Black Rock City's city hall.
The old dwarf Bahrain sat at his desk, his head lowered as he dealt with the daily affairs of Black Rock City.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the room, causing him to raise his head and frown.
Hammer the Dwarf stumbled into the hall, accompanied by faint noises and screams.
"Lord Bahrain! Lord Bahrain! A group of dwarven guards suddenly came to the city hall, they took Elder Celine and Elder Lothu away! They even said that they are followers of darkness, you should go and take a look! "
Dwarven guards?
Bahrain's pupils contracted slightly, the quill in his hand being crushed in half.
"How many people came? Where did they go? "
He forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and asked.
"They should be here soon, you should go and persuade them! The city hall is loyal to the Church of Death, how could there be followers of darkness? You … "
Halfway through his words, Hammer was stunned.
Because he saw the usually calm Elder Bahrain hurriedly turn around and open the window, intending to escape …
"Elder?"
Hammer was still a little confused.
At this moment, several fully-armed Dark Dwarven guards rushed in.
"On the orders of the Church Leader, we are here to arrest the followers of darkness! Ba Lin, you have nowhere to go. Surrender now! "
What happened? How could they have been exposed?
Hearing the voice of the guards behind him, Bahrain's face was filled with fear.
The Elder was actually a follower of darkness?
Hammer was stunned.
Bahrain panicked and hastened his actions.
However, just as he flipped out of the room, he was surrounded by another group of guards and was quickly tied up …
Similar things began to happen in various parts of Black Rock City. The Dark Dwarven guards seemed to have 'eyes', they accurately captured a large number of followers of darkness …
… …
In a mine at the back of the mountain in Black Rock City.
A few followers pushed the wheelchair-bound Hearthstone as they fled in panic.
Hearthstone's face was filled with disbelief.
"How did we get exposed? What's going on? "
His plan was very good. If the elves could cause chaos, he would order the followers of darkness to take the opportunity to sneak into the Church of Death and destroy the statue. After that, he would launch a pincer attack from both inside and outside, summoning an army of shadows to completely eliminate the followers of the Church of Death in Black Rock City.
And if the elves didn't act according to plan, he would obediently lay low for a period of time and wait for the Church of Death and the elven mercenaries to become careless before thinking of ways to intensify the conflict between both sides …
But … how did all of his men get exposed in the blink of an eye?
Hearthstone panicked. Surrounded by his trusted subordinates, he fled out of the city through a secret tunnel.
"It's over. If I lose my foundation in Black Rock City this time, I won't be able to destroy the statue …"
Hearthstone's face paled.
As long as the statue of the Grim Reaper still had its power, Black Rock City would be almost unbreakable. The Dark Believers would not be able to completely overthrow the Grim Reaper's rule of faith here!
Even if he had an army of shadow creatures as his trump card, it would be difficult for it to work.
This was because the power of faith of a true god was a great threat to shadow creatures. It was extremely lethal!
He could already imagine the wrath of the True God if he failed his mission.
Death was not frightening, because the True God had ways to make you suffer even more after death!
Although Black Rock City was not large, it was still one of the sources of faith for the God of Darkness and Shadows, Holger. After the believers of the Grim Reaper completely expelled his faith here, this ancient True God felt angry and humiliated …
The retaking of Black Rock City this time was an oracle personally issued by this True God for his believers!
If they failed, as the leader, Hearthstone, he would definitely meet a miserable end.
But … what was going on?
Hearthstone could not understand. He could only flee in panic with his trusted subordinates surrounding him …
When he finally arrived outside Black Rock City through the secret tunnel, he was stunned.
Someone was already waiting for him here.
"Hearthstone, you have nowhere else to go."
A clear voice rang out. It was the female Church of Death's High Priest!
She led a group of dark dwarven guards to block the exit of the secret tunnel.
However, at this moment, the Dwarf High Priest had completely returned to her original appearance. She had removed the possession of the Grim Reaper Hella.
Hella's consciousness had already returned to the Underworld.
"You … How did you discover us?"
Hearthstone gnashed his teeth.
The Church of Death's High Priest looked at the red-eyed Hearthstone and sighed softly. A hint of fanaticism appeared in her eyes.
"Under the gaze of a True God, you have nowhere to hide!"
True … True God?
Hearthstone was stunned. He then noticed that the Church of Death's aura seemed to be faintly discernible …
In an instant, he came to a realization.
"So that's how it is! You really used the power of a True God from the idol! "
The Church of Death's High Priest neither admitted nor denied it.
Instead, she said, "Surrender, Hearthstone. We've already captured all your believers of darkness in the city."
"Surrender?"
Hearthstone sneered at the Church of Death's High Priest.
After confirming that the Church of Death had really used the power of the idol, he calmed down.
Hearthstone narrowed his eyes and said:
"I don't know if you're smart or stupid. To actually use the power of the Church to capture us, but … How much power does the Church of Death have left?"
"No matter how much is left, you have already failed."
The Church of Death's High Priest said.
"Heh …"
Hearthstone laughed. A hint of madness appeared in his eyes.
"We still don't know who will win!"
With that, a deep energy began to gather on his body.
"Not good. Hide!"
The Dwarven High Priest's expression changed.
Upon hearing her command, all of the dwarven guards retreated one after another.
Under the solemn gazes of all the Dark Dwarves, this Dark God's Chosen ignited her own power of faith. Her entire body turned into a mass of black flames, and a deep light soared into the sky.
