Chapter 18: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole Shadow Assassin
Compared to the Mithril Mine in Thorintown, Molière's Amethyst Mine is much larger, so the defenses on both sides are also different.
The walls of the Mithril Mine are taller and thicker, and they are only about twenty yards (eighteen meters) long, so they can be considered a terrain that can be ignored, but as a result, the internal garrison is relatively small.
Therefore, under a sudden attack, it is easy to break through the advantage of losing the city wall.
On the other hand, the Amethyst Mine did not have walls, but instead had a row of fences made of ironwood.
Only on either side of the gate are two wooden arrow towers with two Dark Elf sentries on them.
Although it seems easier to break through, the Molière mines are home to a large number of soldiers.
Includes a squadron of eighty-six Dark Elf Sentinels (Second Class),
Two squadrons of one hundred and seventy minotaurs, forty of which are elite guards.
plus a squad of mid-level dark elf mages, the leader of which is also a high-level dark mage.
The second main thing is that there is also a squad of Dark Ranger and a Shadow Assassin inside.
Although the Dark Ranger is relatively ordinary, it is a jack-of-all-trades class, capable of melee combat and range.
The Shadow Assassin, on the other hand, was an advanced class for the Assassins.
With the super explosive power of an assassin, even a hero professional may not be able to withstand it.
There is a saying that goes like this: "The assassin profession was born to kill beyond the ranks." ”
Of course, they are not without their shortcomings, that is, it is difficult to be promoted.
Basically, the number of Assassins who can be promoted to Hero Power is less than one-twentieth of that of other classes.
As for the legendary powerhouse, it is difficult to produce one in a hundred years, and only the dark elf clan has more of them, and there are only two or three more per hundred years.
All of this was heard from the Lizard Rider.
This lizard knight leader named Turan is actually quite high-ranking in this area, and basically the supplies of the major mines are escorted by him.
Don't underestimate this escort mission, the mineral value of these mines can be seen from the harvest of the Mithril mines, so Turan is still very trusted by the Dark Elf Masterdam.
But compared to his own life, these trusts and honors are insignificant.
In order to control this guy, Edward and the white-haired cute girl carefully concocted an undead poison for him to drink.
Now in the face of the Molière mine, which has far more troops than itself, it is obvious that a strong attack will not work, and it must be outwitted.
Unfortunately, the Lizard Knight was killed by two Lizard Mounts, which means that two of the five Lizard Knight became infantrymen.
And the time for each time Turan goes to the mine is predetermined, even if Turan can enter the mine, it is absolutely difficult for Edward's undead soldiers to blend in, and the rancid smell of the undead is obvious.
Therefore, it is not advisable to attack it, but only to lure the enemy out.
So a lizard cavalry anxiously rode the lizard to the Molière mine and shouted: "The Mithril mine in Torin Town has been attacked by the guys of the Night Fragment, and on the orders of General Turan, you should quickly send troops and me to support." ”
Although the Dark Ranger officer on duty at Molière's mine was puzzled, the military situation was urgent, and he quickly found Alvi, the senior dark mage in charge here.
Alvi is an old dark elf who has survived to this day as an old man of the Soul Clan. In addition to his good magical strength, it is also because he has always been cautious.
However, Alvi thought carefully for a while, and realized that what the Lizard Knight said should not be false.
Because today is the day when the lizard knight Captain Turan goes to the Mithril Mine to collect ore, and because the Mithril Mine is located on the border, although the location is relatively remote, it is difficult to ensure that the Night Fragment or the Shadow Brand Clan will send troops to attack there.
Of course, because the Night Shard clan is split, it should be difficult to send a large number of soldiers and horses to the battle.
The Shadow Brand Tribe is the least powerful of the eight major clans, and it was the first to be attacked by the Dark Council, so it will not send too many soldiers and horses.
According to the Lizard Knight's description, the enemy did not send many troops.
The meaning of the Turan knight chief is mainly to borrow soldiers to play a counter-encirclement.
Originally, Turan was a more belligerent character, so it was not impossible to do such a thing.
