Chapter 132: Friendly Dwarves
With the matching swords of the dwarven army, the griffin formation and the imperial cavalry were only relieved, and when they went out, the more than three hundred Hamondale soldiers and the fifty monks were left behind by Jian Chen. He camped with these soldiers on the side of the road not far from the original battlefield, and continued to clean the battlefield and bury the corpses, while carefully guarding the many trophies he had obtained with great difficulty.
This mentality, which is somewhat similar to that of an upstart and miser, made the sorceress make fun of him, but Jian Chen didn't care at all.
All he'd thought about was how to turn those goods into gold coins, and he already had some drafts.
Empress Catherine was both surprised and confused when she received his latest information about Bairders and the current situation of the dwarves.
The presence of the Negans in Bairders is a bad sign for the Erathian Empire, in order to prevent these enemies, who are very good at sneaking up from the ground, from invading the empire again. The Empress ordered the garrisons everywhere to be on higher alert. At the same time, she asked Jian Chen to return to Hammondale as soon as possible to avoid accidents, and on the side of Baildus, she would decide whether to send troops to help after consulting the Dwarven King.
Now the empress regrets sending Jian Chen to Baildes, originally thought it was just an easy trip to exterminate a small group of robbers, but she didn't expect it to become the current state of affairs. If the Negans really invaded on a large scale, Jian Chen's situation was undoubtedly quite dangerous, in case anything happened to him, it would definitely be a huge loss for the empire, of course, this was the empress herself. Most of the people in the upper echelons of the Empire were not so receptive to the sudden emergence of the new lord of Hammondale and the Count of the Empire.
The Empress didn't know at this time that Mrak would let Chen Scrap lead the Hammondale Defense Force on the expedition, otherwise she might have sent an army to pick up Chen Jian immediately.
Of course, Jian Chen, who received the latest order, was very happy, anyway, now the battle is also fought. The spoils of war have also been taken, and the robbers have also been eliminated, although the matter of trading with the dwarves has not yet been discussed, but that kind of thing is not in a hurry at this time, not to mention that the dwarf king is now in a hurry to recover his stone castle, he may not be in the mood to talk about business with Jian Chen, it is better to wait for this side to calm down before sending someone over to talk.
After making up his mind to return to the army, Jian Chen went to visit the dwarven general who was currently cooperating with him, and discussed with him about the collection of troops.
The general appointed by the Dwarven King, named Malkem, was an extremely rare dwarven magician.
As we all know, dwarves are born with a certain resistance to magic, and this today's racial ability has caused the dwarves to always be a desert in the wizarding world, and unless they are gifted dwarves, they can become magicians.
But even so. The magical achievements that these gifted dwarves can achieve are also pitiful, and they are great expert magicians, and for this reason, the dwarves have always paid little attention to magic, and they prefer to believe in the weapons they have been tempered in their hands rather than magic.
And Malkem is an absolute outlier among the dwarves, he has a super high comprehension of earth magic, many earth magic he only needs to see once to learn, he also broke through the bottleneck of the dwarf race in the practice of magic, and became the first in the history of the dwarves, a master-level earth magician.
However, instead of making Malkaam a hero of the dwarves, this talent made him ostracized by the other dwarves.
Because he is so different and so good, many dwarves suspect that his blood is not pure, and it is very likely that he is a half-breed His origin is indeed a bit problematic; No one knows who his father is, and her single dwarf mother refuses to reveal everything about his father.
And unlike other conservative dwarves, the Marche demon likes to wander around and make all kinds of friends, no matter what race or identity the other party is, there was a time when he was very close to the elves, and believed in the elves' druidism and became a druid.
This apparent departure from dwarven tradition annoyed the dwarves, and they rejected him even more.
As a result, Malkem's position among the dwarves has always been awkward, and the dwarves reject him on the one hand, and on the other hand, they want to use his excellent magical abilities to serve the dwarves.
When the Hill Dwarves broke away from the Elven Kingdom, many of the Dwarves thought that Malkaem would remain in the forests of Turalea. Surprisingly, he chose to leave with the hill dwarves.

