Chapter 728: The First Battle Site, Dragonspear Castle (10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)

According to the investigation of scouts and detectives, except for the monsters and barbarian tribes gathered in the Neverwinter Forest, other places have been basically cleared out by a large number of adventurers who appeared from nowhere.

If nothing unexpected happens, we may not have to worry about threats from the wild for ten or twenty years.

Lord Nasir is currently imprisoned somewhere in the Neverwinter Forest.

In addition, my people also discovered dark elves and evil auras from the Abyss where the enemies gathered.

This means that they are most likely summoning demons to form an army.

If we take into account the creator race that is hiding somewhere, the threats and troubles facing Neverwinter may be worse than imagined.

What do we do now?

A man with dark skin and dreadlocks stood in the castle hall, reporting the latest news to the woman who was sitting on the throne, temporarily acting as the lord and exuding a frightening aura.

His name was Airion Zhende, and he was the chief officer under Lord Nasir, who was responsible for collecting and spying on intelligence.

In the past, when Luskan was still ruled by the Arcane Brotherhood, his main task was to keep a close eye on the spies and assassins sent by the other party, to ensure that the top leaders of Neverwinter would not be assassinated, kidnapped or coerced inexplicably, and to ensure that an early warning could be issued in the first place when the other party sent out troops.

However, as Luskan fell into Zuo Si's hands, the two sides also concluded a series of alliances ranging from economic to military, and their focus of work shifted to the areas around Neverwinter.

Especially the port area where all kinds of people gather, as well as the forest outside the city and the mountainous area called Cliff Port.

After learning that Lord Nasir had been kidnapped, Ayreen Zhende immediately activated the entire intelligence network to collect clues, hoping to find the location of his loyal monarch as quickly as possible so that Neverwinter could send people to rescue him.

Unfortunately, Lord Nasir did not find them, but instead discovered a large number of enemies hiding deep in the forest.

If the legions from the Empire had not been stationed there not long ago, considering the current state of Neverwinter's slack military preparations and the city defense force of less than 800 people whose main job was to maintain street law and order, it would probably not be able to hold out for even a few days.

But this cannot be blamed on Lord Nasir and those advisers and senior executives.

After all, ever since signing the agreement with Zuo Si, Neverwinter's basic policy has been to reduce military spending, leave all of its security to the other party, and pay a large sum of money every year as protection money.

In this way, they can invest all the saved expenses into production and construction, and also release a large number of young and middle-aged labor force.

After so many years, the two sides have been cooperating very happily.

Most importantly, Neverwinter prospered at a visible pace, becoming the most important trade node between Luskan and Waterdeep.

The surrounding towns also came together and gradually formed a large urban circle.

Later, the city was nominally incorporated into the Empire, which made all the residents of Neverwinter believe that there were no enemies that could threaten them anymore, so they naturally had no interest in increasing the number of troops.

In contrast, they prefer to wave their gold coins to Athkatla to buy various advanced machines and technologies, and then bring them back to use the location advantages and the ability to trade directly with the barbarian tribes to produce more exquisite fur coats, hats, boots, gloves, leather products, high-end furniture and other goods.

By expanding market share and possession, the company strengthens its position within the empire and trade alliance.

In other words, the way of thinking of the people in Neverwinter has been transformed and has begun to move towards commercialization, marketization, and trade.

Their idea is very simple.

Since you can buy security by spending money, why waste time, energy, and people to build an overly large army? Isn't it enough to just engage in production, expand the scale of business and make more money?

In this way, there would be no need to fight and die in wars, and wealth would continue to increase, so that everyone from nobles and merchants to ordinary people could live a good life.

Moreover, they found that as long as they were financially strong and occupied a large enough share of trade, traditional powerful city-states in the North, such as Silvermoon City and Waterdeep City, would show respect to them, and nearby small towns would follow Neverwinter's lead.

So to some extent, Neverwinter's approach was not wrong, and it actually created a small economic miracle, making their influence in trade close to that of Waterdeep and Silvermoon.

It's a pity that the residents of Neverwinter apparently forgot that in Faerun, a place with natural disasters and unexpected events every now and then, it would be meaningless to make more money or make the city more prosperous without the protection power that matches the wealth.

