Synthesis Wizard.

Chapter 196 It's an honor
"Attending the ceremony? What's going on?"

Tatjana looked at her friend in astonishment, grabbed her arm, and said urgently:
"You are one of the family's most elite dark elf warriors. Why did the family choose you as a ritual sacrifice?"

Venia shook her head and said, "This ceremony is different from the previous ones. The messenger of the Queen of Gods will come to save the Demon Spider City."

"Only the dark elves with the most devout faith can participate in this ceremony. We will become part of the God's messenger, kill the wizard, and then return to the Kingdom of God with the God's messenger!"

Looking at her friend with fanatical eyes, Tatjana's face turned slightly pale, full of incomprehension.

Why can they believe so fanatically in an existence that has disappeared for more than 1,200 years?

It's like losing your mind!
"Venya, you will die!" Tatjana couldn't bear to watch her friend sacrifice herself.

"It's okay, Tatiana." Venia smiled with joy from the bottom of her heart. "Death is not scary. As long as I return to the Kingdom of God, I can be reborn under the power of the Queen of God and gain eternal life."

Seeing that Tatiana was still trying to persuade her, Vinya waved her hand to interrupt her.

"Stop talking, Tatjana!"

"We are the most loyal subjects of the Queen of Gods. We should obey her orders. This is my honor!"

After saying this, Venia turned and walked towards the central temple.

Tatjana stood there in a daze, her expression filled with confusion and trance.

At the same time, dark elf warriors rushed to the central temple from all over the Spider City.

The dark purple demonic fire burned and rolled between the stalactites hanging from the top of the cave, illuminating the outline of the temple below.

The huge temple is like a monster lurking in the darkness, with its bloody mouth wide open, waiting for its prey to come to it.

Bank City.

As the city-state closest to the Demon Spider City, it is also the front line facing the Demon Spider City.

In order to slow down the Covenant's advance, the dark elves not only took away all the slaves in the city before evacuating, but also demolished the city walls and most of the buildings.

The Star Alliance had to slow down and repair the city-state.

But this is exactly what Sherman wants.

He originally didn't want to attack the Demon Spider City too quickly, so he could stop and spend a month or two repairing the city walls and buildings.

Coming out of the meditation room, Sherman went straight to the study.

Although he had to command the battle, he did not neglect his practice and study.

This is the foundation for a wizard apprentice.

Participating in a war is to gain more contribution points in exchange for resources to enhance strength, which is the fundamental purpose.

Sherman wouldn’t put the cart before the horse.

When I walked into the study, I saw Artil reading the battle report inside. He was so focused that he didn't notice someone approaching in advance.

It was not until Xie Man walked into the study that she came back to her senses, raised her head and smiled:

"You've come just in time. Here are some documents for you to sign."

The commander of this army was Sherman, and Arthur was only his deputy. Many documents had to be signed by Sherman before they could be approved.

Xie Man took it, looked at it for a few seconds, signed his name quickly, and then asked:

"Where are the two secret dolls?"

"A new batch of magic stones has just been delivered, and they are going to 'recharge'."

The so-called charging is actually just stuffing magic stones into the body.

It was not until later that Atil found out that although the two secret dolls were powerful, their energy consumption was terrifying.

A battle would consume about ten intermediate magic stones, worth nearly ten thousand gold coins (all magic stones of the Star Alliance are supplied at the 'market price')!

It's like a gold-swallowing cave!

"Which secret doll will fight in the next battle?" asked Atil.

Sherman thought for a moment and said, "No. 1 just killed a spider elf two days ago, and his injuries haven't fully recovered yet. Let No. 2 go next."

In order not to scare the Demon Spider City and make the dark elves completely lose their will to fight, Sherman has always deliberately avoided the two secret dolls appearing on the battlefield at the same time.

Only one is sent out each time to deal with a spider elf.

Anyway, both puppets have the ability to change their appearance. As long as they keep the same appearance, the dark elves will not be able to tell them apart.

"By the way, the teacher has new orders." Atil handed over a roll of parchment.

When Xie Man took it and looked at it, his expression suddenly became very strange.

Atil had already read the contents of the document and asked in confusion, "What exactly is the teacher planning? It was fine that he told us not to get too close to the Demon Spider City, but now he wants us to surround it without attacking."

Xie Man was also confused, but still said, "The teacher must have his own arrangements, we just do as he says. This will allow us to spare more time for practice."

"That's true." Artil nodded happily.

There aren't many good opportunities like this where you can earn contribution points while practicing.

"I heard that Corey and Ethan are making good progress and have won several great victories."

"After all, there are more than two medium-sized golem legions over there. The so-called Falling Star Alliance is simply not a match for them."

