Chapter 11: Underground

The Upper Dark Realm, an underground world close to the surface and in large-scale contact with the surface races. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This is where many races such as dark elves, eye demons, dwarves, mind flayers, underground gnomes, and rat people live.

Here, the world is pitch black, and there is a very different ecological environment from the surface, an extremely harsh ecological environment.

It has been said that the harsh natural environment breeds a cruel people. This is true at least for creatures like the Dark Elves. In the world of the Dark Elves, there is never a shortage of fights...... Those races that have never been exposed to the sun are often as dark on the inside as they are on the outside.

"No magic runes found. ”

"The troops are all ready. ”

"The other party's outer guard posts have been cleared, and the other party has not yet noticed. ”

......

Through the unique sign language of the dark elves, a series of messages are silently transmitted. And Su Wu, who was in charge of the command, had a shallow smile on his lips. Everything is ready, and it will be a great dedication to the Queen of Spiders to eradicate that contemptible family right away!

This is not a battle for power between a family controlled by a master mother and a family controlled by another master mother, but a different kind of battle - a religious holy war!

In the dark underneath this continent, there are also dark elves known as Drow. They were also driven underground. They also lived under the sun, and at one point conquered their cousins to the south, building the largest empire of their time. But after the death of that generation of heroes, the huge empire fell apart. The Drow's cousins rebelled and gained their independence. After hundreds of years of war, Drow or one of their cousins first applied an ancient magic of the age of dragons and giants, which was so powerful that the lifespan of Drow and their cousins dropped to more than a hundred years forever. Later, after many events such as the rise of the Norma Empire, Drow was banished into the underground and became a resident of the Dark Lands.

Although they all live underground, the complexion is like that of an ebony race. But the dark elves in this world are different from the dark elves elsewhere. Perhaps because they have not lived underground long enough, they have not been as badly transformed by the leyline radiation, and their national character and religious beliefs are different from the dark elves of other worlds, except for the lack of some abilities.

In this world, not most of the dark elves worship the spider queen. In fact, only forty percent of the dark elves worship the spider queen, and in addition to the scattered dark elves who believe in other gods, forty percent of the dark elves worship the evil god they call the scorpion lord. Correspondingly, they naturally worship scorpions instead of spiders.

Naturally, the wars of religion arose from this. Ever since the dark elves were driven underground, the war between the dark elves who believe in the spider queen and the dark elves who believe in the scorpion lord has never stopped. The two sides fought one battle after another underground. Sometimes it is the adherents of the Scorpion Lord who win, smirking and tying up the priestess of the spider queen and humiliating her. Sometimes, it is the followers of the spider queen who win, and the followers of the scorpion lord are dealt with in more cruel ways, such as feeding them to the spiders.

Right now, it's an all-out war between a family that believes in the Queen of Spiders and a family that believes in the Scorpion Lord.

The strength of the two is not at the same level at all. The Gern family, which worships the Scorpion Lord, is not a big family, and neither in terms of members nor slaves, is no match for the Kailaze family that worships the spider queen.

So, the eldest daughter of the Kairazi family, the commander of this battle, Suu, thought that it would be easy to solve this battle.

Everything was in place, everything was as planned and perfect. Without hesitation, she fired the flare at the appointed time.

As flares lifted into the air, several Dark Elf mages chanted incantations. Their target is not the enemy, but a screaming mushroom. According to the intelligence, the Gunn family lacked enough spellcasters. Therefore, in addition to relying on sentinels, the outer guard of their family is only screaming mushrooms. The screaming mushroom is a strange mushroom that can make a loud noise when it touches something, which serves as a warning. But under the suppression of silence, they will be as quiet as sleeping babies.

With a series of gestures conveying the order, the soldiers of House Kairazig rushed in. Everything seems to be working as it is in wargames.

However, the war is forever full of accidents, and before they can get close to the walls of the Gunn family, the sirens are already sounding.

"Damn! the enemy has a spellcaster we don't know about!" thought to Suu's mind. But she still calmly ordered her subordinates to carry out the second plan, that is, to force a breakthrough!

Immediately, countless slave races were driven forward under the threat of whips and scimitars, to withstand the fire of the other side and fulfill the obligation of cannon fodder.

"Give it all to me! damn it!" shouted Toulouse, the head of House Gern, a tall, muscular male, standing in the hallway. "Do you want to be masters and whip those females, or do you want to be whipped by them on your prostrates!

That's right, due to the spider queen's preference for women, the families that are basically dominated by men have fallen to the scorpion master. In a sense, the current war is also a war between the sexes for dominance.

Amid the cacophony of sirens, the soldiers of the Gern family rushed to the wall to find their place. After that, they raised their crossbows and fired deadly crossbows at their enemies. Although the Guerns were weaker, Toulouse was in the male instinct of reason, skilled in building fortifications, and trained his men in an orderly manner.

As waves of arrows fell, the slave soldiers of the Kairazi family fell with screams. But Su Wu was indifferent, they were just some low-level slaves made of goblins and kobolds, who were meant to consume the opponent's arrows and traps.

However, under the fierce fire of the soldiers of the Gern family, those cowardly monsters fell in pieces like wheat blown by a storm, and they could not advance to the trap area of the Gern family. Seeing this, Su Wu frowned, and then waved his hand to order the second wave of monsters to come out.

This time it's different from last time, this time it's a monster, it's a terrible troll. The soldiers of the Kairazze family untied the chains to the trolls, and with a combination of magic and acid, drove them to the front lines.

