Chapter Seventy-Nine: Tanmon's Betrayal

Zero and Archie cautiously ran in the dwarven village late at night, and when they ran to the entrance of the village, they saw Kunu standing under the stone lamp at the entrance of the village with a scimitar on his back, looking at the two running with an anxious face.

"Why are you here now?" that Tanmon guy has been gone for a few minutes!" Kunu said with a frown, reproachful.

"It's okay, I can still feel him. Zero said.

"What are we going to do now?" asked Archie, gasping for air.

Zero glanced at Archie, then took out a palm-sized model of a weapon with a string tied to the end from his pocket and said to Archie, "Let's split up." I've done the lighting magic on this, Archie, you go to the clock tower in the middle of the village, climb upstairs and stay next to the alarm bell. I went after Tanmon with Kunu, and if something really happened, I would throw this weapon model into the sky. Archie, you keep an eye on the bell tower to the southeast, that's where the last eye is, and as soon as you notice a light coming up, ring the alarm bell. ”

After listening to Zero's words, Archie said with a worried face, "But...... Just the two of you......"

"Don't be abrasive, just do as Zero says, and we'll hurry up and chase that guy. Kunu interrupted Archie and urged Zero to speak.

Zero nodded and chased after Kunu in the direction of Tanmon, and Archie shouted to them, "Be careful", then turned and ran towards the bell tower.

Deep in the jungle, Zero and Kunu followed Tammon from a distance to the edge of the matrix, where they hid by a boulder and watched as Tammon crouched beside the array.

"Who is he talking to?" Kunu listened from afar as Tanmon muttered to the bushes in front of him, asking Zero in confusion.

"I don't know, it's too far away, but it's a goblin ...... talking to him," Zero said, staring at Tanmon's back.

"Can you sense a goblin?" Kunu asked.

Zero looked at Kunu and nodded firmly, his mind field could cover a range of 500 meters around him, and he could easily sense that there were no less than 30 goblins hidden in the bushes in front of Tanmon.

"Damn!" Kunu gritted his teeth and clenched his fist and smashed the boulder beside him, and he stood up and was about to rush out, but Zero immediately grabbed him.

"Don't go!" Zero persuaded as he looked at Kunu.

"If he doesn't go, he'll unravel the matrix, and it'll be too late!" said Kunu, looking back at Zero.

"He's already unraveled!" As soon as Zero's voice fell, the circular array in front of Tan Meng emitted a white faint light, and a pillar of light rose into the air, not only this pillar of light, but in the distance, a total of thirteen white pillars of light rose into the sky, and dissipated after a while.

Zero heard a bell coming from the direction of the village, and it seemed that Archie rang the alarm bell directly when he saw the pillar of light rise.

"Let's go back to the village!" Zero pulled Kunu and was about to walk back.

At this moment, Kunu broke free of Zero's hand and rushed out directly with a scimitar.

"Hey, you......" Zero called out to him from behind him.

"Tammon, you traitor!" said Kunu as he turned around, raising his knife and running towards him angrily.

Tanmon looked at Kunu who rushed towards him with a knife, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile, and dozens of goblins sprang out of the bushes behind him, and the general was about to run to the front of Tanmon and fell to the ground.

"It's so funny~ When did you start stalking me?" Tanmon asked, bending down to look at Kunu who was being pinned to the ground by a group of goblins.

"You traitor! You traitor who betrayed the dwarves! You don't contribute to your own people, you actually get involved with goblins to betray your own race! You fat pig! bastard!" Kunu looked at Tanmon viciously and cursed, he kept struggling, but the goblins on his body screamed so badly that he couldn't move.

"Shut up!" Tammon roared and kicked Kunu in the forehead, stomping his head into the dirt, his facial expression contorted like that of a madman.

"You like to scold me, don't you? You all like to laugh at me, don't you? I'm going to make you pay tonight!" Tammon kept stepping on Kunu's head, even though Kunu had fainted and stopped moving.

"That's enough, we have more important things to do. Suddenly, someone said behind Tammon.

A blue-gray goblin walked out of the bushes, and it spoke and walked to Tanmon's side step by step, behaving less like a wild goblin and more like a human.

The blue-gray goblin looked up at Tanmon and said to him in a shrill voice, "The dwarves have discovered that their matrix has been unraveled, and this dwarf is certainly not the only one who knows that you have betrayed them, and we must fight their way into the village before the dwarves are fully prepared." ”

"What if they know I've betrayed, as long as they don't have time to open the vault and unlock the sealed artifacts, they won't be a match for the goblins!" Tammon smirked as he looked in the direction of the dwarven village.

Thousands of goblins scurried out of the woods outside the matrix, screaming as they ran in the direction of the dwarven village. The shrill screams of the goblins echoed through the jungle in the middle of the night, and the whole jungle shook, dark clouds obscured the bright moon in the sky, and the night was deep and murderous.

