"Do you know who it is?" Roy frowned... Read the latest and most complete novel
"I didn't know at first." Tie Laoer tugged at his beard, wiped off the wine on it, and shook his head angrily, "Those guys just said that they offended every one of those who gave them orders.
I'm sorry. If they don't do business with us dwarves, they won't be able to make any money at most. But offending those people will be life-threatening."
As he spoke, he took another sip of wine and said: "Later, a man who claimed to be the Bano family came to the underground city. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked us, the Iron Ministry, to be loyal to their family and become their private army.
They say that only in this way can we have food. Otherwise, they guarantee that no one will dare to sell food to us."
"So, you just went to Munich to buy food?" Roy asked.
Tie Laoer nodded and said: "On the one hand, it is to purchase food, and on the other hand, after discussions with the major tribes, they decided to pave the way for returning to human society."
He sighed and said: "Actually, we also understand that when the demons invade the Land of Redemption, it is not only your human race that is in danger of being exterminated. There are also the dwarves, elves and gnomes who originally fought side by side with the human alliance. This place is already
If we lose our last habitat, we will have no retreat.
So, we discussed it and decided to take the initiative to unite with you humans. Just like we did three hundred years ago, we united to fight the demons. But..."
"But, you need food and humans to provide military supplies and wages, but you are unwilling to obey orders?" Roy said unceremoniously before Tie Laoer could complain.
When they mentioned this, the expressions of the three old dwarves suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Tie Laoer frowned and said: "Little Paozhao, this is because your human race forced us first. If they hadn't used this method, how could we have made such a request? Think about it. Under such circumstances, they still want to use us.
How can we trust the dwarves when they take advantage of them?"
Roy was silent for a while. Indeed, if he were a dwarf, he would not be willing to leave the survival and future of the tribe in the hands of such a person.
"Besides, although your human race is better than us dwarves in terms of command and strategy, you also have a lot of fools. At that time, whether it is because of selfishness or stupidity, we dwarves may suffer heavy losses. We are different from your human race. We
There is only such a small population. If too many people die, the entire clan may be exterminated..."
Tie Laoer stared at Roy and asked, "Do you think we should be more careful?"
"Yes." Roy nodded and said, "But have you ever thought about the fact that you may also make mistakes. Once at a critical moment, you disobey orders and make wrong judgments, what will happen?
The result? Besides, these demands of yours are completely based on mutual distrust. Who is willing to hand over their back to you?"
"That can't be helped!" Tie Laoer said stubbornly. "Anyway, we dwarves don't have as many minds as you humans. You can trust us, but we can't trust you."
"This..." Roy scratched his head, dumbfounded by Tie Lao Er's logic, and persuaded him, "Actually, human beings are not all what you think. There are also some who are trustworthy. For example, Grand Duke Adolf..."
"That old boy is nothing," Tie Laoer waved his hand, interrupting Roy, "I heard before that he is generous and kind. But this time he is not colluding with those guys? We can't even buy food with money.
Come on. None of his lords will be sold. Doesn’t this help others bully us?"
Roy was speechless for a while. After all, Archduke Adolf was also a member of the nobility. This status determined that he had to think about issues from the perspective of a noble lord.
Compared with the wealthy families who have inextricable relationships and entangled interests with the Lulian family, and compared with the situation of the human race and Lulian himself, it is obvious that sacrificing dwarves who have nothing to do with him is the most correct and sensible thing for him.
Choice. Even with his kindness, it is impossible to offend the public.
Thinking of this, Roy couldn't help but have a headache.
Nowadays, the demon army is pressing down on the country, but the human alliance three hundred years ago has become a mess. The dwarves are like this, and so are several other races. Coupled with the internal strife among humans, how can we resist the demons?
Roy's heart couldn't help but gradually sink to the cold bottom.
Thinking back to the final battlefield, those sealed human coalition soldiers, thinking back to the war scenes that still made people excited three hundred years later, thinking back to the blood shed under the solidified sunlight, thinking back to the sacrifices of generations, he thought
I just felt an uncontrollable emotion pressing on my chest like a volcano.
He couldn't imagine what a miserable scene it would be when the people he was familiar with fell one by one under the demon's butcher's knife.
And all this, I must not watch it happen!
Roy took a deep breath and said to Tie Laoer: "Clan leader, I won't explain the big truth. You should know better than me. I just want to ask now, are you willing to watch the demon army descend on the city and bleed with blood?
Chenghe?"
Tie Laoer and the two dwarf elders both shook their heads.
"If that's the case, then why are you so stubborn?" Roy said seriously, "If we want to truly unite to fight against the demons, we must give up those unrealistic conditions and show sincerity to ours.
Allies cooperate. Patriarch, just listen to me, I promise not to let anything you worry about happen."
"Okay." Tie Laoer nodded.
Well... when he got this unexpectedly straightforward answer, Roy almost thought he had heard wrong.
