Chapter 574: A show of force


The underground nobles have expressed their willingness to surrender, so half of Xu Lai's idea of ​​becoming the underground king has been completed.

The other half depends on the conditions of both parties and whether they can be negotiated.

After the dungeon conveyed the proposal of surrender to Xu Lai through Reina, Xu Lai stopped next to a main city that he had just arrived.

This is the underground city camp. The city that never sleeps is one of the famous twelve main cities. It is also the top three economically important city in the underground city.

It was precisely because based on Xu Lai's movement route that the underground nobles believed that this was the next target chosen by Xu Lai, so they couldn't wait to beg for mercy.

Among the twelve major cities, the cities where Queen Moriel lives all year round must be the most important.

However, Darkhor has already been attacked by Huohuo, and the front of Rena's army is also directed at Darkhor.

If the Nightless City is also ravaged by Xu Lai's Doomsday Judgment, the entire dungeon camp will be greatly affected. This is an unbearable loss for the dungeon camp.

Xu Lai stopped and told the underground nobles through Reina that he was outside the city, waiting for them to pay their respects, and would only give them 12 hours at most.

The arrival of people was a little faster than Xu Lai expected.

There are many races in the dungeon camp. Under Moriel, there are also tribal leaders and powerful nobles such as the city lords of the twelve main cities.

Xu Lai originally wanted the people in the dungeon to call all these guys and do it all at once.

However, the people in the dungeon were much more urgent than he thought.

No way, Xu Lai didn't even get close to the city along the way, he just set a fire near every city he encountered.

So, Xu Lai had no idea what kind of damage the two or three fires a day had caused to the dungeon in the two weeks before and after.

Although the underground nobles look down on low-level creatures like cavemen, they cannot afford tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of deaths every day.

In addition to the cavemen, there were also many dignitaries and their relatives who died inexplicably under a fire.

Not to mention, Xu Lai’s Doomsday Judgment brought terrible losses to the underground city’s economy and supply system.

Almost as soon as Xu Lai set up camp and sent out Fire Elemental and Jian Yuan, Ji Long and others were responsible for patrolling and guarding, senior officials from the underground city immediately came to see them.

The visitor was a representative of the city that never sleeps not far away. The city lord did not dare to come in person, so he sent out his two deputy city lords, an evil eye and a harpy witch.

Of course, Xu Lai had no time to pay attention to them.

If someone comes here and he comes to receive one, he will be annoyed to death.

Roland, on behalf of Xu Lai, stopped people directly and told them to get out.

By the way, Roland also told them that they were not qualified to see Xu Lai due to their status.

Even their city lord, unless he can make the decision, don't come.

After what they said, the two deputy city lords looked particularly ugly, especially the harpy witch.

Different from the harpy witches in the recruitment force, among the harpy tribe, the queen and the witch are both very high-status beings.

Especially the queen, who is the only one in the entire tribe. Other harpies, even if they reach the level of queen, cannot use this title.

The Harpy Witch, who is only one level lower than the Queen, may not be very powerful, but as a spell caster, she is considered to be one of the smartest people in the dungeon.

As long as these people leave the tribe, they can find a good position anywhere.

Ever since she became the deputy city lord of the Evernight City, she had never been so angry that she wouldn't even let in.

But there was nothing he could do to get angry again. The people in the underground city didn't have much contact with the outside world, but at any rate Xu Lai wandered underground for two weeks.

In addition to the last time he came, the information around Xu Lai has already been discovered clearly.

Xu Lai was surrounded by top soldiers, either top knights or top angels. Except for the recruited fire elements, any one of them could kill both of them on the spot.

If people are arrogant, they have the capital to be arrogant.

No, the top brass of the entire underground camp have now been forced to shake hands and make peace. Even after shaking hands and making peace, they still can't beat Xu Lai.

Although both of them are deputy city lords, they are not qualified to participate in important matters concerning the life and death of the underground camp.

After sending away the two men, the knights and angels in the camp all moved into the tents that had been set up.

Of course, the Eye of Detection and the Eye of True Sight have already been deployed near the camp.

