Chapter 740

Upper Underdark.

In the cave where the Obsidian Tower is located, teams of paladin knights lined up neatly in the open space under the tower. The blood elves rode straight on their bronze galloping horses, wearing enchanted armor, holding Avenger 47 in both hands, and carrying long swords on their backs. Sword, a row of grenades hanging from his tactical belt.

They form a team of twenty people, and five teams form a company.

There are four blood elves in each team whose weapons are different from others, two Rambo guns and two bazookas, the strength is obviously higher.

This is a battalion of the Knights of the Holy Gun, all composed of elite blood knights.

Battalion Commander Vandus stood in front of the queue, and the other five Stormcasters led their own companies. The atmosphere was solemn. Many blood elves were infected, and there was a trace of tension on their faces.

Although after more than two months of training, they have fully mastered the new weapons, become proficient in new tactics, have experienced many battles before, and have come out of the test of life and death, but before the battle, they still can't help feeling a little worried.

Besides, this is the Underdark region, and I heard that the enemy this time is the dark elves.

Those evil and dangerous drow!

At this time, several rays of light fell from the tower, revealing three figures.

One was a tall and strong young human, wearing mithril light armor and a large blood-colored cloak behind his back, with a gentle expression, but when the blood elves saw him, they immediately straightened up, feeling awe.

His Excellency Ren Augustus, the lord to whom all Holy Gun knights are loyal.

The other one is slightly shorter, beautiful and resolute. She also rides on a taller bronze galloping horse. The blood elves cast admiring glances at her. This is Your Excellency, the head of the Knights of the Holy Lance, Li Flynn* Countess of Light Song.

The last one is a dwarf.

The blood elves always hated dwarves, but they didn't dare to underestimate this dwarf, because the other party was a powerful king of the hill.

Livlin pinched the horse's belly lightly, and the bronze galloping horse gave birth to huge wings, which hung up in the air, allowing all the blood elves to see her.

"You knights."

Livlin's cold voice sounded, and at the same time her eyes swept over the blood elves, she said: "We have been loyal to the lord for nearly three months, and the lord gave us the blood of the sun, so that we will no longer have headaches, And the strength has greatly increased; the lord gave us new weapons, so that our combat effectiveness is stronger than before; the lord gave us mounts, so that we can soar in the sky; the lord also gave us a new home, so that we do not have to go into exile Outside. And what can we give the lord in return?"

Every word she said was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the blood elves, generating deep gratitude.

The last question made them feel even more ashamed.

Livlin didn't wait for the blood elf to respond, and immediately shouted loudly: "Only honor, loyalty and life are what we can repay to the lord. Now, the time has come."

"Glory belongs to the blood elves!"

"Loyalty belongs to the Knights of the Holy Lance!"

"Life belongs to Renne Augustus!"

Every time Livlin yelled, the blood elves responded even louder.

When they shouted that the glory belongs to Ren Augustus, their blood was boiling, their fighting spirit was high, and their emotions were completely encouraged. At this time, even if Ren ordered them to die, the Knights of the Holy Lance would execute it without hesitation.

Ren can't help but admire Livlin, she is good at motivating people's hearts, it's no wonder that many blood elves follow her to the death.

Costakin's expression changed slightly, and he muttered a few words. After he learned the purpose of Rennes' trip, he strongly demanded that the Three Hammers also send people to participate, but Rennes refused. Seeing the mighty power of the Knights of the Holy Lance now, the King of the Hill felt that Ren was partial to the blood elves.

Livlin cast a questioning look, and Ren nodded slightly.

"Set off!"

With an order, a team of bronze galloping horses soared into the sky and flew into the top hall of the Obsidian Tower.

Raistlin opened a passage on the tower's protective force field, and the teleportation array in the hall was also activated. The holy gun knights filed in, passed through the portal, and appeared in the dark cave. There are also Thunder Cast Heaven Soldiers who opened random doors one after another, leading to the outside of the stone wall.

The portal can only accommodate a team of Paladin Knights at most, and the duration of any portal is also limited.

It took more than ten minutes for the entire battalion to be transmitted.

There was no confusion during the whole process, and the five hundred holy gun knights also remained silent, only the slight sound of the bronze galloping horse vibrating, which seemed to be well-trained.

Rain, Livlin, and Kerstakin arrive last, coming out of the stone wall.

