Chapter 243: Friends of the Dwarves
When the person broke off, Hesfa had a sloppy eye from maintaining the portal to the last moment. After asking Erkeim and the others to come out of the portal as well, Jian Chen's heart that had been hanging finally fell to the ground.
The sudden deterioration of the situation in the Stone Castle really scared Jian Chen half to death, and if something happened to Tren, then his relocation plan would be in big trouble.
Thankfully, Tren was able to return to Hammondale safely.
At this time, it was already night, and watching the portal slowly dissipate after He Sifa and the others came out because of the loss of the support of the magician, Jian Chen smiled.
Although things have not been going well, there have been many frustrations during this period. Even annoyed by the sudden incident, but anyway, I finally got through it.
For now. The situation of this small force in the middle of the gap is not bad, and with the return of Tren, the migration operation has been able to start again, and more importantly, with the help of the dwarves, he is no longer so overstretched in terms of materials and manpower.
You must know that what Jian Chen is doing now is a great favor for the hilly dwarves. This favor, he believes, with Hersfar's character, will definitely try to return it to himself.
Moreover, although the population of the dwarves has decreased sharply, the dwarves have a wealth of experience in dealing with undead creatures, and with the help of these dwarven warriors who have fought a hard way out of the undead in the undead land of Bairders, the operation of the Hammondale army to eliminate the undead creatures on Evermont Island will undoubtedly be smoother.
On the other hand, Catherine's sudden change of attitude towards herself also ensured that her plan could be carried out without being disturbed by the outside world, with the support of the Empress of Anger, who was still influential, the Empire would not do anything to her, and it was also in the interests of the Empire to leave with a large number of alien populations, during this time, more alien refugees poured into Hammondal, as long as these populations could be smoothly digested and absorbed, it would be quite beneficial for their future development.
As for the elven kingdom, the second batch of supplies has also been shipped, and it is estimated that it will arrive in Hammondale in a few days, due to the attitude of the elemental clan towards Jian Chen, the elf king thinks that Chen Jian may be able to further help him communicate with the elemental clan, and Catherine's attitude towards Chen Jian suddenly changed after the empire formed an alliance with the elemental clan. It even made him believe that Jian Chen had a pivotal position in the hearts of the elemental clan. Such a person, of course, must be well wooed.
This is actually a beautiful misunderstanding, but there are many people who have this kind of misunderstanding, the matter of the alliance between the elemental clan and the empire and the elven kingdom was soon known by other forces, since they knew that Jian Chen had a connection with the elemental clan, of course, all parties were very interested in this Lord of Hammondal. It just so happened that during this period of time, there were many alien refugees in Hammondal, and it was relatively easy for all parties to insert some people into Hammondal. And the news that the Elemental Clan sent an army to Hammondale to meet with Jian Chen also spread quickly.
And Chen Jian has always had secret connections with certain forces. It even made these forces think that Chen Jian was actually a guy with a sloppy style, and there was a possibility of wooing him, and at this point, Chen Jian was quite successful in his disguise.
In the eyes of these forces, Jian Chen is nothing more than a person with a bad heart for the empire. But because of the strength of the empire, he had to be obedient on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly looking for an opportunity to break away from the small lord of the empire, which is just this. This can be seen in his many small movements.
Moreover, they also believed that Jian Chen was the key to the connection with the Elemental Clan, otherwise, the Imperial side would not tolerate such a lord who was still at ease in Hammondale, and watched him move to other places without doing anything, and the Elemental Clan must have been friendly to his small lord because of Jian Chen's key role.
He must have played an indispensable role. That's why there is such a transcendent status.
At the thought of this possibility, the leaders of the various forces fidgeted, and felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching in their hearts.
They didn't know what benefits the Erathia Empire had received from the Elemental Clan through Jian Chen, not that no one had thought of simply getting Jian Chen into their own hands, but for a period of time, the defense force around Jian Chen had been greatly enhanced, and it was not easy to get in and out of the archangel to protect them.
So they can only continue to show favor to Chen Jian, hoping to use benefits to make Chen Jian fall to their side.
Among them, the Titalia Marsh Kingdom, which had a trading agreement with Chen Jian, even sent a large transport team to transport materials to Chen Jian. However, as Jian Chen expected, although the empire did not interfere with Jian Chen's transaction with the Elven Kingdom due to Catherine's relationship, it did not have a good face towards Tytaria.
The elves are allies of the empire, and on the surface, everyone always wants to be peaceful, but Tytalia, a former colony of the empire, is not an ally of the empire, and the two sides can be said to be-for-tat.
Therefore, this convoy in the name of a caravan was stopped on the border of the Empire, and it was impossible to reach Hammondale at all, although it was useless for the Tytalians to negotiate with the Empire repeatedly.
This incident further stimulated the hostility of the current regime of Tytalia towards the Empire, and everything was as Chen Jian expected.
