Game of the World Tree - Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Black Rock City Defense

Black Rock City’s City Hall.

The old dwarf Balin sat at his desk, lowering his head to handle the daily affairs of Black Rock City.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the house, which made him look up and frown.

With the faint noise and screams, the dwarf Iron Hammer stumbled in:

“Lord Balin! Lord Balin! A team of dwarf guards suddenly came to the City Hall. They took away Elder Xilin and Elder Luotu! They also said that they are believers of darkness. You should go and take a look!”

Dwarf guards?

Balin’s pupils shrank slightly, and the feather pen in his hand was subconsciously pinched in half.

“How many people came? Where did they go?”

He asked, barely suppressing the fear in his heart.

“They should be here soon, you should go and persuade them! The City Hall is loyal to the Church of Death, how could there be believers of darkness? You…”

Iron Hammer was stunned halfway through his words.

Because he saw that Elder Balin, who usually kept his composure, turned around and opened the window in a hurry, intending to escape…

“Elder?”

Tiechui was still a little confused.

At this time, several fully armed dark dwarf guards rushed in:

“According to the order of the temple leader, arrest the dark believers! Balin, you have nowhere to go, surrender quickly!”

What happened? How could he be exposed?

Hearing the voice of the guards around him, Balin was terrified.

The elder turned out to be a dark believer?

Tiechui was stunned.

Balin panicked and hurriedly sped up his actions.

However, as soon as he climbed out of the house, he was surrounded by a team of guards again and was quickly tied up…

Similar things began to happen in all directions of Black Rock City. The dark dwarf guards seemed to have “eyes” and caught one accurately. A large number of dark believers were arrested…

…

In the mine cave in the back mountain of Black Rock City.

Several believers pushed the God’s Favored Hearthstone sitting in a wheelchair and fled in panic.

Hearthstone’s face was filled with disbelief:

“How did it get exposed? What on earth is going on?”

He had a very good plan. If the elves could cause chaos, he would order the dark believers to take the opportunity to sneak into the Death God Church to destroy the statue, and then attack from both inside and outside, and summon the shadow army to completely eliminate the Death God believers in Black Rock City.

And if the elves did not come as planned, he would honestly lurk for a while, wait for the Death God Church and the elf mercenaries to become careless, and then find a way to intensify the conflict between the two sides…

But… how come all his people were exposed in the blink of an eye?

Hearthstone looked panicked, and could only be surrounded by his confidants to escape to the outside of the city through the secret passage of the mine…

“It’s over, if we lose our foundation in Black Rock City this time, there will be no way to destroy the statue…”

Hearthstone’s face was pale.

As long as the statue of the Death God Temple still has power, Black Rock City will be almost unbreakable, and the dark believers will not be able to completely overthrow the faith rule of the Death God here!

Even if he prepared an army of shadow creatures as a trump card, it would probably be difficult to work.

Because for shadow creatures, the power of faith in the true god is a great threat and has great lethality!

He could already imagine what kind of wrath the true god would face if he failed in his mission.

Death is not scary, because the true god has many ways to make you suffer more after death!

Although Black Rock City is not large in scale, it was once one of the sources of faith for Holder, the god of darkness and shadow. After the followers of the God of Death completely expelled his faith here, the ancient true god was already angry and humiliated…

This time, the recapture of Black Rock City was the oracle issued by the true god himself for the believers!

If he fails, Hearthstone, as the leader, will surely end up miserably.

But… what exactly is going on?

Hearthstone couldn’t figure it out, so he could only flee in panic surrounded by his confidants…

But after he finally came to the outside of Black Rock City through the secret passage, he was stunned.

Someone was already waiting for him here.

“Hearthstone, you have no way to go.”

A crisp voice sounded. It was the female temple chief of the Temple of the God of Death!

She brought a team of dark dwarf guards to block the exit of the secret passage.

However, at this time, the dwarf temple master had completely recovered his original appearance and removed the possession of the death god Hela.

Hela’s consciousness had returned to the underworld.

“How did you… find us?”

Hearthstone gritted his teeth.

The death god temple master looked at Hearthstone with red eyes, sighed softly, and a trace of fanaticism surged in his expression:

“Under the gaze of the true god, nothing you can hide!”

True… true god?

Hearthstone was stunned for

a moment, and then he noticed that the death god temple master seemed to still have a faint breath of death power on his body… In an instant, he suddenly realized:

“So that’s it! You really used the statue to invite the power of the true god!”

The death god temple master neither admitted nor denied, but said:

“Surrender, Hearthstone, all your dark believers in the city have been captured by us.”

“Surrender?”

After hearing the words of the death god temple master, Hearthstone sneered.

After confirming that the death god temple had actually used the power of the statue, he calmed down instead.

Hearthstone narrowed his eyes and said,

“I don’t know if you are smart or stupid. You actually used the power of the temple to capture us. But… with such a large-scale investigation of heterodox beliefs, how much power does the temple have left?”

“No matter how much is left, you have already failed.”

The dwarf temple chief said.

“Hehe…”

Hearthstone smiled, and a hint of madness surged in his expression:

“It’s not certain who will win!”

After saying that, a deep energy began to gather on his body!

“Not good, hide quickly!”

The dwarf temple chief’s expression changed.

After hearing her order, all the dwarf guards retreated.

