Chapter 673: The Unlucky Underground Gnome

Migration?

Henry's first reaction when he heard this was that these underground gnomes must have been attacked by some terrifying creature.

You must know that this is a dark area, and once most races have established a gathering place, they will not take it lightly, because there are too many unknown dangers in the dark, and the slightest mistake can lead to disastrous consequences, such as the death of the entire race or being captured as slaves.

It can be said that every time you are forced to migrate, you are gambling with your own life, and if you are lucky, you will be able to find a new place to establish a town and start living and reproducing again after paying a certain amount of sacrifice. If you're unlucky, there's not much to say, either becoming food for monsters, or being captured by the Eye Demons, Mind Flayers, Grey Dwarves, and Dark Elves and becoming miserable slaves.

There is no doubt that these little men are in great trouble, and if they do not help, then they will suffer heavy losses, even if they are all annihilated and captured by the Kou Tao Fishmen.

After all, the Kou Tao Fishmen are a very ancient race, once the uncrowned king of the ocean, but in ancient times there was a tragic war with the surface inhabitants, and finally failed miserably for unknown reasons, and was almost wiped out, except for a very few who fled back to the sea, the rest all entered the dark region to hide, and it was at this time that the Shahua Fishman seized the hegemony of the deep sea.

Although these guys have lost the cornerstone of civilization and degenerated into primitive tribal forms, they still have a lot of sophisticated weapons and armor. Of course, this is not because of their skillful forging and mining techniques, but because they often loot underpowered caravans and hawkers, plus they are more knowledgeable than goblins, orcs, kobolds, and the like. That's why he became one of the most notorious bandits in the Dark Realm.

It is different from the streamlined body that the Sawa Fishman has been training in the deep sea for a long time. The Kotao Fishman has a head like an ordinary fish. The whole country is covered with gray or brown scales, due to the long-term survival in dark and narrow places, the limbs have been degenerated, there are webbing between the fingers and toes, generally live in places with sufficient water, a bit like frogs, belonging to amphibians.

After a few seconds of reflection, Henry felt that he couldn't just watch hundreds of underground gnomes being wiped out. Therefore, he immediately ordered: "Let the war trolls take the lead, and in five minutes let the soldiers attack from the flank, completely destroy the Kou Tao Fishmen entrenched here, and help these little ones by the way." ”

"Yes, I'll go get ready." Antleb was as good as ever in execution, almost never asking why, and doing exactly what he was told. Perhaps it was because of this that Robert kept him firmly at the head of the Dark Elf Assassin Squad.

As soon as he heard that he was going to fight, the bloodthirsty dwarven berserker immediately jumped out and shouted, "I haven't cut people for a long time, so I'm just using these stinky fish to move my muscles and bones." You must know that Old Kogan is an expert at killing fish. Whether it's a fish that can be eaten or a fish that can't be eaten, I only need an axe. ”

"You're sure you're not going to kill and kill and lose control. When the time comes, even those underground gnomes will be cut down together? Henry asked with a skeptical expression. He didn't want to let this crazy dwarf in front of him turn into a massacre because of the crazy dwarf in front of him.

"Hehe, don't worry, I promise I'll never cut those dwarfs, they're too weak to be interesting at all." Kogan replied with a big grin as he drew his axes from his waist and ran towards the front of the line on his short legs.

Seeing the impatient appearance of the dwarven warrior, Henry couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and directly patted Solaufen who was standing next to him: "Baron, I'll give you a task, go and keep an eye on Kogan, I don't think that with his current state, he can keep his sanity in battle." ”

"Well, I'll do my best, you know, he's not easy to deal with when he's crazy......" Solauphon said as he drew his weapon and followed with a helpless expression. He had seen with his own eyes the appearance of Kogan after turning on his berserk ability, he was like a demon crawling out of the abyss, and if he hadn't shown his spell-like ability, I am afraid that some people would have suspected that this guy was also the son of Baal.

To be precise, this dwarven berserker understands the true meaning of killing even better than most of the children of the god of killing, and never has mercy on any enemy in battle, including the elderly, women, children, and domestic animals.

Henry had seen many powerful warriors, including Vaughn, the orc Vaughan, the orc chief of the Northlands, Sacham, the orc warrior who had been made into alchemic life, the culprit of the Baldur's Gate turmoil, Shalophok, the famous Mithril Five, the leader of the Shahua fishmen, Jacques Houas, and the most powerful thief in Askatra, Arcanis......

