Chapter 560: The Sorrow of the Cole Elves (8000)

"This is impossible! What happened? How could they breach the city gate!"

"Hurry up and mobilize the reserve team. We must block them."

"How come they are so fast? We don't even have time to attack!"

"Where is the caster? Why haven't you done anything yet?"

"Hurry up and activate the mystery lock!"

"Be careful with these gray dwarves, their vanguard is very strong!"

"Request support quickly!"

"..."

Cole Elf's panicked voice continued to echo in Black Crow Castle.

Faced with the sudden and brutal attack, many of their preparation plans failed to work, and they faced the most brutal hand-to-hand combat.

Facing the gray dwarf heavily armored warriors with astonishing defense, the Cole elf warriors who used attack as their main means of attack were unable to cause fatal damage to them in a short period of time.

This also led to the fact that when the gray dwarf warriors rushed into the city in a swarm, the Cole elf warriors were quickly forced in front of them.

For a moment, the hammers and axes of the gray dwarf warriors could finally be used on the Cole elf warriors.

Swords clashed, flesh and blood splattered.

The peaceful and silent castle just now turned into a battlefield with shouts of killing Zhentian.

There were a large number of gray dwarf warriors, and they quickly surrounded the Cole elf warriors.

Despite occupying a favorable terrain, many Cole Elf warriors still fell every moment.

Seeing that the Cole elves suffered heavy losses.

The entire city has rushed in with nearly 7,000 gray dwarf warriors.

They are launching an attack on the city wall, preparing to capture this vital part.

Aware of the huge danger, Commander Cole Elf decisively issued the order to attack with all his strength.

"Deploy the steel golem, fight the puppets, activate the city wall defense, and be sure to protect the city wall and the Lord's Mansion."

A faint fog began to spread around the city.

A touch of pressure and threat spread around the gray dwarf warriors.

Large steel golems rushed out from between the wooden houses and slammed into the gray dwarf warriors.

They are armed with heavy weapons such as hammers and armor, are large and burly, and are loaded with a variety of war skill programs.

The gray dwarf warriors fought with him and were immediately at a disadvantage due to their size and strength disadvantages.

At the same time, the wooden wall quickly began to change, and moving vines grew, lashing and entangling the gray dwarf warriors who were attacking upwards.

One fireball after another continued to explode among the gray dwarf warriors.

The huge destructive power caused a large number of casualties among gray dwarf warriors.

The elven spellcasters hiding in the mist are constantly venting the anger of their spells.

The attack of the gray dwarf warriors was blocked. Although they were not afraid of death, they still failed to capture the city wall.

Looking at the growing vines, entangled and blocking the opening of the gate, the second prince Kreize, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but ask:

"The Cole Elf has already taken action. Is it time to use the reserve team?"

Shaking her head without hesitation, Sera continued in a calm tone:

"Don't be anxious. They are the ones at the disadvantage. You can't put too much pressure on them, lest they jump over the wall."

"Leave them a glimmer of hope, and then ruthlessly extinguish it..."

Hearing this, the second prince Kraize couldn't help but shudder. After nodding, he said nothing more.

Then, he heard Sera ordering the soldiers to attack the outer city wall.

Thousands of dwarf soldiers who had not yet entered the city threw a large amount of fire oil at the city wall.

Snap!

Wow!

The vines that whipped over hit them accurately, showing a very strong defensive ability.

But what was broken was the jar of fierce fire oil, and the thick fierce oil was still stuck to the city wall.

Before the Cole elf warriors could react, the gray dwarf warriors fired rockets one after another according to their training.

Whoops!

The ignited flames, like fiery red monsters, quickly spread to all directions of the city wall.

The waving vines were swallowed up by the fire, dancing and struggling wildly, and finally burned to ashes.

The interior of the city wall exudes a light green light, and the parts burned by the flames are constantly being repaired.

Obviously, the seemingly simple wooden wall on the front is not as fragile as it appears.

However, the raging flames made it difficult for the Cole elves on the city wall.

The scalding heat wave made them very uncomfortable.

The gray dwarf warriors who had adapted to this temperature withstood the Cole elves' shooting and spell coverage. Under the leadership of several super dwarf warriors, they rushed to the city wall regardless of casualties.

