If there is any difference between the war in the Segas world and the war in the Blue Star cold weapon era, it is that the addition of extraordinary forces has made the direction and changes of the war more complex and unpredictable.
The BUG-like existence of the teleportation circle has completely changed the city battle mode in the world of Segas...
Unlike Blue Star, wars in the Segas world often involve a single large-scale battle to defend or siege a city, which can determine the course of the entire war.
The most important reason for this is that the existence of the teleportation circle makes long-distance support a reality.
Of course, the maintenance of the teleportation circle requires magic stones. When teleporting, depending on the distance of transmission and the strength of the teleportation object, more magic stones will also be consumed...
This consumption is very small in the early stage, but as the number of teleportation targets increases and the strength increases, it will soar at an exaggerated rate.
Therefore, for ordinary surface civilizations, using teleportation arrays to provide military support is quite a luxury.
They will not use the teleportation array unless it is a last resort.
However, for the underground world, it is different.
The underground world is extremely rich in mineral resources and has a massive reserve of magic stones.
Not only that, because the underground world is closer to the origin of the plane, when using the teleportation circle to teleport, the magic power consumed is much less than that of the surface world.
So... for them, using the teleportation circle to teleport troops is a fairly common operation.
If it were not for the constant war between the underground city-states in the Underdark Region, even if they were in the same city-state alliance, the trust between them would generally not be high. Otherwise, teleportation circles would have long become a common way to travel.
In fact, it was this time that the Alliance of Silent City-States encountered a real crisis, and the goddess they believed in issued an oracle. Otherwise... they would never easily arrange such a plan where the risks are as high as the rewards. Super long-distance teleportation array.
And it is precisely the existence of the teleportation circle that causes the already fierce war in the underground world to go to two extremes once the battle is over——
Or, the war will end quickly after a major battle.
Or, a siege will be turned into a protracted war. Sometimes it is not impossible to besiege for more than ten years...
At this moment, the largest underground city in the Silent City-State Alliance, the City of Blades, known as the "Forging Capital", is facing such a siege.
The City of Blades is located in the north-central part of the western region of the underground world. It is at the junction of the first and second levels of the Underdark. It is about three hundred kilometers away from the Rift Cave horizontally. It is the center of the Alliance of Silent City States against the Alliance of Dark City States. the forefront.
The city consists of a large cavern dug out of a stalagmite, next to the Underdark Sea.
The City of Blades has a large population, with an astonishing 50,000 permanent residents... Among them, the main residents are the dark dwarves and underground gnomes, accounting for more than 80% of the total population.
Don't underestimate these 50,000 people. A city with this population is already quite rare in the underground world.
Not only that, unlike human cities on the surface, urban residents in the underground world are almost all extraordinary people. The number of extraordinary people who have reached the black iron level is at least a quarter of the city's population, and the largest number of underground cities is even half The population is all above the black iron level...
In other words, there are at least 10,000 residents in Blade City who have reached the Black Iron level.
In this huge underground city, the dark dwarves used stone pillars as the smelting center, built their own houses and workshops, mines and alchemy workshops around them, and built a magnificent barrier of solid iron ore outside the city. city wall.
The city wall shines coldly under the reflection of fluorescent stones in the underground world, like a sharp blade. This is also the origin of the "City of Blades".
Here is the largest magic stone mine in the entire western region, and the reserves of mithril, fine steel, and iron ore are also quite amazing.
Thousands of years ago, the Dark Dwarves built it into a well-known forging city in the underground world. The various equipment produced in the City of Blades are even as famous as the elves on the surface...
The rich mineral resources naturally create a huge amount of wealth in the City of Blades, and the huge amount of wealth will naturally cause other forces to covet it.
So, the Dark City-State Alliance chose this dungeon as the first place to attack.
At this moment, the chief of the City of Blades, an underground dwarf named Breen, is standing on the wall of the city, looking at the black mass of illithids and dark dwarves outside (the dark dwarves have a strong belief in The name given to the Dark God's kin) an army composed of undead, monsters and goblins, with solemn expressions.
The enemy's attack comes earlier than expected...
He never expected that before the mission sent for help returned, he would be besieged by the Dark Alliance.
As of today, Blade City has repelled several enemy sieges.
The city wall has long been dyed black and red by the blood of dwarves and dwarf soldiers. Under the dim and flickering firelight, it looks particularly tragic.
There is a strong smell of blood floating in the air. Among the nearly 20,000 Quiet Alliance warriors who originally defended the city, 5,000 have returned to the kingdom of the goddess at this moment.
On the city wall, the soldiers sat tiredly on the ground, and from time to time the groans of the wounded soldiers could be heard...
Brin's mood became increasingly heavy.
The number of enemies far exceeded his imagination. The number of Dark Alliance troops participating in the siege this time probably exceeded 100,000...

If the City of Blades had not been strong, and there was a defensive core from the Temple of Death in the city that could use defensive magic to withstand the strong men in the opponent's army, otherwise... the city would have been broken long ago.
But even so, if there are no reinforcements, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long.
Operation of defensive magic also requires manpower, and because Lord Firebeard, who can perform divine descent, is not available, Blade City lacks high-end combat power and needs more power to maintain the operation of magic.
In this case, the number of soldiers on the city wall can only be reduced...
What makes Brin even more depressed and frightened is that there are actually high-level undead in the opponent's army!
The opponent seems to have some kind of artifact that interferes with the power of the goddess. Once a warrior is killed by the opponent, he will turn into an undead and join the opponent's army...
Of course, this is also because the Lord of Darkness and Shadow has stolen part of the power under the goddess's crown. Otherwise... how could he let these undead souls who betrayed the goddess bully him?
"Lord Firebeard...when can we bring reinforcements back?"
Thinking about the mission to Black Rock City, Brin sighed deeply.
His originally short figure looked even more stooped at this moment.
The mission has been away for many days...
If Brin's guess is correct, Lord Firebeard should have passed through Black Rock City and headed to the surface world to ask for help.
After all, in the goddess's oracle, she instructed Blade City to transform a large number of humanoid equipment in advance for the use of reinforcements.
Probably...the reinforcements should be humans.
The human mercenary group is still very famous in the world of Segas, and the best ones are said to even have legendary strong men!
If Lord Firebeard can return with such a powerful mercenary group... there will really be a turning point!
While Brin was meditating, suddenly, a dwarf warrior stumbled onto the city wall, shouting excitedly as he rushed:
"Lord Firebeard is back! Lord Firebeard is back with reinforcements!"
Lord Firebeard is back? Reinforcements have arrived?
Hearing the news, Brin perked up.
He suddenly twisted his body, looked up at the dwarf warrior who came in front of him, and asked excitedly:
"Reinforcements have arrived? Are they a human mercenary group?"
After hearing Brin's words, the dwarf was slightly stunned.
He said with a strange expression:
"No...not humans, but...elves."
"Elf?"
Brin's face was filled with astonishment.
