Chapter 648 Invasion
The anger of the Spider Queen is floating in the Underdark. Almost all drow elf matrons and high-level priests, no matter which city they are in, have been affected by the anger and will of the Queen.
This shocked many drow elves. There had been attempts to resist or even rebel against the God Queen before, but their fate was tragic without exception. Of course, some drow successfully escaped the clutches of the Spider Queen and became followers of Eilistraee.
But those are only a handful.
Such a rebellion of an entire city is unique in the history of the drow!
What happened?
Why does this happen?
Many drow elf matrons were confused, but also very uneasy. Many of them have lived for hundreds or thousands of years and have never encountered anything similar in their experience. The Underdark is very dangerous, so there are few frequent exchanges between drow cities. Only some caravans or ambassadors serving as diplomatic envoys travel between drow cities.
Because of this, when the matrons of Vanadim City learned that an army of drow was approaching them, they could hardly believe their ears.
A war between drow? This is crazy!
The Spider Queen won't allow it!
The Spider Queen appreciates betrayal and chaos, but all of this must be done in secret, and any honest war is not allowed. This is also one of the "social justice" of the drow elves. Even the war between two families must be limited to the locations of both parties, and it must be ensured that no one is discovered. Then the war between the two cities is even more so!
"Here comes the Spider Queen, what on earth is this?"
Mother Tina stood on the city wall with a gloomy face, holding on to the railings with both hands, looking ahead - in the huge open space ahead, an army was slowly approaching them. That was the army of drow, but...it wasn't just drow.
Mother Tina could see that the drow soldiers led by them looked very strange. Their bodies became twisted and strange, and even tentacle-like limbs grew on their arms. Their faces have also lost the original handsomeness of the drow, and have become like spider heads. When they open their mouths, it feels like a spider is swinging its mouthparts.
Not only that, Mother Tina also saw many dangerous creatures in the underdark, such as the Basilisk, a terrifying monster that can petrify its prey just by looking at it and has three pairs of claws. Logically speaking, basilisks will attack almost all other creatures in the Underdark, even illithids and drow.
But now, they seemed to be part of this army, lingering on the flanks of the battlefield with eager eyes. And Mistress Tina also discovered that these basilisks seemed to have undergone some strange changes. Several eyes bulged out like blisters on their heads, and they kept rotating in the sunken skulls. Mistress Na felt sick to her stomach when she saw it.
What the hell kind of army is this? What on earth is this?
Mother Tina could hardly understand what she saw. She was certain that even devils and demons would not do such horrific acts. And the appearance of these drow elves now makes people feel even more frightened and uneasy.
They are drow, but they are not just drow.
What exactly are they?
Just as Mother Tina was thinking, she saw the army suddenly separate, and then a magic floating disk slowly moved forward, with a drow priest standing on it. From the appearance, she does not seem to have become twisted and weird like other drow elves, but Matron Tina feels that this priest seems to be more dangerous than others.
However, now is not the time for her to back down. Mother Tina walked to the high platform, stared at the other party, and roared loudly.
"Are you the commander of this army? Tell me, where do you want to go with such a huge drow army? Why did you come to Vanadim?!"
"Dear sisters, I am Fairy, the messenger of the Spider Queen!"
Feierui raised his hands, stared at the city wall in front of him, and shouted loudly.
"I came here to spread the power of the Spider Queen!"
"………………"
The people on the city wall looked at each other in confusion. They had expected to see a madman who mocked the Spider Queen, or a heretic who spurned her. But they can be sure that the unswerving faith in the Spider Queen coming from the matron named Fairy at this moment is as crazy and devout as them.
So why did the Queen of Gods say that she had betrayed him?
"I don't understand what you mean! Sister, this is not your city! Moreover, we know and respect the Queen of God very well..."
"No, you don't understand!"
However, before Mother Tina could finish her words, she was angrily interrupted by Feieri.
"What you believe in is not the real Spider Queen, but a traitor who has usurped the Spider Queen's power and status! And I am here to let you experience the real power and glory that belongs to the Spider Queen! You will You will understand that the power of the real Spider Queen is far beyond that of that fake one!”
“……………???”
