Underground world, Sanatal city state.

This is an ancient city-state located in the upper level of the western region of the dark area, separated from the Blade City by an underground lake.

It is said that this dungeon was first established by the Dark Dwarf in the early days of the Silver Age and was destroyed in the war in the middle and late periods of the Silver Age. It was rebuilt by the underground dwarf on the original ruins three thousand years ago...

Like the Blade City located at the commercial node, Sanatal City State is also a commercial dungeon, with its structure very similar to the Black Rock City in the Deep Cracked Cave.

However, it is slightly different from the dark dwarves in the City of Blades that sell armor and swords for full-time sales. Although the city-state of Sanatar also sells similar equipment, the underground dwarfs here use the spider silk of the crypt spider to wove the mage robe in the underground world is even more famous...

Of course, this is also why the siege of the Dark Alliance army has become low intensities and players can no longer earn experience points quickly by killing undeads, but there are so many new players who still have to find a way to get a set of equipment even if they want to die last time.

Nothing else, the mage equipment is so delicious! And so few!

Of course, the players are happy, and the top leaders of Shanatar are not so happy.

At this moment, the current chief old dwarf Katra of the city-state was lying on the bed, looking at the Shanatar senior executives in front of him with a expressionless face.

Among them, there are the city-state's chief finance manager, intelligence officer, military minister, diplomat who hired elves foreign aid, and the next chief's successor, Doruru.

The city's defense war situation is obviously very good, but the atmosphere here is very solemn.

Everyone was facing the chief lying on the hospital bed and listened tremblingly to the report of the Chief Financial Officer:

"Chief Lord..."

The voice of the chief financial officer is very bitter:

"Since the elves joined the war, although our pressure has been greatly reduced, our expenditure has been rising at a terrifying rate..."

"In the week since the elves participated in the battle, we have exhausted all the spider silk robes and armor equipment in stock, and have owed more than 20 million pounds, as well as an additional five thousand sets of spider silk robes..."

"This... has been the income of our city for nearly twenty years."

Deadly silence.

Hearing this number, Katra's face suddenly turned ashen.

He coughed a few times, looked at the Military Minister and asked coldly:

"Tell me about the situation of defense wars, especially the situation of the elves."

The Military Minister was a dwarf. He nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Sir, the city defense is in good condition at present. After the elves participated in the battle, the casualties of soldiers were greatly reduced, and the pressure on defense was greatly reduced. However,... the casualties of the elves were a bit surprising."

As he said that, he paused and gave an amazing number:

"According to our statistics, over the past week, the elves have dispatched nearly 100,000 troops to participate in the war."

"Hundreds of thousands? This is impossible! At most, 20,000 elves defending on the city wall!"

Doru could not help but say in disbelief.

It was not until Chief Katra looked at him coldly that he shivered and closed his mouth awkwardly.

Then, the Military Minister explained:

"My Lord Doruru, the reason you see only 20,000 people is because these 100,000 people come to support one after another. Not only that, most of them are 'dead'."

"Dead?"

Doruru's expression was very wonderful.

He did not participate in the city defense war, and he was really not clear about the battle between the elves.

"That's right, but not all of them died in battle with the undead. Many of them died accidentally after falling down the city wall... but I prefer that they committed suicide."

Suicide? How is this possible?

Doru feels ridiculous.

Looking at Doruru's dull expression, the old chief snorted coldly and looked at the female intelligence officer of the city state:

"Shana, tell him what the news you've heard."

"Yes, Chief Lord."

The underground dwarf called Shana respectfully saluted. She looked at Dorulu, with a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes, and said lightly:

"We have found out the details of these elves and have already known the true situation of the defensive battle in the Blade City."

"These elves... originated from the surface. They abandoned the belief in the World Tree and believed in a goddess of life named Eve, who is said to control the two clergy of nature and life."

"It is said that this is a new god, who is suspected to be supported by the great Hela Crown and inherited the priesthood of the World Tree. Of course, there are also speculations that it is a true god incarnation created by the Crown of Death in the earthly world..."

"These elves are the relatives of the 'Goddess of Life', and they are not only numerous, but also have the ability to be immortal. Once they die, they will be resurrected in another place..."

"They changed their faith and seemed to change their temperament."

"During the defense battle of the Blade City, it is said that there were 80,000 elves participating in the battle, but the number of elves defending on the city wall was no more than 20,000 at the highest, which was similar to our city-state..."

"After the battle, the City of Blades owed huge amounts of gold pounds and equipment, and this was all paid to the elves."

"In addition, most witnesses proved that they saw familiar faces among the elves who regained the equipment to participate in the war, and many people suspected of receiving them..."

Goddess of Life? Immortal? Resurrection?

Doruru was stunned.

After the female intelligence officer finished the report, she stood respectfully aside.

The chief looked at the dull Doru, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

He covered his mouth and coughed a few times, sighed and said:

"The others retreated, Doru stayed."

The Chancellor of the Exchequer and others quickly retired, leaving only Chief Katra and his grandson Doruru in the room.

"Doruru, are you thinking about what's going on now?"

The chief said coldly.

Dorulu's expression changed and he gritted his teeth and said:

"I understand, we were put on a trick by these support elves! They were actually using their abilities to deceive our wealth!"

"madness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the chief roared angryly.

The old chief trembled with anger. He coughed a few times and said angrily:

"There are problems with these elves. Didn't you see it at the beginning?! Didn't you communicate with the messenger heading to Black Rock City?!"

"Although the City of Blades successfully defended against the attack, don't you understand their situation? Even if you don't know the specific information, don't you know how to inquire?!"

"When you don't understand everything, you easily sign an agreement with the elves like a Blade City. Isn't that stupid?!"

"These strange elves are as cunning as humans, but your stupidity is the biggest reason why our city-state is in the current situation!"

The old chief yelled angrily.

Dorulu looked flustered and looked down and dared not speak.

It seemed that he was tired, the old chief took a breath and shook his head deeply:

"Why……"

His voice was very tired.

After a moment of silence, the old chief looked at Doruru again.

This time, his eyes were very serious and serious:

"Doruru, I'm asking you now, what should we do next?"

After hearing the chief's words, Dorulu raised his head.

When he saw the city-state chief, who was also his grandfather's stern look, he subconsciously dodged a little.

But soon, he mustered up the courage, gritted his teeth and said:

"This is them cheating on us!"

"In this way... these elves have been repeating the process of death and resurrection for 20,000 people!"

"In this case, we have no need to pay the promised reward! Not only that, we should also recover the extra money we paid to them!"

After hearing Doruru's words, the old chief's face turned even more ashen.

He picked up a crutch in front of the bed, hit the other person's face with his backhand, and roared angrily:

"madness!"
