Chapter 209 The Dark Elf's Little Temper
The city on the ground needs city walls because people live in basically flat places. In these well-connected places, if enemies or beasts invade, it will be difficult to protect themselves without city wall defense. Of course, with the advancement of weapons and the changes in human status in nature in modern society, city walls have lost their function. However, in the original state, city walls are still a very useful defensive facility.
However, although the defense effect of the city wall is very obvious, it is only limited to the situation on the ground. The residential points of the underground world are caves, and these caves themselves are relatively closed environments, with only some underground passages connected to each other. In theory, as long as these passages are blocked, the defense effect should be strangely better than the city wall. However, this Dark Elf Capital is a strange thing. It actually built a city with a wall in an underground cave. Is this a waste of time?
Sussis was not surprised at all when she heard Klis Dena’s problem, but explained casually: “Do you know where we dark elves lived before?”
Kris Dena is not a fool, and she is a profession of the law. Compared with warriors and players of the profession of the law need to know more about the game background knowledge. Kris Dena immediately guessed the reason when she heard Sussis’s rhetoric.
It is true that dark elves do have a feeling of being a waste of time to build city walls in the underground world, but this behavior is unreasonable. Dark elves are not creatures in the underground world in nature. They are actually the same race as the white elves. They both have common ancestors. They both live on the ground. Even now, many of the dark elves live on the ground, but in comparison, there are a little more dark elves living in the underground world.
Because dark elves are originally ground creatures, even if they move to the ground, they still maintain many habits on the ground. For example, dark elves still arrange their work and rest according to the changes in day and night, which is invisible to purely breed underground creatures. After all, there is no difference between day and night in the underground world. For creatures in the underground world, day and night are the same, so they do not need to distinguish day and night. Dark elves only bring habits on the ground to the ground, so they distinguish day and night issues.
Building a city wall is also a habit problem for dark elves. Unlike most white elves cities, dark elves' cities are not plant cities based on the tree of life, but stone buildings closer to humans. Therefore, dark elves like to build city walls very much, so they did not give up on this habit when they arrived underground.
In fact, building a city wall in the underground world cannot be said to be completely useless, it is just a bit unprofitable. We have noticed it before on the way Sussis led us here. The dark elves have actually set up levels in various passages, which means that the dark elves actually thought of using the passage to guard it. The city wall is more of a psychological comfort for the dark elves. In case of the first level failure, there is a city wall that can re-form a defensive front, which is better than the state of being completely unprepared after the passage is broken. However, this probability is very low. So overall, there are many reasons for the construction of the city wall.
Dark elves are a relatively powerful force in the underground world. As the capital of Dark elves, this place is naturally very prosperous. As we gradually approach the edge of the city, there are more and more creatures of various races on the surrounding roads.
"Zero" is a fantasy game. Apart from humans, there are many kinds of intelligent creatures, but even though we have seen the mixed situation of various races in the ground city, we are still shocked by the situation of underground cities. Compared with ground cities, the creatures in this underground city are not only more diverse, but also have very personality. It is not too much to describe it as a group of demons dancing on this street. Most of the terrifying underground races have no body hair, and they have scales or stratum corneum on the surface. The most disgusting thing is that there are many directly wrinkles and sarcomas on the body. For this strange race, even I sometimes feel like I can't bear to look at them.
Although Kris Dena is not a very delicate girl, she is not a carefree type. Basically, her aesthetic view is still a relatively normal type. So the underground races in front of her made her very uncomfortable, especially after arriving near the city gate.
Although it was not flat in the underground cave before, there were at least many roads to walk on, but when the crowds began to gather at the gate of the city, the dark elves had only a semi-arched wall. The main part of the city was shrunk in a concave surface without any external passages. Therefore, the outside wall actually only surrounded less than half of the city's direction, and the rest were natural protection made up of natural caves.
