Chapter 381: betray! Strategic failure...

　　 No one expected that Shanatar, which was rich in supplies and defenders, would be breached.
　　In fact, this underground city was not forcibly broken from the outside by the army of the Dark Alliance, but fell from the inside of the city.
　　 No one thought that the grandson of the current chief, Duoluru, a diplomat in the dungeon, would collude with the forces of the Dark Alliance.
While the chief on the sickbed was sleeping, he stole the authority key of the dungeon core held by the opponent, bypassing the defensive magic barrier of Shanatar city-state, and privately established a connection between the outside of the city and the city. The teleportation circle in the city...
　　 So, when everyone did not react, suddenly a large number of undead appeared in the city.
　　 They smashed the ultra-long-distance teleportation circle in the city-state and destroyed the statue of the of death in the temple of death.
　　The of death is the core that provides the source of power for the defensive magic. Once the is destroyed, the entire defensive magic of Shanatar collapses.
　　 And the teleportation circle was destroyed, and the supporting elves could no longer support it by teleportation...
　　 Therefore, the entire city's defenders and elves immediately fell into a situation of helplessness.
　　 So, the dark army, which had been prepared outside the city, cooperated with the internal response and the assault troops inside the city, and easily opened the city gate that had not been breached for several months.
The siege that should have been vigorous did not happen. The Dark Alliance soon occupied the walls of Shanatar, while the original defenders dropped a corpse on the ground in a two-sided attack and retreated into the city with difficulty. .
　　The war quickly turned into a fierce street battle. The defenders in the city and the Dark Alliance troops who invaded the city launched a fierce battle in the city.
　　 However, the army of the Dark Alliance has been fully prepared.
　　 They have gathered a full 150,000 undead army and 80,000 ordinary troops, which can be called the strongest force in the western part of the underground world.
　　 In contrast, Shanatar's quiet alliance army is too weak.
　　 The total number of city-state defenders is less than 20,000, and even the number of elves still remaining in the city is limited, totaling less than 3,000.
　　During the attack of the Dark Alliance army, the army of dark dwarves and underground gnomes suffered heavy losses. The elves also died in battle, and the streets of the city were stained red with blood.
　　 And the remaining power of the Silent Alliance was also forced step by step into the deepest mine in the city by the other side, supported by some solid fortifications...
　　 In less than two days, the army of the Dark Alliance occupied most of Shanatar, and only some mines in the depths of the city were occupied by dark dwarves, underground gnomes and elven mercenaries who had retreated into them.
　　 It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the materials are scarce. As long as the Dark Alliance keeps them there, they have only two options to surrender and starve to death...
　　 It can be said that by this time, the Dark Alliance has actually occupied the entire Shanatar.
The original city residents were forcibly detained at home, the rebels were massacred, the chief Katla was killed by the betrayer Doluru himself, and Doluru was appointed by the Dark City Alliance as the new chief and declared the Church of Darkness and Shadow Will become the new official faith of the city-state.
　　At the same time, the army of the Dark Alliance also integrated the already prepared idol of the Lord of Darkness and Shadow into the original Temple of Death, reactivating the city's defensive magic barrier.
　　 Only this time, the goal of the magical defense barrier has been reversed.
　　 So far, Shanatar has declared his fall.
　　 When the news spread to the Quiet City-State Alliance, the city-states were in an uproar.
　　 No one expected that Shanatar would fall so suddenly...
　　 And after the uproar, it was panic soon.
　　 Doluru of Shanatar city-state betrayed, and his betrayal directly led to the fall of the city, then...Are other cities like this city already infiltrated by the forces of the Dark Alliance?
　　 In addition, Shanatar and the City of Blades are both gateways of the Silent City-State Alliance to the Dark City-State Alliance, and their geographic location is too sensitive.
　　 Judging from the map of West Underground World, the overall landform of West Underground is like a gourd facing north.
The Gourd Mouth is the passage leading to the deep-cracked cave. The Silent City-State Alliance occupies the upper half of the Gourd, while the Dark City-State Alliance occupies the lower half. The two underground city-states are located right in the center of the Gourd, and at the same time they lead to the first half. The entrance to the dark area on the second floor...
　　 In this case, the defensive battle between Shanatar and the City of Blades is the key to the entire war. The battle situation here can even determine the direction of the entire underground world war, and the decisive battle will also happen here.
　　The defense is good, as long as it is consumed, the victory in the secular war will definitely belong to the quiet alliance.
　　 But if any city-state is breached, it will cause the portals of the Silent City-State Alliance to open wide, and the Dark Alliance’s army will be able to drive in for a long time, and the situation will suddenly go bad...
　　 But now, a city-state has really been breached!
　　 In a sense, it can be said that the Dark Alliance has won a decisive victory in this war.
　　 After all, judging from the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, perhaps if a single city is defended, the Silent Alliance can rely on the support of the elves to persist, but when multiple city states are attacked at the same time, it is dangerous.
　　 Not every city-state has tens of thousands of defenders like these two cities, and more underground cities of the Silent City-State Alliance have less than 10,000 troops.
　　Of course, this is also because the Dark Alliance has special methods that can make the normal undead degenerate and corrupt, so that the Silent Alliance cannot use the undead army in the war with the Dark Alliance.
　　 In this case, the army of the Dark Alliance can rely on its numerical advantage to easily launch a siege of at least five underground cities at the same time, and it is likely to be easily broken.
　　 It is worth mentioning that considering the cost of establishing the ultra-long-distance teleportation array, although the Silent Alliance side decided to establish the ultra-long-distance teleportation array in each city when seeking support, this is not the case.
　　 The real situation is that there are only two key locations, the City of Blades and Shanatar, and the already surplus cities have chosen to establish an ultra-long-distance teleportation array connecting Black Rock City.
Although the other Silent Alliance cities are closer to Hulu Mouth, they are also closer to Black Rock City, and the cost of establishing an ultra-long-distance teleportation array and maintaining the operation of the magic array is lower... But the more remote they are, the poorer they are, even if they are. No matter how low the cost is, it can't be borne at all. At best, it is just an ordinary teleportation formation between each other.
　　Of course, this is also because the Silent Alliance is at best a loose city-state alliance, and it is impossible to effectively allocate and utilize the resources of each city-state.
In this case, it is difficult even for players to provide effective support~EbookFREE.me~ Of course, in theory, players can also teleport to two key cities, and then through ordinary teleportation. Array teleported to other city-states.
　　 But the crux of the problem is also here.
The City of Blades and Shanatar indeed also have teleportation formations connected to other underground cities, but these teleportation formations are concentrated in the City of Shanatar, and the City of Blades only has one connection to the city of Shanatar. The teleportation array is nothing.
　　This led to the fact that once the city-state of Shanatar was breached, the City of Blades would be disconnected from the other city-states of the Silent Alliance.
The reason why the Silent Alliance will establish a teleportation formation in this way is because although the two city states are in key positions, the City of Blades is closer to the Dark City Alliance’s sphere of influence. It is full of enemies on three sides, and a large-scale establishment is here. The teleportation array connecting to other city-states is too risky...
　　 After all, in everyone's estimation, if one of the two cities must be breached, it will definitely be the city of blades. If a teleportation formation is established to support it, the city-state of Shanatar is enough.
　　 As a result, who knows, it was Shanatar who was breached first.
　　 Having said so much, in fact, to summarize, it is just one thing.
　　 That is the loss of Shanatar, who has strategically declared the defeat of the Silent Alliance. If you still want to win this war, you can't rely on secular power alone.
