Chapter Twenty-Three: Rapid Siege Unexpected Surrender
It didn't take long for Edward to set his next target.
It was a purple gold mine called Seferas.
Purple Gold Coin was once the currency of the ancient arcane civilization of the Shantiri Empire.
Because of the purple gold's ability to store magical power, the purple gold coin is also called the magic gold coin, and the superb magic craftsmanship of Shantiri makes the purple gold coin itself extremely expensive even more cherished.
Each purple gold coin is said to be enchanted with several types of magic, and is an important means for mages to learn ancient arcane. Therefore, the value of purple gold coins is extremely high, and it can basically be equal to Mithril.
You must know that the weight of Mithril is very light, so the Purple Gold Coin is higher than the unit price of Mithril purely in terms of weight.
Although the method of making purple gold coins has been lost, purple gold is still a good enchantment material or artwork material. As mentioned earlier, the Dark Elves are particularly fond of purple, so they often use purple gold to make sculptures.
These money sculptures in the Dark Elf clan are often able to sell for sky-high prices.
Such a valuable thing, Edward knew, it had to be robbed
After collecting the troops and slaves of the seven mines, plus Edward, who was already strong, decided to attack the medium-sized purple gold mines called Seferas. (The town of Torrin is a small Mithril mine.)
The Purple Gold Mine was naturally very heavily guarded, and there were three of them as senior professionals alone.
It also includes a squadron of Tier 2 Dark Sentinels, a squadron of Tier 3 Elite Minotaurs, a squadron of Tier 3 Stalkers, a squadron of Tier 4 Dark Orc Warriors, and a squad of Dark Elven Priests.
There are more than 1,000 enemies in total, plus more than 600 mining slaves.
It may seem difficult to capture the enemy, but Edward has accumulated more than 600 minotaurs through the six mines in front of him, and there are more than 200 other miscellaneous dark elf troops.
In addition, the two hundred undead troops in the headquarters, the Minotaur and the Lizard Knight, also have nearly thirty high-level combat power.
There are more than a dozen small bullaurs, but wearing Michelle's steel armor, their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of ordinary fifth-level soldiers.
In terms of quantity and quality, it is not inferior to the mine guards, on the contrary, it is more explosive, after all, there are more high-level professionals on their side.
Without any strategy, Edward began to attack in a dignified manner, and it was an onslaught.
After all, even if the other party sends scouts to discover their own army, it will still take a certain amount of time for them to prepare for battle.
The Seferas Purple Gold Mine was built with a stone wall, but because the mine was more prominent, there were more places to defend, and three sections of walls were built.
There are also stone houses built inside, so the defense is still very good.
The good news is that these stone enclosures are not very high, only about three meters high.
"Siege the city, execute the first set of plans!" Edward shouted as he turned on his amplification magic.
The heavier the Minotaur warriors came out, and behind them were spherical baskets.
These baskets, made of underground vines, were used to transport minerals in the mines, but now they contain ghouls.
The Minotaur threw the baskets onto the city wall in a standard chain-throwing fashion.
The basket shattered, and the ghouls inside jumped out, and the minotaur guards on the city wall couldn't dodge, and were bitten to death by the ghouls.
Then the Minotaurs led the Minotaur into the charge.
Vampire minions and dark elf assassins easily crossed the walls and attacked.
The unparalleled strength of the minotaur slashed the city gate with a giant axe.
The gates of the mine were not too strong, and they were quickly broken down by the minotaurs.
The gates were wide open, and Edward's side began to attack on all fronts.
A big battle broke out in the mines, which soon attracted the three guards stationed in the mines.
"Priest Sarina, the other party suddenly attacked, our army was caught off guard, and now the city wall has been lost." A dark sentry knelt in front of a sexy female dark elf dressed in black leather and prayed.
"Rubbish!" The female dark elf actually took out an extra-long whip and knocked the dark sentry to the ground with a single whip. The dark sentinel's screams were silent.
