Chapter 195 The Last Chance
The direction of the war was beyond many people's expectations.

Astral calendar year 1272, the month of books.

The Star Empire conquered the capital of the Snow Lion Principality, and the Snow Lion Principality was destroyed.

The year 1273 of the Astral Calendar, the month of Dongqin.

The Starry Empire destroyed the Newman Kingdom.

The year 1273 of the Starlight Calendar, the month of Xialong.

The Star Empire destroyed the Principality of Atlan.

Starlight calendar year 1273.
The Starry Empire was moving with swift momentum, destroying its opponents one by one at an astonishing speed.

Even in a multi-line battle, it still reveals a terrifying force that makes people feel powerless from the bottom of their hearts.

After the year 1275 of the Starlight Calendar, more than half of the dozen or so countries that had besieged the Starry Empire had been destroyed.

The Starry Empire still showed no signs of decline, but instead became more and more powerful.

The balance of victory and defeat has clearly tilted towards the Starry Empire.

Many people have already realized that the southeastern region of the continent may be about to welcome a true ruler.

While the war on the surface was in full swing, Sunan was immersed in cultivation.

Over the past few years, the front line had brought him more than twenty corpses of spider elves. The divine energy extracted from them greatly increased his mental concentration.

By the time of the Xialong month, Sunan's spiritual concentration had increased to 22.62%.

If one follows the original cultivation progress, it will take at least seventy years to achieve this.

And now it only took him six years.

"The Spider Queen sent me a great gift."

Su Nan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but then felt a little regretful.

In recent times, the frequency of spider elves appearing has become less and less.

Although he ordered the Star Alliance to give in as much as possible, the war that lasted for more than five years completely drained the war power of the Spider City.

Today, the military strength of Demon Spider City has been drastically reduced to the point where it is unable to garrison the dozen or so city-states under its jurisdiction. Its defense line has been shrinking again and again, and it has been constantly abandoning the outer city-states.

Just recently, the dark elves completely abandoned their only two remaining subordinate city-states, and all their forces retreated back to the Demon Spider City.

Judging from this situation, even if the Star Alliance does not take the initiative to attack, the Demon Spider City may not be able to continue the counterattack.

I'm afraid it won't be long before the Demon Spider City will no longer be able to provide him with spider elves.

"If only I could hold on a little longer. I should have asked Sherman to be gentler."

"Should we just stop the attack and give Demon Spider City some time to recuperate?"

It was rare for Sunan to consider the enemy.

Anyway, there is only one Demon Spider City left, so it doesn’t matter if we just leave it there.

From time to time, you can get some "supplements".

But the idea is good, the question is whether the Spider Queen will cooperate with him?
None of the gods are fools. The strange behavior of the Star Alliance in recent years may have aroused the other party's suspicion.

Unlike the natives of the Starlight Continent, the gods know wizards very well.

The Spider Queen might have guessed that he was collecting divine energy.

Shaking his head, Sunan put the matter aside for the time being.

In addition to the Demon Spider City, the war in the northwest region was also going very smoothly.

The so-called Fallen Star Alliance is no match for the Star Covenant.

After the newly formed third medium-sized golem army was deployed to the battlefield in the northwest region, the Falling Star Alliance, which was already at a disadvantage, became even more depressed. Now it is retreating on the front battlefield, and defeat is only a matter of time.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

Demon Spider City.

The shadow of war hangs over the city.

The streets were unusually deserted. Occasionally, a group of fully armed dark elf soldiers passed by, but they were all in a hurry with serious expressions.

When Tatjana passed through the lower city where slaves lived, she heard the screams of slaves coming from many houses.

Apparently there were dark elves in a bad mood torturing the slaves.

There were originally many dark elves who liked to vent their stress in this way, and with the recent defeats in wars, the pressure on the tribe was even greater, so they used this method more frequently.

So much so that in recent times, many slaves' bodies can be seen being transported out of the city and burned every day.

Recalling the experiences of the past few years, Tatjana couldn't help but sigh.

Perhaps this war was a mistake.

The dark elves gained absolutely nothing from this war.

The twelve families of Demon Spider City went from excitement and enthusiasm in the beginning, to shock and disbelief later, and finally to confusion and frustration today.

It vividly illustrates what it means when joy turns to sorrow.

