Game of the World Tree

There is no day and night in the underworld, only eternal darkness.

The dark environment makes the underground world a bit more depressing and gloomy than the surface, and for Itkazar, the holy city of death, this kind of depression can be said to be achieved at this moment.

The small-scale holy city has been surrounded by a black army.

That was the army of the Alliance of Dark Cities.

The Lich King Pelogne personally sat in town, leading an army of 50,000 undead, 20,000 cannon fodder troops composed of goblins, monsters and beasts, and an ordinary army composed of 15,000 illithids and dark dwarves. Less than 8,000 Itkazar launched a siege.

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 illithid blood sorcerers, and a dwarven warrior.

Nearly half of the silver professionals and gold professionals were promoted during this half year.

It is also the strength of the surge that gave the Lich King the confidence to compete with the Silent Alliance.

And this part of the power besieging Itkazar is already equivalent to more than one-third of the strength of the entire Dark City-State Alliance.

For this holy city, the Lich King is bound to win.

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

In these three days, they have launched four consecutive storms.

Although it still hasn't been broken through, it has brought great pressure to the city defense and defenders.

Anyone with a little military common sense can see that although the defensive magical barrier of the holy city still has sufficient energy, the defenders in the city have suffered heavy casualties.

Under the several attacks of the Dark Alliance, they have suffered more than half of their casualties, and their morale has dropped to a very dangerous level...

If it wasn't for their firm belief in the god of death, if it wasn't for the fact that most of the soldiers in Itkazar were devout believers, I'm afraid many of them would have planned to escape through the teleportation formation.

The supporting army is gone.

Except for the City of Blades, the remaining ten underground city-states that were not besieged were relatively small in scale.

Not to mention their strength, in the face of five allies that were besieged by five Dark Alliance armies in one breath, the support they could give was really limited.

Itkazar has already received the most support, but in the face of the larger and stronger Dark Alliance army, these supports can only be exhausted with the repeated attacks of the place.

The Dark City-State Alliance, which has fifty underground city-states and integrated strengths, is far more powerful than the Lonely City-State Alliance, which has only seventeen city-states and has a loose structure.

Below and below the city walls, there are abandoned equipment everywhere, the blood dyed the earth black and red, and the corpses that have been purified remotely to prevent the undead are either lying in disorder under the city, or piled up in the city wall. It was burnt down by the defenders...

That pungent smell is disgusting.

This is impossible.

Because no one knows whether these purified corpses will stand up again with the next attack of the Dark Alliance, turning into fallen undead and continue to join the battle...

In the camp of the Dark Cities Alliance.

The Lich King Pelogne was wiping a heavy gold-studded black book, waiting quietly for something.

The cover of the book is embellished with bone patterns, and a pattern symbolizing death is also painted, and there is a faint divine power flowing slowly on it.

However, if you look closely, you will see that the booklet is also set with a dark grey, inappropriate shaded gem.

I saw the Lich King injecting his own power into the shadow gem, and the whole book exudes a faint halo...

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

This is a true artifact called the Book of the Dead.

It is precisely because of this true artifact that the Lich King can manipulate the fallen undead, so that the Silent Alliance does not dare to use the army of the undead easily.

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

I saw the other party kneeling on one knee, and then said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, the messengers we sent to Itqazar to persuade surrender have been executed by the great temple master of the Church of Death. They placed the corpses at the top of the city and cremated them in public..."

Hearing his words, the Lich King Pelogne stopped for a moment.

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

"understood."

"Since the other party is unwilling to surrender, let's carry out the final siege."

"Send the order, the whole army will attack and start the siege! After the city is broken, allow all the soldiers to loot for three days!"

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

Unlike the previous rounds of siege, this time, the tens of thousands of troops that surrounded Itqazar came out of their nests and launched a general attack.

It was still the goblins who attacked first.

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

And behind them, a legion of 50,000 fully-armed and well-equipped undead, lined up in neat steps to follow...

The earth was trembling, and the evil and icy power formed by the gathering of the fallen undead turned into an endless smoke that enveloped 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 action of some strange force and joined the army of the undead.

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

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

Feeling the astonishing momentum, the defenders on the city wall changed their colors one after another.

Their already low morale was shaken again.

The vanguard of the Dark Alliance quickly rushed under the walls.

Inspired by the Lich King, their morale is strong, and even the undead army is a bit fierce. They do not need to loot, but they have a strong desire to devour the souls of living beings...

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

Their resistance was like hitting an egg on a rock. After roaring and killing a few goblins that had come up from the siege, facing more and more enemies, they were soon overwhelmed by more monsters and undead...

The ant-like dark army rushed under the city wall like a tide, erected a cloud ladder, climbed the city wall one after another, and launched a one-sided fight with the remnants of the Quiet Alliance.

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

He looked at Neil, the head of the Great Temple, who was standing beside him, while distracted and remotely controlling the entire city's underground defense core, while praying with his eyes closed, and said anxiously:

"Lord Neil! The Dark Alliance has launched the final attack. Even if we add the troops from other city-states to support us, there are only less than 5,000 soldiers left! Lord Neil, if there is no reinforcement, we really I can't take it anymore!"

Neil, the head of the Great Temple, was not flustered at all.

He slowly opened his pure eyes, and his clear eyes just crossed the battlefield and met Pelogne, the Lich King in the army of the Dark Alliance.

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

He raised his right hand slightly and made an inverted thumb motion.

But the great temple chief Neil did not care about the Lich King's provocation.

His eyes crossed Pelogne, past his dark army, and finally stopped at a farther place...

"Our reinforcements have arrived."

he said softly.

After listening to the words of the head of the Great Temple, the chief of the holy city followed his gaze.

I saw that on the border of the southeast, a rising smoke suddenly appeared...

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