"Little Lisa, what's going on?" Sarina turned to look at a dark elf dressed as a ranger on the other side.
"It should be the raiding force of the Undead Legion, I thought it was wiped out by Lord Munn, but I didn't expect another one to pop up. And they dare to attack our Seferas mines, they will not fail to do a good job of reconnaissance, indicating that the other party's troops should be stronger than us, and we had better retreat to the mines. "Dark Ranger Girl, take out a big bow, attack one arrow at a second, and soon a large number of ghouls and vampire minions will be killed.
"Hmph, little Lisa, what are you afraid of, we are the three sisters of the famous Blood Spring Clan, these undead...... Depend on! The female dark elf with the red twin knives who came out seemed to want to taunt something, but when she saw a large number of minotaurs pouring out from behind the split gate, she was suddenly choked and unable to speak.
With the Minotaurs taking the lead in attacking, even the dark orcs in the mine rushed out to fight the enemy, but they still couldn't resist it.
The young minotaurs wore a full set of Michel steel armor, and the adult minotaur warriors, although they could not wear armor, were each given a Michel steel weapon.
With such a big killing weapon, combined with the superb martial arts of the bull-headed people, it can be said that they are invincible.
Whether it was the Minotaur or the Dark Orc, they couldn't resist and wanted to retreat.
Because of the sudden attack, the mine wall was directly forcibly attacked, and now the enemy is menacing, and the three Blood Spring sisters are unable to take back the city wall at all, and even because there is no danger to defend in the mine, they are forced to hide underground.
The other mine guards also fled, and some of the slower runners were either killed or surrendered.
However, hiding underground, Edward could not penetrate it.
After all, the three sisters of the Blood Spring are all high-level professionals, especially the eldest sister is not only the shadow priest of the Dark Dragon, but also leads a team of dark priests.
The legal profession is not a warrior that can be fought hard, not only is the ability more secretive, but also the damage is also high.
In order to reduce the losses of his own side and save time, Edward gave up the idea of attacking the underground.
In fact, if there is enough time, and if the undead troops on your side are a little stronger, no one is an opponent of the undead in this kind of protracted battle.
Anyway, the ore is basically on the mine, and most of the slaves are also on the mine, so there is not much to say, and everything that can be used is packed and taken away.
Among them, Edward also sent Gardex and the lizard knight Turan to persuade him to surrender, but he didn't expect that the persuasion was really successful.
Later, I asked them why they surrendered, but it turned out to be a reason of faith.
The Dark Council is a faithless group, and the Dark Elves, especially the eldest sister like the Three Sisters of the Blood Fountains, Sarina, are followers of the Dark Dragon. As a believer in the Dark Dragon, it is clear that it is not right to take refuge in the Dark Council.
Of course, according to Edward's inquiries and analysis from the side, the problem is that the battle on the front line is becoming more and more intense.
The Dark Council continued to send nearby troops to reinforce the front line, and the three Bloodspring sisters, who were afraid of death, did not want to go to the battlefield to be cannon fodder, so Edward came, so they surrendered to Edward.
"No discipline, no discipline." For such a high surrender rate of the dark elves, Edward had to say that they had played too much intrigue and trickery, so the loss of courage was too serious.
Because of the unexpected surrender of the three Blood Spring sisters, Edward's harvest was even richer this time.
Purple gold ore worth more than half a million gold coins, more than 700 dark elf troops.
As for the dead dark elf troops, they were also happily transformed into undead troops by the undead officers, although they lost a lot, only more than one hundred and fifty undead, but it also increased the strength of the undead troops by more than half.
And there are a lot of minotaurs and other powerful slaves among the slaves here, so this purple gold mine is laid.
Not only did Edward get a lot of wealth, but instead of decreasing his troops, he doubled them, so to speak.
"That's how cool it feels!" Edward sang happily.
However, as a professional robber, running after the fight is a basic literacy.
Therefore, by the time the Dark Council knew that the Purple Gold Mine had been robbed, Edward would have fled.
