Chapter 122: Fishing in Troubled Waters (I)
"Humans are going to attack Brandon Stone?"
Kadek's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Verna standing in front of him. I didn't even care about the pastries that had fallen to the ground in my hands. If nothing else, it was Vilna who brought the news that surprised him too much.
Naturally, Kadek had known about the fact that these humans were near Brandon Stone. However, the only thing he didn't know was the intentions of these humans, so he took a decoy and asked Jenn to help him investigate. Kadek didn't fail to think that these humans were very likely to attack him, although in fact, the difference in strength between the surface and the underground was too great, and with the strength of Brandon Stone, it was more than enough to destroy a small country on the surface. The problem is that they don't really know each other, and for the Dark Regions, the surface visitors are like coming from another world. Coupled with the legends left over from the Second World War, the inhabitants of those dark regions became more and more wary and worried about visitors to the surface. It's as if the first reaction of earthlings when they hear about aliens is that the other party is a high-tech life form that manipulates UFOs to explore the earth, and it is absolutely impossible to confuse it with an orangutan that has not even degraded its hair.
Although they had fought several encounters with humans before, the Grey Dwarf's caution prevented them from figuring out the true strength of the other party. This made Kadek more and more suspicious, and Jenn didn't respond for many days, which also made Kadek startled. If the other party is really strong enough to be able to kill even a necromancer, then will he still be able to keep this Brandon Stone City?
Just when Kadek was worried, there was bad news for him ahead. That is, those humans have gathered at this moment, stationed not far from Brandon Stone. After getting the news. Kadek couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart, but at this time, he still hoped that these humans would come to communicate with him. Somewhere, they may have learned of Brandon's reputation and wanted to make a deal with the grey dwarves. Of course, if they need the help of the gray dwarves, it is not impossible as long as the price is right...............
It's a pity that the news brought by Vilna ruined the last vestiges of Kadek's illusions, are these humans really going to start the third war between heaven and earth?
Thinking of this, Kadek couldn't help but shudder, he seemed to have seen his Brandon Stone City completely ruined by those evil races from the surface.
What to do? What should I do?
Kadek threw away the dessert in his hand, stood up with a frown, and spun around anxiously. Now he doesn't have a good idea. If those humans are really as powerful as they think, then Brandon Rock City will definitely not be able to hold it! But......... Are humans really that powerful? Judging from the previous encounters with those patrols, it seems that these humans are also very good......... No, no, no, I've heard that those people are not very well equipped, maybe the surface forces sent slaves to consume us. Like the goblins of the Dark Elves, if that were the case, then there must be elite soldiers hidden behind them............
Kadek spun around, thought after thought flashing through his head, but he couldn't come up with anything safe. Even Kadek had thought about whether to leave here with his people before the other side attacked. Luckily, though, the greedy nature of the grey dwarf allowed him to dispel the seemingly crazy idea. Anyway. This is also the city of the Grey Dwarves, and it is definitely not the character of the Grey Dwarves to surrender without a fight.
By the way, what about Master Mage?
When Kadek remembered this question, he was surprised to find out. I don't know when Verna had disappeared from front of her.
What's going on here? Before the words are finished, why did the people leave?
"Great, sir. It's a big deal!! “
Just when Kadek was inexplicable, suddenly there was a rapid shouting outside. Then a gray dwarf soldier stumbled into Kadek's reception room. Before the grey dwarf archon could get angry, he spoke with a pale face.
"Humans. The Humans have invaded Brandon Stone!! “
"What? How is this possible? What's going on?!! How did they break through the line and why didn't anyone come to inform me!! What the hell are you guys up to!! ”
Hearing this, Kadek jumped to his feet. What are you kidding, Brandon's stone city is quite well defended, and even the dark elves can't easily infiltrate the tall walls. I didn't receive a report of defeat from the front, could it be that those humans were really so powerful that they broke through the defense line of the gray dwarves so easily?
"No, Lord Consul, they didn't break through the walls."
The soldier was also startled when he saw Kadek's furious appearance, and then hurriedly and cautiously explained.
"Didn't break through the walls?"
