Broad World

After traveling through the gloomy and depressed underground for more than three hours, an underground city slowly appeared not far ahead.

This is a strong fortress built against rocks and cliffs. There is a wide underground river that completely separates the gate from the outside world, forming a natural moat, and the only passage is a suspension bridge, although it is not yet He knew what was in the river, but according to the dark elf's insidious character, I am afraid that 90% of them might be some kind of large piranha.

In addition, the height of the city wall is also very scary. I don’t know what black technology or black magic was used by the underground gnome, and actually piled the city wall to a height of more than 100 meters, which is equivalent to the height of thirty-five stories on the earth. , Needless to say, archery, just throwing rocks from the top down can smash people alive.

Maybe these little guys are afraid of being bullied, so they deliberately build such a terrifying wall and want to protect themselves.

Like most cities in the dark regions, the gates of the new city are also made of pure gold. This is known as the hardest metal in the world and can withstand most physical and magical attacks. On the surface, light can be said to be extremely strong. There is absolutely no possibility of being compromised.

But Henry felt that the shape of the gate was a bit familiar. It was probably the two that were removed from Uster Nazareth, but the surface pattern was slightly modified, from the shape of a spider web to a whole body." "The female dark elf, you don't need to ask to know that it must be to please the dark girl Eilistraee."

Obviously, the pastor of this beautiful and kind goddess has arrived for a long time, and it seems that the mission should be smooth, otherwise such a symbolic sign will never appear on the gate.

Pointing to the new city ahead, Heng asked in a teasing tone: "This is what you said is very close? We walked quickly for three and a half hours. If we change to a caravan, we will have to walk for at least six hours. "

"Master, as far as the distance between the two cities is concerned, no more than a day should be considered very close. If you encounter special circumstances, you can march in a hurry. You can reach the destination in about an hour and a half." Su Li looked helpless. Replied.

In his eyes, there is little difference between the journey of more than three hours or the journey of more than six hours. As long as there is sufficient animal power and road safety is ensured, trade between the two cities can be carried out soon.

The underground new city just relies on sufficient food to attract countless underground caravans to trade. All kinds of minerals, gems, rare fungi, weirdness, (poison) medicine, magic items, scrolls, delicious mushrooms, silk satin woven from spider silk, etc., will all be the most sought-after goods.

As the only city on the west coast that can maintain normal trade with the dark regions, the rise of Willen is just around the corner.

I have to say that the vigilance work in the new city is quite good, just because the two people are talking. A dark elf patrol quietly came up from all directions. They sat down on the three-toed sticky feet of the underground lizard and could fly on the walls like a spider without making any noise.

But just as the captain was about to jump out and ask, Ares, with a keen sense of smell, suddenly raised his head, widened his eyes and let out a menacing growl at the dark area, and at the same time, he drew a line on the surrounding rocks. mark.

"Who? Who is there!?" Su Li immediately pulled out his saber nervously.

Although with his skill, he is a scum with only five combat effectiveness underground, and even if he takes a weapon, it is of little use, but he still assumes a standard defensive posture.

Seeing that the whereabouts of himself and others had been discovered, the patrol captain was not long-winded. Directly with a cryptic gesture, a dozen dark elves walked out of the shadows, followed him and glanced at the big brown bear with scarlet eyes, and then asked in a slightly jerky common language: "Humans! Let that animal be quiet, and explain your intentions right away!"

"Relax, Ares, they are not enemies." Henry patted the animal companion's head and soothed.

Hearing that there is no need to fight, the big brown bear immediately put away its paws, shook its head and sat on the ground, with only two eyes still watching the surrounding dark elves vigilantly.

Su Li quickly took out a palm the size of his arms. The black stone with intricate patterns shook in front of the patrol: "I am the governor of the surface city of Willen. Take me to the mayor of Antlaib immediately."

The captain obviously got out of what the stone represents, and waved his hand quickly. He motioned everyone to put away their weapons, and bowed respectfully: "It turned out that the Governor came here. Please forgive us for being rude. After all, the dark area is too dangerous, and there are often unidentified guys recently. Appear nearby, can't help but be careful."

"Unidentified guy?! Is it a dark elf, gray dwarf, or some other race?" Su Li realized the seriousness of the situation. Frowned immediately and asked.

"It's hard to say that the other party's actions are very secretive. Once the patrol team is discovered, they will run away without leaving any trace. But fortunately, their number is not large, and it is initially estimated that they cannot exceed 30 people. A big threat." The captain's dark face showed a hint of helplessness.

