Chapter 585, 100,000 Soldiers Besiege the City of Mosobrey (Part 2)
The prisoner's name is Minsara-Banere. According to Nastia, she is still a young person, too young. If Rose hadn't been silent, there would have been no response. In addition, the Banrei family is really because of The losses in the previous war were too heavy, and there was no way to send such young and unreliable soldiers out for reconnaissance.
"It's very interesting." Nestia crossed her arms and the dark elf sister said with interest: "When I left the Baenre family, she was still a little princess, young, childish, and sometimes very naive. Now She actually became Rose's paladin. It seems that you have grown very well during the time I left, Mingsala."
"I think it's hard for me to understand what people in your Banrei family usually think about besides spiders, assassinations, and politics." Aaron couldn't help complaining, and he folded his arms in a similar manner: " Lolth's Whip? I like that name. Tell me, Lady Minsala-Baenre, what's going on in the city?"
"......You don't want me to reveal any truth. You can conquer my body, but you can never conquer a noble soul dedicated to Rose! I am Minsala, the daughter of the Baenre family!" Saint Rose The warrior raised her head proudly, with an inviolable arrogance on her delicate and heroic face: "Feel free to taint me with your dirty things! I'm not afraid!"
Next to her, Nastia couldn't help but smile.
To the goblins and kobolds, just don't, help me. To Aaron, just come, I'm not afraid.
The fragility and vacillation of this little guy are visible to the naked eye.
"She may be of some use. Currently, the Baenre family doesn't know that she has been captured." Nastia whispered in Aaron's ear: "Also, I have a strange feeling that she seems to be a little rough. The breath of silk.”
"Okay, let me try." Aaron nodded. He reached out and held Mingsala's head, and clasped his fingers in her dirty silver hair.
Aaron felt that his consciousness was drawn into a whirlpool surrounded by storms, an abyss in a spider web. The spiritual storm of chaos was raging in the ocean of consciousness, and the soul of Mingsara was in the eye of the storm in the middle of the vortex.
He soon felt that Rose did have some strange connection with this very young sworn paladin.
The chosen one?
Quietly, Aaron used the deception of Tzeentch's good brother to replace and simulate this strange connection. The image of Rose emerged in the eye of the storm, calling Min'sala's name tenderly and cruelly.
"My Lord! My Lord!" Minsala's soul responded to Rose's call. When she saw the face of the Spider Queen, the young paladin almost cried: "You are here, you are finally here, I have prayed countless times for your response!”
"That thing, Lolth's Whip, he destroyed everything about me. His army has arrived near your altar. The entire Baenre family is calling for you. The bitch Eilistraee has joined forces with him, and we The city is in danger.”
"We need your strength more than ever."
"I have always valued you, Min'sala, but your performance and the performance of the entire city of Menzoberranzan have made me very disappointed." Rose spoke: "Tell me, what can you do without me? "
"us……"
Minsala hung her head in pain. She knew that Rose was right. Without Rose, she would not even be able to release the Holy Slash.
"You have to learn to obey... I have a plan, Min'sala... First, tell me, tell me what Menzoberranzan is afraid of... Then, pretend to obey, obey him, and you will gain my favor. , you will become the new mistress of the Banre family after Kunsel..."
Faced with Rose's request, Minsala obeyed without question.
It was at this moment that the drow paladin felt that she had established a new connection with the origin of chaos, and the power of her paladin was finally injected into her body again! She can use Holy Slash again!
When Minsala woke up again, her attitude had changed a lot, and the little princess of the Banre family expressed her willingness to surrender.
Aaron readily accepted.
January 18, 1369 in the valley calendar.
Rose remained silent. Even though many families in Menzoberranzan had shed their blood and sacrificed their hearts, the Spider Queen still had not given any response to any of her followers, not even the Waxmelt.
Just like that, the general attack began.
Amid the sky full of flying fireballs and the roar of cannons, Enrique, the king of Chaos Dwarf Zar, stood on a high place, overlooking the siege.
Eighteen siege towers slowly advanced towards the city wall of Menzoberranzan under the push of derro dwarves and bugbears. The cannons above the siege towers continued to fire solid projectiles. The city wall of Menzoberranzan It is high on the outside and low on the inside, that is, it is difficult to break the city, but once the city wall is breached, Menzoberranzan has nowhere to defend.
