The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0173 Civil strife

Five people were killed in a very short period of time, especially the two mages, whose throats were cut from behind, and their deaths were extremely tragic. After examining the corpses, it was found that there were still some shadowy substances remaining in the wounds of all the people. The martial art master felt a chill in his heart, and quickly passed it on to defend against the shadowy creatures. All drow fighters should not act alone, must be fully armed and ready to deal with them at any time Preparations for assassination.

After arranging the line of defense, the Martial Arts Chief hurried to the audience room, where he met Madam Wen Lisha. Hearing the death of the two dark mages on the front line, Mistress Wen Lisha's angry roar resounded through the huge hall.

Unexpectedly, really unexpected, a mid-level mage sent by the Undead Council actually has such a powerful army of undead. Could it be that the rumor that he was a disciple of a certain holy rank mage was actually true? Thinking of the loss of the first family in just an hour, Madam Wen Lisha wished to cut to death the daughter who encouraged her to attack this representative of the undead forces.

The blood-red gaze swept across the audience room, where all the high-level members of the First Family had already gathered in the audience room. There were 3 mages, 17 drow priests and priests, and 30 heavily armed drow guards, but there was no sign of the second daughter. Mistress Wen Lisha smiled ferociously, and fixed her bloody eyes on a middle-aged mage with a moustache who was holding a staff and bowed his head in silence at the bottom of the steps. This was the first consultant mage of their family.

"Master Brun, where is Rasil now?"

The chill in the tone made everyone lower their heads. Only the first consultant mage leaned on a strangely shaped long staff and bowed steadily: "I don't know, respected mistress!"

"You don't know? Haha, you don't know!" Mistress Wen Lisha suddenly stood up from the only seat in the front hall, and her slender fingers touched the seven-headed snake whip around her waist. Under her signal, the 17 priests and priests in the hall forced the consultant mage from the left and right sides, and the martial arts chief also blocked the mage's back path calmly, while the other two middle-level dark mages raised their hands He stepped back again and again, making it clear that he would not participate in this kind of infighting.

"I just made a plan to capture the necromancer based on the information you provided. It seems that I shouldn't be responsible for the deviation of the plan caused by the intelligence error." The first consultant mage did not make any resistance, but this far The calmness beyond the past is more likely to make people suspicious of it.

"Then please predict, where is Rachel now?" Mother Wen Lisha continued to ask. The 30 elite drow guards on the periphery have completely sealed off the audience room, and a part of them went straight to the residence of the first consultant mage and the second daughter Resil.

"I couldn't predict it, respected mistress. She is no longer in the residence of the first family, out of the range of magic induction." The first consultant mage straightened up for the first time, with a mysterious light in his eyes.

"What promise did she make to you, could it be more than what I gave you?" Mistress Wen Lisha burst into screams, and the achievement of engulfing the fifth family just now was shattered by the many betrayals in front of her. .

When the whip of the seven-headed snake waved, the hanging hand of the first consultant mage finally lifted up, and the entire audience room seemed to be filled with a sun, and the dazzling glare suddenly lit up, and all the drow howled miserably Call. Drow is born with dark vision and infrared vision, and what has deteriorated is the resistance to strong light. In battle, opponents often attack this weakness, so they have also figured out a complete set of countermeasures.

The superb blind-fighting skills of elite drow fighters were developed specifically for such situations.

The martial arts chief behind the mage closed his eyes that were stinging with tears, and endured all kinds of discomfort in his body. The scimitar in his hand swiftly slid across the location of the mage in his memory, and he listened to his surroundings while attacking. movement. The scimitar made two crisp sounds of "clang" and "clang". It didn't sound like it was being cut on the mage's body, nor was it like the sound of being cut on the mage's staff, but rather...

The Martial Skill Chief rolled on the spot and escaped Zhang Xu, and he could still hear the sound of heavy breaking wind sliding past his position just now.

"Metal Golem!..." The Martial Skill Chief reminded loudly as he withdrew. After all, most of the people present were spellcasters. If a metal puppet with great magic resistance suddenly appeared, it would be a disaster.

It's just that there is an anti-magic barrier set up at the door of the audience room, and there are elite drow guards waiting. How did such dangerous items get mixed in? You must know that as the core area of ​​the drow family, this place has been shrouded by various effects such as anti-summoning circles, anti-transportation circles, and anti-prophecy circles all year round. Any alien creatures, contracted creatures in the soul space, and the like cannot Being summoned, how was this golem brought in by the mage?

