Without any warning, Pattilina launched her attack.
A dazzling flash of light flashed in the dark underground world as though a sharp blade had torn through the darkness.
At the next moment, along with the explosion of flames, the incomparably sturdy gray dwarves' city wall was instantly enveloped in cannon fire.
The city wall that was sturdy enough to resist magical bombardment shook under Pattilina's attack. The cannonball tore through the outer protection of the gray dwarves' city wall mercilessly and smashed into the depths of the city wall like a hammer.
Under the violent shock wave, the thick and heavy city wall suddenly swelled up. In the next moment, a deafening explosion accompanied by a scorching storm gushed out, like a fountain spreading in all directions.
In just an instant, a huge hole appeared on the solid gray dwarves' city wall.
The soldiers stationed on the wall also turned into unbearable fragments like the scattered stones, flying in all directions.
Witnessing Pattilina's powerful attack, the holy knights cheered.
On the other hand, the morale of the gray dwarves plummeted rapidly.
They had never seen such a powerful cannon attack in the Underdark. The gray dwarves' city wall was their honor and pride, but a single attack from Pattilina had turned their honor into nothing.
But this wasn't the end.
Countless meteors streaked across the sky, crashing into the rock formation above the gray dwarves' heads.
In an instant, sparks flew in all directions. Smoke and dust mixed with broken rocks fell like a torrential downpour.
At this moment, the gray dwarves had long lost their previous bravery and fled in all directions to avoid the disaster that fell from the sky.
At this moment, Locus raised his sword high. Shortly after, a holy light descended from the sky and enveloped everyone in it.
"Warriors of the God of War, pick up your weapons and show your bravery to the great God of War!
In the name of holiness, we shall annihilate these evil monsters hiding in the darkness. Justice shall prevail! "
As the Holy Knights charged into Brandon Stone City, a new chapter of the war had begun.
The entire Brandon Stone City had fallen into chaos.
Although the gray dwarves' powerful combat power could ensure their safety, they couldn't ensure that they could patrol every corner of the city.
In the Underdark, racial reproduction and population base would always be their biggest weakness.
Even with the gray dwarves' powerful combat power, they could only ensure the safety of a fixed line of defense. Once the other party adopted a strategy of multiple attacks, the gray dwarves would be left with no choice but to fight blindly.
Let's not talk about how exasperated Cadrick would be when he learned that the frontline had been breached. Meanwhile, at the back of Brandon Stone City, in a quiet place that corresponded to the noisy battlefield, a series of black shadows quietly slipped past everyone's eyes and entered the governor's mansion.
"Who would've thought that Cadker would actually send everyone out."
Jenn leisurely strolled into the luxuriously decorated hall, his eyes shining with a golden radiance swept across the surroundings.
In an instant, the secret passage that the gray dwarves had meticulously designed was completely revealed under the [Eye of Evil]'s scan.
Behind him, the aliens silently crawled into the tunnel and the ceiling. They let out a nightmarish growl and slowly spread out in all directions, bringing with them the stench of death.
They surrounded Jenn like the most loyal guards, as though their subjects were crowding around their evil king.
Jenn stretched out his hand.
The luxuriously decorated fireplace turned into powder in the face of the surging magic power, and the fatal traps hidden within disappeared without a trace before they could even take effect.
The gray dwarves' proud defense had been completely destroyed by Jenn's merciless attack, leaving only a pitch-black passage in front of Jenn — the path to wealth.
But this was only the beginning.
Just as Jenn stepped into the tunnel, the pitch-black eye sockets of the metal statues that were used as decorations on both sides of the corridor suddenly shone with a faint magical radiance. At the next moment, they straightened their bodies and brandished the weapons in their hands, launching a merciless attack on the enemies who trespassed into the gray dwarves' holy land.
Facing the attacks of the gray dwarves, Jenn snickered coldly and snapped his fingers. At the next moment, the roaring undead swarmed forward and clashed with the golems.
The ancient golems weren't afraid in the slightest in the face of these death gods.
After they were created, their only mission was to destroy and protect.
Even if the undead's sharp claws tore through their bodies, even if their blade-like tails severed their sturdy limbs, they would still resolutely choose to move forward and fight.
That was the meaning of their existence.
The golem raised its sword and slashed at Jenn with all its might. But before it swung its sword, a flickering lightning bolt erupted from Jenn's hand and struck the 'transformer' that was as tall as two men.
At the next moment, along with a thunderous explosion, the enormous golem flew backward and crashed into the wall, instantly turning into a pile of scrap metal.
