Chapter 82: Liberation (I)
In addition to the combat effectiveness and tamability of the multi-headed lizard monster in his mouth, the abundance of time was another factor to consider, after all, three of the four gray dwarf officers present in the barracks had not forgotten how their army of hundreds of men had returned from a rout on a street in the direction of the city center.
They were impressed by the adventurous party from the surface, especially a human captain who wielded his sword like a mad dog......
And Urs probably didn't know at this time that his nickname, which had nothing to do with the word Yaguan, had inadvertently reached the hearts of several gray dwarf officers.
The leader of the "Mad Dogs" of the Thorn Squad is obviously more concerned about the underground dwarf troops who were further organized by himself to attack the gray dwarf camp soon after the battle was over than about his reputation.
Although the total population of Palomet City is much larger than that of a gray dwarf army of hundreds of people, the combat quality of those underground gnomes cannot be counted on at all, so Urs's idea is to let these little guys who have been bullied for a long time follow him to participate in this battle first.
He plans to lead his team to fight for these underground gnomes in the city, and take them with him to the fortress camp where the gray dwarves are stationed, so that they can see with the eyes that each has a natural dark vision—the villains who have invaded your homeland and trampled you under your feet on a daily basis may seem like an insurmountable chasm between you, but in fact it is nothing more than that.
Urs trusts his current strength, his judgment, and the experience of action he has inherited from the memories of his previous life.
Of course, compared to the courage and self-confidence of young people, the hearts of underground gnomes do not seem to be so steady, after all, "outliers" like Moredi can only represent the will of a very small number of people in these little guys.
And most of the underground gnomes are nervous in their hearts—there is hope in fear, and fear in anticipation.
They had only witnessed the "miracle" of Urs leading the Thorn Squad to defeat the Grey Dwarves with outnumbered enemies, and they couldn't help but have all kinds of extravagant hopes in their minds that "these outsiders might be able to save us", but when they thought about the enslavement of the Grey Dwarves over themselves and their clansmen in recent years, they were also terrified - who knew how tragic and cruel the fate of the Grey Dwarves would be if the rebellion failed?
Freedom is precious, but living is fundamental......
All in all, almost all the underground gnomes gathered in the streets of the city center were organized by Urs, who ordered them to follow the group in the direction of the city gates.
Urs didn't expect much from their immediate prowess, so he just arranged for them to follow his group.
After about half an hour, the barracks fortress established by the gray dwarves in the city finally came into view. The doors and windows of the low houses on both sides of the street along the way were closed, and although the dwarf residents of the city did not know the origin of the Thorn Squad, most of them still guessed that something big would happen in the city today, which caused the street in front of the barracks fortress to be very empty.
The underground gnomes followed behind the group, and Urs carried the cross-shaped greatsword with a slightly curled side blade on his shoulder, his chin slightly tilted, and his brown eyes turned straight to the gray dwarves on the walls of the fortress.
The distance between the two sides was longer than the range of the crossbows, and the hundreds of gray dwarven soldiers standing on the towers obeyed the orders of the four officers, and lined up along the shape of the fortress walls, the crossbowmen on the battlements maintained their aiming postures neatly, and the shield axemen and spearmen moved slightly back, freeing up a passage of limited width for several officers in the army to pass at any time.
The uncertain news of Barend's fate and the unexpected death of Rouldorf forced the command of the professional army to temporarily fall into the hands of four grey dwarf officers named Larsen, Holdheck, Olick, and Gordon.
Although Oric is older, his personality is not as calm as that of the younger generation of Larsen, and at this moment he pressed the battlements in front of him with one hand, and his eyes looked nervously at the underground gnomes led by the Thorn Squad and his group.
Larsson had witnessed the killing of Uls by Urs, and he tried his best to keep his composure, but naturally he did not dare to slack off in the battle that was about to break out.
Holdheck is like a little madman with a not quite normal mind. His size is relatively short among the dwarves, but there is no trace of fear in the eyes of the pupils, only a strange hideousness and expectation.
With this hideous expectation, he looked at the outsiders and rebels, led by Urs......
Urs raised his head and observed the Grey Dwarf Barracks Fortress that his group was about to face, and the outline of the gates of Palomet City could be roughly seen in the background a little farther away, and then lifted the cross-sword on his shoulder and looked away: "Abel." ”
Thea, Raven, Stonefist, Koto, Dorothy, and Belelis stood by his side. Abel heard Urs's voice and stepped forward with the short-handled wand given by his mentor, his black cat pet Thoros hidden in his helmet-shaped steel head.
The pitch-black cat crawled in the owner's head, and the golden and green eyes of different colors stared through the peep slit at the picture ahead.
Suddenly, the Mechanic Mage raised his wand forward, but before he could cast the corresponding spell—the ground trembled, and a deafening sound suddenly came from the side of the battlefield!
And then there was not only the loud sound of heavy objects slamming on the ground, but also the roar of some kind of monster, and listening closely under the roar, there seemed to be a scream of death.
The sound grew from far to near, and soon the attention of the people present was drawn in the direction from which it came, and everyone saw the figure of a giant beast leaping over the low houses on the street, and becoming louder and louder in the eyes of everyone.
"It's a multi-headed lizard!" The underground gnomes who followed the team were stunned for a moment, and then they all recognized what the monster that suddenly appeared was, and immediately panicked.
The multi-headed lizard has always had a terrifying "reputation" in the world beneath the surface. The huge monster was about two stories tall just by looking at it from a distance, and several python-like long necks drove multiple heads to open their teeth and claws in the air, and its limbs were heavy and swift to knock down several rooms at its feet, and then chased after several terrified gray dwarf soldiers all the way to the rampage!
It all happened very quickly, like a sudden rainstorm that caught you off guard.
The few gray dwarf soldiers who screamed in horror were naturally the ones who had been sent by Haudheck to the arena not long ago to drag the giant beast over. These well-trained professional soldiers seemed to be in time, but apparently couldn't handle the brutal hole card of the past, and were then trampled into meatloaf with a few "bangs" and "bangs" – or knocked out of the way.
It seems that at the cost of their lives, they completed the task in time.
The sudden arrival of the monster disrupted Urs's original attack plan. The black-haired young man glanced at the behemoth that had officially entered the battlefield and had no intention of stopping, and suddenly it was like a runaway chariot that continued to crash towards the place where his group was......
