Kadek has been in a very depressed mood recently, very, very depressed.

There is naturally only one reason - according to the information he received from Black Onyx City, Black Onyx City seems to be gathering an army to launch an attack on Brandon Stone City.

Knowing this news made Kardek feel bad. As for why Black Onyx City came to trouble him, Kardek was not very clear about it, but this was not out of his mind.

Unexpected. In the Underdark, there is sometimes no need for a reason at all for one force to launch an attack on another. Even if there is no reason, creating a reason is equally effective.

What's more, Brandon Stone City is not innocent. When Black Onyx City was established, Brandon Stone City also sent troops to join the coalition to fight against those who fled from the surface. And it can be said that it was the gray dwarves who actively instigated the establishment.

The tripartite alliance - after all, the location of Black Onyx City is closest to Brandon Stone City. Once completed, the impact on Brandon Stone City will definitely be much greater than that of Menzobreit and the Overmind City, which are thousands of miles away.

But it is a pity that the coalition failed in the end, which gave Black Onyx City a chance to breathe and allowed them to successfully build the city. Since then, Cardek has been on guard, fearing that Black Onyx City would come to trouble him. Although the other party should

I don’t know that the gray dwarves instigated the previous battle, but who can say for sure? If the dark elves suddenly get crazy and want to sell their teammates to Black Onyx City, isn’t that a matter of course?

"What do you think we should do? Are those bastards on the surface coming for us? Or is this just a cover-up?"

Sitting in the Governing Council Hall, Kadek was anxious in his heart, but he still looked very calm and calm on his face. There is still a long way from Black Onyx Stone City to Brandon Stone City, and gray dwarves are experts in underground architecture. Black Onyx

It is simply impossible for the guys from Stone City to get here through Brandon Stone City's defense without paying any price. So in a short period of time, Kardek was quite calm.

"Did those guys know the truth and come to take revenge?"

"It's impossible... It's been so long. Besides, this isn't the rule of the Underdark..."

A councilor replied rather disapprovingly, in the Dark Territory, it is common for you to kill me and I to kill you. Every force and every city has a blood feud with each other for at least a hundred years. If it is really like this,

Calculating it, I am afraid that all the forces in the Underdark will kill each other until no one is left.

"Who knows what those surface bastards think?"

Another councilor had a different view on this. There is a natural hatred between the Underdark and the surface, and each looks down on the other. Although Black Onyx City has been in the Underdark for some years, for underground races like gray dwarves,

The residents of Black Onyx City are still representatives of the surface. They and each other are like nobles and untouchables, and it is impossible to have any common language.

For a moment, the hall became noisy like a swarm of bees. The gray dwarves expressed different opinions on this matter to each other. Some thought that Black Onyx Stone City was here to seek revenge and cause trouble, while others thought that there must be another mystery behind it.

, and some don’t care at all. Anyway, no matter what the other party’s purpose is, if they come with bad intentions, just fight them back.

"Everyone, be quiet! Be quiet!!! I have something to say!!!"

Suddenly, at this moment, a gray dwarf jumped on the table and shouted loudly. This was a move that gray dwarves would only do when there was something particularly important. Seeing the gray dwarf jumping on the table, the others

He also stopped talking and looked at the other person with curious eyes.

"What do you have to say, Tog?"

Looking at Tog, Kardek frowned. Speaking of which, he originally thought that Tog would definitely escape death this time. But he didn't expect that this guy with a forehead as hard as a hammer actually completed the task and helped the man.

The necromancer destroyed the goblin lair. This made Kardek extremely depressed. He originally planned to use this to keep this fool away from him. Unexpectedly, Tog used this battle to reestablish his position in Brandon.

status in Stone City. Naturally, it was not easy for Khadek to drive Toge away in full view of the public, so he had to let him return to his original post. Fortunately, Toge became much quieter after that.

Make trouble for yourself again.

But which song is this guy singing now?

Hearing Kadek's inquiry, Toge glanced at him and did not salute. However, everyone also knew that the guard captain and the consul were not at odds with each other, and they did not care much about it. Toge turned his head,

He just looked at everyone and then spoke.

