Game of the World Tree - Chapter 367

367. Chapter 365 Can these elves be resurrected?

“The Dark Alliance retreated too quickly.”

Looking at the terrifying number of troops outside the city wall, Huoxu murmured.

As a dark dwarf who has participated in many wars, Huoxu knows much more about the Dark City-State Alliance than others.

The fallen undead are considered to be the common vanguard of the Dark City-State Alliance. Generally speaking, the other party will not retreat without breaking the target or exhausting the prepared undead army.

But now, the other party has only lost half of the undead army, but has stopped the siege of the City of Sharp Blades.

This is not normal.

There is only one meaning for this situation, that is, the other party is determined to win this war.

Therefore… after discovering that the City of Sharp Blades is stronger than imagined and there is no hope of breaking the city, the army of the Dark Alliance retreated.

This kind of retreat is not to give up the attack, but like a wolf that has bitten the target, it lurks in the darkness again, conserving physical strength, preparing for a better opportunity, in order to achieve a fatal blow…

However, this also indirectly shows that the other party has realized the power of the City of Sharp Blades.

Looking at the gradually retreating undead army, Huoxu sighed:

“It seems… this war will really take a long time…”

“I don’t know when my Lord can truly control the power that belongs to Him and make these betrayers pay a painful price…”

The undead army actually attacked the city that believed in the God of Death as the besieger…

Although the opponent was the fallen undead who escaped the control of the God of Death under the influence of the power of shadows and the power of the abyss, there was nothing more frustrating than this.

However… this is the reality of the Church of the God of Death in the underground world.

Compared with the God of Darkness and Shadows, who had already begun to lay out in the underground world ten thousand years ago, the influence of the God of Death Hela in the underground world is really too small.

Perhaps His status is higher than that of the God of Darkness and Shadows, Holder, but a high status does not mean that he can suppress the opponent in all directions.

The underground world has long become Holder’s home ground. It is already remarkable that the Church of the God of Death can tear a gap under the opponent’s nose and establish a city-state alliance that can compete with it.

If the power of faith is weak, even the most powerful true god can easily overturn in the struggle in the secular world.

Not to mention, this is an underground world full of dark power, infiltrated by Holder, and closer to the abyss!

Of course, what Huoxu didn’t know was that at this moment, the Dark Alliance was also shocked by the power displayed by the City of Sharp Blades.

Among them, the elves who seemed to suddenly appear, with strong fighting power, and completely disregarding life and death, and who seemed to have strange powers, could absorb the soul fire of the undead and completely crush the replenishment ability of the undead army… were the key to the Dark Alliance’s choice to withdraw.

In the upper elves of the Dark Alliance, someone has begun to investigate the strange elves that appeared on the battlefield this time.

Behind the Dark Alliance army, in a temporary camp.

A humanoid monster wearing a black cloak and a lavender body was standing in front of a burning black flame, chanting something.

His head looked like a big octopus, with four tentacles that kept wriggling near his mouth, long and dragging to his chest, and a layer of reflective transparent mucus could be faintly seen.

This is a mind sucker.

Like the Dark Dwarves and the Underdwarves, the Mind Flayers are also an intelligent species in the underground world.

They are natural spellcasters, good at mental and soul spells, and most of them believe in Holder, the god of darkness and shadows. The one in front of him is the lord of an underground city-state called Orindor in the Dark City-State Alliance, a blood warlock with mid-level gold strength.

Orindor is an underground city-state not far from the City of Sharp Blades. It has trade frictions with the City of Sharp Blades for many years, and the two city-states are historical enemies.

The troops besieging the Blade City this time were also led by the dungeon lord who was subdued by the Lich King Perronie.

Of course, it is impossible for the power of the Orindor city-state to gather such a powerful army on weekdays.

This was the army that the Lich King Perronie used to centralize power after integrating the power of the Dark Alliance and pulling together from nearby city-states…

At this moment, the city lord of the Orindor city-state stood in the camp, chanting obscure spells.

As he chanted, the black flame floating in front of him quickly expanded and eventually turned into an eye composed of deep flames.

Those eyes exuded a heart-pounding aura, which made the lord of Orindor couldn’t help but lower his proud head. He said with a little respect:

“Great Lord of Mothra City, Lich King, your loyal subordinates have important matters to report…”

“We suffered a setback in the siege of the City of Blades. The City of Blades sought support from the elves. Those elves are very strange and there are many of them. Their weapons seem to be blessed by the true gods on earth, and they cause great damage to the undead…”

“We have sent investigators and have a preliminary understanding of the origins of these elves. They come from the earth, and seem to believe in a strange god named Eve…”

“I suspect… this war has attracted the attention of other great beings…”

The commander of the coalition forces told everything he knew.

After hearing his words, the eyes made of flames flickered slightly, and a majestic and heavy voice sounded:

“I already know about it.”

“I will inform my Lord of this matter and ask Him to make the decision.”

“The power of the Silent Alliance has always been scattered and not united. Since the City of Sharp Blades has found strong support, you should withdraw your troops and go north to support Shanatar…”

Shanatar is another underground city-state affiliated with the Silent Alliance, and it is also the first target of the dark city-state attack this time.

However, the City of Sharp Blades was the main attack direction before, and Shanatar was the auxiliary attack direction.

Shanatar is closer to other Silent Alliance city-states, which is convenient for support, so there is not much pressure.

“I understand.”

The mayor of Orindor bowed deeply to show his respect.

…

The Dark Alliance withdrew!

When the army besieging the City of Sharp Blades finally retreated, the whole City of Sharp Blades welcomed the cheers like a festival.

The merchants once again came to the city with courage to trade with the dwarves and gnomes, and the commercial activities of the entire City of Sharp Blades started to operate again.

Brin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, he didn’t have to go bankrupt!

However, although he breathed a sigh of relief, he was still alert in his heart.

Unlike the common people, the God-favored One Huoxu had already told him his concerns. He knew that this war was far from over. It was just that the Dark Alliance had temporarily given up attacking the City of Sharp Blades.

Just as he was thinking about how to arrange the city defense next, he suddenly received a piece of news that shocked him and instantly made him realize a series of recent events –

“What? You said… these elves who support us have the ability to be immortal? After they die, they will be resurrected in the world above?!”