Often, all these efforts will be immediately wasted when a disaster strikes.

Throughout history, Neverwinter has experienced many terrible disasters.

This magical plague and the awakening of the creator race are among them.

If Zuo Si had not appeared, the city of ghosts would have been infiltrated in the future.

The eruption of Mount Hoteno razed the entire city to the ground, and it was finally rebuilt thanks to the efforts of the "Protector of the Country" Daggart Wujin.

If it had been Waterdeep or Silvermoon, a disaster of this magnitude would have been nipped in the bud long before it even began.

Especially Waterdeep. The underground maze built by the mad wizard Halaster Blackrob is enough to destroy Neverwinter countless times.

Not to mention the inter-dimensional portal that suddenly opened in DR 1358, and the large group of gargoyles and tengu that rushed out from another world.

What followed was another turbulent year of fighting and struggle among the gods.

But what is the result?

The city of Waterdeep was not destroyed, not even serious damage was caused.

All this is thanks to the two chosen people of the magic goddess Khelbourne and Leila, as well as a large number of high-level spellcasters.

Many guys who are ambitious and want to cause trouble will actively avoid Waterdeep City just by hearing the names of these strong men.

Silvermoon City has also not seen any major turmoil for a long time due to the intimidation of Alustriel and many high-level wizards.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

After looking at other people's leaders and then at his own Lord Nasir who couldn't control the situation at all, it would be strange if Arian Zhende didn't have some thoughts in his mind.

Therefore, after confirming the power that Erebus now possessed, he was the first senior official to clearly express his willingness to pledge allegiance.

Because he firmly believed that if Neverwinter wanted to be as safe as Waterdeep and Silvermoon, a strong leader was essential.

Although Lord Nasir did a good job and was a tolerant and upright person, he was unable to deter potential enemies.

To be exact, anyone who wanted to cause trouble in Neverwinter would not take his personal strength seriously.

Eribes quickly marked the map, then calmly asked, "How are the barbarians of the Uthgar Black Lion Clan doing?"

"The small tribes among them are moving closer to the large tribe that owns the fortress. They have now formed a defensive stronghold around the edge of the forest where they can support each other. It seems that they have not yet sided with the enemy.

However, there are not many adult warriors in the Black Lion Clan, and there are basically no spellcasters.

Once the enemy launches a full-scale attack, we will definitely not be able to withstand it.

And judging from the orcs and dark elves that suddenly appeared, there must be a tunnel deep in the forest that connects to the Underdark."

Aierian Zhende told all the information he had in one go.

"Interesting! Our enemies should still be gathering their forces, otherwise they should launch a surprise attack immediately before Neverwinter can react."

Eribes made a straightforward judgment.

Because the Neverwinter Forest is too close to Neverwinter City, and there is a big river connecting the two.

If you spend a little time building a simple boat or raft, it only takes a few hours to go downstream and land directly at the port to launch a full-scale invasion.

"I completely agree with your judgment.

In fact, according to the analysis given by the Imperial Intelligence Agency, the entire Underdark should now be under the control of the enemy.

Especially those insidious and cunning drow, who are continuously transporting large armies of monsters such as orcs, goblins, gnolls, etc. from other parts of the continent of Faerun to the west coast.

In the area around Dragonspear Castle, the dark elves who believed in Eilistraee had issued a warning a few days ago, saying that their spies had discovered unusual movements in the city of Eredlin.

Taro, the general who had made great achievements during the restoration of King Shane VII, also made a few additions.

As the highest commander of the reinforcements sent by the West Coast Empire, he already knew what kind of situation he would face when he set out, but he was not nervous at all.

The reason was simple! Among the 10,000 reinforcements brought this time, there were 500 dragon knights alone, and there were 20 aerial gunboats that could provide long-range firepower coverage.

The rest included three thousand Iron Raptors who could run at extremely fast speeds in dense forests (the Raptors came from Azeroth, cloned, ripened, and fully transformed with oil), two thousand heavily armored warriors from the most elite Guards (all of whom underwent Astartes transformation surgery), a six hundred spellcaster legion composed of mages and warlocks, and a firearms force of nearly four thousand people.

