A hidden force secretly left the Black Crow Castle under the bloody moonlight.

They traveled all the way west, not only avoiding the cities and villages where the Cole elves were located, but also avoiding the thugs who were raiding and looting everywhere.

Looking at the desolate ruins in the distance, Sera's eyes were full of calmness and indifference.

Thela didn't take the grudges between the surface elves and the drow too seriously.

She is just wary of the Cole Elf Kingdom, especially after getting to know them better.

Cole Elf's performance is not weak, it can even be called outstanding.

Although Cole elves towns and villages are destroyed every day, they have shown outstanding fighting ability and resistance spirit.

Even in the face of the ferocious gray dwarves and drow armies, he still showed no flinch.

You know, the coalition of raiders organized by the gray dwarves and the drow is one of the most outstanding combat forces in the underground world.

Maybe there are many unknown and terrifying existences in the vast and deep darkness.

But for now, the combination of gray dwarves and drow is enough to pose a huge threat to a kingdom and power.

There are nearly 400,000 troops, and it has been almost a month now, but they have not captured all the Cole Elf cities in this area.

This is enough to explain a lot of problems.

Woji, who was accompanying him, had obviously thought of this. He was very grateful for the cooperation with the Gulf Territory, and at the same time wanted to see the true strength of the Cole Elf Kingdom.

Of course, before that, they need to rush to the depths of the Canterlot Mountains as quickly as possible, where they plan to build the gray dwarf castle and base.

They move very fast and can always bypass the gathering area of ​​Cole elves and advance sneakily.

Behind them, more than 500,000 Cole Elf troops have surrounded Black Crow Castle and the surrounding cities again.

Unfortunately, they arrived a little late. Hundreds of raiders, numbering in the thousands, had already broken out of the encirclement they had arranged and were wreaking havoc elsewhere.

After the Cole elf army defeated a gray dwarf team in a nearly crushing manner.

The gray dwarf team, which was originally united, soon began to wander independently.

The Cole Elf army is preparing to gradually narrow the encirclement.

An elite force of more than 50,000 people was dispatched to march directly to Black Crow Castle. They were preparing to retake the fortress that controlled the passage.

It's a pity that they underestimated their opponents.

The walls of Black Crow Castle have been further strengthened and transformed, making them not only very high, but also thicker.

A towering arrow tower stands every 50 meters, densely covered with hundreds of shooting ports.

More than 30,000 gray dwarf elite warriors are stationed in this increasingly ferocious and fortified city.

What makes the Cole elf commander feel aggrieved is that the Mystic Chain, which originally belonged to the city and was one of the strongest defensive forces, has become the amulet of the gray dwarf combat troops.

This also means that one of the strongest killing moves of the Cole Elf is the Elf Spellcaster.

There is no use for it.

It is impossible for elven spellcasters to withstand the interference and influence caused by fascination and join ordinary combat teams.

In this way, the difficulty of taking over the Black Crow Castle will be greatly increased.

Matthew looked at the Cole Elf army coming from afar, noticed the probing gaze of the second prince Kreize next to him, turned around with a smile and said:

"The longer we hold on here, the greater the chaos others will create."

Even though he said that, the second prince Kraize has never been a selfless and selfless character.

Seeing other people eating meat, but I can only get beaten, I feel a little uncomfortable!

After a moment of hesitation in his heart, the second prince Kreize could not help but continue:

"If we suffer heavy losses and lose Black Crow Castle, it may lead to the failure of the entire plan."

If I lose this battle, your Gulf Territory will be in vain.

Matthew naturally understood what the second prince Kreiser meant, smiled slightly and comforted him and said:

"As long as we can win this battle, they will see the weakness of the Cole Elf army, and then they can rest easy."

Nodding somewhat suspiciously, the second prince Kreize was about to step up the arrangements for city defense operations.

From time to time, he looked at the Gulf leader hiding in his cloak with surprised eyes.

I saw them clearly issuing various orders, carrying various materials to the city wall, arranging various defensive weapons, and completing the defensive arrangement against the Cole Elf army as quickly as possible.

This was the first time that the second prince Kreize discovered that these gray dwarf warriors under his command could actually be so obedient and obey orders.

The reason is simple. In more than a month, these gray dwarf warriors have been convinced by the latter's "fist".

