Chapter 169: The Incompetent Zanofox

Although he couldn't figure out what was going on, the fact that the Dwarf King had let the thousands of dwarves stay in Hammondale and temporarily accept Chen Jian's command under the leadership of Malkaem was a little surprising to Jian Chen.

If used well, this is quite a powerful force, not to mention, there is Malkem, a master of earth-based magic.

Moreover, the dwarf Wang Ken handed over these dwarves to Chen Jian's command, which was undoubtedly a hint to Chen Jian in disguise.

He was willing to support Chen Jian militarily.

This hint gave Jian Chen a little more confidence.

And Empress Catherine's reply arrived at this time.

The Empress replied in the affirmative to Jian Chen's request, agreeing that Jian should organize a militia, but not more than three thousand, and that the temporary armed force be disbanded as soon as the situation stabilized.

"I hope you can understand that the reason why I agreed is only a last resort expedient, on the side of Mrak, I will give further notice to him not to meddle in other matters other than the defense of Hammondal, and let the Imperial * team not enter Harmondale Town and Harmondale New Town unless it is absolutely necessary, so as to cooperate with your efforts to pacify the alien immigrants."

Chen Jian calculated, if this militia team was successfully formed, plus the full strength of the Hammondale Defense Force and the Lord's Guard, he would have an army with a total number of 4,000 people, plus nearly 5,000 dwarves on Malkem's side, it could be regarded as a force to be reckoned with.

While he was pondering, the magic circle used to communicate with the Dwarven King once again emitted a soft magical light, and a letter was delivered.

What's going on again?

Jian Chen took the letter from the magic array, opened it, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"My dear friend, things have been figured out, a soldier has just reported to me that the Krigans are attacking the Stone Castle from the ground at the same time, using the underground tunnels left behind by the Negans who fought us earlier! It seems that the Negans have built a rather amazing transportation network underground, and the Kregans must have crossed Bairders from the underground and appeared directly on the borders of the Empire! It was also with the help of these underground tunnels that they were able to surround the stone castle and curse the damned Negans! I was so careless that I just resealed their tunnel to the stone castle and didn't send anyone to check what they were doing underground! Our situation was so critical that I had made such a big mistake! ”

This letter was obviously written in a hurry by the dwarf king, the handwriting was quite sloppy, and it seemed to have been sent before it was finished, which shows that the situation in the stone castle at that time was quite unoptimistic, so that the dwarf king did not even have time to finish writing a letter.

Should this be reported to the Empress? Jian Chen was a little hesitant.

With other thoughts in mind, Jian Chen only hoped that the battle between Oufu and the Empire would last as long as possible, so that he would have enough time to do what he wanted to do.

It would have been better if Empress Catherine had been able to transfer Mrak, who was in the way and suspicious of herself, to reinforce the Empire's eastern defenses.

At this moment, Pete, the half-elf, lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in.

"Lord Lord, an imperial * team has driven outside the town, and the leading knight claims to be Danion, and has come to garrison Hammondale on the orders of Lord Mrak, and now they have joined the imperial * team that originally helped us guard the prisoner of war camp, and are looking for a suitable place to camp in the new city!"

The half-elf said and looked at Jian Chen with a little puzzled: "Lord Lord, is something wrong, why did the Emperor * team suddenly enter Hammondale City?" You made a hurried trip to Master Mrak's last night, too! ”

"Something happened! Peter. Jian Chen nodded and replied, "The Oufu Kingdom has started a war against the Empire!" Maybe it won't be long before we have to face war! ”

We just don't know who our opponent will be.

Jian Chen muttered to himself like this.

Meanwhile, somewhere on the border between Bairders and Hammondale, in the underground barracks of the Orver army.

"Lord Serren! The enemy's defenses in the Muse Mountains are very tight, and although I don't want to admit it, our army has been blocked by them! General Zeda is leading the army into a tug-of-war with the enemy! What do we do now? "And according to the human agents we have planted within the Elasia Empire, Catherine is on her way to the area, and she is ready to personally direct the battle against us!" ”

The Great Demon General, known as Serren, withdrew his eyes from the map and said lightly: "The situation is all expected, my dear Salx, the progress of the battle is as I expected. In fact, we shouldn't have provoked the Erathian Empire at this critical time, but Roland, who escaped unexpectedly, knew our plan, so we had to take action at this time, otherwise the Erathian Empire would definitely take the initiative to burn the war to Euver, and we would be very passive at that time! King Lucifer's strategy of attacking instead of defending was correct. Fortunately, the enemy does not know the specifics of our plan, nor does he know how important the target we are about to attack is to our overall plan, so it is better for Catherine to come and let our army pin her down! So that she won't discover our true purpose! Speaking of which, we owe a lot of gratitude to the Negans who came out of nowhere and helped us with the tunnel they left behind! ”

"I see, Serren-sama! But if we attack the Erathian Empire with such fanfare, will the other members of the Holy Alliance send troops to support them? And what if Roland leaks our plans, what if they attract hostility from other countries and powers? Salx was a little worried.