With this strength, he could hold out for a while even if he was dragged into a bloody battle between demons and devils.

Therefore, Taro did not take the gathering enemies seriously at all.

In his opinion, no matter how many enemies there were, they would never be able to defeat the legion under his command.

"What? Dragonspear Castle is also facing the threat of a possible invasion?"

Aierian Zhende's eyes widened in surprise.

General Taylor nodded slightly: “Yes.

It's not just Dragonspear Castle.

To be precise, all the passages on the entire west coast that are connected to the Underdark may become the place where the enemy launches the first round of attack.

To this end, the Empire has issued warnings to its dwarf allies living underground, including Mithril Hall, Adeba Castle, and Felba Castle, asking them to prepare for battle.

Most importantly, we currently do not know the enemy's troop distribution, so we can only closely monitor all known tunnels connecting to the Underdark."

"Wait! Eredlin City? I seem to have heard of this dark elf city somewhere."

Airian Zhende immediately fell into deep thought.

About ten seconds later, he suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "Ah! I remember now!

This city is located in the northern Underdark, with the Trollhowl Wood above it, and is the closest drow city to Dragonspear Castle.

And it is very, very special, and it does not completely believe in the spider goddess Rose.

Two-thirds of the faith is divided between Ghaunadaur, the god of the ooze, and Velen."

“That’s right.

It seems you are well-informed.

It is precisely because of the constant infighting among the drow families in this underground city that the believers of Eilistraee are able to sneak in to gather information.

Now Neverwinter faces a choice.

Should we take the initiative to attack immediately and defeat the enemy before they gain a firm foothold, or wait here for the enemy to gather and attack us? "

General Taro immediately turned his attention to Eribes.

Because this dark guard who is loyal to the Emperor of the Empire is the one who truly holds the final decision-making power.

"If we take the initiative to attack now, will the creator race hiding in the underground of Neverwinter suddenly come out to attack us?"

After thinking for a moment, Eribes asked a crucial question.

General Taro answered without hesitation: "It's hard to say. Under normal circumstances, they should not be able to break the seal easily. But since there may be gods behind the scenes, we can't rule out the possibility that they will suddenly rush out and cut off our retreat."

"In that case, let's just wait for them to attack us."

After much hesitation, Aribes finally chose a relatively conservative strategy.

After all, her first goal was to ensure that Neverwinter would not fall into the hands of the enemy.

What's more, the longer the time drags on, the lower the possibility that Lord Nasir will survive. It would be best if he died directly at the hands of Deszel.

As for sending people to rescue...

Not to mention that the exact place cannot be found now, even if it is found, it will never be told to those who are still loyal to Lord Nasir.

Because in the eyes of the evil-turned Eribes, Lord Nasir was as weak and incompetent as his worthless fiancé, and should have abdicated long ago.

While Neverwinter was preparing for war, Dragonspear Castle, standing next to the High Wasteland, had already entered a complete state of war.

Because just last night, a group of dark elf assassins suddenly poured out from the tunnel, and in less than an hour they killed hundreds of people who were still asleep. They also set fires and created chaos everywhere, and released all the goblin, orc, and werewolf slaves locked in cages to burn, kill, and loot.

This terrible riot lasted until two o'clock in the morning in the late night, and it slowly subsided when the Eilistraee believers arrived from the underground city and joined the battle.

Of course, this did not mean that all the drow assassins who launched the sneak attack were captured or killed, but that they chose to retreat on their own initiative.

You must know that the current Dragonspear Castle is not the half-abandoned and dilapidated fortress at the beginning, but the largest town on the trade route and the supplier of Underdark specialties after several years of development.

Moreover, after the establishment of the West Coast Empire, a large canal was built directly through the High Wastes, connecting the Winding River north of Baldur's Gate with the Deringbir River flowing through Daggerford.

This mega infrastructure project has transformed large tracts of the High Wasteland into fertile farmland for growing crops and cash crops.

Therefore, the losses of Dragonspear Castle last night were not just some houses, monster slaves and goods stored in warehouses, but also several huge barns for storing grain.

