The setting sun has set on the distant mountain tops, and the light covering the city of Munich has begun to dim.
Thousands of skylarks are like snow-white ribbons, flying from the earth to the sky and into the clouds. Groups of pigeons are chasing the last rays of light over the city. They are suddenly exposed to the golden light, and sometimes plunge into the dark night.
In the gray shadow of the forward.
The whistle of pigeons is melodious in the sky, and the evening bell has already sounded.
Little by little, the sunlight is swallowed up by the spreading shadows, and the lights that light up from window to window give the majestic city of Munich a different kind of brilliance.
"By the way, General Avery. I heard you say before that this incident seems to be related to the stubbornness of the dwarves themselves," Roy asked, "What exactly is going on?"
"It's not like they are those stubborn elders..." Avery was not surprised that Roy asked about this.
Just like some teenagers who always like to stand up when their parents encounter some big things, he only regards this as the passion of a young man.
"The invasion of demons is not only a disaster for us humans, but also for races such as dwarves and elves." Avery leaned on the railing of the covered bridge and said to Roy, "Even if we have been separated from humans for a long time,
years, but at this time, they must also unite with us."
Roy nodded. This is a truth that even a three-year-old child understands. It is impossible for the leaders of these alien races not to understand it.
"But," Avery sighed, "it's not three hundred years ago after all. First of all, there are deep rifts between these alien races and us. They don't trust us like they used to.
Secondly, they are scattered in various areas of the Redemption Continent. Although they are still connected to each other, they do not have a unified leader like hundreds of years ago. Each tribe can obey orders unconditionally. In many things,
Even among their internal tribes, there are differences."
Avery said, with a bit of a dumbfounded expression on his face, and said to Roy: "Take these dwarf tribes for example... There are three dwarf tribes closest to Munich City. One is the Tiezi tribe in the north.
.One is the Rock Character Department to the east, and the other is the Stone Character Department in the Warcraft Mountains to the west."
"Because most of these alien races have separated from the human world because of the relationship with the Holy See. Therefore, in addition to some small alien tribes in the remote areas of the Philip Empire and the Pompeii Empire, more than half of the other alien races are distributed in
In my territory of Solan."
Seeing Roy's eyes move, Avery said: "For us Saint Solan, this is indeed a good thing. At first, we thought that these alien races would be more willing to fight side by side with us, but... we still want to
It’s too simple.”
He smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Let's talk about these dwarves. When they contact us, they first declare that they are only allies with us, with equal status and no affiliation. Especially they are unwilling to join the Imperial Army.
Sequence. Because they don’t want to get involved in the war between the three empires.”
"This is also the reason why they have always chosen collaborators among the major family forces. We understand this. However, the next request they made is a bit excessive. Their army needs us
Providing food, wages, weapons and equipment, but not guaranteeing compliance with instructions..."
Roy's eyes widened: "No way? They probably mean that they disobey the orders to fight the other two empires. After all, you just said..."
"I thought so at first," Avery shook his head, "but later I realized that these dwarves' demands were completely based on their distrust of us. Even when fighting against the demons, they were afraid that we would deliberately use them as cannon fodder.
.Or meet a stupid human commander..."
Roy was speechless for a moment. He didn't know whether this was the fault of the dwarves or the humans.
On the one hand, letting humans bear the food payment, especially in the current situation of food shortage, it can be said that the entire dwarf tribe must rely on humans to survive. But on the other hand, they proposed to only form alliances and not join the army, and even
Conditions for not obeying orders.
Everything they fear may happen.
But from a human perspective, aren't we worried that the battle will fail because the dwarves refuse to execute orders at the critical moment?
Humans can make mistakes, and so can dwarves.
On a cruel battlefield, such a companion is simply a joke. It is unfair to those soldiers who fought bloody battles.
“When we first came into contact with the dwarf elders, the Grand Duke was very sincere,” Avery said. “But after hearing their outrageous demands, the Grand Duke simply gave up. We were quite polite, but the others
The family simply joined forces to block the dwarves’ channels for purchasing food and force them to submit.”
The last question was solved, and Roy couldn't help but have a headache.
Dwarves are famous for their irritability and stubbornness. Since they have put forward such conditions, it will be difficult to persuade them to change. And those families join forces to force them, and the final outcome is not that the dwarves surrender, but that they die!