Over the years, the twelve families held ceremonies one after another, giving birth to more than twenty spider elves, but all of them died at the hands of the mysterious female wizard.

The Demon Spider City even arranged for multiple spider elves to ambush the young wizard at the same time, but they still failed to kill her and were completely wiped out.

After several attacks, the Spider City was finally frightened and deliberately avoided the city-state where the young wizard was located and turned to attack other targets.

But what is incredible is that no matter which city-state they attack, as soon as the spider elves appear, the young wizard will appear on the battlefield in a short while!
After several successive incidents, the young wizard has become the nightmare of the Spider City!

She and the Star Alliance stood firmly in front like a towering wall. No matter how they attacked, they always stood firm.

So powerful that it is frightening and even despairing.

The only thing the war brought to Spider City was a sharp drop in population.

Part of it was the casualties from the war with the Covenant, and a considerable part was the cost of the ceremony.

Many of their kind are willing to sacrifice themselves and become part of the spider elves.

Unfortunately, their sacrifice was ultimately useless and did not bring victory to the Demon Spider City.

Tatjana still doesn't see any hope of defeating the Covenant.

"Tajana!"

A call interrupted Tatana's distraction. She looked back and saw Venya walking towards her quickly, looking at her with a puzzled look.

"What are you thinking about so intently? I've called you several times."

"Nothing." Tatjana shook her head. Seeing Venya's dusty appearance, she asked, "Did you just come back from outside?"

Venia nodded and said, "The martial arts master needs a few good people to investigate the situation of the Star Alliance, so I volunteered to go."

"Anything gained?"

"No." Venia shook her head grimly. "Those spider puppets are too tricky. Even I can't detect their existence. We dare not get too close."

Tatjana showed a sad expression when she heard this.

Dark elves are known for their skills in assassination and stealth, and few creatures can compete with them in the shadows.

But the Covenant's twin-blade spider is an exception.

Those puppets have no soul breath, and their life breath can be restrained to an extremely weak level. When they lurk in the shadows and remain motionless, even the dark elves can hardly detect them.

The key is that the movements are extremely fast, and even in the complex terrain of the underground world it is as easy as walking on flat ground.

It can be said that they are more suitable as scouts than dark elves.

At the beginning, the dark elves were not aware of the power of the double-blade spiders, and suffered a lot of losses when gathering intelligence. Many well-trained dark elf scouts died under the sharp legs of the double-blade spiders.

Now, no dark elf scout dares to get too close to the Star Alliance territory. No one knows how many double-blade spiders are lurking in the darkness.

"The Star Alliance has taken over the two city-states we evacuated. Now the Demon Spider City is completely surrounded by the Star Alliance."

Venya's tone was heavy, with a hint of confusion.

"Tatjana, do you think we can win?"

Tatjana pursed her lips and whispered, "The Spider City still has the protection of the Queen of Gods."

When the Queen of God was mentioned, Venia suddenly perked up and nodded heavily.

"That's right, we have the protection of the Queen of Gods, and the Queen of Gods is omnipotent!"

Tatjana forced a smile. Only she knew how much insincerity there was in her previous words.

If the Queen of Gods was truly omnipotent, Demon Spider City would not have fallen to its current state.

"By the way, the Matrons' meeting is held today, right?" Tatjana changed the subject.

Venia nodded and looked towards the direction of the central temple.

"It should have been convened by now."

The twelve families in Demon Spider City all have their own family temples, which are unique to each other.

However, since the Queen of Gods gave the oracle six years ago, the twelve families abandoned their intrigues and united against each other, and immediately gathered the strength of the entire city to build a central temple.

The new temple is larger than any family temple.

In addition to enshrining the statue of the Queen of Gods, it is also the place where the twelve families discuss important matters.

At this moment, the matriarchs of the twelve families gathered in the meeting hall of the central temple.

Twelve female dark elves with different figures and faces, but all young and beautiful, sat around a long table, their expressions were either indifferent or gloomy, and they were all silent.

A heavy atmosphere filled every corner of the hall.

After a long time, the matriarch of the Lesta family, the first family in Spider City, who was sitting at the top, spoke to break the silence.

"The Star Alliance is coming with great force. The Spider City is now completely surrounded by the Golem Army. Do you have any good solutions?"

There was silence.

In the end, it was the matriarch of the Aurora family who spoke first.

