Chapter XVIII Tripartite Alliance

In the dark underground, the Black Onyx Stone City is a very alternative existence. Other underground cities are basically owned by a certain race, for example, the city of the gray dwarves must be ruled by the gray dwarves, the cities of the dark elves will always be the boss of the dark elves, and the cities of the mind flayer are all slaves except the mind flayer. It can be said that in the dark region, each city can basically be equated with a gathering place of an ethnic group.

But Black Onyx Stone City is different, it is ruled by three races, and more interestingly, all three races are from the surface. They are the Teflin tribe, the half-vampire tribe, and the snake people tribe. Their origins are different, but the fate is the same, that is, they were all expelled from the surface for some reason, and they couldn't get along anymore before they ran to the dark areas to take refuge.

Unfortunately, the Underworld races in the Dark Regions did not welcome these guests with open arms, but instead the entry of these surface races caused great resentment among the Underworld races, and in the first few years, they were attacked by the Mind Flayers, Dark Elves, and Grey Dwarves. If it weren't for the fact that the underground races didn't like each other, and there was no unified alliance, I'm afraid these poor creatures from the surface would be finished.

However, it was not the idle people who were able to escape here, and seeing that things were not going well, the three parties finally joined forces to form an alliance, and built a city based on it, which was the Black Onyx Stone City.

Today, the power of Black Onyx Stone City is very strong, and their prestige has gradually been established due to the fact that they have defeated the attacks of the underground races several times in a row. After understanding the rules of the underground, the Black Onyx Stone City showed fierce belligerent tendencies, and no matter what kind of attack they encountered, they would pounce on it and bite it like a mad dog.

This is quite a clever approach, after all, no one is subordinate to each other among the underground races, and if one of them is bitten because of the counterattack of the Black Onyx Stone City, so as to lead the other two parties to take advantage of the fisherman, it will be a joke.

Under this delicate balance, the Black Onyx Stone City gradually unfolded.

But now, they have a new problem.

"Another caravan didn't arrive at Black Onyx Stone City on time, and this is already the fifth caravan."

Divo. Du Dengsheng threw down the record in his hand, and his golden, lizard-like eyes stared viciously at the conference hall in front of him, as if he was going to choose someone to devour. Two long, sharp horns whistled through the air with the movements of the Teflins, as if to represent his wrath.

"How long are we going to wait?! Everybody! Are we going to starve ourselves to death? ”

"Don't be so nervous, Divo, the more serious the situation, the more cautious we must be."

Unlike the furious Teflin, Elite still sat peacefully in her chair with an elegant smile, holding a glass of bright red wine in her hand, like a master taster. However, although his words were lighthearted, those bright red eyes stared straight at the dark shadow on the other side.

"Let me hear what our snake man friends have to say. The patrol must have returned, right? ”

"Of course."

Across from the half-vampire, a snake man nodded. His upper body was no different from that of a muscular human, but from the waist down was completely in the form of a stout giant python. On top of that, the white scales covering his entire body made him look unusually conspicuous -- not to mention the sparkling bald head.

"According to reports from the patrols, they have shown traces of those caravans, and at least for now, they appear to have been attacked by bandits."

"Bandits?"

Hearing this, the expressions of the other two suddenly became exciting.

"That's right, all the underground lizards that were carrying the goods were missing, and almost everyone, including the guards, was killed. Although the exact number of people is not known, it seems that the other party did not leave a living mouth. According to the tracks, the underground lizards were driven away. ”

With that, Russ glanced at the expressions of the other two.

"Not only that, but the patrol still has traces of magic on the scene, and judging by the situation, these caravans were all killed by the other party's magic attack while camping. Unfortunately, because the corpses had been torn by underground beasts, it was impossible to determine how they were killed for a while. ”

"Is it the Dark Elves?"

Divo scratched at his sharp corners, frowned and asked his own question. It was not unreasonable for him to say this, the Mind Flayer used mind control, if this was done by them, then those caravans would not need to resist at all, and a single face would become the most loyal slave of the Mind Flayer.

