New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks
"It's crazy, everybody's crazy, everything is messed up."
The red-clad fire-bearers in fiery red robes knelt in front of the Black Iron Emperor Sorisen, his whole body trembled, I don't know if it was because of fear or anger, these red-clothed fire-bearers were the most trusted servants of Emperor Thorrisen, they were ordered to defend the throne room, and when necessary, they would give everything for their emperor, even their own lives.
"The sudden plague has caused us to lose contact with the barracks, the civilians are panicking, and the Thorium Brotherhood has also blatantly set up an evacuation point in the Black Iron Bar, Your Majesty, this is a long-planned rebellion, the order within the entire city has collapsed, you must leave!"
The Black Iron nobles gathered in the throne hall, they were a little restless, this was normal, this attack was not as clear as the previous battle with the orcs, it was like a dagger in the dark pierced into the back of the heart, and before they could react, two-thirds of the defense of the Dark Furnace City had been completely disintegrated.
How does the invisible adversary who uses death and fear as weapons to bring the entire underground city into its shadows, how does this keep them from panicking?
The loyal fire-bearers presented the Emperor with a set of civilian clothes for the Emperor seated in the Flame Shadow Throne, but the next moment, the Black Iron Emperor with the ruby crown snatched the clothes and threw them on the ground.
"You let me escape my city?"
Thoresen rose from his throne, the Black Iron Emperor in his ornate robes like a raging lion:
"You told me to abandon the throne and run away? Is your emperor such a coward in your eyes? Answer me! ”
The emperor's roar made the Black Iron nobles unable to answer, but the character inherited by the Thorrison family is like this, the more difficult, the more desperate, the more it can arouse their fighting spirit, more than 200 years ago, in the face of the combined forces of the Bronze Whisker and the Brute Hammer of the Great Army, the old Prince Thorrison of the previous generation of Black Iron rulers, would rather summon otherworldly monsters to destroy everything than bow down to the enemy.
Now, the young Emperor Thoresen was faced with the same choice as his father, only this time the choice was more painful, and it had only been a few hours since the battle began, and the Black Iron Dwarves had suffered the humiliation of defeat, and most importantly, even now, no one knew who their opponent was.
It's like fighting a ghost!
"Let the Flame Warlocks set up a line of defense in the Hall of Knowledge! Let Agamanch activate all the golems that still work! ”
Thorrison stood in front of the throne, his eyes like flames shining with a decisive light: "Darkfurnace City belongs to the Black Iron Clan, and no one wants to take it away!" There's a powerful magical enchantment in the Hall of the Seven Sages, and the plague can't pass through there, listen up, cowards! ”
The Emperor's voice reverberated throughout the throne room:
"We haven't lost yet! Don't forget the power behind us! As long as it's there, no one can beat Black Iron! Right now... Do what you have to do! I'm not going anywhere, I'm just waiting for them here! Waiting for those intruders. ”
Thorrison's speech has confirmed that the Emperor's will cannot be changed again, although Thorrisson's rule over the Dark Furnace City is full of oppression and violence, and the Black Iron Dwarves also have a lot of criticism against the brutal Emperor, but at the critical moment, you can't help but admit that having such a tough ruler can indeed make people feel a lot more at ease.
At the sound of the Emperor's roar, all the nobles and the Black Iron Knights hurried out of the throne room, and they wanted to gather everyone who could still move to build the last line of defense for His Majesty the Emperor.
And after everyone had left, Emperor Thoresen sat back on his throne, and on the stone pillars on either side of the throne, the beating unquenchable fire reflected his black face in shadow, and the Emperor looked at his most trusted servant, and he said in a deep voice:
"Go to Ambassador Freiras and tell that arrogant fire demon that Black Iron needs the power of the Fire Demon King! Immediately... Right away! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The red-clad fire-bearer hurried away, leaving only Dagran in the throne room. After Emperor Thorrison was alone, a trace of hesitation flashed across the face of the resolute Black Iron Emperor, and finally, he turned around and quietly opened a secret room behind the throne and walked into it.
"Dagran, is that you?"
