Chapter 0173: Civil Strife
Chapter 0173 Civil Strife
5 people were killed in a very short period of time, especially 2 mages, who were cut from behind and died a terrible death. After examining the corpses, it was found that there was still a little shadow material left in the wounds of everyone, and the martial arts chief's heart was cold, and he hurriedly passed it down to defend against the shadow creatures, and all the Drow warriors should not act alone, they must be fully armed and ready to deal with assassination at any time.
After arranging the defensive line, the chief of martial arts hurried to the audience room, where he met with the mother of Wen Lisha. Hearing about the death of the two Dark Mages on the front line, the angry roar of the Mother of Wen Lisa resounded through the huge hall.
Unexpectedly, really unexpectedly, a mid-level mage sent by the Council of the Undead would have such a powerful army of the undead. Could it be that the rumor that he was a disciple of a certain Holy Order mage was true? Thinking of the loss of the First Family in just one hour, the mother of Wen Lisa longed to cut the daughter who had instigated her to act against the representative of this undead power.
A blood-red gaze swept over the Audience Room, which at this moment had already concentrated all the high-level leaders of the First Family. 3 mages, 17 Drow priests and priests, and 30 heavily armed Drow guards, but there was no sign of the second daughter. Mother Wen Lisa smiled fiercely, and stared at a middle-aged mage with a mustache who was holding a staff in his hand and bowing his head silently, this was their family's first advisor mage.
"Master Bren, where is Resel now?"
The chill in his tone made everyone bow their heads, but the first advisor mage bowed smoothly with a strangely shaped staff and said, "I don't know, Honorable Master Mother! ”
"You don't know? Haha, you don't know! Mistress Wen Lisa suddenly stood up from the only seat in the front room, her slender fingers already caressing the seven-headed snake's head whip around her waist. At her signal, the 17 priests and priests in the hall forced the advisor mage from the left and right, and the martial arts chief had quietly blocked the mage's back road, while the other two mid-level dark mages raised their hands and retreated, making it clear that they would not participate in this kind of infighting.
"I just made a plan to capture the necromancer based on the information you provided, and it seems that I shouldn't be responsible for the deviation in the plan due to the miscalculation of intelligence." The First Advisor mage showed no signs of resistance, but this calmness was far greater than before, making it easier to raise suspicions.
"Then predict where Risel is now?" Mistress Wen Lisa continued to ask. The 30 elite Drow guards on the periphery have completely sealed off the Audience Room, and some of them have gone straight to the residence of the First Advisor Mage and the second daughter, Resir.
"I couldn't have predicted, my lord. She was no longer in the First Family Residency, out of the reach of magical sensing. For the first time, the First Advisor Mage straightened up, a mysterious glint in his eyes.
"What promise did she promise you, could she give you more than I did?" Mother Wen Lisa burst into a scream, the achievement that had just engulfed the Fifth Family was shattered by the many betrayals in front of her.
When the seven-headed serpent's whip was raised, the hanging hand of the First Advisor Mage finally lifted, and the entire audience room seemed to be stuffed with a sun, and the scorching bright light suddenly lit up, and all the drow let out a miserable howl. Drow is born with dark vision and infrared vision, and what he has degenerated is his resistance to strong light, and he is often attacked by opponents in battle against this weakness, so he has also found a complete set of coping methods.
The elite Drow warriors' superb blind fighting skills were developed specifically for this situation.
The martial arts chief behind the mage closed his tear-stinging eyes, endured all the discomfort on his body, and the scimitar in his hand slashed at the location of the mage in his memory with rapid speed, and listened intently to the surrounding movements as he attacked. The scimitar made two crisp sounds, "bang" and "bang", not like the sound of slashing on the mage's body, nor like the sound of slashing on the mage's staff, but like ......
The martial arts chief rolled on the spot and escaped, and he could still hear the heavy sound of breaking wind sliding past his position just now.
"Metal puppets! ......," the martial arts chief reminded loudly as he withdrew. After all, most of the people present were spellcasters, and if a metal puppet with great magical resistance suddenly appeared, it would be a disaster.
It's just that there is an anti-magic barrier set up at the entrance of the audience room, and there are elite drow guards waiting for it, how can such a dangerous object be infiltrated? You must know that as the core area of the Drow family, this place is shrouded by various effects such as anti-summoning arrays, anti-teleportation arrays, and anti-prophecy circles all year round, and any otherworldly creatures, contract creatures in the soul space, etc., cannot be summoned, how was this puppet brought in by the mage?
