Chapter 648 Invasion

The Spider Queen's anger was spreading in the Underdark. Almost all the drow matrons and high priests, no matter which city they were in, were subjected to the Queen's anger and will.

This shocked many drow. There had been attempts to resist or even rebel against the Queen before, but their fates were all tragic. Of course, some drow managed to escape the Spider Queen's clutches and became Eilistraee's followers.

But that was only a minority.

Such a rebellion of an entire city was unprecedented in the history of the drow!

What happened?

Why did this happen?

Many drow matrons were puzzled, but very uneasy. Many of them had lived for hundreds and thousands of years, and had never encountered anything like this in their experience. The Underdark was very dangerous, so there was rarely frequent travel between drow cities. Only some caravans or ambassadors serving as diplomatic envoys would travel between the cities of the drow.

Because of this, when the matrons of Vanadim City learned that a large army of drow elves was approaching them, they could hardly believe their ears.

War between drow elves? This is simply crazy!

The Spider Queen will not allow it!

The Spider Queen appreciates betrayal and chaos, but all of this must be done in secret, and any war in the open is not allowed. This is also one of the "social justice" of the drow elves. Even the war between two families must be confined to the garrisons of both parties, and must be ensured not to be discovered. Then the war between two cities is even more so!

"Spider Queen, what on earth is this?"

Mistress Tina stood on the city wall, her face gloomy, her hands tightly grasping the railings, looking ahead - in the huge open space in front, an army was slowly approaching them. It was the army of the drow elves, but... it was not just the drow elves.

Mistress Tina could see that the drow elf soldiers in the lead looked very strange, their bodies became twisted and weird, and even had tentacles-like limbs growing on their arms. Their faces also lost the original handsomeness of the drow elves and became like spider heads. When they opened their mouths, it felt like a spider was swinging its mouthparts.

Not only that, Madam Tina also saw many dangerous creatures in the Underdark, such as the petrified lizard, a terrifying monster with three pairs of claws that can petrify its prey with just its gaze. Logically, the petrified lizard will attack almost all other creatures in the Underdark, even the mind suckers and drow elves are no exception.

But now, they seem to be part of this army, wandering around the flanks of the battlefield with a covetous look. And Madam Tina also found that these petrified lizards seemed to have undergone some strange changes. Several eyes bulged out of their heads like bubbles, and kept rotating in the sunken skull. Madam Tina felt nauseous just by seeing them.

What kind of army is this? What on earth is this?

Madam Tina could hardly understand what she saw. She was sure that even the devil and the demon would not do such a horrible thing. The appearance of these drow elves now makes people feel terrified and uneasy.

They are drow elves, but they are not just drow elves.

What are they?

Just as Madam Tina was thinking, she saw the army suddenly split up, and then a magic floating disc slowly moved forward, with a drow elf priest standing on it. From the appearance, she did not seem to be as twisted and weird as other drow elves, but Madam Tina felt that this priest seemed more dangerous than others.

However, now is not the time for her to retreat. Madam Tina walked to the 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 large drow army? Why did you come to Vanadim?!"

"Dear sister, I am the messenger of the Spider Queen, Firri!"

Firri raised his hands, stared at the wall in front of him, and shouted loudly.

"I came here to spread the power of the Spider Queen!"

"……………………"

The people on the wall looked at each other in confusion. They had expected to see a madman who mocked the Spider Queen, or a heretic who spit on her. But they were sure that the unwavering belief in the Spider Queen from the mistress named Firri was as crazy and pious as theirs.

Then why did the Queen say that she betrayed herself?

"I don't understand what you mean! Sister, this is not your city! Moreover, we know and respect the Queen very well..."

"No, you don't understand!"

However, before Mistress Tina finished speaking, she was angrily interrupted by Firri.

"You are not believing in the real Spider Queen, but a traitor who usurped the power and status of the Spider Queen! And I came here to let you experience the real power and glory of the Spider Queen! You will understand that the power of the real Spider Queen is far from that of the fake one!"