Zero ran frantically through the jungle with his feet, and he kept running in the direction of the dwarven village. He completely underestimated Tanmon's ambitions, and underestimated the number of goblins, there were hundreds of goblins hiding in the jungle far beyond his perception, they were attacking the whole tribe, and all he could do now was to run back to the village and convey the seriousness of the matter to the dwarves. Although the dwarves are not as good as the goblins in terms of numbers, they cultivate fighting spirit, and there are many masters among them, and there are a large number of spiritual weapons and holy weapons sealed in the hidden arsenal, as long as the weapons are taken out in time and waited, the goblins may not be so easy to capture the dwarf village.

Suddenly, Zero noticed that a goblin had broken into his mind, and then he sensed that more and more goblins were starting to chase after him, unbelievably fast! He underestimated the goblin's running speed, he originally thought that the goblin would not run faster than him, but he didn't expect to catch up with him in the blink of an eye. Zero Four looked around, trying to find a place to hide, but after thinking about it, there was no way to hide on the ground, and thousands of goblins were running behind him.

Thinking of this, Zero turned directly and ran towards a towering tree, took out two knives from the storage ring as he ran, ran to the bottom of the tree and jumped hard, the knife in his hand was inserted into the trunk of the tree to stabilize his body, and he quickly climbed up the tree with his feet on the bark.

The first sun dawned, and the dawn of dawn illuminated the land. The forest was eerily quiet, there was no birdsong or beast cry as usual in the morning, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air, and the deep murderous aura seemed to hide the life in the forest, and the land was dead silent.

From time to time, the cry of goblins came from afar, and after a night of hard fighting, the dwarves were finally defeated by the attacking goblins due to their numerical inferiority. Thousands of goblins surrounded the dwarven village, and the goblins hurled stones and arrows, using their bodies to attack the dwarven defenses.

The most surprising thing was that the leader of the goblins, the yellow-skinned goblin with a long feathered hat, wielded a staff of about its height, and constantly cast magic to attack the dwarven village. On the other hand, on the dwarven side, if it weren't for Archie ringing the alarm bell in advance and giving them some time to prepare, the dwarves might not even have a chance to resist, and they were directly attacked by the goblins in their sleep.

In the end, the dwarves suffered heavy casualties, and after sacrificing hundreds of men to protect women and children, the dwarves were finally defeated by the goblin army, and the war ended in the surrender of the dwarves.

Zero detoured for almost the whole night, and finally went around the halfway point of the Casting Soldier Mountain, and saw the tragic battle at the foot of the mountain from a high place. The wails of the dwarves, the screams of the goblins, the cracking of arrows, the clashing of weapons...... The chaotic voices had been swirling in his ears. Faced with the end of the dwarves rising up and finally failing, Zero was powerless. He thought about leaving, but his conscience kept condemning him, telling him to stay here and watch the situation.

Zero didn't know what he should do next, he watched the Gu Ang patriarch lead the dwarven men to abandon the army and surrender, men, women and children were detained by the goblin in different places, Zero didn't know how to save them, he was alone, even if he could rescue a group of people under the heavy guard of the goblins, then which group should he save?

If he saves the children, the children have no combat power, and even if he can sneak in and save those children, there is no way to escape surrounded by goblins; If you go to save the men who have the ability to fight, Zero doesn't think this choice makes much sense, the male dwarves gave up the fight in order to protect the women and children, and they chose to surrender in order to avoid more heavy casualties, even if he can save the male dwarves, but the women and children are still under the control of the goblins, and the male dwarves have no fighting spirit to fight the goblins again.

Zero has always felt that the dwarves are a race that takes beliefs and customs too seriously, and they can create divine weapons that can defeat a hundred enemies, but they seal those weapons that can turn the tide of war in the vault, claiming that they are only the forgers of weapons rather than users, and they are conservative and inflexible. When you hear the news of the goblin attack, you should directly take out those powerful holy weapons in the treasure cellar to meet the enemy, with the blessing of those weapons, the outcome of this battle is really hard to say. However, the dwarves did not take out the weapons in the cellar, and finally ended up in a crushing defeat. So Zero now feels that it is not unreasonable for the dwarves to flee to the depths of the jungle by the persecution of humans on the continent, and if the dwarves are really exterminated, it will most likely be ruined by the conservative thinking of their race.

Zero complained to the dwarves as he slowly climbed along the side of the mountain to the top. The dwarven village's drawbridge to Forge Hill was destroyed by the dwarves, who didn't want the goblins to break into Forge Mountain. The reason why Zero spent the night on the Forge Hill was that the drawbridge was destroyed, and he had to make a detour to the bottom of the canyon and climb from the bottom of the climbable canyon to the Cast Hill.

After a night of running, Zero already felt a little physically exhausted, and the reason why he insisted on climbing the mountain was because his conscience had been urging him not to be ungrateful, and there was still the last hope for saving the dwarf clan on the Forge Mountain, which was the five holy weapons in the Sealed Sword Hall.

The five swords that make up the Five Elements Seal, although their original function is to seal the sword in the center of the circle as the eye of the array, which brings a curse to the entire dwarf race, but it is a matter of life and death for the dwarf race, even if the seal is broken, Zero has to pull out the five swords. This is the only way to save the dwarves right now.

Zero gritted his teeth and frowned, struggling to climb to the top of the mountain.
