Chapter 18 Tripartite Alliance

In the dark underground, Black Onyx City is a very different existence. Other underground cities are basically owned by a certain race. For example, gray dwarf cities must be ruled by gray dwarves, and dark elf cities are always dominated by dark elves.

, the cities of the Mind Flayers are all slaves except for the Mind Flayers. It can be said that in the Underdark Region, each city can basically be equated to the gathering place of an ethnic group.

But Black Onyx City is different. It is jointly ruled by three races, and what’s more interesting is that these three races all come from the surface. They are the tiefling race, the half-vampire race and the snake tribe. Their origins are different.

The same, but the end is the same, that is, they were all expelled from the surface for some reason, and they ran to the underdark to take refuge because they could no longer survive.

But it is a pity that the underground races in the underdark area did not open their arms to warmly welcome these guests. On the contrary, the entry of these surface groups caused great resentment by the underground races. In the first few years, they encountered

The mind flayers, dark elves and gray dwarves have repeatedly attacked. If the underground races didn't dislike each other and didn't have a unified alliance, I'm afraid these poor people from the surface would be doomed.

However, those who were able to escape here were not just ordinary people. Seeing that things were not going well, the three parties finally united and formed an alliance, and built a city based on it, which was the Black Onyx City.

Today, the power of Black Onyx City has become very powerful. Since they have defeated the attacks of underground races several times, their prestige has gradually been established. After understanding the rules of the underground, Black Onyx City has shown fierce goodwill.

They have a tendency to fight, no matter what kind of attack they encounter, they will pounce on it like a mad dog and bite it.

This is a pretty smart idea. After all, the underground races are all dissatisfied with each other. If any party is bitten by Black Onyx Stone City's counterattack, causing the other two parties to reap the benefits, it would be a joke.

Already.

Under this delicate balance, Black Onyx City gradually developed.

But now, they are facing new troubles.

"Another caravan did not arrive at Black Onyx City on time. This is already the fifth caravan."

Diwo Dudensheng threw down the record in his hand, and stared fiercely at the conference hall in front of him with his golden, lizard-like eyes, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour. Two long sharp horns accompanied Taif

Lin Ren's movements made a roaring sound in the air, as if to represent his anger.

"How long do we have to wait?! Everyone! Are we going to let ourselves starve to death?"

"Don't be so nervous, Devo, the more serious the situation is, the more cautious we must act."

Unlike the angry tieflings, Elitte was still sitting calmly on the chair with an elegant smile, holding a glass of bright red wine in his hand and shaking it, like a master of wine tasting. But although he spoke very

Relaxed, but those bright red eyes were staring straight at the black shadow on the other side.

"Let me hear what our snake friend has to say. The patrol should have returned by now, right?"

"certainly."

Opposite the half-vampire, a snake man nodded. His upper body was no different from a strong human being, but below the waist he was completely in the shape of a thick and huge python. In addition, the white scales covering his whole body were also

It makes him look extremely conspicuous - not to mention that shiny bald head.

"According to reports from the patrol, they have discovered the remaining traces of those caravans. At least from now on, these caravans seem to have been attacked by bandits."

"Bandit?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other two people suddenly became wonderful.

"Yes, all the underground lizards transporting the goods have disappeared, and basically everyone including the guards have been killed. Although the specific number of people is unclear, it seems that the other party did not leave any survivors alive. And according to the traces, those underground

The lizards were driven away."

After saying this, Lars glanced at the expressions of the other two people.

"Not only that, the patrol also found traces of magic at the scene. Judging from the situation, these caravans were attacked by magic while camping and were killed due to confusion. But it is a pity.

Yes, because the corpses have all been bitten by underground beasts, it was impossible to confirm how they were killed for a while."

"Is it the dark elf?"

Divo scratched his sharp corners, frowned and raised his own question. It was not unreasonable for him to say so. The mind flayers are controlled by the mind. If they did this, then those caravans would not be able to do it at all.

There is no need to resist, as one encounter will turn him into the mind flayer's most loyal slave.

