Dark Ruler - Chapter55

Time passed day by day.

Jenn didn't know what the humans were planning to do. But judging from the map, it was apparent that they had gathered a large number of troops and seemed to be planning to launch a vicious attack.

On the other hand, as the patrol team was attacked by the humans, the Gray Dwarf Archon was furious.

Jenn learned from Verna that Cadker had gathered all the Gray Dwarf troops in Brandon Stone City. It seemed like he was certain that the Black Agate City had lured the surface humans here to expand their influence!

One couldn't blame Cadker for having such thoughts. As the saying went, those who weren't of the same race were bound to have different intentions. Sometimes, the races on the surface and under the Underworld were like two different life forms on different planets and were extremely wary of one another.

Take the Black Agate City for example. They naturally thought that the humans who banished them from the surface were the most despicable.

But to the residents of the Underworld, even if the Black Agate City were to bite each other, they were still dogs.

No matter what, they couldn't turn into cats.

Therefore, even if the Black Agate City revealed its heart to the Gray Dwarves, claiming that they had a deep-seated hatred with the humans and that they wished they could annihilate all humans, the Gray Dwarves would think that the humans were lying to them.

The Gray Dwarves would only think that the humans were lying to them on purpose.

Of course, if the Gray Dwarves were willing to give up their freedom and dignity to become the Underworld's subordinates or slaves, it would still depend on their performance … But it was a pity that the Black Agate City apparently couldn't accept such 'equal treatment' with the Underworld. They would rather use their strength in exchange for equal dignity.

As for the Black Agate City, they seemed to be oblivious to everything that happened here. They rolled up their sleeves and continued to negotiate with the Brandon Stone City.

This was the limitation of the Underworld. Due to the unique characteristics of the Underworld, it was rare for there to be a large-scale, prolonged flow of people.

This also meant that it was difficult for information to circulate between people.

After all, even if one were to transmit information on the surface, one could still disguise oneself and proceed via a safe route.

But the Underworld was different. As long as one left the city's boundary, there were basically no safe routes.

In this case, it was extremely difficult for any city to obtain information from another city.

They could only rely on merchant caravans along the way or spend a huge sum of money to use magical communication.

However, the latter would never be used unless it was absolutely necessary, because no matter which city in the Underdark, there would be a department that specialized in checking the magical waves.

Once someone used magic to communicate with the outside world, their location would be exposed almost instantly.

Furthermore, this kind of communication was expensive, and only Mages specialized in Magic could use it. It was too restrictive, and ordinary people would not be able to use it.

Apart from that, the only way to obtain information about the other party was through Divine Oracles. However, such Divine Oracles were even rarer. Usually, only when a race or faction that worshipped a certain Demon King was about to be destroyed would the Demon King give a reminder in a good mood.

If they were in a bad mood, or if you served them uncomfortably, those Demon Kings wouldn't even bother with you …

Therefore, the current situation was that Black Agate City knew nothing about the appearance of humans on the surface and was still preparing to teach Brandon a lesson.

Brandon Stone City, on the other hand, believed that the humans were in cahoots with Black Agate City. They had already sharpened their swords, intending to teach these scum from the surface a lesson.

On the other hand, the humans didn't know about the existence of Black Agate City and only thought that the Gray Dwarves had launched an attack on them. In that case, they naturally wanted to avenge their compatriots and destroy the evil.

But even so, they would definitely not let the people from Black Agate City off.

The Gray Dwarves were considered a race in the Underdark and weren't well-known.

However, the people from Black Agate City were chased down from the surface by them. In terms of impact, the people from Black Agate City would definitely be much stronger than the Gray Dwarves.

Each of the three parties had their own thoughts, but in Jenn's eyes, he had no other intentions other than to take advantage of his social circle.

"It seems like the situation is really messy now."

Enoya stood quietly in front of the desk and listened to Zayen's explanation of the current situation. She also frowned and looked troubled.

"Master, what do you think will happen once the three parties meet?"

"That's hard to say."

Facing Enoya's question, Jenn spread his hands apart and shrugged.

"The humans definitely won't care about this. After all, be it Black Agate City or Brandon Stone City, they are all people of darkness.

As members of the Church of Holy Church, they naturally wished that they could wipe out all of these people.

