There was no day or night in the underground world, only eternal darkness.
The dark environment made the underground world more oppressive and gloomy than the surface. For the Holy City of Death, Itcazar, this oppressive atmosphere could be said to have reached its peak at this moment.
The small holy city had been surrounded by a dark army.
It was the army of the Dark City Alliance.
The Lich King Pelone personally led an army of 50,000 undead, 20,000 cannon fodder troops made up of goblins, monsters, and demonic beasts, and 15,000 ordinary troops made up of Spirit-suckers and Dark Dwarves. They besieged Itcazar, which had less than 8,000 defenders.
Other than the main force of the army, the Dark Coalition also had close to 200 Silver professions and 7 Gold professions!
Four Death Knights, two Spirit-suckers Bloodline Warlocks, and one Dwarf Warrior.
Among the Silver Professionals and Gold Professionals, nearly half of them had been promoted in the past six months.
It was also because of the huge increase in strength that the Lich King had the confidence to compete with the Dark Still Alliance.
The forces besieging Itcazar were equivalent to more than one-third of the strength of the entire Dark City Alliance.
The Lich King was determined to win this holy city.
The Dark Coalition's army had besieged the city for three days.
In these three days, they had already launched four consecutive attacks.
Although they still had not breached Itcazar, they had brought great pressure to the city defense and defenders.
Anyone with a little military knowledge could see that although the holy city's defensive divine barrier was still full of energy, the defenders in the city had suffered heavy casualties.
Under the several attacks of the Dark Coalition, they had suffered casualties of more than half, and their morale had fallen to a very dangerous level …
If it were not for the firm belief in the God of Death, and if it were not for the fact that most of the soldiers in Itcazar were devout believers, many would have planned to escape through the teleportation circle.
There were no more reinforcements.
Other than Blade City, the remaining ten underground cities that were not besieged were relatively small in scale.
Not to mention their weak strength, in the face of five allies besieged by five Dark Coalition armies, the support they could provide was limited.
Itcazar had received the most reinforcements, but in the face of the larger and more powerful Dark Coalition army, these reinforcements could only be exhausted by the repeated attacks.
The Dark City-State Alliance, which had 50 underground city-states and integrated their strength, was far more powerful than the Silent City-State Alliance, which only had 17 city-states and a loose structure.
Both above and below the city walls were equipment that had been left behind. Fresh blood had dyed the ground a dark red. Corpses that had been purified from afar to prevent them from turning into Undead were either scattered below the city walls or piled up on top of the city walls to be burned by the defenders …
The pungent smell was nauseating.
There was nothing he could do about it.
This was because no one knew if these purified corpses would rise again with the next attack of the Dark Coalition and turn into fallen Undead to continue the battle …
In the camp of the Alliance of Dark States.
The Lich King Pelone was wiping a thick black book inlaid with gold, quietly waiting for something.
The cover of the book was decorated with bone patterns, and there were also pictures that symbolized death. There was also a faint trace of Divine Power slowly flowing on it.
However, if one looked carefully, one would find that this book was also inlaid with a dark gray shadow gem that was not very suitable.
The Lich King injected his power into the shadow gem, and the entire book emitted a faint halo …
The halo scattered, and for a moment, the Undead Army on the Dark Coalition's side bowed down.
This was a true god artifact called the Book of Death.
It was also because of this true god artifact that the Lich King could control the fallen Undead and prevent the Silent City-State Alliance from easily mobilizing the Undead Army.
Just as the Lich King was controlling the Book of Death, suddenly, a Death Knight came in front of him.
The Death Knight knelt on one knee and then said in a deep voice,
"Your Majesty, the emissary we sent to Itcazar to persuade them to surrender has been executed by the Church of Death's Grand Shrine Master. They placed the corpses on top of the city walls and cremated them in public …"
Hearing his words, the Lich King Pelone's movements paused slightly.
He was silent for a few seconds, then sneered and said,
"Understood."
"Since they're unwilling to surrender, then let's begin the final siege."
"Pass down the order, all troops attack and begin the siege! After the city is breached, all soldiers are allowed to plunder for three days! "
Following the Lich King's order, the roars of the underground monsters resounded throughout the battlefield, and the entire Dark Coalition army immediately moved out.
Unlike the previous sieges, which took turns to attack the city, this time, the tens of thousands of troops surrounding Itcazar turned out in full force and launched a general attack.
The first to launch the attack was still the Goblins.
Driven by the undead, they waved their crude weapons and carried the ladders that had been made before, howling as they charged towards the city walls.
Behind them was an army of 50,000 fully-armed and well-equipped Undead Creatures. They lined up neatly behind the Undead Creatures.
The earth trembled, and the evil and cold power formed by the gathering of the fallen Undead turned into endless smoke that shrouded the air …
As the smoke continued to spread, the corpses on the battlefield that had been purified by the Death Priests once again stood up under the influence of some strange power and joined the Undead Army.
In an instant, the already massive Undead Army grew even stronger!
The Goblins, monsters, and magical beasts that had died in the previous attacks transformed into fallen Undead and gained greater power as they joined the sea of Undead.
Feeling the terrifying aura, the guards on the city walls turned pale.
Their already low morale was shaken once again.
The vanguard of the Dark Coalition quickly arrived at the city walls.
Under the encouragement of the Lich King, their morale was high, and even the Undead Army became more ferocious. They did not need to plunder, but they had a strong desire to devour the souls of living creatures …
After suffering several attacks, the guards of the Sacred City of Death were already exhausted.
Their resistance was like an egg that had hit a rock. After roaring and killing a few Goblins that besieged them, they were quickly overwhelmed by more and more monsters and Undead …
The ant-like Dark Coalition army surged to the city walls like a tide. They set up ladders and climbed up the city walls, engaging in a one-sided battle with the remnants of the Dark Coalition army.
Witnessing this scene, the chief of the city of Itcazar turned pale on the city wall.
He looked at Temple Master Neil, who was standing beside him and controlling the city's underground defense core remotely while praying with his eyes closed. He said anxiously, "Don't worry.
He said anxiously, "Lord Neil! The Dark Coalition has launched their final attack. Even with the reinforcements from other City-States, we only have less than 5,000 warriors left! Lord Neil, if we don't have reinforcements, we won't be able to hold on! "
Grand Shrine Elder Neil didn't panic at all.
He slowly opened his pure eyes, and his clear gaze crossed the battlefield and met the eyes of Lich King Pelone, who was in the Dark Coalition army.
Seeing the gaze from the city walls, the eyes of the Lich King under the Devil mask flickered.
He gently raised his right hand and made a thumbs-down gesture.
Grand Shrine Elder Neil was indifferent to the Lich King's provocation.
His gaze passed by Pelone and his Dark Coalition army before finally stopping at a distant place …
"Our reinforcements have arrived."
He said warmly.
Upon hearing the Grand Shrine Elder's words, the Chief of the Sacred City followed his gaze.
At the southeastern border, a cloud of rising smoke suddenly appeared … …
A strange cavalry made up of Elves and Crypt Spiders appeared in his vision.