Coupled with the several waves of fire elements summoned by Xu Laiduo, the area was so crowded that there was no need to worry about anyone sneaking in.

There are only a few days until the end of the month, and Xu Lai wants to reach an agreement with the underground clans as soon as possible.

But the more anxious you are, the less you can show it.

Otherwise if others knew that Xu Lai was in such a hurry, he might not be able to agree to some conditions.

During this period, although he locked himself in the tent, he was not fooling around with Elvi, but was thinking seriously.

On the map, which territories he wants to allocate to himself, and which wild buildings require the people from the dungeon to help him occupy and recruit.

Just counting the number of these wild buildings and the personnel that can be recruited is not an easy task.

In addition to outdoor construction, Xu Lai also needs to roughly estimate the output of outdoor resources.

Of course, this cannot be estimated accurately. After all, the only stable things are minerals, and the resources carried by wild monsters are extremely unstable.

In addition, Xu Lai is very unfamiliar with the cities in the underground city. He does not know how much their various levels of cities can produce each month, nor does he know whether there is a city that conceals the existence of Moriel.

Xu Lai couldn't even find anyone to refer to, because even the dungeon people themselves didn't know how many assets they had to provide to Moriel every year.

There is no way, except for the people in the dungeon who can figure things out clearly, except for witches and magicians, the rest of them can be considered outstanding if they can read.

The only valuable information that the captives can provide is that it is certain that Moriel will take away most of the harvest of the major tribes.

It’s just that for most of the gains, the specific figures cannot be verified.

The only thing that can be verified is the records in the temple data. The underground city camp once handed over 2 million gold coins and 50,000 units of gems + crystals and other rare resources as tribute to the empire every year.

Don’t think about it, this amount of money is nothing compared to what Moriel collected.

Moreover, it is clearly recorded in the data that the Supreme King of the Empire at that time levied a light tax on the underground city in order to show his benevolence.

At that time, not only the dungeons, but also the nobles and civilians of the entire empire lived a good life.

But as the empire decayed, nobles from various places gradually appeared and levied their own private taxes on the underground city through the underground passages in their territories.

This is also an important reason why Moriel was able to rise in the underground city in the future and quickly rule the entire underground camp.

After the dungeons were unified, they not only turned against the empire, but also continued to plunder the empire's resources, allowing the undead and demons to see the empire's weakness.

Therefore, this number is not of much reference to Xu Lai.

Anyway, Xu Lai is not satisfied with the collection at this level. At least he is sorry for his self-proclaimed underground king title. After pondering for a long time in the tent, taking Moriel's territory map and reading it over and over again, and memorizing all the information on the surface, Xu Lai had many things to do.

Only half a day later, a large group of dungeon racers from the underground city were already heading toward Xu Lai's camp.

Roland narrowed his eyes, put one hand on the hilt of the sword, and took off the spear attached to the horse with the other hand.

There were many people coming to the underground city, and everyone was armed. Roland would not let these people get close to Xu Lai under any circumstances.

Just when Roland had assembled the guards and was about to charge and kill these guys, Elvi stopped him and said:

“Don’t do this, let me do it.

If you just rush over, those dungeon people will probably think that this is a trap, and it will not be easy to negotiate with them in the future. "

Say it, Elvi. As soon as he flapped his wings, he flew out like a cannonball.

Elvi's actions shocked the dungeon people.

But fortunately, Elvi went there alone, and the dungeon people who came were all elites of the underground camp, so they were not afraid of a Seraph.

After Elvi landed, she glanced around and frowned: "There are too many of you. Keep all the guards and weapons outside."

A tall tauren suddenly He said loudly: "There are only so many of us. Besides, we are going to your territory. What if you want to do harm to us."

Elwee sneered and said to the tauren with disdain:< br>


"Don't use words like yours. If it's harmful to you, I can kill you all by myself."

The tauren seemed very unconvinced, but Elvi calmly took out from her space backpack, He took out the dragon head that could not be transformed back.

"You all know this head. She died by my sword, and she was guarded by tens of thousands of black dragons.