The sudden change immediately shocked the Cole elf commander.

He saw that the gray dwarf warriors had a clear division of labor.

Some gray dwarves wearing heavy armor and holding large shields withstood the attack of the steel golem with their flesh and blood.

Even if they suffered heavy losses, they did not flinch.

The gray dwarf warriors who were guarded at the rear, holding a series of highly lethal enchanted crossbows, suppressed the elf warriors on the city wall.

The gray dwarf warrior commandos, who were quite tenacious, continued to attack even though they were seriously injured.

The gray dwarves' casualties had reached thousands in just over 10 minutes, but they still had high morale.

Moreover, some gray dwarf snipers specifically targeted the elf spellcasters.

They did not attack blindly. They waited until the elven spellcasters relaxed their vigilance before covering the latter's position with fire.

The crossbow arrows shot by the gray dwarves were very scary. Not only were they so fast that people could not dodge them, but they also had the property of breaking magic.

Two of the three crossbow arrows could penetrate the magic barrier.

The elven spellcasters who did not react immediately suffered.

He saw with his own eyes that four elven spellcasters died because of this.

The commander of the Cole elves felt uneasy. The fighting will and fighting style shown by these gray dwarves caught him off guard.

Fortunately, the Cole elf warriors were indeed elite and blocked the gray dwarves' expansion, but they paid a greater price in casualties.

The elf spellcasters were also much more cautious and moved to cast spells.

Fortunately, the iron golem was indeed strong and withstood the gray dwarves' attack on the inside of the castle, and also caused considerable casualties.

Although the situation became much more dangerous, it was still within the controllable range.

The commander of the Cole Elf was very worried about the subsequent measures of the gray dwarves, and he resisted the urge to let the reserve troops take action.

He thought very clearly that the situation had reached this point, and it was almost impossible to rely on Black Crow Castle to defend it alone.

The next step was to hold on for a longer time and wait for the arrival of rescue.

The commander of the Cole Elf believed that as long as he held on for about 3 hours, the nearby elven cities and towns would send people to support him.

The only thing that made the commander of the Cole Elf feel uneasy was whether the legendary spellcaster hidden in the dark was planning a more terrible spell.

But gradually, the commander of the Cole Elf realized that something was wrong.

He was a little horrified to find that the dwarf warriors with greater casualties had stronger resilience than the Cole Elves.

Even though the casualties were close to 2,000, they were still launching a fanatical attack.

Inside the underground passage.

From time to time, there were sporadic gray dwarf teams rushing out.

They passed through the city gate surrounded by the wall of fire and joined this fierce battle.

What surprised him even more was that the gray dwarf warriors who were injured in the battle soon rejoined the battlefield.

He stared at the battlefield carefully, and then he discovered the secret of these gray dwarf warriors to keep fighting.

Ordinary injuries were ignored.

Once the injury was too serious, the gray dwarf warriors would drink alchemical potions.

They recovered from their injuries in a few seconds and continued to fight vigorously.

Although they suffered heavy casualties, the actual number of deaths was only eight or nine hundred.

Because of this, the commander of the Cole elves misjudged their number.

He suddenly realized that the loss of the Cole elf warriors had reached an unbearable level without knowing it.

Every Cole elf warrior on the front line was injured and was forced to retreat step by step by the gray dwarves.

On the ground of the city wall, the corpses of the Cole elf warriors made the commander of the Cole elf shocked.

The pressure of the frontal battle was so great that it was about to collapse.

No!

Can't hold on any longer!

The commander of the Cole elves gritted his teeth, looked at the burning walls and the soldiers who suffered heavy casualties, and issued an order very decisively:

"Increase the effect of the maze, curb the opponent's spellcasting ability, and order the soldiers defending the walls to retreat and come back to defend the inner castle."

Under the cover of the elf spellcasters and the maze mist.

The Cole elf warriors arranged more than 100 warriors to cover the rear, and then retreated in the entanglement and attack of the gray dwarves.

The seriously injured Cole elf warriors hurriedly fled back to the inner castle.

At this time, they were not as elegant and chic as usual, with messy hair, broken armor, panic, and very embarrassed.

When the commander of the Cole elves counted, he trembled with heartache.

