After he finished speaking, he and Ahelena fell into silence.
After a while, Ahelena said: "The flood is coming, and there are five ships."
"And there are too many people who want to get on the boat. What's even more sad is that the boat is already crowded with people." Carnarciss also sighed.
"I can promise you to share the watch fortress with us, but you and yours..." Ahelena pointed at the undead creatures around her with disgust. "Normally, you can only stay underground. Except for you, no one can
Enter the drow residential area. And you must bear all war obligations related to us. I can only promise you this. If you refuse, we will not send anyone again. Even if you give up Samas, we will
Capture the Watch Fortress."
"Agree!" The mind flayer Lich Carnarciss agreed. "Unlike you, you want a boat. I just want a seat on the boat."
"Very good, we will send people to help you attack the Furnace City. But you have to be fast, the big ice disaster is coming. And the Dark King doesn't have much patience."
"We will set off immediately. The undead and the skeletons have nothing to carry." Carnarciss stood up from the chair. "Please go back. In seven days, we will attack the Crucible City on time."
The drow bowed slightly to the lich, turned around and walked out. Major also slipped out quietly and returned with Maxwell the same way. Hearing these words shocked him, it turned out that the legend of the Great Ice Disaster was true.
. But why don’t people on the ground believe it?
Perhaps because the underground environment is so harsh, underground creatures have a strong sense of crisis. Surface creatures, on the other hand, are immersed in beautiful fantasies and feel that all warnings are alarmist.
They walked through the secret passage and did not need to take detours. Their speed was much faster than the drow. In addition, the undead creatures may have received the order to act and got into chaos. Their alertness was greatly reduced and they walked out quickly.
Underground palaces and mines, we came to the place where the octopus heads were hiding.
After hearing what he said, the three octopus heads were frightened. Obviously, the development of the matter was completely beyond their expectations. Although they were half-convinced about the power of the mind flayer lich described by Major, the conspiracy of the drow elves
They couldn't help but not believe it, because the Crucible City also received news that some drow elves in Samas City had a large-scale action plan, and the time was completely consistent with this incident.
Sunas invited Major to join his team and return to the Crucible City with them. Major declined politely. He is not that stupid. He went to the Crucible City to be cannon fodder for them. Not to mention that there are still things about the dwarves on the ground.
Before finishing the matter, he returned to the ground and rushed to the Watch Fortress as soon as possible to bring the news there.
Sunas gave him a map indicating the location of Furnace City, and he and his companions set off on their way home. Before leaving, Manoles also asked for the Death Crystal Ball back.
The plan to let Major take advantage of the situation fell through.
He and the dwarf king returned to the small room on the second floor of the palace. Now the low-level undead creatures on the second floor have begun to gather on the third floor. Major cleaned up a few lost little skeletons and returned with Maxwell smoothly.
Arrived on the ground.
It was at dusk, with the setting sun leaving its last rays of light, and the bleak evening wind blowing through the valley. Maxwell was like a mole coming out of a hole when he reached the ground, and even a little bit of light made it impossible for him to open his eyes or move his legs. Mei
Jie found a branch to pull him along until he reached the Iron Beard tribe's camp.
It was completely dark at this time, and the camp was silent, with only a few sparse lights. The lights were on in Fakaulan's cave at the top.
Major asked Maxwell to hide first and sneaked in himself. He didn't know where the dwarf girl Uriah was imprisoned. He had to go to her father Dempsey first. The last time Dempsey treated him,
It was in his own home. So Major knew the way and quietly sneaked to Dempsey's low cave dwelling at the lowest end of the cliff.
It was dark inside. There was a steady sound of breathing. Major knew that Dempsey's wife died in the underground palace, so he pushed the door gently, and it opened.
Mr. Dempsey was lying on an almost bald animal hide on the kang, seemingly asleep. Major walked over and covered his mouth.
Dempsey woke up immediately and looked at Major with wide eyes.