Because the city wall is not very long, there are naturally fewer gates. There are only three gates in total. If you want to enter the city, you can only gather at these three gates, so the roads will become more and more crowded. It was a little better outside, but as the roads gradually began to become more and more crowded, it would be inevitable that there would be a shoulder to shoulder. If you were in the ground city, it would be fine if you squeezed a little, but this is an underground city, which made Kris Dena and those creatures that were disgusting more than toads, so she could not stand it. In the end, there was no way, so she had to walk on the magic shield. Although the magic shield consumed magic power, she could barely hold on with her magic recovery speed, at least she would not have to touch those creatures.
Although I am a man and have a slightly higher endurance than Klis Dena, I have to say that the creatures here are so weird. There are still many creatures with mucus on them squeezing into the city. I can't stand this situation, but we have to go to the city this time, so even if it's uncomfortable, we have to endure it.
Sussis probably knew that we were not adapted to this environment, so she deliberately smiled and talked to us to distract herself. "Do you think there are too many people here? In fact, this is not the case in normal times. It is mainly because of the war with the white elves recently, and it is likely to continue. So the empire is hoarding materials to prepare for war. Most of these caravans came from outside, so there are so many people. Although our city is still prosperous, it is not as crowded as this level. Of course, with the aesthetic view of ground creatures, some of these underground creatures do look too disgusting, but on the other hand, with their aesthetic view, we are actually quite disgusting."
"We are disgusting?" Kris Dena was stunned for a moment, and then she understood. Indeed, every creature has its own aesthetic habits. When we see some creatures being disgusted, the other party may also think we are disgusting. Maybe you think sarcoma is a disgusting thing, but the other party thinks that what you are bare on your body is a very disgusting thing.
As Sussis interrupted, our attention gradually dispersed, so we quickly passed through the crowded section at the gate of the city. After entering the city, as the roads dispersed, the flow of people naturally became increasingly sparse, and our discomfort gradually recovered.
According to the previous contacts from the Dark Evaluation Council, the Dark Elf now knows the situation of the family that guides the battle between the two races. Moreover, the Dark Elf Empire is also very cautious, in order to prevent this from being framed by the Dark Evaluation Council. They also sent someone to investigate it secretly, and only agreed to the arrival of Kris Dena and me after confirming that the matter was true.
According to the results of the Dark Evaluation Council helping us communicate, Kris Dena and I are equivalent to supervising the White Elf’s supervisors this time. Our main job is to supervise the extermination of the Dark Elf family. After all, if this matter is to be calmed down, the family must be wiped out, and the White Elf is not worried that the Dark Elf will complete this matter independently. However, if the White Elf sends people to supervise, it will inevitably make the family alert. Therefore, our third party trusted by the White Elf has become the best observers.
Under Sussis' guidance, we quickly arrived at the rear of the city. There was actually a second city wall here. According to Sussis, behind this city wall is the real capital of the dark elves, and the outside should be considered places where dark elves with subordinate races and low status live.
Because we had already said hello in advance, we did not encounter any trouble when we arrived. There was already someone waiting for us at the gate of the inner city. As soon as we appeared, we were taken to a small square. As soon as we entered this square, I was shocked, because the square was already full of people, and at first glance, I was afraid that there would be more than a thousand. Moreover, these were all dark elves fighting personnel. In addition to a large number of swordsmen, there were crossbowmen and magicians in the middle. There was clearly a whole army above the square.
"This is……?"
"Aren't you going to deal with the Sisby family? These are the troops responsible for the execution," Sussis said.
Hearing this, I looked at Sussis in surprise and asked, "No? I haven't even met your king yet. Have the army been organized?"
"Of course, the faster this kind of thing, the better. After all, it is difficult to keep a secret for such a big thing. The faster we are, the lower the possibility of leaking the secret."
I nodded when I heard this. Although this is indeed a bit too fast, it makes sense to say this. Since they are even ready for the army, I naturally have no objection and can directly inform them to execute it.
After getting my consent, Sussis went to contact the person in charge here. The other party had already prepared, but in fact he was just waiting for me as an observer to arrive. Sussis and the other party had just communicated briefly and then started to act. Moreover, these people were obviously professional, and they were quick and did not say anything. As an observer, I naturally didn't have to go to the front line in person. As long as there was no accident in the battle, my task was just to follow and see. Of course, if something happened, I would still have to take action.
