Chapter 196 It’s an honor

"Participating in the ceremony? What's going on?"

Tatjana looked at her friend in astonishment, grabbed her arm, and said urgently:

"You are one of the most elite dark elf warriors in the family. Why did the family choose you as a ritual sacrifice?"

Venia shook her head and said: "This ceremony is different from the past. The messenger of the Queen of Gods will come to save the Demon Spider City."

"Only the dark elves with the most pious beliefs can participate in this ceremony. We will become part of the divine envoy, kill the wizard, and then return to the Kingdom of God with the divine envoy!"

Looking at her friend with fanatical eyes, Tatjana's face turned slightly pale and she couldn't understand.

Why can they believe so fervently in an existence that has disappeared for more than 1,200 years?

It's like losing your mind!

"Vinya, you will die!" Tatjana could not watch her friend sacrifice himself.

"It's okay, Tatjana." Venia smiled with joy from the bottom of her heart. "Death is not terrible. As long as I return to the Kingdom of God, I can be reborn under the power of the Queen of God and gain eternal life."

Seeing that Tatjana wanted to persuade her, Venia waved her hand to interrupt her.

"Stop talking, Tatjana!"

"We are the most loyal people of the Queen of Gods, so naturally we should obey the Queen of Gods' orders. This is my honor!"

After saying this, Venia turned and walked towards the central temple.

Tatjana stood there blankly, her expression full of confusion and confusion.

At the same time, dark elf warriors rushed from all over the Demon Spider City to the central temple.

The dark purple demonic fire was burning and churning between the stalactites hanging down from the top of the cave, illuminating the outline of the temple below.

The huge temple is like a monster entrenched in the darkness, with its mouth wide open, waiting for prey to come to the door.

Bank City.

As the city-state closest to the Demon Spider City, this is also the front line facing the Demon Spider City.

In order to slow down the advance of the Covenant, the Dark Elves not only took away all the slaves in the city, but also demolished the city walls and most of the buildings before evacuating.

The Covenant had to slow down and repair the city-state.

But this suited Sherman just fine.

He originally didn't want to attack Demon Spider City too quickly, so he could just stop and spend a month or two repairing the city walls and buildings.

After coming out of the meditation room, Sherman went straight to the study.

Although he had to command the battle, he did not miss out on practicing and studying.

This is the foundation of a wizard's apprenticeship.

Participating in the war is to obtain more contribution points and exchange resources to improve strength. The latter is the fundamental purpose.

Sherman doesn’t put the cart before the horse.

Entering the study, Adil was reading the battle report, so focused that he didn't notice anyone approaching in advance.

It wasn't until Sherman walked into the study that she came back to her senses, raised her head and smiled:

"You're here just in time, there are some documents for you to sign."

The commander of this army is Sherman, and Atil is only his deputy. Many documents must be signed by Sherman before they can be approved.

Sherman took it and looked at it for a few times, signed his name quickly, and then asked:

"Where are the two marionettes?"

"A new batch of magic stones has just arrived, and they are going to 'charge' them."

The so-called charging is actually stuffing magic stones into the body.

Adil also found out later that the two marionettes were extremely powerful, but their energy consumption was terrifying.

A battle consumes almost a dozen intermediate magic stones, worth nearly 10,000 gold coins (all the Star Alliance's magic stones are supplied at the 'market price')!

It’s simply a gold-swallowing cave!

"Which marionette will be used in the next battle?" Adil asked.

Sherman thought for a while and said: "No. 1 just killed a spider elf two days ago, and the injury has not fully recovered. Let No. 2 go next."

In order not to frighten the Demon Spider City and make the dark elves completely lose their will to fight, Sherman has always deliberately avoided having two marionettes appear on the battlefield at the same time.

Only one spider elf is used every time.

Anyway, both marionettes have the ability to change their appearance. As long as they keep the same appearance, the dark elves can't tell them apart at all.

"By the way, the teacher has a new order." Adil handed over a roll of parchment.

When Sherman took it and took a look, his expression suddenly became very strange.

Adil had already read the contents of the document and wondered: "What exactly is the teacher's plan? He told us not to push the Demon Spider City too close before, but now he wants us to surround it without attacking."

Xie Man was also confused, but still said: "The teacher must have his arrangements, and we just follow them. It just so happens that we can spare more time to practice."

"That's true." Adil nodded happily.

There are not many good opportunities to practice while earning contribution points.

"I heard that Korey and Ethan are making good progress and have won several big games."

