The drifter Chu Hesfa was stunned by the magic attack of the domineering Jebby of the Doomsday Judgment, thanks to the desperate protection of his personal guards.

But even so, Hesfa was still not lightly wounded, and if it weren't for the Hill Dwarf hero Thorglin and the remaining soldiers who rescued him after a death battle, I am afraid that he would have died under the extremely sharp long-handled scythe of the Archdemon of the Krigan Clan.

This defeat brought Hesfar to the brink of collapse, and he couldn't accept the brutal fact that his army had been almost slaughtered by the enemy's magic.

This matter was a trap for the enemy from beginning to end, and the enemy who had mastered the powerful magic took advantage of the current situation and deliberately showed weakness to lure himself into the bait, but he did not realize it at all, because of this huge mistake, the hill dwarf was greatly damaged this time.

The Hill Dwarves had already lost a considerable amount of their population during their migration from the forests of Turalleon to Baildus, and later lost even more when Bairders competed with the undead creatures for living space, and the recent war with the Negans and Kerrigans also cost the Dwarves a lot of money.

It was Hersfa who was so interested in Chen Jian's proposal for cooperation, and it was Hersfa who reluctantly accepted Catherine's overtures, and although he was reluctant, he also formed a limited alliance with the Erathian Empire.

Because the hill dwarves really need a stable environment to recuperate now.

The army of dwarves that Hesfa had brought out to fight the Kregans was the strongest elite among the hill dwarves who had survived a hundred battles; It is also the only remaining backbone of the hill dwarves, and it is also the hope for the revival of the hill dwarves.

But now, all of them are gone, and even his most trusted Thorling has died heroically in the process of covering his escape back to the stone castle. The dwarves were originally a race with a relatively low fertility rate, and the young dwarves had suffered a great loss in these years, and now not only the population has declined dramatically, but the ratio of men to women is even more severe, and with this loss, Hesfar knows that the hill dwarves want to regain their former prosperity. I'm afraid that without two or three hundred years, it is unlikely.

And at the moment, it is a question whether or not it can survive the past, and one bad one is the tragic end of the extermination of the race.

But it was his own mistake that caused this consequence, and Hesfar could not forgive himself, he felt that he was a dwarf with a great sin, and he would rather die under the attack of the enemy. I don't want to live in this world and see the hill dwarves actually lead me to perdition step by step.

Drink a healing potion. He also used the medicine peculiar to the dwarves of the hills to treat the wounds on his body, and Hesfa dragged his weakened body. Picking himself up and setting up the defensive line, his return made the terrified hill dwarves regain some morale a little, and with him in command. The soldiers were no longer fighting in silos, and the reorganized dwarves began to defend in a calculated manner, and the Kregan offensive was stopped. The Stone Castle has not completely fallen, and now, the core of the Stone Castle is still under the control of the dwarves.

However, the situation is not optimistic, due to the lack of psychological preparation for the enemy's attack, most of the area of the stone castle was lost, not only the remaining dwarven army suffered countless casualties, many dwarven civilians who did not have time to retreat from the occupied area were also killed in this battle, more dwarves became prisoners of the Krigan tribe, and the number of remaining hill dwarves at this time was less than 100,000, and most of them were old and weak, women and children, there was no combat effectiveness at all, and the soldiers were also wounded.

When he learned of this situation, Rao was a strong dwarf like Hesfa, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

You know, when the hill dwarves left Turalea, there were only a million of them, but now there are less than a tenth of them.

If he hadn't known that he still had a responsibility to do, or if he hadn't tried to leave a little seed for the hill dwarves, Hesfar would have had the heart to pull out an axe and wipe his neck.

After forcing himself to calm down, Hesfar began to figure out how to get through the difficult situation in front of him.

The first thing he did was to inform all the powers he could inform the Cregans of some kind of powerful magic that could distinguish between friend and foe.

It was a little hard to believe, but Hesfa saw with his own eyes that in that terrible rain of red and black fire, the enemy soldiers who were also within the range of the magic strike were unscathed. The dwarven soldiers had to endure powerful blows from magic while also facing the onslaught of the enemy.

He didn't understand what was going on, although he didn't know much about magic, but Hesfa, who had been quite active on the battlefield with the elven army, also knew that the magic that Fan Yin attacked had always been friend and foe.

Hesfar didn't know how the Cregans did this, but there was no doubt that the appearance of this magic on the battlefield could definitely be described as terrifying.

Could this be the Kerrigans' Doomsday Blade plan?

Hesfar's purpose in spreading the news was to make the Kerrigans the target of the continent's powers.

He believed that none of the forces would sit idly by and watch the Cregans possess such powerful magic, because it was so intimidating.

With the exception of an army of creatures that are immune to magic or have extremely high magic resistance, no other army can fight on the battlefield against the Cregans who have mastered this wide-ranging, high-power, lethal magic that distinguishes between friend and foe.