Even if Alvi wanted to break his head, he couldn't imagine that it was the undead army coming, so after thinking about it, he found that there was no big problem, so he sent a squadron of minotaurs, three dark mages.
"I'll go and see if I'm going to take a look." The shadow assassin hidden in the darkness suddenly said.
"This ...... All right. "Since I think it's okay, and the shadow assassin should be more sure if he makes a move, so Alvi didn't object.
Besides, it doesn't matter much, these shadow assassins are difficult for anyone to drive them except for the master mother, Alvi is just a high-level dark mage, and he is not the opponent of the shadow assassins in the first place, so he can't say anything.
When the lizard knight led the troops away, Alvi felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he carefully raised the vigilance in the mine, and did not go to meditate and rest again.
Anyway, with the remaining troops, as long as it is not suppressed by a large army, it can still hold out for a long time.
The unsuspecting Dark Elf forces were urged by the lizard knights, so they did not send scouts to survey the surrounding terrain.
As the highest-ranking shadow assassin, the Dark Dagger has no idea of issuing orders, but has been missing since he hit the road.
The lizard knight in charge of the lure, although a little worried, still lured the dark elf troops to the ambush site.
Then they encountered the ambush of the dark elf troops, and the appearance of the undead frightened them even more.
The appearance of the Minotaur and the Lizard Knight made the dark elf force quickly choose to surrender.
The shadow assassin was not seen until the end of the battle, no, the lizard knight who led the way was dead.
It wasn't until the end of the war that everyone found out, which made everyone a little creepy, and the Assassins hiding in the dark were too intimidating.
"Dead is dead, and immediately attack the Molière mines." Having weakened half of the opponent's forces, and even replenished a lot of his own troops, Edward felt that there was no need to waste time playing other tricks.
Alvi had raised his guard a long time ago, but Edward had launched an attack with dignity.
A large number of corpses were thrown to the ground, then turned into skeletons and zombies by spiritism, and these cannon fodder slowly launched an attack on the walls.
Because the Molière mine was actually just a fence and not a wall, the firepower was not very high. Moreover, most of their ranged Dark Ranger also surrendered to Edward.
Later, Edward and several other necromancers summoned a group of undead summons to attack the city walls.
Alvi looked at the minotaur who was originally his subordinate, but now he surrendered, and suddenly felt depressed, but he didn't expect that he had been cautious all the time, and he was still in the way of the undead.
As a dark mage, he doesn't have too strong explosive means, and his strongest curse ability is useless because the opposite side is an undead.
"Be careful!" Suddenly, a dark shadow burst out from Edward's back, and the dark dagger stabbed directly into Edward's neck.
"Dark Double." Knowing that there were assassins on the other side, Edward had already prepared a life-saving skill.
And the two minotaurs and the lizard knight chief Turan, who had been ready to wait for the rabbit for a long time, did not leave the shadow assassin behind.
"It's really scary." After using the dark stand-in technique, the whole person felt very bad, especially the emptiness in the brain, which made Edward want to vomit a little.
At this time, the other party continued to launch assassinations, and he was likely to die.
Thankfully, the surrounding minotaurs held up their shields to protect Edward, so that even the Assassins would have to break through the minotaurs' blockade.
The dark mage Alvi soon abandoned the walls, and the dark mages on the two arrow towers also escaped with magic.
The gate was opened and the Molière mine was opened, but it was empty and empty.
No, there was also a lonely cross with the dying young Minotaur Alista strapped to it.
"Alista!" Edward looked at the scarred Alista and couldn't care about anything else, and jumped past the Minotaur defenses and pounced on Alista.
The Minotaurs also see Alista, but they are more concerned about Edward's safety, after all, Edward is someone who needs to be protected.
The Minotaur attaches more importance to honor and commitment, and life comes second.
Of course, they were also very worried about Alista's safety.
The crowd rescued Alysta and put him on the ground.
However, because the injury was too severe, Alista was already in a dying state.
"Help him! Which of you save him! Edward shouted anxiously.
