This is......

mercenary?

Damn it~

How come so many NPC mercenaries suddenly appeared in the crowd of the Desolate Bone Society?

The key is that the formation is too neat and uniform. You can tell from the appearance that it is a regular army. It is not at all a collection of small batches of undead mercenaries hired by players~

If they were an undead force cobbled together, their equipment must be of various kinds. However, right now...their general appearance and complete and neat armaments prove that the origins of these undead are unknown.

....I'm afraid there is a hidden secret behind the whole thing!

"Report to the superior lord immediately!"

After receiving the information feedback from the other party, Xue Lan immediately asked the Dark Lord to report the news and save lives, but...

"No, Sister Xuelan, at this point, if those NPCs don't accept guests, we're afraid we won't be able to see anyone if we go there, otherwise we'll have to wait until dawn..."

"Waiting for dawn?

Ha~

Do you think the other party will give us this opportunity?

They dare to act in a big way tonight. They must have already determined that we won't have enough backup~

But this time...

Haha~

I would rather disappoint them..."

Following the undead mercenaries, there are also many vampire creatures in the enemy's army that have transformed into the sky!

If you were still feeling lucky after seeing so many undead mercenaries, then after seeing so many vampires, all the hidden scouts secretly arranged around you couldn't help but become even more silent!

This time... what is the enemy's purpose in invading the Plague Alliance's forces?

At the same time, what kind of "identity" does the Skull Crusher Group have to mix with each other?

All this seems to be intertwined into a web of conspiracy, gradually covering the entire Dark City...

As the situation reaches a stalemate, more surprising and unexpected situations keep happening one after another!

All the famous bandit groups, large and small, that traverse the Great Basin of Fostel have all gathered together inexplicably!

Gathered into the team of the Desolate Bone Society on the opposite side...

Seeing more and more bandit organizations gathering around, an extremely nervous mood spread throughout the entire Dark City!

It seems like dark clouds are pressing down on the city, it seems like the city is about to be destroyed, it seems like Mount Tai is about to collapse~

They didn't understand what was happening in front of them, why these bandits gathered together so inexplicably, and why they found them in Dark City.

Is it really because of spying on their territory?

When the situation has evolved into players and numerous bandit organizations collaborating to kill each other, even an idiot will not think that things are as simple as they appear...

But what should we do?

This is the question that everyone wants to know the answer to right now!

The situation suddenly turned into the worst situation in just half an hour. Even with a three-level city wall protection, the firepower support of three powerful turrets, and many war machines guarding the city. But for this

Everyone has become confused and unsure of whether they can win this battle.

Is this battle... just like what everyone joked about before? Is it just a venting act of suicide by the enemy?

Before the fight started, countless people laughed and said that the people of the Desolate Bone Society were simply crazy because they were worried about the subsequent retaliation from the Plague Alliance due to the previous "war of spirits".

I’ll give it a try when I’m not here~

However, looking at the current situation, it seems that the one who wins has suddenly become the side of Dark City. The one who wins is whether they can hold on to the powerful territory they have worked so hard to slowly build up...

Just when everyone was surprised and uncertain, and the atmosphere in the city became increasingly depressed and silent, the teleportation array in the center suddenly shone with brilliance~

It's Xuelan!

Xuelan is coming!

And...he actually brought an army with him!!!

The teleportation array at this moment is like a monster with a huge appetite, constantly spitting out the neatly arranged army of dwarves!

These short warriors, who were neatly dressed in heavy armor, holding warhammers, and hanging axes on their waists, were like heavily armored iron monsters. They walked out of the teleportation array in neat steps. In a short time, almost half of the people were packed with them.

A dark city!

Gulu~

Countless Dark City players who saw this scene swallowed hard subconsciously, almost thinking that they were hallucinating...

"Ah~

Miss Xuelan?

Are you finally here?

This...you are..."

Looking at the dense crowd of thousands of dwarf warriors behind Xuelan's blanket, even though the Dark Duke had already expected it, he couldn't help but sigh heavily~

This flowing cloud, this city of plague, this terrifying uncrowned king... is really so powerful that it makes people feel desperate...