"After all, there are two more medium-sized golem legions over there. The so-called Fallen Star Alliance cannot be an opponent at all."

"Maybe the war in the Northwest Territory will end sooner than ours."

The two were chatting when suddenly a soldier quickly came to the door of the study and bowed to them.

"Sir, the scouts ahead reported that the army from Demon Spider City is coming this way."

Sherman was startled, then turned his head and met Atil's gaze, who also had a look of surprise in his eyes.

The Demon Spider City had previously given up its affiliated city-states in order to avoid the Covenant's military front and concentrate its forces to garrison the Demon Spider City. But now it has given up its advantage in defending the city and actively sent troops to attack. What are those dark elves planning?

"Are they coming to surrender?" Atil joked.

"If that's the case, it's just a false surrender." Sheman didn't trust the dark elves, who were known for their cunning, at all. "Besides, no one surrendered directly with an army."

After a few jokes, the two of them didn't delay and rushed to the city gate immediately.

When they arrived at the city wall, they saw the dark elf army lining up in the distance.

"With this number, the Spider City has come out in full force!" Atil's face became more solemn.

Sheman's brows also frowned.

Looking at this posture, the dark elves regarded the next battle as the last battle?

But what he couldn't figure out was, where did the dark elves get the confidence?

And they put themselves on the disadvantaged side of the siege.

This move was undoubtedly very abnormal.

But looking at the secret puppet that came to his side at some point, Sheman relaxed a little.

No matter what the dark elves were thinking, there was no need to worry too much with two secret puppets.

Soon, the dark elf army launched an attack.

The slave troops still acted as the vanguard. When the cannon fodder was almost consumed, the minotaur troops and lizard cavalry attacked brazenly.

Boom!

The city gate opened, and the golem army marched towards the battlefield in neat steps, blocking the city gate like a giant wall, stopping the enemy's tide-like charge.

The two sides started a melee in an instant, and the sky above the battlefield suddenly echoed with deafening shouts of killing.

Sheman stared at the back of the battlefield intently.

The dark elves dared to take the initiative to attack Bank City and definitely did not rely on these troops. There must be other trump cards.

Is it more spider elves? Or something else?

Sheman soon no longer had to wonder.

A black shadow suddenly rose into the sky from the direction of the dark elf camp. After a slight pause in the air, it shot towards this side like lightning and stopped above the battlefield.

The light emitted by the fluorite quickly reflected the figure of the person.

"Spider elf? No, that's not right." Atil's pupils shrank slightly, "What kind of monster is this?"

The monster above the battlefield looked very similar to the spider elf, but if you look closely, you will find that the spider body in her lower body is larger and darker than the spider elves she had seen before. From a distance, it seems that a black hole is suspended in the air, and eight long limbs are swaying slowly in the void, flashing a frightening cold light like a sharp blade.

And above the spider body is a graceful dark elf female body.

The body is naked without any clothes or protective gear, and the black jade-like skin is covered with strange blood-red patterns, which are faintly intertwined to form hideous blood-colored spiders, and there is a kind of weird beauty under the light of fluorite.

Xie Man stared at the half-spider monster in doubt.

For some reason, the monster gave him an extremely strong sense of threat, much stronger than the spider elf!

Just as Sherman and Atil were in amazement, the half-spider monster screamed suddenly and rushed towards the city wall like a cannonball.

Halfway through, two elite steel golems noticed the half-spider monster, and a flash of light flashed on their chests, and crushing sound waves and magic missiles whistled out at the same time.

However, the half-spider monster didn't even look at it. Its huge spider body was like hitting foam, savagely crushing the distorted sound waves and magic missiles, and then its eight legs crossed and slashed, and eight half-moon-shaped light blades fell from the sky, chopping the two elite steel golems into pieces!

A fine gold golem activated the levitation spell and rushed into the sky, blocking the half-spider monster. Its two iron fists, under the blessing of the spell, attacked with a terrifying force of overwhelming power, but the half-spider monster swung two scimitars and cut off its arms.

Then the cold light flashed, and the huge fine gold golem was instantly split into several pieces.

All this happened in a flash, so that Sherman didn't have time to react.

Without caring about the loss of the golem, he quickly ordered the other golems to keep their distance from the half-spider monster.

This monster was obviously stronger than the spider elves, and ordinary golems were no match for it.

Seeing the golems retreat, the half-spider monster ignored these minions and rushed towards the city wall without stopping, staring at the secret doll girl from beginning to end.

Without Sheman's order, the secret doll girl had already opened her gray robe and jumped out of the city wall to meet her.

