The originally distinctive dwarven stone steps were full of shocking fractures and fissures, and the elves left their human allies out of their sight and ran to Black Mountain to observe the situation.

The majestic and solemn gate of the past was tightly closed at this time, and the dwarven warriors who guarded the gate in the past were all over the place, and one of the corpses still maintained the posture of resisting the mechanism of closing the gate, so that the huge portal naturally could not be closed by manpower, and the dwarves created a special mechanism to control the opening and closing, but at this moment, next to the dwarven warriors who still insisted on closing the gate before they died, there were several strange corpses that were large or small, and definitely did not belong to the dwarf clan.

"What is this?!" Eletrielle, adorned with flowers on her leather armor, exclaimed quietly, for she had never seen anything like this in the forest.

As the captain, Leimon Kerr shook his head solemnly, rushed forward, and lifted one of the monsters as black as a dog, the hideous fangs wrapped around the monster's mouth, and a few sparks erupted from the dog's head, and a sulfur smell wafted up.

The elf frowned in disgust, but he threw the corpse to the ground, pulled out the dagger at his waist with a sonorous sound, and stabbed the monster in the abdomen, and then pulled hard, but what flowed out was not internal organs and blood, but a black viscous liquid, Lemonkel turned the knife edge upside down, only to see that although the monster had something similar to internal organs, it was as black and red as a burning rock, and the monster was dead at this time, and the red was so dim that it was like a bonfire about to be extinguished.

"It seems to be a kind of demon ......" He dropped the monster and said to the team members behind him, and found two more monster corpses, and after dissecting them, he was sure that this monster was definitely not a normal life.

He looked at Elitriel and said in a deep voice: "Remember, this kind of monster that looks like a hound, named [Aulust], this kind of dwarf monster is very similar to those dwarves, I saw that they have eaten the corpses of dwarves, and named it [Omoritte]. ”

Lemonkel glanced at the tightly closed door and said to everyone, "Go back!" We have to inform humanity of the situation here, and this door cannot be opened lightly. ”

……

"Open the door!"

With the news from the elven scouts, Buckley patiently waited for the first reinforcements, and after the three thousand divine guards built improvised fortifications and fortresses near Montenegro, he finally gritted his teeth and decided to open the closed gates of the dwarven kingdom.

With an order, the best prepared human warriors pushed the mechanism hard, the sound of gears and machines running with a strange charm, and the warriors who opened the door also hurriedly retreated, waiting to raise the torches in their hands, the ground in front of the gate has been poured with fire oil, as long as the situation is not right, it will be ignited immediately, no matter what will rush out of the gate, it should be able to buy a certain amount of time for the warriors.

Even with the help of the authorities, the opening of the gate was still a very slow thing, the heavy gate slowly retreated on both sides, and you could feel how staggering the weight of the gate was just by hearing the sound of movement, but what was even more surprising was the large opening of the gate, and the group of dwarves standing behind the gate with frightened pale expressions.

"What's going on?" One of the fighters who opened the door said subconsciously.

The dwarves with frightened faces and the aftermath of the catastrophe had not yet reacted from the sudden opening of the closed gate, and when the warrior's inquiry floated through the door, the dwarves suddenly rushed out of the door screaming as if they had just come to their senses!

"Get out of the way! Are these dwarves crazy?! The Guardian warriors at the gate roared, and quickly stepped back to make way for the dwarves, who were embarrassed and rushed down the stone steps in a panic, but they could not get out of the fortifications and fortresses that had been built in advance.

After hundreds of dwarves rushed down, a group of heavily armed dwarves finally rushed out of the door, rushed out of the gate and roared, "Who opened the gate against the will of His Majesty?!" ”

However, no one in the vicinity of the human warriors carried the [Fluent Language] scroll, and for a while no one knew what the dwarf said, but the dwarf obviously didn't expect anyone to answer, and the leading captain flicked his head, and someone behind him wanted to move the mechanism to close the gate again.

"Ahh Contrary to the will of the Dwarven King to close the gates of the kingdom! These cowards do not want to face the crisis with their brothers and sisters, and now that you open the door and let them go, I will kill you and ask Your Majesty for their guilt! ”

Although the Divine Guards couldn't understand what the dwarves said, it was obvious that he was wielding his weapon to make a move, and the kingdom had some other ideas when he sent troops to the Dwarf Kingdom.

However, as soon as they fought, these dwarves who were looked down upon by them taught humans a lesson, the strength of the dwarves was terrifying, especially their short stature, and the one-handed hammer in their hands hit the human thigh, breaking the thigh of the Divine Guard in front of him with a click.

