Game of the World Tree - Chapter 350

350. Chapter 348 The Envoy Arrives

In the underground world, in the underground lake southwest of the Deep Rift Cave, a huge ground water lizard is swimming in the water…

Behind it sit more than a dozen underground races in different costumes, mainly dark dwarves and underground gnomes.

If you look closely, you will find that although these underground races are dressed differently, they all have the same sickle-shaped symbol on their chests.

It is a symbol of the god of death and is often used in formal occasions.

In the underground world, this symbol has another meaning, that is, the wearer belongs to a large city-state organization in the western region of the underground world – the Silent City-State Alliance, and is one of the many underground city residents who believe in the god of death.

The city-state alliance is a common coalition force in the underground world. Although this alliance structure is loose, and the city-states within it often fight each other, and some are even mortal enemies, when facing the invasion of powerful external forces, they will unite and face the outside world together.

The Silent City-State Alliance is an alliance of many small and medium-sized city-states that believe in the God of Death. They occupy part of the upper area in the western part of the Underdark and have been enemies with another city-state organization in the western region, the Dark City-State Alliance, which believes in the God of Darkness and Shadows.

Of course, unlike the Dark City-State Alliance, which has a long history and nearly fifty dungeons, the Silent City-State Alliance is young and weak, with only seventeen cities in total.

It is worth mentioning that although the Black Rock City in the Deep Rift Cave also believes in the God of Death, this dungeon is remote and small in scale, and was originally built by dark dwarf fugitives of different beliefs, so it does not belong to any city-state alliance…

Of course, as time goes by, the Church of the God of Death has taken control of Black Rock City, and Black Rock City is close to the entrance to the surface world from the western border of the underground world, with a superior geographical location, so… it is only a matter of time before they join the Silent City-State Alliance.

Obviously, the people riding the ground water lizard this time should be a delegation from the Silent City-State Alliance, and their destination is Black Rock City in the Deep Rift Cave.

At the head of the ground water lizard, an old dark dwarf with a long gray-red beard and a big bald head was leaning on a staff, standing there silently, vaguely like the leader of the group.

He was wearing a black wizard robe, with a serious expression. The deep wrinkles and vicissitudes of life on his face made him look a little more melancholy, as if he was worried about something.

The old dwarf was called Firebeard, and he was 141 years old this year.

He was named this because dwarves consider beards beautiful, and when he was young, he had a long red beard like fire, which made the dwarves proud and was sought after by many female dark dwarves…

Of course, that was when he was young.

Even though Firebeard was a lower-level gold professional, his life span was almost twice that of ordinary people, but among the dark dwarves with an average life span of 100 years, he was now considered an old man.

Logically speaking, no matter how strong the dark dwarves of this age are, they will often choose to retire and choose to retire in the dungeon, and at most participate in the decision-making of some major affairs as a member of the elders’ council.

However… the war has come.

This war was initiated by the Dark City-State Alliance, which believes in the God of Darkness and Shadows. The purpose is simple, that is, to defeat and destroy the

Silent City-State Alliance. The Dark City-State Alliance has long been hostile to and coveted the Silent City-State Alliance. However, due to the constant struggles among its internal city-states and serious internal friction, although the overall strength is far stronger than the Silent City-State Alliance, it has maintained a delicate balance with the

Silent City-State Alliance for thousands of years. However, since the magic power of the entire Segos plane rebounded last year, the lord of the Dark City-State Alliance’s largest dungeon, Moso City, “Lich King Perronie”, took the opportunity to break through to the legendary level, and with the support of some hidden existences, he integrated the power of the entire city-state alliance in a very short time, and this balance was broken.

When the balance is broken, war comes.

As the previous chief of the largest dungeon in the Silent City-State Alliance, the Blade City, and the god of death in the underground world, Firebeard, one of the leaders of the dark dwarves, must naturally shoulder his own responsibilities.

This time, he will lead the messengers from other dungeons to Black Rock City for help.

As a dark dwarf, Huoxu had traveled in the underground world when he was young, and he had also been to Black Rock City.

In Huoxu’s memory, Black Rock City was just a remote small city with a population of only a few thousand.

Such an underground city has low strength and weak foundation. Except for the presence of another dark dwarf god-favored person, it can be said to be very weak. It

can even be said that if it were not located in the remote border of the underground world, such a city would have been annexed by other dungeons long ago!

However… Such a city has become a place of hope in the oracle of His Majesty the God of Death, telling them that the chance of winning this war is here, suggesting that they go here for help.

Not only that, His Majesty the God of Death even issued an oracle to arrange ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays in various dungeons!

And the other end of the ultra-long-distance teleportation array is naturally Black Rock City.

In other words, the reinforcements sought will be teleported directly from Black Rock City to various dungeons to join their battlefield.

However, Huoxu could not figure out what kind of reinforcements Black Rock City would have…

He had been to Black Rock City before and knew that there were only a few thousand Dark Dwarves in Black Rock City, and not many of them had reached the upper level of Black Iron.

This war was on a grand scale, and what role could a few thousand Dark Dwarves who were not good at fighting play?

Of course, as a devout believer in the God of Death, Huoxu had long been accustomed to the habit of his true god speaking half of his words.

Besides… he did hear some rumors some time ago, although the content was absurd, but it was very likely related to the oracle of the True God.

That is, half a year ago, Black Rock City had been besieged by the shadow army and successfully defeated the other side, and also defeated a shadow dragon!

However, considering that there have been strange phenomena all over the world in the past year, all kinds of strange and absurd news have been spread one after another in the black market, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, so… Huoxu did not know whether it was true or false.

However, although he was confused, Huoxu still carried out the instructions of the True God.

But others were different.

Most of the people in the delegation had heavy faces and worried brows.

This situation continued until they crossed the underground lake and arrived in front of Black Rock City.

“Is this Black Rock City? The place where there is hope in the oracle of the God of Death? The city where a shadow dragon was defeated according to rumors?”

Looking at the low walls of the rock city in front of them, where the surrounding borders can be seen at a glance, an underground dwarf in the team frowned slightly.
