Underground world, Shanatar city-state.
This is an ancient city-state located in the upper area of the western region of the Underdark, separated from the City of Blades by an underground lake.
It is said that this underground city was first built by the dark dwarves in the early Silver Age, and was destroyed in the wars in the middle and late Silver Age. It was rebuilt on the original site by the underground dwarves three thousand years ago...
Like the Blade City located at the commercial node, Shanatar City-State is also a commercial underground city, and its structure is very similar to the Black Rock City in the Chasm Cave.
However, it is slightly different from the dark dwarves in the City of Blades who specialize in selling armor and swords. Although the city-state of Shanatar also sells similar equipment, the underground dwarves here use the silk of the crypt spider to weave mages. The robe is even more famous in the underground world...
Of course, this is why the siege of the Dark Alliance army has become low-intensity, and under the premise that players can no longer quickly earn experience points by killing the undead, there are still so many new players who are about to die even once. , we also need to find a way to use a set of equipment.
Nothing else, the mage equipment is so awesome! Too little!
Of course, the players are happy, but the top management of Shanatar are not so happy.
At this moment, Catra, the current chief old dwarf of the city-state, was lying on the bed, looking at the several senior officials of Shanatar in front of him expressionlessly.
Here are the city-state’s financial controller, intelligence officers, military ministers, diplomats who have invited elves for foreign aid, and the successor to the next chief, Dorulu.
Obviously the situation in the city defense battle is excellent, but the atmosphere here is very solemn.
Everyone faced the chief lying on the hospital bed and listened with trepidation to the report of the financial controller:
"Chief Sir..."
The Financial Controller’s voice was very bitter:
"Since the elves joined the war, although our pressure has been greatly reduced, our expenses have been rising at a terrifying speed..."
"In the week since the elves joined the war, we have exhausted all the spider silk robes and armor equipment in stock, and have owed more than 20 million gold pounds, and an additional 5,000 Wearing a spider silk robe..."
"This...has been the income of our city for nearly twenty years."
Deathly silence.
Hearing this number, Catra's face suddenly turned livid.
He coughed a few times, looked at the Minister of Military Affairs again, and asked coldly:
"Tell me about the defensive battle, especially the situation among the elves."
The Minister of Military Affairs was a dwarf. He nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Chief Sir, the current city defense is in good condition. After the elves joined the war, the casualties of the soldiers have been greatly reduced, and the pressure on the defense has also been greatly reduced. However... the casualties of the elves are a bit surprising."
As he spoke, he paused and gave an astonishing number:
"According to our statistics, over the past week, the elves' side has dispatched nearly 100,000 troops to participate in the war."
"One hundred thousand? This is impossible! There are at most 20,000 elves guarding the city wall!"
Doruru couldn't help but lost his voice.
It wasn't until Chief Catla gave him a cold look that he shuddered and shut his mouth in a sullen voice.
Then, the Minister of Military Affairs explained:
"Your Excellency Dorulu, the reason why you saw only 20,000 people is because these 100,000 people came to support one after another. Not only that, most of them were 'killed' in battle."
"Killed in action?"
Doruru’s expression is very wonderful.
He did not participate in the city defense battle, and he really didn't know much about the elves' battle.
"Yes, but not all of them died fighting the undead. Many of them died accidentally after falling from the city wall... It's just that I am more inclined to believe that they committed suicide."
Suicide? How can this be?
Dorulu felt ridiculous.
Looking at Doruru's dull expression, the old chief snorted coldly and looked at the city-state's female intelligence officer:
"Shana, tell him what news you got."
"Yes, Sir."
The underground dwarf called Shana bowed respectfully. She looked at Doruru, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and said lightly:
"We have found out the details of these elves and know the true situation of the defense battle of Blade City."
"These elves... originated from the surface. They abandoned the belief in the World Tree and believed in a goddess of life named Eve, who is said to control both nature and life."
"It is said that this is a newly promoted **** who is suspected of being supported by the great Crown of Hela and inherited the priesthood of the World Tree. Of course, there is also speculation that he is a true **** created in the earthly world by the Crown of Death. Incarnation..."
"These elves are the descendants of the 'Goddess of Life', and they are not only numerous in number, but also have the ability to be immortal. Once they die, they will be resurrected in another place..."
"They changed their beliefs and seemed to have changed their temperaments at the same time."
"During the defensive battle of Blade City, it is said that the number of elves participating in the battle reached 80,000, but the number of elves defending the city wall was no more than 20,000 at its highest, which is similar to our city-state..."
“After the battle, Blade City owes a huge amount of gold pounds and equipment, and all of this needs to be paid to the elves.”
"In addition, most witnesses testified that they saw familiar faces among the elves who re-received war equipment, and many people were suspected of receiving them repeatedly..."
The goddess of life? Immortal? resurrection?
Doruru was stunned.
After the female intelligence officer finished her report, she stood aside respectfully.
The chief glanced at the dull Dorulu, with a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
He covered his mouth and coughed a few times, sighed and said:
"The others retreated, Dorulu stayed."
The Finance Minister and others quickly resigned, leaving only Chief Katla and his grandson Dorulu in the room.
"Doruru, do you understand what's going on now?"
The chief said coldly.
Doruru's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"I know, we have been tricked by these supporting elves! They are actually using their abilities to defraud us of our wealth!"
"Stupid!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was greeted by the angry roar of the chief.
The old chief trembled with anger. He coughed a few times and said angrily:
"There is something wrong with these elves, didn't you see it from the beginning?! Didn't you communicate with the envoys who went to Black Rock City?!"
"Although Blade City has successfully defended against the attack, don't you know their situation? Even if you don't know the specific information, don't you know to find out?!"
"When you didn't understand everything, you easily signed an agreement with the elves similar to that of the City of Blades. Isn't this stupid?!"
"These strange elves are as cunning as humans, but your stupidity is the biggest reason for the current situation of our city-state!"
The old chief roared angrily.
Dorulu, on the other hand, looked flustered and lowered his head without daring to speak.
Seemingly tired, the old chief took a breath and shook his head deeply:
"Hey..."
His voice was very tired.
After a moment of silence, the old chief looked at Dorulu again.
This time, his eyes were very serious and serious:
"Dorulu, let me ask you now, what should we do next?"
After hearing what the chief said, Dorulu raised his head.
When he saw the stern gaze of the city-state's chief, who was also his grandfather, he subconsciously shied away.
But soon, he mustered up the courage, gritted his teeth and said:
"They are deceiving us!"
"So...these elves have always been twenty thousand people repeating the process of death and resurrection!"
"In this case, there is no need for us to pay the promised remuneration! Not only that, we should also recover the overpayment to them!"
After listening to Doruru's words, the old chief's face became even more livid.
He grabbed a crutch before getting up, hit the other person in the face with his backhand, and roared angrily:
"Stupid!"
