The army that followed Matriarch Cynthia to the surface this time was the elite force of the Knosolis tribe, and those who could survive the upheaval in Basuvius Castle were the best of the best.
Under the circumstances of doing their best, capturing some spies of the survivors was of course a piece of cake.
The drows had exceeded Cecilia's mission. At the same time, they also received a reward. Batch after batch of new plague nemesis drugs were sent to the drows' barracks. Both sides got along very well, and there was a sense of family between the two races.
…
Baishi City, the mayor's mansion.
Nightfall.
"My Lord, the last batch of drugs has been sent to the drows' barracks as scheduled today," the knight captain, Tim, reported.
"Got it."
Cecilia sat on a carved recliner and quietly flipped through a book. This was a book about the anecdotes of the underground world.
The assistance of the Empire, as well as the arrival of masters from various industries, brought about visible changes. In the past, the mayor's mansion could be said to be poor. Even the tables and chairs were in a crude state without any carvings. How could there be such an exquisite and comfortable recliner?
Tim wanted to say something but stopped.
Cecilia looked up and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"My Lord, I think we have too much trust in the drows? The plague's nemesis drug was our only trump card to restrain them … Now that the trump card has been used, it's hard to say if the drows will still cooperate with us to fight against the Lord of Pestilence and the remnants. "
Cecilia nodded. "I know this very well, but Dior has made preparations in advance, so you don't have to worry …"
Before she finished speaking, the ground rumbled and shook.
Hurried footsteps were heard. The knight captain, Marco, had not arrived, but his voice was heard first. "My Lord, it's not good! Those long-eared monsters have launched a night attack on us! "
Cecilia suddenly stood up and asked as she walked out, "What's the specific situation?"
"Phil is leading the city guards to resist to the death. Fortunately, the walls of Baishi City are high and thick. With the help of the city defense equipment, the drows can't break through our defense for a while," Marco said.
"I understand. Tim, go to the barracks immediately and find the Knight of Divine Grace, Berita. Give her Dior's note! She knows what to do! "Cecilia said.
Tim took the note full of doubts, but he had to suppress his curiosity and leave in a hurry.
Cecilia led Marco and a group of knights to the top of the city wall.
In the hazy night, they could see the drow army advancing in echelons. The first team tried to climb the city wall, but they were all smashed down by the rain of arrows and rolling logs on the wall.
Behind them were a large number of drow reserves. When the casualties of the first team were relatively large, the second team would take over the siege and the first team would come down to rest and reorganize.
This was a common tactic used by the besiegers to maintain the pressure on the defenders. Of course, this tactic was built on the premise that one's side had a great advantage in terms of military strength.
The drow army was an elite force that could compete with the regular army of the empire. Even though they had suffered setbacks in the Xisha Province and had lost a lot in the war with the Divine Court and the remnants in the Northland Province, the remaining troops were several times more powerful than the Whitestone Army.
The quality of the soldiers was much better than that of the Whitestone Army, which had just been formed.
What's more, the drow's night vision was excellent, and they had a great advantage in attacking the city at night.
The above reasons were where Matriarch Cynthia's confidence lay. She didn't even need a special strategy. It was enough to defeat the Whitestone Army's defense with her superior forces.
On the city wall, taking advantage of the enemy's first and second team's rotation, Cecilia took a deep breath and said loudly, "Your Excellency Matriarch Cynthia! Is this how you treat your savior? "
If it were an ordinary person who did such a thing, they might not dare to show up for fear of losing face. But the drow was obviously not ordinary.
Matriarch Cynthia rode on the back of a big spider with a smile on her face and a clear voice, "Human female castellan, thank you for the antidote. Then as a thank you gift, I will spare your lives … provided that you surrender. "
"After this incident, do you think we will still believe you?" Cecilia said coldly, "You drow are a group of untrustworthy scum!"
Clap, clap, clap.
Clear and crisp applause sounded.
Matriarch Cynthia clapped her hands and said with a smile, "A very sincere accusation. The great Spider Queen has warned us that the enemy's accusation will be regarded as a supreme reward. "
There was no point in chatting anymore.
The values of the two sides were not on the same starting line at all.
"What a disgusting doctrine." Cecilia shook her head and closed the book in her hand.
"Hey, are you really not going to surrender?" Matriarch Cynthia said with a smile, "Our military strength is ten times greater than yours, and stubbornly resisting won't end well … The Imperial Army hasn't arrived yet, and you have no hope."
"The prosperity of Whitestone City didn't come easily. Even if we fight to the last breath, we will never surrender and become slaves of the drow! "Cecilia said resolutely.
"Then there's nothing to say."
Matriarch Cynthia waved her hand and gave the order to attack the city.
"I hope you won't regret it."
"I hope you won't regret it."
The same sentence was said by the leaders of both sides at the same time. Their voices were very low, and they were just talking to themselves. It wasn't much of a conversation.
The drow increased the intensity of the siege and sent out a third reserve team to help the siege.
Battle cries, the clashing of weapons, and the sound of arrows piercing through the air sounded nonstop.
In the fierce battle, the sound of wheels was insignificant … but Cecilia heard it with her sharp senses. She had been waiting for this.
Wearing a mask, Berita covered her small face tightly. Behind her was a long line of flatbed carts, and each cart carried a big wooden bucket.
Just like Bonita, the soldier pulling the carriage was wearing a thick mask.
When they came to the bottom of the city wall, Berita's voice sounded. "Castellan, the thing you wanted is here … What is it? Why are the security rules so strict? "
"You don't need to know, Ms. Berita, the warehouse manager. Go back. It's better for you, "Cecilia said gently.
"No, no. If I leave like this, I'll be too curious to sleep." Berita raised her hand. "I can join the battle and fight against the evil underground! Yes, that's it. "
"Okay then."
Cecilia waved her hand and ordered, "Move the wooden buckets to the top of the city wall!"
These wooden buckets were heavy, but the spiritual world soldiers were strong men and human-shaped cranes, and it was easy for them to move them.
"Catapults! Use these wooden buckets as stones and throw them at the drow's defense line! "
