Chapter 471: The Overworld
Hearing Kenstan's words, Dibinat's eyes froze, and he hesitated in his heart, unable to return, which means that there is no room for retreat, once he reaches the earthly world, no one knows what he will face, in case there is danger......
After thinking for a long time, Dibiat suddenly frowned, looked at Kenstein and said suspiciously, "Why do you dwarves know the use of this high platform?"
"This high platform record is related to an important ancient book handed down by our clan, which has a detailed introduction, which should be related to the ancestors of my dwarf race, but the specifics, this king is not clear!" Kenstein said seriously.
"Since this high platform is likely to be related to you dwarf clan, do you think it is ...... Can you change the passage of this platform so that creatures that ascend to the surface world can also return to the underground world? Dibiat was slightly surprised and said excitedly.
"It's ......," Konstein hesitated.
"It's an earthly world, with countless minerals and endless food...... What else do you have to hesitate, come and take a look, if we can change this passage, we will not only be able to enter the overworld, but if we encounter danger, we can also retreat to the underworld!" Dibiat urged.
Kenstein was amused in his heart, like a cat looking at a mouse under his paws, he knew Dibiat's character very well, greedy, unusually afraid of death, thought he was unusually witty, but in fact he was as stupid as a pig!
Just like this high platform, if it can only be a one-way passage, Dibiat will never take the tribe to risk easily, only by secretly guiding him to think that their dwarf clan can change this high platform and make it a two-way passage, he will have the courage to send a large number of kobolds to explore the surface world with their dwarf clan.
Of course, Kenstein said that it could be transformed, in fact, it was to repair this high platform, and it was not a lie, they did have someone in the dwarf clan who could repair it, and it would not have been possible to change it to one-way if it was not allowed back then, but this definitely did not include him Kenstein.
The people who can repair this high platform are said to be the only dwarven kings of previous generations, and their forging skills are not comparable to the current Kenstan, and with the forging level of today's Kenstan, they cannot repair this high platform.
The underground world is very dark, there is no sun, and it can only be lit by the light emitted by some plants and ores, and the dwarves have lost the possibility of counting the number of days, and Kenstein only knows that it has been a long, long time since the dwarves came to the underworld, and he is already the one hundred and fifty-third dwarf king after the dwarves came to the underworld.
Moreover, the lifespan of the dwarf race is more than that of most races, the average age of ordinary dwarves is about four hundred years old, and once the rune weapon is forged, after receiving the gift of the Lord of Ten Thousand Forgings, the lifespan can be increased to six or seven hundred years old, as for the dwarves who forge extraordinary weapons, the lifespan is more than one thousand years old.
After such a long period of time, Kenstein has no way of knowing the situation in the overworld, whether the legendary Terran Blood Dragon Empire still exists, whether it is still hunting aliens, and whether there are still dwarves in the overworld...... I don't know any of this.
However, with the continuous growth of the enemies of the dwarves, the pararats, the survival form of the dwarves in the underground world has actually faced a desperate situation.
Don't look at Kenstein wielding a silver hammer, showing his ferocity, and repelling an attack by the Pala rat, but in fact, it is only a small part of the Pala rat group.
Once the Pala Rat gathers a crowd, seven or eight transcendent Pala Rats, even Kenstein will have to avoid its edge, which is why the dwarves are losing in the war with the Pala Rats, and the gap in strength and number is very large!
At the same time, Kenstein knew in his heart that although he had snatched back this Phantom Flame Crystal Vein, with just a small Ghost Flame Crystal Vein, the dwarves would not be able to last long in the underground world at all.
In addition, the resources of the entire underground world are not abundant, unless they can start a war and snatch a few Flame Crystal Veins from the powerful Dark Elves, otherwise the Dwarves will face a serious shortage of resources.
However, the dwarves have long been inferior to when they first entered the underground world, relying on their strong strength, the dwarves have gnawed a large piece of fat from the mouths of the original forces, and have gained a firm foothold in the underground world.
But after so many years, the strength of the dwarf race has been slowly declining, and it is long gone from the grand occasion of the past!
With the strength of the dwarves now, not to mention fighting against the dark elves, even if it is the red scale tribe of Dibiat, the dwarves can't swallow it, otherwise why would Kenstein have to fight Dibiat here.
