The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 1184 Information about the Underdark

The tiankeng was indeed very deep, and its interior was complex and interconnected. Alan could only move downward along the largest passage.

Fortunately, Alan did not hide his powerful aura while moving, and soon a scout noticed his presence and reported it to the high-ranking dark elves hiding in the dark. Two incarnations of gods brought people to meet Alan's arrival on the road ahead.

"…That's the thing. We hope that in the final battle three days later, your followers will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a general attack. We will work together to capture this fortress in one fell swoop!!"

Alan came with a mission. After exchanging greetings with the two incarnations of gods, he went straight to the point and stated his purpose.

Although he had a purpose in breaking into the tiankeng passage, the elf garrison outside the tiankeng could roughly guess his purpose. However, this was an open conspiracy after all. Regardless of whether the elves knew it or not, as long as the dark elves underground could cooperate with the actions of the outer northern coalition forces, it would be of great help to this siege.

"Don't worry, little one. My children have been waiting for this day and will definitely cooperate with your actions."

Since the future of tens of millions of followers was at stake, the two incarnations of the gods did not bargain too much, but instead expressed their active cooperation.

The two sides then conducted in-depth discussions on many details, and only after everything was confirmed to be correct did the three most powerful beings shift the topic of communication.

"Your Excellencies, your people live in the underground world. I believe you are very familiar with the underground situation. I wonder if you can provide some information about the underground world?"

As the conversation deepened, Alan slowly revealed his purpose and asked the two incarnations of gods with a slightly expectant tone.

"Why? Are you people on the surface still interested in venturing into the underground world?"

The female elf carrying Eilistraee's consciousness smiled slightly and spoke as if jokingly.

"why not?"

Alan shrugged.

"What's so good about the underground?! It's dark and damp everywhere, dangerous and barren. Even the wine we drink has a fishy smell!"

The dwarf god Durrag frowned and snarled unhappily, apparently he was very dissatisfied with that piece of land.

"Every world has its shortcomings, but it also has its advantages. In the future, our northern border will definitely station troops here to guard against the invasion of the underground drow. So, isn't it necessary to collect intelligence on the surrounding geographical environment?"

Alan stated his reasons frankly, and his words reached the ears of the two incarnations of gods, causing their expressions to change slightly.

"Little friend, you promised us that our two tribes would station troops here. Why are you going to go back on your word now?"

Iristri's tone was a little stiff, and the dwarf next to her simply stared at Alan's face with an unfriendly look.

"Do your two Lords have any misunderstandings? I just agreed that after we occupy this fortress, your clans can send troops to station here to manage the entrances and exits, but I never said that my northern army would not station troops here, right?"

"Given the complicated relationship between your two clans and the drow, our Northern Territory cannot safely leave this passage to you to manage independently. Otherwise, one day all the drow living underground will move from this passage to the surface, and we in the Northern Territory will be the most threatened!!"

Facing the two gods, Allen did not beat around the bush and directly expressed his concerns: "Of course, I also know that the tribes of the two Lords have suffered from the exploitation and plunder of the drow for so many years. It is still difficult for them to put aside their hatred and hostility and return to cooperation."

"But this is only our first collaboration, so please understand our concerns. The three of us managing this fortress and the passage together can not only reduce the burden of garrisoning, but also dispel our concerns, and will not affect the future migration of your descendants from here to the surface world."

"Humph!!"

Durrag snorted coldly, his face was cold but his emotions were hidden. Ilistri beside him relaxed a little as Allen explained, as if she was moved by Allen's words: "We were mistaken, kid, you are right."

"I will send someone to prepare the maps of the underground world in the layers near this passage, and hand them over to your goblins after we exit this passage."

The two gods seemed to give in easily, but in fact they were only forced by the situation. After all, the main force attacking the garrison of the fortress was still the Northern Alliance. It was already a good condition that they contributed manpower and effort to capture the fortress without excluding the two forces of theirs.

Although some of the Gray Dwarves were involved, the Gray Dwarf army of less than 30 could not threaten the elven defenders of the fortress, let alone capture the fortress.

"Your Majesty, if you don't mind, can you give me the information now?" Allen was not polite and said frankly: "It just so happens that I have come to this underground world now, and I want to look around here and see what this mysterious underground world looks like."

"Little guy, don't push your luck!!"

Durrag's voice was like thunder, and his domineering aura overflowed. However, Alan, who was bearing his powerful pressure, took it calmly and was not frightened or afraid.

"Durag!!"

