As soon as the Black Robe of Hyrust returned to the castle below, he began to gather the monsters scattered around, and then used magic to drive them towards the city of Aredrin. Not only do these monsters have a wide variety, but they also have a lot of high-end combat power. Among them are giants, necromancy, large elementals, and other unnamed alien creatures, including a few five-colored dragons.

The mad mage followed unhurriedly with a large number of clones and golems, and when viewed from above, the scene was magnificent and spectacular. At this moment, a portal suddenly opened in the sky, and Kelburn and Laila walked out of it.

When the mad mage saw them, he blessed himself with a spell and flew up. He desperately suppressed his crazy thoughts with his reason, and said to Kelburn, "How do you look magnificent, these are the species that I have spent countless energy collecting from all over the world. Once these guys invade the city of the dark elves, they will cause great chaos, and it is not impossible to destroy the entire city. ”

Leila looked at the contradictory look in his eyes and sighed. "For so many years, you've been digging huge labyrinths beneath Waterdeep, just for them?"

Hyraster looked proudly at the monster below. "I've crossed countless planes, exploring every nook and cranny. It took countless years for these guys to survive and thrive in the castle under the mountain, and they are the result of my proud experiments. Compared to you, the elect, I consider myself a true mage. ”

"You may be a true seeker of truth, but these monsters kill thousands of adventurers every year. Don't you feel guilty about it? Kelburn asked with a serious expression.

The mad mage Da Lu replied with a smile: "Ha Lu haha, guilt? Are you making me laugh? I didn't invite the adventurers to my labyrinth, they all came here voluntarily for the sake of strength and wealth. Will you be merciful to enemies who break into your mage tower for no reason? ”

"At least I'm not going to kill them without asking why! Your madness over the years has led to a flood of smuggling in Skull Harbor by the waters of Waterdeep, where hordes of evil creatures have gathered, including these wicked and cunning dark elves. Kyleburn yelled angrily at the mad mage.

Leila looked at her husband and the mad mage with some concern, she was very worried that the two of them would fight directly. You must know that more than a dozen clones not far from the road are already staring at the quarrel here, as long as Hylast's black robe makes a move, they will definitely fight together. When the time comes, let alone sabotage the ritual, it's a question of whether or not you can get out of here alive.

Unexpectedly, the mad mage did not choose to do it directly, as the legend suggests, he touched his gray hair, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Why am I responsible for these actions, will all the underground creatures that pass through the city under the mountain obey my orders?" Your mind has been distracted by things you don't know, and I don't want to argue with you anymore. Because we have completely different ideas about what is good and evil in our actions. ”

"I hope you don't spread these dangerous thoughts to the young man named Henry, who is a lord of an archipelago with tens of thousands of civilians. Once it becomes as dangerous as you, the consequences are unimaginable. Leila solemnly warned the mad mage.

Hylast's black robe sneered. "Dangerous thoughts? Don't worry. I could see that the young man had already decided his own path in the future, and would lean neither toward me nor toward you. In his determined eyes, I saw ambition, reason, and stoicism, and people with these traits do not change their minds at will. ”

Kelburn nodded approvingly. "You're right! I heard that he was not only a mage, but also a druid. People who can combine these two somewhat contradictory professions will not go along with other people's ideas. If I'm not mistaken, he must have followed the path of neutrality. Hopefully, though, he won't be the next Demon Duncan. ”

"Demon Duncan? That bald mage crazier than me, still leading his private army to play a balance that I don't know? It is rare for Helast to use the word "crazy" for others.

Lyra laughed, and when she said these two words from the mouth of the famous mad mage of Faeron, it was really inexplicably joyful. "Yes, he often swayed between the two camps in the war of the Gray Eagle. I heard that the Sages of Kabal already regarded him as the great enemy of the entire world. Kyleburne explained it to Hylast.

Leila flicked her long silver hair. "Alright, that's all for the small talk. Now let's hurry to catch up with the army in front, and know that the longer the road drags on, the more dangerous it becomes. The other two nodded approvingly, and the three of them flew forward together.

At the same time, the city of Aredlin was also in chaos. Mistress Ikrifuda is uniting with the other six ruling families to wipe out the First Family. Archmage Chasma had just returned to the Mage Tower, and before he could sit down and rest for a while, he saw the scene of Hylast's black robe in the monitoring crystal ball slaughtering in all directions. He immediately used the prophecy spell to do a few divinations, and found Nalomin. Philon had died a few days earlier, and it was an surface human named Henry who had killed him.