The city's guards are composed of drow male warriors from several major families. After realizing that the slaves either only know how to rebel or only know how to be passive, the male drow took on the important task of defending the city.
Large groups of spider knights rushed out of the city. These knights were all male. The spiders on their crotches ran rampant under their command, but the riders on the spiders were as steady as a rock. They held spears and passed around the siege tower like a storm. The derro dwarves and bugbears who pushed the siege tower were too late. In response, his body was covered with bloody spear handles.
The oil cans and bombs imported from the gray dwarves were thrown into the siege towers. One tower after another was blown up, and the derro dwarves and earth elves inside fell to the ground in large numbers, either being blown to death or falling to death.
The first wave of attacks was dead.
However, Enrique, the king of the Chaos Dwarves Zaar, did not care. He was even laughing.
Hehe, there are too many second-class citizens.
It’s just right to send off a few waves here!
And, damn drow, how much blood of spider knights can you shed?
"Hellfire Team, get ready!" Enrique signaled his men to raise flags. Five hundred thunder gunners appeared in the gray dwarf formation. Regardless of whether they were enemy or friendly forces, they fired rows of volleys at the battle line between the drow spider cavalry and the derro dwarves.
Blood was flying up into the sky, especially dazzling in the dim Underdark. The first wave of Chaos Dwarves' offensive failed, and all eighteen siege towers were scrapped. However, the Drow Knights suffered a huge casualties of almost one to three with the Gray Dwarves' vanguard.
Bloody profit.
Prince Enrique knew that someone was watching this war. Behind him, 20,000 surface troops were watching his war with an indifferent attitude. Prince Enrique also knew that the mysterious god was watching to see whether the Chaos Dwarves could demonstrate their value and whether the Chaos Dwarves were worthy of his training.
Don't be a coward!
It's not easy to get close to a reliable god. The imperial hegemony is today. I, Enrique-Zar, will make the dwarves of the Underdark great again!
"Come! Get it!"
After losing nearly 300 people, the Spider Riders noticed the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Chaos Dwarves, which was almost catching up with the Drow. The Drow commander, who was wearing a full body armor of high-gloss mithril, quickly noticed the figure of the Chaos Dwarf King Zaar. Without saying a word, he raised the flag high, and the Spider Riders regrouped in the cold wind of the Underdark.
Come! Get it!
While a round of volleys was finished and the Chaos Dwarves were still reloading, the Spider Riders charged again and took the Chaos Dwarf King's flag!
A few earth elves used their fine arms to block the spiders, while the Derro Dwarves and Bugbears completely collapsed. These Chaos Evils could only fight with the wind. Once the situation was unfavorable, they would immediately flee.
"Second-class people are second-class people, pure waste." Prince Enrique laughed loudly and clapped his hands.
An elite Chaos Dwarf Corps of 300 people came on the field.
The Purgatory Guard (Broad-bladed Musket) Corps is the 300 sets of top-level equipment that Prince Enrique exchanged from Aaron for more than 2,000 drow heads.
Full body heavy armor, long-barreled explosive muskets, and a broad-bladed bayonet on the barrel, which is specially used to bleed the opponent.
Compared with the Derro Dwarves, the Chaos Dwarves are cold and cruel. They did not make any sound from beginning to end. Facing the rushing Spider Knights, their only action was to reload.
Seeing the Chaos Dwarves' equipment, the Drow Knights were under great pressure.
Rose, where did these dwarves get their equipment? Why are they so strong? ! Laduguer doesn't have this level of equipment!
Could it be that Enrique sold the ditch to Moradin?
It must be!
Knight Captain Fermin's forehead was sweating. He knew he couldn't retreat. The hundreds of cavalrymen under his command were here to die. Only if they all died gloriously in battle, his family would be looked up to by the mistresses. Only if they made some achievements, his family would be free from being liquidated by the mistresses!
"Charge!"
The remaining two hundred spider knights summoned up their courage, shouted the name of Rose, and fearlessly rushed towards the Chaos Dwarfs' army.
A spider has eight legs, a head and a mouth.
Then more than two hundred spider knights charging would have more than a thousand legs. The shouts of the drow warriors and the hissing of the spiders overwhelmed the silence of the Underdark, and it sounded like the might of thousands of troops!
The Chaos Dwarfs stood still.
Cold, cruel, and arrogant.
The drow knights were greeted by a volley of muskets, and all the Purgatory Guards had their fingers on the trigger.