In an instant, surging flames and violent lightning swept out at the same time and hit the half-spider monster.

The power of the spell cast by the secret doll girl was not comparable to that of the elite steel golem. The half-spider monster who resisted the spell did not resist it this time, but evaded it flexibly, approaching the secret doll girl like a ghost, and slashed at the opponent with the scimitar in her hand and the legs under her body at the same time.

The secret doll girl was not afraid at all, holding the magic sword and fiercely fighting back.

The two sides fought fiercely in midair in a blink of an eye, and the battle became visibly intense.

The secret doll girl held a sword in one hand and a spell in the other, using both physical combat skills and spells, with amazing momentum.

Although the half-spider monster could not cast spells, it had many weapons, and the blood-colored lines on its body seemed to have some kind of defensive effect.

Every time a spell fell on the half-spider monster, the blood-colored lines flashed and could annihilate the spell without any damage.

The two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.

After a long battle, the half-spider monster seemed a little annoyed, and suddenly screamed, and a violet demon fire suddenly burned on its body, and its momentum suddenly soared.

The eight legs of the spider body were also wrapped in a layer of purple demon fire, waving dense blade phantoms to the secret doll girl.

Every time she was hit, a layer of faint distortion would appear on the surface of the Secret Doll Girl.

Sheman and Atil were surprised to see this.

Only they knew that it was the performance of the sharp drop in the defense of the Extreme Protection Ring.

It was obviously not like this when resisting the attack of the half-spider monster just now. The power of those purple demon fires was so terrifying?

Sheman stared at the demon fire on the half-spider monster with a frown.

For some reason, the breath emitted by the purple demon fire gave them a heavy sense of oppression.

"It doesn't look like elemental energy, nor is it mental power. It's an energy property that I have never seen before!"

Sheman was in doubt.

As the half-spider monster cast the demon fire, the Secret Doll Girl fell into a disadvantage in an instant!

Atil's eyes widened in shock.

You know, the Secret Doll Girl is a puppet comparable to the formal wizard level. What is the origin of that half-spider monster that can suppress the Secret Doll Girl?

At the same time

In the dark elf camp, the matriarchs of the twelve families also stared at the sky above the battlefield, paying close attention to the performance of the half-spider monster.

When they saw that the half-spider monster completely suppressed the opponent and firmly gained the upper hand, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and showed a happy expression of relief.

"As expected of the Lord of God, that wizard is no match at all!" Mistress Philier's eyes flashed with fanatical light.

"It's worth our great sacrifice."

Aurori was halfway through his words when he suddenly reacted and shook his head quickly to dispel the idea of ​​disrespect to the Queen of God.

How can this be a sacrifice?

This is the honor of those dark elf warriors!

Fortunately, the other matriarchs were full of ecstasy at this time and didn't pay attention to her words at all.

Mistress Lesta smiled and said, "Kill that wizard, the Star Alliance will be leaderless and will definitely be in chaos for a while. We can take this opportunity to counterattack!"

"That's right!" Mistress Philier nodded heavily, "As long as that wizard dies, the Star Alliance will not be afraid!"

The rest of the people were also full of excitement.

With the presence of the Lord of God, the Demon Spider City will definitely be able to unify the southeast region, no, unify the entire underground world!

Boom!

A figure fell to the ground like a meteor, blasting more than a dozen dark elf warriors and golems who were unable to dodge into slag, and a huge pit appeared on the ground in an instant.

The secret doll girl lay in the middle of the pit in a mess, her body covered with wounds, and her left arm was broken at the shoulder.

The half-spider monster was suspended in the air, looking down at the secret doll girl with cold eyes, with a condescending indifference in his eyes.

"We won!" Madam Philier showed a confident smile on her face.

Cheers rang out in the dark elf camp, and there were faint chants of praise.

The dark elf matrons did not scold their warriors, and they all showed joy on their faces.

The victory or defeat is determined!

Above the battlefield, the half-spider monster raised the scimitar in its hand, and the spider body under it also raised its sharp legs.

The next moment, she suddenly fell, and fell towards the secret doll girl like a falling star and a falling moon.

Looking at the posture, it was obvious that she wanted to end the battle with one blow!

Clang!

To everyone's surprise, the attack of the half-spider monster was blocked.

A tall and slender figure stood in front of the half-spider monster, holding the sword in both hands and blocking the legs of the falling scimitar.

In the distance, Madam Filier looked at the girl lying in the deep pit, and then looked at the other girl who blocked the messenger of God, with an expression of astonishment and confusion on her face.