3,000 Cole elf warriors, 700 of them died in just half an hour of fighting.

Also, nearly half of them were injured. Fortunately, the inner castle had sufficient supplies, and there were two druid masters and four senior priests.

The wounded elf warriors can recover as quickly as possible, and after a simple rest, they can continue to fight.

However, the death of more than 700 people still makes the commander of the Cole Elf feel hopeless.

He knows that even if he defends the Black Crow Fortress, he is likely to encounter terrible punishment from the parliament.

After thousands of years of recuperation and development and expansion, the population of the Cole Elves is no longer as scarce as it was at the beginning.

However, the sacrifice of hundreds of casualties at one time is still a huge loss that the elf troops cannot accept.

Even in the Eastern Front battlefield where the battle was fierce and the number of soldiers involved was as high as hundreds of thousands, there was no example of more than 500 casualties at one time.

What's more, these elf warriors guarding the Black Crow Fortress are all elites with excellent talents, and they are used as seeds for the cultivation of basic commanders.

He failed to detect the hidden dangers inside the passage in time, which led to the large-scale invasion of the gray dwarf troops, resulting in such huge casualties.

It will be a huge blow to his future.

More importantly, the backgrounds of these elf warriors are not simple at all. Most of them are children of the elf family. Imagine their network of relationships, and the commander of the Cole Elf feels a headache.

Even now, he is still worried about his future.

But he is completely unaware that the real danger is approaching Black Crow Castle.

The gray dwarf warriors rushed forward, and after suffering considerable casualties, they bit off the city wall.

They poured fierce oil on the city wall, set fire to suppress the growing vines, and firmly grasped the city wall.

Contrary to the expectations of the Cole Elf Commander, the gray dwarf warriors who took the city wall did not launch an attack immediately.

They also concentrated their forces to strangle more than 10 steel golems.

Although more than 10 steel golems were powerful, they only lasted a few minutes before being demolished in the face of the siege of the elite gray dwarf warriors.

After all, without the suppression of the Cole Elf Warriors, the gray dwarf warriors could unscrupulously exert their military advantage.

Afterwards, the gray dwarf warriors still did not attack the inner fortress.

They unscrupulously demolished the elf wooden house in front of the fortress, and under the suspicious gaze of the elf warriors, they forcibly vacated a large space.

Then, one large siege machine after another was taken out of the storage space by the gray dwarf warriors.

Tall and mighty siege equipment, gray dwarf snipers hidden in various places of the house, and gray dwarf crossbowmen forming a shooting array.

The well-organized siege arrangement brought considerable pressure to the Cole elf warriors.

Even though they still had confidence, they still felt very dangerous and had a bad premonition in their hearts.

The commander of the Cole elves looked at the completely different gray dwarf warrior troops, and waves of doubts and puzzles emerged in his mind.

Where did these gray dwarf warriors come from?

Why are their combat capabilities so outstanding?

How could there be wood that can be used to make siege machinery such as siege vehicles, well sledgehammers, battering rams, and catapults in that barren place in the underground world?

Could it be that it was cultivated through magic?

If so, then they invested too many resources in this attack!

Seeing that the siege machinery had been assembled, the commander of the Cole elves felt quite a headache.

How to deal with them?

Do you really have to use that method?

Just as he was hesitating, the gray dwarf crossbowmen in formation had already pulled the trigger.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The crossbow arrows that flew in unison brought considerable pressure to the Kor elf soldiers on the city wall.

They quickly hid, not wanting to take the attack head-on. In the previous fight, they had already seen the lethality of the crossbows of the gray dwarves.

They could only dodge!

Crack!

Bang!

The rotating metal crossbow arrows drilled into the stone, and the flying and jumping gravel made the pupils of the Kor elf commander shrink.

He reached out and grabbed the crossbow arrow, pulled it out and took a look, and said in a somewhat unwilling tone:

"Even the crossbow arrows are enchanted, these guys are not ordinary gray dwarf troops!"

Realizing this, it only brought him greater mental pressure. The screams of the Kor elf warriors shot by the crossbow arrows in his ears constantly stimulated his nerves.

What to do?

The trump card that had been hidden in his hand was the last hope to hold the scene at the most dangerous moment.

