"Wait! Eredlin City? I seem to have heard of this dark elf city somewhere."

Erin Zhende immediately fell into deep thought.

After about ten seconds, he showed a look of realization and exclaimed: "Ah! I remembered it!

This city is located in the Northern Underdark, corresponding to the Troll Roaring Forest above. It is the closest drow city to Dragonspear Castle.

And it is very, very special and does not completely believe in the spider goddess Rose.

Two-thirds of the faith is divided between the ooze gods Ghaunadaur and Velen."

"That's right.

It seems you are very well informed.

It is precisely because the drow families in this underground city are constantly fighting among themselves that Eilistraee's followers can sneak into it to inquire for information.

Now Neverwinter faces a choice.

Should we take the initiative immediately and defeat the opponent while he is still on a weak footing, or should we wait here for the enemy to gather and attack us."

General Taylor immediately turned his attention to Aribes.

Because this Dark Guard who is loyal to the Imperial Emperor is the one who truly has the final say.

"If we take the initiative now, will those creator races hidden underground in Neverwinter suddenly come out?"

Aribes thought for a moment and asked a crucial question.

General Taylor replied without thinking: "It's hard to say. Under normal circumstances, they shouldn't be able to easily break the seal. But there may be gods involved behind the scenes, so we don't rule out the possibility of suddenly rushing out to cut our way out.

After much hesitation, Aribes chose a relatively conservative strategy.

After all, for her, the first goal is to ensure that Neverwinter does not fall into the hands of the enemy.

What's more, the longer the time drags on, the lower the possibility of Lord Nasir's survival. It is best to die directly at the hands of Deszell.

As for sending people to rescue...

Not to mention that we can't find the exact place now, even if we find it, we will never tell those who are still loyal to Lord Nasir.

Because in the eyes of Aribes after turning black, Lord Nasir is as weak and incompetent as his good-for-nothing fiancé, and he should have abdicated his throne a long time ago.

…

While the city of Neverwinter was preparing intensively for war, Dragonspear Castle, which stood next to the High Wasteland, had completely entered a state of war.

Because just last night, a group of dark elf assassins suddenly poured out of the tunnel. In less than an hour, they killed hundreds of people who were still sleeping. They also set fires everywhere to create commotion and locked those in cages.

The goblins, orcs, and gnoll slaves inside were all released to burn, kill, and loot.

This terrible riot lasted until two o'clock in the middle of the night, and it slowly calmed down when the Eilistraee believers in the underground city arrived to join the fight.

Of course, it was not that all the drow assassins who launched the sneak attack were caught or killed, but that they themselves chose to retreat.

You must know that the current Dragonspear Castle is not the semi-abandoned and dilapidated fortress at the beginning, but after several years of development, it is the largest town on the trade route and a supplier of specialty products from the Dark Region.

Moreover, after the establishment of the West Coast Empire, a grand canal was built directly through the High Wasteland, connecting the Wandering River north of Baldur's Gate with the Drimbil River flowing through Daggerford.

This massive infrastructure project turned large tracts of the High Wasteland into fertile farmland for growing crops and cash crops.

So the damage to Dragonspear Castle last night was not just some houses, monster slaves and goods stored in warehouses, but also several huge barns used to store food.

Seeing the white smoke rising from the ruins, the official who was assigned to manage this place turned pale and asked without looking back: "Ms. Kui Lu, I think you should give me a reasonable explanation.

How do those evil dark elves launch direct raids on surface towns through your cities?

According to the agreement, one of your most important responsibilities is to protect us from the dangers from the Underdark.

At least we need to issue early warning.”

"I'm so sorry.

This group of evil compatriots should have sneaked into our city among the refugees half a year ago.

However, they have never done anything suspicious and evil until last night when they suddenly acted together.

Obviously, these assassins are spies deliberately sent by the Spider Goddess.

Maybe it's to provoke the hard-earned trust between us, or maybe it's a prelude to some more terrifying conspiracy.

At times like this, we cannot afford to lose control."

Kui Lu explained with an apologetic look.

She obviously didn't expect that Rose had quietly stretched out her tentacles without realizing it, and her move was quite deadly.

Because this attack not only affected the relationship between the good drow and the surface races, but also created chaos and suspicion among Eilistraee's followers.

After all, after this lesson, no one knows whether the other drow around are spies or assassins who secretly believe in Lolth.

What's even more terrible is, if there are another dark elves escaping from the Underdark in the future, should we accept them?

If accepted, would we still need to use lie detection or memory reading to confirm the other party's identity?

Will doing this hurt the hearts of those who have gone through so much trouble to seek refuge with Eilistradre?

Most importantly, does this detection really work?

What if Lolth and her clerics used divine magic to seal the spies' memories?

There are too many problems that need to be faced and solved.

Unfortunately, the Spider Goddess Rose obviously has no intention of giving Eilistraee time to solve these problems.

A terrible crisis is coming.

"You mean...the war has started?" the official asked in an uncertain tone.

Kui Lu nodded without thinking: "Yes, the war has begun.

According to the scouts' reports, an army of orcs and goblins numbering in the tens of thousands is marching towards us at extremely fast speeds.

In a few hours, the opponent will arrive at the outskirts of the underground city and launch an attack.

We need support, lots and lots of support."

This bad news immediately made the official frown: "But I can't spare any manpower now.

As you can see, the raid last night caused the entire Dragonspear Castle to be in chaos, and even the nearby villages began to fall into panic.

At this time, I must prioritize restoring order.

Otherwise, once it falls into chaos, all kinds of thefts, robberies, and riots will occur endlessly."

"Perhaps this is exactly what the enemy wants to achieve by launching a night attack.

I suggest you report to the cabinet immediately and request reinforcements.

Because if all this is planned for a long time, then the next attack will be as violent as a violent storm.

As for us, we must go back underground and start organizing our defense."

After saying that, Kui Lu put one hand on her chest and bowed slightly, and immediately embarked on the return journey with her dark elf warriors, mages and priests.

In about an hour and a half, the team safely passed through the gate and entered the underground city that Rose regarded as a thorn in her side.

But before Kuilu could take a breath, Lirael, a chosen one of Eilistraee, hurried over and said in a very urgent tone, panting: "No... it's not good!

The two small fortresses we set up near the exit tunnels from the Underdark have been captured.

Not only did the opponent use magic to create a big hole in the wall, but there were also a large number of spider drow.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This means that we are facing more than just orcs and goblins."

"Damn! It's really troublesome now."

Although Kui Lu was mentally prepared, she still showed tension and anxiety.

Because if it were just goblins and orcs, with the solid walls of this underground city and the powerful fighting power of the dark elves, defending would not be a big problem.

After all, the underground world is not like the surface world, where there are many trees that can be cut down and used to make siege weapons.

Under normal circumstances, if you want to break into an underground city that has a good location and is well-defended, you often need the assistance of a large number of spellcasters.

This is also the reason why the dark elves can become the overlords of the Underdark.

Except for them, no other underground race can cultivate so many mages, warlocks and priests.

Therefore, races such as orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears, gnolls, and lizardmen that can make waves in the surface world are only qualified to be slaves of drow in the underground world.

Neither gray dwarves nor deep gnomes are afraid of the above monsters appearing alone.

But if they are followed by a group of dark elf masters, the situation will be completely different.

Just when Kui Lu was thinking about how to deal with it, a dazzling light suddenly flashed near the city gate on the other side in the distance, followed by a harsh magic alarm that echoed in everyone's ears.

"Enemy attack!!!! Everyone, prepare for battle!"

A dark elf commander drew his weapon and shouted at the top of his lungs.
