"Because someone wants to force them to submit!" Avery said coldly.
Without waiting for Roy to ask further questions, he said like pouring beans through a bamboo tube.
"You know, in the hundred-year war between humans and demons, the dwarves are an important member of the human coalition. Not only do they have talents far beyond all races in metallurgy and wrought iron, but the weapons and equipment they manufacture are important for the human coalition to compete with the demons.
, and the dwarves are also very powerful in combat.”
"Of course!" Ax Spirit's proud voice came from the sea of consciousness, and Roy nodded.
Not to mention the perverts like the Ax Spirit who guarded a mountaintop by themselves and killed thousands of demons in rivers of blood. Roy had seen those ogres and goblins when he was living in the underground city as a child.
The human race was cut down by the dwarves, chopping up melons and vegetables until every last one was left.
A dwarf wearing heavy armor is a humanoid fighting machine. And a team of heavily armored dwarves is simply an indestructible and unstoppable steel frenzy. When these short, powerful guys rush into the enemy formation,
All that can be seen is the minced meat that keeps being thrown into the sky.
This is still an ordinary dwarf warrior. If it were an angry warrior from the dwarf tribe, its combat power would be ten times more terrifying. Even the most elite knights would not dare to fight directly.
In the war between humans and demons, I don’t know how many times the human coalition relied on the heavily armored dwarf troops to stabilize their position. I don’t know how many times they relied on these dwarves to break through the demons when the hard battles were fruitless.
The indestructible formation defeated it.
There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of dwarves.
Avery said: "However, after the final battle, the human coalition retreated to the Land of Redemption. Due to various reasons, the dwarfs have basically withdrawn from the human world. Like the elves, dwarfs, and barbarians, they are far away from each other.
Human beings build cities and thrive in places. Except for a small number of craftsmen and some necessary transactions, it can be said that they have cut off contact with us humans."
"Humph!" Todd snorted coldly, "It's not the Holy See..."
After saying half a sentence, he stopped talking.
Before the final battle, humans, dwarves, elves and other races had long been integrated together and were inseparable. Looking back at human civilization, no matter what aspect, more than half were contributed by alien races. Let’s not talk about anything else, just metallurgy and forging.
, most of human technology now comes from dwarves.
Among the famous forging masters for thousands of years, dwarves account for more than 70%. On the walls of the Imperial Capital Museum, there are rows of portraits of dwarf forging masters.
It is a pity that after the final battle, because the demons were blocked to the east of the Broken Sky Mountains, there was no threat of life and death. In addition, the holy religion was dominant. Therefore, the dwarves who believed in different gods became almost heretical existences among humans.
.
Although the Holy See did not give an explicit order, the human environment for more than three hundred years has given the dwarves too much unfairness. This is the reason why the dwarves left in anger.
In addition to the dwarves, the other major races in the human alliance were basically the same.
Avery continued: "Since the invasion of the demons two months ago, the impact of the war on people's livelihood has spread from the north to all parts of the continent. Food is particularly tense. Not only do the lords in various places no longer sell food, but even those merchants
Tuan and chaebol also joined the ranks of hoarding food."
He sighed and said: "Although the dwarves have left human society, the food-producing areas of the Redemption Land are basically in the hands of humans. They are very dependent on humans for food. Therefore, this time,
The food crisis soon affected them."
"Because of food and the demons, many dwarves have left the dungeon and returned to the human world. They are our natural allies, and they have no retreat when facing the demons. I heard that the elders of the dwarves are discussing
, how to unite with humans, or..."
Avery paused and raised his eyebrows slightly: "...Who should we unite with!"
Upon hearing this, Roy's eyes immediately narrowed.
As Avery said, although food is tight now, the south may not be so nervous that it cannot afford to eat. After all, the demons are still far northeast of the Pompeii Empire, thousands of kilometers away from Lulian.
Distance also means time. Not to mention that the demons are still far away, let’s just say that when the Feili people turned the southern city of Lulian into a sea of fire and hell, with ruins and ruins, the city walls could already be seen when they were closest to Meiding City, and the people could also see it.
Should we still live our lives as usual, sowing when it’s time to sow and reaping when it’s time to reap?
Therefore, although the current food crisis is caused by the barren and cold continent and the harsh and fragile living environment, more of it should be caused by human factors.
Because of the fear of the demons, everyone is now hoarding a lot of food. It's like a domino. The demons just knocked down the first piece. But before the dwarves fell, I'm afraid someone was there to add fuel to the flames!
It is said that a common man is guilty of carrying a jade without any guilt.
