Chapter 457: Alliance under the City

"Retreat, retreat quickly, the city lord is dead, this battle can't be fought, retreat quickly."

"This is a trap, it's a trap from beginning to end, the enemy deliberately lures us into the trap in order to destroy our main force."

"Retreat all! Retreat all!"

"Idiot, don't mess around, the faster you retreat, the faster you die at this time, hold on, hold on to their counterattack before retreating."

"Don't panic, don't panic, their attack must be a built-up attack, it's impossible to use it often, otherwise they would have used it long ago, and wouldn't have waited until now."

In contrast, the morale of the drow elves fell to the bottom, they are all experts in playing conspiracy.

The second the thunder cannon fell, they connected the whole situation.

The opponent obviously has a variety of powerful tactics, but they didn't go into battle together at the beginning to completely defeat them, but added fuel to the fire, throwing weights in little by little, in order to lure out their main force, especially the coach, and then solve it with one shot.

The opponent's plan has been successful. They will have no scruples and will play all their trump cards at once to cause as much damage as possible.

Because if it were me, I would do the same.

Facts have proved that they are not just guessing.

Aww!

As the sad and desolate flute sounded, the black fog on the battlefield began to condense, and a red dragon shadow slowly appeared. After adapting a little, it quickly rose into the air and swooped down towards the most densely populated area of ​​drow elves, opening its mouth and a shadow dragon breath.

This black dragon flame is highly condensed negative energy. Once sprayed, it will start to burn uncontrollably from the inside out, directly penetrating into the soul.

Once killed by it, an undead shadow will drill out from it and fight for this red dragon shadow.

At the same time, shadows appeared out of thin air and soon formed a new army, which was composed entirely of shadows. The leading dozen were shadow knights with mounts, just like the night shadow warrior. These shadow knights and shadow soldiers held weapons condensed from shadows. Although most of them were looming and the degree of condensation was not comparable to that of the night shadow warrior, they should never be underestimated.

With the leading shadow knight waving the shadow whip heavily, the shadow army immediately surrounded the drow elves.

There was a violent sound of horse hooves from the direction of Misnoel. A Tethyr cavalry of less than a hundred people, led by a thunder fang cavalry, trotted towards the battlefield. This was one of the few that joined the war in a normal way.

The Tower of Domination lit up again, dark clouds gathered over the battlefield, and thunder fell in zigzags.

No matter where the lightning fell, whether it was the target or not, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts and instinctively dodge around. They were now scared by the previous thunder cannon, and they were afraid that the opponent would come again.

When the first lightning fell, they recognized the true origin of this spell.

Summoning Thunderstorm.

A fifth-ring spell that can continuously summon lightning to attack the enemy, one per round, and each damage is 5D10 (5-50).

Compared with the thunder cannon, this damage is naturally not enough, but the trouble it creates is not small at all, because they are on the battlefield, and there are other enemies. When they are hit by the lightning, their enemies will not only not give up attacking them, but will take the opportunity to beat them up.

Strangely, from time to time, a lightning will suddenly deflect and shoot towards the Tower of Domination, disappearing without a trace like a stone sinking into the sea.

When people with insight see this scene, they can't help but worry.

The previous terrifying thunder charge was not like an ordinary spell. Even among legendary spells, such a terrifying single attack has never been heard. It is more like a stored energy attack, releasing the stored power at once.

Medusa Lord Lilith is such an insightful person. She flashed and appeared directly in the sky. She said loudly to the Missnoel Restarter who was fleeing in a panic after being chased by the Night Shadow Sky Cavalry: "Lord Gavin, why don't we make a deal?"

"Is this your sincerity in making a deal?" Gavin asked with a sneer.

He and Luna now look extremely embarrassed, but in fact, they are safe.

The Night Shadow Sky Cavalry is powerful, but it is limited by the flying speed of the mount.

In this area, the Half Moon Horse has an absolute advantage. It didn't even use the free sprint too much. It just turned on the power of nature and made the opponent run around.

But he didn't dare to get rid of the opponent completely, because the opponent's single-kill ability was too terrifying. Even General Stelina and others could hardly withstand five swords from him. The strength of this Night Shadow Warrior was close to that of a legendary warrior.

This was an existence beyond their plan. Fortunately, it only caused some casualties and did not cause a fundamental impact on the entire battle situation.

"It's my mistake, Shadow, come back." Lord Medusa ordered.

The Night Shadow Sky Cavalry immediately stopped chasing, flew back to Lord Medusa, and disappeared the next second.

Gavin, who had the insight gem, clearly saw that the Night Shadow Sky Cavalry was floating behind Lord Medusa, with the Shadow Longbow in his hand coldly aiming at him.

Gavin then asked: "Ms. Lilith, what deal do you want to make?"

