Chapter 454: The Alliance Under the City
"Withdraw, hurry up, the city lord is dead, there is no way to fight this battle, hurry up."
"This is a trap, this is a trap from beginning to end, the enemy deliberately lures us to the bait, in order to destroy our main force."
"All retreat! Retreat all! ”
"Idiot, it's not good to mess around, at this time, the faster you retreat, the faster you die, resist, resist this wave of their counterattack and then retreat."
"Don't panic, don't mess around, this kind of attack of theirs must be a momentum attack, and it is impossible to use it often, otherwise it would have been used a long time ago, and it would not have waited until now."
On the contrary, the morale of the Drow Elves has fallen to a low point, and they are all experts in conspiracies.
The second Lei Chong's main gun fell, they connected the whole situation together.
The other party obviously has all kinds of powerful tactics, but instead of going into battle together at the beginning, they completely defeated them, but added fuel to it, throwing weights into it little by little, in order to lure out their main force, especially the coach, and then solve it with one shot.
The opponent's plan has succeeded, and they will have no scruples, and will play all the hole cards at once to create as much damage to them as possible.
Because if you were yourself, you would do the same.
As it turns out, they weren't guessing.
Oh!
With the sound of a mournful and desolate flute, the black fog on the battlefield began to condense, and a red dragon shadow slowly appeared, and after a little adaptation, it quickly rose into the air, swooping down towards the densest place of the drow elves, and opened its mouth to be a shadow dragon breath.
This kind of black dragon flame is the kind of highly condensed negative energy, once it is sprayed, it will start burning uncontrollably from the inside out, directly penetrating into the soul.
Once killed, an undead shadow emerges from it, fighting for the red dragon shadow.
At the same time, a series of black shadows appeared out of thin air, and soon assembled into a new corps, completely composed of shadows, led by a dozen or so, and even the shadow knights with mounts, just like the night shadow warriors, these shadow knights and shadow soldiers all hold weapons condensed by shadows in their hands, although most of them loom, the degree of cohesion is not the same as that of the night shadow warriors, but it is definitely not to be underestimated.
With a heavy swing of the Shadow Whip from the Shadow Knight at the head, the Shadow Legion immediately surrounded the Drow Elves.
There was a violent sound of horses' hooves from the direction of Misnoel, and a Tassel cavalry of less than a hundred men, led by a Thundertooth cavalry, trotted all the way to the battlefield, which was one of the few that joined the war in the normal way.
The Tower of Domination lit up again, dark clouds converging over the battlefield, and thunderbolts fell in zigzags.
No matter where those thunderbolts fell, whether they were targets or not, their hearts couldn't help but tremble, and they instinctively dodged around, and they were now frightened by the previous thunder rush main gun, and they were afraid that the other party would come again.
When the first lightning fell, they recognized the true origin of the spell.
Summoning Thunderstorms.
A five-ring spell that continuously summons lightning to attack the enemy, one per round, and damages 5D10 (5-50) per pass.
Compared to the lightning main gun, this damage is naturally a bit insufficient, but the trouble caused is not small at all, because they are on the battlefield, and there are other enemies, when they are struck by a falling lightning, their enemies will not only not give up attacking them, but will take the opportunity to beat the water dogs.
Strangely, every now and then, a lightning bolt would suddenly deflect and shoot towards the Tower of Domination, disappearing without a trace like a stone sinking into the sea.
Knowledgeable people, seeing this scene, suddenly had unbearable worries in their hearts.
The previous kind of terrifying thunder rush was not like an ordinary spell, even if it was a legendary spell, I had never heard of such a terrifying single attack, it was more like an energy storage attack, releasing the stored power at one time.
Lilith, Lord of Medusa, is this kind of knowledgeable person, and a flash appeared directly in the sky, facing the Misty Noel Rebooter who was chased by the Night Shadow Sky Cavalry, and said loudly: "Lord Gavin, why don't we make a deal." ”
"That's how honest you are in making a deal?" Gavin asked rhetorically with a sneer.
He and Luna now look like they're in a mess, but in reality, they're in danger.
The Nightshade Cavalry's abilities are as strong as they are, but they are limited by the speed at which they can fly.
In this area, the Half Moon Pony has an absolute advantage, and he doesn't even use the free sprint too much, just turning on the force of nature to turn the other party around.
But he didn't dare to completely get rid of the other party, because the opponent's single killing ability was too terrifying, even if it was General Strina and them, it was difficult for them to support the five swords under his hands, and the strength of this Night Shadow warrior was already close to that of a legendary warrior.
This was an unplanned existence, but fortunately it only brought some casualties and did not have a fundamental impact on the entire battle situation.
"It was my mistake, Shadow, come back." Lord Medusa commanded.
The Nightshadow Sky Cavalry immediately stopped their pursuit, flew back to Lord Medusa, and disappeared in the next second.
Gavin, who possessed the Insight Gem, clearly saw that the Night Shadow Sky Cavalry was hovering behind Lord Medusa, and the Shadow Longbow in his hand was coldly aimed at him.