Although the gray dwarves are brave, they are known to have an anti-demon constitution that is the biggest obstacle to these gray dwarves from learning magic, so the only ones who have a grudge against them and can use magic are the black-skinned elves. But...............

"There are no dark elf cities near us, and the underground caravans are well guarded, so it is impossible for a few dark elves to kill them all. And according to the character of the group of black skins, they will not risk their lives, but more to mobilize their slaves and cannon fodder. But ..............."

With that, Divo looked at the half-vampire beside him, and sensing Divo's gaze, Elite shook her head.

"I haven't received any recent information about the large-scale transfer of slaves by the Dark Elf family."

It's funny, it's not a Mind Flayer, it's not a gray dwarf, and the dark elves don't have enough motivation and reason to do such a thankless thing, so who did it?

"Whoever did it, we're going to teach them a lesson!!"

The other two agreed with Divo's words. Although it is not known who did it, this practice has significantly weakened the power of Black Onyx Stone City. If the caravans don't come to trade with them, then the survival of Black Onyx Stone City will be in question. Once they fall, the Mind Flayer, the Grey Dwarves and the Dark Elves will surely take advantage of it again. At that time, for Black Onyx Stone City, it will be an existential crisis.

"We've probed the source of the traces, and we're not too far away."

At this moment, the snake man Russ also waved his arms and said with a cold look.

"I propose that we should organize a team of elite soldiers to find out those bastards who dare to attack the caravan and teach them a lesson! Let them know that our Black Onyx Stone City is not easy to mess with!! ”

As soon as Russ's words fell, there was an eerie silence in the conference room. None of the people here are ordinary people, and these leaders who escaped from the encirclement and suppression of the surface with their own tribes and came to live underground are not fools. They are well aware of the consequences of doing so. You know, none of the caravans that can walk in the dark areas are fuel-efficient lamps, and this place is much more dangerous than the surface. With the exception of the underground cities, caravans spend most of their time in deserted tunnels, where they can encounter terrible beasts at any time.

Because of this, the underground caravans have always been well guarded, and their elite Cheng dΓΉ is no less than an army. But in this case, five caravans were destroyed. The strength of the other party can be imagined. Because of this, Black Onyx Stone City can't just send a few patrols to find trouble.

Only by condensing the most powerful power and killing one blow can the best effect be produced. This is also a good thing for Black Onyx Stone City, because if it is successful, it will be equivalent to officially declaring that Black Onyx Stone City's influence and control in the Northland is incomparable to that of other weak underground cities.

But in turn, there is a dangerous side to this.

If the other party's forces are too expected, it is good that they can escape back, but if the whole army is annihilated, it will be a great loss of vitality for the Black Onyx Stone City. They had only settled here for a few decades, and in terms of power accumulation, they were not as deep as those races in the dark underworld, and if they lost their most elite members, it would only be a matter of time before Black Onyx Stone City was slaughtered.

But even then, they had to do it, connecting five caravans to attack. If Black Onyx Stone City doesn't make any indications to solve this problem, I'm afraid that there will never be any caravans trading with Black Onyx Stone City in the future, and in that case, their fate will also be sealed.

"Boom!!"

The Tevelyn slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth, was silent for a moment, and then made his decision.

"As Russ said, this time, we must teach those bastards a lesson that will never be forgotten! Let them know how awesome our Black Onyx Stone City is!! If we don't say anything this time, our city will become the biggest laughing stock in the Northland! This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to be born! ”

"Well, then, it's decided."

After drinking the wine in the glass, Ilett slowly stood up, although his expression was still so indifferent, but everyone who was familiar with this half-vampire knew very well that once he made this action, it was equivalent to making a choice that could not be changed. Despite this, the next moment, what Elite said was still unexpected by everyone.

"I'll send Leigh with me, just in case."

"What?"

Hearing this, both Devo and Russ couldn't help but widen their eyes and look at the half-vampire in front of them in disbelief. Although they were indeed ready to make a huge sacrifice, they didn't expect that Elite would actually propose this candidate!
