Orach looked across Alex's nose to see the crimson banners scattered across the Iron Ore Ridge glowing with bad luck and stinging his eyes. The banner with a skull on it was like a sea of skulls. He couldn't help but take a few steps back, and his hooves trembled involuntarily.

"I didn't lie to you, Orach." Ota lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, his grief couldn't help but be revealed, and he pointed to the giant deer stake on the side of the Highland Mountain that blocked Alex's nose bridge, "This thing and Alex's nose bridge are the only barriers to our base camp, and I think this stake can only be as its name." ”

Aurach couldn't help but open his mouth wide, his eyes just staring directly at the iron ore ridge opposite.

"Orach, did you listen to me?" Ota choked and looked at Orach like a stranger.

"How long has it been?" After a while, Olach finally asked Ota a clueless question, as if he was struggling to jump out of his teeth.

"What has been so long, do you mean you're unconscious or how long these guys have occupied Iron Ore Ridge?" Ota shook his head, and reached out to touch Orach's forehead, "You're okay, Orach, how do I feel that you speak a little confusing when you wake up." ”

"I'm asking you how long those guys have been over there!" Olach grabbed Otta's hand on his forehead and impatiently threw it away.

"You tapped, you almost dislocated my arm! What a stubborn donkey and a fiery horse - it's a mushroom grill that drank a lot of your aunt! Ota frowned and stumbled, "2 days, just 2 days!" Our outpost in the Highland Mountains has confirmed that all of our visible outposts in Iron Ore Ridge have been burned. Alas—that is to say—our scattered family members on the other side of the Iron Mine Ridge have probably all been killed! Berkowobi owes me a drink, and Koje Winno owes me a silver coin. ”

"But these monsters obviously have a huge advantage, so why don't they attack Alex from the bridge of the nose right away? The families we have now are exhausted. Even with natural hazards, these brainless guys who win by numbers can take this place in a short time even if they work hard. Orach's expression became grim, and he looked up at the red sky, and he knew in his heart what kind of weather would be after this morning glow.

"Maybe they're just showing off in front of our families during the time when we're about to be slaughtered a little bit. Or maybe they want to surround us to death on this highland mountain that is guarded by natural danger. The latter is probably their plan, and the plan is good, and there is really not much to eat - ah, the thought of the empty barrel makes me uncomfortable! Ota spread his hands in frustration, "Oh, that's all for my story, if you think I'm still making it up." I'm going to tell you, I saved you, and you owe me a barrel of wine, before the Highlands were devoured by these ugly monsters. ”

"Devouring? That's right. Do you remember this, Ottah? One year, Goodbeine had a very small harvest and came to borrow food from his parents, but the parents refused. Orach's eyes were reminded of the past, as if the past was vivid.

"Of course, I remember that it was a very quiet year, but we didn't get much food for our Gilberg family. So the parents refused. That's why your aunt, the strong mare—has abominably raised the price of ale! Ha, what a wonderful, I got into an argument with the other Gilberg cubs, and the old guy's eyes were almost popping out! Otta smiled slightly, reflecting on the victory he had won on the only time he faced the mare Dalen.

"The group of gray-skinned and green-skinned ugly monsters on the other side doesn't look like a thousand or two thousand, and I think there are at least thousands of monsters stationed on the other side of Alex's nose, will they be as fast as we consume food? I remember when we were fleeing from Goodbay, we saw goblins and lizardmen eating the corpses of our family. Olach stood upside down, as if he was once again in a fragment of memory.

"Anyway, Alec's parents are discussing how to take their family to break out of Alex's nose or the cliff behind the highland mountain. Maybe two or three days after not seeing any reinforcements from the Wood Elves or Trians. As Lord Alec said, it's all possible that these guys are starving us to death. Otherwise, why don't they take advantage of the victory and pursue us? Ota shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly, "Ah, Orach, stop speculating in vain. Alec's experience must be more experienced than you and mine! Instead of thinking about it here, it is better to go back and rest, recuperate your spirit, and prepare for a breakthrough. ”

"Woohoo! Whew! Whew! There was a wolf howl from the Iron Mine Ridge opposite, and Orach followed the sound and looked around, only to see a cloud of dust rising from the mountain path next to the collapsed beech on the opposite Iron Mine Ridge, and a group of rickety bodies in heavy armor rode on the back of a huge wolf, and surrounded a strong monster riding on a large silver-gray wolf.

