Chapter 21: The Siege

After the Giants returned to the settlement with the gnome gathering team, they were immediately received by the church's higher-ups. The church hierarchy didn't say much, and immediately began interrogating the bound pair of gnomes.

The main method of interrogation is dream building!

The Giant Priest did not remove the dream-building spell from these gnomes, but used his spiritual power to probe into the dream-building realm constructed by the dream-building technique. Because although this dream was constructed under the guidance of the priest, everything in the dream still relied on the memories of the gnomes. Therefore, as long as they probe their spiritual power into the dreams of these gnomes, they can intuitively see the memories of the gnomes. If the gnome's dream has nothing to do with what the giant wants, the priest can also use his psychic power to guide the dream to a certain extent. In this way, the gnome's dreams become an unprotected database, at the mercy of giants.

Half a day later, all the doubts of the church were solved, and a lot of key information was obtained. For example, the dwarfs live in the underground Shijie, have a civilization more advanced than the giants, are about to start a war with the dark elves, and are rushing to control the magic cannon......

......

There is no day or night in the underground, shijie is always in darkness. There are a lot of plants growing here, and there is no light out of it, and it is no different from the ground. All the light of Shijie in the underground is almost all emitted by magic plants or magic ores, and occasionally there are rare underground volcanoes.

In the faint light, a large group of dark elves made their way through the forest. Their speed in the forest has increased faster than on flat ground, as if the forest could not hinder them in any way. Elves seem to be born to be the darlings of the forest!

A city made of stone came into view of the Dark Elves.

A dark elf at the front of the group lowered his voice and shouted to the dark elves behind, "Stop, rest at the edge of the forest for a while, listen to my command later, and attack together." ”

"It's the Great Elder!"

The dark elves behind answered in unison, and then dispersed to rest.

In the other two directions of Gnome Stone, there are also two dark elf teams resting at the edge of the forest near Gnome Stone.

It wasn't until most of the Dark Elves had recovered to their best condition that the Great Elder of the Dark Elves stood up. She drew an arrow from behind her and spread a special plant sap evenly over the tip of the arrow. Then she used a man-tall bow to shoot the arrow into the sky.

After rubbing rapidly against the air, the arrow, which had been coated with a special sap, glowed intensely.

After the Great Elder saw that the arrow was glowing normally, he turned around and shouted, "Start attacking!"

Seeing the Great Elder's previous movements, the Dark Elves had already begun to organize their weapons and prepare to attack. Now that the Great Elder gave the order, these dark elves immediately began to attack.

A group of Dark Elves rushed out of the forest as fast as they could, scattering a handful of plant seeds, and then unleashing the magic that almost everyone in the Dark Elves could use to start spawning plants. In a short time, a long ladder of vines and plants rose from the ground against the outer wall of the stone city.

Then some of the Dark Elves also ran under the wall and went up the ladder with the Dark Elves who gave birth to the rattan ladder.

The gnomes are not vegetarians either, and they were discovered by the dark elves when they rushed out of the forest. By the time the Dark Elves were about to ascend the ladder, the walls were already filled with dwarf warriors in thick armor and armed with hand cannons. As soon as the gnomes saw that the dark elves were climbing up the ladder, they began to take aim. Before they could fire the cannons, a rain of arrows came from the edge of the forest.

Under the dense rain of arrows, countless dwarf warriors fell to the ground with arrows, completely losing their combat effectiveness. In the blink of an eye, there were so many casualties, and the dwarf warriors on the city walls were also in chaos. ...,

Taking advantage of the chaos on the city walls, the dark elves who climbed the vine ladder each exerted all their strength to climb the city wall before the dwarf warriors could restore order.

But the dwarfs were able to win Zuihou in the last attack of the dark elves, and it was not so easy to win. After panicking for a while, they quickly restored order and began to activate the hand cannon in their hands.

The Dark Elf archer at the edge of the forest fired a single arrow, and immediately left where he had been standing, bending his bow and arrows again.