"I think everyone has not forgotten that I went to clean up the goblin lair with the Necromancer before, and then encountered something human."

Hearing this, the gray dwarf councilors present, including Kardek, nodded. The appearance of humans in the Underdark was a big deal, and they appeared so close to Brandon Stone City and launched another attack on the gray dwarf troops.

Attack. This has also been Brandon Stone City's top priority during this period. If Black Onyx City hadn't suddenly mobilized the army, I'm afraid everyone wouldn't have put this matter down... Wait!!

"Could it be said that those guys in Black Onyx City are related to humans?!!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire council hall suddenly became noisy like a pot of boiling water. There were screams, curses, and shouts. Many gray dwarves flushed with anger.

, jumped up with fists waving, and shouted angrily that he wanted to cut the bastards in Black Onyx City into pieces. Soon, the meeting once again fell into the chaos unique to gray dwarves.

This time, Kadek did not stop the commotion. On the contrary, he also fell into deep thought. The appearance of humans is certain. In addition to Tog's report, Brandon Stone City's spies have recently discovered humans in the surrounding area.

Traces of this. This is a very strange thing in the first place, but if these humans are connected with the Black Onyx Stone City, then it can be said to be justified.

From this point of view, maybe the Black Onyx Stone City was originally sent by the surface humans to build a city here... Could it be that they plan to launch an attack on the Dark Region? Is their own Brandon Stone City the first target?

Thinking of this, Kadek felt his headache getting worse. He stretched out his hand to hold his forehead and thought hard.

Because of this, Kardek did not notice that Toge was no longer visible in the boiling parliament hall.

"I've done what you said."

At this moment, in the corridor outside the parliament hall, Tog stood in the shadow of the corner with a gloomy expression, looking at the dark elf in front of him.

"Can this really make that guy Kardek suffer? Isn't it just a word..."

"Sometimes, words are more useful than swords. If you want to become a consul, don't forget this."

Hearing Tog's question, Verna snorted lightly, and then very quickly, her figure quickly disappeared into the shadows and disappeared.

"Then, just do what you should do next. Remember, don't worry about things you shouldn't..."

Seeing the disappearing figure of the dark elf, Togg's expression changed several times, and finally he stamped his feet and turned around to leave.

"The matter with the gray dwarves has been finished."

Returning to the Blackstone Watchtower, looking at Zhan in front of him, Verna answered with a straight face. And hearing Verna's answer, Zhan nodded. Through the system detection of the dungeon, he found out about Brandon Stone City

The current situation is still very clear. Of course, the dungeon system does not have any mind-reading ability. However, it can collect some public information for Zhan to observe, such as [Recently, the residents of Brandon Stone City are worried about the emergence of humans, and the atmosphere

You can know the situation in the city at a glance.

Verna has some understanding of Zhan's thoughts. The dark elves are best at this insidious method, using vague information to arouse hostility and vigilance on both sides, and provoke a fight between the two families. And once

The two sides have officially come to grips with each other, so even if they know something is wrong, they still have to take action. From this point of view, Zhan's level of conspiracy is considered to be one of the few even among the matrons of the dark elves. Moreover, he is extremely courageous.

He dared to make any bets. Sometimes even Verna was secretly surprised and found it difficult to understand Zhan's actions. Although the dark elves are insidious and cunning, they would never dare to act rashly without being very sure. But Zhan

It's like a gambler in a casino who can't wait to place a big bet even if he only has a few chips in his hand.

Just like this time, he wants to throw Black Onyx City, Brandon Stone City and humans into the muddy water. But with Zhan's little strength, once he is discovered, he will definitely be doomed.

The ending. However, Zhan played this dangerous tightrope game endlessly and was not aware of the danger at all, which really surprised Verna.

"So what are you going to do next?"

Seeing Zhan's leisurely and relaxed expression, Verna frowned and asked. But upon hearing her question, Zhan glanced at the dark elf, then reached out and raised his glasses.

"It's disrespectful to come back without reciprocating. Since those humans have come to cause trouble for us, it's just time for us to let them know how powerful the Underdark Region is..."

Although she had expected it, Verna was still surprised to hear Zhan's answer.

He really wants to play a big game!