Without thinking too much about it, the chaotic scene in the room was out of control. Many people with different intentions who couldn't see things got together, plus a humanoid metal puppet who moved quickly and moved around to attack, so in order to protect themselves, they all retreated to one side, defending with all their backs against the stone wall, and immediately attacking with all their strength for those who dared to enter the sensing range.
Several inexperienced low-level priestesses, perhaps wanting to be protected by their high-level partners, or perhaps they lost their way, stumbled into the warning range of others, and finally died of "accidental injuries".
The fastest recovery in the field was the highest-level 14th level caster Wen Lisha's master mother, but when she used her magic to restore her eyes, she saw the three low-level priestesses lying in the field, and her anger was irrepressible.
The humanoid metal puppet hit with a burst of small magic spells, and once it lost its speed, this guy who was not very high in attack was immediately trapped in place by several high-ranking priestesses who had recovered their eyesight with spider web techniques. The metal puppet has high resistance, and there is no need to spend precious mana on it, and after trapping it, several Drow guards brought heavy hammers and stone sticks, and repeatedly smashed key parts through guò, finally making it lose its mobility.
Before the whereabouts of the two traitors could be thoroughly investigated, the housemother of Wen Lisha, who had just quelled the civil strife, had already come to report that the family gate had been attacked. Shocked, he hurriedly rushed to the front line with all the sacrifices and 2 middle-level mages.
This is a small hall, and the guò is the first key node where you can go to different areas of the first family. The Drow is a militarily all-people race and is always in a state of combat readiness at all times, so as soon as the family gate is in crisis, the defense is already ready here.
A number of sturdy iron barriers were stacked at the entrance to the hall, where the entrance was so small that the enemy could not deploy a large number of troops to carry out a sustained attack. The Drow warriors were armed with crossbow arrows or metal spears, hidden in all corners of the hall, but there were more than 70 people, and they had already guarded this place from the wind and rain. The hastily arrived priesthood immediately commanded the warriors they had brought to fill the small defensive lines and began to prepare for the various magic that would be used.
After all, Rasmufil City is a remote town in the territory ruled by Drow, and as the first family, it can come up with more than 20 spellcasters such as 20 priestesses and 3 mages, and it has firmly occupied the absolute advantage in the city. However, after a series of mistakes just now, he has already damaged the eldest daughter of the family and betrayed the second daughter and the first advisor mage, which is already the most nerve-wracking trauma in the past hundred years.
Casualties came second, and the important thing was that a heavy shadow had been cast over the hearts of the priesthood. Now that the arrogant enemy has attacked the door, the First Family may be able to survive this crisis, but the absolute superiority that has been maintained for so long will be gone forever, and it will face more and stronger challenges in the future, and it will no longer be able to enjoy the glory of the First Family comfortably.
Mother Wen Lisha's heart was panicked, the scenery of the past six months has changed infinitely to the current storm, just because of a mid-level necromancer? No, it's not all. She has always presided over all the important rituals in Rasmufer City, why did she not receive any warning from the goddess this time? It was precisely this that really scared her.
The most important thing about Drow is not his personal bravery, but the favor of the spider goddess. As long as you have the favor of the goddess, you can be invincible and naturally have the upper hand in the struggle with other families. Although the number of officiations and the sacrifices that were most pleasing to the goddess were the most pleasing to the goddess, Wen Lisa's first family had firmly ruled the city of Rasmufer for 400 years, but this cornerstone was not stable.
The Spider Goddess is, after all, a capricious deity with a penchant for betrayal and chaos. A momentary favor may allow the goddess to bless a mistress for a while, but eventually she gets tired of it, and soon shares it with her enemies to encourage family succession, and to replace this subversion with fresh blood.
In this way, the Spider Goddess reminds her favored families not to rest on their laurels and just want to enjoy themselves, but to always be wary of daggers stabbed in the back, and to be careful of the venom in the wine.
Then the most obvious sign of this family change is that the first family suddenly loses the protection of the goddess. The loss of warning of the crisis is the first step, and the families that follow it will be vaguely hinted at and favored by the goddess more generously than in the past when the rituals are held. Wen Lisa had already experienced these processes, after all, this was how she got the position of the first family mother.
Could it be that she has been in the position of the head mother of the first family for too long, and the queen of gods plans to change her new face?
Although she was on the front line of the battlefield, Wen Lisa had no intention of commanding the defensive front in the hall, but repeatedly pondered the similarities and differences of the last few sacrifices, hoping to find signs of the goddess's favor transfer.
Fortunately, the Drow warriors with high military literacy have already been trained in internal street warfare, and have completed all the defensive preparations without too much deployment, waiting with bated breath for the arrival of the enemy.
