Chapter 272: Dangerous Mission

PS: The previous chapter has been changed!

At Taniguchi, though he didn't know what was going on, the human commander could roughly tell what was going on.

"Oh, that's amazing!"

He muttered to himself as he motioned to the warriors beside him to keep an eye out for attacking the underground dwarves who had escaped the magic blow so that he didn't slip through the net.

He wondered how there could be a magician in such a place. As incredible as he thought it was, he was still very excited.

"Pereira, Rum, go to the top of the valley, but don't run into the magician." He turned his head and ordered the two guards standing behind him.

After a frenzied spell bombardment, most of the Underground Dwarves have been wiped out, with the exception of a few who are lucky enough not to be within range of the magic strike...... But this is only temporary, and there is no way for them to climb to the top. After confirming that there would be no second round of magical strikes, the commander directed the other warriors to press forward and kill the surviving underground dwarves. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the last underground dwarf was impaled in the chest by him, "Everyone immediately clean up the battlefield, pick up useful supplies, and evacuate this side!" ”

The soldiers began to clean up the battlefield efficiently, and as a force with no logistics, they had to obtain all their needs through the guò battle, and the supplies they could use...... Even the dwarves' water bladders and clothes were the targets of their seizures, like locusts crossing the border.

"Squadron Leader!"

Largo. Seppus hurriedly walked over and reported, "There are several adults from the Ostiga Empire who want to see you, including two magicians. ”

"Where?"

Squadron Leader Dumeni. Haran looked in Taniguchi's direction. I saw seven or eight people dressed as adventurers standing at the mouth of the valley, and two of them were wearing magic robes...... His attention was mainly focused on the middle-aged man with a thinner build, not only because of his age, but also because the magic badge on the magician indicated that he was a powerful third-level magician.

"Your Excellency, I am the commander of this force, Durmeny. Haran. Thanks to your help, my brothers were able to avoid even greater casualties! "Dumeni. Haran walked over briskly and thanked the two magicians.

"You're welcome. The Underground Race is our common enemy, and we are glad to have the opportunity to fight with you, Lord Haran. "Maxim. Hansen replied with a smile on his face.

"Dumeni, you really don't recognize me?" Steyn. Cassel stepped out from behind Burleman. Stand in front of His Excellency Squadron Leader.

"Are you...... Steyn? It's you! "Dumeni. Haran's eyes widened in surprise. "Why are you so old?"

"If you live in a refugee camp for two years, you'll be older than me!"

Steyn. Cassel rolled his eyes, almost choked to death by his words, and raised his hand to punch him: "We all thought you were dead." I didn't expect you to be still in the mountains. Why not get out of here? ”

Dumeni. Harang smiled bitterly: "Where are we going to get out of here?" This is our home. Here are our comrades-in-arms, unless we die here, where can we go? ”

"Mr. Haran. When you became soldiers, did you take an oath of protection? Hathaway asked suddenly.

"Of course."

Dumeni. Harang was slightly stunned, and then replied: "I will use the sword in my hand to protect the king, my family and my homeland!" ”

"IMHO."

Hathaway stared at him, "You make me wonder. ”

What the?

Dumeni. Harang was puzzled.

Hathaway continued: "As far as I know, most of the royal family members of your country have been killed, and the land has fallen, and there are only a handful of survivors and captured warriors living on this land, and the majority of the Alps are in the refugee camps outside the city of Vannal, so I wonder, what are you guarding now?" ”

"I ......" Dumeny. Harang's face turned red, if the other party wasn't a magician, he would have been erected on top of it.

"Ameni, you're really wrong."

Steyn. Cassel sighed: "It's not that it's wrong for you to insist on fighting, but you should look a little further." ”

"Farther away?" Dumeni. Harang was a little confused.

"The wandering Alpines have had a hard time, and in the past two years in the refugee camps, tens of thousands of people have died of illness and depression alone. But this year it will improve......"

