Chapter 644: But ask for a clear conscience
After everyone was silent, they deliberated for a while, but they still couldn't come up with a good solution to the current predicament, but instead caused a great controversy because of another issue.
That's the problem of the hill dwarves.
Because just as Chen Jian and others guessed, the whereabouts of the hill dwarves who were captured by the Legan in the Battle of Doom, the Farouk army did know their whereabouts.
But it is just to know the whereabouts, but it is not controlled by the Farouk army or the black hand Gru hidden behind Farouk as Chen Jian thought, although Gru and his group have good energy, it is still a little difficult to make hundreds of thousands of hill dwarves obediently listen to them.
The truth is that when the kingdom of Ofer was defeated and the people of Kerrigan were defeated, these hill dwarves took advantage of the opportunity, and they managed to get out of the trap under the leadership of a dwarven magician named Yoland, and then hid in the underground of Ofer with the help of the undersea tunnel dug by the Negan lords in the last war, located at the exit of the Ov region.
However, although they were out of trouble, because they did not know what was going on, and because they did not have a good impression of the Holy Alliance's army, these dwarves have been hiding their whereabouts with all their hearts, and have not been in contact with the outside world, but have only sent people to sneak back to Bairders to check the situation of the Stone Castle, which makes them miss the opportunity to learn about Hesfa and Chen Jian, and then the ruins of the Stone Castle make them mistakenly believe that the remaining local hill dwarves have been wiped out by the Krigan people or have already managed to leave.
Broken clues, the situation is unknown, these hill dwarves did not dare to leave their hiding place in the Ofer region, so they have been hiding underground, they built a simple underground town in a branch of the undersea tunnel, and secretly opened a new exit to the surface, hunting in a remote Ofer Mountains, looking for wild vegetables, and planting some simple crops, struggling to survive, living in seclusion, living in almost isolation, and one day unexpectedly revealed by the Jungle Guardian troops of Gru.
Gru sent his most elite scouts to reconnoiter the dwarves without alerting them, and after learning about the dwarves, he thought that this might be a good opportunity to befriend the hill dwarves and make them use them for his own use, so he informed Lloyd and asked him to try to say that Farouk had secretly assisted the dwarves and succeeded, and the relationship between the two sides was maintained.
But although the relationship between the two sides is not bad for this reason, these dwarves have been unwilling to join the camp of the Farouk army, from the end of the Doomsday Battle to the present, Farouk has sent envoys more than ten times in vain, because of this incident, the generals of the Gru family have some differences, most of the people support Gru's original idea, and want to continue to work hard to try to pull these hill dwarves into the current camp of the Farouk army, However, the forest dwarves such as Eufrittin thought that the idea of the hill dwarves should be respected, even if the other party was unwilling to join, they should not be reluctant, and they should not hide the news of the hill dwarf king Hesfa in the Entagri Empire from the other party in this case, but should tell the news to these poor hill dwarves, so that they can try to return to the side of the clan.
After all, whether it is a forest dwarf or a hill dwarf, they are actually from the same origin, regardless of you and me, but they went their separate ways because of different ideas, and they agreed with the concept of racial equality, and the dwarves such as Eufrittin are very sympathetic to these people who have suffered greatly, so it is not surprising that they have such thoughts.
However, this kind of thinking obviously has a huge conflict of interests with Gru's secret forces, and Farouk is even more unlikely to let these hill dwarves throw themselves to the side of Chen Jian, who makes him disgusted, because on this issue, Eufrittin and other dwarves are quite isolated, for example, among the six people here, only Meng Gila supports Eufritin's opinion, and they have a lot of disputes with Lloyd and others over this matter.
However, Eufrittin and the others are still quite loyal to Gru, although they are dissatisfied, but they don't get Gru's will, and they don't dare to make their own decisions, so this matter has been dragged on, but every time everyone gets together, Eufrittin will always deliberately mention this matter, hoping to use his clumsy language to persuade others to support his point of view.
Today, the matter could not be discussed, everyone was not in a very good mood, and Euffrey brought up the old matter again, and Denova, who disagreed with him, was always more open-mouthed, and a dispute quickly turned into a quarrel, and finally broke up.
Out of Lloyd's tent, Eufritin, whose face was flushed with anger, rode a horse in a huff, and went away, ready to return to his camp on the continent of Erathia, few dwarves can ride horses, their size makes it difficult for them to be a qualified rider, let alone fight on horseback, but Eufritin's riding skills are quite exquisite, no less than those of the Erathian knights who are famous for their horsemanship, in fact, among the people, his nickname is knight.