"Perhaps the war in the Northwest Territory will end sooner than ours."

The two were chatting when suddenly a soldier quickly came to the door of the study and bowed to them.

"Sir, the scouts ahead reported that the army from Demon Spider City is heading this way."

Sheman was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to meet Arthur's gaze, who also saw a look of surprise in his eyes.

The Demon Spider City had previously given up its subordinate city-states in order to avoid the Star Alliance's offensive and concentrate its forces to garrison the Demon Spider City. But now it has given up its advantage in defending the city and is actively sending troops to attack. What on earth are those dark elves planning?
"Are they here to surrender?" Atil joked.

"If that's the case, it's just a false surrender." Sherman didn't trust the dark elves, who were known for their cunning. "Besides, no one surrendered directly with their army."

After chatting and laughing for a while, the two of them rushed towards the city gate without delay.

When we arrived at the city wall, we saw the dark elf army lined up in the distance.

"With this number, the Demon Spider City has come out in full force!" Atil's face became more solemn.

Sherman also frowned.

Judging from the situation, the dark elves regard the next battle as the last one?

But what he couldn't understand was where did the dark elves get the confidence from?
Moreover, they put themselves in a disadvantageous position in attacking the city.

This behavior is undoubtedly very abnormal.

However, after taking a look at the secret doll that had appeared beside him at some point, Xie Man felt a little more relaxed.

No matter what the dark elves are planning, there is no need to worry too much as long as we have two secret puppets.

Soon, the dark elf army launched an attack.

The slave troops still acted as the vanguard. When the cannon fodder was almost consumed, the Minotaur troops and Lizard Cavalry launched an attack.

Boom! The city gate opened, and the Golem Army marched in neat steps toward the battlefield, blocking the city gate like a giant wall, stopping the enemy's surging charge.

The two sides immediately engaged in a melee, and the sky above the battlefield was suddenly filled with deafening shouts of killing.

Sherman stared at the rear of the battlefield.

The reason why the dark elves dared to attack Bank City was definitely not because of these troops, they must have other trump cards.

More droids? Or something else?

Sherman soon no longer had to wonder.

A black shadow suddenly rose into the sky from the direction of the dark elf camp. After pausing slightly in the air, it shot towards this side like lightning and stopped above the battlefield.

The light emitted by the fluorite quickly illuminated the figure of the person.

"Spider elf? No, that's not right." Atil's pupils shrank slightly. "What kind of monster is this?"

The monster above the battlefield looks very similar to a spider elf, but if you look closely, you will find that the spider body in her lower body is larger and darker than the spider elves you have seen before. From a distance, it seems that a black hole is suspended in the air, and eight long limbs are swaying slowly in the void, flashing a heart-pounding cold light like a sharp blade.

Above the spider's body is a graceful dark elf female body.

The body was completely naked without any clothes or protective gear, and the black jade-like skin was patterned with strange blood-red lines, which were faintly intertwined to form hideous blood-red spiders. Under the illumination of the fluorite light, there was an enchanting beauty.

Sherman stared at the half-spider monster in doubt and amazement.

For some reason, that monster gave him an extremely strong sense of threat, much stronger than the spider elf!
Just as Sherman and Arthur were puzzled, the half-spider monster suddenly let out a sharp scream and rushed towards the city wall like a cannonball.

Halfway through, two elite steel golems noticed the half-spider monster. A flash of light appeared on their chests, and shattering sonic waves and spell missiles whizzed out at the same time.

However, the half-spider monster didn't even bother to look at them. Its huge spider body savagely crushed the distorted sound waves and spell missiles as if it had hit foam. Then it crossed its eight limbs and swung eight half-moon-shaped light blades from the sky, chopping the two elite steel golems into pieces!

A platinum golem activated the levitation spell and rushed into the sky, blocking the half-spider monster. Its two iron fists, empowered by the spell, attacked with overwhelming force, but the half-spider monster swung two scimitars and cut off its arms.

Then, cold light flashed, and the huge golden golem was instantly split into several pieces.

All this happened in a flash, so fast that Sherman didn't have time to react.

Without caring about the loss of the golem, he quickly ordered the other golems to keep their distance from the half-spider monster.

This monster is obviously stronger than the spider elf, and ordinary golems are no match for it.

Seeing the golems retreat, the half-spider monster ignored these minions and continued to charge towards the city wall, keeping its eyes fixed on the secret doll girl from beginning to end.

Without Xie Man's instructions, the secret doll girl had already opened her gray robe and jumped out of the city wall to meet him.

In an instant, raging flames and violent lightning swept out at the same time and hit the half-spider monster.