Looking at the white smoke rising from the ruins, the official sent to manage this place turned pale and asked without turning his head: "Ms. Kui Lu, I think you should give me a reasonable explanation.

How did those evil dark elves launch raids on surface towns directly through your cities? According to the agreement, one of your most important duties is to protect us from the dangers from the dark region.

At least we should issue early warning.”

“I’m so sorry.

This group of evil compatriots must have sneaked into our city among the refugees half a year ago.

However, they had not done anything suspicious or evil until last night when they suddenly took collective action.

It was obvious that these assassins were spies deliberately sent by the Spider Goddess.

Maybe it was intended to undermine the trust that we had worked so hard to build, or it could be a prelude to some more terrifying conspiracy.

Especially at times like this, we must not lose our composure."

Aoilu explained with an apologetic look on her face.

She obviously didn't expect that Rose had quietly extended her tentacles in without her noticing, and her first move was quite deadly.

Because this attack not only affected the relationship between the good drow and the surface races, but also created confusion and suspicion among the followers of Eilistraee.

After all, with this lesson, no one knows whether the other drow around are spies or assassins who secretly believe in Rose.

What's even more terrible is, if there are more dark elves escaping from the Underdark in the future, should we accept them?

If accepted, do we still need to use lie detector or memory reading to confirm the other party's identity?

Would this hurt the hearts of those who had come to Eilistra with so much difficulty? Most importantly, would this kind of detection really work?

What if Rose and her priests use divine magic to seal the spy's memory? There are too many problems to face and solve.

Unfortunately, the spider goddess Rose obviously has no intention of giving Eilistraee time to solve these problems.

A terrible crisis is approaching.

"You mean... the war has already begun?" the official asked in an uncertain tone.

Kui Lu nodded without hesitation: "Yes, the war has begun.

According to the scouts' reports, an army of more than tens of thousands of orcs and goblins is marching towards us at a very fast speed.

In a few hours, the enemy will reach the outskirts of the underground city and launch an attack.

We need support, lots and lots of it.”

This bad news immediately made the official frown: "But I can't spare any manpower now.

As you can see, the raid last night threw the entire Dragonspear Castle into chaos, and even the nearby villages began to fall into panic.

At times like this, I must prioritize restoring order.

Otherwise, once chaos breaks out, all kinds of theft, robbery, and riots will occur endlessly."

“Perhaps this is exactly what the enemy wanted by launching a night attack.

I suggest you report to the cabinet immediately and request reinforcements.

Because if all this was planned long ago, then the next attack will be as fierce as a storm.

After saying that, Kuilu placed one hand on her chest and bowed slightly, then immediately led her dark elf warriors, mages, and priests on the return journey.

After about an hour and a half, the team safely passed through the gate and entered the underground city that Rose regarded as a thorn in her side.

But before Kui Lu had time to catch her breath, Lirael, the Chosen One of Eilistraee, ran over in a hurry, panting and saying in a very urgent tone: "No... It's not good!

Two of our small fortresses near the Underdark's exit tunnels have been captured.

The other party not only used magic to open a big hole in the wall, but also had a large number of spider-like drow.

This means we're facing more than just orcs and goblins."

"Damn it! This is really troublesome."

Although Kuilu was mentally prepared, she still showed nervousness and anxiety.

Because if it were just goblins and orcs, with the solid walls of this underground city and the strong fighting power of the dark elves, it would not be a big problem to defend it.

After all, the underground world is not like the surface world, where there are many trees that can be cut down and made into siege weapons.

Normally, if you want to attack an underground city that has a favorable geographical location and tight defenses, you often need the assistance of a large number of spellcasters.

This is why the dark elves can become the overlords of the Underdark.

Apart from them, no other underground race can cultivate so many mages, warlocks and priests.

Therefore, orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears, gnolls, lizardmen, and other races that can stir up trouble in the surface world are only fit to be slaves of the drow in the underground world.

Neither duergar nor deep gnomes are afraid of any of these monsters if they appear alone.

But if they were followed by a group of dark elf masters, the situation would be completely different.

Just as Kuilu was thinking about how to respond, a dazzling light suddenly flashed near the city gate on the other side in the distance, followed by a shrill magic alarm that echoed in everyone's ears.