"We won't be able to fight back unless we get rid of that wizard."

Everyone was silent and looked at each other without saying a word.

Everyone knows this, but no one can come up with a good solution.

Even the spider elves are no match for the young wizard, what can they do?
If the problem could be solved, they would have taken action in the past five years.

"I wonder if the Star Alliance is secretly planning something?" The matron of the Valaduri family suddenly said, "The Star Alliance's actions have been strange over the years. I always feel that they don't seem to be attacking with all their strength, but are deliberately letting us go."

The hall fell silent.

The mistresses looked at each other.

Madam Philier sneered and said, "You overestimate the Star Alliance!"

Madam Valaduri glanced at her coldly and said, "I am only stating the facts."

"I think your Valerduri family is afraid of fighting and is trying to preserve their strength. If your Valerduri family had not fled first when defending Ulu City, causing the defense line to collapse completely, Ulu City would never have fallen into the hands of the Star Alliance!"

"It was just an accident. Afterwards, I turned the commander in charge into spider food. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"you"

"enough!"

Madam Lesta at the head interrupted their argument at the right moment and glanced at them coldly.

"Now is the time to unite and put aside all your usual dissatisfaction with each other, or do you want to disobey the decree of the Queen of Gods?"

Seeing that Madam Lesta had brought up the Queen of God, Madam Philier and Madam Valduri's faces changed at the same time. They glared at each other and then kept silent.

Madam Lesta ignored the two of them, looked around, and said in a serious tone:
"After more than 1,200 years, the Dark Elves have finally regained the attention of the Queen of Gods. This is a hard-won opportunity!"

"We must complete the Queen's decree and regain her favor!"

"If we fail and lose the protection of the Queen of Gods, the Spider City won't be able to hold out for long under the attack of the Star Alliance!"

Following Lesta's words, the expressions of the matrons gradually became extremely solemn.

They naturally understand this truth.

There is no doubt that the Demon Spider City has come to a critical moment of life and death.

Once the Queen of Gods no longer sets her sights on the dark elves, the Spider City, without the Queen of Gods' protection, will have no chance of resisting the Star Alliance.

"But what should we do?" Madam Aurora frowned.

"Hold a larger ceremony!" Madam Lesta said without hesitation, "We need more spider elves!"

Everyone frowned at the same time.

The birth ceremony of the spider elves requires not only dark elves as sacrifices, but also a large number of spider species.

However, in order to hold rituals over the years, almost all the spider species raised in the Demon Spider City have been consumed.

Today's new batch of spider species have just been born and need time to grow.

Madam Lesta naturally considered this and said in a deep voice: "Use the secret method to catalyze the growth of spider species. The slaves brought from other city-states take up too much space, so they can be used as nutrients."

A look of realization flashed across Madam Aurora's eyes.

No wonder Mistress Lesta insisted on taking away the burdensome slaves from the two city-states. It turned out that it was a preparation for this moment.

Since no one could think of a better solution, they were ready to agree to Madam Lesta's proposal.

But at this moment, their expressions suddenly changed and they looked in a certain direction outside the meeting room.

That is where the statue of the Queen of Gods is located.

The next moment, an illusion of a spider appeared out of thin air.

"God Queen!"

The twelve mistresses all got up from their seats and knelt on the ground, showing respectful and pious expressions.

Then, a voice emerged in everyone's mind at the same time.

The content of the voice made the twelve mistresses show expressions of shock and astonishment, but they soon restrained their expressions and bowed their heads respectfully.

"Great Queen of Gods, your decree is our mission!"

The spider illusion above the meeting room slowly disappeared.

The twelve mistresses remained kneeling for a while before slowly standing up.

"You have all heard the Queen of God's decree."

Madam Lesta's face was hidden in the shadows beyond the firelight, and no changes could be seen.

"The Queen of Gods was very dissatisfied with our previous performance. Now it is our turn to make amends for our mistakes."

Madam Filiel was the first to speak out: "The Filiel family is willing to provide one hundred of the most loyal dark elf warriors!"

Seeing this, the other ten mistresses, although their faces were heavy, still expressed their opinions.

Soon, the matrons' meeting reached a consensus.

Then the twelve people left one after another and rushed to their respective families to make arrangements.

They all knew that this would be Spider City’s last chance!
