In the Underdark, the dark drow have enslaved other races for a long time. Even in the city of Menzoberranzan, which is known as the city with the most drow, the number of drow does not exceed one-third of the city's total population.
.
Not to mention other cities under its jurisdiction. In the most remote control areas, it is likely that drow only account for less than one-tenth of the total city population.
Lolth encouraged the drow to fight among themselves and retained the strongest ones through assassinations and other methods.
While this has made the drow ethnic group extremely powerful, it has also kept the total number of drow from rising. As a branch race of elves, drow have as long a lifespan as elves and a low fertility rate.
In peacetime, you may not think there is any problem, but once there is chaos, problems such as insufficient control caused by the small number of drows will be magnified countless times like under a microscope.
Especially after all the priests have lost their divine skills, this shortcoming is even more fatal!
Yes, in addition to the priest profession, priests in the world of Ultron basically have other part-time jobs. For example, priests in Tyr often work part-time as paladin. But drow priests often work part-time as assassins.
Because murder is Rose's specialty.
Assassins are useless in frontal battlefields.
This led to the first loss of contact since Lolth led the drow into the Underdark. All Lolth's priests fell into extreme passivity. Instead, they relied most on the male drow in the family.
In the past ten thousand years, his status was almost equivalent to that of a slave.
On the other hand, Raven, who was well aware of Rose's plan, took advantage of this.
The spider's web can indeed be used to capture prey, provided that it is a moth or some other small reptile. It would be great fun if the one that rushes into the spider's web is a giant dragon.
In the underground city of Cheed, which Raven's incarnation Rex had just passed by, a team of more than thirty gray dwarves were following a mysterious half-elf wanderer in a dark cave.
"Hey! Long ears! Isn't the place here yet?"
"Even if you don't believe in me, you should believe in your gods." The half-elf wanderer replied leisurely.
"Che, Ladugue...where was he when we were slaves? If he can't help us again this time, I would rather go to hell as a faithless person. At least Baator Hell is still lawful." The gray dwarf leader
He made no secret of his dissatisfaction with his own god.
"You will be satisfied." Suddenly, as if by magic, they passed through a wall.
Phantom wall!
The gray dwarves were stunned for a moment. The next second, they fell into ecstasy!
"Oh! God! This is good stuff for our damn dwarf relatives!"
The forging of gray dwarves is almost slightly worse than that of dwarves, but as slaves, these gray dwarves definitely cannot have any good weapons and equipment. In Raven's previous life, these violent guys used extremely bad and unsatisfactory equipment, and they dared to attack Zhuo
His rule led to a frenzied rebellion.
In this life, with Raven's support brought directly from the ground, the result... will definitely be interesting.
As a member of the Church of the Shadow of Death, the half-elf looked at the ecstatic gray dwarf and he also smiled. Yes! As long as it can disgust Rose, the enemy of the church, it is definitely worth it to equip him with anything.
On January 9, the Qidecheng rebellion broke out.
The rulers of Qed City are the drow Miri family. Their castle is located at the top of the city. It is an awe-inspiring huge bulge. The width and length of the entire castle covers two or three blocks, with some towering above the streets and some
It hangs from the bottom. It always makes people feel like the huge protruding eye of a Cyclops. Perhaps this is the shape deliberately designed by the designer.
In the Miri family's reception hall, the various matrons were discussing how to deal with the increasingly violent slave parade on the streets.
"This is rebellion! Indisputable rebellion! This is blasphemy against Lolth! These damn slaves should all be hanged and fed to the spiders!"
"Hang? In the past, another slave would do this kind of thing under the supervision of us who have magical powers. Now, who can let one slave hang another slave?" A mistress retorted with a sneer.
Suddenly the whole castle shook violently, and people staggered and fell like gourds on the ground.
This sudden change broke the meeting of the matrons. Three seconds later there was a loud noise, a large wall was shattered, and rubble was scattered throughout the room.
"Rose on top!" the maids screamed in confusion and panic.
A human servant burst into the hall, fear written on his face.
"Mother Miri! They are gray dwarves! There are hundreds of them. They are surrounding us... They are attacking!" As if to confirm his words, another violent shaking in the castle made the servant fall to his knees.
, he was so frightened that he almost peed. He lay on the ground with all four limbs and covered the back of his head with his hands.
The drow warrior guards on the castle were extremely surprised because they saw a large group of gray dwarves emerging from the mist surrounding the castle.
The guards' fear was revealed on their faces, because there were too many gray dwarves. There were at least two to three thousand gray dwarves, arranged in three rows along the castle. They had no taboos about the crossbowmen on the castle tower.
sight.
Because they are confident.
