At this time, overwhelmed by Luo Zhengdao's fierce questioning, the steel fist chieftain who was strict in his speculative psychology immediately withered and said in a low voice:

"Then do as Your Highness says, we only have one request, is that kind of light artillery ......?"

A few months ago, Luo Zhengdao instructed the Wake Reef Arsenal to copy the M1841 howitzer, known as the Crossing Artifact in the Old World, which was not only lightweight and easy to maneuver compared to the same type of gun that fired four-pound stone bullets in the New World, but also had a higher fire. The maximum firing range of the full charge of the howitzer is close to 2,000 yards, and the effective firing range is 1,000 yards away, and the howitzer's gun carriage adopts a disassembled design, which is conducive to carrying through the complex terrain where the gun truck cannot be towed, even if it is disassembled and reassembled, it does not take too much time, and it is indeed a guerrilla artifact.

The layman generally can't tell the difference between a cannon and a howitzer, but it's easy to tell the difference, just pay attention to the length of the barrel to know the answer.

The cannon is a long-barreled type of artillery, with a low trajectory and high direct-aiming accuracy, and a short howitzer barrel, so it can shoot at targets in a high parabola manner at a 45-degree angle, and the range can also be flexibly adjusted with the change of charge, so the range of the howitzer is farther than the cannon of the same caliber, at the cost of a difference in accuracy and penetration.

The Grey Iron Dwarves are skilled craftsmen and marksmen, and they had seen Zola Hegel use this new cannon in several exchanges with the Drow Elves, and they were immediately intrigued.

Because the boatswain's black face was too strict to deal with, the dwarves waited for the Lord Regent to come before making an offer.

Now that his eyebrows are already burning, and he doesn't have time to grind his teeth slowly, Luo Zhengdao glanced at the change in the expression of the negotiation opponent's steel fist, listened to his words, and after a little thought, he understood what the gray iron dwarf wanted. Anyway, the main way back to the ground was blocked, and these bulky weapons were not easy to bring back, so Luo Zhengdao readily agreed to hand over the new howitzers brought by Zola Hegel and himself in two batches to the Gray Iron Tribe to resist the invasion of the Drow Elves, and promised to provide more weapons and ammunition in the future according to the situation. Overjoyed, the Iron Dwarves agreed to accept the Humans' hired jobs and periodically send out metal ingots as a tribute to their vassals when the situation stabilized.

Quickly and decisively finalizing the responsibilities and rights of the two parties, Luo Zhengdao signed Will Needham's name on the parchment paper, and then pressed it under the document with some fire paint with a heraldic ring, and the Steelfist Chieftain did the same.

When both parties had completed the contract formalities, a bright and non-dazzling white light descended from the void, and a sky-blue divine emblem floated in the fluorescent white light above the document

It is difficult to say goodbye when we meet, and this famous sentence from the old world is very apt to sum up Luo Zhengdao's difficult journey and complex state of mind to leave the underground world, at this moment under his feet is a rugged stone path, winding forward into an unpredictable dark space. On both sides of this rocky road, which is less than a meter wide, is an unfathomable pitch-black abyss, and when you look at it sideways, you will feel as if even your soul will fall. Needless to say, when travelers walk on such a narrow road with torches and lighting crystals, which exudes danger all the time, the feeling of anxiety is comparable to riding on a roller coaster, is it more than a thrill to describe?

Stopping to catch his breath, Luo Zhengdao scanned the lonely and empty dark underground space with his cane, and he turned to the guide sent by the gray iron dwarf and said:

"Hey, how far is it from the exit?"

Hearing the question, the bearded dwarf who was in charge of leading the way looked wooden, pointed to the front and said:

"Two more hourglass hours to see the surface world."

Knowing that the future is bleak and full of depression, what else can Luo Zhengdao, say but sigh and move forward! However, as he walked along the way, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and his intuition told him that some kind of danger was quietly coming, and he couldn't help but say to himself:

“…… It's so calm. ”

Although it is an underground space that does not see the light of day all year round, this seemingly barren land is not in fact a lifeless desert, and those creatures that have adapted to the special geographical environment of the underground world breed and reproduce here, not to mention the night regulars such as bats. After leaving the Gray Iron Tribe from Luo Zhengdao and his party, he had trekked in the dark for so long, and he hadn't even touched a single large wild animal during the march, even if he didn't have a premonition of danger, these anomalies could undoubtedly arouse his vigilance.

After Luo Zhengdao inquired about Zola Hegel, the sailor said nonchalantly:

"The animals here were probably scared away by ferocious predators, and that's normal."

Is it normal? Luo Zhengdao didn't feel normal at all, and continued to ask:

"Zora, you're familiar with the situation here, can you guess what kind of predator it is?"