Cheers erupted from outside the makeshift shacks the goblins had haphazardly erected, and the serrated scimitars raised by the goblins in the middle of the tunnel looked like shaky ghosts that broke through the ground on the Iron Ore Ridge. Although the lizardmen with black iron spears didn't seem to show the same excitement as the goblins, they still lay respectfully on the ground along the way, sticking out their slender tongues and hissing with a slight fear.

The sturdy monster stretched out its long-nailed hands, and between the shakes of its head, it smeared its wart-covered face, revealing its eyesless red eyes, and as it glanced around, the brilliance of the crimson eyes fell on the lizardmen who were prostrate on the ground, and it flickered slightly and inadvertently flashed a mockery that bordered on contempt, but its closed black lips still showed a pair of fangs that could not be covered in the mouth.

Under the helmet, shaped like a centipede's head, the venomous face soon fell into normalcy again; On the skull-adorned shoulder armor, the group of spikes stretched out like centipede hooked feet; After the gong-like chest guard, the gray pectoral muscles are like a polished stone brick; Its right arm carried a shiny black iron mace, and the pieces of minced flesh hanging from the spikes of the hammer easily revealed its bloodthirsty nature. Even the big silver-gray wolf under its crotch was as strong as his master, and its eyes were blue with barking dogs, and the corners of the wolf's fangs were still marked with undried blood.

“СОСЁЪОлак！” Another black cheer came clearly into Orach's ears, and Orach shuddered.

"The leader of the Black Temple. Kosse Bonack! Orach remembered the nightmare of the Dwarf of Dig, who once lived in the town of Goodbey, "except that it has a terrifying nickname, Sir Cauchy." ”

Otta's face suddenly changed, and the two lips on his earthy gray face actually fought up and down, and he froze in place for a long time, staring at Alex's nose on the bridge of the cliff with fear at the giant monster representing death, "How do you know the meaning of goblins." ”

"The only thing I can't forget is the words the Digg dwarves told me. I originally thought that Kochybonak was just a distant legend. Orach looked grim, and with Horta looking at the same guy in the goblin and lizard crowd.

It raised its arms, and its nimble five fingers waved its goblins and lizardmen with a gesture, pointing to the sky and the bridge of Alex's nose, and finally it moved its ugly index finger to point directly at Orach and Ota in view, its long nails shiny black.

Suddenly, he finally opened his black lips and suddenly let out a roaring wild laugh.

The sound shook the Iron Mine Ridge and the Highland Mountains, and the reverberating laughter echoed like a death knell, and even the bridge of Alex's nose was startled by the horrible laughter and fell to an already loose rock. The Gilberg family guarding the roadside all stood upside down, clutching their weapons tightly as if they were enemies on the verge of doom.

A black cloud dragged its huge body to cover the red sun that was about to be born, and the sky gradually became gray, and the iron ore ridge was already full of ghosts. Suddenly, a thunderbolt fell from the sky and landed on the top of the Highland Mountain, startling Orach and Ota to look at each other again.

"No, they don't wait for us to attack on our own initiative, on the contrary, they are ready to attack. Not only did there be no chance, but there was no chance at all! Orach's face turned pale, and a chill of thought popped out of his teeth.

"So, parent, was his previous judgment wrong?" Otta's tongue was a little knotted, and it seemed that even his brain was beginning to disobey.

Suddenly, a torrential rain poured down from the billowing clouds, accompanied by the light of thunder and lightning shining in the sky.

"I see! Heavy rain! After the rain, these guys will attack! Divergence! Yes, we've all seen the disagreement between lizardmen and goblins over food rationing! Now we are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter in their pen! Alec's parents must have misjudged! "Olach shoots in all directions.

"Orach, you need to inform the parents!" Otta raised his hand and commanded Gilberg Tatek, who was stationed around the bridge of Alex's nose, his shout apparently stunned the family members stationed there.

"It's up to you! Horta! Orach shook off his hooves in the torrential rain and shouted as he ran towards the Highland Mountain cave, "All Gilberg brothers who can fight!" Pick up arms and stand by on the bridge of Alex's nose! Goblins and lizardmen can't be allowed to set foot on our last piece of pure land! It's a life-and-death battle – and it's coming! ”