If many of their faces still have whip marks left by female drow priests or superiors, no one would have thought that such a brightly armored and disciplined team seemed to have emerged from the only remaining gray dwarfs.
The elite troops from the Kingdom's "City of Blades" turn out to be slaves!
Using thick iron shields that looked like high-quality products to hold up the crossbows fired by the few crossbowmen on the tower, the gray dwarves threw dozens of clay pots onto the stone walls of the castle. After a "ping-pong" sound, orange lights ignited.
of flame.
When the incendiary bombs fell like hail, several drow wandering in front of the magnificent gate scrambled to find cover. Unfortunately, it was useless, they screamed and fell in the flames.
The shock wave generated by the violent explosion shook the entire cobweb street. The alarm sounded quickly in the castle, and many drow rushed out from inside. In fact, they were just off-duty patrols.
These drow elves hid behind the battlements and shot at the gray dwarves with crossbows, but few gray dwarves fell. The most exaggerated thing is that the gray dwarf was clearly shot through the eye slit of the helmet, but because of the well-made gray dwarf, the gray dwarf fell.
The arrowhead of an arrow got stuck in his eyeball, and he escaped unharmed.
The frightened gray dwarves immediately adopted a wise strategy. The first row raised their shields to form a shield wall, and the second row hid behind the shield wall and used crossbow arrows obtained from unknown sources to fight back at the drow.
The crossbow arrows were so dense that the drow defending the city had an absurd feeling: as if they were peasant soldiers guarding a few wooden fences in the countryside, while the slave gray dwarf warriors below were the real elite troops.
In several places, the duergar gunpowder seemed to ignite the stone itself, and the fire continued to spread.
As another wave of explosions rocked the castle, drow wizards began to float in the air.
"Suffer death! Despicable dwarf!" The roaring male drow wizard was of a high level, and the powerful aura on his body proved the fact that he was a legendary strongman.
Suspended in mid-air, he still carefully added several protective spells such as [Protect Arrows] and a mana shield. Even though he did not think that the gray dwarves, who had extremely weak long-range attack power, could threaten him.
strength.
"It's over! It's the Archmage Fennli!" A gray dwarf let out a desperate cry.
How terrifying is a legendary primary magician with no scruples and full firepower?
Perhaps, the gray dwarves will soon prove it with their lives.
However, two sudden arrows interrupted Fernley's spellcasting.
The first [Devil-Breaking Arrow] easily turned the great mage's [Protective Arrow] into a joke. His protective spell was as easily pierced as an egg shell. If it weren't for the constant force field pattern on his robe
The protection spell saved his life, but now he was pierced.
However, this was not the end. This obviously used the [Double Arrow] technique. Feinli never dreamed that the second arrow that followed was actually a [Colliding Arrow], even though he avoided the vital point at the last moment.
The arrow that was still shot pierced his shoulder, and the huge momentum threw him backwards. Then, like a frog waiting to be dissected, he was nailed to the outside of the highest tower of the castle.
No! Not [Double Arrow]!
It’s [Triple Arrow]!
No one at the scene saw the last arrow, and no one even noticed that there was actually a third arrow. The armor-piercing arrow, like a stray arrow, was accurately nailed to the commander's forehead.
It’s really nailed down!
It is the only [Phantom Arrow] in the world that was given divine power by the phantom goddess Laila and allowed him to use it.
Quietly killing the opponent's biggest supporter with one bow and three arrows, Wallis, the former elf prince who was hiding in a residential house, quietly put away his [Great Elf Bow], put on his hood, and disappeared into the complicated streets.
.
The battle in the castle alarmed the drow army stationed in the city's barracks. Some drow citizens saw a large number of drow troops advancing along a street in the direction of the castle in the distance, and they couldn't help but shout in joy.
"Kill those lowly gray dwarves!"
The next moment, he was killed.
At the same time, on the rooftops on both sides of the street, countless kobolds were wearing short leather armors, waving gleaming daggers... Well, to them, it was a long sword, and they rushed down from high places to ambush those who came over.
Drow cavalry riding lizards.
This is the Gray Dwarf ally!?
Soon, a second group of gray dwarves appeared. From both ends of the long street, they surrounded the drow who were desperately resisting in the middle of the street.
A textbook ambush!
Seeing that the reinforcements in the distance were easily defeated, the drow matron in the castle became desperate.
"Honor Rose, why is this happening!?" The matrons knelt down in front of Rose's spider statue. (To be continued.)
ps: There is nothing I can do today, I really can’t add more updates on Saturday. I usually gather with friends in the morning every Saturday, and have parent-child time in the afternoon. I only start writing in the evening, so there are basically no updates on Saturday. Let’s do it tomorrow. The goal tomorrow is 5 updates.
