Chapter 255: Dwarven Overture

readx;

Although the dwarven army from Tekken was nominally commanded by Arno, the actual commander of this huge dwarven army was Loki the Orangebeard, Chief Bob of the Wintert tribe, and Chief Nusterle of the Celtic tribe, so Arno galloped back and went to Branine in Perland to prepare the necessary supplies.

The combined dwarven army marched fast under the leadership of the above people, and the vast white snow was soon left behind them, and the strong leg muscles of the dwarves and halflings made them quickly advance to the border pass of the Ain Dynasty, the mountain rock pass.

The majestic Shanyan Pass is a defensive barrier that stretches for nearly 100 meters, above the boundary between the dark green belt and the white zone, and overlooks the steep slope beyond the saddle of the two mountains of Kakhanda and King's Mountain. The surface of the monoliths that framed the barrier was smooth and orange-yellow, and there is no doubt that the granite was taken from the Entfes granite pit at the foot of the northern mountain of King's Mountain on the east side of the mountain in the mountain area.

Within the barrier of the mountain rock pass, there is no longer a snow-capped stone house of the Iron Fist Castle, but a number of towers made of mountain rock cobblestone, and it is no wonder that Baron Perland Arno will praise the dwarves' unique method of garrisoning, stationing more soldiers on a limited land, and the watchtower is indeed a way.

The Al Ain Empire's border guards stationed in the Shanyan Pass looked at the occasional snowy muddy road from the watchtower, and gradually appeared on the dwarven army from Tekken Castle, and the dwarves who watched rang the assembly bell and excitedly conveyed the news of the expedition to each other.

"The last time I left this mountain rock pass was two years ago when I went to see the knight jousting tournament of the Sidrion Grass Pulling Festival in Parma!" Durin the Orangebeard paused and breathed, "Who's called Arno, that guy needs our help!" Hurry up! Hurry up! Go to Shanyan Pass and meet the soldiers there! ”

"I'm lucky enough, I haven't been out of the test in my life, I only have to look at the map. But old man, I still like to look at the snow under Haflinburg, and I don't like places where there is no snow. Havrinburg Chief Nusterl patted Chief Bob of Winter, who was next to him in Port Havalore, on the shoulder, "I know you like it." Young people of the Winter tribe. ”

"Your words have made me powerful again. The years shook off my shoulders and fell. Bo Bu wiped his beard, shook his shoulders, and burst out laughing.

The white mist and goose feather snow in the sky were gone, and the land finally showed its proper color, and there was already a dark green shadow in front of them, except for the occasional snow hanging on the peaks and treetops, and the sun in the sky was no longer a vague ball of light that could only be seen in Port Havaro, Tekken, or Haflinburg, but a disc that shimmered with dazzling light.

"Look, in times of war, that friend of mine still won't give up his business." Loki looked not far ahead at the watchtower, where there were not only dwarves preparing for battle, but also a group of Trians.

It was the figure of pack horses and dart carriers, the goods of these horse teams were uniformly planted with the banner of Perland, as long as the dwarves who were a little familiar with the Yafen region of the Kingdom of Linston knew at a glance that these horse caravans were from the barony of Braning not too far from Shanyan Pass, and the composition of the caravan was quite complicated, including soldiers and bankrupt citizens of the Palma region, farmers and merchants of White Town and Entre Town, and those familiar faces of the dwarves, The red-bearded Havalo Harbor dwarf and the slightly thinner Haflinburg halfling. Although these complex creatures are extremely unpopular or hated in the royal city of Parma in the Kingdom of Rinston, they are all friendly merchants to the dwarves, they bring goods that can only be found in the kingdom of humans and elves, and buy back the handicrafts made by the dwarves and transport them to the human kingdom outside the mountain rock pass or the kingdom of the wood elves thousands of miles away. Smugglers', they only know that this caravan of horses that rub shoulders with their own army is a group of friendly merchants.

“greeting! red・beard。 A leading smuggler smiled and greeted the dwarven soldiers as they went, and tried to sell them the goods of the horse caravan, as he was holding a necklace of Lindisfark's characteristic aqua-blue jewels.