Gavin then asked, "Ms. Lilith, what do you want to do?" ”
"It's very simple, let my people go, I am willing to enter into an alliance with you, mutual non-aggression, and join forces against the poison-hardened blade Masogi Nas." Lord Medusa said with a smile like a flower.
"Hahaha......" Gavin couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Do you think I'm so stupid?" Stupid enough to believe in the covenant of a drow, especially a masked renegade, even Rose the Spider Queen you dare to betray, in this world, what else do you dare not betray? ”
"Who said I betrayed the Spider Queen? How can you be sure that what I have done is not Her divine will? Lord Medusa said meaningfully.
Well?!
Gavin's eyebrows suddenly couldn't help but raise, and as soon as she said this, what was originally certain immediately became uncertain.
According to the characteristics of Queen Rose's penchant for weaving the web of intrigue, it is not impossible for her to send a priestess to accept Viren's bewitchment and become his sacrifice to penetrate his interior.
But the Masked King is not a fool, and he will definitely examine and test these renegades before giving them trust.
Is she a pawn sent by Rose? Or is she pulling the flag herself? Or is it a double-dealing double agent?
Taking a deep breath and removing the distractions in his heart, Gavin sneered: "Whether you are loyal to Rose or to Viren, it doesn't make any difference to me, no matter what, you all have to stay here today." ”
"Who's to say it's different?" Lord Medusa opened this topic, naturally with his own deep meaning, "Since the city lord of Gavin knows my name, he should have a clear understanding of the situation in Mill Forest, Delnox City is only a part of Viren's forces, the weakest of the three cities.
Even if you annihilate the main force of Del Knox City here, what will you do with Del Knox City? Send troops to occupy it?
I admit that the troops in your hands are not weak, but it is okay to defend one city of Misty Snoel, divide the army to defend two cities, one is still located in the dark region of the Drow city, I am afraid that it will be overstretched, and it will be broken by each one if I am not careful, if I guess correctly, whether it is the large-scale teleportation before, or the long-distance energy storage strike just now, it is built on the tower of Domination of Misty Noel, and there is a limit to the scope.
If left alone, it won't be a few days before a large number of drow elves will settle in, and the Venom Blade will send more powerful generals to rule, and it will still pose a threat to the Misnord.
It will be different if you let my people go back, I will take Del Crox City, turn it into my city, I will lead them back to the arms of the spider queen, with us there as a buffer, the Quenching Blade will not dare to easily cross Del Nox City and launch an attack on Misty Snow. ”
Lord Medusa is very eloquent and coherent, and gets to the heart of the matter.
These situations do not need to be analyzed by her at all, and most of Gavin is clear.
The battle plan they formulated at the beginning was to lure the drow elves of Del Nox City to the city of Misnoel, use the powerful power of the Tower of Domination to catch him off guard, and annihilate their main force as much as possible, so that they could not continue to blockade Delnoel in a short period of time, and usher in a period of stable development for themselves.
As for taking the opportunity to fight back and take Del Knox City, it was not in their plan at all.
With this amount of troops, they have to rely on the Lost Locks and the Tower of Domination of Misnoel, and then divide their forces to occupy the city, which is to find trouble for themselves.
However, if according to Lord Medusa's proposal, the three cities of the Drow Elves will be divided from the inside, and even form an antagonistic relationship with each other, which will be extremely beneficial to the Lost Noel.
But according to the cunning nature of the drow elves, no one is sure whether this is a delaying tactic by Lord Medusa, in order to let his descendants withdraw safely from the battlefield.
As if seeing through Gavin's concerns, Lord Medusa smiled more cunning and beautifully: "Lord City, I know what you are worried about, you don't need to trust me, you just need to believe in the ambition of a drow elf, a priestess of the spider queen, and a masked renegade of the masked lord, do you think that once I occupy a city, I will easily give up my rule?"
The power of Del Knox City has been seriously damaged, which is already a doomed thing, especially if I have already seen the strength of the city lord with my own eyes, will I still start the battle lightly? ”
"You're the best lobbyist I've ever met, not one of them." Gavin couldn't help but sigh freely, it was the first time he had seen someone turn their racial shortcomings into advantages, at least in this special situation, the drow elves' greed, suspicion, power and many other negative personalities have become a tool to believe.
Whether Lord Medusa is a pawn of the Queen of the Spider or a follower of the Lord of the Masked, one thing is certain: she has great ambitions, and only this ambition will urge her to take great risks and play with fire between the two gods.
And suspicion is not one-sided, but two-sided.
With an absolute advantage, he opened the net and put Lord Medusa and her descendants back in Del Nox City, making him the new city lord.
The rulers of the other two cities will surely wonder if this beautiful snake has secretly reached a secret agreement with him.
As long as there is a seed of doubt on both sides, the rest will be easy.
After all, it's not just the Drow elves who can play intrigues, they do.
