Analia Mountains, Lokol City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's early in the morning, and the streets that should be bustling and noisy are deserted and there are not many people in sight. Even when they had no choice but to go out, the townspeople walked briskly against the walls on both sides, and occasionally raised their heads and swept the sky, as if they were on the lookout for something.

On the not-so-tall city walls, the cold light shimmered, and countless small city guards with heavy crossbows and bows crouched behind the battlements, carefully and cautiously patrolling the distant sky.

There is no smoke of dawn, no hustle and bustle of people, and the whole town is silent, like an empty city.

The spire of the five-story magic tower erected in the center of the town had collapsed, and most of the tower walls were gone, revealing the same misery and desolation inside. The remnants of the tower still bear the scars of the flames, and are covered with deep claw marks and pits.

The mages have already evacuated, leaving only a dozen mage apprentices in the magic tower to rummage through useful items. It can be seen that as long as the work is completed, they will also evacuate this poor city without hesitation.

Half a mile to the right of the magic tower is the City Lord's Mansion, which is obviously a favorite place for black dragons.

The once beautiful and delicate garden is now devastated, and a blackened path of red flames passes through the middle of the flowerbed, and at the end of the ashes is the three-story castle where the lord of the castle lived. The black dragon's hot and sticky breath had been extinguished, leaving only a shocking path of ashes to the earth.

The location of the treasure house of the City Lord's Mansion was even more miserable, and most of the roof wall of the treasury had been blown away, so that everything inside was exposed in front of people. There were more than a dozen humanoid scorch marks in the open space around the treasure house, and judging by the appearance, it should be the last trace left by the guard soldiers after being incinerated by the Black Dragon Flame.

As for the inside of the treasure house, of course, it was empty, and all the supplies and treasures had been carried away by the greedy black dragon.

However, such a poor city that has been plundered and has nothing still cannot escape the patronage of the black dragon.

"Bell Bell Bell ......"

The alarm bell sounded again, and all the residents of the town who were still outdoors hurriedly hid in their houses, peeking into the surrounding sky in horror through the gaps in the board walls.

With a loud roar, a sturdy and majestic body swept across the sky of the small city, casting a huge black shadow on the hearts of the residents of the small city.

The Black Dragon is here again!

…………

In Tony's Papa Tavern, the two sides are facing off fiercely.

On one side was a team of twelve alien adventurers, among whom were warriors, rangers, wanderers, and a level 8 mage in mage robes. The highest level of this group of people is the captain of the adventurer squad and shield warrior, level 14, and most of the rest of the members are above level 10, which is considered a very good team of adventurers.

And the people who confronted them were the city guards sent by the City Lord's Mansion, drawing their swords one by one, holding crossbows, and viciously looking at this group of adventurers.

"We were invited to eradicate these black dragons, what are you trying to do?" The captain of the adventure team angrily accused.

"This is our home." An armored city guard officer said with a calm expression, "We will never allow you to make dangerous moves that endanger this city!" ”

At that moment, with a cold roar slashing over the tavern, the spire of a nearby house was deliberately broken by the black dragon, smashing the roof of a house in a thrilling series of loud noises.

Suppressed cries could be heard faintly in the distance.

"You saw it too. The Black Dragons are wreaking havoc on your homeland, and we have been commissioned by His Majesty the Kings of the Eltien States to help you deal with them. You ......" the captain was still lobbying, but in front of them, the officers of the city guard remained unmoved.

"But when we asked His Majesty for help half a month ago and received nothing, sorry, the city of Lokol was no longer part of the Eltien States. You are not welcome here, go back where you came from, and don't look for trouble with us! ”

"But don't you need to deal with the black dragon?"

"How to deal with the black dragon is our business, and we don't need to worry about you outsiders. Four days ago, because of the adventurous actions of you outsiders, the city of Delik had been destroyed by the frenzied revenge of the Black Dragons. Now that you are here again, do you want the seventy or eighty thousand people here to perish with you? ”

"We're here to help you!"

"No! The lord of the castle has already ordered that if you do not obey the command, we have the right to detain you. If you resist, shoot and kill! ”

As the words between the two sides escalated, the atmosphere in the room became more and more solemn.

After a long silence, the leader of the adventure team finally gave up reluctantly.

With a wave of his hand, the members of the team slowly retreated and put away their weapons again, but their vigilant gaze never relaxed for a moment. After all, being aimed at by more than twenty crossbows, no one dared to take it lightly.