Therefore, for the dwarves, the wisest decision at the moment is to call the opportunity to return to the overworld, which is rich in mineral resources, and there are several materials that can replace the ghostly flame crystal.
Of course, what Kenstein hopes most now is to fool the kobold clan and rely on Dibiat's greed to let the kobold clan explore the earth world together with the dwarf clan, after all, there are a large number of black-scaled kobolds in the kobold clan, which is an excellent cannon fodder.
At the same time, the strength of the red-scaled kobolds is not weak, and in case of danger, the kobolds can also bear half of the risk for the dwarves.
"Then try it!"
Kenstein hesitated, and at the urging of Dibiat, he came to the high platform, put his palm close to the high platform, and the raging fire element spread around him, only to see the golden runes that were originally slowly rotating on the surface of the high platform suddenly accelerated, and suddenly the light flashed, and when he saw this Jingde Dibiat, his eyes lit up, and his heart was pleasantly surprised.
Kenstein withdrew his palm and exhaled.
"How? Is it possible to convert this platform into a two-way passage?" Dibiat hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.
"The structure of the runes in this high platform is very complicated, although I can change it, it will take some time!" Kenstein said lightly.
"Yes, yes, yes, if you can change, if you can change!" Dibiat, like a madman, laughed.
"But—" Kenstein tugged at his white beard, and stopped talking.
"Huh, but what?" Dibiat smiled and said hurriedly.
"There are actually two of them, one in the underground world and the other in the above-earth world, and if I want to change it to a two-way passage, not only will I have to renovate this platform, but the other will also have to be remodeled. Kenstein's face was very ugly, and he said in a deep voice.
"What's the matter, after you have transformed this high platform, you can climb the high platform and go to the earthly world, and then you will transform the high platform when you get to the earthly world. Dibiat said puzzled.
"Hmph, you stupid dog, you speak lightly, what if there is danger in the high platform of the animals in the earthly world? Maybe I won't have time to transform the high platform, and I will be attacked!" Kenstein said in a disgruntled tone, with anger on his face.
Dibiat's face froze, and after thinking about it carefully, he said helplessly: "Then what do you say to do?"
"You and your people go first, your people go to the earthly world first, guard that high platform for me, and don't let any creature approach!" Kenstein said intentionally.
"No! no!" Dibiat's pupils shrank, and he shook his head quickly, killing it wouldn't go, in case of danger, it wouldn't be over.
Kenstein was dismissive, and Dibiat's reaction was as expected.
"Then there is no way, it is impossible for this king to take risks and go to the earthly world at will!" Kenstein said coldly, and he was about to turn around.
"Don't... What if you regret it after I pass? Won't this leader be able to return to the underworld?" Dibiat's heart was anxious when he heard this, his eyes rolled slightly, and he said angrily.
"This king will not do this, if you can't believe me, I can let the rest of my clan go to the earthly world with you, what do you think?" Kenstan stopped and said to Dibiat.
"This ......"
"If you have any concerns, then forget it, anyway, it is impossible for this king to take the risk himself!" Kenstan shook and turned to leave.
"No! good...... I promise you!"
Dibiat's heart became anxious, knowing that Kenstein should not give up his people, and thinking of the endless mineral deposits in the earthly world, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
A few hours later, all the dwarven clansmen, about 10,000 people, all gathered outside the cave, and under Kenstan's order, they stepped into the top of the high platform and passed to the earthly world in turn, until there were more than a dozen dwarven elders left, Kenstan looked at Dibiat who was standing aside and said, "It's your turn?"
Seeing that the dwarf clansmen basically all climbed the high platform, Dibiat felt a lot more relieved, and waved his hand to the clansmen behind him, so the Red Scale Tribe, tens of thousands of kobolds climbed the high platform one after another and passed to the earthly world, and after the clansmen were basically gone, Dibiat looked at Kenstein and laughed darkly.
"Kenstan, I hope you don't regret it, or your people will ......" and then stepped to the top of the platform, losing his figure.
When Dibiat really left, Kenstein had a smile on his face, as long as he could take the kobold to the earthly world, Kenstan didn't care about Dibiat's anger afterwards.