Shortly after, Jenn passed through the tunnel guarded by the golems and arrived at the treasure vault beneath Brandon Stone City.
Unlike the protective net filled with golems, this place was a long, narrow bridge.
At this moment, before Jenn, there was only a long, narrow bridge that seemed to be made entirely of steel.
On the other side of the bridge, there was a steel door that was forged in the shape of a Gray Dwarf's face, gazing at him silently. The radiance that seemed to transcend time seemed to be able to see through everything.
If this were a Hollywood movie, in order to pursue artistic effects, perhaps Jenn would have to disarm the traps like Indiana Jones and search for clues to open the treasure vault based on his knowledge of history. After a series of dazzling adventures, he finally opened the door to the treasure vault.
But it was a pity that reality and movies were different. Even though Jenn didn't have the key to the door and didn't know how to open it, it didn't matter because he had more convenient methods.
"Squeak!"
Two Goblins shrieked and ran over from behind Jenn. They bowed respectfully to their master, turned around, and walked onto the steel bridge. They swung their arms and jumped vigorously. No one knew what they were doing except for Jenn.
In the Dungeon system, the Goblins were the weakest but also the most important race.
Though they were as weak as chickens, they were the only ones who could occupy land and make it the Dungeon's territory.
Without the Goblins to expand Jenn's territory, no matter how powerful his subordinates were or how powerful their Mana Skills were, it would all be in vain.
"Weng …!"
Along with a soft sound, a scarlet radiance appeared on the edge of the steel bridge. At the next moment, rows of sinister symbols appeared on the empty steel bridge. The eye sockets of the huge door that was connected to the steel bridge also flickered with a dazzling scarlet radiance, replacing the original yellow magical radiance.
At the same time, on the map of the underground city forces in front of Zayen, another bright red area appeared.
"Very good."
Jenn nodded in satisfaction at the Dungeon map. He walked across the steel bridge and strode towards the door of the treasure vault.
This was the strongest defense of the Gray Dwarves. Only the Gray Dwarves with ancestral bloodline had the right to enter this place. They would be tested by their ancestors, and only after passing the test would they have the right to enter the treasure vault.
If any thieves dared to barge in, the steel bridge would turn them into meat jerky and turn them into ashes.
But now, the owner of the steel bridge had changed.
With Zayen's arrival, the steel door that was originally tightly shut let out a "clatter" sound. Then, it opened its mouth wide, and the iron chain that was as thick as a thumb trembled as it rotated and contracted, pulling open the extremely sturdy and heavy door made of adamantine.
Then, the disc-shaped, marble inner door slid to the side silently, respectfully presenting the treasure that had been sealed inside to its new owner.
"Not bad …"
Walking into the treasure room and looking at the treasures placed in front of him, Zayen could not help but sigh softly.
In terms of wealth, there were also plenty of items excavated from the ruins of Morzerath.
But from the perspective of an archaeological dig from the ruins and admiring the neatly arranged treasures in an intact treasure vault were two different types of enjoyment.
Glittering gold coins filled the entire treasure vault like a dazzling golden carpet. On the walls decorated with Adamantine and Mithril hung the unique style of the Gray Dwarves, powerful weapons and armors that flickered with magical radiance.
Amidst the neatly stacked treasure chests, there were also colorful pendants and gloves embedded with gems.
There were also cloaks weaved with gold and silver threads and strangely shaped jewelry.
Apart from that, the most precious item was the scroll in the middle of the treasure vault. It recorded the ancient forging skills of the Gray Dwarves, construction methods, and the manufacturing methods of metal objects that had been lost in history.
It seemed that the concept of priceless technology was the same no matter which era or world it was.
"Take everything back."
Jenn casually ordered and allowed the Goblins to frantically plunder everything in the treasure vault. Then, he turned around and walked towards his target — — a bust that was placed in the middle of the pile of treasures.
On the bust was a man with a solemn expression and eyes wide open. His glaring eyes seemed to be filled with anger at all times, as though he was trying to destroy everything in his sight.
"That's it."
Jenn picked up the bust and observed it carefully. Needless to say, he could feel the waves and incomparably powerful energy coming from within the bust.
The tornado-like energy seemed to be able to engulf everything that came close to it and completely tear it apart.
But what attracted Jenn's attention wasn't the hidden energy within the bust, but a line of words engraved below the holy throne.
And this line of words showed the hidden essence of the bust.
"War. War never changes."
Zayen narrowed his eyes as he muttered the words on the wall.
He already knew whose Saint Image it belonged to.