"Thank you." The smile on Lord Medusa's glamorous face became even sweeter, and even the snake's hair was a little excited, because when the other party praised her so much, the other party had already made a decision in his heart, "In order to show sincerity, I have a new cooperation proposal." ”
"Oh? Let's hear it. Gavin looked interested, and the longer it dragged on, the better it would be for him.
Not only does the situation on the battlefield take the absolute initiative, but the Thunderwood in the Tower of Domination will also complete a new round of energy storage.
As long as he masters the big killing weapon, whether it is fighting or fighting, the initiative is in his hands.
"After I take Del Knox City, I hope to be able to carry out a personnel exchange, you will give me the female drow in your hands, and I will give you those shadowless male drow elves, so that they can all become real ghosts." Lord Medusa's new proposal came as a complete surprise to Gavin.
Gavin thought about it for a moment and asked, "What's the swap ratio?" ”
This time, it was finally Lord Medusa's turn to show a stunned look and said, "Of course one for another, do you still need to ask about this?" ”
"Impossible." Gavin sneered and said, "There is no good in the world that you can take it all by yourself, not only can you dispose of those who oppose you forever, but you can also change a group of female drow elves back, and as soon as you change hands, you will be transformed into Medusa who is absolutely loyal to you, no matter how this transaction is counted, I am more at a loss, one to two, this ratio is more appropriate." ”
He directly clicked on Lord Medusa's little abacus, saying that he knew that she had a little secret to transform women into Medusa.
"Haha...... I didn't expect the city lord to be a shrewd businessman, but you only counted my account, not your side, since you have a shadow on your side, you should know the difference between the shadow and the real ghost, before swallowing the body, the shadow is just a clumsy imitation, it has a growth limit, but it is different when it becomes a real shadow, they will have the opportunity to grow into a night shadow warrior like the shadow. ”
Lord Medusa argued, "Besides, isn't it also extremely beneficial for you to permanently destroy a drow elf?" One to one is fair and reasonable. ”
"It's just a chance to grow, and it's not really becoming, even if there is no exchange of ladies, as long as they are our enemies, it will be a matter of time before they are turned into real ghosts." Gavin also refused to let go, "Besides, we can kill these female drow captives, double the number of phantoms I have, and if you don't mind asking for a bunch of corpses, we can exchange them one-on-one." ”
"No, I'm going to live." Lord Medusa shook her head without hesitation and refused, only women with intact soul consciousness could be transformed into Medusa.
Those who have lost their shadows have a crippled soul consciousness, and even if they are resurrected, they cannot be transformed into Medusa.
"Then there is no way, this deal, I am not profitable, why do I want to do it with you?" Gavin asked rhetorically.
"Because the more steady my heels are, the safer you will be with Snowy." Lord Medusa's eyes rolled and he found a new reason.
Gavin laughed and said, "Even if I let you go today, it doesn't mean that we are close allies, at best, we are using each other, or the kind full of all kinds of uncertainties, who knows, will you turn your head and throw yourself back into the arms of Your Excellency the Poison Blade?" Don't tell me about long-term benefits, I want benefits that are close at hand and can be seen. ”
Lord Medusa couldn't help grinding her teeth, this young rebooter was far more troublesome than she imagined, slippery and cunning like a drow elf in half-elf skin, "Three for two, this is my final offer, if it is successful, we will do this deal, if it is ......"
"Deal." Gavin's cheerfulness made Lord Medusa wonder if he had quoted the price higher.
Gavin also gave the place of the transaction, "When you have the goods ready, send them here, and someone will respond to you." ”
This showed Lord Medusa in disguise that her previous guess was not speculation, and that they had the ability to monitor this place.
Their failure this time was not accidental, but an inevitability.
Because they chose the battlefield on someone else's home field, everything was carried out under the noses of others.
Fortunately, he made two preparations, otherwise even if he didn't explain here today, he would have confessed the family wealth he had worked so hard to accumulate in the past few years, and if he became the commander of the light pole, the difficulty of seizing the dominance of Del Knox would be greatly increased.
Lord Medusa glanced at the increasingly unfavorable situation on his side below and said, "Lord of the City, can we go down and stop and let my people go?" ”
"There's no hurry." Gavin stared coldly at the Night Shadow Sky Cavalry, who was still in a state of invisibility, and said, "You've only opened your conditions, and my conditions haven't been opened yet!" ”
Lord Medusa said with a stunned expression, "Haven't we already reached an agreement?" ”
"Reach an agreement? Who did it with you? All the while, you're just talking to yourself. Gavin said with a cold face, "Empty white teeth, you just want me to let you and your subordinates leave, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" As I said earlier, I don't look at the long-term interests, I only look at the immediate ones. ”
"What do you want?" Lord Medusa could no longer maintain his previous smile, and asked with a cold face.
"I want him to stay." Gavin pointed behind Lord Medusa.
To outsiders, it may seem empty, but both Gavin and Lord Medusa know that there is a powerful presence there.