"Enemy attack!!! Everyone prepare for battle!"

A dark elf commander drew his weapon and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Just a second later, a large number of drow warriors armed with muskets quickly raised their guns and lined up waiting for the order to fire.

As true pragmatists, these dark-skinned elves are not like their surface relatives who have an inexplicable obsession with bows and arrows. They believe that muskets are crude weapons and not elegant at all, so they refuse to use them.

Just the opposite!

They are quite fond of this long-range weapon which can be suddenly pulled out for a sneak attack after being loaded.

It has almost reached the point where everyone has at least two.

Some crazy guys would even equip themselves with more than ten pistols, fixed anywhere on their bodies where they could be pulled out quickly.

This allows multiple attacks to be completed on multiple enemies in just a few seconds.

Soon, when the first batch of goblins serving as cannon fodder were driven towards the city gates and walls, loud noises erupted from the muskets.

Bang bang bang bang bang——

The red flames mixed with white smoke formed a shocking picture.

Since these guns and bullets all used "smoke powder" invented by Gunder, the god of craftsmen, the combustion would inevitably produce a large amount of smoke, choking many dark elves and causing them to cough uncontrollably.

There is no way around it, since these are the only two types of gunpowder that can be used on a large scale in the continent of Faerun.

The other type is gunpowder extracted from mineral veins and stones in the universe where the planet Azeroth is located.

However, due to its greater power, the second type is currently only supplied to the elite troops of the West Coast Empire.

As the muskets began to fire, the ordinary goblins who were driven towards the city walls began to fall down in large numbers. Some of them were even pierced two or even three times by the powerful lead-tipped bullets because they had no protective gear on.

Although according to the plan of the orcs and the hobgoblins, they wanted to use their overwhelming numerical advantage to let the ordinary goblins rush to the city wall first, so that they could follow up and avoid being shot by long-range weapons.

But the problem is that they obviously underestimated the power of firearms after countless improvements.

To be precise, the muskets used by Ilistri's believers are no longer the primitive and ancient muzzle-loading smoothbore rifles, but are closer to the bolt-action rifles or shotguns used in World War I and World War II, and the pistols are simple and reliable revolvers.

After all, these gun design drawings are ready-made. Zuo Si only needs to provide them to the inventors of the Gunde Church, and he will naturally get the corresponding finished products quickly.

This means that as long as there are enough soldiers using firearms to form a cross-fire network, the casualties that the enemy will have to pay if they want to rush close and start climbing the city wall will definitely be a terrifying number.

The Battle of the Somme is the most typical example of this.

However, since the followers of Eilistraee did not have powerful weapons such as heavy machine guns and artillery, after more than two thousand goblins were killed or injured, a small number of them finally managed to enter the shooting blind spot.

It’s not that the Empire doesn’t have such weapons, but their economic capabilities mean they simply can’t afford such expensive things.

"Watch out! Those goblins are crawling up from the right!"

"Pour the oil and light the fire! Burn them to death!"

"We must not let these guys come up!"

Along with the shouts, curses and roars of the dark elf defenders, dozens of drow immediately ran over from the rear carrying heavy wooden barrels and threw them directly down from the city walls and gates.

At first, the goblins thought that these were ordinary city defense tools such as rolling logs and stones, so after successfully dodging them, they laughed at their opponents for not being able to throw anything accurately.

But just a second later, they realized how wrong they were.

I saw several small bottles filled with red-hot glue thrown down from above, and they shattered with a bang.

Then, the raging fire suddenly turned the large area under the city wall into a horrific purgatory.

Since the wooden barrel would break during the falling process, a large amount of flammable oil would have already been scattered everywhere, so when it came into contact with the red-hot glue, it immediately burned violently and even caused a violent explosion.

The explosion splashed kerosene onto the city walls, directly burning the goblins and causing them to howl in pain.

After a while, the delicious smell of barbecue reached the noses of everyone around.

The horrifying scene frightened the orc chieftain who had come from other parts of Faerun so much that he was stunned. He immediately asked the drow guide beside him: "What is going on? Why do the enemies have so many terrible weapons?"

