"Doluru, why is this guy here?"
Looking at a certain figure that appeared in Black Rock City, Breen muttered in his heart.
It was an Underground Gnome wearing a gorgeous human aristocratic costume. Although the human costume looked good, it did not match the Gnome. Not only did he not look noble, but he looked more like a clown.
At this moment, this Underground Gnome, accompanied by a few guards, hurriedly walked toward the Grim Reaper's Shrine in Black Rock City. There was a hint of anxiety and worry on his face, as if he had encountered something urgent.
Underground Gnome Doluru.
He was Breen's classmate when he was studying in the Underground City of Shanatar when he was young. He was the first successor of the most powerful Underground Gnome family in Shanatar City and also the grandson of the current Chief.
He was currently a diplomat in Shanatar City and was said to be the next Chief.
Just like the relationship between Blade City and Shanatar City, although the two were classmates, they had always disliked each other.
After Breen became the Chief of Blade City, it was said that Doluru had once said in public that "with Breen's idiotic ability, he will definitely lead Blade City into decline" and so on …
Of course, in reality, it was because he saw Breen become the Chief of Dungeon City first, so he just felt jealous.
When Breen saw Doluru, the other party also saw him.
The moment he saw Breen, Doluru immediately put away his expression and at the same time, raised his nostrils to the sky and ridiculed in a strange manner.
"Yo! Isn't this Breen from Blade City? "
"I heard that not long after the war started in Blade City, they had already spent all their years of savings. They also owed the surrounding city-states close to 10,000 sets of superior equipment. They even caused the reinforcements to suffer heavy casualties. It seems that … this year's chief of Blade City is still not good enough."
"I don't know what Lord Firebeard is thinking, passing the Chief's position to such a guy …"
Hearing the ridicule in the other party's words, Breen's expression darkened.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and replied,
"It's better than trash who only knows how to talk about people behind their backs."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the tired and worried guards behind Dorolo. He thought of the geographical location of the two cities and the military arrangement of the Dark Coalition that he already knew … He understood something in his heart.
He smiled faintly and said, "That's right.
"Lord Doluru, you should do your job as soon as possible. I heard that Sanatar has also become the target of the Dark Alliance. Now that we have defeated the enemy, they might change their target. If that's the case … your city will be in danger."
"It's a pity … Our Blade City has suffered heavy losses in this war. There's no way we can provide any support."
"Hmph!"
Doluru's face darkened after hearing Breen's words.
He took a deep look at Bryn and walked towards the Temple of Death with his personal guards.
Gazing at his back, Brin shook his head.
Judging from Doluru's reaction, it was likely that Lord Firebeard's guess was correct. The Dark Coalition did not choose to retreat. Instead, they changed the direction of their attack and targeted another underground city — Shanatar.
As for Doluru, it was clear that he was here to ask for help.
Speaking of which, although the Elves and the Dark and Still Alliance had formed an alliance, many of the Dark and Still Alliance's underground cities were still observing the Elves.
On one hand, it was because they were not under much pressure from the war. On the other hand, it was because they were very doubtful of the strength of the long-eared Elves.
Blade City was besieged by an army and urgently needed reinforcements. That was why they called the Elves over and completely displayed their terrifying combat power.
Blade City successfully defended itself, which allowed the other city-states to truly witness the power of the Elves.
Of course, they did not know enough about the details of the battle. What they knew was that with the help of the Elves, Blade City only took three days to defeat the enemy …
Also, Blade City seemed to have owed a lot of debts in this war …
Seeing Doluru enter the Temple of Death, Breen's lips curled into a cold smile.
Hehe.
Blade City owes a debt?
I want to know how much Shanatar owes!
He did represent Blade City to change the agreement with the Elves, but that was only Blade City's unilateral decision.
The underground world was originally full of competition and chaos. Although Blade City and Shanatar were both allied city-states of the Dark and Still Alliance, there was also competition between them.
Under such circumstances, Blade City, which had suffered a great loss, naturally would not consider the other city-states.
Even if they were allies.
Speaking of which, it was this group of allies who wantonly raised the prices of goods when Blade City was besieged and profited from the war. Even the equipment that Blade City owed was bought at a much higher price from other city-states …
Not to mention the extra reinforcements.
It was no wonder that the Dark and Still Alliance could not defeat the Dark Alliance. If they were not united, no matter how strong they were, they would not be able to exert their strength. Not to mention, they were not as strong as the enemy …
In fact, in the agreement between the Dark and Still Alliance and the Elves, the explanation about equipment was only that "the Alliance needed to provide the necessary equipment for the Elves who supported them".
The other details were added by the underground cities during the specific implementation process.
In other words, the agreement of Blade City did not apply to other underground cities.
And now, seeing that it was Shanatar's turn to ask for help, Bryn naturally would not remind him of anything.
With the Elves' participation, the city would most likely be defended, but he did not know how much debt they would owe.
They would most likely go bankrupt. After all, Blade City was not taken down. The Dark Alliance would definitely invest more forces to besiege Shanatar …
Bryn thought in his heart.
Thinking of Doluru's possible expression after the war in the future, Bryn felt a trace of pleasure in his heart.
As a mature Underground resident, he was also very vengeful.
Hmm …
When he went back this time, he would prepare well and see if he could use Shanatar's defense to make up for the lost wealth.
That's right, as a qualified commercial Underground City Chief, he was already thinking about how to use the gap in information to cut off Shanatar's fleece …
…
Doluru was indeed here to ask for help.
After the Dark Alliance's army gave up on besieging Blade City, they quickly shifted their main target to them. For a time, the pressure on the entire city multiplied.
And with Blade City's success as a precedent, they naturally directed their request to the Elves.
The process of their request for help was very smooth.
After losing the way to use the resurrection ability to farm equipment in Blade City, the regretful players received a request for help from the new city-state. They immediately became excited as if they had discovered a new continent.
Thus, Doluru easily reached an agreement with the players.
Hmm … just like Blade City.