Seeing the adventurers retreat, the city guard officers finally breathed a sigh of relief and ordered their men to retreat to the other side of the house. Although they had been relieved of the fighting state, the crossbow arrows in their hands had not been reloaded, and it was obvious that they were still not very at ease with the adventurers.

And at this time, the black dragon that was soaring and coiling over the small city, constantly showing off its toned body, roared again with its loud voice.

"Hurry up and hand over all your treasures, or your town will be doomed to the scorching dragonflames of the great Ofelel. Hurry up, hand over the treasures and offerings! ”

The loud dragon chant was accompanied by the terrifying dragon power that continued to roll over the city, shaking the residents of the small city to cover their ears and avoid it, and the cries of one after another sounded again.

The two people in the room couldn't help but look gloomy at the same time, full of struggle and pain.

A sense of sunset slowly rose in everyone's hearts.

Humans, are they still the masters of the Klein Continent? Where are all those human powerhouses and human mages who are worshiped by thousands of people? Does humanity have a future?

…………

The same scene has been staged in more than a dozen human cities.

Every city simply couldn't withstand the ravages of more than a dozen terrifying underground black dragons, so the city's defenses were damaged and the defense power was greatly reduced. Even if some cities are guarded by magic towers, the few mages make it impossible for them to resist the siege of dragons led by four legendary black dragons.

Therefore, when Rosewall, the only legendary mage of the Eltien States, was defeated by the legendary black dragon, the cities and cities in the entire city-state lost their last barrier.

When any city is lifted from the defense system by the black dragon group, a random level 16 or 7 black dragon little guy behind can make the city tremble but helpless. And once any city dares to resist the enslavement of the black dragons, then the swarm of black dragons will destroy the city with terrifying dragon flames.

One after another, three cities have been destroyed because they hurt the black dragon who came to collect the offerings, and the casualties have been as high as 70,000 or 80,000 people.

Forced by the black dragon's obscenity, the human cities around the mountains of Analia could only refuse the "help" of those big city-states and reluctantly submit to the black dragon's rule.

Soon after, the dark nobles from Drow City have entered many human cities one after another. Although they are cruel and arrogant, as long as there is a place for them, the black dragon will not bother them anymore.

Under the oppression of this simple strategy of carrots and sticks, countless city-states could only open their gates gloomily, and no longer resist the rule of this group of black-skinned women from the underground.

For a time, the cities around the mountains of Analia unexpectedly formed a strange situation of human aristocrats and dark aristocrats co-governing.

Judging from this point, the drow elves have a tendency to take root on the surface of the earth!

…………

The city of Fundia, the core city of the Eltien States.

In the huge, spacious and beautifully decorated council chamber, the deafening roar of His Majesty King Toforni had been going on for an hour without showing any signs of abating.

Countless nobles, parliamentarians, chamber leaders, and local union presidents gathered here, their pale faces full of humiliation and helplessness, but in the face of a defeated battle, none of them could come up with the means and methods to solve the current predicament of the Eltien states.

The Eltien States were a super-loose federation of cities. Although all the large and small cities in the kingdom respectfully refer to Tophni as the king and the city of Fundia as the capital, everyone knows that it is only a title and does not represent the real situation.

First of all, the city of Fundia is the most developed center of commerce and trade among many cities, and the city lord Tophni is the largest force with four legendary powerhouses.

Secondly, with the continuous infiltration of church forces in the south and the strong advance of the mage guild in the north, many small loose city-states simply cannot compete with these two forces alone. Because in order to protect themselves, many large and small city lords gathered together to elect the so-called king, forming a strange city-state system.

For nearly a thousand years, the loose Eltien states had barely managed to be torn between the two powers, and they could not offend each other. Since the two powers also needed a reasonable buffer zone, they let it struggle to survive.

But now, with the invasion of powerful alien races, the loose state form makes it impossible for them to gather the armies of the city-states to drive the drow elves out.

The northern lords who faced the blades of the drow elves kept sending people for help, while the southern lords who had not yet had the doom of the sword were only willing to send a small part of their troops to support the north. In this time of war and chaos, the city lords who were already local organizations and local forces were more willing to keep their troops in their own hands, and how could they be willing to sacrifice their own armies for the sake of others.

As a result, the people sitting in this hall could only sit helplessly and watch the northern lords fall into the hands of the black dragon and the drow elves one by one.
