"The Dark Coalition retreated too quickly."
Looking at the terrifying number of troops outside the city wall, Huo Xu muttered.
As a Dark Dwarf who had participated in many wars, Huo Xu had a much better understanding of the Dark City Alliance than others.
The Fallen Undead were the common vanguard of the Dark City Alliance. Generally speaking, it was impossible for the other party to retreat until the target was breached or the Undead Army was exhausted.
But now, the other party had only lost half of the Undead Army and stopped the siege of Blade City.
This was not normal.
There was only one meaning for such a situation to occur, and that was that the other side was determined to win this war.
Therefore, after discovering that Blade City was stronger than expected and there was no hope of breaching the city, the army of the Dark Coalition retreated.
This kind of retreat was not giving up the attack, but like a vicious wolf that had bitten its target, they once again lurked in the darkness to preserve their strength and prepare for a better opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
However, this also showed that the other party had realized the power of Blade City.
Looking at the Undead Army that was gradually retreating, Huo Xu sighed.
"Looks like … this war is really going to take a long time …"
"I don't know when my Lord will be able to truly control his authority and make these traitors pay a painful price …"
The Undead Army actually attacked the city that worshipped the God of Death …
Although the other party was a Fallen Undead that escaped the control of the God of Death under the influence of the Shadow Power and the Abyss Power, there was nothing more depressing than this.
However, this was the reality of the Church of Death in the underground world.
Compared to the God of Darkness and Shadows who had started to set up the underground world 10,000 years ago, the influence of the God of Death Hella in the underground world was too small.
Perhaps her status was higher than that of the God of Darkness and Shadows, but it did not mean that she could suppress the other party in all aspects.
The underground world had long become Holder's home ground. It was already amazing that the Church of Death could tear open a gap under his nose and establish a city-state alliance that could contend with him.
If the power of faith was weak, no matter how powerful a true god was, it would be easy for them to fail in the struggles of the mortal world.
Not to mention, this was the underground world that was filled with Dark Power, infiltrated by Holder, and closer to the Abyss!
Of course, what Huo Xu didn't know was that the Dark Coalition was also shocked by the power displayed by Blade City.
Amongst them, the elves that had appeared out of nowhere, with fearsome combat power and complete disregard for their own lives. At the same time, their bodies seemed to carry a strange power that could absorb the soulfire of the undead and completely destroy the undead army to replenish their own strength … were the key factors that made the Dark Coalition choose to retreat.
The higher-ups of the Dark Coalition had already begun to investigate the strange elves that had appeared on the battlefield.
Behind the Dark Coalition army, in a temporary camp.
A humanoid monster with a light purple body and a black cloak was standing in front of a burning black flame, chanting something.
His head looked like that of a giant octopus, and there were four wriggling tentacles near his mouth that extended all the way to his chest. A layer of transparent mucus could be faintly seen.
This was a Spirit-Absorbing Monster.
Similar to the Dark Dwarves and Underground Gnomes, Spirit-Absorbing Monsters were also an intelligent species in the underground world.
They were natural-born spellcasters who were good at Spirit and Soul spells. Most of them believed in the God of Darkness and Shadows, Holger. The man in front of him was the mayor of an underground city-state called Olindor in the Dark City-State Alliance. He was a Bloodline Warlock with the strength of an intermediate Gold-rank.
Olindor was an underground city that was not far from Blade City and had trade conflicts with Blade City all year round. The two cities were historical enemies.
The army that besieged Blade City this time was also led by this underground city castellan who was subdued by Lich King Pelone.
Of course, with the power of Olindor City, it was impossible to gather such a powerful army on normal days.
This was the army that Lich King Pelone gathered from the nearby cities after he consolidated the power of the Dark Coalition …
At this moment, the castellan of Olindor City stood in the camp and chanted an obscure spell.
As he chanted, the black flame floating in front of him quickly expanded, and finally turned into an eye made of deep flames.
The eye emitted a heart-palpitating pressure, causing the castellan of Olindor to lower his arrogant head and speak with slight respect.
"The great castellan of Morso City, Lich King, your loyal subordinate has something to report …"
"Our siege on Blade City has suffered a setback. Blade City has sought the support of the elves. The elves are very strange and there are a lot of them. Their weapons seem to have been blessed by the Gods of the Underworld, causing great damage to the undead …"
"We have sent out investigators and have a preliminary understanding of the origin of these elves. They come from the Underworld and seem to believe in an unfamiliar God called Eve …"
"I suspect … this war has attracted the attention of other great beings …"
The commander of the allied forces told him everything he knew.
Hearing his words, the eye made of flames flickered a few times and a dignified and heavy voice sounded.
"I am aware of the matter."
"I will inform the Lord of this matter and ask him to make a decision."
"The forces of the Dark Still Alliance have always been scattered and not united. Since Blade City has sought strong reinforcements, then withdraw your troops and go north to support Shahnatar …"
Shahnatar was another underground city that belonged to the Dark Still Alliance. It was also the first target of the Dark Still Alliance's attack.
However, Blade City was the main attacking force and Shahnatar was the supporting force.
Shahnatar was closer to the other cities of the Dark Still Alliance, so it was more convenient for them to provide reinforcements.
"I understand."
The castellan of Olindor bowed deeply to show his respect.
… …
The Dark Still Alliance had retreated!
When the army besieging Blade City finally retreated, the entire city welcomed a festive cheer.
Merchants once again boldly entered the city to trade with the dwarves and gnomes. The entire business of Blade City was once again in operation.
Brin also let out a long sigh of relief.
Finally, he did not have to go bankrupt!
However, although he was relieved, he was still vigilant in his heart.
Unlike the people, Firebeard had already told him his worries. He knew that the war was far from over and that the Dark Still Alliance had temporarily given up on attacking Blade City.
Just as he was thinking about how to arrange the city's defense, he suddenly received a piece of news that shocked him and made him instantly understand the series of events that had happened recently.
"What? You said … these elves who are supporting us have the ability to not die? After they die, they will be revived in the Underworld?! "
