Chapter 37: Breaking the Siege
After reading the letter, the dwarven king Gono Brute Hammer handed it to Queen Olivia.
Gono Hammer looked at us with a complicated expression.
"Guests, these things should not have been told to you. Since you want to go on a crusade against the Ancient Corpse Emperor, it seems that you need to make a trip to the next thing. But ...... "Gono Hammer seemed to have something to say, but he didn't
At this time, Queen Olivia also finished reading the letter.
"Your Majesty, it seems that we should send troops at once. Otherwise, once the Warsong Fortress is lost, I'm afraid we will have to finish all of it here. "Queen Olivia told the Dwarven King not to hesitate any longer
"In that case, if you don't mind, I'd like to ask you to help us dwarves fight against the Death Legion of the Ancient Corpse Emperor, and the reward will definitely not disappoint you. "The Dwarven King speaks to us sincerely
"Legion of Death?" I've heard of the Nightmare Legion of the Undead, and I really don't know much about the Legion of Death.
"Yes, this is an army of ghouls made up of the bones of the soldiers of the Delman Empire who invaded us, they can hardly be killed, unless their heads are completely shattered, or burned to the ground, otherwise they will be as if they are immortal, and it is these ghouls that we dwarves are forced to move underground. Not only that, but our sacrificed dwarven warriors will turn into new ghouls if they are not dealt with in time. The Dwarven King sighed
"In that case, let's go now, we're done, it's all gone, it's all ghouls. "I thought to myself, it's really the same as I thought, but anyway, I'm going to compete with the Ancient Corpse Emperor, helping this group of dwarves is just a bare hand, and by the way, I can try my strength, and I can also earn some money.
"Warriors, let's eat something. "The attitude of the Dwarven King immediately became very grateful to us
"Your Majesty, I will go with these warriors and tell Lord Dorum to return to Forgeon first to prepare for the defense. Queen Olivia said to the Dwarven King
"In that case, my dear Queen, you yourself will lead the army there. "The dwarven king Gono Brute Hammer clearly trusts her wife enough.
We didn't talk nonsense, and after some discussion, we had eaten enough, and the dwarven army here was assembled, and we set off at once, led by Queen Olivia, from the underground to Warsong Fortress.
In fact, the dwarven dungeon we are in is a large area under the three points of Forge, Anrela, and Warsong Fortress, and these three above-ground fortresses are also large entrances to the dwarven dungeon.
I saw that outside the palace, the dwarven army of the Brute Hammer Clan had been assembled.
The dwarven knights who rode the dwarven domesticated oryx, they were armed with axes or hammers and dwarven muskets.
There are also some dwarven warriors, they are fully armored, and their combat effectiveness is very amazing, like a fortress of humanity.
Of course, there are also dwarven puppet bronze men, but there are very few of them, and they are loaded on trailers and can only be transported over.
There were also a few steam chariots and a handful of magic crystal cannons, and the dwarves were busy loading supplies. A large amount of baggage, and a few wild boars are responsible for pulling these food, ammunition and other supplies.
Finally, get ready, we're ready to go.
Before leaving, Lord Dorum came to me and Avina alone and told us.
"I don't know how Ram is doing now, but if you go back and meet Ram, remember to tell him that I never hated him. Lord Dorum said to us meaningfully
Farewell, Dwarven King and Lord Dorum, we lead our way through the dwarven dungeons to Warsong Fortress under Olivia.
Along the way, we sat in a carriage pulled by a huge wild boar, and it might have been quicker for us to fly straight over, but obviously I didn't need to be in such a hurry.
Looking at the huge engineering and building complex of the dwarven dungeon, I still have a little admiration for these dwarves, and what surprised me the most was that it was above the dwarven dungeon. The underground caverns are usually pitch black, but this huge dwarven dungeon is not like this.
It has a starry sky, and although it is not as bright as the sun outside, it has a different taste.
The sky here, according to the dwarven queen, is due to the countless strange ores and crevices on it, which cause the sunlight to penetrate and refract.
So beneath this galaxy of stars, we traveled with the armies of the Dwarven Hammer Clan to the Warsong Fortress in the south to support them.
After a long journey, we seemed to have reached our destination. The dwarven army stopped, with countless dwarven refugees and wounded in front of them, as well as the dwarven warriors of the Warsong Clan.
Queen Olivia herself came to inspect the situation, and she was not the same as when they first met, she was armed, it was a delicate dwarven leather armor, two short dwarven muskets hanging from her waist, and she wore a cloak made of unknown fur.
These dwarves don't know much about the situation above, only that the army of ghouls that came this time is huge and menacing, and many of their villages have been slaughtered.
Looking at the demoralized dwarves, Queen Olivia ordered her troops to move on, from the entrance to the top of the passage to join the Warsong Clan's defensive campaign.
Our group came to a large, glowing stone gate, and below the stone gate was the hillside we had just passed, which was the passage between the ground and the underground of Warsong Fortress.
Seeing the Dwarven Gatekeepers of the Warsong Clan, they saluted Olivia, the Queen of the Dwarven Kingdom.
At the same time, they also looked perked up at the sight of reinforcements, and they were ordered to open the gate of this passage, and we and the dwarven army of the Brute Hammer Clan came to the surface, which was the interior of the mountain range near the Warsong Fortress.
Coming out of the ground, I felt a sense of freedom that I had not felt for a long time, and sure enough, the dragon was going to soar in the sky, but to live unsuppressed in the ground. No wonder, there are still many dwarves who are reluctant to live underground, even though they know that it will be much safer, but their stubbornness makes them choose to defend their homeland to the death.
I saw that the fortress was full of ruins, and the corpses of dwarves lay on the snow that had turned into mud.
Broken armor, weapons stuck in corpses, burning houses, it's clear that there was a terrible war here.
I didn't want to hide anything, I just half-mentally controlled the Shadow Wings to fly into the sky. Not far away, I saw several dwarven airships throwing canisters and torches down into the air, and the entire Warsong fortress built on the hill was surrounded by countless black dots of ghouls.
How do we break through this bucket of siege?