Steyn. After explaining the situation, Cassel said: "Dumeni, this is the lord of the Cordillera Lord, Your Excellency the Count of Bell, the Cordillera Territory has just developed, and it needs a lot of people to build and a lot of people to guard. General McEnnarro has already joined the Cordillera Territory, do you want to take your brothers and fight here all the time, for a goal that does not exist at all? ”

"Steyn, I see what you mean, but...... We still have many of our compatriots taken prisoner, and I can't just leave! "Dumeni. Haran had a struggling look on his face.

"But how can you save them with just a few of you?"

Steyn. Cassel was a little helpless, "If it weren't for the two mages today, even if you people succeed in the ambush, you will lose half of your manpower, and a few more battles like this, I'm afraid your best result will only be the same as your companions, is this what you are pursuing?" Don't forget, you and your brothers, they have many friends and relatives in the camp, and they need to protect them too! ”

"But we carry the honor of the kingdom on our shoulders!" Dumeni. Harang's appearance was not so much resolute as struggle.

"The honor of the kingdom has long been lost like a rag by the rotten aristocracy, and while the commoners are starving and cold in the refugee camps, the royal family and the great nobles continue to live a drunken life in the Ordgar Empire and other countries with great wealth! Who the hell are you fighting for! "Steyn. Cassel was furious.

"Your Excellency Harang, in fact, what you want to save most is those comrades of yours, right?" Hathaway asked suddenly.

"Yes, in any case, they are worthy of the kingdom, and I cannot leave them behind." Dumeni. Harang's expression was a little pained.

"You're right, they're soldiers, not slaves, they can die on the battlefield, but they can't live under the spur of an alien race like pigs and dogs."

Hathaway nodded in agreement: "Let's talk in a different place, you are familiar with this place, can you find a camp that is more hidden?" ”

"Absolutely." Dumeni. Haran nodded.

At this time, the battlefield had been cleaned, and Hathaway and the others followed the team into the mountains......

*****************

The valley was unusually silent at night, except for the sparkling light of the camp at the bottom of the valley...... The terrain is so special that it's hard to spot the dim highlights unless you get in front of you.

This is Dumeni. The secret camp of Harrang's team.

In the later stages of the war, when their troops were separated from the bulk of the army, they remained in hiding here. Haran sent people out to contact him several times, but received no feedback until the news came that the kingdom had been completely destroyed.

They returned to camp in the evening, Dumeny. After Harlan arranged for the sentinels at the front, he stayed in the tent in the center with Hathaway and the others, discussing a plan of action that sounded crazy - Hathaway decided to go into the iron mine alone, on the one hand, to find out what the underground dwarves found there, and on the other hand, to find a way to destroy it and complete the mission given to her by His Majesty the Emperor.

There is no doubt that in the eyes of everyone, this is a completely crazy decision. Having just experienced that battle, every warrior shuddered at the strength of the underground dwarves, even Maxim. Hansen, either, would not like to engage them without the protection of a melee combatant, let alone go deep into the tiger's den.

"I must advise you, this is too risky, you are entering the hinterland of the underground dwarves, and no one knows how many underground dwarves will gather there."

"And, one thing is for sure, and that's that no one will be able to help you this time, and you won't get anyone's support."

Leonardo. Beirut frowned and said, he very much hoped that he would be able to convince the mysterious and stubborn countess in front of him, but he also knew very well that his hope was extremely slim.

As he expected, Hathaway shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's the best way, everyone is taking risks, and your task is just as difficult." Since this is the most important mine for the underground dwarves, in case of danger, the guards of the other mines will inevitably gather there, and it is a good opportunity for you to rescue those prisoners of war. ”

Leonardo. Beirut sighed heavily and said, "Your words have once again shamed us men, and if possible, I am willing to complete this task in your place." ”

Everyone knew that this was completely impossible, and that a magician had to act in destroying the mines.

"What else can we do?" Maxim. Hansen is clearly not like Leonardo. Beirut cared as much about Hathaway as he cared more about whether Hathaway would be able to fulfill his mission.

In fact, he would have liked to have helped Hathaway, since no one knew the difficulties of this mission better than the magician. Of course, there is a bottom line to this kind of help, and in his opinion, such as Hathaway's behavior of going deep into the tiger's den is undoubtedly the same as suicide, and he would never do that.