But the empire also sternly warned Chen Jian because of this matter, asking Chen Jian not to make this kind of transaction with the enemy, in this regard, of course, Chen Jian was full of promises, he read the latest Dong Jie and washed the stream book and said that the situation was Shan) Qi Umbrella Private Claw Qi did not expect to be able to successfully trade with Titania, and Gab now has an elf heart concave and a big wronged head. Naturally, he pushed the boat with the current.
As for Catherine, because of Jian Chen's defense, Catherine thought that this was just Jian Chen's expedient measure in a hurry, and she didn't pursue it too much, after all, Jian Chen was at odds with the empire at that time, and it was understandable to do something detrimental to the interests of the empire in order to protect himself, and those materials were also food and magic materials needed to build portals, but she has now determined that Jian Chen, who is going to migrate overseas, will not pose any threat to the empire.
Therefore, this incident did not have much impact on Chen Ke.
Chen Jian has always had a fairly accurate grasp of the situation he is in and the attitudes of all parties, and he knows that he is now a sweetheart. Anyone wanted to take a bite, which was one of the reasons why he would agree to Catherine's proposal to take over the army, and he wanted to borrow Catherine's hand to protect himself. And when he was dealing with various forces. He became more and more cautious, lest he show anything, and at the same time strengthened his protection of himself, he didn't want to happen again like Morriel kidnapping him.
He can also guess that there are a lot of spies among these alien refugees now, but this is also a helpless thing, the population base has become larger, and the composition is complex, it is not easy to find out these guys, so he can only let Robert and the others do their best.
At the same time, he also realized the importance of intelligence to him, and now with Catherine's support, he can still get a lot of information through Catherine, but after going to the Evermont Islands, there is no such convenience.
It was a matter of considerable urgency to establish his own intelligence system, otherwise once he left Hammondal, Jian Chen would become blind and deaf. I didn't know anything about the situation on the mainland, but Chen Jian didn't have so many qualified manpower and resources on his hands.
However, the arrival of the hill dwarves is a solution to Jian Chen's urgent need, although the hill dwarves are not a big force, but their arms business has been done all over the continent of Erathia, Hesfa has also established his own intelligence system in various places through these caravans, although due to the problem of its own strength, this intelligence system is far less than the intelligence system of a powerful country like the empire, but it is also better than nothing.
Regarding the fact that Jian Chen hoped to borrow the intelligence system of the hill dwarves, He Sifa only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Because of Hesfa's original intention in establishing this intelligence system. More commercial purposes, as an arms dealer, of course he needs to know the situation on the mainland, the hill dwarves have no ambition to dominate the world, they want to share this system with Chen Jian with restrictions, in Hesfa's opinion, it is not impossible, he believes that the other party will not do anything unfavorable to him.
When Jian Chen invited the hill dwarves to move to the new territory with him, Hesfa agreed.
Of course, he knew that the current Hammondale was not safe, and this place was still nominally the territory of the Erathian Empire, and the hill dwarves had no reason to stay here, and the Imperial side would not agree, except to accept Jian Chen's proposal, he could not think about it.
What's more, Jian Chen also promised to send the dwarves back when they wanted to return to Baildus, and Tren also said that he had left a magical mark on Baindus and wanted to return. It's not a difficult thing to do.
While rejoicing that he had made a good human friend, Hesfa was also secretly depressed, he found that he owed more and more love to this human, and these favors did not go on like this, he didn't know when these favors would be paid off with his ability and the current situation of the hill dwarf clan.
And the dwarves of the hills are also very close to Jian Chen, the human friend of the dwarf king, because of a series of things, and now in Hammondale, the lord has a new nickname, that is, "friend of the dwarves".
This kind of saying from the hill dwarves proves that Chen Jian has been recognized by the hill dwarves.
The move of the Hill Dwarves to Hammondale soon reached Moryl's
。
Of course, Morriel also took advantage of the refugee flow to make a lot of eyes and ears in Hammondale.
Knowing that the hill dwarves were not exterminated by the Krigan attack, but escaped to Hammondale with the help of Jian Chen, and it is said that these dwarves also brought a large amount of supplies, Morriel couldn't help but be overjoyed.
If there is no accident, what you want. At this time, it is in Hammondale, and maybe it is in the hands of Jian Chen.
At this time, Jiliel was facing a new crisis, almost everything she had operated in the Beerdes Underground had been destroyed by the Kerrigans, and to make matters worse, due to her long absence and the fact that she had taken most of the army with her, some of her original bases in Negan had been unexpectedly captured by other Negan Lords.
The leak happened to rain overnight, and the devastated Mohor was a little discouraged, but the latest news from the dwarves made her pick up immediately.
For her, it was a great opportunity to seize the treasure in the hands of the dwarves.
As long as the artifact set can be completed, the soil can be grabbed again, the soldiers can be recruited again, and everything is still promising. (To be continued)