“It was provided to these traitors by the West Coast Empire.

But fear not. These weapons are powerful, but they are very expensive.

If used frequently, it will break down very quickly.

As long as we continue to attack fiercely, they won't be able to hold out for long."

Zhuoer's guide pretended to be relaxed and comforted them.

However, it was not difficult to tell from the sinister and cunning flash in his eyes that he was simply trying to trick the other party into committing suicide.

Because Rose's followers had already thoroughly understood the underground city before them.

Especially the most threatening amount of firearms, ammunition and grease.

So in the plan of the spider goddess Rose, the purpose of these orcs and goblins is to exchange their lives for bullets and kerosene.

"Send all the goblins up immediately!"

The orc chieftain turned to the hobgoblin warlord and made a demand.

But the latter sneered and questioned: "Why? Even if these guys don't have much combat power, they are still my men. Unless you send people to join us, I refuse to send more cannon fodder to die."

It is obvious that the orcs and goblins are not of the same mind.

After all, their gods had been hostile for a long time, and there was fierce competition for the same ecological niche in the wilderness.

Relatively speaking, the evil and lawful hobgoblins are much stronger than the chaotic orcs.

With equal numbers, the former can often crush the latter with their organization and discipline.

Therefore, the earth elves look down on the orcs and think that they are basically a group of rabble.

"Okay! Then I will send two thousand orc warriors to follow your goblins. Should that satisfy you?"

After staring at the ferocious one-eye for a long time, the orc chieftain finally compromised.

Being able to climb to this position means that he possesses a level of cunning and slyness that ordinary orcs don't have, and he knows when to be strong and when to give in.

You must know that this joint action comes from the highest oracle of Gruumsh. If anyone dares to sabotage it, he may be killed and replaced by his own deputies or other orcs in minutes.

This situation has occurred frequently in many orc tribes that have not responded actively.

As an orc who prided himself on being smart, he didn't want to be one of them.

The hobgoblin warlord nodded in satisfaction, "Very good! This is what cooperation should look like.

But the addition of orcs alone is not enough.

The dark elves' divine arts and magic are also needed to cooperate.

Especially [Protective Arrow], [Reverse Arrow], [Resist Energy Damage], and [Protection from Energy Damage].

With these spells, our warriors can ignore all fire damage and ranged attacks, rush directly to the city wall for close combat, and give full play to the advantage in numbers.

And once the city wall becomes a melee, those spider drow can take the opportunity to jump into the city and create chaos.

By then, we can take down the city gates with the help of both insiders and outsiders, and the city will fall completely in no time."

It has to be said that in terms of tactical proficiency, the lawful evil hobgoblins are clearly much stronger than the chaotic orcs and dark elves, and they can see at a glance the weakness of the combination of guns and kerosene.

You have to know that the continent of Faerun is a world full of supernatural powers.

Once magic is added, many seemingly indestructible fortresses and cities will immediately become full of loopholes.

You think you can rely on advanced guns and cannons to crush a group of primitive people who are still stuck in the age of cold weapons, but in fact, once they add arcane and divine magic, they can immediately rush in with a dense firepower network and kill indiscriminately.

Especially the three-ring protective spell [Reverse Arrow], once cast, will immediately bounce back to the shooter as long as it is hit by a ranged weapon.

"No problem! Our mages and priests will be happy to provide such assistance."

The drow guide raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a cruel and bloodthirsty smile.

When the grease under the city wall burned out and the flames were completely extinguished, the second group of organized troops immediately launched a charge.

Just like before, the ordinary goblins were still being driven to run in the front.

But the difference is that there are quite a number of orcs mixed in.

They wore solid armor provided by the drow and carried sophisticated weapons, some of which even had +1+2 or even +3 enchantment levels.

Of course, these equipments cannot be seen in public and can only be used in the dark underground world.

"Concentrate your firepower! Attack those orcs first!"

The followers of Eilistraee obviously knew who the real threat was, and they turned their guns and fired at the strong orcs first.

But after this round of shooting, many orcs did fall, but they themselves were also killed by the bullets that bounced back from the [Reverse Arrow] protection, and hundreds of them were killed, and the number of those injured and unable to move was several times that number.