The power of the spell cast by the secret doll girl is not comparable to that of the elite steel golem. The half-spider monster that was resisting the spell did not resist it this time. Instead, it dodged flexibly and approached the secret doll girl like a ghost, slashing at the opponent with the scimitar in its hand and the legs under its body at the same time.

The secret doll girl showed no fear and fought back fiercely with the magic sword in hand.

The two sides were engaged in a fierce battle in mid-air in an instant, and the battle was visibly becoming increasingly intense.

The secret doll girl holds a sword in one hand and a spell in the other. She uses both physical combat skills and spells, and her momentum is amazing.

Although the half-spider monster does not know any spells, it has many weapons, and the blood-colored lines on its body seem to have some kind of defensive effect.

Every time a spell struck the half-spider monster, the blood-colored lines would flash and destroy the spell, leaving it unscathed.

The two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.

After a long battle, the half-spider monster seemed a little annoyed. It screamed suddenly, and a violet flame suddenly burned on its body, and its aura suddenly soared.

The eight limbs of the spider's body were also covered with a layer of purple demonic fire, and it waved out dense phantoms of sharp blades towards the secret doll girl.

With every hit, a layer of faint distortion would appear on the surface of the secret doll girl's body.

Sherman and Arthur were surprised when they saw this.

Only they knew that it was a sign that the defense of the Ring of Ultimate Protection had dropped drastically in an instant.

This wasn't the case when I was resisting the attack of the half-spider monster just now. How could the power of those purple evil fires be so terrifying?
Sherman stared at the evil fire on the half-spider monster with a frown on his face.

For some reason, the aura emitted by the layer of purple demonic fire gave them an inexplicable feeling of heavy oppression.

"It doesn't look like elemental energy, nor does it look like spiritual power. This is an energy property I've never seen before!"

Xie Man was confused and uncertain.

As the half-spider monster unleashed its demonic fire, the secret doll girl was instantly at a disadvantage!
Atil's eyes widened in shock.

You know, the Secret Doll Girl is a puppet comparable to a formal wizard level. What is the origin of that half-spider monster that can suppress the Secret Doll Girl?

at the same time
In the dark elf camp, the matriarchs of the twelve families also stared at the sky above the battlefield, paying close attention to the performance of the half-spider monster.

When they saw that the half-spider monster had completely suppressed its opponent and firmly gained the upper hand, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and showed expressions of joy as if a burden had been lifted off their shoulders.

"As expected of you, Lord God's Messenger. That wizard is no match for him at all!" Mistress Philier's eyes flashed with fanaticism.

“It’s worth the sacrifice we made.”

Aurora was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized what was happening and quickly shook his head to dispel the thought of disrespecting the Queen of Gods.

How can this be a sacrifice?
This is an honor for those dark elf warriors!

Fortunately, the other mistresses were so overjoyed at the moment that they paid no attention to her words.

Madam Lesta smiled and said, "After killing that wizard, the Star Alliance will be leaderless and will surely be in chaos for a while. We can take this opportunity to counterattack!"

"That's right!" Madam Fili nodded heavily, "As long as that wizard dies, the Star Alliance will have nothing to fear!"

The others were also excited.

With the presence of the Lord God's Envoy, Demon Spider City will surely be able to unify the southeast region, no, unify the entire underground world!

Boom!

A figure fell to the ground like a meteor, blasting more than a dozen dark elf warriors and golems who were unable to dodge into ashes, and a huge hole appeared on the ground instantly.

The secret doll girl was lying in the middle of the pit in a miserable state, her body covered with bruises, and her left arm was broken at the shoulder.

The half-spider monster was suspended in the air, looking down at the secret doll girl with cold eyes, with a look of condescending indifference in his eyes.

"We won!" Mistress Philier showed a confident smile on her face.

Cheers rose one after another in the dark elf camp, mixed with the sound of poems of praise.

The dark elf matrons did not scold their warriors, and they all had happy expressions on their faces.

The outcome is decided!

Above the battlefield, the half-spider monster raised the scimitar in its hand, and the spider body underneath it also raised its sharp legs.

The next moment, she suddenly fell down, crashing towards the secret doll girl like a falling star or moon.

Looking at the posture, it is obvious that he is going to end the battle with one blow!
Clang!
To everyone's surprise, the half-spider monster's attack was blocked.

A tall, slender figure stood in front of the half-spider monster, holding the sword in both hands while blocking the falling scimitar's legs.

In the distance, Madam Philier looked at the girl lying in the deep pit, then looked at the other girl standing in front of the messenger of God, with an expression of astonishment and confusion on her face.
