Chapter 542: Showing the trump card

Due to the influence of the Spider Goddess, most of the drow have a special liking for spiders. They not only use spider-shaped ornaments, but in some places, they also use harming spiders as a legitimate excuse to attack the enemy. They even use spider silk to build cities above the underground abyss, just like spiders weaving webs.

So when you see a large group of eight-legged creatures running out of the cave, followed by dark elves, there is basically no escape, they must be believers of the Spider Goddess.

The scene was already chaotic, the Wild Bear Mercenaries and the Glow Ion Yin Cult were fighting fiercely, and this group of drow with spiders rushed out of the cave, and it was even more unclear which side they wanted to help.

Because they beat both sides.

This is like the Chu-Han contention turned into the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and everyone joined in the celebration.

Under the protection of the invisibility sphere, Orde quickly grabbed Nimia and Zora, signaling them not to move.

The invisibility sphere only makes others unable to see you, but the smell, sound, and even the sixth sense may expose their location.

This is not groundless worry. The five-headed snake whip in the hands of the female drow who seems to be the leader is twisting like a real snake, giving people the feeling that it is spitting out its tongue.

This is the standard weapon used by the Spider Queen's priests. In addition to being sufficiently pious, the priests' perception ability will gradually increase as they serve the gods for a longer time.

To be fair, even if Zora stood in the position of the drow, Alde would be discovered by Zora if she walked over with invisibility, not to mention the drow who has been a priest for a longer time.

In addition to spiders of all sizes, there was also a group of drow warriors wielding exquisite swords and mages who joined the melee.

The female drow dressed as priests basically watched the show from above and did not leave immediately.

This is because of different social status.

The spider goddess Rose only accepts female drow as her priests, so women have a very high status in the drow society.

Their social status is priest, woman, mage and warrior. For male drow, the highest status is to be the chief mage or chief warrior of a family, and other non-drow races are inferior slaves in their eyes.

This social status also makes priests feel that it is natural to drive slaves and men to fight and win when the opportunity is right.

Of course, in the current situation, it may also be because priests do not want to expose the fact that they cannot use divine magic.

A high social status does not mean that you can sit back and relax. Drow are a very "motivated" race. As long as those in high positions show a little flaw, they will be backstabbed and replaced by their subordinates. Few drow can live to the end of their lives.

In other words, the drow priest is too close to the cave that the three want to enter, almost next to it, so before finding an opportunity to run away, Alde decided to watch the show here in stealth, anyway, it is not them who are beaten.

So the three found a stone above as a cover to avoid flying arrows and other stray bullets, and watched the show with peace of mind.

Actually, there are no drow in the Demon Realm. These black elves can only live underground. They will go blind or even die if exposed to sunlight. Only a few drow who have escaped the evil control of the Spider Queen have the ability to move on the surface.

For example, the drow who believe in the Moonlight Maiden Eilistraee.

Elves are not native to the Demon Realm, let alone this kind of species with strong regional restrictions. All that Alde knows about drow comes from the descriptions in books.

From this, we can also see how much of a dog coin race the drow is. Even the planes without drow activities have heard of their shitty deeds.

The joining of the drow was also unexpected by the Wild Bear Mercenaries and the Glow Ion Yin Society, and both sides suffered a little loss.

However, it is almost impossible for a group of big spiders to pose a serious threat.

The lifespan of elves is about 500 years, and their extremely long lifespan leads to a low fertility rate. When it comes to fighting, there are not enough people.

The male drow who could clearly see the outcome hid behind the big spider and stabbed at it, not daring to go up and fight hard. After all, they were outnumbered and would probably get into trouble if they rushed too hard.

It was unclear what the Wild Bear Mercenaries were going to do, but the Glow Ion Yin Cult probably didn't want to continue to entangle, so they immediately turned over their cards.

From the purple-black cracks around them, a large group of mechanical creations that looked like beasts or monsters emerged, like beast-shaped golems.

They were not as powerful as golems, but their movements were more flexible. The giant spiders could not stop them at all, and their numbers were quite large. As soon as they appeared, they began to beat the drow and the Wild Wolf Mercenaries.

However, the defense of these guys was far inferior to that of golems. They felt like they were wrapped in iron sheets. Any heavy weapon could make a hole in the shell, not to mention the exquisite swords of the drow. It was only because of their large numbers that they could beat the two sides.

Orde, who was watching the show, recognized it as a magic shell at a glance. It was an alchemical creature, but it was really a shell in the literal sense.

Their inner part, the core of the power, is the heart of the monster.

Many monsters are born with spell-like abilities, and unlike mortals who store magic in their souls, monsters store magic in their hearts.

A typical example is the dragon.

Since the heart has the function of storing magic, if we take out the heart and install it on the machine, wouldn’t it be a battery?

So the magic casing was created.

The more powerful the monster is, the stronger the magic power its heart can generate, and vice versa. The heart of a powerful monster is put into a salt water tank as a battery, which is a waste in itself.

However, the magic power output of the heart of a low-level monster is not enough to carry a too heavy mechanical body.

Due to the existence of this objective fact, the magic shell has become a cheap substitute for golems and puppets. The advantage is that it is really cheap. As long as there is a magician to make the core, the shell and mechanical structure can be easily mass-produced by the blacksmith shop.

The disadvantage is that cheap goods are naturally not good. The combat power is far inferior to that of golems, and can only be stacked by numbers.

However, in this chaotic situation, a large number of magic shells running out is still quite useful. Even if you can kill one with one knife, you will be at a loss if I pull out ten.

After all, cheap means that it can be mass-produced.

The appearance of the magic shell has significantly reduced the pressure on the Glow Ion Yin Xiu Society. There are also many wild bear mercenaries, and they are still running out of the dark caves below. In terms of numbers, they can still hold up.

But the drow who suddenly joined the battlefield were a little overwhelmed. Their numbers were small, and the big spiders they drove over could not withstand the magic shell. It looked like the situation was not good.

But it was not only Orde and the others who stood above and watched the show. Several female drow priests did not leave immediately. They watched their people being beaten back step by step. The beauty of the elves could not cover up their faces that were gritting their teeth and twisting.

"Waste! Kill these inferior races!"

The five-headed snake whip in her hand raised its head and made a hissing sound, as if responding to the anger of the master.

The other drow priests around looked at each other and raised their holy emblems below.

Circles of purple-black light waves spread out, as if they could identify the enemy, bypassing their own people and the big spiders, and all blew on the enemy's face.

What the hell? They can actually use divine magic?