They were followed by two teams of tall Ultramarines.

As the most powerful legion under Rennes, the Ultramarines are only a reserve force this time, and they will only take action unless the Knights of the Holy Lance do not fight well.

Everyone looked up and saw the holy spear knights riding their mounts, hovering in the middle of the cave. In order to avoid leaving footprints and revealing the location of the teleportation array, Lei Zhutian soldiers begged everyone to fly in the air.

The company that arrived first had already flown out, scouting the way ahead.

This is the middle layer of the Underdark, located to the east of Menzoberranzan, the largest city of the dark elves, and only half a day away from Menzoberranzan.

The first battalion of the Knights of the Holy Gun was dispatched, and the target was the dark elves.

At the beginning, Ren, Kuilu, and Izzet agreed to rescue Elise's followers and those kind-hearted drows from the dark elf cities in half a year, and then teleport them to Gotham after they met The city settled down.

But now it has exceeded the agreed half-year period.

Not long ago, Ren received a magical message from Kui Lu. The process of rescuing the kind drow was not smooth, and encountered troubles in several cities. She and Izzet solved it with their strong strength.

The number of drow willing to go to the surface is much larger than expected, currently close to 2,000.

Especially in Menzoberranzan with a large population, in the past six months, because Izt and Kelly publicly resisted the brutal rule of Rose, the Spider Queen many times, many drows saw hope and took the initiative to come to the door to become Yili. As followers of Si, the priests of Moonlight Church also developed a group of believers.

However, several spies were among these new followers, and Kuilu's retreat plan was thus exposed.

After the ruling council of Menzoberranzan learned about it, it immediately launched a large-scale cleansing in the whole city. Kuilu and Izzet hid in the dark in time to protect most of the believers.

But the withdrawal plan was delayed.

Even the secret stronghold of drow rescued from other cities lurking outside Menzoberranzan was almost discovered many times and has been transferred three times.

Good Drow is now split into two shares.

Some of them were preparing to respond outside the city to avoid the enemy's search; the other part was trapped in the city, not daring to act rashly, and could not find the time to leave the city.

The longer it drags on, the more dangerous the drows will be, so Kuilu has to ask Ren for help.

Ren quickly made a battle plan.

His plan was simple, to attack Menzoberranzan directly, causing chaos for Elise's followers to flee.

It sounds crazy to attack a city of more than 100,000 people with 500 people.

Livlin was also taken aback at first, but she was relieved when she heard that Renn did not really want to conquer Menzoberranzan. Even though she had great confidence in the strength of the Knights of the Holy Spear, she was unwilling to suffer heavy casualties in the first battle after the formation of the legion.

Raistlin knew the way to Menzoberranzan, and so did the Stormcasters.

Soon after, fighting broke out ahead.

A patrolling group of gray lizard cavalry spotted the holy spear knight in the sky and saw the blood elf on horseback. Their eyes were red, full of greed and killing, and they charged without hesitation.

A storm of bullets greeted these vile drow.

da da da da...

After a burst of gunshots, the team of gray lizard cavalry fell to the ground in a pool of blood. They and their mounts were covered in blood holes, and they couldn't even reach within 200 meters.

The Thunder Cast Heaven Soldiers sent a few Holy Spear Knights down to make up their swords and collect the spoils.

Then move on.

After that, they would encounter patrols sent by Menzoberranzan City every once in a while, and their reaction without exception was to capture these surface elves alive and return them to slaughter them, dedicating them to Rose, the Spider Queen. The end was exactly the same, and they were shot and killed at a long distance.

Some of the dark elves tried to escape and report to Menzoberranzan, but those who ran on the ground were never faster than those who flew in the air, and were quickly overtaken and killed.

The Knights of the Paladin advanced towards Menzoberranzan over the corpses of their enemies.

Along the way, Ryan found that the number of patrols was much larger than before. Obviously, they were looking for the kind drow hiding outside the city.

The closer one gets to Menzoberranzan, the flatter the terrain and the more frequent the fighting.

There were many slaves in the mines and farmlands outside the city. After the Knights of the Holy Lance killed the dark elf supervisor, they rescued these slaves and let them escape for their own lives.

It took only three hours for the Knights of the Holy Lance to reach Menzoberranzan.