Under the solemn gaze of all the dark dwarves, this dark god-favored one actually burned his own faith power, and the whole person turned into a ball of black flames, and the deep light shot up into the sky!

“It’s… a signal!”

The dwarf temple chief looked solemn, but he was not panicked, as if he had expected it.

“It’s an emergency signal!”

In an underground forest outside Black Rock City, a dozen dark dwarves wearing gray and black robes looked solemnly in the direction of Black Rock City.

“It’s Lord Hearthstone. I’m afraid something has happened in the city. He ordered us to summon the Shadow Legion immediately.”

A low and hoarse voice said.

After speaking, the dark dwarves looked at each other, then nodded, stepped forward, and swept the fallen leaves on the ground…

and as the fallen leaves were cleared, gradually a huge magic circle that had been carved on the ground was revealed!

They came to the magic circle, knelt down around the magic circle, began to pray in a low voice, and chanted a rhythmic spell.

As they chanted, the magic circle gradually emitted a deep glow, and a chaotic and cold atmosphere began to condense.

At the same time, the center of the magic circle suddenly became bright, the ground began to shake, and a dark gray energy shot up into the sky!

…

In Black Rock City, the players who were still watching the internal fighting of the dark dwarves with surprise and curiosity suddenly felt the shaking of the earth.

“Look, what is that?”

Someone pointed to the sky.

The players looked up and found that there was a dark gray energy column shooting up into the sky in each direction, and a cold and chaotic atmosphere came from afar…

Then, the tops of the four energy columns collapsed one after another, as if they had become four spewing volcanoes, and smaller dark gray arcs fell to the ground like falling rain, and some even fell directly into Black Rock City!

As soon as they landed, these dark gray energies began to change like squirming jelly, and finally turned into black-gray translucent humanoid monsters wrapped in thick black smoke!

On the walls of Black Rock City, the dwarf guards looked at the dense and strange monsters that suddenly appeared below the city, and their faces changed.

“Shadow creatures! It’s the Shadow Creature Army!”

“Not good! Blow the alarm quickly, close the city gates, and notify the temple to activate the defensive magic!”

With the loud horn, the guards on the entire wall immediately took action…

“Captain of the Guard, it’s not good! The energy stored in the temple has run out!”

“What?!”

“But the head of the temple said that the elves will help us defend the city together!”

“Elves? Just them? What can they do?”

The captain of the dark dwarf city defense guard was suddenly speechless and angry.

…

In Black Rock City.

This place has long been completely in chaos with the landing of a small number of shadow monsters…

These shadow monsters that suddenly descended are extremely powerful, and normal attacks cannot cause effective damage to them at all, while the other side began to kill crazily in the city, devouring everything.

They roared, bared their teeth and claws, climbed on the houses, galloped on the ground, and tore all the creatures they saw with their claws surrounded by black mist!

The dwarf guards had to gather in twos and threes to fight the shadow monsters.

Wails, screams, roars, the collision of weapons, and the chanting of spells rang out everywhere…

Seeing this chaotic scene, the players were stunned.

“Fuck! Are the special effects so scary?”

Although they had experienced a great war with the orcs, this kind of terrifying monster still scared them.

“Don’t just stare! Go get your equipment! The war is going on! The war is going on!”

Demacia cursed inwardly and ran towards the city gate.

Other players also reacted, suppressed their fear of this ghost-like shadow creature in their hearts, and followed…

On the city wall, the captain of the dark dwarf guard led the soldiers to chop down a shadow creature that tried to climb up the city wall. Looking at the dense army of shadows in the distance, his expression was very ugly.

“I’m afraid the number is at least several thousand! It may even exceed ten thousand!”

His voice trembled a little.

Without the temple’s defense magic, how can Black Rock City resist? !

At this time, the guards around suddenly cried out:

“Captain, be careful!”

The captain of the dwarf guard was startled, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose.

He swung his sword and turned around, and saw a shadow monster that had descended into the city rushing towards him…

Caught off guard, he was suddenly rushed down, and even his weapon was knocked away, while the shadow monster waved its claws surrounded by black mist and stabbed at him…

Just when the captain of the dwarf guard was horrified and thought he was about to die, a huge fireball suddenly flew over and hit the shadow monster.

The fireball exploded, and the shadow monster let out a shrill scream, and half of the black smoke surrounding its body suddenly dissipated, revealing a dark gray translucent body.

The captain of the dwarf guard also took the opportunity to break free from the opponent’s claws, picked up his weapon and fled.

While panting, he looked in the direction where the fireball had just flown, and saw a pink-haired elf girl wearing a robe and holding a magic wand standing three or four meters away.

The elf girl was excited. She looked at her staff and murmured happily:

“I hit it! I hit it!”

The captain of the guard: …

and behind them, more fully armed elves rushed onto the city wall…

Their expressions were very strange, some nervous, some excited, warriors, mages, hunters, all kinds of professions… but they were all filled with high morale.

They were seen waving their weapons, howling and climbing up the city wall, and began to assist the dark dwarves in defense!

At the same time, the captain of the dwarf guard also heard the common language one after another:

“Support the dwarves!”

“Quick! Spread the defense! Don’t let a monster in!”

“Kill them!”

“Ura–!”

Looking at the elves who were more motivated than the dwarf soldiers, the captain of the guard was stunned.