Of course, Aberdell is one of them, some of them are ambitious, some are full of ideals, some are strict to the bottom line, and some are loyal to the organization, but none of them have been like Kogan, who treats fighting and killing as a pleasure, and is very happy to experience the feeling of hovering between life and death.

Undoubtedly, this is rather abnormal, almost completely violating one of the instincts of living beings, to hide from danger.

As we all know, all animals living in nature, including humans, dwarves, elves, etc., all have some innate instincts, such as breathing, and then eating, and avoiding danger is one of them. Although intelligent beings can forcibly suppress this impulse through a series of trainings, it is never possible to turn it into enjoyment.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't been busy and couldn't spare time, he would have wanted to give the old dwarf a full body examination to see what had caused this incredible change.

Antlaib moved very quickly, and after only five minutes it was planned to attack from the flank.

Dressed in heavy armor, the war trolls wielded terrifying battering rams, wielding specially crafted heavy weapons to cut a path through the enemy. Every time they roared, they could bring a bloody storm, and instantly killed the Kou Tao fishman by surprise, and the originally tight formation inevitably appeared chaotic, and the human soldiers who followed quickly followed, and the flickering cold light of the spear forest harvested life in pieces.

Not to be outdone, the dark elves, who are skilled in squad combat, burst through the cracks in the enemy's formation in the blink of an eye, and also released their natural ability "Dark Enchantment", which instantly turned the turbulent battlefield into a pot of porridge. Because they couldn't see what was going on around them, many Kou Tao fishmen accidentally fought with their peers, and it didn't take long for the pool not far away to turn red.

"The stone is on top! Those dark elves are actually helping us?!! "Gao Dande. Blackstone exclaimed in surprise. As the leader of this underground gnome migration party, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Keep in mind that the Dark Elves often oppress the underground gnomes and force them to pay a large amount of tribute, otherwise they will send commandos to kill some of the gnomes' patrols or prospecting teams as a warning. Of course, sometimes this killing may also be done to please the goddess Rose.

"Your Excellency Mayor, the attack of the Kou Tao Fishmen has stopped, should we evacuate immediately?" A panting warrior asked aloud.

Gao Dande glanced at the situation on the battlefield, and finally shook his head helplessly: "No, there are too many women, old people and children in our team, and we can't escape the pursuit of the dark elves. Now we can only pray that they are really here to help us, otherwise ......"

"Otherwise, we'll die." Another old gnome in a robe took the words. He wears the Guardian Deity of the Underground Gnomes, Colladelen, on his chest. The emblem of the skater looks like a clergyman.

"You're right, Seend. Ageford, but I don't think it's that bad. You see, there are also a large number of light-skinned guys among them, who feel a bit like surface dwellers. Goldade gestured to the human soldiers in front of him armed with spears, shields, and daggers.

Seender narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully for a few seconds, then nodded slightly: "That's right, they should be human." The real army has always been strange, maybe we should send an emissary to contact it. Also, remember to bring some gemstones as a gift to better show kindness. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the darkness: "I have heard your kindness, as for the gems, forget it." ”

"Who? Who's there? Gao Dande immediately stood up nervously, one of his hands tightly gripping the emerald gem hanging from his neck. It contains a powerful magic unique to underground gnomes, which can instantly summon a five-meter-tall earth elemental composed entirely of hard rock as soon as it is activated.

"Relax, little man, we have no ill will, otherwise those dark elves and human soldiers wouldn't just attack the Koutao Fishmen." After saying that, several figures walked out of the depths of the tunnel, and it was Henry and his teammates.

After seeing his true face, Godander widened his eyes, and then opened his arms and ran towards Apodell. As he ran, he shouted, "Aha! I thought it was someone, but it was you adventurers from the surface. How's it going, how have you been doing? ”

"Not bad, what about you? Why did you leave your village? Apodell bent down and hugged the gnome and asked with a smile.

Hearing this question, Gao Dande immediately cried and sighed with a sad face: "Hey...... Not to mention, do you remember the pit that was sealed? ”

Apodell nodded slightly: "Of course, you accidentally dug a passage to the bottomless abyss and provoked a powerful demon, or I personally sealed it off." How? Could it be that the demon has escaped again! ”

"Unfortunately, yesterday's earthquake caused the pit to crack open again, and it was bigger than before, and there were so many bad demons pouring in from inside that we couldn't hold it out, so we had to pack up our things and run out in a hurry." After speaking, not only Gao Dande, but even the other underground gnomes were also depressed.

But it's no wonder that anyone who is driven out of their homes by a group of robbers will not be able to feel much better, let alone migrate through dangerous dark areas...... (To be continued......)