"It's very simple. Let my people go. I am willing to sign an alliance with you, not to invade each other, and join hands to fight against the poisoned blade Masoginus." Lord Medusa said with a smile.

"Hahaha..." Gavin couldn't help laughing, "Do you think I'm so stupid? Stupid enough to believe in the covenant of a drow, especially a masked traitor. You dare to betray even the Spider Queen Rose. What else in this world do you dare not betray?"

"Who said I betrayed the Spider Queen? How can you be sure that everything I did was not her sacred will?" Lord Medusa said meaningfully.

Huh? !

Gavin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. When she said that, the originally certain things immediately became uncertain.

According to the characteristics of Spider Queen Rose who likes to weave conspiracy webs, it is not impossible for her to send a priestess to accept Velen's bewitching and become his sacrifice to infiltrate his inner circle.

But the Masked King is not a fool. He will definitely examine and test these traitors before giving them trust.

Is she a pawn sent by Rose? Or is she raising the flag herself? Or is she a double agent trying to please both sides?

Taking a deep breath and clearing away the distracting thoughts in his mind, Gavin sneered and said, "Whether you are loyal to Rose or to Velen, it doesn't make any difference to me. No matter what, you have to stay here today."

"Who said it's different?" Lord Medusa opened this topic with her own deep meaning, "Since Lord Gavin knows my name, he should have a clear understanding of the situation in Mir Forest. Delnox City is only part of Velen's power and the weakest of the three cities.

Even if you annihilate the main force of Delnox City here, what will you do with Delnox City? Send troops to occupy it?

I admit that the troops in your hands are not weak, but it's okay to defend one city of Misnoel. Dividing troops to defend two cities, one of which is a drow city in the dark region, I'm afraid it will be difficult. They are stretched to the limit, and will be defeated one by one if they are not careful. If I am not mistaken, whether it is the large-scale teleportation before or the long-distance energy-accumulating attack just now, they are all built on the ruling tower of Mithnoel, and are limited in range.

If we abandon it, a large number of drow elves will move in in a few days, and the Poison Blade will send more powerful generals to rule, which will still pose a threat to Mithnoel.

It will be different if you let my people go back. I will take over the city of Delnox and make it my city. I will lead them back to the embrace of the Spider Queen. With us there as a buffer, the Poison Blade will not dare to easily cross the city of Delnox and attack Mithnoel. "

Lord Medusa is very eloquent, clear and organized, and directly points to the crux of the problem.

These situations do not need her to analyze at all, most of them are clear to Gavin.

The battle plan they formulated at the beginning was to take advantage of the situation and lead the drow elves of Delnox City to the city of Misnoel, using the powerful power of the Tower of Domination to catch him off guard, and annihilate their main force as much as possible, so that they could not continue to blockade Misnoel in a short period of time, and usher in a period of stable development for themselves.

As for taking the opportunity to counterattack and take over Delnox City, it was not in their plan at all.

With their limited military force, they still had to rely on the Mysnoel's maze and the Tower of Domination to resist defense. If they divided their troops to occupy the city, they would be asking for trouble.

But if they followed Lord Medusa's proposal and let the three cities of the drow elves split from the inside and even form a mutually opposing relationship, it would be extremely beneficial to Misnoel.

But according to the cunning nature of the drow elves, no one dared to be sure whether this was Lord Medusa's delaying tactic, in order to let his own lineage withdraw safely from the battlefield.

As if seeing through Gavin's worries, Lord Medusa smiled more cunningly and beautifully, saying, "Lord City Lord, I know what you are worried about. You don't need to trust me. You just need to believe in the ambition of a drow elf, a priestess of the Spider Queen, and a masked traitor of the Masked Lord. Do you think that once I occupy a city, I will easily give up the ruling power to others?

The power of Delnox City has been seriously damaged, which is already a foregone conclusion. Especially after I have seen the strength of the Lord City Lord with my own eyes, will I start a war easily?"

"You are the best lobbyist I have ever seen, no one else." Gavin couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart. It was the first time he saw someone turn the shortcomings of his race into advantages. At least in this special situation, the greed, suspicion, power-seeking and many other negative characteristics of the drow elves have become a tool for people to believe.

Regardless of whether Lord Medusa is a pawn of the Spider Queen or a believer of the Masked Lord, one thing is certain, that is, she has great ambitions, and only this ambition will drive her to take great risks and play with fire between the two gods.

And suspicion is not one-sided, but two-sided.

In the case of absolute advantage, he let Lord Medusa and her direct lineage back to Delnox City and let them become the new city lord.

The rulers of the other two cities will definitely suspect whether this beautiful snake has reached a secret agreement with him in secret.

As long as both sides have the seeds of suspicion, the rest of the things will be easy to deal with.

After all, it is not only the drow elves who play conspiracies and tricks, they will also.

