Another week passed, and the mighty "Dark Neon Color" coalition finally set off, heading towards the "Fallen Stars" to kill them.
Similar to the Dark Elves, the Minotaur also organized a powerful core force of its own. Many of the elites were directly recruited from the tribe's children who came to participate in the celebration. It also included a large number of caveman auxiliary troops, including thousands of people.
Scale. However, in the eyes of the tauren, these weak tribes are not even qualified to go into battle. They are just pure transportation and logistics troops.
The most "capable" among the three tribes' armies is definitely the Beholder. Even Barnier, with a total of only 350 people, controls a multi-racial slave army of nearly 3,000 people.
It is so complex that its actual battlefield strength is probably the weakest.
However, Hathaway and Cleveland did not make any accusations about this. Anyway, the beholder is treated as a magician, so a "magic group" of more than 300 people is already luxurious. As for the slaves, they are used as cannon fodder.
, just attract firepower.
As for the evil dragon Kapinski, he was nowhere to be seen, so he probably acted alone.
It is impossible to hide such a large-scale march from the eyes and ears of others. Therefore, the three major lords have not thought about sneak attacks or anything, but intend to defeat the "Fallen Stars" head-on with their majestic strength. However, other nearby dungeon forces should
Seeing "Dark Neon Color" suddenly put up such a powerful formation to attack "Fallen Star", one can't help but be suspicious, but since they can't get any definite information, they can only strengthen their defenses to avoid the dispatched army from "attacking in the east and attacking in the west".
”.
"Fallen Star" is about three weeks away from "Dark Neon Color", and the road is not difficult to walk. However, there are many hunting grounds occupied by abyssal beasts. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, the high-ranking members of the three tribes
The warriors and lawmen also led their capable men into several waves and took turns to be on guard. After killing several batches of daring abyssal beasts in a row, no blind guy dared to jump out and cause trouble.
It was only a week before approaching "Dark Neon" that the enemy's blocking troops finally began to show their presence.
As for blocking, it's more about reconnaissance and harassment. Moreover, the warriors of "Fallen Stars" are also very elite. Moriarty has seen these elusive elite soldiers sneak into the auxiliary forces or various ethnic groups through heavy security forces several times.
The tribe stirred up trouble and massacred people, but then disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if they had never appeared.
"Haha, after all, it's our shadow warriors, how can they be so easy to deal with?" Seeing the enemy's elite team showing off their power repeatedly, Hathaway was not too displeased. Instead, he laughed and chatted with Moriarty.
"Yes, unless it is the sacrificial fire of the tauren prophet or the mental detection wave of the beholder, it will be difficult to detect." Moriarty nodded. He drove a two-tailed gecko and walked in front of Hathaway.
beside.
Now, the relationship between the two has basically been made clear in the lord's mansion. Therefore, other dark elf officers and mages are accustomed to seeing such a pairing scene.
"Lord, there are messages from both sides, hoping that we will also send out shadow warriors to counter the 'Fallen Stars'." At this time, Alice, wearing an exquisite armor, came to the side of Elf Ji Dao and reported in a low voice.
"Oh? They can't hold it anymore?" Hathaway sneered.
"Yes. I heard that the tauren have sent a group of torch prophets to set up defenses everywhere, but it is difficult to put them all in place; while the beholders have shrunk their core formation, but their slave troops have suffered even greater losses." Alice also smiled in agreement.
: "We are the only one here. After killing three batches of infiltrators in a row, no one dares to sneak in to 'fish' anymore."
"Ensberg, what do you think, should we send someone to help the friendly forces?" Hathaway pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Moriarty.
"Lord, this is beyond my control."
Officially, Moriarty sticks to his duties and keeps a low profile. Even if they are intimate in private, he must avoid suspicion at such times.
"It doesn't matter, just tell me, I'll think about it." Seeing the other party's reaction, the smile in Elf Jidao's eyes became even wider, but he said softly.
"Yes." Moriarty smiled helplessly, and glanced at Alice at the side with the corner of his eye, and then said: "Faced with the harassment of 'Fallen Stars', our troops are also tight and cannot cover everything. So we can only deploy some elites.
Collaborate with a friendly force to defend, and let the tauren and beholders decide on their own to assist in the defense."
"Haha, you are really bad." Hearing Moriarty's words, Hathaway laughed loudly, then turned to look at Alice: "Did you hear everything? Just reply like this, you will watch what happens next.
arrange."
"Yes, sir."
Alice quickly agreed and then retreated. However, before leaving, she secretly glanced at Moriarty again, praising the other party's "shame" and lamenting that the lord "obedient to his words".
"Hathaway, this is not good. Military and political power is a sharp knife in the hands of the superiors and should not be handed over to others. Although you are giving me 'face', it will cause misunderstandings to the people below."
With the remaining two people left, Moriarty whispered to the elf woman.
"Huh, I just want them to misunderstand! Otherwise, if I am promoted to you in the future, some people will definitely complain." Hathaway shook her head indifferently, looked at Moriarty again, and sighed: "You
Yeah, it's good or bad to be good at enchanting. If you have the ultimate strength now, I can directly appoint you as the deputy lord, and no one will dare to talk nonsense."