At this moment, the way Mother Tina looked at Feirui completely changed, as if she was looking at a madman, and everyone else was no exception. They had never heard anyone dare to say such blasphemous words! What a joke! No priest would say such a thing! In their city, anyone who dared to say such things would have died long ago.
Or worse than death.
But…………
"I don't know what you mean, sister. We believe in the Spider Queen..."
"Fool!"
Tina tried to comfort Feierui, but as soon as she spoke, she saw Feierui suddenly changed her face and roared. At this moment, Tina finally understood that the priestess was not only crazy, but also completely crazy. Her apparent sanity does not exist at all. She is a lunatic who does not understand human language!
"I will let you understand the true power of the Spider Queen, not the charity of the betrayer!"
As he spoke, Fairy raised his hands.
"Kill her!!!"
At the same time, Mother Tina felt a huge black shadow suddenly pass over the hollow. She hurriedly waved the Hydra Whip and chanted loudly to try to block this sudden attack. However, at this moment, Duanmu Huai had already jumped heavily from above, and stepped directly on Mistress Tina's slender body with two feet, trampling her into pieces. At the same time, Duanmu Huai raised his war hammer and swung it hard, and in an instant he would be standing on the ground. The other people around Mistress Tina were knocked off the tall city wall.
"Let this city enjoy the glory of the Spider Queen! Let them understand the true glory!"
Fairy raised her hands in excitement. Following her movements, a strange, twisted black stone tablet with bright red runes all over its body suddenly broke out of the ground and stood among the army. Then Fairy stared in front of her. In the drow city, the flames in his eyes grew more and more.
"Attack!!!"
For the drow elves of Vanadim, they have never encountered a siege from their compatriots. It would be fine if it were evil monsters or dragons in the underground. But when their compatriots launched an attack on the city, During the attack, many drow priests were a little distracted and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Especially when the supreme ruler of Vanadim, Mother Tina, the drow who had ruled the city for fifteen hundred years, died in front of everyone so easily, they were even more shocked. He was so shocked that he couldn't even lift his own snake-head whip.
But the drow have lived in battle all their lives. Although the situation in front of them is a mess, they still instinctively intend to protect their city. Soon, the priest began to chant divine spells, and the drow soldiers holding rapiers and crossbows climbed onto the city wall and launched an attack on the attackers below, shooting poisonous arrows coated with poison. However... the situation was far beyond the expectations of these drow elves.
The poisonous arrows that could easily poison a huge creature hit the mutated drow, but they showed no reaction. On the contrary, these drow were covered with arrows, and then they came to the high wall. He twisted his head, tilted his head and looked up, opened his mouth - revealing a forked, snake-like tongue.
Then I saw these drow soldiers holding long swords in their hands, using their hands and feet together, climbing up the city wall like spiders, and rushing upwards quickly.
"What the hell are these monsters!"
Seeing this scene, the drow guards on the city wall were even more shocked. They threw away their crossbows and drew their swords. At this moment, the first batch of attackers had already rushed onto the city wall.
Seeing the appearance of their compatriots at close range shocked the drow soldiers even more. The dark vision of the drow elves can ensure that they can clearly see everything in front of them in dim conditions. Of course they saw those mutated Compatriots, their faces are torn, their mouths are wide open like the mouthparts of spiders, their tongues are hanging out with sticky saliva, their sharp teeth are full of the entire mouth, their eyes bulge from their sockets like toads, It turns left and right as if it has self-awareness.
And the tentacles waving on their arms are even more shocking.
Especially considering that they were once the same race as himself, even the hard-hearted Drow warriors felt an indescribable fear at this time.
Well, the SAN value is -1.
However, the battle must continue.
The drow warrior silently pulled out his long sword and swung it at the prey in front of him. The drow's swordsmanship was exquisite, and he could clearly see his sharp blade piercing the opponent's heart. Then the mutated drow threw himself on the city wall and turned into a corpse. After the drow warrior was sure that it was dead, he turned around and prepared to face the second enemy.
But at this moment, something strange happened.
