The underworld, the city of sanatar.
This is an ancient city-state located in the upper part of the western region of the dark region, separated from the edge of the city by an underground lake.
It is said that this underground city was first built by the dark dwarfs in the early silver age, and was destroyed in the war in the middle and late silver era, and was rebuilt by the underground dwarfs on the original site 3000 years ago
Like the cutting edge city located in the commercial node, sanatar city state is also a commercial underground city, and its structure is similar to the black rock city in the deep crack cave.
However, it is slightly different from the dark dwarfs in the edge city who sell armor and swords. Although the city of shanatar also sells similar equipment, the underground dwarfs here are more famous in the underground world for their mage robes made from the silk of burrow spiders
Of course, this is why the siege of the Dark Alliance Army has become low intensity, and players can no longer quickly gain experience by killing undead, but there are so many new players who have to find a way to rub a set of equipment even if they want to die last time.
Nothing else. The mage is equipped with too much incense! It's too little!
Of course, the players are happy, and the top management of sanatar is not so happy.
At this moment, Katra, the current chief dwarf of the city-state, is lying on the bed, looking at the top of sanathar without expression.
Among them, there are city-state treasurer, intelligence officer, military minister, diplomat who has invited foreign help from the elves, and the next chief successor, dorulu.
Obviously, the situation of the city's defense war is very good, but the atmosphere here is very dignified.
All of them were facing the chief executive lying in the hospital bed, listening to the financial secretary's report with trepidation:
"the chief officer..."
The voice of the treasurer was bitter:
"since the elves joined the war, although our pressure has been greatly reduced, the expenditure has been rising at a terrible speed..."
"In the week since the elves took part in the war, we have exhausted all our spider silk robes and armor equipment in stock, and we have owed more than 20 million gold pounds and an additional 5000 sets of spider silk robes..."
"This It has been the income of our city for nearly 20 years. "
Dead silence.
Katla's face turned blue at the number.
He coughed a few times, then looked at the military minister and asked coldly:
"tell me about the defensive war, especially the elves."
The military minister was a dwarf. He nodded and said in a deep voice:
"chief officer, at present, the city defense is in good condition. After the elves participated in the war, the casualties of soldiers were greatly reduced, and the pressure of defense was also greatly reduced, but The casualties of the elves are somewhat surprising
"According to our statistics, nearly 100000 troops from the elves' side have been sent to the war this week."
"100000? It's impossible! There are at most 20000 elves on the wall
Dorulu couldn't help losing his voice.
It was not until the chief Cutler looked at him coldly that he shuddered and shut his mouth.
Then, the military minister explained:
"the reason why you can see only 20000 people is that these 100000 people came to support one after another. Moreover, most of them were" killed. "
"Dead in battle?"
Lu's expression is wonderful.
He didn't take part in the city defense, so he didn't know what the Elves were fighting.
"Yes, but not all of them died in the battle with the dead, many of them fell down the wall and died accidentally It's just that I prefer that they commit suicide. "
Suicide? How could that be possible?
Dorulu felt ridiculous.
Looking at dorulu's dull expression, the old chief snorted and looked at the city's female intelligence officer:
"Shana, tell him what you've heard."
"Yes, my Lord."
The underground dwarf, called Shana, saluted respectfully. She looked at dorulu, and her eyes flashed a little disdain and said faintly:
"we have found out the details of these elves, and we have known the real situation of the defense of the city of edge."
"These elves Originated from the earth's surface, they abandoned their belief in the world tree and believed in a goddess of life named Eve, who is said to control the two sacred orders of nature and life
"It is said that this is a new deity, suspected to have been supported by the great Haila crown and inherited the priesthood of the world tree. Of course, there are also speculations that it is the incarnation of a true God created in the earthly world under the crown of death... "
"These elves are the family members of the goddess of life. They are not only numerous, but also have the ability of immortality. Once they die, they will revive in another place...""They have changed their beliefs, and they seem to have changed their temperament."
"During the defense war of the city of edge, it is said that the number of elves participating in the battle reached 80000, but the number of elves defending the city walls was not more than 20000, similar to our city-state..."
"After the battle, the city of blade owes a huge amount of gold and equipment, which needs to be paid to the elves."
"In addition, most of the witnesses proved that they were among the elves who had regained their combat equipment Seeing the familiar faces, many people suspected of repeatedly receiving... "
Goddess of life? immortal? resurrection?
Dorulum gaped.
After the report, the female intelligence officer stood aside respectfully.
The chief looked at the dull dorulu, and a little disappointment flashed through his eyes.
He covered his mouth, coughed a few times, sighed and said:
"the others step back, dorulu stays."
The chancellor of the exchequer and others soon retired, leaving only chief Katla and his grandson dorulu in the room.
"Do you want to know what's going on now, dorulu?"
The chief said coldly.
Dorulu's expression changed, gritted his teeth and said:
"I know, we are put together by these supporting elves! They are using their ability to cheat us out of our wealth
"Stupid!"
As soon as his voice fell, he was met with the chief angry roar.
The old chief trembled with anger. He coughed a few times and said angrily:
"there is something wrong with these elves. Didn't you see it at first?! Didn't you go through the Messengers' ditch to black rock city? "
"Although the city of blade successfully defended the attack, don't you understand their situation? Even if you don't know the specific information, don't you know to inquire? "
"When you don't understand everything, you can easily sign an agreement with the elves like a city of blades. Isn't that stupid?"
"These strange elves are as cunning as human beings, but your stupidity is the biggest cause of our city-state's present situation."
The old chief roared angrily.
Dorulu, on the other hand, looked flustered and bowed his head and did not dare to speak.
As if he was tired, the old chief took a breath and shook his head deeply:
"ah..."
His voice was very tired.
After a moment's silence, the old chief looked again at dorulu.
This time, his eyes are very serious and serious:
"dorulu, I ask you now, what should we do next
At the chief's words, dorulu raised his head.
When he saw the city-state chief, also his grandfather's stern eyes, subconsciously some dodge.
But soon, he got up his courage and bit his teeth and said:
"they are deceiving us!"
"So These elves have always been 20000 people who are constantly repeating the process of death and resurrection! "
"In this case, there is no need for us to pay the promised reward! What's more, we should also recover the money that we paid them more! "
After hearing dorulu's words, the old chief's face was even more livid.
He grabbed a crutch from his bed and hit him in the face with his backhand. At the same time, he growled angrily:
"stupid!"