"I'm here to save your daughter. Be quiet." Major said softly.
Dempsey nodded. Major let go.
"Warrior... you are back unexpectedly. I thought..." Dempsey got up and tried his best to lower his voice, but he was still very excited.
"Where is Uriah?"
"It's...next door to Fakaulan. I'll take you there. There are people guarding it. I can help you confuse them." Dempsey said.
Major thought for a while and agreed, letting him lead the way.
Dempsey put on a tattered short robe, got out of the cave, and climbed to the top of the cliff with Major. The dwarf tribe's defense was very poor, and there was no sentry. They climbed to the top of the cliff without any hindrance.
Found the cave where Uriah was imprisoned.
There was only one guard, who was sitting on the ground and dozing against the wall. Major stepped over in two steps and stabbed him in the neck.
The guard groaned and opened his eyes in a daze. Major was so embarrassed that he had to punch him in the head, knocking him unconscious to the ground.
Dempsey took out the key from the guard and opened the door.
Uriah was crouching naked on the kang, motionless, not knowing whether to live or die. Dempsey quickly took off his short robe and put it on her.
When Uriah opened his eyes, he immediately threw himself into Dempsey's arms and started crying. Dempsey quickly pulled Uriah out of the cave and down the cliff.
Major felt relieved and turned back to the entrance of Fa Kaolan's cave. Through the window, he saw Fa Kaolan sitting blankly in front of the table, with a plate of food and a jug of wine on the table.
Major knocked lightly on the door.
"What are you doing! How many times have I told you not to disturb me?" Fakaulan suddenly became furious and shouted out the window.
Major lowered his voice and imitated the dwarf's accent and said: "Master Chief, Uriah has escaped."
"What! A bunch of trash!" Fa Kaolan stood up, pushed the things on the table to the ground, took out an ax from the weapon rack on the side, and staggered out of the door.
Major was half-crouching, hiding on the side of the rock wall.
Fa Kaolan rushed out and shouted: "Trash! I will send you to the underground palace and let the skeletons eat your heads off."
Major stood up and said with a smile: "Master Chief, you are fine."
Fa Kaolan was stunned: "Is it you? How can you come back?"
"It can only be said that I am lucky." Major's smile did not diminish. Fakaulan's question further confirmed his idea. This guy is simply pushing himself into the pit. The specific reason is not clear. However, it reminds him of the underground palace.
According to the situation recorded in the Prime Minister's Words and Deeds written by Dempsey, it is almost certain that Fa Kaulan has an unclear relationship with the mind flayer Lich Carnarcissus.
"Master Lich asked me to bring you a good one." He added.
Fa Kaolan opened his mouth wide, with an unbelievable look in his eyes. "You...you saw it?"
"Obviously, he is very satisfied with your performance. He also said that he is looking forward to seeing you soon. After all, it was you who freed him from the closed tomb."
"He really said that?" Fa Kaolan asked hesitantly.
At this time, the sleeping Ironbeard dwarf tribe had been awakened by Fakaulan's roar just now. Everyone came out of the cave and gathered in the open space. They also lit a bonfire. But no one said anything and everyone raised their heads.
Looking at Major and Fakaulan at the top of the rock wall.
Major saw a figure climbing up, it was Maxwell. He continued to deal with Facolan.
"It's absolutely true. Lord Lich is going on a long journey in the next two days, and he may not come back. If you miss this opportunity, you will never see him again."
There was a fanatical look in Fakaulan's eyes, which was somewhat similar to that of an undead creature. Major couldn't help but observe carefully, this guy wouldn't mutate like in zombie movies.
But the fanatical look in his eyes flashed away, and then he regained his clarity. "You're kidding me, human being."
Major chuckled. "You are very smart, Mr. Chief. Or should I call you the former Prime Minister? It must feel good to destroy an entire country with your own hands. Otherwise, how could you be so happy?"