And Brandon Stone City's attitude is also very firm. The Gray Dwarves are very stubborn. To them, Black Agate City and humans are all people of the surface. If the humans are to be wiped out, Black Agate City will also have to be attacked. To them, it would be best if Black Agate City could collapse … "

Hearing this, Enoya's eyes lit up.

"Then the only thing left is …"

"Black Agate City."

Facing Enoya's gaze, Jenn nodded.

In fact, from the start, Jenn's attention was on Black Agate City.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he was very close to Brandon City and had killed many elites from Black Agate City. Even their little princess had been captured by Zayen.

But in fact, in Jenn's plan, Black Agate City was actually the most likely force to submit to him.

The reason was simple. In the Underdark, Black Agate City was the one with the least foundation.

They came from the surface, and because of this reason, Black Agate City had not been recognized by the other forces in the Underdark.

And for a long time in the future, Black Agate City would not be recognized by the other forces in the Underdark.

In this situation, Black Agate City had to find a backer.

The Underground City was the strongest backer in the Gloomy Region.

No matter what, this was the demon king's palace.

If the other races in the Underdark wanted to cause trouble, they would have to think about how capable they were and whether they would anger the demon king they believed in.

After all, in the Underdark, the relationships between the demon kings were complicated. If they flattered the demon king, their entire family would be executed.

This was another reason why Zayen had his eyes on the Black Agate City. Currently, the three races in the Black Agate City did not have strong enough backing.

The Nagas believed in the Serpent of Wisdom Derian, the half-vampires believed in the Blood Queen Anassar, and the Teflin believed in the Lord of Darkness Sauron.

Among them, the strongest was Sauron, followed by Anassar, and lastly, Derian.

The Serpent of Wisdom, Derian, was a local tycoon. His words were still useful in his own territory, but outside of that damned swamp, no one cared who he was.

There was no risk in snatching believers from it, so Jenn did not have to worry.

As for Anassar and Sauron, they were considered overlords in the Underdark.

But the problem was … What were the half-vampires and Teflin?

Anassar was the Vampire Queen, and Sauron was the Lord of the Underdark. To them, only the vampires and the demons in Hell were truly under their jurisdiction.

On the other hand, half-vampires and Teflin were nothing more than hybrids with only half of their blood in their bodies. Yet, they were shamelessly sticking to them. It was as if they were a bunch of illegitimate children who came from an unknown place trying to mix into a legitimate family. Who would care about them?

If they were really that useful, any demon king could just say something, and Black Agate City would not be in such a miserable state in the Underdark.

Even Zayen suspected that it was these fellows' constant mumbling of prayers that annoyed the demon kings, so they deliberately caused them to end up in such a miserable state.

It had to be said that the people of Black Agate City were really pitiful. As dark people, they were not recognized by the demon king they believed in, nor by the other races in the Underdark.

From the top to the bottom, they were being bullied on both sides. It could be said to be extremely miserable.

It could be imagined that this time, Black Agate City would definitely be beaten by both the humans and Brandon City.

At that time, even if they wanted to say to Brandon City, "For the sake of the Underdark, help us brothers," it would probably be a cold reception.

Then they would be beaten back by the gray dwarves.

And this was exactly what Zayen hoped for.

Only by forcing them to a desperate situation, then Black Agate City would wholeheartedly surrender to him. Moreover, their desire to counterattack the surface was much stronger than the other forces in the Underdark.

The Mind Flayer never cared about the things on the surface, and the gray dwarves hated going out of the Underdark.

As for the dark elves?

Their hatred for the surface was just lip service. If the dark elves really left the Underdark and went back to the forest, they would not go!

As long as both sides had common interests and goals, then there would be no more problems between them.

"We need a positive script, Enoya."

Jenn raised his hands, stared at his adjutant, and made a gesture.

"Do you know?

This is how the legends of heroes on the surface began. In order to destroy evil, brave warriors plunged into the dark and evil abyss. They put in all their effort, lost many of their comrades, and finally destroyed the evil demon king … "Zayen paused for a moment, then winked at Enoa.

"The core of this story is that no matter how heavy the losses were, justice will eventually prevail over evil. Do you understand what I mean?

The glory of victory belonged to the Children of Light, the knights who believed in fairness and justice. It was because of their brave and fearless actions that evil was eliminated forever, and peace was restored to this continent.

I think this will be a very touching story. "

"Of course, Master."

After listening to Jenn's words, Enoya revealed her usual confident smile.

"Justice will prevail over evil. The warriors from the surface will definitely return in triumph."