Hearing this, Kadek was even more angry.
"How did those damn humans get into my Brandon Stone City without breaking through the walls, did they dig a passage?"
"That's true, my lord! They did dig a passage into Brandon Stone! ”
"What did you say?"
Hearing this, Kadek felt that his brain went blank. He glared at the guard, unable to believe what he was saying. The Grey Dwarves are the greatest architects in the entire Dark Realm, and they know the stones of this Realm better than anyone else, and it is because of this that the Grey Dwarves have been able to survive in the Grey Realms to this day. They are more sensitive to stone than anyone else, and in general, if someone dares to dig into the corner of the gray dwarf's wall, they will never be unnoticed! But now, those humans have dug a secret passage under the noses of the gray dwarves?
Naturally, these secret passages were not dug by Locks, although humans also have a history of digging mines on the surface, but they don't have the ability to dig holes under the noses of gray dwarves. In fact, all of these secret passages were designed by Jenn a long time ago. After deciding to take Brandon Stone City under his control, Jenn sent the goblins to quietly dig a secret passage around the gray dwarves. Although the burrowing skills of the gray dwarves are indeed superb, even they have no way to escape the normal law. However, Jenn's goblins are not part of the "normal law", and it only takes a few hoes to dig out a channel, which is much faster than the gray dwarf.
Of course, Kadek would not know that Jenn was harboring evil intentions, and that his city would be dug up by humans, which was not a small irritation for Kadek.
"What about the humans?"
"The garrison is fighting them, these humans are not very strong, I think we can ..............."
"Idiot!"
Hearing this, Kadek couldn't help but reach out and punch the other party hard.
"Those humans are just pathfinders, there must be elite troops behind them!! Send someone to destroy these humans at once, and then plug the gap. All the garrisons were sent out, a state of emergency was declared in Brandon Stone, and all women and children were asked to stay at home and not go out. I'm going to go to the front line myself and see what those damned humans want to do! ”
As Kadek rushed towards the front line with the Grey Dwarf warriors of the Guard, he didn't notice that at this moment, on the Blackstone watchtower outside Brandon Stone, a pair of eyes were staring at them intensely.
"Kadek has left the Consulate."
Looking at the distant back of the gray dwarf, Werner snorted, then turned her head to look at Jenn.
"Those soldiers are searching and searching, and I think this should be our best chance."
"It's not bad, but it's not bad."
Jenn sneered at Vilna's words, and then he turned around and walked towards the stairs of the Blackstone Tower.
"Now it's up to Patilina, as for the gray dwarves......... You know what to do, Vilna. Don't worry, I think when this farce is over, you can become the leader of Brandon Stone. ”
"I hope so."
Hearing this, Werna's face couldn't help but show a smug expression, she glanced at Jenn's back, then withdrew her gaze and looked at the dark, gloomy city in front of her again.
Next, it's up to Patilina to go along with it.
And just as Kadek rushed to the front line panting with the gray dwarf soldiers, outside Brandon Stone City, Locks also frowned, looking at the girl beside him with a stern face.
"Miss Pattilina, are we really going to attack Brandon Stone?"
Locks had no idea about the identity of this strange girl in armor. All he knew was that the girl had suddenly appeared next to Jenn, and that Jenn had never mentioned her origin to him. However, her powerful fighting power and the gorgeous armor she wore made many paladins believe that Patilina should be the messenger of the god of war, a Valkyrie from the kingdom of God.
"Of course!"
Hearing Locks' inquiry, Patilina glanced at him disdainfully, then raised her spear.
"This is the master's order, we must defeat these underground bugs so they know that we are powerful! Anyway, as a warrior, now that you're here, do you still want to escape? ”
"This ..............."
Hearing this, Locks was speechless, and had to admit that Patilina's words were indeed very in line with the teachings of the god of war -- the most important thing for a warrior is to have the courage to face battle.
At this moment, even Locks himself believed that Patilina should be the embodiment of a Valkyrie.
"Good!"
Seeing that Locks no longer objected, Patilina smiled triumphantly, and then she raised her spear and pointed forward.
"So, let's put on a big fireworks show!" (To be continued......)