No one knows these short guys better than me.
Roy thought to himself: "It seems that I have to postpone my trip to Bandez for the time being. No matter what, I can't just sit back and watch this matter."
"These idiots!" The dwarf ax spirit's curse came from the sea of consciousness. The sound only rang for a moment and then disappeared without any further meaning. He was obviously sulking.
While talking to Avery, Roy saw Tie Xiaoshan and others also finished questioning and walked out.
Because Lulian promised to compensate for the loss of food, the dwarfs seemed to be in high spirits. As soon as they saw Roy, they swarmed up and enthusiastically took him to his home as a guest. There were many talks, and some said they wanted to introduce the great elder to Roy.
They know each other, and some people say they want to show him the good things they have built.
Roy wanted this very much and agreed immediately.
When saying goodbye, Avery reminded: "Be careful. The few people who escaped have not been caught yet. The Bano family has always been rampant. In order to force the dwarves to submit, they dared to openly attack Munich City and even attacked me, Munich."
Nicheng Guards, and you not only killed five of them, but also captured two, I'm afraid..."
"I know." Roy smiled slightly and nodded.
"Okay," Avery said, knowing that this young man named Leo was very powerful and full of blood, so he might not be able to listen, "remember, I, Avery, owe you a favor. Besides, how many of us are there?"
A lord is also very interested in you and wants to recruit you..."
He winked and said: "However, with your strength, you can enter the Grand Duke's mansion directly. The Grand Duke is also recruiting talents recently. If you are willing, you can come to me."
Roy agreed, said goodbye to Avery, led the thin horse and the dwarves out of the barracks.
Avery looked at his back, waved his hand, and summoned a long knight under his command: "Sorg, you lead a small team to follow Mr. Leo and protect him closely."
"yes!"
After leaving the military camp, Roy and the dwarves walked along the Avenue of Glory through the central square and towards the dwarves' residence.
This time when they went to Munich City, a total of more than 100 people came from the Railway Ministry. They were led by three elders. Some time ago, due to the joint blockade of major families, they could not buy food in Munich City. Therefore, Gao Xiao
People were divided into seven or eight teams and went to different cities to make purchases.
This team from Tie Xiaoshan is just one of them.
Holding the horse and walking on the road, Roy chatted with the dwarves and observed the city of Munich after two months of absence.
Although it is already evening, the city of Munich is still a bustling scene. Nobles, chaebols and business groups from all over the empire have brought wealth and opportunities, and also attracted a large number of mercenaries and people from all walks of life.
.City streets have become crowded and noisy.
Walking on the street, you can see all kinds of people. Different clothes, different headdresses and hairstyles, different identities, different regions. In addition, there are dwarves, elves, barbarians and dwarfs mixed in. Now Mu
The city of Nice looks like a gathering place for all nations.
Compared with the past, the city of Munich is now less filled with the misery of refugees and more agitated with opportunities, busyness and confusion about the future of mankind.
People live in the present while worrying about the future.
Some people are selling off their property and want to go further south, or even set sail to an island to escape disaster. And some people are purchasing land, preparing to turn this place into the last place of survival for the demons after they move south. Different people,
Different ideas and different viewpoints collide here.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Roy seemed to see the threads of fate intersecting and then scattering here.
And hanging above the heads of these threads of fate is the sharp butcher knife of the demons. When one day, this butcher knife finally falls, all these threads will be cut off.
Roy looked at the people passing by.
A businessman passing by with a camel turned to look at the street window. In the future, he might be pierced through the chest by a demon soldier's spear. Next to him, there were two children chasing each other barefoot on the street. In the future,
They may end up on the run and have no time to grow up.
This is not a fantasy, nor a curse. It is the reality that is happening in the north at this moment.
Roy couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Although he knows that his power is like a drop of water in this troubled world, there are some things that he must do!
"Leo," Tie Xiaoshan pointed to the house that turned a corner as he walked along a winding stone road, passing small buildings with staggered heights and passing through the crowds of people, "We're almost there.
We'll live there."
As soon as Tie Xiaoshan finished speaking, something suddenly happened!
Roy turned his head suddenly. He saw a black sword light flying out from the steep hillside dozens of meters away, heading straight for him.