"Haha, if I were the Supreme Dao, I would just steal your position and be the deputy lord." Moriarty shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, you are so greedy. You don't want to take up enough of my body, and you don't even miss my seat. You are really greedy and bad." Hearing this, Hathaway also chuckled, and her eyes were full of joy.
And when the shadow warriors under Hathaway's command were defeated, and they cooperated with the Torch Prophet and the Evil Eye Warlock to grab the enemy's tail several times and kill them, the harassing troops of the "Fallen Stars" retreated, and it was considered a draw. So, the Dark Elves
His martial name became popular among the coalition forces, but it also made the tauren who were good at martial arts hold their breath.
After marching for several more days, the army finally arrived at its destination.
"This is the 'Fallen Star'?"
Standing on the shore, in front of you is an underground lake with a radius of tens of kilometers, and the boundary can hardly be seen at a glance. In the endless darkness, the color of the water undulates, and the sound of the waves echoes. And on this lake that looks like an inland sea, there is a small island and
The lake shore faces each other far away, with only a road bridge connecting it. On the island in the center of the lake, a huge underground city stands quietly, emitting a faint silver light. From a distance, the black water body looks like a still night, while the underground city
Like a silver star falling from the sky, it was left here.
"Yes. How about it? Isn't it beautiful?" Standing side by side with Moriarty, Hathaway also had a look of emotion and incomprehensible happiness and resentment.
"It is very beautiful." He looked away, but when he saw the elf woman's sad look, Moriarty suddenly smiled: "Only such a beautiful place can give birth to a beautiful person like you."
"Humph, come to coax me again."
After glancing at the other party lightly, Hathaway smiled slowly, and for a moment it was so bright that Moriarty was stunned.
After the army arrived, "Fallen Stars" also stayed behind closed doors. According to the previous plan, "Dark Neon Color" did not go into battle immediately, but gradually set up a camp and defensive positions on the shore. At the same time, a large number of auxiliary troops and
The underground dwarf craftsmen worked together to set up multiple docks by the lake and began to build warships on the spot.
Although there is a lack of wood in the underground world, the rods of many tall toadstools are also light and fine in texture, making them very suitable for building water vehicles. Moreover, the army's baggage has carried a large number of rods, so it seems that they have been prepared for it.
But it's no wonder that if there is only a road bridge more than ten meters wide, the forces of the "Dark Neon Color" coalition cannot be deployed at all, and they can only add fuel to the ground to provide food for the enemy. Only by launching simultaneous attacks on land and water can they make the enemy more powerful.
The defenders in the castle were exhausted and focused on one thing but not the other. However, I heard that the "Fallen Stars" also had a good naval force. Therefore, in order to attack from the water, the coalition of the three tribes must first win the water battle.
About two weeks later, the construction of the first batch of warships was completed. During this period, elites from the "Fallen Stars" also sneaked out to destroy the shipyard, but they were all killed back by the well-prepared coalition forces.
Moriarty also saw Negon's battleship for the first time. Although it felt simple, it was practical, and all the equipment on the ship were prepared for boarding battles. It seems that water warfare in the underground world is still limited to close combat.
The stage of cutting down and seizing the ship also proved that neither party had any intention of letting their elite mages float on the water.
Once the warship is completed, the war is about to begin.
After a first-level joint meeting of the three major lords, it was decided that the three families would send out troops at the same time, each driving ten warships to surround the "Fallen Star". At the same time, on the road bridge in front, slaves and auxiliary troops were used to carry out early fire reconnaissance and attrition operations.
.
"Hathaway, there are a batch of enchanted arrows here. You take them first." After listening to the attack plan relayed by Elf Jidao, Moriarty thought for a moment, then took out all the armor-piercing series arrows he carried and handed them to the opponent.
No matter what, Hathaway's love and sincerity to him can be regarded as his woman. No matter how good she is, just stand aside and watch as if nothing happened, she will still do her best when it's time to do so.
"Oh, so you still have so many good things hidden?"
As a dungeon lord, Hathaway is also well-informed, so she can naturally see that these enchanted arrows are murderous weapons. She immediately took them happily, and after examining them carefully, she couldn't help hugging Moriarty and kissing her hard. Not really.
She was greedy for these magic props, but Moriarty's attitude of helping her made the elf very happy.
"Armor-piercing bursting arrows may be used in water battles. As long as the archers aim properly, it is not impossible to kill a ship with one arrow." Moriarty suggested with a smile while holding Hathaway in his arms.
"Humph, we don't need to be in a place like this." But Hathaway just shook his head: "Water wars are just about attrition. Once the opponent's warships are polished, we can naturally occupy the water, so why worry."
"Okay, whatever."
Hearing the Elf Lord's words, Moriarty frowned slightly and then put it down.
Perhaps, this is the war mode of the dungeon. The lives of the weak are not even numbers in the eyes of the strong, and are only worthy of "setting off fireworks". (To be continued...) i1292
