"How powerful are these dwarven hoplites?" Petro. Although Hughes is also a little skilled in martial arts, he is not a real martial artist, and it can be seen that this is a heavy cavalry is quite good.

"Very strong!" Middleton. Pust is concise and to the point.

As a famous military branch on the continent, the dwarven hoplites are as strong as the barbarian hoplites...... A human unit of the same class, even if it is more than twice their size, is definitely no match for them - here only in terms of combat effectiveness, not in terms of tactics.

"Why is it completely unimpressive? Such a strong army should be very famous. "Petro. Hughes muttered softly.

"You're neither a warrior nor a soldier, so of course you won't know. Moreover, the dwarven kingdom has not participated in any war for a long time, and ordinary people certainly do not know the prestige of the dwarven heavy horse. ”

Middleton. Pust smiled, looking at this rolling cavalry, there was a strong envy in his eyes, don't look at them There are only hundreds of horses, but the field shown is like a rolling torrent, invincible and unstoppable.

In a matter of moments, the dwarven heavy cavalry had appeared in front of them...... About 100 meters away from Hathaway and the others, they stopped at the same time.

Uniform!

Neither the knight nor the mount made a single noise, and the movement was impeccable, except for the heavy snort of the mountain lizards and the dust that was gradually falling under their feet.

Everyone fell silent, and their eyes watched curiously and scrutinantly the continent's famous hoplites, and the knights were also observing them...... A dwarf who has always been known for his modesty and honesty. At this time, the appearance was unruly, and the sharp gaze swept over everyone one by one, which made the Hughes brothers and sisters, who were not good at force, very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

"Aren't there any other tribesmen, Alia? Why didn't you come together? Hathaway asked in a low voice.

"My father and the rest of the clan should be behind, and this team is sent by the guardian clan to be sent by you." Alia. Fogu said.

Well?

Hathaway raised her eyebrows, and she was immediately overjoyed...... This news is so shocking that any lord, seeing this heavy horse, can't help but want to get them.

Heavy black armor covers the whole body. It's like a chunky black rock. The visor is a reversal of the dwarf's simple style, very hideous, and the eyes are a horizontal line, which looks like the eyes of a beast. The mouth and nose are densely perforated...... That's for breathing. The look at this equipment makes people feel terrified. Even the alpine lizard under the crotch. They are also covered with heavy armor, and they are ridden as one, and ordinary military heavy crossbows may not be able to hurt them. It looks like hundreds of mobile fortresses.

An alpine lizard came out of the crowd and stopped not far from Hathaway, the knight on it lifted his visor and grinned, "Lord Earl, we meet again." ”

"Old Fogu, you should call me by my name."

Seeing the familiar face, Hathaway also had a smile on her face.

"Father!"

Alia. Fugu pounced like a milk swallow in the forest...... The girl still carried her stick in her hand.

"Be careful!" Gullit. Forgu was startled and hurriedly reached out to catch his daughter.

"I'm fine." Alia. Furgu tugged at his beard and coquettishly.

Sweat!

Gullit. Fugu carefully removed the stick that almost stabbed him in the face, and said with a dark face: "You are a girl, you carry a stick around every day, what kind of body do you become?" ”

"When I was a child, you still praised me for coming, why has it changed now?" Alia. Forgu pursed his lips dissatisfied.

Gullit. Forgu's mind was full of black lines, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Uncle Gullit, won't you introduce us to it?" Another dwarf rushed up from behind, and he lifted his visor, revealing his ...... Sweat! How so?

The appearance and height of the dwarf, in Hathaway's opinion, are like being stuck out of a mold, except when there is a large age difference, they can only be recognized.

The face in front of me is better than that of Gullit. Fogu's face was much younger, but much more heroic, and when he looked like there, there was a sense of oppression that Hathaway rarely felt...... Definitely a gold-rank warrior.

"Hehe, let me introduce,"

Gullit. Fgou patted her daughter's head fondly, let go of her, and introduced them to both parties: "Hathaway, this is my nephew, Bahrain. Forgu is also the commander of this army. Bahrain, this is the Countess of the Cordillera Plateau, Hathaway. Bel. ”

"Fortunately! Lord Fogu. Hathaway gracefully made a noble salute...... She didn't wear a magic robe today, and she also wanted to make a good impression on the other party.

Bahrain. Forgou's gaze fell on Hathaway...... At this moment, Hathaway felt as if a sharp sword was about to pierce her eyes, and two warm vitality surged up, counteracting the compelling momentum.