A soft voice sounded in the darkness, accompanied by the Black Iron Emperor turning on the light in the secret room, and in front of his eyes, a female dwarf wearing a long yellow dress, long golden hair, and a beautiful face appeared, and judging from her yellow skin, this is a copper-bearded dwarf, the real rival of the Black Iron Dwarf.
"My Moira, it's me."
Emperor Thorisson, who had always appeared as a brutal and iron-blooded person, was very gentle in the face of this female dwarf, and there was a trace of undisguised love in those eyes that were beating like flames, and he walked towards the weak female dwarf, he stroked her hair, and whispered:
"It's a terrible situation, I can't risk keeping you here, I'll let you send you out of Darkforge and go back to your father..."
When the female dwarf heard this parting voice, she immediately nervously shook Sorisen's hand, and she asked in a low voice:
"Won't you come with me? Dagran. ”
"I can't go, Moira, this is my city, this is my kingdom, when the enemy provokes, it is impossible for the men of the Thorrison family to leave everything behind and leave, but dying at the hands of the enemy does not make me feel fear, what really makes me feel fear is the difference with you."
The Black Iron Dwarf Emperor hugged his lover, and he whispered:
"The bloodline barrier makes it impossible for you to become my queen, damn it! Just give me another 2 years, and I will be able to put down those stubborn nobles and bring you the crown of the queen... Damn, maybe I won't be able to fulfill my promise to you, but Moira, in my heart, you will always be the queen of the Black Iron Dwarves, if I'm unfortunate enough to die in battle... Our son is the next emperor of Black Iron! ”
Moira. Copperbeard is no ordinary female dwarf, she is the Copperbeard Dwarven King Magni of Ironforge. Copperbeard's rebellious daughter, she longs for freedom and therefore runs away from home alone, while she and the Black Iron Emperor Dagran. The process of meeting and falling in love with Thoresen is another story.
In short, Moira had been on the battlefield, she knew well the will of the dwarven royal clan to fight, she had seen it in her father and uncle, and now, it was her dwarve's turn to step into battle.
She sensed his anger and indomitability in Dagran's tone, so she wiped away her tears, put Dagran's hand on her abdomen, and whispered:
"I am the daughter of the Copperbeard, I have the blood of the Copperbeard family in my body, and our son will have a mixture of the most noble bloodline of the Copperbeard and the Black Iron, he will not only be the Emperor of the Black Iron, my Dagran, he will be the Emperor of all the dwarves! I swear... Go to battle, my husband, and I will pray for you from afar. ”
"I know, I can hear you."
The Black Iron Emperor gritted his teeth and personally draped a strange cloak on Moella's body, after the cloak was fastened, Moella's figure slowly disappeared in front of his eyes, he watched his wife leave the secret room under the escort of the most loyal Black Iron Royal Knight, he reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then turned around and clenched the ancestral weapon of the Black Iron Dwarf Emperor.
The heavy, perfectly shaped, one-handed hammer engraved with countless runes... Dissenter.
Thoresen walked out of the chamber, sitting on the throne like his father, silently waiting for the enemy to arrive, and ten minutes later, a loud noise accompanied by screams of terror and the collapse of the golem sounded outside the throne room, and the heavy door slowly opened under the influence of an unknown force.
The King of the Dark Blades, armed with the magic sword Apocalypse, strolled into the throne hall, leaving behind him one footprint after another frozen on the frosty ground, and the Blood Lord followed behind him, and the blood serpent that had been transformed from the blood of dozens of people wrapped around Myra's blood-red robes, and as his will shook, the blood serpent also danced.
Tyrion stopped in front of Emperor Thorison, and Myra raised her hand and threw a snake-like head at the Emperor's feet, a loyal servant of the Fire Demon King and the master sent to Darkfurnace by the Fire Demon King.
A strange fire demon, a soft-bodied creature like a Naga, but these fire demons live in magma.
"You're out of backup, Dagran. Thorrisen. ”
Tyrion held the Apocalypse Demon Blade wrapped in dark red lightning in his hand, this magic blade that had been transformed twice felt that the battle was about to begin, but the very tricky magic blade that had been fed was not happy because it was about to devour the soul, perhaps in its opinion, the soul of the powerful Black Iron Emperor in front of it was no longer enough to make it feel antique.