However, drow are drow after all. Are the drow knights of Menzoberranzan just people who have a reputation for nothing? During the charge, the spiders opened their mouths wide, and pieces of spider webs rose into the air, covering the entire Chaos Dwarf line at a precise angle. The sticky spider webs greatly hindered the Chaos Dwarfs' shooting angles, and even stuck to their armor and muskets!
The Purgatory Guards collectively misfired.
However, Prince Enrique had fought against the Drow many times before, so he was not surprised by this scene. The Purgatory Guards' shooting was blocked, and they immediately began to form a dense formation. Each Chaos Dwarf Guard shouldered his shoulder and used his body to cover his compatriots. The round shield was held up, the front row supported the back row, and the broad-bladed bayonet was revealed, making it impossible for the Spider Knights to find a chance to break through the defense!
The Spider Knights were also experienced. After charging to the limit, they were able to slow down quickly. They forcibly separated left and right before hitting the bayonet formation, and forcibly bypassed the Chaos Dwarfs' bayonet formation from both sides!
The tactical game between the two sides was extremely exciting. After all, the two sides had fought for more than 10,000 years in the Underdark. Sometimes they were allies, sometimes they were enemies, and they knew each other very well.
But just after they passed through the Chaos Dwarfs' line, the Drow Knights' luck ended there.
Behind the Chaos Dwarves, the Cormier army was lined up to meet the enemy. Alicesel sat on a half-griffin and waved her hand, and the Purple Dragon Knights swept from top to bottom.
In the end, the Drow Knights were completely wiped out.
"Is this the Whip of Rose?"
On the wall of Menzoberranzan, Trill-Bane and Gonfu-Bane saw the last drow knight being dragged off a spider by Nuso and stabbed to death. Gonfu-Bane murmured to himself, "This is going to be difficult."
"Don't be afraid, my brother." Trill-Bane smiled and patted the wall under his seat.
"What you are under is Menzoberranzan, the first strong city in the Underdark that has protected us for ten thousand years!"
"Even if Lolth's Whip has a million soldiers, it is difficult to cross the city."
As if responding to the words of the mistress, as soon as Trill-Bane finished speaking, the scouts hurried to report.
"Madam, a large army of underground gnomes appeared in the northwest!"
"An army of orcs appeared in the south. Look at the flags. They are the orcs of Gruumsh!"
"Mountain giants and wretch giants appeared in the southeast!"
"Emergency in the east. The army of the Dilro dwarves is attacking the Obloza family!"
"The shield dwarves and the surface gold dwarves in the northeast are entering the battlefield. The Shulenlet family is ready to defend the city!"
"The Mind Flayers and their slave army in the west are approaching."
"Madam, what should we do?!"
The brother and sister's faces were livid.
This is a betrayal, a naked and shameless betrayal!
Ross, have you really abandoned us?
To the north of Menzoberranzan, Alicesel and Aaron were also discussing this matter.
After destroying the drow knights, the drow undoubtedly gave up the battle outside the city and instead held on. The Chaos Dwarves tried to attack three times, but nothing was gained except leaving more than a thousand corpses, while the drow defending the city only lost more than a hundred people.
The Chaos Hell Cannon was useless. Gonfu Banre led his disciples to shoot down the Hell Cannon fire one by one. The demon souls that Aaron had stored might not win in this war of attrition.
Alice Sel quickly determined that even if the 100,000 troops of Cormier were brought in all at once, it would be difficult to break through the defense line of Menzoberranzan directly after a whole year of attack, let alone the 20,000 Cormier troops.
"Aaron, this won't work. I brought my people here, and it would be best if we could bring them back intact." Alice Sel said softly to Aaron, who was standing next to her: "We can bear certain losses, but we can't sacrifice 20,000 people here, right?"
"Don't worry." Aaron touched his chin and motioned to the queen of Cormier to look behind: "The attack is just to cover up my next plan."
"Of course I know that there is no point in attacking Menzoberranzan by force."
"If you want to break the city, I have another trick."
Alice Sel stared at the large stone sculpture that was more than 30 meters high behind him.
"Is this the statue model of the Dark Girl? She's stepping on... the Spider Queen?"
"Yes." Aaron's eyes were filled with the fire of Tzeentch, and he quickly injected the power of the four gods into the stone sculpture: "I want to give Menzoberranzan a little Eilistraee shock!"
