Chapter 33 The trumpet of war has sounded
But no matter how hard Barrett struggled, Mr. Fonkelin just wouldn't reveal any hints. After many failed efforts, Barrett could only temporarily give up the idea of getting information from the dwarf in front of him.
Barrett, who returned to his companions, could hardly pretend to be indifferent under the scrutinizing gaze of the players. So I had to spread my hands: "The plan failed, and the other party didn't seem to want to tell us what the problem was with these newcomers." ”
"It seems that Mr. Fang Kelin's mouth is not as big as he said before!" Riel Lippi said with a smile.
Barrett looked at the mages in the team with a wry smile: "The other party's nickname is talkative and not unspoken, which is far from a big mouth that can't hide words, okay." ”
"Either way, your plan is failing. Is there any backup plan for that? Knowing that there was something wrong with what she had just said, Rielly immediately began to change the subject.
In response to the mage's question, Barrett spread his hands: "The attack just happened 10 hours ago, where did I have a backup plan!" Just like the plan just now, it's not a perfect plan! And the most important thing is that we don't have many familiar people in the team, and we can't start if we want to ask about anything! ”
After saying this, Barrett turned his gaze to the dwarven warrior: "Of course, the anvil should have some acquaintances here that we don't know!" So for now, it seems that this burden can only be handed over to you. ”
"Don't! Other! Other! Anvil, who suddenly became the center of attention, shook his head repeatedly, "I know dwarves, but only if I can match their looks with their names. The level of familiarity between each other may not be comparable to that of you and Mr. Fonkelin, whom you just met. I'm really not sure about things like inquiring about the news. ”
"I think Barrett is right. Anyway, you're a dwarf now! Compared to us outsiders. I think this team will trust you more. "Claymatis. Bot also began to help.
Seeing that most of the members of the team had such thoughts, Noodle also persuaded him: "No matter what the result is, you have to give the anvil a try!" Even if it fails, it's nothing. ”
"Since you've all said so, I'm going to give it a try." Anvil, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around and emphasized, "But I'm not sure about this kind of thing. Don't blame me for the failure. ”
"Don't worry! This is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and no one will blame you for failure. Barrett's words reassured the anvil.
After a while. The anvil is back with the players. He shook his head: "It turned out to be the same as Barrett's, and I didn't get any useful news. But one thing is for sure, there must be something wrong with this. Otherwise those of my compatriots wouldn't have fought with me haha. They'll just say yes. ”
"That's not all for nothing, at least we've determined that there's definitely something behind it." As he said this, Barrett nodded.
Can Clay Mattis. Bot frowned: "But we still don't know, what is the reason for this situation?" ”
"So we can only be more careful now." Barrett sighed at this.
I don't know if it's because of the failure of the previous attack of those dark elves. The rest of the journey for the player's team can be said to have gone smoothly - the black skins seem to have cleared up all the problems that the team should have encountered before attacking.
But by the time the team reached the second stop, everyone felt the breath of war - yes, the breath of war. The overall structure of the second transfer station is similar to that of the first transfer station, but because it is deeper underground. The facilities are more complete here. But the scene in front of you does not allow one to associate it with the first transit station. The charred walls, the broken buildings, and the vigilant guards. Everyone is telling everyone that there has just been a terrible battle here.
"Those dark elves are here? Could it be that the forward fortress has been breached. Barrett subconsciously let out such a cry. Immediately after that, the sound caused a commotion in the ranks. After a while, the commotion began to expand, and the aborigines who did not know the truth looked like they were in danger.
Soon, however, the leaders of the two teams stepped forward and began to organize pacification efforts. And Barrett, as the 'culprit', was invited to him by Mr. Barent.
"What you just did was deliberate!" The Lord of Stone in front of him stared at Barrett and said. His words were extremely affirmative, and did not seem to have the slightest hint of speculation.
Barrett asked in confusion, "What did you say, Mr. Barent?" I don't understand it at all! ”
"You kid, don't pretend to be stupid anymore, your words just now were definitely not made subconsciously." Speaking of this, the tall dwarf's expression was slightly disdainful, "You have to know all the subconscious words. Often, there are no more than ten words. And it's also often a bit confusing logically. But if you look at what you have just said, there is one point that meets the above requirements. If I have to put it on this time. Just pretend to be a little bit like that! ”
"Alright! Anyway, I didn't intend to hide it from anyone. "Barrett behaved like a bachelor.
"Why would you want to do such a thing! Don't you know that this might affect our mission this time? Mr. Barrant's remarks were unsentimental, but the chill in them made one shudder.
Barrett stretched out his finger and pointed to the transit station not far away: "Even if they don't have any idea about the previous attack, anyone who sees the scene in front of them will be suspicious!" Even if I don't say anything, they will have similar doubts in their hearts. On the contrary, I mentioned it so that those who had doubts were exposed. Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to solve it? If you want to ensure the morale and cohesion of the team, you can't blindly rely on concealing the truth. ”
"It doesn't matter what your reason is. But your actions have seriously disrupted the normal order of the team. The dwarven lord in front of him clenched the hammer in his hand, "For a man like yours, I have every reason to leave you to fend for yourself in the Dark Realms. ”
Barrett wasn't too worried about the intimidation of the tall dwarf in front of him: "I don't think you, Mr. Barent, would ever do that. After all, for the situation at hand. Any bit of combat power in the team is precious, isn't it? I don't think you, as a team leader, would have acted so irrationally. Besides, if you really want to throw me off. They won't talk to me before. ”
"Clever boy, this time it was your strength and the identity of the Boreham family that saved you. If there's a next time, you'll go back to the surface yourself! Mr. Barrant said as he lowered the hammer in his hand, and as the heavy weapon touched the ground, Barrett's soles felt a very noticeable tremor.