The corpse of the mutated elf that was stabbed through the heart by the drow warrior's sword suddenly began to tremble, and then its body began to swell, and its dark skin cracked, revealing the white muscles inside. It stood up again and opened its hands - - Two scimitar-like bone spurs burst out from its palms, and then the mutated drow roared and pounced on its prey again!
This time the drow warrior had no time to defend. He waved his sword in a panic, trying to force the opponent to get out of the way. However, even though the drow warrior's weapon penetrated his chest, the mutated drow that had turned into a corpse still did not stop. He directly knocked down the prey in front of him, then opened his mouth and bit hard on the drow warrior's neck.
"Wow!!!"
With the last scream, the flesh and blood of the drow warrior's neck was torn open by the Necromorph, and he screamed and died - but soon, the dead drow warrior's body also began to tremble, and then... again Mutations.
What the hell is this! ?
This scene is constantly being staged on the city wall. The drow soldiers responsible for guarding the city can kill the mutant drow who seem to be crazy and almost losing their minds. However, the next moment, these mutant drow killed by them will They will turn into corpses and stand up again. This time, neither poison nor arrows will have any effect. These furious corpses will tear everything in front of them into pieces, and those outstanding people killed by them will You elves will soon join this undead army.
Of course, the priests responsible for guarding the rear saw this scene, and they regarded it as the effect of some evil necromancy. Soon, some priests began to pray, and after obtaining the magic to expel the undead, they were released. However, even the magic used to expel the undead had no effect on these necromorphs.
After all, strictly speaking, they are just a bunch of moving pieces of meat.
This puzzled the priests and priests, but unfortunately, they also failed to escape their fate.
Drow elves with wings and turned into servants of the old gods descended from the sky. They twisted their snake-like bodies, screamed and pounced on the priests and priests behind them, entangled them directly, and flew high sky, and then threw it hard against the ground.
The corpses of the priests fell to the ground, and their screams ended the moment they were caught by the servants of the old gods.
Fairy stood proudly on the magic floating disk and slowly flew into the city. In the square in front of her, many matrons were standing there in full armor, glaring at her - and her. The dark, tall structure behind him.
"What you did has offended the Spider Queen! Foolish traitor! You will eventually taste how terrible the Spider Queen's anger is!"
One of them screamed, and the hydra whip in her hand shook with her roar.
"I am the Spider Queen's most loyal servant, you are just poor people deceived by Rose's lies!"
Facing the angry accusations from the drow matrons, Feierui sneered, and Duanmu Huai, who was standing behind, suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar.
Well, if the "Rose" in Fairy's mouth is replaced by "Pseudo Emperor" and "Corpse Emperor"...
Good guy, the traitorous legion is actually myself?
.........It doesn't matter, Rose isn't the Emperor anyway.
That's okay.
"There is no way you are a match for the Spider Queen, go to hell!"
Soon, the matrons raised their hands and began to chant. A powerful magical barrier appeared in front of them, which was enough to withstand all attacks. At the same time, a terrifying divine spell of destruction was brewing in the hands of these matrons, which was obviously a gift from Rose.
"Extremely stupid!"
Faced with the powerful magical spells prepared by these mistresses, Fairy smiled instead of angry, and then she raised her hands.
"You will understand what the true power of the Spider Goddess is!"
"——————!"|
As Fairy's voice fell, suddenly, the drow mistresses felt an unspeakable strong stimulation. The feeling almost burst out from their bodies, making their souls unable to help themselves at this moment. He was so distracted that he seemed to be soaring into the sky and fell into the inevitable extreme joy.
The joy brought by that moment even made them roll their eyes, tremble their bodies, and instinctively open their mouths, wanting to vent their pleasure. However, at the next moment, when the out-of-control magical power began to flow backwards, these matrons seemed to I suddenly woke up from that sweet dream and came back to my senses.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
An indescribable fear captured their hearts at this moment. The drow matrons opened their eyes wide in horror. They saw everything in front of them twisting and deforming, and the city they were familiar with turned into a mass of flesh and bones. , like a hellish scene. On the ground, countless mouths and eyes with sharp teeth were opening towards them, and their spirits collapsed under these indescribable and unexplainable strange scenes. Their mental barriers were inevitably shaken and broken... ……
The next moment, madness completely enveloped these matrons.