"It's … a signal!"
The Dwarven High Priest's expression was solemn, but she did not panic. It was as if she had expected this.
"It's an emergency signal!"
In an underground forest outside Black Rock City, a dozen Dark Dwarves in grayish-black robes looked in the direction of Black Rock City with solemn expressions.
"It's Lord Hearthstone. I'm afraid something has happened in the city. He ordered us to summon the Shadow Legion immediately."
A deep and hoarse voice spoke.
With that, the Dark Dwarves looked at each other, then nodded. They stepped forward and swept away the fallen leaves on the ground.
As the fallen leaves were swept away, a large magic circle that had been drawn long ago was gradually revealed on the ground.
They came to the magic circle and knelt around it. They began to pray softly and chant a rhythmic incantation.
As they chanted, the magic circle gradually emitted a deep light, and a chaotic and cold aura began to gather.
At the same time, the center of the magic circle suddenly lit up. The ground began to shake, and a dark gray energy soared into the sky.
… …
In Black Rock City, the players who were still watching the Dark Dwarves fight in surprise and curiosity suddenly felt the ground shake.
"Look, what's that?"
Someone pointed to the sky.
The players looked up and saw four dark gray energy pillars rising into the sky from all directions. A cold and chaotic aura came from afar.
Following that, the top of the four energy pillars collapsed one after another, as if they had turned into four erupting volcanoes. Streaks of even smaller, dark grey arcs rained down onto the ground like rain. Some of them even fell directly into Black Rock City!
As soon as they landed, the dark gray energy began to change like squirming jelly. Finally, they turned into dark gray translucent humanoid monsters wrapped in thick black smoke.
On the city walls of Black Rock City, the Dwarf guards saw the sudden appearance of a dense group of strange monsters, and their expressions changed.
"Shadow creatures! It's an army of shadow creatures! "
"Not good! Blow the alarm and close the city gates. Inform the temple to activate the defensive divine spell! "
With the loud sound of the horn, the guards on the city walls began to move.
"Guard Captain, this is bad! The energy stored in the temple has been used up! "
"What?!"
"But the Temple Master said that the elves will help us defend the city!"
"Elves? Just them? What can they do? "
The Dark Dwarves' guard captain was speechless, and his expression was furious.
… …
In Black Rock City.
The city had already fallen into chaos with the arrival of a small number of shadow creatures.
These shadow creatures that had suddenly appeared were incomparably strong. Normal attacks could not cause any significant damage to them, and they began to kill wildly in the city, devouring everything.
They roared, bared their fangs and brandished their claws. They climbed on the houses and galloped on the ground, using their sharp claws that were shrouded in black fog to tear apart all living things in sight.
The Dwarf guards had no choice but to gather in twos and threes to fight against the shadow creatures.
Wails, screams, roars, the clashing of weapons, and the chanting of spells could be heard everywhere.
Seeing this chaotic scene, the players were stunned.
"F * ck! Are the special effects so scary? "
Although they had experienced a great battle with the Orcs, these terrifying monsters still gave them a fright.
"Don't just stand there! Go get the equipment! There's a war! There's a war! "
Demacia cursed and hurriedly ran toward the city gates.
The other players also came to their senses. They suppressed their fear of these ghost-like shadow creatures and followed after them one after another.
On the city walls, the Dark Dwarves' guard captain led his soldiers to cut down a shadow creature that was trying to climb up the city walls. Looking at the densely packed shadow army in the distance, his expression was very unpleasant.
"I'm afraid there are at least a few thousand of them! It might even exceed ten thousand! "
His voice trembled slightly.
Without the temple's defensive divine spells, how could Black Rock City defend against them?!
At this moment, the surrounding guards suddenly cried out in alarm.
"Captain, be careful!"
The Dwarf guard captain's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of danger suddenly arose.
He swung his sword and turned around, only to see a shadow creature that had descended in the city pouncing toward him.
Caught off guard, he was suddenly knocked down, and even his weapon was knocked away. The shadow creature waved its sharp claws that were shrouded in black fog and stabbed at his body.
Just as the Dwarf guard captain was horrified and thought that he was about to die, he saw a huge fireball suddenly fly over and hit the shadow creature.
The fireball exploded, and the shadow creature let out a mournful cry. Half of the black fog surrounding its body dissipated, revealing a dark grey translucent body.
The Dwarf guard captain took the opportunity to break free from the opponent's claws, picked up his weapon and fled.
He panted heavily as he looked in the direction that the fireball had just flown from. He saw a pink-haired elven girl wearing a magic robe and holding a magic staff three to four meters away.
The elven girl was excited. She looked at her magic staff and murmured happily.
"I hit it! I hit it! "
The guard captain was speechless.
Behind them, more fully-armed Elves rushed up the city walls …
Their expressions were very strange. Some were nervous, some were excited. Warriors, mages, hunters, and all kinds of professions … but they were all brimming with high morale.
They waved their weapons and roared as they climbed up the city walls, beginning to assist the Dark Dwarves in their defense.
At the same time, the Dwarf guard captain also heard one after another in the common language.
"Support the dwarves!"
"Quick, quick! Spread out and defend! Don't let a monster in! "
"Kill them!"
"Hurrah —!"
Looking at the elves who were even more spirited than the dwarven soldiers, the guard captain was stunned.
