Silver moonlight shone down from the sky, and white ink-like mist floated on the ground. In the depths of the forest in the distance, the trees suddenly swayed, and pairs of scarlet eyes emerged in the darkness.
Lizardmen, goblins, lycanthropes...
An extremely large number of underground creatures slowly walked out of the dark forest and approached towards Thunder City.
Behind a group of underground creatures, there are more than a dozen majestic one-horned creatures. Their huge bodies are crawling slowly, with saddle-like objects on their backs, and people in black robes are riding on them.
"Everyone, speed up!"
On the back of the one-horned tower, a man in black robes who looked like a leader shouted loudly: "Those Essos natives will arrive at the south gate of Thunder City in half an hour. We must attack from the north gate in advance."
After that, he waved the long whip in his hand and whipped the unicorn under him.
The army of underground creatures accelerated their march and arrived at the north gate of Thunder City in more than ten minutes. The soldiers patrolling the city wall suddenly discovered something unusual and hurriedly sounded the enemy attack alarm.
The shrill sound of the bell broke the silence of the night.
Lord's Tower, in a room.
Ulysses, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and meditating, suddenly opened his eyes after hearing the sound of bells from the outside world, and a sharp luster flashed in his deep eyes.
At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"What happened outside? Bruno." Seeing the person coming, Ulysses asked in a deep voice.
"Father, a large number of underground creatures have appeared outside the city and are attacking from the north gate." Bruno Kendi replied, calmly, "I have ordered some apprentices to go to the north gate. The situation is temporarily under control."
"Underground creatures? Are they the remaining fallen ones?" Ulysses frowned.
"The Fallen were indeed found among the enemies who attacked the North Gate." Bruno nodded and said hesitantly, "However, those Fallen are very cunning. They hid behind the underground creatures and did not approach Thunder City."
Ulysses' face was expressionless, his eyes flashing.
"Those fallen ones who dare to attack Thunder City must be well prepared." After pondering for a moment, Ulysses said, "In this case, you go and inform Wizard Idru and let him be responsible for cleaning up the attackers at the north gate.
!”
"As you command, Father." Bruno saluted with his hands on his chest and exited the room.
Afterwards, Ulysses also got up from the bed. He put on a wizard's robe and held a cyan wand in his hand. After being prepared for everything, he came to the office on the top floor of the tower.
"Does witchcraft transform living things?"
Ulysses walked to the glass window and performed an eagle eye operation on himself. He looked out the light window and looked out of the city. A huge number of underground creatures were committing suicide towards the north gate under the command of the Fallen.
attack.
Boom! Bang!
The sound of explosions was endless, and the violent goblins rushed towards the city gate crazily, carrying out explosive attacks with their bodies. A layer of green light floated on the outside of the city gate, which was a kind of runic defense, blocking rounds of blasting impacts.
On the city wall, soldiers controlled ballistas and fired spear-like crossbow arrows down the city.
The lycanthropes with beast-like bodies and the short lizard men were nailed to the ground under the attack of crossbows. For a moment, the situation seemed to be completely controlled by Thunder City.
"Why hasn't Idru arrived yet?"
Looking outside the city with the eagle eye spell, Ulysses frowned slightly. No matter how many of those inferior underground creatures were killed, there was no point in killing them. The only ones he really cared about were the fallen ones hiding behind.
"Father!"
Suddenly, the door of the office was pushed open, and Bruno hurriedly walked in, saying in a solemn tone: "A large number of enemies and giant spiders appeared in the south of the city. The attack was very fierce, and the soldiers could hardly hold on."
"South Gate? Where is Idru?" Ulysses asked, a hint of uneasiness rising in his heart.
"Wizard Idru is missing!" Bruno lowered his head and said with an ugly face, "I just came out of his wizard tower. No one knew where Wizard Idru had gone, and even using the communication equipment, I didn't get any response.
.”
"Gone?" Ulysses' heart sank, and then he focused his eyes and asked, "You said that enemies appeared at the south gate, are they also those fallen ones and underground creatures?"
"No! No." Bruno hesitated and said, "The enemies that appeared at the south gate are all mortals in weird costumes, but they seem to be able to drive some giant spiders as the main force to attack the city gate."
"Weird costume, giant spider?"
Ulysses looked thoughtful, suddenly his eyes flashed, he raised his head and said, "Could they be the remnants of Essos?"
"Essos? That ancient kingdom!" Bruno was surprised and said, "Didn't it already be destroyed in the Battle of the Abyss in the Second Era?"
Ulysses didn't speak, his face was a little gloomy.
What happened tonight was a bit strange. First, the Fallen attacked, then Idru disappeared, and now, even the remnants of the Kingdom of Essos appeared at the south gate of Thunder City.
"Could it be that the Fallen and the remnants of Essos have reached some agreement?"
Ulysses' eyes flickered, and the thoughts in his mind changed. As an official wizard and the lord of Thunder City, he knew more about the Kingdom of Essos than the average person, so it was clear that the rumored Kingdom of Essos was actually still alive.
Some remnants have been living in the deepest parts of the underground ruins.
Many years ago, when Ulysses was still a third-level apprentice, he went to the underground ruins with his family elders.
At that time, the Kendi family got some information about Essos from a stone tablet. In order to trace the traces of the goddess of the night, the Kendi family sent several wizards to form a team to go to the underground ruins. They successfully found the ruins of Essos, and
Some traces of the survival of the Essos remnants were found in the ruins.
"Father, the south gate is almost breached, what should we do now?" Bruno asked.
"You take some apprentices to deal with the fallen in the north gate, and leave the south gate to me." Ulysses pondered for a moment, and then said, "In addition, send some people to look for Idru. If you have any news, please contact me at any time.
!”
Having said that, Ulysses set off for the south gate of Thunder City.
Half a minute later, he came to the towering city wall and looked forward. Under the night, burning torches dispelled the surrounding darkness. There were many Essos natives wearing black clothes and oil paint on their faces.
, was pushing a siege vehicle and a simple trebuchet, throwing stone balls towards the city wall.
And at the very front, under the city gate, are giant spiders the size of houses.
These giant spiders are huge in size, with sharp barbs on their eight hard limbs. Their ferocious mouthparts open and close, constantly spraying out green venom, which is so corrosive that the defensive runes on the surface of the city gate flicker.