Coming out of a wide tunnel, the eyes suddenly opened up, and a city surrounded by high walls appeared in front of them. In the middle of the huge cave was a stone pillar supporting the sky and the earth. It was the Narbondel Hour Pillar. It was at its brightest at this moment, emitting red flames, illuminating the entire city, indicating that Menzoberranzan was at noon.

The gates of Menzoberranzan's city had been closed, and groups of drow warriors were running on the city wall, quite chaotic, and the sudden appearance of enemies caught them by surprise.

Between the walls of the city and the walls of the cave is an open space hundreds of meters wide.

The Knights of the Holy Gun came out of the tunnel and were immediately exposed to the eyes of the drow warriors. Immediately, there were bursts of curses from the city wall, full of obscenities and hatred.

"Surface elves!"

"These damn surface elves, they dare to go to the Underdark, they are looking for death!"

"I'm going to skin them, and then fuck them hard, let them taste the double taste of pain and pleasure, it must be very good, hehehe..."

"Ross on top!"

"attack!"

A female drow warrior appeared at the top of the city and ordered loudly: "Attack immediately! Shoot these surface elves and don't let them get close to the city wall. Mages, cast spells..."

Her order was interrupted by gunshots.

Da da da……

After seeing the situation clearly, Lei Zhutian soldiers ordered to open fire without hesitation.

Battalion Commander Vandus was the first to attack. He aimed his bolt gun at the female drow, and with a bang, her head exploded. Blood and flames swept around, killing all the nearby drow warriors, and there was chaos on the city wall.

The Holy Gun Knights had already lined up, and the blood elves in the front row pulled the trigger and started shooting.

Flames gushed out one after another, and countless bullets poured on the drow on the city wall. Most of the dark elves who failed to hide in time were headshot by bullets. In just a few seconds, most of the drows on the city wall died, and the little ones who survived by chance shrank behind the wall with horrified faces.

"Quickly activate the protective force field!"

"Hurry up!"

Drow shouted in despair, the spider temple in the city lit up with a light, and the rune circle carved on the city wall was activated.

A gray-black magic force field spread out.

Strong shadow energy flows on the hemispherical shield, protecting the entire Menzoberranzan inside.

Boom!

bang...

Almost at the same time as the force field opened up, several bazooka shells trailed the flames and hit the city gate. The deafening explosion spread throughout Menzoberranzan, and the protective force field that had just been stretched fluctuated violently. It seemed to be on the verge of falling, but finally stabilized.

"Pity."

"It's still a step late."

Seeing that the force field didn't collapse, the blood elves all felt bad, and they missed the best opportunity to destroy the city.

Immediately, they heard the order of the company commanders: "Bazooka, continue bombing!"

Each company has ten holy gun knights equipped with bazookas. According to the tactical manual, they cannot launch them all at once, but must take turns attacking according to the rhythm to suppress the enemy. When the whole battalion is fighting, the companies must cooperate with each other and cannot give the enemy a chance to breathe.

boom! boom! boom……

Every second, five shells were fired from different directions at the same point, that is, the city gate.

The sound of explosions continued.

The magic force field covering the whole city shook violently, and the ripples on the surface became bigger and bigger, just like the big waves in a tsunami, which never subsided.

A group of drow warriors rushed up the walls, refilling the defenses.

The condition of the protective cover made the faces of these drow warriors turn pale. Seeing the surface elves in the air outside the city, some drow warriors trembled in their hands and feet. If it weren't for the spider queen priests and legendary warriors to supervise the battle behind them, they would have already fled away.

Several figures flew from the city, coming from the Spider Temple, the Fighting Tower and the Noble District respectively.

Four drow, two men and two women.

They are all holy rank powerhouses, headed by the mistress of the first family of Menzoberranzan, Matron Baenre, the most powerful drow in the city, and also the chosen one of Lolth, the Spider Queen.

The other three drows are Archmage Grover, who is over 25th level; Daknaron, a martial artist in the fighting tower, a drow swordsman; and the third-ranked mistress of the Storize family, Marlos Storize, the 22nd level Archmage.

Mistress Banrei lived for an unknown number of years, but she didn't look old on the outside.

She was wearing a gorgeous robe, and her dark skin was as smooth as black jade, and her charm still remained.

Mistress Banre glanced at the Knights of the Holy Lance outside the city, her eyes were about to burst into anger, and she screamed, "Surface elves! Who gave them the courage to enter the Underdark and attack Menzoberranzan?"
