In the dark and deep underground world.

Thor was hiding not far from the exit of the underground passage, chewing food in his mouth while paying attention to the movements around him.

In the dangerous underground world, even the slightest carelessness may lead to death.

Therefore, we need to stick together to survive.

This is also the reason why clans are rampant. Once a dungeon lord establishes a fortress, a large number of races will join and seek refuge, because it is too difficult to survive.

Whoosh!

He nailed the poisonous snake at his feet to death with one sword, then Thor stood up with his sword in hand, preparing to move to another hiding spot.

The smell of blood will attract predators, which will reveal his presence.

Just as he stood up, he suddenly moved sideways out of thin air.

Behind him, a flash of sword light flashed, narrowly cutting open the leather armor on his body.

clang!

The long sword still stained with snake blood in his hand narrowly blocked the long sword that was swept towards his neck. The crisp sound of metal collision broke the quiet space of the underground world.

"It's you!"

Thor, who moved forward to distance himself and turned his head, recognized the silver-haired and purple-eyed female elf behind him, wearing a tight-fitting hunting suit and holding a long sword.

Ellie!

The strongest assassin under the Stormlord.

It is also the sharpest dagger in the hands of the adventurer lord who is growing at a terrifying rate. He can naturally recognize people after they have met several times.

And the other party's appearance here means...

Whoa, whoa!

Silhouettes surrounded them.

"What does this mean? Is the Storm Leader going to take action against its allies?"

While he was beating him up and questioning him, Thor slowly distanced himself.

"If you surrender now, you can avoid death!"

Ellie's tone was cold and did not waver because of Thor's words.

For her, Zhao Hao's orders are everything.

Not to mention already knowing Sisi's private actions, even if she didn't know she would still take action.

Giving the opponent a chance to surrender was because Zhao Hao wanted to recruit the opponent to surrender. Otherwise, it was her style to directly attack without beeping.

Looking at the other person's expression, a wry smile appeared on Thor's lips.

Sure enough, the terrifying adventurer lord seemed to have noticed his move and was ready to take action in advance.

"Sorry, my master will only be Master Sisi!"

Thor raised his sword to show his attitude.

Seeing the opponent's movements, Ellie bent slightly and prepared to attack.

The underground world is not only the opponent's home field, but also the Shadow Swordsman's home field. After the opponent is exposed, there is no chance of leaving alive.

Boom!

A cloud of mist suddenly spread, covering the surrounding area, including the two of course.

Clang, clang!

In the smoke, metal collisions continued to sound.

The surrounding shadow swordsmen not only did not rush in to help, but even kept retreating, just maintaining the encircling formation.

Duel!

Give Ellie and Thor a chance to fight one another.

After a few minutes, the smoke dissipated and the sound of metal clashing stopped.

There are two figures in the circle, one standing and one lying down.

The person standing was naturally Ellie. On her cold and delicate face, there was a trace of blood from a crossbow arrow. There were also a few gaps in the 'Deep Shadow' dragon skin suit on her body, proving that she had been struck by several swords.

It is precisely by taking advantage of the equipment and taking a few blows from the opponent to exchange injuries for injuries that you can defeat the opponent quickly.

Without the equipment advantage, it would not be so easy to defeat the opponent.

"Cough!" Thor, lying on the ground with his whole body stained red, coughed up a lot of blood, looked at Ellie and said, "Don't think you won!"

Having said this, a smile appeared on his face, a smile of victory.

Because Thor felt that he lost the battle, but he also won.

The news of the invasion of the Storm Territory has been spread by him, and the mission has been successfully completed. After receiving the news, Sisi must be able to rely on the fortress's defense advantage to hold on.

Once the confrontation lasts a little longer, the dungeon lord will definitely take action.

After all, surface forces invading the underground world are public enemies.

Just like when underground forces invade the surface, a coalition army is formed in minutes to teach them how to behave.

No matter how chaotic the underground world is, there are still unspoken rules for joining forces to deal with the invasion of foreign enemies.

Everyone knows how threatening it will be once surface forces gain a stable foothold underground.

Ellie reached out and took something from a shadow swordsman.

A palm-sized lizard.

There didn't seem to be anything surprising, but Thor's expression suddenly changed as he was lying on the ground.

Animal messenger!

This is his special way of delivering information.

Just like the animal trainers in the fortress camp can create communication tools such as birds, the dark elves can also raise animal messengers.

The lizard that Thor raised was his back-up tool for delivering messages, but he didn't expect it to be intercepted.

The smoke just now was not so much to cover his escape as it was to cover the lizard.

No one would notice a palm-sized lizard in the dimly lit underground world, but who would have thought it would be stopped? This can only mean one thing.

"Did Mistress Neve tell you?"

Thor asked with a wry smile.

The only person who knows his secret and can tell it is the other person.

As the 'former mistress', she must have information about Sisi, the 'successor', and information about his personal guard must also be among them. It is not surprising to know this.

Poof~!

The sound of the sword piercing flesh was heard.

Ellie pierced Thor's heart with a sword, sending him to his final destination.

At this time, she also understood why her elders valued each other.

It’s not combat power!

It's about the other party's careful thought and wisdom.

If he hadn't learned all the information about the other party from Nafu in advance, the news might have been spread by the other party.

Without the advantage of a surprise attack, they may not necessarily be opponents if they actually face off against the enemy's army.

"Scout the surrounding situation and hunt down all sentries!"

Ellie ordered to the shadow swordsmen around her.

After receiving the order, the Shadow Swordsmen dispersed in small teams and were responsible for clearing other sentries that may appear around them.

Even if Zhao Hao hasn't encountered him before and there is no information about Nafu, it doesn't mean that he won't appear.

After a long time, when the shadow swordsmen almost turned everything around them over, the army arrived.

For this battle, the Storm Territory almost mobilized its entire army.

Especially the low-level military units are simply recruited out of nowhere.

5000 units Centaur leader

2000 units fighting dwarves

540 units phantom shooter

145 units silver pegasus

390 units of Shadow Swordsmen

26 units of Deadwood Guards
