Although it has been a long time since the invasion of the underground dwarves, most of the corpses of the dead and the remaining traces on the ground have been erased by time, but on the ruined walls, you can still see the traces of swords and axes, and on the originally whitewashed walls, in addition to the traces left by the years, there are many places that have been blackened by thick smoke, and some stained blood that has long since dried up, like a note of a killing feast.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound from a distance, and everyone immediately became vigilant.

"It's not a dwarf, let's go take a look." Hathaway whispered.

"My lord, let me take a look." Steyn. Cassel asks Hathaway for help.

"Be careful." Hathaway groaned and nodded slightly.

Wait for Steyn. After Cassel had passed, Hathaway sent another soldier to follow...... This is also to protect his safety, this person she is prepared to use, if it wasn't for his initiative this time, Hathaway would definitely not bring him here.

The sound came from behind a ruined wall, and the two men walked around silently. Cassel exclaimed...... However, there was a bit of joy in their voices, and Hathaway and the others looked at each other a few times, and they all cautiously walked around the remnant wall.

Behind the ruins of the wall, a field of farmland, saw a man in coarse cloth clothes talking to Steyn. Cassel hugged each other...... It can't be brokeback, right? Hathaway had a bit of a malicious suspicion.

"Your Excellency,"

Steyn. Cassel patted the man on the back, turned to Hathaway, and said, "This is Hubble. Sir Balak, my good friend. Hubble. This is Count Bell, from the Otiga Empire, and the others are companions of Lord Earl......"

"Humph!"

Out of Steyn. Cassel's surprise when Hubble. When Bale learned that Hathaway and the others were sent by Fervin Eighteen, he snorted coldly and looked very disdainful.

"Hubble, what do you mean by that?" Although he was a good friend, Steyn. Cassel is also a little displeased, especially now that he is currying favor with Hathaway, and he doesn't want to mess things up because of his friend's inexplicable attitude.

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If Fivinlie XVIII is not short-sighted. How could they sit idly by and watch the Alpine kingdom fall? "Hubble. Balak looked very angry.

"So Sir Balak was a visionary?"

Hathaway's face also turned cold, she was not upset with the eighteenth of Fei Wenlie, but unhappy with the other party's face to show herself, "When the underground dwarves attacked the Alpine Kingdom. Why didn't you contribute your vision to His Majesty? Why was the kingdom's elite army crushed in just a few days? And the royal city didn't hold even a day? A person who entrusts his fate to someone else. What qualifications do you have to complain? Mr. Cassel and His Excellency McKennaro would not be like that, at least they are trying to do what they think is right. ”

"I ......" Hubble. Balak was refuted so that he was speechless for a moment.

Hathaway refused to stop there, and continued: "Have you ever been an emperor? How do you know why His Majesty didn't send troops? Have you ever been at war? Do you know what a war means for the empire and its people? What did you actually do about it? I don't see any action against the dwarves underground, at least! ”

Sweat!

Everyone looked at her dumbfounded. That Hubble. Bale's eyes widened even more, and the corners of his forehead were sweating from her.

"What are you looking at?"

Hathaway glared at everyone, and then said to the stunned landlord, "Mr. Bale, I don't expect you to entertain us at a banquet, but at least invite us into the house and sit down for a while, right?" ”

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but I took the liberty of it."

Hubble. Baler was a little sober by Hathaway's bombardment, he didn't have an opinion on Hathaway, but his homeland was destroyed, and his relatives and friends were killed and injured, and he also needed to vent, so he came to his senses at this time, and immediately apologized very graciously, "Please go to the house and sit down for a while, it has just rained heavily, and you must have worked very hard." Steyn, Shaya will surely be very pleased. ”

"Shaya is safe? That's great! ”

Steyn. Cassel looked very happy, and turned back to explain to the others, "Shaya is Hubble's wife, and we are distant relatives. ”

Hubble. Balak led the group to a relatively well-preserved villa, where two servants, a man and a woman, were at work. Cassel barely calmed down and stepped forward to say hello.

"Yes, Nizzie, Carbonna, I didn't expect you to stay here." Steyn. Cassel's tone was a little emotional.

During the war, most of the servants left their master's house and ran away, and some even turned against each other, but these two people are still here, at least this heart is good.

"The master and the lady kindly took us in back then, how can we leave at this time?" Carbona had a cheeky smile on her face.

