Game of the World Tree - Chapter 364
364. Chapter 362 Regretful Brin
When high-end combat power is not available and the mid- and low-end forces are evenly matched, the war in the underground world will generally last for a long time.
Perhaps before the support of the Allied Forces, the possibility of the Silent Castle Alliance successfully defending the City of Sharp Blades is still questionable.
But after the players joined the war as a fresh force, the war balance that was originally tilted towards the Dark Alliance quickly returned to balance.
Of course, the overall strength of the players is not high, and there is not a single strong man above the silver level. Such strength is not enough to completely reverse the situation…
But now that Segos’s magic power has just begun to recover, and the main forces of various races are still at the Black Iron level, it is more than enough for the players as the bottom-level army to withstand the pressure of the front battlefield.
At least… for now.
So, a long tug-of-war began on the wall of the City of Sharp Blades.
The Dark Alliance did not know how many years of accumulated undead soldiers, and they rushed to the City of Sharp Blades in waves, trying to consume the opponent’s strength step by step.
Close combat is always the most powerful means of the undead.
Looking from the air in the underground cave, you will see a shocking picture…
The undead surrounded the Blade City, which was flashing with defensive magic, like a tide. They marched in neat steps and rushed to the magnificent city wall under the command of the Death Knight.
Then, these cold dead climbed up the city wall like ants along the ladders and fought with the defenders on the wall.
On the city wall, the crowd was clearly divided into two parts.
One was the undead army that climbed up the city wall along the ladders; the other was a strange alliance including elves, dark dwarves and underground gnomes.
They fought on the city wall, and the battle was extremely tragic.
Swords flashed and arrows flew.
Shouts, laughter, screams, and the sound of broken bones mixed together… It was extremely chaotic, but it maintained a wonderful balance.
Neither side could completely drive the other side off the city wall, and the two sides were deadlocked.
From time to time, undead were pushed down from the city wall, and from time to time, defenders fell outside the city wall…
Of course, if you look closely, you will find that most of the defenders who fell outside the city wall were supporting elves…
These warriors who came to support from the aboveworld have completely replaced the soldiers of the Silent Alliance and become the main force of the defensive war.
Perhaps… their number is not as large as that of dwarves and underground gnomes, but they are often the first to rush to the front.
Of course, they also have the highest proportion of deaths in battle.
The city wall is already full of dry bones, which are the remains of the destroyed undead soldiers.
These bones have long lost their vitality, so a certain great existence simply used the ability hidden in the elves to absorb the soul fire of the undead, and then ignored these broken skeletons.
On the contrary, some elves who don’t know what they are thinking have collected a lot, and they are still muttering that they are all top-quality materials while collecting…
As the war continues, the defenders of the Silent Alliance also admire these elven allies who participated in the war more and more.
The underground world is very chaotic, and in a chaotic place, only the strong will be respected.
Perhaps the strength of these elves individually is not high, but the unity they show as a whole, the fearlessness of sacrifice and bravery, and even the greatness of being willing to sacrifice their lives to destroy the enemy… all shocked the underground residents!
Don’t provoke these strange elves easily in the future. It is better to be their friends than their enemies…
After seeing the madness of these elves, this idea has become a consensus among the city defenders.
However, what surprised the Silent Alliance defenders the most, from surprise to shock, shock to horror, and finally from horror to numbness, is that no matter how many of these elves die, new people will fill in soon.
These mysterious reinforcements from the ground seem endless, just like cockroaches and rats in the underground world…
Not only that… As time goes by, their number continues to increase.
However, the elves who came to support later were generally not very strong, and obviously lacked practical experience. They were just rookies.
But even so, they were like their predecessors, shouting and screaming excitedly, and rushed into the battlefield…
Of course, their death rate was even higher.
And in this strange situation, the soldiers of the Silent Alliance gradually found themselves isolated to the edge of the war.
In addition to helping the elves, they had almost become spectators of the war…
This kind of war lasted for three days and three nights.
And the chief of the City of Blades, Brin, who promised the elves a reward, was also in pain and joy as the war continued. He
was happy because with the support of the elves, the City of Blades could obviously be defended.
But the pain was that he found that he seemed to have paid a small price for his promise…
“Tucker, have you counted it?”
Brin stood near the teleportation array, looking at the underground dwarf who was responsible for counting the payment, and asked expressionlessly.
The underground gnome holding a thick stack of books wiped the sweat from his head and said:
“Chief… the statistics show that after we have distributed the armor and weapons in our inventory, there are still many elves who have joined the war and asked to pay with equipment. In the past three days, we have owed a total of 13,184 sets of black iron equipment…” Brin
:…
Hearing this exaggerated number, the chief of the City of Blades felt a black screen in front of his eyes and a little dizzy…
He took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked in a trembling voice:
“Then… what about gold pounds?”
The underground gnome in charge of statistics swallowed his saliva.
He hesitated for a moment and said with difficulty:
“A set of excellent black iron equipment can be replaced by 300 pounds of gold coins, and in the past three days… we have paid a total of 18.58 million pounds of gold coins…”
Brin:…
Hearing this number, the young chief felt a sweetness in his throat and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood…
Although he had witnessed the elves rushing in like a tide in the past few days, and even he gradually became numb from shock, but when he heard this number, he still felt a pain in his heart.
Eighteen million pounds of gold coins!
That’s eighteen million pounds of gold coins!
The annual fiscal revenue of the City of Blades is only three million pounds!
All of a sudden, six years of savings went down the drain in just three days!
Of course, the number behind this number is also terrifying…
If you convert it, plus the first batch of 8,000 sets of equipment, the elves actually dispatched nearly 80,000 people in total!
And now, the number of elves fighting on the city wall is roughly around 15,000, which means that 65,000 people died in the battle.
They didn’t even leave their bodies…
Where did so many desperate elves come from?
It’s impossible to find so many even if you turn the entire Segos world upside down? !
Brin was full of doubts.
However… all of this is true.
At this moment, Brin almost wanted to travel back to three days ago and beat himself half to death for making such a promise so easily…
regret…
really regret it!
Such a large sum of wealth, even for the wealthy City of Blades, it would be painful to take it out all at once.