If they were to attack now, and the other side took out unsolvable means, the inner castle would be in danger.

Thinking of this, the commander of the Cole elves felt very regretful.

If he had known this earlier, when the city gate was breached.

He should have ordered the Cole elf warriors to attack with all their strength and then retreat directly to the inner castle.

This would preserve the living force to the greatest extent, and several spellcasters would not be sacrificed, and there would be more preparations to deal with the approach of these siege equipment.

Looking back now, the commander of the Cole elves felt a little scared. The other side seemed to have grasped every thought of his and calculated his orders to death.

The only thing to be thankful for was that because of the confrontation and delay of the Cole elf warriors, the civilians in the Black Crow Castle had already retreated to the inner castle.

This was also the reason why the soldiers suffered heavy losses but did not have too many complaints about him.

The second prince Krezer, who had explored the situation clearly outside the city, had a little shock in his eyes.

He never thought that the other side could fight such a battle command that maximized the losses.

Looking at Sera on the side, he also began to look forward to and be excited.

"Maybe, we gray dwarves can really gain a place in the material plane..."

Although he was still a little disappointed, the second prince Krezer understood very well.

Only by taking down the Black Crow Castle and achieving the most critical step of the plan can we consider the future.

Sera, with a calm face, didn't know that the second prince Krezer had "surrendered", but even if he knew, he wouldn't take it too seriously.

Sera, who knew the underground world very well, naturally understood the gap between them and the Gulf Territory.

From the moment the two sides came into contact, the gray dwarves had already stepped into the road paved by the Gulf Territory.

It is destined to be a road that can only go to the end!

If they are "obedient" enough, they can naturally enjoy the beautiful future promised by the Lord.

If they have other ideas, then Sera doesn't mind changing a guy to lead these gray dwarves.

The Gulf Territory can't give up!

"Go according to the original plan. As long as we eat them, those guys can appear."

Sera checked the weapons and equipment in a serious manner, issued the final combat order to the second prince Krezer, and then turned and walked into the fog.

Seeing her leaving back, the second prince Kreize, who felt a lot of pressure, turned his head and stared at the inner castle wall fiercely.

He is not an easy character to talk to.

Facing the stronger and more capable Gulf Leader and Sera, he suffered a lot.

Now, he can vent his feelings on the other person.

From the moment the Cole elf commander saw Kraze appear in the gray dwarf formation.

He then realized the other party’s identity!

Staring at the silver-gold shining armor on his body, Commander Cole couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and muttered in a somewhat unbelievable tone:

"Having formed such a powerful elite force, has he unified all the gray dwarf forces?"

"What happened to the dwarf kingdom? Did they give up on their own initiative, or were they completely defeated?"

"There are obviously no signs of fighting on these dwarf warriors. Their weapons and equipment are all brand new. What is going on in the underground world?"

Numerous and complicated thoughts lingered in the mind of the Cole elf commander.

Unfortunately, the outcome of the war was quietly determined in his thoughts.

The second prince Kreize raised his war hammer high, and the surging electric power flashed around him.

"By taking down this wall, we can get rid of the darkness of thousands of years and come to the surface world of prosperity and stability."

"Our descendants will no longer have to endure hunger, darkness, and cold. We will have a brand new future!"

"Army attack!"

As the loud shouts of the second prince Kraize spread, the red-eyed gray dwarves rushed forward with howls.

But just when the Cole Elf warriors were preparing to challenge, they were quickly dumbfounded.

The first people to come into contact with them were not these high-spirited gray dwarf warriors, but the huge rocks that crossed a distance of nearly 200 meters, jumped onto the 8-meter-high city wall, and roared at them.

"Boom" a loud noise!

The entire city wall shook, and the swaying boulders did not hit any Cole Elf warriors.

However, the terrifying force made every Cole Elf warrior turn pale.

Not to mention the flying rubble, which made it difficult for people to dodge, killing and wounding more than 10 soldiers.

Although no one was killed, the tremendous pressure made people's scalp numb.

No one can guarantee that when they are distracted in a trance, terrifying boulders will fall from the sky and crush them directly into pulp.

What worried Commander Cole Elf even more was that the terrifying impact of the boulders landed firmly on the inner castle wall.