Although the gray dwarves are brave, it is well known that their anti-magic physique is the biggest obstacle for these gray dwarves to learn magic. As a result, the only ones who have enmity with them and can use magic are the group of black-skinned elves. But...

…………

"There is no dark elf city near us, and the underground caravans are well-protected. It is impossible for a few dark elves to kill them all. And according to the character of those black skins, they will not commit any crime.

The risk is more to mobilize their slave cannon fodder. But......"

Having said this, Devoo looked at the half-vampire beside him, and when he noticed Devoo's gaze, Ilett shook his head.

"We have not received any information recently about the large-scale mobilization of slaves by the Dark Elf family."

This is interesting. It wasn't the mind flayers, nor the gray dwarves. The dark elves didn't have enough motivation or reason to do such a thankless thing, so who did it?

"No matter who did it, we have to teach them a lesson!!"

The other two people also agreed with Divo's words. Although they don't know who did it, this approach has obviously weakened the power of Black Onyx City. If the caravan does not come to trade with them, then the power of Black Onyx City

Survival is very problematic. Once they decline, the mind flayers, gray dwarves and dark elves will definitely take advantage of the situation again. By then, it will be a life-or-death crisis for Black Onyx City.

"We have explored the source of the traces, and it is not too far away from us."

At this moment, Snake Man Lars also waved his arms and spoke with cold eyes.

"I suggest that we should organize a team of elite soldiers to find those bastards who dare to attack the caravan and teach them a lesson! Let them know that our Black Onyx City is not someone to be trifled with!!"

After Lars finished speaking, the conference room immediately fell into a strange silence. None of the people here are ordinary people. These leaders who led their tribes to escape from the siege on the surface and come to live underground are not fools. They are very

Be clear about the consequences of doing so. You must know that none of the caravans that can travel in the dark area are fuel-efficient lamps. It is much more dangerous than the surface. Except for those underground cities, caravans most of the time walk in

In the deserted tunnels, you may encounter terrifying beasts at any time.

Because of this, the underground caravans have always been tightly guarded, and their elite level is no less than an army. But in this case, five caravans were destroyed in a row. You can imagine how strong the opponent is.

You know. Because of this, Black Onyx City cannot just send out a few patrol teams to look for trouble.

Only by condensing the most powerful force and delivering a fatal blow can the best effect be achieved. This is also a good thing for Black Onyx City, because if successful, it will be tantamount to officially announcing the influence and influence of Black Onyx City in the North.

The control power is unmatched by other weak underground cities.

But on the other hand, this also has a dangerous side.

If the opponent's power exceeds expectations, it would be good to be able to escape. If the entire army is annihilated, it will be a serious loss for Black Onyx City. They have only settled here for a few decades. In terms of accumulation of strength, they have originally

It is not as deep as those races in the dark underground. If it loses its most elite members, it will only be a matter of time before Black Onyx City is slaughtered.

But even so, they still had to do it, and five caravans were attacked. If Black Onyx City does not make any further gestures to solve this problem, I am afraid that no caravans will ever trade with Black Onyx City in the future.

, and in that case, their fate has also been determined.

"Boom!!"

The tiefling slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth, remained silent for a moment, and then made a decision.

"According to what Lars said, this time, we must teach those bastards an unforgettable lesson! Let them know how powerful our Black Onyx City is! If we don't make any show this time, our city will be destroyed in the future.

You have become the biggest laughing stock in the North! This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen!"

"Then, it's decided."

After drinking the wine in the glass, Elitte slowly stood up. Although his expression was still so indifferent, everyone who was familiar with this half-vampire knew very well that once he made this action, he had already made a move.

It was an unchangeable choice. Even so, what Elitte said at the next moment was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Just in case, I will send Li to go with me."

"What?"

Hearing this, Devo and Lars couldn't help but widen their eyes and looked at the half-vampire in front of them in disbelief. Although they were indeed ready to make huge sacrifices, they didn't expect that Ilett would actually propose this candidate.