Of course, the target Sisby family could not all be gathered together to wait for someone to be killed. In fact, the people in this family are usually very busy, so the people in the clan are scattered in many different places. However, in order to make the action completely and effectively, the Dark Elf has already figured out the position and power distribution of the other party in advance. Therefore, our team began to act disperse after leaving the small square.
Originally, the Dark Elf was so efficient, and I thought the other party was very proud of his face, but when he left the square, he saw that the other party had divided into more than ten groups, he immediately frowned. The Dark Elf was obviously dissatisfied! This was doing something bad to us.
Actually, I can understand the mood of the dark elves. After all, because of this matter, I fought a war for no reason. And the losses were so heavy. In the end, I suddenly found that the root of the disaster was on my side. Anyone would feel uncomfortable if I changed them. So, although the dark elves agreed to destroy the family according to reason, they still couldn't swallow their breath, so I thought of such a way to trick us into making trouble, which is usually a small way to recover some face.
Although I understand the intention of the Dark Elf, I am not the one who is willing to be cheated. Besides, this time this time is for others. If this is our own business, we will take a step back. Anyway, we don’t suffer any losses. It’s good to give the other party some face benefits to ease the relationship. But now I am doing things for the White Elf, and I have said all the big talk before. If I lose the link halfway, wouldn’t I just slap my mouth?
Since you can't let someone cheat, you have to solve the problem in front of you. Seeing the troops suddenly divided into several teams, I began to summon the Gate of Earth, but I didn't expect that the commander-in-chief of the other party came first. As soon as this guy came over, he immediately began to apologize: "I'm so sorry. We received the news that the people of the Sisby family are now scattered in many different places. In order to ensure the integrity of the action, I can only divide the troops and act at the same time. I know you are an observer and need to follow the action. But we still have to take the first priority to destroy the Sisby family, so I can only let you down. But you can choose to follow any of the teams to supervise and complete this extermination plan."
Although this guy's words seem to be pretty good, his tone and expression are clearly like he deliberately cheats people, and if you listen carefully, you can find the mystery. Although this guy asked me to follow the team to observe, the entire team was scattered into more than a dozen teams of people running in different directions. There were only two people on our side, which means that even if we were separated, we could only follow two teams. According to this situation, if the other party really didn't mean it, at least we should tell us which two teams were
The team responsible for the main tasks is the right one. Even if the scattered Sisby family members are not involved, I will always follow the team that raids their family, right? But now the other party has not only not told me which team is going to deal with the Sisby family's nest, but even in order to prevent me from judging what to do based on the number of people in the team, they even equipped the number of people in the team roughly with the average number of people. In other words, the number of people assigned is almost the same, so the number of people alone cannot guess the other party's destination.
Now that I think the other party has already planned to cheat me like this, otherwise I wouldn't have gathered teams in advance to wait for us to come. They deliberately arranged their actions in advance and launched an attack immediately as soon as we arrived, with the purpose of not having time to conduct early investigations in the city. In this way, I can't decide which team to follow based on the specific location of the Sisby family.
These dark elves are really bad, and these guys are boring, you really won't notice them in ordinary people.
The commander-in-chief of the action must be a participant in this little trick, so he turned around and left after saying this. In order to prevent me from asking him which team is going to wherever he is. And I guess he must have planned it in his mind. Even if I ask him, he will pretend that he doesn't hear it and run away quickly.
Although this guy is boring, I don’t care at all. This trick is still okay for bullying newcomers, but it’s a little bit short of dealing with me.
I deliberately said to myself loudly, "Damn, why are there so many teams? Which side do you want me to go with?" Hearing me here, the guy in front couldn't help laughing, but unfortunately he didn't laugh yet, but I suddenly changed my mind and continued, "Fortunately, I have many people under my command, otherwise it would be really troublesome. Sgoth, let the Knights of the Reinyin separate, each of you brings two hundred Kirin warriors to the back of these teams. Remember that your task is supervision, and as long as the dark elf friends in front do not fail, you don't have to participate in the battle."