"Your city is mine."
The King of the Blades said, "I'm sorry I didn't show up at the beginning of the war, but now that I'm here and standing on your land, don't you want to say something to me?" ”
"I've never seen you!"
Emperor Thorisen stood up from his throne, the young black iron dwarf clenched the hammer in his hand, a solid flame beating on the surface of the cold hammer, he stared at Tyrion, and said in a deep voice:
"The Black Iron Dwarves have never had a grudge against you! Why attack us? ”
The question silenced Tyrion for a moment, and finally, the King of the Blades looked up at Thoreson, to which he replied:
"I'd also like to find a high-sounding reason for this war, like hatred, like conquest, like ... Pure slaughter, but I realized that maybe this was not the answer you wanted, so let's get it straight, I've never been hostile to the Black Iron Dwarves, I've never been hostile to any race in this world, and in my opinion, you're all the same. ”
"Wow"
The magic sword was raised, and the blade curved like the moon pointed at Emperor Thoresen in front of him, and the cold sound brushed over the cold blade, like a silent music playing.
"You will eventually be cleared, just sooner or later, unfortunately, the Black Iron Dwarves are in the first place, don't think I'm a madman, Black Iron Emperor, I'm just fulfilling the responsibility that someone has to take, if you're going to fight to resist, then let's end it quickly, I don't really like fighting."
Tyrion's eyes narrowed, and he whispered:
"Because I don't take pleasure in cruelty."
"Maniac!"
When Emperor Thorrison heard this illogical answer, he felt that it was a provocation, and the howling flames burned on Thorrisen's body, making him look like a living flame, and the temperature of the entire throne room was rapidly rising as a result.
The King of the Black Iron Dwarves is not only a powerful warrior, he is also an outstanding fireman, which is the special ability that the Black Iron Dwarf was endowed with after being enslaved by the King of Firedemons, extremely friendly with fire.
"Poisoned crumbs!"
In the center of the sea of flames, Thoresen held the hammer in his left hand, his right hand parted, and a ball of lava fireball condensed to the extreme gathered in his palm, and he pounced on Tyrion with great momentum, while Myra stood aside, watching the scene, and had no intention of stepping forward to help.
"Bang"
The force of the collision of the weapons caused the Black Iron Emperor's unrivaled charge to be forcibly interrupted, and the sudden gathering of flames in Thorrison's roar, accompanied by the fireball in his right hand, smashed into Tyrion's cheek, those flames wrapped around his right arm, it looked like a giant's arm made of flames, and the central flame had turned white, which was the deadly temperature that could melt steel.
"Poof"
But the moment the flame touched Tyrian's cheek, it was like throwing a fireball into the water, making a extinguishing sound, the Black Iron Emperor's eyes widened at this moment, and at the moment when the flames dissipated, he saw Tyrion's face, under the bare blue iron ring crown on his head, a thick layer of cold ice covered Tyrion's face, and the ice that extinguished the flames faintly formed a skeletal face.
And in the next moment, the skeletal face dissipated into a cold mist, and Tyrion's calm eyes fell on Emperor Thorrison's face again, his sword-wielding left hand waved outward, and with the blessing of the dragon's power, Thorrison was like a leaf in the wind, and was thrown to the ground behind him, and he spun in the air and smashed to the ground.
He still held the black iron war hammer in his hand, but the moment he came back to his senses, a phantom-like black wing appeared in his eyes, and the figure of Tyrion standing in place had disappeared, and when he reappeared, the cold moon-shaped blade pierced his heart from the front, and the Black Iron Emperor's whole person was provoked by the blade, picked up in the air, he could even feel the buzz of the blade, but he still gritted his teeth and stared at the opponent in front of him with the most hateful gaze.
It seems to be cursing him with the last of its strength.
The King of the Dark Blades frowned, feeling the faint resistance coming from the Demon Blade Apocalypse, and after a moment, he looked at Thorrison with some pity:
"I'm sorry, I was going to give you a decent ending like a warrior, but Apocalypse apparently thinks you're still... Something is lacking. ”