"Holy Alliance? Other countries and forces? Serren shook his head and sneered: "By the time they react, we have already succeeded in making the Doomsday Blade, and we will be invincible in the world!" No matter how many enemies there are, what should we fear? You have no idea how terrifying the Doomsday Blade is, it's simply an artifact that was destined to be made for us Kerrigans! If we had known that such a magical weapon existed in this world, perhaps we would have been able to wipe out the other races and turn the whole world into a paradise for the Kregans! What's more, if we take the initiative to attack, we can cover our true purpose, even if the Erathian Empire reveals our true purpose to other countries and forces, they will only think that it is just a boring excuse for the Erathian Empire to seek their help! No one would believe that we Cregans are really Messengers of Destruction from another world! ”

As he spoke, Serren clenched his fists excitedly: "Zano Fix is too incompetent!" Too careful! The only thing he did was succeed in convincing everyone that our Kerrigan Clan's purpose was nothing more than to fight for supremacy on the continent! If the wise King Lucifer had ascended to the throne sooner, we wouldn't have wasted so many years! ”

Salx hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Lord Serren, are the rumors true?" Some of the clansmen are secretly guessing that you and King Lucifer planned the whole thing......"

"What do you think?" Selren looked at his assistant with a smile in his eyes, "Do you think it's true?" ”

The strange look sent chills down Salke's body, and he suddenly realized that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked in the first place.

"Serren-sama, I'...... All I know is that now...... Now the king of the Kregan tribe is...... It's King Lucifer, and I owe allegiance, and I can only be loyal to King Lucifer! ”

After stammering this, Salx quickly lowered his head deeply.

"It's good that you understand this, don't ask what you shouldn't ask in the future, my dear Salke, you just need to know that under the guidance of King Lucifer, the Kerrigan clan will more smoothly complete the sacred mission carried by our clan, and the rest, don't think too much, do what you have to do!"

With that, Serren waved his hand and motioned for Salx to leave.

Watching Salx's back disappear from sight, Serren was suddenly very annoyed, everything was going smoothly, but the unexpected strength of the humans who sneaked into Auver was an unexpected setback for him and Lucifer's original flawless plan.

It was the arrogant and incompetent Zanofax who caused the trouble, who actually told the Roland Legan the true purpose of appearing in this world, and also told the human who should have been executed a long time ago about the Doomsday Blade!

And the reason why Zanofax kept this human was only because he had been defeated by this human before! Therefore, with a strong sense of revenge, he wants to imprison this human being for the rest of his life, and let this human being who has brought shame to himself suffer all the suffering and torture in the world! It's better to live than to die! He would go to that cell almost every day when he had free time and tease the human, and he enjoyed the game.

The last war was supposed to be the best opportunity for the Kerrigan to strengthen themselves, but this Zanofex was beaten directly to the door by the enemy because of a series of mistakes in command, and finally he was wronged for the sake of his life, surrendered, and withdrew from the war early, and thus made the Kerrigan completely offend the Negans.

As a king, his psychological quality is so poor, he can't afford even a little failure, he is bent on revenge against the other party, and his military talent is even more of a mess, in the Enlos continent, he failed once, and when he arrived in the Erathia continent, he still failed! Even the most important empress of the Krigan on this planet died in Enloth because of his incompetence, so that the Krigan people could not use the powerful reproductive ability of the mother queen to quickly increase the population and grow their power, and they have not been able to complete their sacred mission of destroying all living things in this world! He is simply a disgrace to the Kerrigans!

So when Lucifer found Serren and plotted to usurp the throne, Serren agreed without hesitation.

And the appearance of the group of humans who tried to rescue Roland did them a great favor.

It was Lucifer who transferred the many guards around Zanofax that night, and originally Lucifer asked Serren to help those humans when necessary, but the strength of those humans caught the two Kerrigan demons off guard, and the incompetent Zanofax was killed by them without much resistance, and the human captives were successfully rescued by them.

Serren then led his army to hunt down the humans in an attempt to prevent the leakage of important information about his own people, but in Bairders he lost sight of the enemy and accidentally defeated a Negan army, captured many Negans, and discovered countless huge tunnels that the Negans had dug underground.

But now, the situation is still under control, and as long as the last treasure is obtained, the Doomsday Blade can be completed.

Selren's gaze shifted to the map on the wall, his gaze resting on Hammondal, and then slowly following Hammondal's path, slowly moving to one of the locations.

There, there is the last treasure needed to forge the blade of doom - the Vulcan sword.
