Game of the World Tree - Chapter 369

369. Chapter 367 Shearing Sheep

“Dorulu, why is this guy here?”

Looking at a figure that appeared in Black Rock City, Brin muttered in his heart.

It was a gnome wearing gorgeous human noble clothes. Although the human clothes were beautiful, they did not match the gnomes. Not only did he not look noble, but he looked like a clown.

At this moment, the gnome was accompanied by several guards and hurriedly walked towards the Temple of the God of Death in Black Rock City. There was a trace of anxiety and worry on his face, as if he had encountered something urgent.

The gnome Dorulu.

He was Brin’s classmate when he was studying abroad in the underground city of Shanatar when he was young. He was the first heir of the most powerful gnome family in the city-state of Shanatar, and he was also the grandson of the current chief.

He is currently a diplomat of Shanatar and is said to be the candidate for the next chief.

Just like the relationship between the City of Sharp Blades and the City of Shanatar, although the two are classmates, they have always disliked each other.

After Brin became the chief of the City of Blades, it is said that Dorulu once made a public statement, “With Brin’s idiotic ability, he will definitely bring the City of Blades into decline” and so on…

Of course, the fact is that he was jealous of Brin’s first position as the chief of the dungeon.

When Brin saw Dorulu, the other party also saw him.

The moment he saw Brin, Dorulu immediately put away his expression, and at the same time, his nose was raised to the sky, and he sarcastically mocked:

“Hey! Isn’t this Brin from the City of Blades?”

“I heard that the City of Blades spent many years of savings not long after the war started, and owed nearly 10,000 sets of sophisticated equipment to the surrounding city-states, and the reinforcements suffered heavy casualties. It seems… The chief of the City of Blades is still not good enough.”

“I don’t know what Lord Huoxu thought, and he actually passed the position of chief to such a guy…”

Hearing the sarcasm in the other party’s words, Brin’s face sank.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his anger and replied:

“It’s better than the trash who only talks about people behind their backs.”

After saying that, he glanced at the guards who followed behind Dororo, who looked tired and a little worried. Thinking of the geographical location of the two city-states, plus the military deployment of the Dark Alliance that he had long known… he already understood something in his heart.

He smiled slightly and said:

“Lord Dororo should do your own work as soon as possible. I heard that Shanatar has also become the target of the Dark Alliance’s attack. Now that we have repelled the enemy, maybe the other side will change its target. In that case… your city will be in danger.” “It’s

a pity… our Blade City suffered heavy losses in this war, and there is no way to provide any support.”

“Humph!”

After hearing what Brin said, Dororo’s face sank.

He looked at Brin deeply and walked towards the Temple of the God of Death with his personal soldiers.

Looking at the other side’s back, Brin shook his head slightly.

Looking at Dorulu’s expression, it was probably just as Lord Huoxu guessed, that the Dark Alliance did not choose to retreat, but changed the main attack direction and aimed at another underground city – Shanatar.

Dorulu came here, obviously to ask for help.

Although the elves and the Silent Alliance have signed a covenant, in fact, many underground cities of the Silent Alliance are still in a wait-and-see state when facing the elves.

On the one hand, it is because they are not under great pressure from the war at present, and on the other hand, they are very suspicious of the strength of these long ears. That

is to say, the City of Sharp Blades was besieged by the army and urgently needed reinforcements, so they pulled the elves here, thus fully demonstrating their terrifying combat effectiveness.

The successful defense of the City of Sharp Blades allowed other city-states to truly see the power of the elves.

Of course, they don’t know enough about the details of the battle now. All they know is that with the help of the elves, the City of Sharp Blades only took three days to repel the enemy…

and that the City of Sharp Blades seemed to have owed a lot of debts in this war…

Watching Dorulu enter the Temple of the God of Death, Brin sneered.

Haha.

The City of Blades owes debts?

I wonder how much Shanatar will owe!

He did change the agreement with the elves on behalf of the City of Blades, but that was only unilateral on the part of the City of Blades.

The underground world was originally full of competition and chaos. Although the City of Blades and Shanatar were both affiliated city-states of the Silent Alliance, they were also full of competition with each other.

In this case, the City of Blades, which had suffered a great loss, naturally would not consider anything for other city-states.

Even if they were allies.

Speaking of which, it was this group of allies who raised prices and made war profits when the City of Blades was besieged. Even the price of the equipment owed by the City of Blades from other city-states increased a lot…

not to mention the extra reinforcements.

It’s no wonder that the Silent Alliance can’t defeat the Dark Alliance. Without unity, no matter how powerful it is, it can’t be exerted, not to mention that it’s not as strong as the enemy…

In fact, in the agreement between the Silent Alliance and the elves, the description of the equipment is only “the Alliance needs to provide the necessary equipment for the supporting elves.”

The other details are newly added by the dungeon during the specific implementation process.

In other words, the agreement of the City of Blades does not apply to other dungeons.

And now, seeing that it is Shanatar’s turn to ask for help, Brin naturally won’t remind anything.

With the participation of the elves, the city will probably be defended, but it is unknown how much debt it will owe.

It will probably go bankrupt. After all, if the City of Blades is not captured, the Dark Alliance will definitely invest more power to besiege Shanatar…

Brin thought in his heart.

Thinking of the possible expression of Doruru after the end of the future war, Brin felt a little happy in his heart.

As a mature underground resident, he also remembers grudges.

Well…

When I go back this time, I will prepare well and see if I can make up for the lost wealth through the defense of Shanatar.

That’s right. As a qualified commercial dungeon chief, he has been thinking about how to use the information gap to shear Shanatar’s wool…

…

Dolulu did come to ask for help.

After the Dark Alliance’s army gave up the siege of the City of Blades, they quickly shifted their main attack target to them. For a time, the pressure on the entire city doubled.

With the precedent of the successful City of Blades, they naturally turned to the elves for help.

The process of their help was very smooth.

After losing the way to use the resurrection ability to brush equipment in the City of Blades, the regretful players received the call for help from the new city-state, and immediately became excited as if they had discovered a new continent.

So, Dolulu easily reached an agreement with the players.

Well… just like the City of Blades.