Judging from the power of the shock, the destructive power is indeed astonishing. If the catapults continue to bombard the city wall, it is very likely that the city wall will collapse.

At that time, the casualties may still be trivial, but the blow to the confidence of the defending soldiers will be the real destruction!

Before the Cole elf commander could think of a countermeasure, the crossbow arrows that continued to fire were roaring and covering him.

"ah!"

"Hide quickly!"

"help me……"

"Well……"

"..."

There was a loud noise, and more than 10 Cole Elf warriors who were anxious to avoid the boulder were instantly hit by crossbow arrows.

Listening to their screams one after another, the other Cole Elf warriors broke out in cold sweat.

If they raised their heads, they might be shot by crossbow arrows; if they didn't, they would be smashed into pieces by boulders. The panic left them at a loss.

The double covering blow made them completely unconcerned and focus on preventing the gray dwarf warriors from approaching.

They can ignore it, but Commander Cole cannot but take it to heart.

But when he looked at the Jinglan car and the rushing car getting closer and closer, his hands and feet felt cold for no reason.

While he was in a daze for more than ten seconds, a group of gray dwarf warriors quickly approached the city wall and tore apart spell scrolls.

Under the influence of the Mystery Lock, the shackles that prevented the smooth release of spells were broken by their money tactics.

Five-ring spell-like walking on flat ground!

More than 10 gray dwarf warriors immediately stood out from the other gray dwarves and stepped onto the city wall first. Their whole bodies were suspended in the air and they stood firmly on the edge of the city wall.

The more than 30 high-level gray dwarf warriors behind them also jumped up and followed closely behind them.

On the sentry tower that was crumbling due to the bombardment of boulders, the dizzy sentry accidentally saw this horrifying scene and shouted loudly:

"They're coming up, be careful!"

The hearts of the Cole Elf warriors froze. They turned their heads sideways and looked out of the corner of their eyes. They saw the Jinglan Car that was still forty or fifty meters away, and doubts arose in their minds.

Haven't you come here yet?

Realizing that something was wrong, the Cole Elf commander rushed to the city wall at extremely fast speeds.

He swung his sword to split a flying crossbow arrow, and subconsciously looked down the city wall.

More than 10 gray dwarf warriors who were stampeding on the city wall and running wildly were already "running" up, surrounded by flashing electric lights.

The lightning was not close yet, but the hair-raising thrill instantly made Commander Cole's mind go blank.

Before he could react, the ashes of thunder surged all over his body. In the horrified eyes of the Cole Elf warriors, he swung the heavy thunder hammer and hit the ground hard.

Bang!

The surging arc of electricity, like a ferocious blue giant beast, rushed forward in a flash.

The branches branching out in all directions, like tentacles with teeth and claws, flew towards the Cole elf warriors wearing metal armor.

In the flash of lightning, more than 20 Cole Elf warriors twitched and fell to the ground.

The other Cole Elf warriors were horrified, staring at the dazzling ashes, feeling the powerful aura of his extraordinary peak, and immediately aimed at him and shot with arrows.

Ashes roared, raised his shield to protect his head, and ran straight towards the gorgeously armored Cole elf commander.

To shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first!

The continuous arrows only scratched out sparks on the shield and armor.

This scene fell in the eyes of the Cole elf commander, and he felt that he was being stared at by a terrifying beast.

Facing the ashes that were speeding towards him, he resisted the idea of ​​rushing forward to fight and shouted to the guards around him:

"Hold him!"

As a commander, directing operations is his first priority. He has passed the age of being brave and ruthless.

Of course, Commander Cole Elf was more worried that if he lost to the fierce gray dwarf warrior in front of him, the defensive battle would be completely defeated.

The heavy losses were acceptable, but he was the only one who was unlucky.

But Black Crow Fortress must not be lost!

This is not only the glory of the family, but also the key to the Cole Elf Kingdom!

Bang!

The two extraordinary elf warriors took two steps back in shock.

Seeing that Hui Jin was just a little slow and then continued to charge at him, he endured the tingling in his wrist and gritted his teeth and pushed forward.

Seeing that the violent momentum of Ashes was stopped, the Cole Elf warriors on the city wall took a long breath.