He pinched his earlobe and felt a little unable to turn around for a moment. You know, in his impression, dwarves are the most stubborn creatures in the world. Originally, he planned to be sincere and even use coercion and inducement. But he didn't expect that his moves would
Before I could use it, the old patriarch just said hello.
"Clan leader..." Roy said suspiciously, "Do you really agree to give up your conditions?"
"Have you ever seen a dwarf lie?" Tie Laoer glared, then poured a glass of wine for Roy and said, "If it were anyone else, I wouldn't agree. Even if it were you who tried to persuade me, I wouldn't agree.
After all, this is related to the lives and fortunes of thousands of people in our Ministry of Railways, and we cannot change our decision just because of your words. But..."
He said cautiously: "You are different now. You are the thunder bearer of our dwarves!"
"Is that the reason?" Roy said in surprise.
"Do you still remember the statue at the entrance of the underground city?" Tie Laoer clinked glasses with him, took a sip of wine and asked.
Roy nodded.
At the entrance to the dwarf's dungeon, there is a huge sculpture that is thirty meters high. It is a dwarf warrior, holding a big hammer in his right hand. And in his left hand, he is holding a thunderbolt-like iron drill that can open mountains.
.
"According to ancient legend," Tie Laoer said, "whenever our dwarves face the disaster of annihilation, a great warrior will step forward and, under the guidance of the God of Thunder, lead the dwarves out of hell and desert to the flowing river.
An oasis of milk and honey, of ore and inexhaustible earthly fire.”
"We call this person the Thunder Holder."
"The Thunder Holder is the messenger of the God of Thunder, the favorite of the God of Craftsmen, and the future King of the Hill appointed by the God of Dwarves."
"And you are the one who carries the thunder."
The dwarf patriarch looked at Roy seriously and said word by word: "From the moment you brought back the Flowing Fire Ax Technique and told us that you were the thunder bearer designated by that person, your will has become our ironclad
The will of all dwarves. What's more, you are the only human we trust.
We believe that no matter what decision you make, it will not harm the dwarves. You will find food for us and point us in the direction. And all we have to do is follow you. So..."
Tie Laoer's face slowly showed a smile that relied on you, and he said leisurely: "I think it must be God's will for Xiaoshan and the others to bring you back."
God's will?
In his consciousness, Roy rolled his eyes at Ax Spirit!
While Roy was chatting with the dwarves, an angry and cold voice was floating silently in the night sky of Munich.
"Find him and kill him."
The turbulent undercurrent broke through the calm river surface at this moment, causing waves to splash.
It's a bad weather night.
I don't know when, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was lightning and thunder.
When the big raindrops fell, people on the street covered their heads and ran back to their homes, or hid under the eaves of the street. The torches were extinguished, and the stalls of the night market and the tables of the open-air pubs
The chairs were also put away. Looking from the air, the city that was bustling just now became much deserted in the blink of an eye.
At this time, on the streets in the southeast and northwest of the city, heavily armed knights slowly rode out of the night and into the rain.
The iron hooves of the war horses tapped on the stone floor, making a clattering sound. Their cold steel armor reflected the candlelight from the windows on the roadside. The long shadows stretched longer and longer on the cold streets. The rain followed the hands of their hands.
The sharp lance flowed and dripped down. It was like a string of wind chimes hanging in front of the horse.
People looked at these knights in horror.
Although they wore different armors and their horse ornaments reflected different family crests, the auras they exuded were equally dangerous.
Several rebellious-looking mercenaries quickly looked away from these knights. A mother hugged her child and hid her body in the shadows under the eaves, waiting for these knights.
After passing by, he ran forward in the rain, rushed to his home in one breath, and closed the door tightly.
A nobleman's carriage came out of the way on the street. The owner and the guards in the carriage looked at the knight passing by with the same alert and fearful eyes. The guard's hand did not even dare to move towards the hilt of the sword.
, for fear that it would cause any misunderstanding and lead to death.
Groups of knights marched towards the central city from all directions in the city.
Some of them stopped at the intersection of a certain street, and others stopped outside a certain noble's residence, or in front of a certain police station, a certain mercenary group station, or a certain barracks.
.The remaining knights continued to move towards the civilian area built on the mountain.
In the south of the city, outside the gate of the Munich Guard camp, two knights, one tall and one short, stood silently. On the nearby city wall, a gray-haired old knight and a middle-aged female mage, a hundred meters apart, looked down at the military camp.
The female magician is holding a staff, with light mist wrapped around her body, and the fluctuations of magic power are like raging tides. There is no doubt that this is a powerful sage of the sky.
The two knights, one tall and one short, had sixteen battle rings spinning on their bodies.
In the night, these battle rings were like elves of light, flying up and down and circling. They exuded a terrifying aura like giant beasts from the wild, making people intimidated.
Only the old man didn't seem to have anything abnormal about him.
He just stood there quietly, with his eyelids drooped, as if he was deep in thought, and seemed to have fallen asleep. However, a terrifying pressure spread out with his slow breathing.
