Game of the World Tree - Chapter 387

387. Chapter 385 Reinforcements Arrived

There is no day or night in the underground world, only eternal darkness.

The dim environment makes the underground world more depressing and gloomy than the surface, and for the Holy City of Death Itkazaar, this kind of depression can be said to have reached its peak at this moment.

The holy city, which is not large in scale, has been surrounded by a large army.

It is the army of the Dark City-State Alliance.

The Lich King Perronie personally took charge, leading an army of 50,000 undead, 20,000 cannon fodder troops composed of goblins, monsters and magic beasts, and an ordinary army composed of 15,000 mind suckers and dark dwarves, and launched a siege on Itkazaar, which had less than 8,000 defenders.

In addition to the army with the Black Iron rank as the main force, the Dark Alliance has nearly 200 silver professionals and seven gold professionals!

Four death knights, two mind sucker blood warlocks, and a dwarf warrior.

Among the silver professionals and gold professionals, nearly half were promoted in the past six months.

It was the surge in strength that gave the Lich King the confidence to fight the Silent Alliance.

The force besieging Itkazaar was equivalent to more than one-third of the strength of the entire Dark City-State Alliance.

The Lich King was determined to win this holy city.

The Dark Alliance army had been besieging the city for three days.

During these three days, they had launched four consecutive attacks.

Although they still failed to break through Itkazaar, they had already put great pressure on the city defense and the defenders.

Anyone with a little military knowledge could see that although the holy city’s defensive divine barrier still had sufficient energy, the defenders in the city had suffered heavy casualties.

Under the several attacks of the Dark Alliance, more than half of them had been killed or wounded, and their morale had fallen to a very dangerous level…

If it weren’t for their firm belief in the God of Death, and if most of Itkazaar’s soldiers were not devout believers, I’m afraid many of them would have planned to escape through the teleportation array.

There were no more supporting troops.

In addition to the City of Sharp Blades, the remaining ten underground city-states that were not besieged were relatively small in size.

Not only were they not strong, but they also had limited support for five friendly states that were besieged by five Dark Alliance armies.

Itkazar had received the most support, but faced with the larger and more powerful Dark Alliance army, these supports could only be exhausted with the repeated attacks of the local forces. The Dark City-State Alliance,

which had fifty underground city-states and integrated its strength, was far more powerful than the Silence City-State Alliance, which had only seventeen city-states and a loose structure.

On the walls, abandoned equipment was everywhere, and blood dyed the earth black and red. The corpses that had been remotely purified to prevent them from becoming undead were either lying in a mess under the city or piled on the walls and burned by the defenders…

The pungent smell was nauseating.

There was no way around it.

Because no one knew whether these purified corpses would stand up again with the next attack of the Dark Alliance, turning into fallen undead and continuing to join the battle…

in the camp of the Dark City-State Alliance.

Lich King Perronie wiped a heavy black book inlaid with gold, quietly waiting for something.

The cover of the book was dotted with bone patterns and a pattern symbolizing death, and there was a faint divine power flowing slowly on it.

However, if you look closely, you will find that the book is also inlaid with a dark gray shadow gem that is not very suitable.

The Lich King injected his own power into the shadow gem, and the whole book exuded a faint halo…

The halo scattered, and for a time, the undead army of the Dark Alliance bowed their heads.

This is a real artifact, called the Book of Death.

It is precisely because of this real artifact that the Lich King can control the fallen undead, so that the Lonely Alliance dare not easily use the undead army.

And just when the Lich King was controlling the Book of Death, suddenly, a death knight came in front of him.

The other party knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice:

“Your Majesty, the envoy we sent to Itkazar to persuade him to surrender has been executed by the Grand Temple Master of the Church of Death. They placed the body on the top of the city and cremated it in public…”

After hearing his words, the Lich King Perronie paused slightly.

He was silent for a few seconds, sneered, and said:

“Got it.”

“Since the other side is unwilling to surrender, let’s launch the final siege.”

“Pass the order, all troops will attack and start the siege! After the city is broken, all soldiers are allowed to loot for three days!”

With the order of the Lich King, the roar of the underground monsters resounded on the battlefield, and the entire Dark Alliance army immediately took action.

Unlike the previous sieges, this time, the tens of thousands of troops surrounding Itkazaar came out in full force and launched a general attack.

The goblins were still the first to launch the attack.

Driven by the undead, they brandished simple weapons, carried the ladders they had made, and rushed towards the city wall with a howl.

Behind them, a legion of 50,000 fully armed and well-equipped undead followed in neat steps…

The earth was shaking, and the evil and cold power formed by the fallen undead gathered together turned into endless smoke shrouding the air…

As the smoke continued to spread, the corpses on the battlefield that had been remotely purified by the death priests stood up again under the influence of some strange power and joined the undead army.

For a time, the already huge undead army grew again!

Those goblins, monsters and monsters that died in the previous attacks turned into fallen undead, gained more powerful power, and joined the sea of undead.

Feeling the amazing momentum, the defenders on the city wall changed color.

Their already low morale was shaken again.

The vanguard of the Dark Alliance quickly rushed under the city wall.

Inspired by the Lich King, their morale was high, and even the army of the undead became fiercer. They did not need to plunder, but they had a strong desire to devour the souls of living beings…

After several attacks, the defenders of the Holy City of Death were already exhausted.

Their resistance was like an egg hitting a stone. After roaring and killing a few besieged goblins, they were soon overwhelmed by more monsters and undead in the face of more and more enemies…

The dark army, like ants, surged under the city wall like a tide, set up ladders, climbed up the city wall one after another, and launched a one-sided fight with the remnants of the Lonely Alliance.

Seeing this scene, the chief of the Itkazaar city-state on the city wall turned pale.

He looked at the Grand Temple Master Neil who was standing beside him, distractedly controlling the entire city’s underground defense core remotely while closing his eyes to pray, and said anxiously:

“Lord Neil! The Dark Alliance has launched the final attack. Even with the troops from other city-states coming to support us, we only have less than 5,000 soldiers left! Lord Neil, if there are no more reinforcements, we really can’t hold on!”

Grand Temple Master Neil was not panicked at all.

He slowly opened his pure eyes, and his clear gaze just passed over the battlefield and met the eyes of the Lich King Perronie in the Dark Alliance army.

Seeing the sight from the city wall, the eyes of the Lich King under the demon mask flickered.

He gently raised his right hand and made a thumbs-down gesture.

But Grand Temple Master Neil didn’t care about the provocation of the Lich King.

His eyes passed Perronie, passed his dark army, and finally stopped at a more distant place…

“Our reinforcements have arrived.”

He said in a gentle voice.

After hearing the words of the Grand Temple Master, the chief of the Holy City followed his gaze.

Suddenly, a cloud of smoke rose up from the southeastern border…

A strange cavalry composed of elves and crypt spiders appeared in his sight.

Emmmm, I feel that the writing is not as good as I want.

This is the second update to make up for yesterday.