If you think your head is better than hers, If you still want to fight against those black dragons, you can come over and give it a try.”

Elvie has her own storage space, and the trophies she has obtained alone are naturally like Moriel’s head. For her own collection.

The dungeon dwellers present were basically certain that Moriel must be dead and was killed by Xu Lai.

However, after all, they were not able to confirm it in person, nor were they able to see Moriel's body.

But at this moment, the originally aloof Dragon Queen now only had one head left, and it was just slipped into someone's hands, showing off as a trophy.

They could not have imagined that the female angel in front of them, who looked a little weaker than the average Seraph, was actually a terrifying existence that could kill Moriel amid the protection of tens of thousands of black dragons.

The tauren who spoke before, under Elvi's calm and cold eyes, swallowed and threw away the golden ax in his hand.

Minotaurs and minotaurs are the only underground race that Xu Lai admires.

These guys don’t know how to be afraid, but this tauren is obviously very rational and knows that what Elvi said is true.

If they really fight, this group of people may not be the opponent of Elvi alone.

This plainness and confidence are by no means blown out.

Even he can charge with high morale even when he knows he will die.

But neither inside nor outside, I can never be so calm.

What's more, the head that they dare not forget in their dreams is now nakedly displayed in front of them.

Since they do have the ability to kill them, what difference does it make if they have weapons or not.

The force representative in the team was the first to throw away the weapon, and the rest had no choice but to throw it away.

There were only a few magicians who seemed reluctant to part with the staffs in their hands. They cautiously said to Elvie:

"Lord Angel, our staff has no killing power. Can you let us bring it in?"

Elwee's eyes narrowed, and she waved the sword in her hand. The sword light was before everyone could react. I had already crossed it before coming here.

The sword strike just now was fast and decisive. Even though the dungeon dwellers present were all elites, few of them could react.

This is especially true for those sorcerers. With extremely low agility attributes, they would have no time to take any action even if they sensed it.

But fortunately, Elvi did not harm them, she simply cut off their staffs.

With the power of these magicians, it is a bit tiring to hold a staff made of wood, and it is impossible to use magical metals such as mithril to make staffs.

The durability of a staff made of wood cannot withstand Elvi's sword edge.

The magicians who spoke out had their staffs cut off by Elvi almost in an instant.

"You can bring it in now, is there anyone else you want to bring?"

Although the staff has no physical damage ability, it can greatly increase the magician's casting speed.

Some advanced staffs can also seal some spells that can be released instantly, which is a relatively big threat to Xu Lai.

Elvy didn't even allow them to bring swords and other weapons, so how could they be allowed to carry staffs.

Of course, doing this will not prevent them from carrying weapons unless they can also remove the storage equipment on them.

But this is not realistic unless Elvie has people search them one by one.

But even if it is a body search, it may be missed, especially since Elvie also discovered that there are heroes coming in the crowd, and they have space backpacks

Although they look similar to dungeon people, their temperament, equipment and clothes make them unique at first glance.

So, there is no point in searching, but if you ask them to throw away their weapons, if they want to attack, there will always be an extra process of taking out the weapons.

With this abrupt process, Elvi can respond faster and understand their purpose.

Otherwise, each of them has a weapon beside them. Whether they are saluting or moving their bodies, the weapons may move abnormally.

It was difficult for Elvi to judge whether such a strange movement was a normal action or an aggressive attack.

The level of the magicians is not low, and the staffs they can hold are naturally not bad either.

Now three of them were cut off by Elvi at once. Although not all of them were destroyed, it was not that easy to repair them.

The others were reluctant to part with their staffs and hurriedly stayed on the ground, hoping to pick them up when they came back.

Elwee nodded and said: "Throw down the weapons, throw down the guards, and then you can go over."

A magician who was probably the leader didn't care. Feeling sorry for his staff, he stammered:

"But they are all the heads and important officials of the major tribes in the dungeon."

Elwee frowned and said in an unquestionable tone:

"I don't care about this, you can do it yourself After discussion, in short, the number of people who can enter can only be one-third of the number here." (End of Chapter)
