"Whew, whew. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is really tough. Zarie, the daughter of Toulouse, the head of House Gern, said as she poured the last bits of fiery glue on the defeated troll.

Before the attack on the Gerns, their head Toulouse sent several soldiers to send his daughter away, intending to send her to the surface in search of the vast power allied with him. Rescue is too late, Toulouse considers whether it is possible to use allies to take revenge - as a force that prioritizes profits, it is impossible to avenge the Gunn family out of righteousness, but Toulouse has a certain network of connections in the underworld, and he expects to be able to lure the ally far away on the surface back to cooperate with other male-dominated families, and eventually prompt it to attack the family of the Faith Spider Queen.

Because he sent his daughter for that purpose, Toulouse, who feared that the family would be attacked, did not equip his daughter with a good guard, because that would weaken the family's defenses. However, fearing that the guards would rebel for the sake of profit, the guards chosen by Toulouse were all fanatical followers of the Scorpion Lord, and it was absolutely impossible for them to betray Zari in order to curry favor with the priests of the Queen of Spiders. Instead, one of the responsibilities of those Zali's guards was to keep an eye on Zali. Toulouse couldn't trust his daughter, because it was a daughter, a woman. As a thoughtful head of the family, he had to worry about his daughter defecting to the priestesses of the spider queen because of her gender.

And it is precisely because the guards have strong ideas but insufficient professional quality that they stumble along the way in the dangerous underground. When they finally reached a passage close to the surface, just as everyone was about to sprint, a group of trolls appeared. The second wave of trolls they encountered.

The fierce battle unfolded in an instant in the narrow passage, and the stenching trolls roared and waved their sticks. Because the movement is so violent, its long nose is flicked one after another. There are even trolls who simply grab them with their claws, and their long arms and sharp nails are no less powerful.

Not so well on the Dark Elves' side. If it were in their city, the trolls would be inferior creatures that only deserved to be slaves. But the situation is very different now. This small group is no match for the trolls in terms of numbers. It was difficult to outrun the trolls, so the dark elves had to carry scimitars and rapiers to meet them.

Originally, lighter weapons such as scimitars or rapiers were extremely effective in battles between dark elves. However, facing trolls shows the disadvantage of not being lethal to large creatures. What's particularly bad is that one of the advantages of tall trolls is that their effective supply far exceeds these dark bans that use short weapons. And the only little mage in the team is really not very good at cultivation, and a speed up spell occupies his highest spell position. He can only use low-level magic such as Yoo Ma's Acid Arrow and Burning Hand to provide fire support that is slightly better than nothing.

The battle in the panic was finally over. The dark elves are a powerful race in the underground, and no matter how bad they are, they will not be defeated by a group of trolls so easily. The end result of the battle was that three of Zali's guards fell. After a few of the trolls fell, the rest retreated into the dark crevices of the cavern.

Defeating a troll doesn't mean killing a troll. In order to prevent the trolls from getting up and chasing them after a while, the dark elves used their swords to destroy them completely with fire and acid to ensure that the strong bodies would not rise again.

"How's that? move on?" said one of the guards, asking Zarie for instructions. In the family dedicated to the Scorpion Lord, the male dark elves are contemptuous of women. It was only because of Zali's status that the guard showed a certain level of respect.

"No!" replied Zari without thinking. "The trolls who retreated, they will definitely come back after they heal from their injuries. They won't stop without eating us. We must be prepared to confront them again. You must know that the troll's regeneration ability is very strong, and I am afraid that the little injury will recover quickly......"

When they heard that the trolls were coming again, everyone was a little nervous. No one wants their final destination to be those big mouths that smell like they're stinking. And just because they defeated the trolls doesn't mean they can defeat the trolls again. In the battle just now, they not only lost manpower, but more importantly, they lost consumables such as scrolls, wands, and fiery gel. There were no more scrolls or wands in the mage's bag that could deal fire or acid damage.

Probably sensing the nervousness of the guards, Zari smiled lightly and said, "What are you afraid of? ”

"Fire, our mage is out of spells, and the fiery glue has run out......"

"Just excuse me?" Zari interrupted the guard, and said directly.

"Aggrieved eyes?"

"Yes, we'll have to make torches to resist. Zali replied.

Because the dark elves have lived underground for a long time, visible light to humans can cause discomfort to the eyes of the dark elves. But it probably has something to do with not being underground for long enough. Although the eyes of the dark elves in this world are sensitive to light, they are not so excessive that they cannot be touched. Otherwise, when there is a war between families, a fireball goes down, wouldn't it make the dark elves all blind?

For the Dark Elves, because of their dark vision, there is no need for torches. Therefore, there was no preparation of that thing in the team, so it could only be made on the spot.

"Make torches? There's no material here......

"No, that's it. Zari interrupted the guards again, pointing point-blank at the corpse of the dark elves on the ground. "Use their bones to make torch handles, then tear their clothes into strips of cloth and tie them to them, and then take out the fat and other fatty tissues from their bodies and pour them on them......"

The guards immediately did as they were told. If it were a human being, I am afraid that it would be psychologically unbearable to do this to a comrade-in-arms who had just died. But the cold dark elves don't care about that. And Zali, the daughter of Toulouse, the head of the House of Gern, is still an underage child according to the calculation of the dark elves, but she can calmly order the guards to do that kind of thing, which is beyond the reach of human beings - not cruelty, the same cruelty as human children, but the calmness and wit that are beyond the reach of human children.