Eilistraee also raised her voice a bit, but she was only speaking to her companions. While stopping the gray dwarf from doing something radical, she turned around and looked at a male dark elf instructor following behind her: "Go and copy all the information about the underground world and send it to me."

Upon hearing the order from the Lord of Service, the dark elf instructor turned around expressionlessly and left to handle related matters.

"Little friend, you said you want to stay in this underground world. Aren't you worried about the war in your army on the surface world?"

It takes time to copy the information, and the three strong men started chatting again. However, Durrag, the incarnation of the gray dwarf god, who was originally a man of few words, had a stern face at this time and spoke even less. Only Iristri talked to Alan in a casual manner to pass the time.

"Professional matters should be left to professionals. I believe in the abilities of our outstanding warriors in the North and they will not let me down."

Allen smiled slightly, his tone full of strong confidence: "Besides, aren't there two of you here? Your wisdom and vision are not comparable to that of a goblin like me who has only lived for 500 years. When the two of you and your people meet up with my northern soldiers, I won't worry at all!!"

"It doesn't really make much difference whether I'm one more or one less."

"...You are lazy."

Iristri rarely showed any coquettishness, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. Even Durrag, who had a stern face, relaxed a little after hearing these words.

Allen's statement showed his respect for the two gods, and at the same time, he also made a concession in disguise: without the leader, the Saint Bear Goblin, on the ground to support the Northern Legion, the two gods and their followers would naturally be able to strive for more favorable conditions in the war.

Of course, the general framework of the tripartite cooperation has already been negotiated, and even the scope of the territory that the three parties will occupy in the future has been finalized, so there is not much room for actual operation.

All the two incarnations of gods need is an attitude, and the benefits brought by slight concessions are not actually valued by the two gods.

Before the agreed time for the attack, the Dark Elves and the Gray Dwarves respectively delivered the intelligence about the underground world they knew to Allen. While there was still some time before the attack, Allen simply stayed in the Dark Elf Army to read these books that were rarely seen on the ground world.

The main city of the drow, Menzoberranzan, is ruled by the eight major drow families. The city alone and its surrounding satellite estates have a population of over ten million, which makes Alan feel awe-inspiring.

The city of shadow mages, Shamas, is also ruled by drow, but they do not believe in the Spider Queen Rose, but instead respect arcane knowledge.

The Stone City - Graz'zt Stone, is an important city inhabited by gray dwarves and an important steel-making capital in the Underdark. Although the city's population is not as large as that of the drow, it imprisoned an ancient red dragon to suppress the underground lava for the city.

The City of Mind Flayers is ruled by the evil and powerful Mind Flayers from underground...

Alan had heard a lot of the information in the document, but after reading the specific data, even someone as strong-willed as Alan couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, and was glad that he had firmly garrisoned the Big Tiankeng Fortress.

It was thought that the nearly one million drow who migrated to the ground were already very powerful, but it was unexpected that these drow city-states that migrated to the ground were just the weakest existences in the Underdark. The truly powerful drow families did not participate in the migration to the ground.

Of course, this may have a lot to do with the judgment of the Dwarf Kingdom at the time. The Dwarf Kingdom, with its profound foundation and even larger intelligence system, could not be unaware of the situation in the underground world. Therefore, they would deliberately choose suitable partners instead of the powerful Drow Family, for fear of eventually raising a tiger to harm them.

Even the people that Alan is currently working with, the followers of the dark girl Eilistraee and the gray dwarf god Durrag, their underground strength far exceeds that of the current North.

If they were allowed to continue migrating people from the tiankeng channel to the ground, perhaps it wouldn't be long before several provinces on the southern border of the Elf Kingdom, which seemed vast to Allen, would be annexed and occupied by the Gray Dwarves and the Dark Elves, and the North led by Allen would end up becoming a wedding dress for others.

Fortunately, there is still room for recovery. The big tiankeng is still in the hands of the coalition forces. In the future, they must renegotiate relevant terms with the dark elves and the gray dwarves to buy enough time for the North to operate and occupy the territory. Then, even if all the dark elves and gray dwarves migrate to the ground at that time, they in the North will have enough confidence to deal with it.

Moreover, the two gods, Eilistraee and Durlag, may not be willing to migrate all of their followers' families and cities to the ground.

After all, migrating to the ground to live in a better environment would certainly improve their chances of survival, but they would also have to face the powerful Elf Empire. If the Elf Empire felt threatened by these two forces and deployed all its military forces against them, they would also face the huge risk of being annihilated.
