  Time is passing day by day.

  Zhan did not know what the humans were planning to do, but from the map, it could be seen that they had gathered a large number of troops and seemed to be preparing for a fierce battle. On the other side, because the patrol team was attacked by humans, the dwarf politician was also furious. From Verna, Zhan learned that Kardak had concentrated all the dwarf troops in Brandon Stone Castle, it seemed that he had already determined that Black Magma Stone Castle had lured these surface humans to come here and expand their power!

  It's no wonder that Kardak would think this way. As the saying goes, "those who are not of my tribe must have a different heart." The races on the surface and underground are sometimes like life forms from two different planets, with a deep sense of vigilance towards each other. Take the Black Onyx City, for example - they naturally consider the humans who drove them out of the surface to be the most despicable. But in the eyes of the inhabitants of the Dark Territory, even if the Black Onyx City is at odds with itself, it's still just a dog. No matter what, it can't become a cat. So even if the Black Onyx City pours its heart out to the Gray Dwarves, telling them that their hatred for humans runs deep as the sea, and that they would love to exterminate all of humanity if possible, the Gray Dwarves will only think that these guys are intentionally deceiving them.

  Of course, if they are willing to give up their freedom and dignity to become a subsidiary or slave of the dark race, then it's not impossible to see their performance... However, unfortunately, the Black Onyx City obviously cannot accept this "equal treatment" with a dark regional color, they would rather use their own strength to exchange for equal dignity.

  As for the Blackmaw Castle, they seem to be completely unaware of everything that has happened on this side, still looking like they are planning to roll up their sleeves and have a good chat with Brandon's Stone Castle.

  This is the limitation of the dark territory. Due to the characteristics of the dark territory, there are rarely large-scale and long-term population movements here. This also means that information between each other is difficult to flow. After all, on the ground, even if intelligence is transmitted, it can change its appearance and start from a safe road. However, the dark territory is different. As long as you leave the city's range, there are basically no safe roads.

  In this case, it is extremely difficult for any city to obtain intelligence from other cities. It can only be done through merchant caravans along the way or by spending a huge amount of money on magical communication. However, the latter will not be used unless absolutely necessary, because in every city in the dark region, there are special departments that check these magical fluctuations. Once someone uses magical communication to contact the outside world, their location will almost instantly be exposed.

  Furthermore, this form of communication is extremely costly and can only be used by a select few mages who have mastered the arcane arts. Its limitations are too great for ordinary people to use. Apart from this, the only other way to obtain information about one's opponent is through divine revelation, but such revelations are even rarer. Generally, unless a tribe or force that worships a certain demon king is on the verge of destruction, those demon kings will only offer warnings when they're in a good mood. If they're in a bad mood or if the person being served is uncomfortable, those demon kings won't even bother to respond...

  So now, the situation is that Obsidian City has no knowledge of the appearance of surface humans and is still preparing to teach Brandon City a lesson. Brandon City, on the other hand, thinks that those humans and Obsidian City are in cahoots and plans to take care of this group of surface dwellers. Meanwhile, the humans have no idea about the existence of Obsidian City and think it's just the Dwarves attacking them, so they naturally want to avenge their fellow humans and eliminate evil. However, even if that's the case, they will not let Obsidian City off the hook either. If the Dwarves are considered a relatively unknown species from the dark realm, then the people of Obsidian City are those who were driven underground by them in the first place, so the impact on Obsidian City would be much stronger than on the Dwarves.

  Each of them had their own thoughts, but in Zhan En's eyes, apart from the noble circle, he didn't have any other ideas.

  "It seems like things are quite chaotic now."

  Standing quietly in front of the desk, listening to Zhan En's explanation of the current situation, Enoya also furrowed her brow and looked troubled.

  "Master, what do you think would happen if these three were to meet?"

  "This is hard to say."

  Facing Enya's inquiry, Zhan En spread out his hands and shrugged.

  "Humans on that side definitely don't care about these things, after all, whether it's Black Magma City or Brenden Stone City, they are both dark vassals. As members of the Holy Temple, they naturally can't wait to eliminate these guys in one pot. And Brenden Stone City's attitude is also very resolute, the gray dwarves are extremely stubborn, for them, Black Magma City and humans are equally vassals on the surface, humans must be eliminated, Black Magma City must also be struck, for them, if Black Magma City can be defeated and never recover, that would be best..."