"I understand." The commander-in-chief of the dark elf in front began to turn around after hearing what I said, but when he turned around, he happened to see the scene where Sgott answered me. Then he saw a large number of soldiers gushing out from the Earth Gate beside Sgott and scattered out with the Knights in front of them and ran out separately.
The guy who was originally going to trick me was stunned when he saw this situation. What made him even more depressed was that my Kirin Warriors were all cavalry. Although most of the roads in the underground world were not suitable for horses, the Kirin Warriors' mounts were not horses. They were a kind of four-legged beast he had never seen before. Such creatures were obviously very powerful in athletic ability and could not be restricted by the terrain, so he was stunned immediately.
The original little thoughts have completely lost their effect at this moment, and they cannot blatantly tell us not to follow them. They can only rely on our insufficient staff to cause trouble for us. But now, not only are we very well-manned, but we also seem to be a bit scary.
In the guy's astonished eyes, Knight Lingyin led the Kirin Warriors to rush out one after another, and followed the teams to follow.
After the dispersed team dispersed, I did not move, but stretched out my left hand flat. Then a red flame suddenly appeared above my wrist, and the flame began to roll and the speed became faster and faster. Finally, when the flame that turned into a fireball began to slow down again and finally stopped, Xiaofeng's beautiful bird of paradise form appeared on my wrist.
Turning his head to look at Xiaofeng, I said softly, "Go up and help me stare." Then my wrist shook up, and Xiaofeng immediately soared into the air with my power. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a large cloud of fire that blocked the entire city, causing a commotion in the city below.
After I got all this, I walked around and caught up with the commander who was still in a daze. Then I said, "Okay, I have the Sky Eye that monitors the whole city now. You guys should act quickly, I will watch you perform the mission here."
Although my teeth were so angry that I was itchy, I could only swallow my teeth even if I lost my teeth. The other party had no choice but to grit my teeth and snorted, then turned around and chased one of the teams and left the scene.
Sussis saw my actions. Although she didn't know about this beforehand, she was not blind and not stupid, so she naturally saw the other party's plan. Although she was a dark elf, Sussis had no sense of belonging to the dark elf empire. She naturally watched as an outsider for this matter. Until now, she came over and joked and joked with me, "Are you really a master who refuses to suffer losses?"
"It depends on the situation whether you suffer losses or not. I will suffer losses."
"Then what you mean is that you shouldn't eat this time?"
I nodded and said, "The key is more troublesome to you. Anyway, I can't suffer any losses this time, so I will not give in at all. Oh, by the way, I don't have to follow them to see the execution process now. Do you have time to take us around the city?"
Generally speaking, the system cities in the game will have more or less specialties, so when you arrive in a city, you should first go to various trading venues in the city. Moreover, according to the consistent setting of the system, it seems that the more the city the players cannot reach. The value of the specialties there is, the higher the value, so I have now developed the habit that as long as it is a new city that is not marked on the guild map, you will definitely go to the trading market after you arrive.
When Sussis left the Dark Council, Speaker Sith gave her the order to take care of us and obey our orders. So he agreed immediately without any hesitation at this simple request. As for my mission, Xiaofeng was staring at the city, and there were also Knights of Ringyin and so many Kirin warriors, and nothing could escape from my eyes.
After confirming that I was going shopping, Sussis began to take me out of the inner city. Although this inner field is the nest of the dark elves, it belongs to the place where the ruling class lives. There is no commercial activity in this place. Real commercial activities are carried out in the outer city, and even high-end luxury goods are absolutely impossible to sell in the inner city. After all, according to the rulers' view, it is impossible for high-level dark elves to do business, and the businessmen can only be ordinary dark elves or foreign races. Putting such a group in the inner city should obviously be considered a safety hazard, so it is more reassuring to put it in the outer city.
Although this business is outside the inner city, according to general business rules, the consumption capacity of rich people is obviously higher than that of poor people. Therefore, although this commercial area cannot set up shops in the inner city, they are all closely attached to the inner city walls. So we immediately saw a row of shops as soon as we left the inner city, and it was in a state of crowds. It was obvious that the business was quite developed.
Chapter completed!
