No one expected that shanathar, which was well stocked and well defended, would be defeated.
In fact, it was not the city that was forced down from the inside, but from the inside of the city.
Everyone did not expect that the current chief grandson, the underground city diplomat dorulu, would collude with the forces of the Dark Alliance.
Taking advantage of the chief sleeping in his bed, he steals the authority key of the dungeon core held by the other party, thus bypassing the defense magic barrier of shanathar city state, and secretly establishes a transmission array connecting the outside and inside the city
So, in the case of no response from all of us, suddenly a large number of undead appeared in the city.
They destroyed the teleportation array in the city-state and destroyed the statue of death in the temple of death.
The statue of death is the core that provides the source of strength for defense divinity. Once the statue is destroyed, the whole defense divinity of shanathar will collapse.
When the teleport array is destroyed, the supporting elves can no longer support through teleport
As a result, the city's defenders and elves were immediately left alone.
Thus, the dark army, which had been ready outside the city, joined forces with the city's internal and surprise troops, and easily opened the gate that had not been broken for several months.
The supposed fierce siege did not take place. The Dark Alliance soon occupied the wall of shanathar, while the original defenders left a corpse and retreated into the city.
The war soon turned into a fierce street battle. The defenders in the city and the Dark Alliance Army that attacked the city launched a fierce fight in the city.
However, the forces of the Dark Alliance are well prepared.
They gathered a full 150000 army of the dead and 80000 ordinary troops, which can be called the strongest force in the western part of the underground world.
By contrast, sanatar's quiet Alliance forces are too weak.
There are less than 20000 defenders in the city, and even the number of elves still in the city is limited. The total number is less than 3000.
In the attack of the Dark Alliance Army, the army of dark dwarfs and underground dwarfs suffered heavy losses, and the elves died in succession, and the streets of the city were stained with blood.
And the remaining strength of the alliance of solitude has been pushed into the deepest mine of the city step by step, and is supported by some solid fortifications
In less than two days, the Dark Alliance's forces occupied most of shanatar, leaving only a few mines deep in the city occupied by the dark dwarfs, underground dwarfs, and Elven mercenaries retreating into it.
It is easy to defend and hard to attack, but it is short of materials. As long as the Dark Alliance keeps them there, they have to surrender and starve to death
It can be said that by this time, the Dark Alliance has actually occupied the whole sanatar.
The original city residents were forced to stay at home, the rebels were slaughtered, the chief cartela was killed by the Betrayer dorulu himself, and dorulu was appointed the new chief by the dark city states alliance, and announced that the dark and shadow church would become the new official faith of the city-state.
At the same time, the army of the Dark Alliance also connected the God of darkness and shadow into the original God of death temple, which activated the defense magic barrier of the city again.
Only this time, the target of divine defense barrier has been reversed.
At this point, the fall of sanatar was declared.
When the news spread all over the alliance of the silent city states, all the city states were in an uproar.
No one expected that sanatar would fall so suddenly
And after the uproar, it was panic soon.
Dorulu of shanatar city-state betrayed, and his betrayal directly led to the fall of the city, so Are other cities, like this one, already infiltrated by the forces of the Dark Alliance?
In addition, sanatar and blade city are both the gateway to the alliance of silent city states and the alliance of dark city states, and their geographical location is too sensitive.
From the map of underground world West, the overall landform of underground west district is like a gourd with its head facing north.
The cucurbit mouth is the passageway to the chasm cave. The alliance of the silent city states occupies the upper part of the gourd, while the alliance of the dark city states occupies the lower part. The two underground city states are located in the center of the gourd and are the entrance to the dark area on the second floor
In this case, the defense war between shanatar and the city of edge is the key to the whole war. The situation here can even become the direction of the whole underground world war, and the decisive battle may happen here.
As long as the defense is good, as long as it is consumed, the victory in secular wars will surely belong to the silent alliance.
But if any city-state is broken, it will open the door of the alliance of the silent city states, and the army of the Dark Alliance will be able to drive in, and the situation will be very bad in an instant
But now, a city-state has been broken!In a sense, it can be said that the Dark Alliance has won a decisive victory in this war.
After all, judging from the strength comparison between the two sides, perhaps if defending a single city, the solitude alliance can rely on the support of the elves, but when multiple city states are attacked at the same time, it is dangerous.
Not every city-state has tens of thousands of garrisons like these two cities. The underground cities of the more silent city-state alliance have less than 10000 troops.
Of course, this is also because the Dark Alliance has a special means to make the normal undead degenerate and corrupt, so that the silent alliance can not use the army of the dead in the war with the Dark Alliance.
In this case, the forces of the Dark Alliance can easily besiege at least five underground cities at the same time by virtue of the advantage of quantity, and may be able to break through them easily.
It is worth mentioning that, considering the cost of establishing the ultra long distance transmission array, although when seeking support, the Party of the quiet alliance decided to establish the ultra long distance transmission array in various cities, but this was not the case.
The real situation is that only the edge city and shanathar are in the key position, and the surplus cities choose to establish the ultra long distance transmission array connecting the black rock city.
The closer the other cities of the alliance are to huluzi, the closer they are to the city of black rock, and the lower the cost of establishing an ultra long distance transmission array and maintaining the operation of the array However, the more remote they are, the poorer they will be. Even if the cost is lower, they will not be able to afford it. At most, they have established an ordinary transmission array between them.
Of course, this is also because the solitude alliance is at most a loose city-state alliance, and it is impossible to allocate and utilize the resources of each city-state effectively.
In this case, even the players, it is difficult to provide effective support.
Of course, in theory, players can also teleport to two key city states, and then transfer them to other cities through the normal teleport array.
But the crux of the problem is also here.
Blade city and shanathar do have teleportation arrays that connect other underground city states. However, these teleportation arrays are concentrated in the city-state of shanathar. The city of blade has only one teleportation array connecting with shanathar city.
This led to the fact that once the city of shanathar was broken, the city of blade was disconnected from the rest of the cities of the alliance of solitude.
The reason why the alliance of solitude will set up transmission array in this way is that although the two cities are in key positions, the edge city is closer to the sphere of influence of the dark city-state alliance, and it is the enemy on three sides. It is too risky to establish a large-scale transmission array connecting other city States here
After all, according to everyone's estimation, if one of the two cities must be broken, it must be the city of edge. If the transmission array is established for support, shanatar city state is enough.
As a result, it turned out that sanatar was first attacked.
So much to say, in fact, to sum up, that is one thing.
That is the loss of shanatar, which has declared the failure of the alliance of silence strategically. If you want to win this war, you can't rely on secular forces alone.