Zola Hegel, holding a piece of illuminated crystal, sniffed the air, as if intending to use his nose to find out why, and said:

"Well, Drow's strongest class is the arachnid elves, those monsters who have been punished by the spider queen and turned into half-human and half-beasts, are most suitable for ambushing the enemy in this special terrain environment, but Drow generally doesn't send arachnoid elves out to operate, those guys are too dangerous."

As the saying goes, don't talk about people during the day, and don't talk about ghosts at night, before Zola Hegel shook off all the details he knew, there was a faint sound above the heads of Luo Zhengdao and others. The boatswain was stunned at first at the sound of the unexpected movement, and then the reaction god snatched a torch and threw it into the air, and after a few seconds, the people on the stone path saw something above their heads with the faint light of the flying torch.

Seeing clearly what the situation was above his head, Luo Zhengdao's face sank, and he pulled out his revolver in his right hand, and he shouted loudly to his subordinates:

"The musketeers are ready to fight, the others are on standby. Whoever dares to move will be killed. ”

Whether the pirates were willing to obey Luo Zhengdao's order or not, they would not have room to make a different choice, this ghost place has no heaven or land, there is only one way to advance and retreat, and they can't run away if they want to. If you don't pay attention to stepping into the air, in the blink of an eye, it's goodbye to the next life, instead of being thrown to death, it's better to fight with the enemy, so that you don't die so aggrieved!

"Sizzle......"

As the murmurs drew closer, Zola Hegel turned his head to look at Luo Zhengdao, raised his saber and shouted:

"Musketeers! Aim...... Fire! ”

"Woo Woo ......"

The sound of gunshots like popping beans reverberated fiercely in the underground space, full of an illusory hazy feeling, as if every qiē born in front of him at this moment was a dream.

The main body of the army in the new world is still mortals, and the pirates are the same, the number of professionals is too small to form an army formation activity, such as Sariel Byrne's profession is overseer, Zola Hagel is a swordsman, and Vina Dubov is a ranger, these professionals are indeed first-class elites, but they account for less than one percent of the entire Luo Zhengdao fleet, although they are talents, they cannot replace the role of ordinary soldiers.

Compared with these professional killing weapons created by the spider queen's divine power, the army of goblins that they usually deal with is at most a group of amateur players, if it weren't for the scarcity of such powerful troops, the arachnid elves would have been difficult to adapt to the light conditions of the surface world, and the drow elves would have rushed to the ground to dominate the side.

The upper body of the arachnid elf is no different from that of the drow elf, and the lower body is the body of a giant spider, and it looks like it is a freak crossed with humans and beasts in third-rate sci-fi horror movies in the old world. The average arachnoid is about the size of a medium-sized van, and the agility of the eight-legged arachnid spun between the stalactites hanging from the top of the cave to dodge and leap like a fly, even if the pirates hit the sparks with stone bullets from muskets, but the answer is probably very unoptimistic.

"Don't mess around, keep the battle formation, and continue to shoot with guns!"

Knowing that it is not easy for his subordinates to persist in fighting when they encounter such an out-of-specification enemy in the treacherous terrain, how long can they hold on, it is really a gamble on character. Luo Zhengdao had no other way, but gritted his teeth and reached into the hidden pocket sewn on the cuffs, and while he flicked his fingertips, he shouted in his mouth:

"Summon—Flame Sparrow!"

"Demon-Wingman Change!"

Horizontal and vertical is to take a knife, Luo Zhengdao can also be cleared, summoning cards and magic skills are used together, no matter how painful the curse of the Aragami is, it is better than dying here today!

Cleaning up these spider elves that fly on the wall like walking on the ground, the winged summons are cheaper, can you have more legs than the winged ones? Luo Zhengdao didn't even have time to take a breath, pointed to the huge spider elves, and gave an order to the bird's beak winged man with flaming wings behind him:

"Attack them!"

"Chirp!"

After giving the order to the summon, Luo Zhengdao didn't dare to delay for even a second, and shouted to his subordinates and said:

"Go all ahead, seize the time to get through the danger zone."

I know my own affairs, the flame sparrow was originally a monster summoned by a one-star card, even if Luo Zhengdao used magic skills to turn them into winged people, in essence, they are still a bunch of scum! It would be good to buy some time for Luo Zhengdao to run silently, and if you ask too much, you will be thundered by the sky.

I don't know how far this breath went, most of the people began to gasp and feel tired, Luo Zhengdao ordered to rest in place, took the time to look at the sweaty pirates, and said:

"Everyone's alright, right?"

Without waiting for others to speak, Zola Hegel jumped up violently, and Luo Zhengdao was about to listen to what he wanted to say, but the boatswain closed his eyes and listened for a moment, and suddenly pointed to Luo Zhengdao's back and said:

"Beware, there's a voice in the back!"