The archmage immediately woke up to the fact that the murderer of his son was the one who had just tricked him back. He raged and crushed everything around him, then shouted to the sky, "Henry! You wait for me! I'm going to give you a good taste of pain and despair. And then slowly torture you to death with the most cruel punishment! With that, he quickly walked out of the Mage Tower and went to the old ** Ikrifda that the Nakoor family had informed him.

News of the fall of the camp soon reached the First Family, and the Mother Zestra got up from her chair when she heard it. She shouted to the mage who was announcing the news, "What did you say!" The camp under the Mage's Tower has been destroyed, and the entire army is dead! Didn't we seal that mad mage inside with a pillar? Tell me how he got out of it! ”

"We don't know that all the mages stationed in the camp are dead, and none of them can escape back to report the news. Judging by the scene, Hylast's Black Robe unleashed a legendary spell that turned the entire camp into a crater, erasing all traces. The mage replied with his head bowed in fear.

The mistress stared fiercely at the mage who brought bad news and asked, "Who else knows about this matter besides you?" ”

The mage trembled with fear from her eyes. "The masters in the mage tower all got the news as soon as possible, and it is estimated that it is now known all over the city."

Mistress Zestra pulled out the gavel from her waist and shattered the mage's head in one fell swoop. She said to her daughter beside her, "Now gather all the soldiers back at once, and at the same time I will begin the ritual "Call of the Abyss". When the other ruling families hear the news of the annihilation of our army, they will unite to take advantage of the fire. With our strength greatly reduced and all hope now pinned on the ceremony, I now appoint you to lead all the clan soldiers against the impending attack. ”

The eldest daughter bowed deeply. "Please rest assured, I will let these guys who don't know the height of the sky see the strength of the first family. In addition, I suggest that the smaller families be integrated now, and that they can be promised to move up their family's ranking, so that they can come to our side. ”

The mistress nodded. "I'll leave it all to you, and I'm going to devote myself to this ritual now, and I can't let anyone disturb the whole process." With that, she stood up and walked to the basement.

A day later, the power of the entire Eri's Forest City was split in two, and all the people gathered in front of the gate of the First Family. On one side is the ruling family alliance headed by the mother of the Mistress of Ikrifuda, and on the other side is the minor nobles who are moved by the rhetoric of the first family and come to help.

Both sides were cautiously holding on to each other, and the tension spread rapidly. Just as the battle was about to break out, there was a loud bang at the gates of Ariedlin City. The gate made of adamantite flew directly into the air, and after the powerful spell broke through the city gate, it also swept the platform at the gate by the way.

Just as everyone was stunned, a giant rushed in first, and he threw the stones in his hand with all his might, smashing the fleeing merchant into a pulp. Countless ogres, bear goblins, trolls, winter wolves, snow monsters, ferocious animals, and so on slowly poured in, and as soon as they entered the city, they attacked the nearest dark elf like crazy.

Mistress Ikrifda was stunned by what she saw, and she quickly came back to her senses and said to the eldest daughter of the First Family, "In the name of the Queen of God, we should reconcile now and deal with these monsters that have invaded the city. Otherwise, even if the winner is decided, the whole city will be reduced to rubble. ”

The eldest daughter of the First Family looked at the dragon raging in the distance and nodded. "Well, in the name of the Queen of God, a temporary truce. Now let's deal with these intruders first. After reaching an agreement, the two sides quickly began to organize their men to launch a counterattack, and for a while, the dark elves took advantage of their home field advantage to block the monsters near the square in the center of the city. The dragon was also driven to the sky by the mages and priests with spells, and did not dare to dive easily.

But the balance didn't last long, and when the clones of Helast's black robes joined in, the defenses were quickly crushed. They unleash a chain of lightning, a finger of death, human immobilization, mayhem, pop explosions, banshee howls, death seals, and more. Before the dark elves could react to what was happening, they were overwhelmed by the sea of spells.

The gorgeous magic effect blinded Mistress Ikrifuda, who now finally understood who was attacking the city. Hylast's black robe, that damn mad mage is actually leading his army to revenge.