Barrett deliberately made a confident look: "I won't go back to the surface alone." Because my companions will be with me. ”
"Looks like you have faith in your companions." Then the dwarven lord's voice changed, "I hope they can be worthy of your trust!" Especially the slippery mage, I don't think she'd be willing to try her luck with you underground. ”
The dwarf powerhouse in front of him, who can be regarded as a big man, is inconvenient to give Barrett any punishment, but he is unwilling to let Barrett go like this. That's why this word is used to add to Barrett's blockage. However, the aborigines naturally find it difficult to understand the relationship between the players, and his saliva is completely wasted. And Barrett dared to take such a risk before, and he also relied on his identity as a player - it was just a big deal to die once to solve the problem. Anyway, the resurrection stones on his body haven't been used yet!
"That's it! Mr. Barrant, you don't need to sow discord in front of me. This behavior is really not in line with who you are. Barrett wasn't prepared to follow the other man's train of thought, "And just like the flaws I leaked before, you're obviously not good at this kind of language yourself." Then you can tell us. What is the reason for this? Why are we experiencing this? ”
"Do you think I'm going to tell you about this kind of guy who is afraid that the world won't be chaotic? Who can guarantee that after you know the truth of the matter, you will not do anything more excessive than before. "Mr. Barrant was clearly using that Barrett's previous actions as an excuse. In his opinion, this way of not getting the information he originally wanted should be considered a suitable punishment.
"Even if you don't say it, I probably know that those dark elves are serious this time!" Barrett touched his chin and said, "Unlike the previous harassment infiltration, although I don't know what the reason is, this time they are ready to start a war. That's why there is such a big move! ”
"Alright! I admit that your guess is roughly correct. But now that you know in your heart, what is going on. Why do you want to behave like that before. The dwarf, taller than Barrett, was almost blowing his beard and glaring at the moment.
Barrett looked up into the dwarven lord's eyes, "Because I want to know why those dark elves are doing this." After all, it has been more than 200 years since the passage appeared, and the construction of the forward fortress is more than 100 years old. Why did they fight before? At this time, he suddenly showed such a big hand. ”
"Is that reason alone worth the risk?" The dwarven lord in front of him was obviously a little incredulous.
Barrett smiled, "Who makes me curious!" Besides, I think after knowing the whole thing. Only when we are caught in it can we really settle down! ”
"Forget it! Originally, it was intended to be announced after the advance fortress, but if you are willing to keep it a secret during this time, it is not impossible to tell you first. Mr. Barrant whispered.
Barrett was really a little puzzled by what the dwarven lord in front of him was doing: "At this time, you still have to keep it secret?" ”
"I naturally have my own reasons for doing this. Do you kid want to know anything specific? The dwarf in front of him glared at Barrett as he spoke, knowing that it would be too bad to make such a move as the other party.
Barrett, who understands that the initiative is in the hands of the other party, naturally has little room for resistance: "Since you have said so, then I naturally have to comply." But even if it's a secret. I should be able to give our team some inside stories! ”
"If you can make sure they keep their mouths shut." The tall dwarf in front of him was obviously saying, 'If the news gets out of you, it's going to make you guys look good.' ’
Barrett nodded: "Don't worry! Even for the sake of the future of the anvil, we will keep our mouths shut. ”
"If you really think about him, you shouldn't have done those little things before." Mr. Barrant said, squinting his eyes. "It's been more than 200 years since our ancestors were driven out of the Shadows. After such a long time, even for the dark elves, it was enough to lick the wounds of that war. The evil god they believe in is probably already eager to send down an oracle and prepare to start a war on the surface. ”
Even the years of the underground have made it difficult for the dark elves' visual organs to adapt to the surface environment. But they never let go of their desire to return to the surface. Of course, it's more about the will of the spider god they believe in - to rule the Dark Regions, to invade and conquer the surface. Not only to rule, but also to kill all the surface elves. In order to take revenge on the elven god who is high above.
"The Dark Elves' war on the surface?" Barrett frowned, "Looks like you already know, Mr. Barent?" ”
"The forces near those passages will be somewhat aware of it! Although I am not sure, I can see some clues. "The dwarven lord is not shy about this.
Barrant let out a long sigh: "In other words, it is our new supernumeraries who are kept in the dark!" ”
"It's not just you, most of the caravans don't know why." Mr. Barrant stretched out his finger and pointed behind him, "Like those who are temporary partners, so secrecy is especially important." ”
Hearing this, Barrett became suspicious again: 'Could it be that the caravan is transporting supplies that are important to the fortress?' Mr. Barrant, is this afraid that they will retreat? (To be continued......)