But they were happy too early!

More than a dozen gray dwarf transformed warriors covered in lightning rushed up at the moment they relaxed, and the entangled surging electric grid spread densely around them.

Just for a moment!

The criss-crossing lightning knocked down hundreds of Cole Elf warriors.

Their whole bodies were twitching, tingling, numb, and they lost control of their bodies and even became incontinent.

The gray dwarf transformed warrior has not officially entered the transcendent realm.

But their strong combat power makes their average challenge level as high as 18+!

The average challenge level of these elite Cole elves is only 11+!

The gap between the two sides is too big!

The gray dwarf transformed warriors gathered together dispersed and attacked without hesitation.

They ran towards every location where the Cole Elf warriors gathered, doing their best to disrupt their formation and attract their attention and firepower.

The Cole Elf warriors, who were unable to withstand the impact of lightning, could not stop the progress of these transformed warriors, even with the emergency spell shield of the Elf casters.

There is a huge difference in the basic attributes between the two sides.

The gray dwarves' extraordinary strength of more than 20 points is enough to crush these Cole elf warriors who are not known for their strength.

In just 30 seconds.

The Cole Elf warriors in this section of the city wall were in huge trouble.

More than 200 Cole Elf warriors were knocked down. Most of them were still alive, but they had lost their combat effectiveness during this period.

When more than 30 high-level gray dwarf warriors braved the city wall.

What I saw was the surprise scene of these Cole Elf warriors falling to the ground in a mess.

They quickly followed the predetermined plan, divided into six groups holding heavy steel shields, and began to advance to the left and right sides.

The Cole elf warriors who were confused were no match for these gray dwarf elites. They were killed in an instant and abandoned their armor.

Commander Cole, who was stunned by a series of combo punches, immediately shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Spellcaster, deal with them!"

The sound, which was slightly distorted due to its high pitch, immediately spread throughout the entire city wall.

The gray dwarf warriors were startled, and they were sincerely worried and afraid of the mysterious spellcaster.

However, today is an exception!

"ah……!"

The shrill screams stopped suddenly!

The elf caster who had just screamed violently because his heart was stabbed had his head ruthlessly chopped off.

Sera appeared in the shadows, wielding an invisible and sharp light sword, and instantly struck another elf caster next to him who was unable to dodge!

Mana barrier!

broken!

Flame shield!

broken!

Natural protective barrier!

broken!

This elf spellcaster was just about to reach out and grab the emerald green leaf jewelry around his neck.

The sharp blade had already split off her head.

In her rotating gaze, Sera's ruthless face became the final image that solidified.

Around them, more than 10 gray elf assassins appeared from the shadows and had already completed their first sword show on the battlefield.

"No……!"

The heart-wrenching cry of the Cole Elf commander shocked all the Cole Elf warriors.

They couldn't help turning their heads and looked over, and saw that the spellcasters they had placed their last hope on were lying dead and injured in a mess.

Inexplicable fear emerged in their hearts, and several sets of superb combination punches had already beaten them into confusion.

Sera would not stand still because of their gazes. Like a gray gust of wind, it instantly rushed into the Cole Elf warriors.

Her slender body contains terrifying power, and the impact of slashing with the sword can split the Cole Elf warrior into two pieces, both human and armor.

The same goes for other gray elf transformed warriors.

They were ruthless and merciless. The old hatred had become a thing of the past, but the new hatred was endless!

The direction of their attack was also the location of the commander of the Cole elves.

The Cole elf warriors were filled with fear and were affected by the baptism of crossbows. They could not exert 60% of their strength and were knocked down by them like cutting melons and vegetables.

Bang!

The huge well-locked car hit the wall of the inner castle, and the gray dwarf warriors on it, howling, rushed down like a tide.

The battering ram below also began to show its power, hitting a dent on the city gate.

In a blink of an eye, the whole line was in danger!

At this critical moment, the commander of the Cole elves, who was in chaos just now, finally regained his composure.

He held the necklace without hesitation, and just as he was about to crush it with force, he suddenly noticed a terrifying scene.

His whole body was out of control at some point.

In front of him, Matthew, wearing a cloak, appeared in the open space abruptly.

The scepter raised by Matthew was lingering with the glory of time!