A loud roar erupted at the edge of the forest, and behind a huge bright light, only a one-meter-square pit remained. This is the magic cannon on the city wall. The dwarf followed the trajectory of the rain of arrows and aimed the magic guide cannon here, but it was empty.

But the Dark Elf archers didn't move too far because of time. So in the roar caused by the magic cannon hitting the ground, their shooting preparations were all interrupted. Without their cover, the dark elves who crawled to the wall were truly in crisis.

A faint flash of light flashed, and the Dark Elf warrior who climbed the vine ladder fell directly halfway.

The Great Elder of the Dark Elves, who was standing at the edge of the forest and presiding over the overall situation, saw this huge casualty, his eyes darkened, but his face did not change at all, and he still calmly issued one order after another.

Because of the height of the gnomes, the entire stone city is a reduced version of a normal human city, and the same is true for the city walls. The city wall is only ten meters, and it doesn't take much time for the dark elves who are good at climbing to climb it.

While half of the Dark Elves who climbed the rattan ladder were shot down by the gnomes, the remaining half climbed the edge of the wall at high speed.

When the dark elves go up to the city walls, it is hand-to-hand combat. The dark elves had already climbed the city walls, and the gnomes' magic cannons did not dare to hit the walls. In the face of the elves who crisscross the forest, the truly powerless dwarfs, even if they wear thick armor, can only be slaughtered.

"Oh no! They actually climbed up. Go down, don't get in my way!"

The dwarf warriors, who understood their inferiority, ignored the enemy troops behind them and their respective captains, and squeezed under the city wall, and the scene was out of control for a while. Even the dwarfs who controlled the magic cannon didn't dare to stay longer, and squeezed under the city wall with the flow of people.

Just as the dark elves who climbed the wall were about to start killing, a burst of spiritual power swept by, and they immediately became dizzy and visionary in front of them.

"Be careful, it's an illusion!"

A dark elf shook its head violently, and quickly pulled something tightly wrapped in leaves from its waist. He hurriedly unwrapped the wrapped leaves, and a foul smell immediately spread rapidly around him. Smelling this foul smell, the dark elves, who were already dizzy, vomited one after another. Thankfully, they hadn't eaten much before the war, and now they only retched a few times, then covered their mouths and noses and began to hunt down the gnomes.

The illusion of one of the two trump cards of the dwarf clan was easily broken by the dark elves.

The gnomes who were squeezing under the city walls were not very lucky, and they did not expect the dark elves to make such a move. Smelling the stench, they also immediately vomited. It's just that before the war began, they had a full meal. As a result, the dwarf warriors were all vomited by their companions and let out all sorts of miserable howls. On the side of the gnomes, there is chaos again!

In the other two places, the bright arrows shot by the Great Elder from a distance also began to attack together, and the whole process was also like this.

An old dwarf standing not far from the city wall, looking at the commotion on the city wall with a grim face, then turned around and hurried towards the center of the city.

Now the enemy army has climbed the city wall, but there is no chaos in the city, and there is still an eerie tranquility.

The old dwarf walked to a heavily guarded building in the center of the city, and did not stop, but walked briskly inside.

The guard at the door saw that it was the old man, and immediately saluted loudly: "I've seen the three elders!"

The old dwarf didn't react, and walked directly into the building, into a huge and bright hall. When he saw the long beard sitting in the center of the hall, he immediately bowed and saluted, "I've seen the patriarch!"

"How's the situation?" the patriarch didn't get up, but asked in a deep voice.

The old dwarf's face darkened, and Zuihou said softly: "They don't know what to use, emitting a foul smell, breaking the illusion!"

The dwarf patriarch waved his right hand and said indifferently: "Okay! When the other two elders come back, let's do what Jihua does! It's just that the four elders haven't returned yet, otherwise Jihua will be much smoother." ”

The old dwarf was startled, his eyes were full of sadness and fullness, and he did not refute, but quietly stepped aside.