However, it is not easy to find fat from the Dark Elf warriors. And don't expect how much fat a hungry troll will have. Even cracking open the bones of those corpses to extract bone marrow is only a minor addition. In the end, all in all, the torch making was not ideal, and only a few very rudimentary torches were made.

Among the accompanying guards, someone carried spirits. A vial is not enough to deal with trolls, but it is a great starter for lighting torches.

However, with these few torches, it is foolish to fight against hordes of trolls. On the one hand, the purpose of these torches is to scathe the troll that has fallen to the ground and prevent it from getting back on its feet. On the other hand, if you encounter a lone troll, there is still a certain intimidation. However, the biggest effect of Zari ordering her men to make these torches was to boost morale.

Picking up the torches, the group of dark elves carefully set out on their journey again.

Not long after, as she reached a complex terrain, Zari once again smelled a gruesome sweet smell.

Seeing that the guards didn't notice this and looked a little casual, Zari couldn't help but sigh, judging from the smell, there were definitely a lot of trolls coming, and those few simple torches would definitely not be able to withstand so many hungry trolls. It seems that only Zali, a seasoned wanderer, is aware of what is about to happen - the dark elves are not known for their sense of smell, and only the specially trained Zari smells trolls.

"Do you want to say it?" Zari hesitated inwardly, if she didn't say it, it would be extremely beneficial for her to slip away. That way, the troll will focus on dealing with a group of resisting prey so that she can slip away. However, she couldn't bear to hide from them like this. Zari has been influenced by heretical thoughts, not exactly the same as those of other dark elves.

In the end, she made a compromise choice.

When she found an excuse to leave the group for some distance, she spoke, "The trolls are coming, and you are blessed. ”

Before she could finish speaking, she had unleashed the full power of the Wanderer and fled in the darkness.

The few remaining guards were in chaos in an instant. Some of them suspected that Zari was planning to run away and join the priestesses of the spider queen.

However, after more than ten seconds, when they also smelled the faint sweetness, they stopped panicking all of a sudden.

They have a tacit understanding to scatter birds and beasts. If it weren't for Toulouse's good training, teaching them discipline, and giving them a little bit of robes, it is likely that they would have done the thing of stabbing others twice before scattering them - the wounded would have been better served as bait for the trolls to cover the escape of the able-bodied.

The mage, the only one in the group, let out a crying cry - without the cover of the warriors and with little magic left, he would be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered before the trolls. However, he still inflicted a foot anointing spell on himself under the influence of his will to survive, hoping that the speed advantage would take him to escape.

Unfortunately, it wasn't long before he ran into a troll. At that fateful moment, he performed an extraordinary spell with extreme speed and accuracy, unleashing a level 0 arcane artefact.

A ball of arcane condensed acid smashed into the troll's ugly face. The troll, who was suddenly attacked, couldn't help but try to wipe the acid off his sensitive face with his hands.

"Did you get your escape?" the dark elf mage was thinking about the thought when a giant claw struck him from behind knocked him to the ground.

He was confronted by two trolls.

In the blink of an eye, he was a mass of fresh meat that the trolls had munched on. And those dark elf warriors didn't all run out. After losing the cover of their companions, the fleeing dark elves are so vulnerable to the trolls. The troll's powerful arm tore through the dark elf's body with ease. The once arrogant ruler of the underworld has become the mouth of a group of monsters.

At this moment, Zari has successfully shaken off the tracker. After a short rest, a two-hour march led her to the surface.

It was early in the morning when the sun was rising.

"Is this the sun?" said Zari to herself. The dark elf who had instilled heresy in her had told her that under the light of the sun, the heart of evil would melt like water close to flames. The surface world is a wonderful world. There, unlike in the Dark Elves society, the Dark Elves live for the family. Rather, it is the rank of "man" above the "state", and "man" is the purpose of the existence of the state, not the existence of "man" for the sake of the state. Therefore, on the surface, the state has an obligation to defend the birthright of all human beings, which is the purpose of the state's existence. If the government cannot be done, the people can change or overthrow it at any time. The dark elves who had instilled heresy in her had more than once encouraged her to defect to the so-called "free world on the surface". Say there will be no racial discrimination, everyone is equal. He also pointed out decisively that all the negative news on the surface is used by the rulers of the dark elves to deceive the people, and they are brainwashing the people.

"Is there such a wonderful world?" Zari thought as she walked towards a bright future.

Let's update this chapter with a relatively small number of words first. Fortunately, most of the next plots have already been conceived.

Speaking of which, I originally planned to write a short story with the dark elves as the protagonists, complaining about Southern Weekly, cat's eyes and other forces that claim to be the "conscience of China". The content is nothing more than underground, and life is naturally very bad. So there is a dark elf who constantly promotes the beauty of the "free world on the surface". And a dark elf who believed to be true did go up, but it was miserable......

The "free world on the surface" here corresponds to the so-called "free world of the West".

If anyone finds these sarcasms too blunt, please point them out and I will delete them as appropriate.

I'm not saying that the "Western free world" is bad. But the "Western free world" is not a paradise either. And Russia's experience also shows that so-called universal values are not so invincible.

"Russian girls are so cheap, and Ukrainian ones are not expensive! Thanks to Solzhenitsyn! Thanks to Gorbachev!"

I don't want that to happen in China.
