Chapter 72: End, Beginning

The Terran slaves at the gates of the city were ready to die, and if they could exchange their deaths for the freedom of other people, they would die without regret.

They had the will to die, but it was clear that a straight man of steel like Aragorn would not let that happen. Since he promised to treat them as his own people and subjects, he will take care of their safety as much as possible.

Aragorn leaped forward sideways, passing through a gap between the crowd with minimal space, swinging his sword in the air, slashing eight dwarven guards around with a single sword, but not a single human wounded.

"Run out of the city, I'm here."

Unbeknownst to Aragorn, his small gesture was in exchange for the sworn allegiance of this group of humans.

Aragorn was enough to defend the city gates with one man and one sword, but instead of fleeing as he thought, the Terran slaves picked up the dwarven equipment and followed him after him.

The Terrans are not snakeheads, and they have no combat power to speak of, but this group of humans without combat power are fearless to follow Aragorn to fight, which makes Aragorn's hard heart melt a trace of softness in the deepest part.

The Terrans were a good race, not as bad as he had thought.

The army of the snakehead tribe entered the city, and the human race rushed to lead the way, guide the direction, carry materials, transport food, and operate war equipment for the snakehead people. Even though the snake-headed clan is a cold-blooded animal, at this moment, they feel the warmth of the human race. It's nice to have humans to help.

There weren't many defenders in Ironstone, and the defenders were untrained dwarven guards, so the battle didn't last long before it ended.

The snakehead people looked at the industrious Terrans at a loss, and the Terrans spontaneously began to clean up the battlefield, clear the materials, and repair the weapons of war. These things that once made the snakeheads anxious are now well organized by humans.

Aragorn touched the left atrium with his right hand, as if feeling the beating of his own heart.

"Liu Fan, you humans are good, and it is my honor to fight with you humans."

Liu Fan smiled, showing a normal smile for the first time.

"Patriarch, from now on, you can rest assured that you can go on the expedition, in the later stage, there will be human beings here, you don't have to worry about it at all."

"Hmmm......"

Aragorn looked at the hardworking humans, stood up, and a command caught the attention of all humans.

"Let's work hard, strive to finish all the work before tonight, tonight, let's open a warehouse and have a full meal!"

Have a full meal......

The magic of this sentence increased the speed of everyone's work in an instant, and the humans had forgotten how long it had been since they had eaten a full meal, and now in order to have a full meal, the Terrans worked desperately to report the kindness of the patriarch of the Serpent Head Clan.

The human race is an emotional animal, if you are good to me, I will be better to you, this is to repay the gratitude.

While the Terrans and the Serpents were eating and drinking, the battle was over in the central battlefield. The Dwarven Third Army was defeated and suffered countless losses. The Fourth Army, with the exception of Miller's Division, was relatively complete, and the rest of the divisions lost more than half. The Combine also suffered heavy losses and did not take advantage of anything. The troops of all sides hastily withdrew their troops and returned to the camp.

The Combine had already suppressed the dwarves, and the barbarian creatures did not care as much about life and death as the dwarves, so for them, they were happy and satisfied with today's fight.

After returning to the camp, he learned that the army of the Snake Head Clan had raided and taken the city of the Dwarves, completely cutting off the supply of the Dwarves, and the entire Combine Army went crazy.

Aren't you dwarves awesome, aren't you well-equipped, come on, I see that you can last a few days without eating, come on, pretentious!

Unlike the Combine celebrations, the Dwarven armies are devastated, like mourners. Not to mention the loss of more than half of the troops in today's war, now the grain and grass are cut off again. The remaining food and grass is less than three days, and now let alone attack, whether or not it can survive is a question.

The commander of the Fourth Army, Tong Shan, was full of sorrow. Ask Cayenne Road,

"What do we do now?"

Cayenne was obviously much calmer than Coppermountain, and asked rhetorically:

"What do you think should be done?"

The copper mountain blows the beard and glares at the eyes,

"What else can we do, there are only two ways out now, the first is to storm the snake head clan and recapture Ironstone City, otherwise the whole army will starve to death here."

Cayenne shook his head and denied:

"This is unrealistic, our current military strength may not be able to take it, and even if we take it, we will suffer heavy losses, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"The other is to storm the camp of the Coalition Army, plunder their food, and at the same time send a message for help to the First Army and the Second Army, asking them to come and save us."

Cayenne looked at Copper Mountain helplessly, how did such a guy sit in the same position as himself......

"It's hard to say whether we can eat the food of savage creatures or not? They even eat their own people, and even the food you plundered back is the corpses of our dwarven people, do you expect us to eat the corpses of our own people? ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say?"

Cayenne's eyes froze, and he had a bold idea.

"I have an idea. We bypassed Ironstone City and went straight home. ”

Tongshan didn't even think about it, so he directly denied it.

"What's the matter, this can't be, the nearest city doesn't say whether the supplies are enough, it's too late, and it will take five days at the earliest."

"What if we abandon our armor and march lightly?"

Copper Mountain was furious,

"You want us to abandon our weapons and equipment, this is the greatest insult to the dwarves, I ......"

"Don't tell me that it's useless, I'll ask you if you want to live. This is the best way we can retain our troops. Back in the country, the equipment can be rebuilt, and if they all die here, there will really be nothing left......"

Coppermountain was completely speechless, he knew that Cayenne was right. He struggled for a long time, thought about it for a whole night, and before sunrise, Tongshan made a decision, agreed to Cayenne's method, discarded his equipment and returned home overnight.

Legend has it that many races among the savage creatures fought for this batch of supplies and suffered heavy losses.

Since then, the war of the dwarves against Narrius has ended. Of the 80,000 dwarven army, less than half of them returned home, not only did they not seize the land of Narrius, but also lost the territory around Ironstone.

The Combine suffered heavy losses, and with the exception of the rise of the Serpent Heads, many of the other barbarian creatures were killed, and many races were devastated. In particular, the kobold clan was almost wiped out.

The war of the dwarves is over, but the human race is still there, the human oath of extermination of the kobold is still there, and all the savage creatures are vigilant about whether the human race will become the second dwarf race.

Human beings, after this war, are also greatly damaged, and the national strength is seriously depleted. However, a large amount of dwarven equipment and kobold resources were obtained.

The Terrans decided to use this batch of equipment to upgrade to a third-level base and begin to form hoplites and cavalry, and at the same time upgrade the hero altar, preparing to recruit a third hero, Zhang Liao!