Of course, I want to make these gray dwarf warriors who are accustomed to being undisciplined and ferocious to obey orders instead of rising up to resist.

After beating them with a stick, it is natural to give them a sweet date.

The ample food provided to them by the Gulf Territory is an unprecedented enjoyment for these gray dwarf warriors.

And if you want to get good wine, you must be "obedient".

After the simple version of the Gulf Leader's rules was implemented, naturally a considerable number of gray dwarf warriors could not adapt to it for the time being.

But it doesn’t matter, there are too many gray dwarf warriors who don’t have enough to eat.

Those guys who maintained their own strength and identity were quickly liquidated.

After clearing out a quarter of the gray dwarf soldiers, this newly established team of ten thousand people now has basic rules and discipline.

The second prince, Kreize, had many complaints and thoughts about this.

But he still endured it, and it was far from time to fall out.

After all, almost all the supplies of the entire Black Crow Castle are inseparable from the funding of the Gulf Territory.

He was reluctant to leave Black Crow Castle behind.

Yes, the entire Black Crow Castle was renovated and more than 30,000 gray dwarf warriors were mobilized, which would not have been possible without the strong support of the Gulf Territory.

To this end, the Gulf Territory has invested more than 5 million gold coins in supplies and a thousand-man training and construction force.

Naturally, the reason for investing such a huge amount of money is not to build a good relationship with the gray dwarves, but to receive real rewards.

After counting the supplies and harvest, Ji Fan excitedly reported to Matthew:

"This week, we obtained a total of 1,345 new high-level magic materials, obtained 72 spell books, captured 675 elf spellcasters, and 9.72 million gold coins..."

After the report, Jifan recalled the greedy eyes of those looters and continued with a smile:

"They don't seem to be satisfied with the transaction conditions we proposed, and some are already preparing to discuss and take action."

Matthew shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and looked through the detailed material ledger.

He saw many kinds of extremely rare and important magical plants, and continued to remind Jifan:

"As long as they dare to take action, teach them a profound lesson, and the rest will naturally follow their lead."

"If someone dares to provoke, then raise the price for them with confidence. Who said they don't have advanced transmission technology?"

The reason why Matthew has the confidence to say this is because he has successfully mastered the crucial treasure of Black Crow Castle-the Mystery Lock with the help of the Grand Arcanist Kenoman!

That's right, both Matthew and the Grand Arcanist of Kennoman are very interested in the Mystery Lock technology mastered by the Cole Elf.

Regardless of the huge turmoil that caused the dragon to fall into decline.

Suffice it to say that in every Cole Elf city, the city's mysterious locks that can withstand most magical attacks and destroy and suppress spellcasters inside have very powerful and practical effects.

The control core of the Mystery Lock is the light blue arcane crystal held in Matthew's hand.

There are no magic lines or fluctuations on its surface, but there is magic power like water inside, which is flowing slowly.

The entire image of Black Crow Castle is condensed in this large arcane crystal.

More detailed data slowly appeared in front of Matthew's eyes.

"Intermediate Mystery Core: An extraordinary arcane creation, which can control the intermediate Mystery that relies on its existence, and can perform many operations such as spell defense, magic control, prohibition of spell casting, phantom fog, etc."

In order to control the core of the Mystery Lock, Matthew spent more than 10 million Destiny Power to erase all its original authority.

Based on the research information provided by the Grand Arcanist of Kennoman, Matthew's own control over the Mystery Lock was confirmed.

After mastering the secret lock of Black Duck Castle, Matthew realized that the success of this raid was due to major surprises and coincidences.

Mysteries are different from elemental energy pools.

Not only can it not produce magic energy, but it also continuously consumes the surrounding magic energy.

In a sense, it performs a magic-forbidden operation on the internal area.

It is from another deeper level that cuts off the influx of elements in this area and absorbs the existing elements at the same time.

It is equivalent to a small magic net, which can achieve a wide range of spell effects through various preset spell designs.

In a sense, if you study the myth locks in depth enough, it will greatly promote and improve the understanding of the essence of magic nets and spells.

This is one of the reasons why the strength and mastery of spells among Cole Elf spellcasters are usually higher than those of other spellcasters.

Now, Matthew has successfully mastered the secret lock of Black Crow Castle, which has extended its scope of influence. With the expansion of the city wall, the connecting passages will also be surrounded.
To be continued...