"Ah!!!! Damn it! These guys are enchanted with protective magic!"

"I have broken my leg!"

"Pastor! This guy needs medical attention! His intestines are leaking out!"

Suddenly, there were wailing sounds everywhere on the city wall. The originally dense firepower network suddenly had gaps, and the ground was dyed red with blood.

"How could this happen! He was fine just now!"

Lirael watched the bloody and cruel scene in disbelief.

As the little princess of Baenre, the first family in Menzoberranzan, although she had witnessed many of her compatriots executing slaves and killing each other, she had never truly seen war.

Especially when the situation was such that our side had the upper hand but suddenly there was a reversal, we couldn't help but fell into panic.

Fortunately, Kuilu was already accustomed to dealing with such situations. She walked straight to the wall where blood was flowing, and used her magic to treat the wounded while boosting morale and stabilizing the defense line. When she encountered orcs rushing up, she would swing her weapons to cut the opponent's head directly, or release silver fire to burn them to death.

It didn't take long for people's hearts to calm down.

Even though a considerable number of orcs and goblins had already rushed to the top of the city wall, there was no collapse.

Instead, all the dark elf defenders were fighting bravely, and the reserve troops behind them were also continuously deployed.

There is no doubt that Kuilu showed Lirael by example what a voter should do.

The latter was immediately encouraged, and quickly closed his eyes and entered a state of concentration on casting a spell, and began to shoot deadly fireballs, lightning, and poisonous clouds from his hands, easily killing large groups of enemies.

Just as Lirael was about to cast a high-level spell to summon elemental creatures to help defend the city, a huge black shadow suddenly leaped over her head.

Before she could react, a male drow with a sword in his upper body and a spider in his lower body rushed over, trying to kill her by slitting her throat.

"careful!"

Following Kuilu's loud reminder, Lirael woke up instantly and fell to the ground and turned over, barely avoiding the sword falling from the sky.

Almost at the same time, she drew out the long sword at her waist and stabbed it into the opponent's huge spider's abdomen at lightning speed.

Puff! After a muffled sound, a large amount of white viscos liquid gushed out from the wound.

The spider elf screamed in pain and its entire body began to twitch uncontrollably.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lirael swiftly swung her sword twice and cut off the two limbs on the opponent's right side, causing the spider elf to completely lose balance and fall to one side.

When the latter's height dropped to a place where she could reach, she quickly jumped up and completed the decapitation attack. Her movements were so clean and neat that she didn't look like a mage at all.

After all, she is also a chosen one of Eilistraee.

The most famous thing about the Dark Girl, besides not wearing any clothes, is her sword dance that is as beautiful yet deadly as a dance. It is impossible not to learn it.

Just when Lirael completed her first kill using the sword as a weapon, and her body and brain were in an extremely excited state due to the influence of adrenaline, she suddenly discovered that there was not just one spider elf jumping into the city, but so many that she could not count them at all.

Since these guys have the ability to climb walls at will like spiders, they can easily enter the city during the melee and attack the defenders from the rear.

Because of the appearance of the spider elves, the originally peaceful streets immediately fell into chaos.

They captured more than a dozen drow children who had no idea of the danger coming and tore them to pieces alive with extremely brutal means. Their bloody corpses were thrown directly at the entrance of the temple as a humiliation to the dark girl.

"No!!!!"

Lirael was immediately furious when she saw this.

Because she knew many of these children, and had taught them a lot of common sense about the Underdark and the surface world.

But unfortunately, no matter how angry one is, one cannot reverse the current bad war situation.

Especially when the hobgoblin warlords found that their muskets and kerosene could no longer be used, they chose to send in their entire army without hesitation.

The number of hobgoblins and orcs on the city wall increased, and even pushed the defenders down little by little.

Just when the attackers thought they had secured victory, a ray of silver moonlight suddenly shone down, illuminating the dark elves who were fighting bravely.

The next second...

These dark elves were like chicken blood. Not only did their strength and speed increase significantly, but they also had no idea what fatigue was.

In the center of the moonlight, you can vaguely see a figure dancing with a sword in hand.