Without thinking about it, the chaotic scene in the room has gotten out of control. Many guys with different thoughts who can't see things gathered together, plus a humanoid metal golem that moved around quickly and attacked, so in order to protect themselves, they all retreated to one side and defended with all their strength against the stone wall. Immediately attack with full range.

Several inexperienced low-level priestesses, perhaps wanting to be blessed by high-level partners, or perhaps lost their way, stumbled into the alert range of others, and eventually died of "accidental injury".

The one who recovered the fastest in the arena was the highest level 14 spellcaster, Mistress Wen Lisha, but when she recovered her binocular vision with divine magic, she saw the three low-level priestesses lying down in the arena, and her burst of anger was beyond control. inhibition.

The humanoid metal puppet hit by successive small magic spells made a "clang clang" sound. Once it lost its speed, this guy with a low attack was immediately trapped in place by several high-ranking priestesses who recovered their eyesight with a spider web technique. . The metal golem has high resistance, so there is no need to waste precious mana on it. After trapping it, several drow guards brought heavy hammers and stone sticks, and repeatedly knocked on key parts, finally making it lose its mobility .

Mistress Wen Lisha, who had just quelled the civil strife, hadn't waited to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of the two traitors. Someone had already reported that the family gate had been captured. Frightened, he hurried to the front line with all the priests and 2 middle-level mages.

This is a small hall, through which you can go to different areas of the first family, so it is the first key node. The drow is a race with a universal military, and it is always in a state of combat readiness at all times. Therefore, as soon as there is a crisis at the family gate, defense preparations have been completed here.

Many solid iron barriers were stacked at the entrance of the hall, where the entrance was narrow, and the enemy could not deploy a large number of troops to carry out continuous attacks. The drow warriors either held crossbow arrows or metal spears, hiding in every corner of the hall. There were only more than 70 people, and they had already made the defense here impenetrable. The group of priests who rushed over immediately directed the soldiers they brought to fill each small defense line, and began to prepare various divine spells to be used.

After all, Rasmurfel City is a remote town in the area ruled by the drow. As the first family, they can produce 20 priestesses and 3 mages, more than 20 spellcasters, and they have firmly occupied the absolute advantage in the city. . But after the series of mistakes just now, the eldest daughter of the family has been damaged, and the second daughter and the first consultant mage have been betrayed. This is already the most traumatic trauma in the past century.

Casualties came second, but the most important thing was that the hearts of the priests had been cast a heavy shadow. Now that the arrogant and powerful enemy has attacked the door, the first family may be able to survive this crisis, but the absolute advantage that has been maintained for so long will be gone forever, and it will face more and stronger challenges in the future. It is also impossible to enjoy the glory of the first family comfortably.

Mistress Wen Lisha was terrified. The scenery in the past six months has changed into the current turmoil, just because of a middle-level necromancer? No, it's not just that. Why did she, who has presided over all the important sacrificial activities in Rasmufer City, not get any warning from the goddess this time? It was precisely this that really frightened her.

The most important thing about drow is not personal bravery, but the favor of the Spider Goddess. As long as you have the favor of the goddess, you will be invincible, and you will naturally gain the upper hand in the struggle with other families. Although the number of hosts is the most, and the sacrifices are also the most pleasing to the goddess. This has allowed Wen Lisha's first family to rule the city of Rasmufer for 400 years, but this cornerstone is not solid.

The Spider Goddess is, after all, a capricious deity with a penchant for treachery and chaos. Temporary favors may cause the goddess to bless a certain mistress for a while, but she will eventually tire of it and quickly share the favor with her enemies to encourage family turnover and call this subversion the replacement of fresh blood.

The Spider Goddess used this method to remind those families who were favored by her not to rest on their laurels and just want to enjoy themselves in comfort, but to always be alert to the dagger stabbed from behind, and even more careful of the venom in the wine.

Then the most obvious sign of this kind of family change is that the first family suddenly lost the blessing of the goddess. Losing the early warning of the crisis is the first step, and the families that rank next will get vague hints, and when they hold sacrificial activities, they will get the favor of the goddess that is richer than in the past. Wen Lisha has already gone through these processes, after all, that's how she got the position of the first family mistress.

Could it be that he has stayed in the position of the mistress of the first family for too long, and the God Empress is planning to change to a fresh face?

Although she was on the front line of the battlefield, Wen Lisha had no intention of commanding the defensive line in the hall, but repeatedly pondered the similarities and differences of the recent sacrifices, trying to find signs of the goddess' favor shifting.

Fortunately, the drow fighters with high military literacy have already received internal street fighting training, and have completed all defensive preparations without too many deployments, waiting for the arrival of the enemy with bated breath.