"………………???"

At this moment, the look in Mistress Tina's eyes when she looked at Firri completely changed, as if she was looking at a madman. Others were no exception. They had never heard anyone dare to say such blasphemous words! What a joke! No priest would say such words! In their city, anyone who dared to say such words would have died long ago.

Or worse than death.

But………………

"I don't understand what you mean, sister. We believe in the Spider Queen………………"

"Fool!"

Tina tried to comfort Firri, but just as she opened her mouth, she saw Firri's face suddenly changed and roared. At this moment, Tina finally understood that this priestess was not only crazy, but completely crazy. Her apparent rationality did not exist at all. She was a madman who did not understand human language!

"I will let you understand the real power of the Spider Queen, not the charity of the betrayer!"

As he spoke, Firri raised his hand.

"Kill her!!!"

At the same time, Madam Tina felt a huge black shadow suddenly passing over the top of the hole. She hurriedly waved her Hydra whip and chanted loudly to try to stop the sudden attack. However, Duanmu Huai had already jumped down from above, and his two feet stepped directly on Madam Tina's slender body, trampling her into pieces. At the same time, Duanmu Huai raised his war hammer and swung it hard, instantly knocking the others standing next to Madam Tina off the tall city wall.

"Let this city enjoy the glory of the Spider Queen! Let them understand the true glory!"

Fierri raised his hands excitedly, and with her movements, a weird, twisted black stone tablet with bright red runes all over the body suddenly broke out of the ground and stood in the army. Then, Philri stared at the drow city in front of him, and the flames in his eyes swelled more and more.

"Attack!!!"

For the drow elves of Vanadim, they have never encountered a siege from their compatriots. If it was those evil monsters or dragons in the underground, it would be fine, but when their compatriots launched an attack on the city, many drow priests were a little distracted, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.

Especially when the supreme ruler of Vanadim, Madam Tina, the drow elf who had ruled the city for 1,500 years, died in front of everyone in such an easy way, they were shocked and shocked that they couldn't even hold their snake-headed whips.

But the drow elves have lived in battle all their lives. Although the situation in front of them was a mess, they still instinctively planned to protect their city. Soon, the priests began to chant divine spells, and the drow soldiers holding rapiers and crossbows climbed up 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 kill a giant creature hit the mutant drow elves, but they did not react. Instead, the drow elves were pierced with arrows all over their bodies, and then came to the high wall. They twisted their heads, tilted their heads and looked up, opened their mouths, and revealed their forked tongues like venomous snakes.

Then, the drow elf soldiers were seen holding long swords, using their hands and feet, climbing up the wall like spiders, and quickly pounced upwards.

"What the hell are these monsters!"

Seeing this scene, the drow elves who were guarding the wall were even more shocked. They threw away their crossbows and drew their long swords. At this moment, the first batch of attackers had already rushed up the wall.

Seeing their compatriots up close shocked the drow soldiers. The drow's dark vision allowed them to see everything clearly in the dark. They certainly saw the mutated compatriots. Their faces were torn, their mouths were wide open like spiders, their tongues were covered with sticky saliva, and their mouths were full of sharp teeth. Their eyes bulged out of their eye sockets like toads, and they seemed to have self-awareness and turned around.

The tentacles waving on their arms were even more shocking.

Especially considering that they were once the same race as themselves, even the hard-hearted drow warriors felt an indescribable fear at this time.

Well, SAN value -1.

However, the battle had to continue.

The drow warrior silently drew his long sword and swung it at the prey in front of him. The drow's swordsmanship was exquisite, and he clearly saw his sharp blade piercing the opponent's heart. Then the mutated drow fell headfirst onto the 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 body of the mutant elf that was pierced by the drow warrior's sword suddenly began to tremble, and then its body began to swell, and the dark skin cracked, revealing the white muscles inside. It stood up again and opened its hands. Two bone spurs like scimitars burst out from its palms. Then the mutant drow elf roared and pounced on its prey again!