  Enya's eyes also lit up when she heard this.

  "So what's left is..."

  "Hei Mǎ Nǎo Shí Chéng."

  Translation: "Black Agate City"

  Facing Enya's gaze, Zhan En nodded slightly.

  Actually, from the very beginning, Zhan En had his eyes on Hei Maren Stone City. Although he is now close to Brandon Stone City and has killed many of their elites, even capturing their little princess, in reality, Hei Maren Stone City was actually the most likely power to submit to him.

  The reason is simple, in the dark territory, Black Obsidian City is the one with the least foundation. They came from the surface, and it's precisely because of this reason that Black Obsidian City has not been recognized by other forces in the dark territory until now. Moreover, for a very long time to come, Black Obsidian City will also not be recognized by the dark territory.

  In this case, the Black Onyx Castle must find a backing. The underground city is the hardest backing in the dark territory. In any case, this is also the palace of the Demon King. Other dark territory races who want to make trouble must weigh their own abilities and whether they will offend the Demon King they believe in. After all, in the demon world, the relationship between the Demon Kings is complex, and if you accidentally slap the horse's leg, it will be a rhythm of extermination.

  And this is also another reason why Zhan En took a fancy to Hei Maren City, that is, the three races of Hei Maren City are not strong enough at present.

  The Yuan-ti worship the wise serpent deity Dres, the half-vampires worship the Blood Queen Lamashtu, and the drow worship the dark lord Selrach. Among them, Selrach is the strongest, followed by Lamashtu, and then Dres. The wise serpent Dres is just a local tyrant, whose words only hold sway within his own domain, but outside of that swampy area, no one cares about him. Taking followers from him carries no risk whatsoever, and Jenn doesn't need to worry about anything.

  As for Lirien Sarr and Thrain, they are also a dominant force in the demon world. But the problem is... what kind of thing is a half-vampire and a Tiefling?

  Lana Saur is the queen of vampires, and Solren is the lord of hell, but for both of them, only vampires and demons in hell are truly under their jurisdiction. And half-vampires and Tieflings, who are just hybrids with mixed blood in their bodies, want to cling to them shamelessly, it's like a group of illegitimate children born from unknown origins trying to mix into the orthodox family, who would care about them?

  If they were really that useful, any demon king would have said something and the Black Onyx City wouldn't be struggling so much in the Dark Territory. Even Zane suspected that it was these guys' constant whispering prayers that annoyed those demon kings, which is why they intentionally made things difficult for them.

  Can't help but say, the people of Black Onyx Castle are really pitiful. As dark subordinates, they are not recognized by their own worshipped demon king, nor are they recognized by other races in the Dark Territory. From top to bottom, they are being bullied on both sides, and it's a tragic fate. It can be imagined that this time Black Onyx Castle will definitely be beaten up by humans and Brandon Stone Castle from both sides. At that time, even if they want to say "Let's work together for the sake of the Dark Territory", it's likely that they'll just end up with their faces slapped against a cold butt. And then get beaten back by the Gray Dwarves.

  And this is exactly what Jain hopes for. Only when they are driven to desperation will the Black Onyx City surrender wholeheartedly, and their desire to counterattack the surface is much stronger than that of other dark forces. The Heart Demon has never cared about the surface, and the Dwarves are even more averse to leaving the dark realm. As for the Dark Elves? Their hatred for the surface is now just lip service, if these black-skinned people really leave the dark realm and return to the forest, they won't go!

  As long as both parties have common interests and goals, there will be no more problems between them.

  "We need a positive script, Enya."

  Zhan En raised his hands and stared at his deputy, making a gesture.

  "Do you know? The legend of the heroes on this land all started in such a way, to eradicate evil, brave warriors ventured into the dark abyss of evil, they exhausted their efforts, lost many comrades, and finally eliminated the evil demon king......" said here, Zhan En paused for a moment, then winked at Enoah. "The core of this story is that no matter how heavy the losses are, justice will ultimately triumph over evil, do you understand what I mean? The glory of victory belongs to those children of light, knights who believe in fairness and justice, it was their actions that fearlessly braved the thorns and eliminated evil forever, and this continent regained peace. I think this will be a very touching story."

  "Of course, master."

  After listening to Zhan En's words, Enya once again revealed a smile full of confidence as always.

  "Justice will triumph over evil, those brave warriors from the earth's surface will surely return in triumph."