In the overworld world, the kobold clan is extremely unfamiliar, because the possibility of a big war between the deception and the dwarf clan is not high, after all, if the two races are interdependent, it will be safer.
Although Dibiat is very stupid, he takes his own life very seriously, as long as he can explain the stakes, even if Dibiat wants to tear it apart, he has to endure it.
Then, with the smile of a victor, Kenstein stepped to the top of the high platform and headed to the long-awaited earthly world.
......
In the main hall, Alan was reviewing a pile of papers, and Barton hurried over and walked to Alan's desk.
"Urgent report from Lord Andy!"
Urgent?
Allen raised his head, frowned, and hurriedly took the information from Patton's hand and unfolded it.
Misty Town, Huomai County, Qingzhu Mountain collapsed?
Found an alien in the ruins?
Reading this, Allen's expression changed slightly, and he stood up, thinking of the alien race, Allen's mind had to reflect that the two races, the jackal and the nezumi, had dealt with the Red Dragon Principality.
Although it has always been Allen who has won in the face of the two races, it cannot be denied that the alien races are powerful, and they can exist on the continent for so long, which has a certain reason and has its own characteristics and advantages.
If it weren't for the strong rise of the Blood Dragon Empire back then, and the extermination of the alien races, most of the alien races would not have disappeared on the continent.
Therefore, as long as it is an alien race, it is basically a bad thing to get along, and as far as Allen knows, most of the alien races are actually very hostile to the Terrans, and they have no strong strength, and the Terrans are like lambs to the slaughter in front of the aliens, which is estimated to be one of the reasons why the Blood Dragon Empire slaughtered the aliens at that time! Allen secretly speculated in his heart.
Now that an unknown alien race suddenly appeared on the border of the principality, Alan had to pay attention to it, he had not forgotten that the gnolls raided the Principality of Kane and looted a large area of the territory of the Principality of Kane at lightning speed, which had to be guarded against, so he had to find out the specific situation as soon as possible.
Ten minutes later, the Flame Knights stationed in the palace set out, crossed the widest avenue in Red Dragon City, and rushed out of the city at a rapid pace, heading towards the west.
At the same time, an urgent order was issued from the palace, ordering the Knights of the Giant Rat stationed on the northern border with the Duchy to immediately move in the direction of Mist Town, Huomai County, the Duchy.
On the widened and expanded avenue of the Principality's Industrial Construction Office, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder rumbled, and a total of 1,500 Flame Knights were galloping, and the first Squadron was Mark, wearing a red iron armor, a blood-colored cloak, and a flaming longbow hanging on the side of the warhorse.
The knight warrior who followed behind him, also dressed in red iron armor, held an iron spear in his hand, a sword on his waist, and a green barren crossbow on the side of his horse!
As the first person to break through the low-ranking knights from the cavalry, Mark is now not only the squadron leader of the first squadron, but also the deputy commander appointed by the duke, commanding the current Flame Knights.
Since the establishment of the Flame Knights, although the training intensity is high, Allen's supply of resources has never been in shortage, with the accumulation of a large number of flame rat meat and magical fruits, there are constantly people breaking through low-level knights, such as the squadron leader and squad leader in the knights, at least knights can serve, and ordinary warriors are already cavalry strength even if they have the lowest strength.
The tallest is like Mark, whose strength has reached the limit of low-level knights, and is preparing to charge at the middle-level knights.
Under the extremely fast attack, the speed of the Flame Knights was very fast, and as time passed bit by bit, the Flame Knights from Red Dragon City were getting closer and closer to Qingzhu Mountain!
At this time, at the end of the ruins of Qingzhu Mountain, the head of the Misty Town Security Department, Kodian, was lying on the low slope with his subordinates, monitoring the alien race in the distance.
"Director, the number of those aliens seems to have increased!" "The guard next to him, Sark, said weakly, Sark is a soldier, and he is also a veteran, he has experienced several big battles, and his hands have been stained with blood, and he is more vigilant than others, unlike those guys who have squinted their eyes, this is an alien race, and he heard that it is very ferocious, and he does not dare to relax for a moment.