This time the drow warrior didn't have time to defend himself. He waved his sword in panic, trying to force the opponent to move away. However, even though the drow warrior's weapon pierced his chest, the mutant drow, who had turned into a corpse, still didn't stop. He directly pounced on the prey in front of him, and then opened his mouth and bit the drow warrior's neck hard.

"Woo Wow!!!"

With the last scream, the flesh and blood of the drow warrior's neck was torn apart by the corpse, and he died with a scream—but soon, the dead drow warrior's body began to tremble, and then... mutated again.

What the hell is this thing! ?

This scene was constantly played out on the city wall. The drow soldiers responsible for guarding the city could kill those mutant drow who seemed to be crazy and almost lost their minds. However, the next moment, these mutant drow killed by them would turn into corpses and stand up again. This time, neither poison nor arrows had any effect. These furious corpses would tear everything in their way into pieces, and those drow elves killed by them would 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 released them after obtaining the divine spell to expel the dead. However, even the divine spell used to expel undead creatures had no effect on these corpses.

After all, strictly speaking, they were just a pile of moving meat.

This puzzled the priests and pastors, but unfortunately, they also failed to escape the bad luck.

The drow elves with wings, transformed into servants of the old gods, fell from the sky. They twisted their snake-like bodies, screamed and pounced on the priests and pastors behind them, wrapped them up directly, flew high into the sky, and then threw them hard to the ground.

The bodies of the priests fell to the ground, and their screams ended the moment they were caught by the servants of the old gods.

Firri stood on the magic floating disc with complacency and slowly flew into the city. In the square in front of her, many mistresses were standing there fully armed, glaring at her—and the dark, tall construct behind her.

"What you did angered the Spider Queen! Foolish betrayer! You will eventually taste how terrible the Spider Queen's anger is!"

One of them screamed, and the nine-headed snake whip in her hand kept shaking with her roar.

"I am the most loyal servant of the Spider Queen, and you are just poor creatures deceived by Rose's lies!"

Facing the angry accusations of the drow mistresses, Firri sneered, and Duanmu Huai, who was standing behind, suddenly felt that this scene was familiar.

Well, if "Rose" in Firri's mouth is replaced with "False Emperor" or "Corpse Emperor"...

Good guy, I am the one who rebelled against the army?

It doesn't matter, Rose is not the emperor anyway.

That's fine.

"You can't be the opponent of the Spider Queen at all, go to hell!"

Soon, the mistresses raised their hands and began to chant, and a powerful divine barrier appeared in front of them, enough to resist all attacks. At the same time, a terrible divine spell of destruction was brewing in the palms of these mistresses, which was obviously a gift from Rose.

"Stupid!"

Facing the powerful divine spells prepared by these mistresses, Firri laughed instead of being angry, and then she raised her hands.

"You will understand what the real power of the Spider Goddess is!"

"——————!"|

As Firri finished speaking, suddenly, the drow elf matrons felt an indescribable strong stimulation. The feeling almost burst out from their bodies, causing their souls to be distracted at this moment, as if they were caught in an inevitable extreme joy as if they were soaring into the sky.

The joy brought by that moment even made them roll their eyes, tremble their bodies, and instinctively open their mouths to vent their joy. However, when the uncontrolled divine power began to flow backwards, these matrons seemed to suddenly wake up from that beautiful dream and come back to their senses.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

An indescribable fear captured their hearts at this moment. The drow matrons opened their eyes in horror. They saw that everything in front of them was twisted and deformed. The city they were familiar with turned into a scene made of flesh and bones, like hell. On the ground, countless mouths and eyes with sharp teeth were opening towards them, and their spirits collapsed under these indescribable and inexplicable strange scenes. Their mental barriers were inevitably shaken and broken... The next moment, madness completely enveloped these mistresses.
