main force of the Koman family, and it is impossible for that woman of Elvia to stay in Kodila City at such a time!" β
"Of course I do!" Keris snorted coldly and said, "It's almost time!" β
As if echoing Kerris's words, the moment Daheni approached the city wall with the soldiers, the magic barrier suddenly flickered a few times in a row, and then suddenly shattered!
"Traitor! Salmadot, go find the traitor! The enraged Gina Fei immediately thought of the consequences of all this, without the protection of the magic barrier, those magicians would be able to unscrupulously carry out sweeping blows on the city walls, or in a few minutes, those powerful siege engines would be a pair of scrap metal, and the walls would no longer provide them with sufficient defenses.
"But, Mistress, the walls ......"
"I'm staying! You must restore the magic supply of the magic barrier as soon as possible! β
Gina Fei could only choose to stay and supervise the battle by herself, if she went to find that traitor, God knows if those soldiers guarding the city wall still had the courage to persevere, maybe they would completely collapse in the next second. There aren't too many things on the battlefield that cause the boss to collapse because of the sudden disappearance of the manager.
"The barrier is gone! Warriors of the family, rush forward! Whoever can kill that slut in Gina Fei will be rewarded by the Mistress! "Daherne promised the soldiers a big reward for the first time, and took the lead to climb to the wall, this is the opportunity to beat the water dogs, whether it can succeed or not, just fight here!
In the whistling sound, one by one magic crossed the heads of the soldiers and smashed on the city wall, and there were constantly bed crossbows or catapults scrapped because they took too much magic damage, even if there were no scrapped ones, no one dared to go up to operate, at this time, those siege machines were simply the magnets of death, and it was useless for anyone to go!
The city wall immediately fell into the most brutal fighting, and Gina Fei also led the main mother guard to meet it.
There are constantly soldiers of the Banrui family wailing and dying, and there are also some guards of Mithril Castle, although they have lost the magic barrier, and the powerful siege equipment is temporarily unusable, but the defenders have a condescending advantage after all, and Dahni still can't break the barrier of the wall for a while.
As the most powerful existence in the underground world, the reason why the drow elves can crush other underground races is because of the huge number of slaves in their hands. If you look at the drow elves themselves, they are actually not very powerful existences, and they are not even comparable to orcs.
Due to the unique matriarchal social system and suspicious and suspicious nature, it is difficult for the men among the drow elves to be systematically cultivated and trained, and it is difficult to improve their strength, and there are almost no existences above the third order.
The female drow elves mainly exist as followers of the Spider Sect, and the only people who can fully control each family are the members of the family, and for those civilians, joining the Spider Church as a priest is a very good choice.
As a result, there are very few frontal classes in the class system of the Drow Elves, and they are more likely to use assassination, bows, sneak attacks, and magic as the main means of attack, and their equipment is mainly leather armor and cloth armor, even the shadow cavalry, known as the Children of Drow, are only wearing light chain mail that has been enchanted.
Usually, these details are not a big problem, the drow elves rarely fight tough battles, they are more focused on wild ambushes and sneak attacks in the dark, and dark vision gives them a unique advantage at night. And even if it is necessary to siege the city, the drow elves have a large number of slaves to use as cannon fodder, especially those with thick skin and thick flesh, and the tall minotaurs, with a little training, are the best candidates to use to storm the city walls.
And now, because of the slave rebellion, Gina Fei has completely lost control of the slave enclosure owned by the Deaver family, and those slaves are naturally unable to gather. On the other hand, because she has been suppressed by the Deaver family for several years, and for similar reasons as the Deaver family, she is also unable to gather a large number of slaves to participate in this war.
So it became what it is now, those drow elves who wear leather armor and are usually high up, at this moment, like the lowest cannon fodder, brave the bows and arrows that keep shooting above their heads, and climb up the wall step by step, the thin leather armor can't provide them with enough protection at all, whether it is the attacker or the defender, only a sharp enough stray arrow is enough to harvest a life.
But Daherne finally took to the wall with the main mother guard!
"Dahni! How dare you betray me! It seems that you would rather be one of Carres's dogs than be your own housewife! Gina Fie, whose face was covered in blood, stood at the head of the wall and looked at Daherney and said.
"Hmph, haven't you treated me like your dog all these years? Put away your face, slut! I'd rather be a winner than a loser than a housewife! β
"Then you're going to die here!" Gina Fei is too lazy to talk nonsense with Daherni anymore, she also has senior hero-level strength, facing Daheri, who has just become a hero-level for a few years, even if she can't completely crush it, it is not difficult to defeat the other party.
Not only the two hero-level powerhouses, but also the main mother guards of the two families rushed forward in unison, and the elites of the Banrui family and the Deaver family fought on the city wall.
At this moment, the gate of the castle, which had been closed, slowly rose with a creak, interrupting Ginafi's attack.