However, the human veteran was also tenacious, although he couldn't help screaming, but then he gritted his teeth and wanted to chop the axe in his hand to the dwarf's head, but the dwarf immediately raised his shield, and the black shield cast of steel in his hand was struck by the axe, and the dwarf shook and recovered after a loud noise, but the human veteran was shocked to the point that his arm was numb, and he couldn't stand up and fell to the ground.

The dwarf took one as three, and the human side that was about to fight broke up and went to the Lord for help, but at this moment a whistling sounded, and then the dwarf who took the lead and could fight the most screamed, and knelt on the ground with a leg click, and everyone nearby was stunned, only to see that the dwarf was pierced by an arrow at the joint, which was obviously the work of the elves from the perspective of manufacturing style.

Several figures under the stone steps rushed upwards with great agility, and Lemmon Ker, who was at the head, jumped into the air with a strong slam on his legs, and pulled the longbow in his hand in a dashing manner, and pulled the bow with a light movement between breaths, loosening the strings, and the arrow shot out through the air, and pierced the knee of a dwarf, which made him suddenly lose most of his combat power.

Suddenly reinforcements came, and the morale of the human side was immediately boosted, and after the elves rushed up, with the help of these allies who had not dealt with the dwarves, this group of dwarves ended up dead and wounded, and the rest were knocked unconscious and taken down the mountain, and the open city gate was left there, waiting for them to clarify the situation and then deal with it.

……

"The quartermaster said that the equipment on these dwarves was a special alloy, and although it was very heavy, it was stronger than the metal forged by the elves." Although the number of the vanguard has increased to 3,000, because Freman, as the commander of the whole army, has not yet arrived, Buckley's command has not yet been removed, and he is chatting with his lieutenants in the fortress about the news of torture from the dwarves, and Lemmon Kerr and several other elves also sit in and do not let them avoid it.

Hearing Barkley's words, Lemmon Kerr on the side said calmly: "There is an endless amount of black iron buried in the Black Mountain, and all the equipment of the dwarves is almost mined and cast from black iron, this black metal is extremely hard after being forged into steel, but our craftsmanship does not like this kind of dark and heavy equipment, even the three hundred [Sunbearers] around His Majesty Randil also prefer heavy armor with weight and defensive balance, rather than blindly pursuing hard and heavy. ”

Buckley laughed, not caring about the elves' seriousness, he had seen a lot of disputes when he followed Freman in the kingdom of Maclay, so he changed the topic to other directions: "Is there a result of the dwarf's interrogation?" ”

The adjutant on the side came out and reported: "My lord, there are already we, we have interrogated ten dwarves separately, although they have an extremely bad attitude and stubbornness, but when we threaten their other clansmen, some of them are still relenting, so we have a general understanding of the situation within the dwarven kingdom." ”

"On the day of the earthquake, it was the second day that the dwarves found a magnificent gem called the Heart of the Mountains in an underground chamber, and during the earthquake, the lava pool in the deepest part of the dwarf kingdom exploded, and hundreds of dwarves who were manipulating lava for smelting were submerged in the lava, and then the mountains shook, and the dwarven kingdom was in the interior of the black mountain to avoid it, and the upper part of the black mountain was broken, countless mountains and rocks fell, and the dwarf kingdom suffered heavy casualties."

"But this is not the most serious, the shaking of the mountains and the eruption of magma opened a portal in the depths of the dwarven kingdom, and countless monsters were killed from it, if it was placed in the dwarf kingdom intact, as long as the army was organized to form a defensive line, it was enough to resist, but at that time, the dwarf kingdom was already in chaos, and even many passages were smashed, and the dwarves were defeated in front of the monsters who kept rushing out of the portal, until they were completely defeated and fought separately."

"The dwarven king closed the gate the day before he was about to dig out the [Heart of the Mountains], and the dwarves said that their king was crazy, because he kept asking all the dwarves to organize to fight those monsters, maybe he was right, because the portal disappeared later, but the remaining monsters were no longer something that the dwarves could deal with, and the surviving dwarves were blocked in all corners, and this group of survivors who ran to the gate to be trapped was already the largest wave."

Barkley pondered for a while, then ordered: "Continue to strengthen the defensive line and pillbox, and report everything to Lord Freman in detail, whether to continue or not, is a matter for them to consider." ”

The adjutant went to give the order, and the elves were onlookers, and Elitriel was curious: "Commander of the human race, are you going to enter Montenegro?" ”

Barkley glanced at this cute elf, and laughed: "I'm not a commander, I'm just a regimental commander, or you can call me a colonel, the kingdom is a thousand people, the regimental commander needs to have the rank of colonel, and whether to enter Montenegro is not something I have to consider, if I had to say, I would be more happy to put a fence at the gate to catch these dwarves who escaped!" ”