"Carbonna, Nizzie, stop doing it, get ready to entertain the guests." Hubble. Balak commanded.

"Yes, master." Carbona answered, and pulled Nizzie to prepare the meal.

"Now there are no good things, so I just make do to fill my stomach."

Hubble. Balak sighed lightly, walked up the steps, pushed open the door, and said loudly, "Shaya, look who's coming." ”

It was already noon outside, but the room was rather dark and empty, and in one of the large living rooms, except for a long wooden table that was obviously shoddy, there were several identical stools, and only an old rattan chaise longue was still in sight. On the chaise longue, a haggard woman looked at the door with a puzzled look on her face...... Hathaway noticed that the woman was empty below her knees.

"Steyn!"

Walk in Hubble at the sight of the clear. After the people next to Bale, Shaya shouted in surprise, and sat up suddenly: "Actually, you are back, what about Dora?" And little Rogess, didn't you come back together? ”

Steyn. Cassel also saw the condition of Shaya's legs at this time, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, and he replied: "No, it's just me, Dora and their mother and son are in a refugee camp on the border of the Odiga Empire, and it's quite safe there." ”

"Who are these people behind you?" Shaya had already noticed the strangers standing in the doorway that she had never seen before.

"They are my companions." Steyn. Cassel replied with some vagueness.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's really rudimentary, please sit down......" Hubble. Bale paused somewhat awkwardly.

There is a lot of open space in the house, but there are only a few stools, which is not enough to sit on.

Burriman gestured to another warrior and a few warriors, and then a few people went out, while Hathaway and the others sat on the handmade stools.

"What? Those underground dwarves didn't even spare furniture? "Steyn. Cassel sat down and asked with some sarcasm.

"That's not it, the furniture was snatched by some mobs, and Shaya's leg was broken by the mob." Hubble. Balak sighed.

"What's going on?" This answer is obviously to make Steyn. Cassel was surprised.

"After destroying the town and killing and looting, those underground dwarves are focused on the mines, and they are not interested in the survivors in the mountains and forests, unless there are too many people, otherwise they will turn a blind eye when they see them on patrol on weekdays......

Listen to Hubble. Balak recounted the current situation, but Hathaway and the others were unimpressed...... Who said 'turn a blind eye'? They're being hunted down.

"Some of the survivors still feed themselves by farming, but some of the thugs make a living by plundering their fellow citizens, and they often tell the dwarves that the survivors are angry and have no choice but to compromise on what to do. The thugs took a fancy to the furniture, and Shaya reasoned with them, only to have her legs broken......"

Not a man!

Hathaway was a little disdainful when she heard him say this, she stood up and said hello, turned to find the kitchen.

Carbona and Nizzie were preparing a meal in the kitchen when they saw her come in.

"Don't be nervous."

Hathaway smiled, but her gaze quickly swept around the kitchen...... Beans and potatoes, and a few ears of corn, were not in large quantities, and not to mention the taste, these things were not even enough for Breeman alone.

She sighed softly and took out a dozen corbel breads, three fire roots, and a large piece of meat from the storage ring...... and some other food, and then turned away.

By the time Hathaway fetches something, Carbona and Nickie's eyes were already straight...... It's not that they haven't seen anything delicious, it's just that the living environment has been bad in the past two years, and it's good to be able to eat a full meal, where can they still have the opportunity to eat bread and ham?

By the time they came to their senses, Hathaway had left the kitchen.

Back in the living room, the saddest story had obviously been finished, and several people here were a little embarrassed.

"Hubble, how much do you know about the actions of the underground dwarves?" Hathaway sat down and asked, this was the one thing she cared about the most.

"It's not very clear, their main purpose is to grab resources, and I'm afraid that any mines will be occupied by those underground dwarves. But ...... "Hubble. Balak hesitated for a moment and did not finish.

"Say! Don't spit out. "Steyn. Cassel urged.

"I feel like the attention of those underground dwarves is still on the mine on Bird's Nest Ridge." Hubble. Baller said.

Hathaway and Leonardo. Beirut glanced at each other, and there was a tacit understanding in their eyes, which coincided with their judgment.

"Why?" Steyn. Cassel asked.

"No human is allowed to enter the place, and the mine is heavily guarded," said Hubble. Mahler said. (To be continued......)