"It's ...... What is Salmadot doing? Why didn't you kill those traitors! Opening the castle gates required control of the Mithril Castle Core Magic Array, and she was sure she hadn't given such an order.
In other words, those traitors hiding in Mythril Castle not only closed the magic barrier, but even killed the guards she left in the main control center, and took control of the core magic circle of Mythril Castle!
"Hahaha! That's great! Everything was as I planned! Seeing the castle gate rise little by little, Kerrys's eyes lit up with excitement, "Order, launch a general attack!" I'm going to screw that slut's head off with my own hands! β
At this time, Gina Fei's face was a look of despair, she couldn't believe that the Mithril Castle, which she had high hopes for, was about to fall in less than a day, and she would also become a loser!
As for escaping? Dahni was obviously not willing to let Gina Fei leave so easily, and the attack and defense between the two changed the moment the castle gate was raised, and now it was Daheni who was pressing Gina Fei to attack.
Salmado, the harpy, flew out of the castle with her wings, but instead of helping Gina Fei defeat Dahni, she watched the battle on the walls from mid-air.
"Salmadot, what are you doing? Come help me! β
"Hahaha, slut, let's die of this heart!" Kerrys's voice came from not far away, "You're naΓ―ve, Gina Fey! Just like your lowly mother! β
"Salmadot, you...... You betrayed me? Gina Fei looked at the harpy in disbelief, she had never thought of this possibility.
"That's right, Mistress Gina Fei!" Salmado's face had long since lost that respectful look, "I was the one who closed the magic barrier before, and the guards who stayed in the main control center were originally selected by me!" β
"Why? Why? β
"Why? Gina Fei, you still don't understand? Cares said disdainfully, "The moment you rejected the Harpys, it was all done!" β
Gina Fee realized what a serious mistake she had made, and it was clear that ignoring the Harpy's appeal in order to win over the other Drow Elf families ultimately led to the loss of Salmado's prestige among the Harpy, and the other party was obviously unwilling to lose the leadership of the clan.
If this war hadn't happened, maybe Salmadot wouldn't have abandoned Gina Fey so quickly, but the return of Keris, coupled with the appearance of Jamina, finally made Salmado choose to betray, because if she didn't do so, she would have to die with Gina Fi.
Again, there is no loyalty in the drow elves' dictionary!
As if to confirm Kerryth's words, as the soldiers of the Banry family continued to pour into the Mithril Castle, there was also a dense sound of flapping wings in the air, and one by one the harpy appeared in the sky above the Mithril Castle as if they had suddenly awakened.
It was Jamina who led the way, and the minions of the Shadow Council had no sign of competing with Salmado for leadership, and two heroic harpies with thousands of their clansmen obscured the dim sky.
Suddenly, a deafening loud bang came from the direction of Lake East Nigadon, and violent tremors and waves of air swept through the city of Mousso Black like a storm, followed by blinding flashes of light, and violent bursts of magical power.
Even the side of Mithril Castle, which was farthest from Lake East Nigadon, was greatly affected, and the walls that were several meters thick were crumbling under the impact of this terrible air wave, and the bed crossbows that required three people to push were overturned like pieces of paper, and then smashed into the rock wall under the impact of the air waves, turning into splinters.
The drow elves in the battle were all stunned or blinded, and some of the more unlucky ones were directly swept away by the air wave and crashed to death on the rock wall. The harpies flying in mid-air were even more blown to the ground, falling to the ground like dumplings, dizzy and dizzy, unable to get up for half a day.
No one knew what was going on in Lake East Niagardon, the terrible loud noise and flash, and the terrifying wave of air that followed, almost destroyed half of Mossoblack City, and even blew out the flames on the Nabondel Pillar, plunging the entire underground cavern into darkness.
When Cares finally recovers from tinnitus and blindness, she discovers that Gina Fie, who was supposed to be lying on the ground like Dahni, is gone.
Obviously, the mistress of the Deaver family took advantage of the chaos just now, left everyone behind and fled!
"Slut!" Seeing the duck in her hand fly like this, Keris roared angrily, if it weren't for the sudden disaster just now, Gina Fey would have become a prisoner in her hands! "Damn it, you bunch of shit! Rubbish! β
Dizzy, Dahne slowly got up from the ground, because she lived in the dim underground world all year round, the eyes of the drow elves could not adapt to the bright light in a short time, and the strength of Cele could allow her to recover in a very short time, but Dahnyke could not do it.
"Go, find me! Even if you search the whole of Mosso Black City, you have to find that slut! Cares said angrily, as for the soldiers of the Deaver family lying on the ground, they were dead in the eyes of Cares at this moment. In the battle among the drow elves, the loser will not only have to pay with his own life, but also face the terrible price of the extinction of his entire family.
"Are you looking for this?" Suddenly, a lazy voice came from the stands on the third floor of Mythril Castle, and a figure appeared, holding the unconscious Ginafi Deaver in his hand.
"Elvia!"