The forging technology of the dwarves is unparalleled in the world. This alone is enough to attract people's covetous attention. What's more, there are also their heavy armored warriors and their angry warriors. If the dwarves can be controlled, then it will be a powerful force for any force.
It's a huge fortune.
"That's why they can't buy food in Munich," Roy said coldly, "because no one will sell it to them!"
"That's right," Avery said, "Now in Munich, there are not only the wealthy families of our Solan Empire, but also people from the Pompeii Empire and the Philip Empire..."
"Fei Lie?!" Although he knew that the three major empires were temporarily united because of the demons, Roy still couldn't change it.
Philip invaded Solan, how many Solan people were killed and how many cities were destroyed?
Two months ago, Lulian soldiers and civilians were still fighting to the death with them. Even now, they still occupy the border city of Longmen and the Prussian province. Why did they turn around and become allies?
Even if it is because of the relationship between the demons, it is too unacceptable for them to appear openly in the Solan Empire and Munich City.
Seemingly seeing Roy's doubts and anger, Avery sneered and said, "Even though they know they are not welcome, these guys are shamelessly staying here under the guise of fighting against the demons. Hmph. You have to press me."
With such a temper, since these guys have come to our door, we should kill them directly. However, now that the human coalition has been established, and there is pressure from the Holy See and the Kingdom of Heaven, we can only endure it for the sake of the overall situation..."
Roy was silent.
Avery continued: "Now there is a mixture of dragons and snakes in Munich. Everyone wants to get benefits. Especially the elves, dwarves and other foreign races have become cakes in the eyes of these people, just waiting to be cut off.
Come down in big chunks. Who will sell the grain to them?"
As the team moved forward, the horses' hooves made a crisp tapping sound on the bluestone road.
Along the way, Roy saw many foreign races.
Elves, dwarves, dwarfs, barbarians... He even saw a few orcs among the crowd. Normally, if he wanted to see these foreign races, he would either be in the slave market or in the arena.
And now, people around me seem to have gotten used to it.
Whether it was a handsome elf or a grumpy dwarf who looked unhappy at everyone, no one would pay them much attention while walking in the bustling crowd.
A mercenary team passed by the team, seemingly accepting a mission and rushing out of the city. In this team of twelve people, Roy saw two elf hunters and a barbarian warrior.
On the street, a dwarf was selling a small mechanical pet that could run with people. It looked like a squirrel. It was very flexible and made several children giggle.
And more of them were aliens who came out of street shops with livid faces.
Shops such as weapons, armor, magic pattern products, elixirs, and daily necessities are fine. For those food stores, just send staff to guard the door. As long as they are foreigners, they will not be allowed to enter.
"I heard that Grand Duke Adolf was just and merciful." After a moment of silence, Roy asked, "Could it be that the Grand Duke treated these foreign races in the same way..."
Hearing this question, Avery and Todd couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.
Todd said: "Although the Grand Duke also hopes to get help from these foreign tribes, he will not use such means. But, Mr. Leo, you know that we Lulian have just recovered from the war. We can defeat the Feili people.
, the lords have all made great contributions, and they will be rewarded according to their merits after the war..."
It was through Todd's narration that Roy understood.
It turned out that Adolf was not colluding with those people, but it was because it involved the interests of the lords who were at war with him, and it was not convenient to intervene.
Take Mrs. Joyce, whom Roy knew very well.
Although she took some detours, she did contribute a lot to the last coalition army formed after Fano left. Not to mention the private army under her command, the food provided by her territory alone supported nearly 100,000 people.
Semi-logistics.
After the war, rewards were given based on merit. Adolf first made up for the part that Mrs. Joyce had paid from the captured logistics supplies of Philip's Southern Army, and then gave her twice the amount of food she paid.
, and a piece of territory recovered from the rebel nobles as a reward.
This is what a monarch should do to his subordinates who have meritorious service, and no one has anything to say.
However, this also means that most of Lulian's current food is concentrated in the hands of the lords. Although Grand Duke Adolf is the ruler of the Lulian Principality, the Lulian family is essentially just a big family.
Just a little noble lord.
He has to bear the logistics supply of the Munich City Guard, the Coast Mercenary Regiment and the Bavarian Knights, as well as the Red Leaf Knights and the Twelfth Legion, which have not yet been completely evacuated, and he himself is not well off.
Private property was sacred and inviolable. Since the territory belonged to other lords, as long as the taxes were paid in full, not even the Grand Duke had the right to interfere.
While he was talking, the familiar South Gate Military Camp had arrived.
When walking into the gate of the military camp, Todd finally said: "Actually, this is not entirely our fault. Speaking of which, these alien elders are really too old-fashioned and arrogant. Forget it, these are not things that you and I should worry about.