The freed troll roared, seemingly reluctantly. But when their long noses smelled blood, they immediately spontaneously attacked forward. Looking forward to filling that insatiable belly with fresh flesh and blood.

Seeing the ugly troll appearing with his body on his back, the soldiers of the Gern family did not need to be ordered, and they all had a tacit understanding to replace the crossbow bolt with a flame arrow. Seasoned warriors know that trolls possess terrifying regenerative abilities, but are afraid of fire. The Level 3 Arcane Flame Arrows can create hundreds of Flame Arrows at once, which is perfect for dealing with trolls.

The bolts of crossbow bolts shot at the trolls with firelight, and they were dotted with stars, which was quite beautiful. But with the crossbow bolt hitting, the soldiers of the House of Guern turned unsightly.

The trolls ignored the attack of the fire bolt and continued to charge forward, even speeding up their pace as they were stimulated by the attack.

They are not afraid of flames!

At the same time, a smile appeared on the corner of Su Wu's mouth again. Unlike normal trolls, flames can't cause irreparable damage to them, so they're not afraid of flames.

As the trolls advanced, they made their way to the trap area of House Gern. This time, even these monsters with thick skin and skin and amazing ability to regenerate began to fall one after another.

Traps began to work one after another, with purely mechanical traps closing their massive pincers to trap the trolls in place or sink them underground. There are also magic traps, bursting out of force fields, lightning and other energy damage. There were even one or two pools of acid bubbling and bubbling, engulfing the trolls completely.

One by one, the trolls fell, but Toulouse was even more anxious. Because as the trolls fell, the traps lost their effect. With the trolls' regenerative abilities, it won't be long before the other trolls get back up again, except for those who were swallowed by the acid pool.

"It's up to you!" he snapped his head and shouted to his allies beside him. His three allies nodded, and immediately took out three sixth-level arcane scrolls without remembering the cost.

As the scroll was activated, three large patches of dark green fog appeared on the battlefield. The trolls who fell into it immediately howled wolf, and in the strange thick fog, their flesh peeled off piece by piece as if they had been doused with boiling water. They tried to get out of there quickly, but as if they were entangled in something, they could only stagger and move slowly.

It is a sixth-level arcane acid mist technique, which in addition to having all the characteristics of the heavy fog technique, can also deal continuous strong acid damage. It's perfect for trolls in this situation.

"Oh, these lowly males have brought in a few spellcasters. Hmph, useless struggle!" Seeing that something had happened, Su Wu did not panic. Calmly gave the order, "Now, launch a general attack!"

The dark vision of the soldiers of the House of Gunn was immediately filled with the heat emanating from the soldiers of the House of Kairazi. In addition to the slave soldiers, Suu also sent out the Dark Elf soldiers. This is no longer a tentative operation, but a total offensive through and through.

At the forefront are still cannon fodder like goblins. It's just that the number has been reduced a lot, and this is to prevent them from retreating and rushing into disarray. They were followed by slave soldiers such as minotaurs, ogres, and gray dwarves. These combat-inclined creatures are eager to slash their weapons at the bodies of the dark elves. Due to the usually strict laws, they can only vent to their heart's content at this time.

The last to be defeated were the Dark Elf soldiers, most of whom were civilians attached to the Kairazze family, but there were also occasional well-dressed Kairazi family members who mingled and commanded. They marched forward calmly, knowing that their status as dark elves would take care of them, and that when it was their turn to step forward, the enemy would become weary and scarred, allowing them to defeat them easily.

In the face of the attack of the Kailazar family, the Gunn family was not to be outdone. Their family's fortifications are carefully planned, and in addition to being not weak in defense, they can also make full use of firepower. More like a hedgehog than a tortoise.

With shouts one after another, the trebuchet's thick throwing arm creaked overwhelmed. Then he suddenly released the elastic potential energy and threw the huge barrel into the air. The Guerns surveyed all the surrounding areas, making the catapult's throwing extremely accurate. Just as the barrel flew over the enemy, the time fuse exploded on time, pouring a large cloud of burning Nafa oil in the barrel. Immediately, the screams overpowered everything. Nafa oil is a volatile light oil product, which is obtained by cutting the corresponding fraction through crude oil distillation or petroleum secondary processing. Capable of sticking to most pieces of armor. The soldiers who were set ablaze by the slow-moving, burning Nafa oil became a torch at once. The Dark Elf masters were only worried about the ignited ogres, and the minotaurs were rushing around and destroying the formation, so they used fire extinguishing techniques to extinguish the flames on their bodies. As for the gray dwarves who were ignited, the dark elf masters directly relieved their pain with crossbow arrows.

At the same time, the ballistas also completed the process of winding, loading, and firing. Crossbow arrows, which are thicker than javelins, are shot out under the action of torsion springs, and they hit the target accurately. And all the targets that were hit were pierced and nailed to the ground. If it was an army of serfs on the surface, the horrific sight of being pinned to the ground screaming and struggling would undoubtedly scare the morale of the army. But the slave soldiers silently faced the tragic situation of their comrades - the punishment of the dark elves for those who did not fight hard was even more cruel!

And some of the ballistas were used to fire lead balls, which swept through the enemy line with unstoppable momentum. Hit the enemy, smash down, hit the ground, bounce up, hit the enemy again...... The terrifying lead ball bounced off the ground, knocking down enemies it touched before it could lose momentum. The thick ogre's thighs were easily broken like wheat stalks.

But Suwu was indifferent and determined. These losses were to be expected. Her army, though slightly flustered, continued to advance......