Because of the bad mood, the dwarven knight rode very fast today, and the brown steed under him was dexterously shuttling through the forest under his control, ignoring the influence of the woods, and the fresh air in the forest made the dwarf feel a little better.
"That's not right," he whispered to himself, very dissatisfied with the attitude that everyone had just shown, because even Meng Gila didn't speak for him as usual, "It's not right"
He repeated this sentence a few times, and then felt a little helpless that he couldn't speak as skillfully as some people, and ashamed that he couldn't help his people, and he was angry that Farouk had ordered the news of those hill dwarves to be blocked in the Ofer area, he knew that Farouk had sent people to intercept and kill those hill dwarves in secret, but he turned a blind eye to these Gru and the others, and the dwarves always felt that an upright person should not do such a thing. But this is tantamount to putting Gru, Lloyd, Alice and the others, who have always been respected by him, into the dishonest side, which is obviously not very right, so the honest dwarf is very confused, and he feels that the problem he is encountering at the moment is even more headache than being surrounded by a hundred enemies alone on the battlefield.
Everydin's camp was not very far from Lloyd's, and the dwarf rode fast, so he quickly returned to his camp, and then he was somewhat surprised to see that Montella had come before him, and was waiting for him in his camp.
"Silver Pegasus flies faster than horses," the dwarf muttered secretly, and the horse met the other party, and asked lukewarmly, "Why are you here?" ”
Knowing that Eufritin's personality is upright, Meng Gila didn't care about his attitude, but chuckled: "What, you're still angry with me?" ”
"I'm not angry with you" Eufrittin sighed, the other party laughed, he was a little embarrassed, "I'm not angry with anyone, I'm just angry with myself, my mouth is too stupid, I always mess things up"
Seeing him like this, Meng Gila couldn't help but sigh: "Let's go outside, I have something to tell you."
Eufrittin said unexpectedly, "What's the matter?" Let's go inside and talk about it, right? I have some dried fruits you like to eat, I'll make flower tea for you."
"No, I'm in a bad mood, I don't want to eat, I just want to breathe outside" Meng Gila shook her head, and led her silver Pegasus to walk towards the woods outside the camp, "Hurry up and don't be stunned"
Seeing this, Eufrittin hurriedly hit the horse to follow, and Meng Gila also turned over the silver Pegasus, and the two walked side by side.
Today's weather is good, it is afternoon again, the sun is sprinkled in the forest, so that the thick fallen leaves on the ground become colorful, the insects and birds in the forest sound from time to time, so that the atmosphere in the woods is quiet but reveals a little noise, showing vitality.
However, these scenery did not make the dwarf knight's mood any better, so he kept silent, and occasionally turned his head to look at Meng Terra's delicate and heroic face, although the two were of different races, but the dwarf knight had always had some kind of subtle emotions towards Meng Gila that should not be there.
"Eufritin, you still don't want to talk about this matter in the future" Meng Lila said in a low voice, after the other party seemed to open her mouth to say something, she waved her hand to interrupt the other party, and motioned to the dwarf to listen to herself first: "After so many times, you should also understand that no matter how hard you try, everyone will not agree to let your people return to the current Ntagre Empire, you must know that although we have the same concept as that Chen Jian, we are not all the way, at least not now, And no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, even if I become an enemy at that time, I will not be too surprised, after all, advocating racial equality is one thing, and the struggle for power is another, and in the face of power, even if you have more reason, some things still don't make sense."
"Lord Gru isn't that kind of person, he doesn't value power that much," the dwarf retorted, a little unconvinced, a little upset that the other man was saying that.
Meng Terra was noncommittal about this, but continued with a smile: "Actually, if you really want to help your people, why should you stick to form? You dwarves are just a little too loyal, in fact, in many cases, we can use some workarounds to achieve our goals and do things that we think are right and worth doing, for example, although you can't explain directly to your people about the Entagri Empire and Herthfar, you can hint or say that you can go to the outside world to inquire about the news for yourself, and then they will find Negan themselves, right? Farouk may have sent people to snipe at your people and want to isolate your people from the outside world, but Offer is so big, he can't be foolproof."
Eufrittin was a little moved when she heard this, and she was a little hesitant: "Isn't this good?" I thought so, but I always felt like a betrayal of Lord Gru."
Meng Gila smiled again: "How can this be a betrayal? It's just some disagreement and Master Gru may not have done anything wrong, we can't blindly listen to him and think that he is right, he is only a half-elf, not a real god right and wrong, many times we have to rely on our own hearts to judge, as long as we do it with a clear conscience, why bother with these verses? ”