"Thank you." The smile on Lord Medusa's beautiful face became even sweeter, and even the snake hair on her head was dancing with joy, because when the other party praised her so much, the other party had already made a decision in her heart, "In order to show Sincerely, I have a new cooperation proposal.”

"Oh? Tell me." Gavin looked interested. The longer it takes, the better it will be for him.

Not only will the situation on the battlefield take the absolute initiative, but Remu in the Tower of Domination will also complete a new round of energy storage.

As long as he has mastered that big weapon, whether it is fighting or drawing, the initiative is in his hands.

"After I seize the city of Delnox, I hope to conduct a personnel exchange. You will give me the female drow captives in your hands, and I will give you the shadowless male drow elves, so that they can all become True Shadow." Lord Medusa's new proposal was completely beyond Gavin's expectations.

Gavin thought for a moment and asked, "What is the exchange ratio?"

This time it was Lord Medusa's turn to show a look of astonishment and said: "Of course it's one for another, do you still need to ask?"

"Impossible." Gavin sneered, "There is no reason why you can take advantage of all the benefits in the world. Not only can you get rid of those who oppose you without any further trouble, but you can also replace them with a group of female drow elves. , as soon as it changed hands, it turned into a Medusa who was absolutely loyal to me. No matter how I calculated this transaction, I lost more. One to two, this ratio is more appropriate. "

He directly exposed Lord Medusa's little plan, saying that he knew she had the secret to transform women into Medusa.

"Haha... I didn't expect that the city lord is also a shrewd businessman, but you only calculated my account, not yours. Since you have a shadow here, you should know the difference between the shadow and the real shadow. , before swallowing the body, the shadow is just a poor imitation, with a growth limit, but it is different when it becomes a real shadow. They will have the opportunity to grow into a night shadow warrior like Shadow. "

Lord Medusa argued with reason, "Besides, isn't it also extremely beneficial to you to permanently eliminate a drow? One to one is fair and reasonable."

"It's just a chance to grow. It's not true. Even if there is no exchange of ladies, as long as they are our enemies, it will be a matter of time before they are turned into real shadows." Gavin also refused to let go. "Besides, we can kill these female drow captives to double the number of shadows I have. If you don't mind a bunch of corpses, we can exchange them one-to-one."

"No, I want to live." Lord Medusa shook his head and refused without hesitation. Only women with intact soul consciousness can be transformed into Medusa.

Those who have lost their shadows have incomplete soul consciousness. Even if they are resurrected, they cannot transform into Medusa.

"Then there's nothing I can do. I can't make any profit from this deal, so why should I do it with you?" Gavin asked.

"Because the more firmly I stand, the safer you, Mystic Noel, will be." Lord Medusa rolled his eyes and found a new reason.

Gavin laughed and said: "Even if I let you go today, it doesn't mean that we are close allies. At best, we are just using each other, or full of uncertainties. Who knows, you will not Will you turn around and fall back into the arms of Lord Poison Quenching Blade? Don’t tell me about long-term benefits, I want benefits that are close at hand and can be seen.”

Lord Medusa couldn't help grinding her teeth. This young restarter was far more troublesome than she thought. He was as slick and cunning as a drow wearing half-elf skin. "Three for two, this is my final offer." , if it succeeds, we will make this deal, if..."

"Deal." Gavin's cheerfulness made Lord Medusa doubt whether he had quoted a higher price.

Gavin also specified the transaction location, "When you prepare the goods, send them here. Someone will respond to you then."

This showed Lord Medusa in disguise that her previous guess was not a guess, and that they had the ability to monitor this place.

Their failure this time was not accidental, but inevitable.

Because they chose the battlefield on someone else's home court, everything was done under their noses.

Fortunately, I have made two preparations. Otherwise, even if I don't explain here today, I will explain the family wealth that I have accumulated through hard work in the past few years. If I become a bare commander, it will be difficult to seize the dominance of Delnox. will increase significantly.

Lord Medusa glanced at the increasingly unfavorable situation facing his side and said, "Lord City Lord, can we go down and call a halt and let my people go?"

"Don't be in a hurry." Gavin stared at the still-invisible Night Shadow Air Cavalry with cold eyes, "You have only fulfilled your conditions, and mine have not been fulfilled yet!"

Lord Medusa said with a look of astonishment: "Didn't we already reach an agreement?"

"An agreement? Who made it with you? From the beginning to the end, you were just talking to yourself." Gavin said with a cold face, "You just want me to let you and your subordinates go, how can there be any in the world?" Such a good thing? As I said just now, I don’t look at long-term benefits, I only look at the immediate future.”

"What do you want?" Lord Medusa could no longer maintain his previous smile and asked with a cold face.

"I want him to stay." Gavin pointed behind Lord Medusa and said.

To outsiders, it may seem like there is nothing there, but Gavin and Lord Medusa both know that there is a powerful being there.