Hesfa hopes that he can make Kerrigan suffer a little through such means, although there is Kamigawa's "Restoration of the Law, but it is obviously not an easy thing to be the enemy of the Cang Continent, and if the four fruits are lucky, maybe the Kerrigan people will fail because of this, if so, it can be regarded as an indirect help to the hill dwarves out of a bad breath."

The second thing Hesfa did was to write a letter to Chen Jian.

Nowadays, the hilly dwarves are in stone castles. It was no longer possible to stay, and the Cregans seemed to be determined to pull out the stone castle, the nail nailed to the logistics line of their attack on the Erathian Empire, and continue to stay here, with no other choice but to wait for death and become a prisoner.

And as things stand, even if the Kregans were to fail in the future, the dwarves wouldn't be able to survive that time.

According to Hesfa's calculations, the existing strength in his hands can only hold on for less than a week at most. It was only seven days, and he didn't think the Kerrigans would have lost by then.

In order to prevent the hill dwarves from being wiped out in this hopeless war, and thus become the dust of the history of the continent of Erathia, Hesfa decided to withdraw from the stone castle.

Although the Kregans besieged the stone castle. The hidden exits also exposed two, but there were other exits to the stone castle, in fact. In the planning of the construction of the stone castle, there are many hidden exits, and these exits are not built to escape, because the dwarves are very confident in their craft, they firmly believe that no one can break through the stone castle, and the reason why so many unknown exits are built is just out of a psychology of showing off their skills.

The dwarves feel a sense of pride when they think that their castle has so many exits that no one else can find.

These exits also have a military significance, as did when Hesfa used one of these exits to raid the Kregans.

It's just that the hill dwarves didn't expect that these exits would one day become a way for their own people to escape, and the stone castle, which claims to never fall, is now not far from completely falling.

It's quite an irony.

But as for where to go. Hesfa didn't have much choice, and after losing most of their army, the hill dwarves now wanted to become a force independent of all countries as before, which was no longer possible, and it could only be temporarily dependent on other countries and forces.

However, even if you want to seek refuge with others, it is difficult.

The Erathian Empire, which had an alliance with the dwarves, was the best choice, but since Catherine's abdication, the new rulers of the empire have torn up that pact and launched a vigorous campaign to drive out the aliens. To take refuge in the Erathian Empire under such circumstances? Hesfa doesn't do that kind of stupid thing.

It seems that it is not bad to return to the elven kingdom, but when the hill dwarves left, the relationship between the two sides was very stiff, and the dwarves were also fed up with the anger of the elves, so they ran away, if they wanted to go back, even if Horsfa was willing, the other hill dwarves might not be willing, and with the consistent style of the elven kingdom, I am afraid that after going back, the dwarves' lives will be even more difficult than before.

In terms of other countries and forces, due to the geographical location, it is unlikely that they will take refuge, not to mention that the dwarves do not have the ability to make another long-distance migration at the moment, even if other forces are willing to come to pick them up, it will not be possible" Bailders is located in the eastern part of the continent, surrounded by the Erathian Empire and the Elven Kingdom, and there is no border with other forces, and these two. The nation will not sit idly by and watch the dwarves turn to other nations and forces that are hostile to them.

The kingdom of Negan, across the sea from Bailders, had recently made a feud with the dwarves, and if the dwarves went to Lord Negan, Hesfar felt that it would be better to rush out and fight the Krigan to the death.

After thinking about it, Hesfa felt that maybe Jian Chen could help him, this human had a different way of thinking about things, maybe he could have some good way to help the dwarves in the hills tide over the difficulties or properly settle the dwarves.

For this, human friends, Hesfa is still very fond of him, and the two sides have always cooperated very happily, although Hesfa knows that this human may have befriended the hill dwarves with some purpose, but he can bring real benefits to the dwarves, and he has never taken the initiative to ask the dwarves for anything in return, and the two sides have been interacting on an equal footing.

What's more, he helped the hill dwarves realize their dreams for many years and found the legendary huge mineral deposits, which was a great favor in the eyes of the dwarves.

But He Sifa knew that Chen Jian's current situation was not very good, and He Sifa knew about the falling out between Chen Jian and Catherine, and he felt that his friend was really unlucky. The fact that they could be falsely accused of being a spy arranged by the Kregans in the Empire, and that Catherine believed that it was a rather ridiculous thing in Hesfa's opinion, how could the Kregans share that huge deposit with the dwarves? If Jian Chen is really a spy of the Kreganians. What he should have done was for the Kerrigans to occupy Bairders, and then for the Kerrigans to open the mines. Unfortunately, the Imperial side did not know about this.

In addition to sympathy, Hesfa had suggested that Jian Chen might as well take refuge in the Stone Castle, and Jian Chen had also revealed that he would seek refuge from the dwarves in case of a situation.

Therefore, He Sifa didn't know if Chen Jian, who seemed to be a little difficult to protect himself, could help him at this time.
