With the help of Pepano's covert spells, the Tianwen team left Prince Thor's army and headed northwest to search for the armies of the other dwarven clans.

"Griffith, is this your plan?" Galadia approached Xiao Yan's side, "Although I know that politics is so dirty, your strategy this time is too bad!" If you're going to do evil big BSS, you're going to do a great job. ”

Xiao Yan turned to look at his companion. The girl was very close to him, almost shoulder to shoulder.

"How?" Galadia looked at him quizzically, "Do you have a more evil, deeper plan that you haven't told us?" ”

Sonya, Valkyrie, and Joshua almost all stopped, waiting for Xiao Yan's answer.

"Valkyrie, what do you think?" Xiao Yan asked the red-haired girl abruptly.

"Hey, why are you asking me?" Valkyrie raised an eyebrow, "Well, I'll admit it, we're at a stalemate right now, and if we're dragged here and can't bring back reinforcements, we're probably not going to be able to save Prince Commodus from Storm's End, and what awaits us will be the punishment of obliteration." ”

"I don't think it's fair that Griffith is the bad guy every time." Sonia whispered, "It was the same last time, and the burden of completing the task is on you alone. If it spreads, Griffith will have a bad reputation for sowing discord among the dwarven clans. ”

"I have benefited greatly from the choice that Lord Griffith has made, and it is my honor to be by your side," Joshua said with a firm face, "If one day I have to make such a choice and fulfill my obligations, I hope to be as firm as Master Griffith." ”

"Blame the will of the world, and fate," Valkyrie was silent, "there are always people who need to stand up for responsibility and stigma. It is precisely because people like you Griffith are so rare and different that you are often not understood. I'm thinking about some of my previous thoughts...... Apologize, please accept my apologies for pushing you into such an awkward situation because I didn't have a better solution. ”

Valkyrie apologized to Xiao Yan, but her heart seemed to be thinking about other people and memories.

"Okay, okay~ I don't think Griffiths will mind." Galadia patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, "Actually, what I'm more concerned about is that the problems brought by Prince Thor still exist at the moment, Griffith, do you have deeper plans going on?" ”

"Guess." Xiao Yan blinked.

The Tianwen team wandered around the mountains, taking advantage of Odulas' vision to spot a powerful force of wolf cavalry. More than 300 orc wolf cavalry gathered from the valley in all directions to their commander Sorge, and under Xiao Yan's nose, they followed Prince Thor's team towards the deep mountains.

A squad of five wolf cavalry stepped forward to the flank of the brigade to reconnoitre, and almost ran into the Tianwen team.

The wolf of the wolf cavalry squad seemed to smell something strange, and vigilantly jumped on a rock and looked around, before leaving after about a quarter of an hour without finding anything.

Behind them, an army of more than 3,000 orcs, goblins, ogres, and mountain monsters marched at a rapid pace. They are neatly equipped and have strict orders, and they don't look like they were embarrassed before. The powerful mountain monster is even as high as 5, and it is a rare soldier of the ogre clan who has appeared.

These orc armies used a giant burrower-like creature to open the way between the mountain peaks, and in a matter of days, Prince Thor's party would be overtaken by the orc army that had cut corners.

In the vicinity of these orc armies, it is likely that more troops are gathering.

……

To the west of Tbilisi, in the mountains closer to the Darenmir Sea, lived an important branch of the kingdom of Lorraine, the Orazim dwarves. Their mines are rich in Mithril ore, hence the name Mithril Clan.

Their current patriarch, the venerable Duke Salahaedin Misrat, led 5,000 elite soldiers from their underground city of Orazim to the east, preparing to meet Prince Lorraine on the shores of the cold lake at the foot of the cold mountain.

Just as the dwarves were heading towards the cold mountain, a small group of powerful humans came to Salahadin.

"Lord Duke, I am the eldest daughter of the Count of Lamour, Sonia de Lamour." Sonia lifted her cloak to reveal a beauty that amazed the dwarves, "As the representative of Romania, I propose our diplomatic proposal to the Duke. ”

Instead of conveying Prince Thor's order for the Mithril Clan to go to the outskirts of Cold Mountain to attract attention, Sonia brought a two-part proposal.

First, Romania informed the Mithril of the orc army that was following the prince, and promised to assist the prince as soon as possible. After the Prince's crisis is resolved, humanity will continue to assist in the operation to reclaim the Heart of the Mountains by going deep into the Cold Mountains.

If the first plan is not realized, Prince Thor is unfortunately killed, and the blood of the royal family of Lorraine is severed, the Romanian side will fully support the Mithril clan to control the dwarven kingdom, and will still help to find the heart of the mountains; In exchange, the Mithril clan needs to provide no less than 3,000 elite soldiers and heavy weapons to participate in the decisive battle under Storm's Rest as soon as possible.

Sonia looked at the Grand Duke sitting in a chair and said, "Once we have successfully relieved Prince Commodus, the Romanian side will provide an army, as well as mages and knights, to support the Mithril clan in the war in the Kingdom of Lorraine. ”

The Duke of Salahardin stroked his beard and pondered with interest the human proposal. His eldest son, Thorn Misrati, could not understand what his father was thinking.

"Lord Duke, my retainers have locked on the position of Prince Thor, and a powerful orc army is trying to ambush him." Sonia did not wait for the duke's reply and continued, "Your Excellency, please decide. ”

"Father, humans are right." Young Master Thorn also stepped forward, "Although it is very dangerous to march under the nose of the dragon, we cannot sit idly by and watch Prince Thor fall into an ambush. We can throw away the heavy artillery and march lightly in the valley, which will be much faster and we will be safer. ”

Xiao Yan was by Sonya's side as a guard, and the words just now were prepared by him. At this moment, the expressions and actions of Duke Salahardin and his eldest son, Thorn, fell into his eyes without reservation.

Duke Salahaedin Misrati did not give a verbal reply expressing his wishes, but his silent gesture meant more than any words.

"As expected." Xiao Yan nodded secretly in his heart.

"Well, then, let's carry out that plan."