As one of Liu Yifei's important allies at the moment, the Dark Lord is naturally aware that Liu Yifei has a strange multi-racial fighting force.

Even when the town of Puni was upgraded to a first-level city, he and many other allies enjoyed the extremely relaxed city defense battle led by Liu Yifei~

And in that battle...these dwarves were not as numerous as before!

In the past, Liu Yifei would only bring a thousand dwarf warriors at most once, but before...didn't he already bring a large number of them to the Xeris Fortress to support the border battle?

Why are there such a large group of people here again?

The matter about village chief George old gathering a large number of scattered dwarf tribes around the Sighing Mountains is naturally one of the secrets that need to be kept strictly confidential in Plague City!

Although dwarves often appear in twos and threes on the streets of Plague City, and sometimes some dwarf NPCs will even get drunk in the tavern and brag to passing players, but how many such dwarf warriors does Liu Yifei have? So far,

Still no one can tell an accurate number~

Xue Lan naturally knew this number.

There is a huge "free market" foundation composed of more than 40,000 dwarves. Among the dwarves, both men and women have a very powerful basic strength that is comparable to the first-order soldiers and spearmen of the human race. As long as they are combined with appropriate combat

Armor weapon, the entire dwarf tribe can recruit at least more than 70% of the effective combat units in an instant!

The group in front of us only numbered six thousand, and they were a real dwarf army composed of the most elite warriors from each dwarf tribe~

Their strength is not weak to begin with, but the difficult life and various high-intensity battles in the Sighing Mountains have made their levels reach the minimum level eighty or above!

Most importantly, as a semi-free NPC dwarf tribe, it is difficult to determine how to calculate their current rank. But Liu Yifei tried.

With the same weapons, these dwarf warriors can easily challenge a third-order and first-grade undead of the same level. However, if they are singled out, even if they face a fourth-order and first-grade vampire of the same level, they will have thick defenses.

The dwarves, who are like heavily armored turtles, can knock out the teeth of every vampire...

The strength of these free people dwarves is difficult to calculate, considering that they do not have magic skills after all. In the end, Liu Yifei defaulted to them as a fourth-level combat unit!

And the appearance of a fourth-order and first-class melee force with a number of up to 6,000...especially when it appears on the defensive side of a city defense battle with sufficient long-range firepower, is enough to change the outcome of a battle...

...

"No need to worry, Mr. Dark Duke~

For Liu Yun’s most loyal and important ally, even if Liu Yun is not here, we in Plague City will do our best to support our allies and defend the rights that you deserve~

This is our vanguard support force. With them here, I think they should be able to give Mr. Dark Archduke a lot of confidence, right?

Of course, if necessary, follow-up troops can also arrive quickly~

But on the basis of ensuring that just in case, I don’t think we need to unduly increase the burden on the teleportation array, right?

After all, there is a price for using the teleportation array. I think we should try to save some unnecessary expenses. Even if it is given to the players under our command as a benefit, it is better than wasting it in vain~"

Xue Lan nodded politely and said calmly to the Dark Duke who was smiling apologetically.

The Duke of Darkness actually doesn't care about the cost of purchasing gem crystals to maintain the teleportation array. He has invested a lot of money in the game anyway, so he doesn't care about the extra money. But since Xue Lan said so, he naturally agreed.

It should be accompanied by a smile.

After initially settling the garrison positions of the dwarf warriors, Xue Lan unexpectedly wanted to go to the front line to explore in person...

And unlike the previous tentative contact, this time she was ready to test how strong the enemy was~

After all, the information coming back from the front line is nothing but repeated reminders of which bandits have joined the opponent's team. It is not even known how many spiritual-level combatants are hidden in the opponent's team~

And to say that this group of bandits numbering tens of thousands of people doesn’t even have a single spirit-level combatant is something Xue Lan wouldn’t believe~

Xue Lan suddenly suggested risking his life, which frightened the Dark Lord so much that he almost thought that this "flower vase woman" wanted to show that he was crazy~

It's like trying to persuade him subconsciously.

However, before the Dark Duke could say a few more words, Xue Lan, who was aware of the Dark Duke's intentions, just nodded slightly and smiled, apologizing, and then summoned his Manticore mount to soar into the sky~
To be continued...