He was sent out on patrol only today. He originally thought he had finally caught two snoopers, but he didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding, so he was a little frustrated.

Seeing that he couldn't find any results, Su Li stopped entanglement and asked the patrol team to lead him. After a while, he crossed the suspension bridge and the city gate and came to the interior of the fortress.

Like all cities designed by underground gnomes, a large number of stone chambers have been built near the entrance to the city to confuse the enemy, as well as large and small, high and low steps. The complexity is not inferior to any maze, and in some places it is even erected. Ballista, even if the intruder breaks through the city gate, it will almost shed the last drop of blood here.

Because it is built against a cliff, the ground is not flat, but like a terrace, spreading from high to low, connected by a large number of steps and ramps, almost every floor has considerable defensive capabilities. The offender not only has to endure the dilemma of a back attack, but the upper level can also throw stones down to defend.

It can be said that the entire city is exactly like a hedgehog curled up. Unless it pays more than ten times the price or collapses from the inside, it is completely impossible to be captured.

Of course, this kind of terrifying defensive fortress, which is a mixture of underground gnome and dark elf construction technology, is so different that it can only be seen underground. According to Henry's judgment, it is the highly horrible wall outside. It is necessary to summon at least five to ten giant earth elements to work for a full week.

It seems that the underground gnomes have absolutely spent their money to build a safe new home. It is estimated that the gems they carried when they escaped should have been exhausted, so many places in the city are empty, only the top city hall and Eilistraee The construction of the temple has been completed. Apart from this, there are no buildings that are too tall.

Walking on the streets of the city, Henry could see that although the residents here are still a bit sparse, many shops have already opened for business, but most of them are official trade, that is, the use of grain for special products in the dark area. Several caravans of gray dwarves are bargaining with the dark elves, intending to exchange their goods for more food.

As for the underground gnomes, they mainly gather in the northeast corner of the city. They are busy digging holes and dinging.

Seeing everything running in an orderly manner, Henry nodded secretly, giving Antlaib a perfect score for his ability to govern. He knew very well how difficult it was to build an underground city in a few months, even with the help of magic.

The distance from the city gate to the uppermost city hall was not close at all, and all of them were uphill but stairs. The group of people walked for more than 20 minutes to arrive. At this moment, Su Li was exhausted and panting. The clothes on his body were soaked with sweat.

After the captain of the patrol made a few simple negotiations with the guards at the door, the two were released and entered the city hall unimpeded, but before they had gone far, they heard from a room inside. The sound of a group of people arguing.

"We have to show the miscellaneously of Sludil Monpulo a little bit of color! Their spies are so rampant! They are blatantly operating around the city! If this continues, there may be more large-scale military operations soon. !"

"I object! There are now less than five thousand people in the city! Many of them are old and weak, women and children! What we have to do now is to accumulate strength, not to provocatively!"

"Damn it! Let them spy on our fiction? Coward!"

"Asshole! Who do you say is a coward? Say it again! I'll break the bridge of your nose with my fist!"

"Ha! Come on! Am I afraid you won't make it!"

"Enough! Don't make meaningless quarrels! What we need now is to solve the problem, not to fight!"

"I think it is enough to increase the number of patrols at the moment. After all, Srudier Munpulo is still in the trial stage. You can't act rashly until there is no obvious offensive intention."

"You said lightly, we have now violated the taboo of a certain goddess. It is equivalent to severing her control of the dark elf belief. It will be sooner or later that it will be attacked."

"Yes! From this moment on, the entire city will enter a state of war. All foreign caravans must be disarmed after entering the city, and try to arrange them to live in Xiacheng."

"Then it is so decided! Tomorrow I will issue a war mobilization order~www.ltnovel.com~ so that all residents will be prepared."

"On behalf of every priest in the temple, I support the decision of the council and can provide free medical services at any time. May the dancing lady be with us."

"May the dancing lady be with us!"

...

Standing at the door and listening for a long time, Henry realized that it might be that Rose, the spider goddess, was about to make a big move. The city of Srudier Monpolo is located directly under the Wildas Forest. It is a powerful dark elf city. The peninsula is very close. It only takes three to five days to travel through the complex and dark areas.

They are now sending scouts to spy on intelligence. It is most likely a precursor to an offensive, and they may also unite with other surrounding cities. In short, a big trouble is coming...
