Game of the World Tree - Chapter 373

Chapter 371: Betrayal and Change

“Hmph! These elves have the ability to resurrect. Don’t you understand the reason? Who is the great existence in this world that can give living beings the ability to resurrect?!”

“It’s the great God of Death!”

“No matter what kind of existence Eve, the goddess of life these elves believe in, is, she must have a great relationship with His Majesty whom we believe in!”

“This request for help was designated by the oracle of Her Majesty the Goddess. Although we were tricked by the elves, the contract is real and we are blessed by Her Majesty the Goddess!”

“In this case, violating the contract is violating the oracle of Her Majesty the Goddess!”

Looking at Dorulu who was holding his head in embarrassment in front of him, the old chief’s voice was full of regret.

He took a deep breath and said angrily:

“And… you want to disobey? Have you asked those elves if they agree?”

“These elves certainly have shortcomings, but their fighting power is real. Have you ever thought about what angering them will bring to the city-state under the current circumstances?”

“These are 20,000 elves who will be resurrected continuously! Although we don’t know what the price will be for their resurrection and how many times they can be resurrected, facing them, our underground city with a population of only 50,000 can’t bear it at all!”

“We are already under attack by the Dark Alliance. If we turn against our allies at this moment, do you think the life of our city-state is too long?!”

The old chief roared, spitting all over Dorulu’s head and face, but the latter didn’t dare to refute at all.

As if he was tired of talking, the old chief stopped trembling and breathing heavily.

Seeing this, Dorulu hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively:

“Then…what should we do?”

Seeing the other party like this, the chief’s eyes became more and more disappointed:

“Ah…”

“It’s my fault for not educating you well. It’s a serious mistake to let you become the next chief.”

“You are far worse than Brin of the City of Blades. If you are still so stupid, how can I trust you to hand over the city-state? You don’t have the qualifications and ability to become the chief at all…”

“It seems that I need to reconsider the candidate for successor.”

After hearing the chief’s words, Dorulu’s face turned pale and his head lowered deeper.

The chief sighed deeply and shook his head:

“I have already told the financial steward that the promises made remain the same, but the newly joined elves can only receive one set of equipment.”

“This is also the practice of the City of Blades.”

After speaking, he glanced at Dorulu, and his voice was a little depressed:

“You…go down.”

Dorulu bit his lip after hearing this.

He took a deep breath, bowed slightly to his chief grandfather, turned around and left…

After Dorulu left the chief’s mansion, his face suddenly darkened.

He returned to his home, drew out his dagger angrily, and smashed all the furniture he saw, while roaring angrily:

“I’m stupid? What’s wrong with my idea? Am I not also doing this for the city-state?!”

“Should we just endure it after suffering a loss?! This is the underground world, this is the Silent Alliance, not the surface!”

“So what if they are resurrected? The God of Death’s favored ones can only be resurrected several times. Can those elves be resurrected infinitely? What are you afraid of?! If the teleportation array is turned off, they can’t come here at all!”

Dorulu roared, smashing everything in the house, and scared the servants away.

And he looked ferocious, like a mad monster.

“The protection of the God of Death? What about the God of Death? Aren’t we still under siege by the Lord of Darkness?”

“Humph! You actually want to cancel my succession rights! You even compare me to that damn Brin!”

“I knew it! In his heart, there will always be only his outstanding disciple, and never a grandson like me!”

“Humph! Since you want to treat me like this, don’t blame me…”

As if he had made up his mind, Doruru gradually calmed down.

But at this moment, his expression became very scary.

He threw away the dagger in his hand, put on his funny human noble robe, and then left home alone.

He walked to the streets of the Shanatar city-state, followed the winding road to the commercial district in the city, and finally came to the chaotic gray area, found an inconspicuous tavern and walked in.

There were few guests in the tavern, and after Doruru entered, he went straight to the corner of the tavern and found a figure wearing a pointed hat.

It was a dark dwarf wizard.

The other party didn’t seem surprised by Dorulu’s arrival. He smiled slightly and asked sinisterly:

“Sir Dorulu, what have you thought about it?”

Dorulu narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party deeply:

“I can participate in your plan, but I have a request. After the plan is successful, I must serve as the co-chief of the two city-states of Shanatar and City of Blades!”

After hearing his words, the dwarf wizard raised his eyebrows slightly, and then chuckled:

“Mr. Dorulu, this is not among the conditions. At most… we support you to be the chief of the city-state of Shanatar.”

Dorulu was not surprised to hear this. He snorted and said:

“Huh, for you, isn’t it the same who is the chief? And… if I become the chief, I will naturally vigorously promote the conversion work in the two city-states, so that the citizens can return to the correct beliefs as soon as possible…” “

In addition, I have an important piece of information that I can tell you as a gift. Aren’t you very curious about the origins of these supporting elves?”

…

The defense of the city-state of Shanatar has entered a protracted war mode.

As time went by, the frequency of the Dark Alliance’s sieges became lower and lower, even to the point where the Phantom Alliance doubted whether the other side wanted to end the war.

However, despite this, the army besieging the city did not retreat, and still put great pressure on Shanatar.

This also shows that the other side has not given up the war.

Perhaps for some unknown reason, the Dark Alliance temporarily stopped the attack and chose to station outside the city to maintain the situation of the army pressing on the border.

Of course, because most of these besieging armies are fallen undead, as long as the commander has enough magic power, theoretically, they can maintain it forever.

However, the Dark Alliance can maintain it this way, but the players can’t stand it.

They are here to play games, not to be real soldiers. Defending the city day after day, but unable to fight hard, and unable to keep up with the experience gain, this has become a torment for them.

Many players decisively gave up defending the city after persisting for a few days. They chose to return to the surface or explore other areas of the underground world in order to advance as soon as possible.

There are fewer and fewer players participating in the defense on the city wall, but it is maintained at a relative level. This is a kind of balance brought about by the continuous flow of personnel.

The senior officials of the Shanatar city-state also complained about this.

However, considering that the current city defense pressure is indeed not great, and the other party also promised in the agreement that once the war breaks out, they will return to support as soon as possible, so they endured it.

In this case, the war in the underground world has gradually evolved from a large-scale task to a war scene in an underground map…

Participating in the war is no longer the theme of players coming to the Silent City-State Alliance, but commercial activities and exploring unknown maps.