“nice・to・meet・u,terrians・merchant。” A dwarven soldier from the Wintert tribe smiled at the lead smuggler, shook his head when he saw the aqua blue jewelry necklace in the hand of the Terran, sighed, and replied in the Talk lingua franca, "Hey, I'm on the march, I can't buy your things, I think you should ship these to the port of Havalo, where the ladies of Havalo might like this." As soon as the red dwarf of the Wintert tribe finished speaking, he shook his head and passed by the 'caravan'. The watchtowers under the mountain rock pass have arrived.

“hold!” The leader Loki issued an order, "Captain Loki and two tribal chiefs have an order, the whole army stops, rest in place, we have arrived at Shanyan Pass!" Will join with the compatriots stationed here! The red dwarves of Havalor, the halflings of Havrinburg, and the dwarven guards of Tekken all stopped, and then there was a buzzing sound like bees, and the short men began to talk to each other, and the long march made them hold their stomachs.

These short guys hurriedly put on the 'Taran' helmet, while trotting all the way, while scrambling to wear armor, and stumbling out of the watchtower gate with their respective axes and throwers, and gathered in the wilderness outside the watchtower group after a while. In front of the red dwarf guard Endorf wearing the red-tasseled 'Taran' helmet.

The Red Dwarf Guard, Endorf, immediately gathered the warriors of these mountain rock passes into a phalanx. Then he walked to Rocky the Bearded, Chief Bob of Winter, and Nuster, Haflinburg, to report on the assembly.

"Very well, Endorf. Now, in the name of His Majesty the Dwarven King Estorm, I have you take your men, open your gates, and march towards Yafenburg! Orangebeard Loki nodded, and the guard General Endorf immediately waved his hand towards the Mountain Rock Pass, and the huge gate of the Mountain Rock Pass twenty or thirty feet high immediately opened. Beyond the doorway is a dark green forest.

A coalition of 4,700 dwarves has finally converged. The gate of Shanyan Pass was open to them, and various expressions appeared on the faces of these short guys, some halflings who were thinking about what was behind them suspiciously, and some red dwarves who were ecstatic and eager to step out of this snow country and see the scenery beyond the snowfield, they followed their four leaders out of the country of the Al Ain Dynasty with their own feelings, and officially stepped into the world of the Great Terran in their eyes, the land that was still temporarily called the Kingdom of Rinston.

The moment they walked out of the gate, they were greeted by a gravel road of a different style, paved with pebbles of various colors mined in the riverbed, and occasionally dotted with black clumps of horse manure. The gravel path stretched abruptly downwards and crept into the dark green forest in the distance.

The dwarves and halflings stood on tiptoe curiously to look in, but the long gravel path was hidden in the distant woods, where the snow that adorned them was barely visible above the treetops, replaced by a mist that wrapped like ribbons around the treetops. Some of them were so excited to enjoy the beautiful scenery that they sang songs written in the lingua franca:

Cross hammer, digging pickaxe,

Jingle smashed out the starlight;

rum, sledding,

Grunt drank over the ice field;

Taran Helm, Dwarven Axe,

Majestic and high-spirited to defend his hometown;

Cross hammer, digging pickaxe,

smashed out the starlight and saw the treasure;

rum, sledding,

drank the ice field and returned to his hometown;

Taran Helm, Dwarven Axe,

Defending one's hometown has earned glory;

Cross hammer, digging pickaxe,

I saw the treasure in a suitcase;

rum, sledding,

returned to his hometown to retrieve his mother-in-law;

Taran Helm, Dwarven Axe,

Winning glory brings back pride!

Dwarves, dwarves,

Hammer by hammer smash,

Pickaxe by pickaxe slowly excavated,

The treasure is underground!

Dwarves, dwarves,

Drink as much as you like one sip at a time,

Miles by mile quickly,

Hometown is ahead!

Dwarves, dwarves,

The taran helmet should be worn carefully,

The dwarven axe needs to be held firmly,

Victory is just around the corner!