Although it was not ugly, Hathaway felt a little unhappy in her heart, feeling that the other party was too rude. Fuguten strode up to Hathaway and knelt down on one knee: "Bahrain. Under the orders of the Council of Elders of the Guardian Clan, in the name of our god Moradin, Fogu led his five hundred knights to pledge allegiance to the lord, and from today onwards, I wish to drive on behalf of the lord! ”

Hathaway was stunned for a moment, the displeasure just now had already disappeared, she pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Your Excellency Forgu, if in the future, the instructions given to you by the elders of the guardian clan conflict with my orders, what should you do?" ”

Everyone next to them was stunned, but then they all looked at Bahrain thoughtfully. Forgu, see how he answers.

Bahrain. Forgu and the Gullit father and daughter next to him were also stunned, and they didn't expect Hathaway to ask such a tricky question.

He bowed his head and muttered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "My lord, the guardian clan is ordered by the king to protect you, and is ordered to drive, unless there is an order from the king, or the will of our god Moradin, the guardian clan will obey your orders." ”

In fact, the last dwarven king gave orders to the guardians, so as long as Hathaway met the conditions, they had to obey the king's orders, and basically it was impossible for the elders of the guardian clan to give orders against Hathaway, unless a new dwarven king created and lifted the guardian order, or Hathaway's actions violated Moradin's will, they could not turn their backs on Hathaway...... The relics representing the inheritance of the throne have disappeared with the disappearance of the dwarven king, so the dwarven tribe has no king so far, only a council of elders united by various tribes, exercising the king's mission, but without the holy relics in hand, the guardian clan will not accept orders contrary to the will of the last king at all.

"Lord Forgu, welcome to the Cordillera Collar!" Hathaway smiled with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Lord."

Bahrain. Fogu stood up and suddenly asked, "My lord, I wonder when you plan to enter Perseusburg?" ”

Hathaway's eyes flashed, and she said, "Although my bloodline can protect me from the curse, considering that I will not only have to face the curse after entering it, but I will also have to make some preparations, and when the time is right, I will enter the castle." ”

"Yes." Bahrain. Vergu answered, standing behind Hathaway.

In fact, Hathaway knows that the Guardian Clan ...... Including the entire dwarves, like everyone else, thought that Perseusburg was odd, and in their minds, this oddity was probably related to their missing king, but there was no way, so far, no one had been able to solve the mystery, and they were all waiting to see the new lord, but Hathaway was too young to know when she would be able to enter the castle.

The migration of the Dwarven Guardian Clan has obviously brought a certain amount of shock. But regarding the Guardian Clan's allegiance to Hathaway, everyone present that day was ordered to ban the mouth...... Fortunately, because it is the 'Cursed Land', there are almost no people in a radius of 100 miles, and even adventurers rarely enter this area. Therefore, no one knows the relationship between the Guardian Clan and Hathaway, but there are many people who want to fight the dwarves of this tribe, and I heard that even Archduke Casif has sent someone to visit this dwarven tribe, and its intention to solicit is undoubted, but it is only Gullit, who represents the tribe. Fogu spoke so well that he didn't answer at all.

The hoplites who arrived early were meant to show the attitude of the Guardians, and although not all of the tribes had migrated over, the population of the tribe had since exceeded 5,000 men, and Hathaway had designated a place for them to live more than ten miles from Fort Perseus, and a large dwarven market town was quickly formed...... That's all for later.

"Hathaway, this time, I have two things to tell you." After temporarily settling the dwarves, Gullit. The Fogus and their daughter followed Hathaway back to the Lord's House.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing the old dwarf's solemn expression, Hathaway's expression became solemn.

Gullit. Fugu said in a deep voice: "One thing is the rumor, it is said that the casualty ratio of adventurers who have entered the dark region has increased significantly in recent times, there are many people whose whereabouts are unknown, and there are many underground races that frequently enter the surface. ”

"You mean......" Hathaway thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but have a look of surprise on her face.

This is just speculation, not necessarily fact. Moreover, the entrance to the dark area of the Cordillera Plateau is not very large, and the location is very obvious, even if there is a war, it will not be the direction of the main attack. ”

"If there is a war, when will it break out?" Hathaway asked.

"It's hard to say, there won't be much movement in a short period of time. It's just that you have to be careful when entering and exiting the dark region during this time. "Gullit. Fogu reminded.

"I'll ask the Adventurers' Guild, though...... I'm afraid I can't arbitrarily tell them that war is going to break out, can I? Hathaway asked with a wry smile. (To be continued......)