After arriving at Bairdes. Malkaem even uses his excellent magical abilities to fight against undead creatures
and the dwarven king also made an exception to promote him to be a petty officer in the army.
But that's about it. His position among the dwarves of the hills was still very embarrassing, and the dwarven king didn't use him much, so it didn't matter if he sent him to exterminate the robbers
。
Malkem is the same as Jian Chen. He did not send all his troops out to clear out the bandits, and at present he has nearly 1,000 prisoners of war in his hand. According to the orders of the dwarves Gui, the prisoners of war spent the rest of their lives in the mines of the mortals, so Malkem left five hundred dwarven warriors to guard the robbers, and he took these five hundred people to camp on the edge of Chen Jian's camp, and almost killed Chen Jian.
Because Jian Chen was very worried that those robber prisoners of war were not honest, in case something happened to a riot or something. It would be miserable to let your loot suffer losses.
For this reason, every time Jian Chen saw this dwarven magician, he couldn't help but slander in his heart.
Oddly enough, though. Malkaem was very fond of Jian Chen, and in the past ten days, he would always appear in Jian Chen's military camp from time to time, and then cheer with the great lord of Jian Chen, who seemed to have nothing to do. Da Yu wants to make friends with Chen Jian.
And he was very appreciative of Jian Chen's bold use of alien soldiers, and the awe of those alien prisoners of war who acted as strong men for Chen Jian also surprised him, and he was even more excited after hearing that there were still many alien lords in Chen Jian's territory.
According to the dwarf himself, he was a Druid. We advocate harmony between man and nature, and believe that no matter what race they are. In fact, they are all products of nature, so everyone should live in harmony regardless of race, and although Chen Jian is not a Druid, what he does is deeply in line with the teachings of the Druids, and he is born to be an out-and-out Druid, so the dwarven magician hopes to have some in-depth discussions with Jian Chen on the teachings of the Druids.
Of course, Jian Chen is not a bullshit druid, and he doesn't know what the druid teachings in Marchem's mouth are, he just thinks that this bearded dwarf is too wordy and too capable of bullshit.
When he heard that Jian Chen was going to leave Bairders and return to Hammondale, Marchem's mood was obviously a little low.
"Did the lord go back? It's a shame that I still haven't asked you about a lot of things! ”
This sentence made Jian Chen feel a little impulsive to roll his eyes at the other party, these days he has appreciated how annoying and irritating this otherworldly version of the dwarf Tang Seng is.
But on the surface, Jian Chen still smiled at the other party very kindly, and said: "This is also a helpless thing, after all, I can't stay in Bailders for a long time, although I get along with you very happily." ”
These words made Malkaim visibly happy: "Do you feel good with me?" It's so good, I always thought I was annoying! It turned out that I was wrong
Hearing the dwarf say this, Jian Chen couldn't help but regret why he was so hypocritical.
"In that case, then let's collect our troops!" Malkem, who was in a better mood, no longer tried to keep Jian Chen, and immediately made a decision. "Although there are still some bandits that have not been completely eliminated, there are not many of them. I don't think it's going to be a climate, so I'd better go back to the stone castle as soon as possible to see if I can help! ”
The two reached an agreement, and Jian Chen returned to his camp and asked Polly to ride Pegasus to inform Bremer that they had withdrawn their troops.
After Polly left, Jian Chen happily walked to the place where the loot was stored in the camp, and checked his loot again, now as long as he waited for Bremer and them to come back, Chen Jian could return triumphantly, and he couldn't help but be unhappy.
And his villainous demeanor also made the female magician who followed him laugh secretly, and the female magician found that the lord always showed behavior in line with his identity until the critical moment, and when he was usually fine, this lord looked like an ordinary little person, and he was often startled.
But such a person has now become a lord admired by all people in Hammondal.
At this time, the half-elf Pete hurriedly ran over: "Lord Lord, there's a strange guy outside the camp!" ”
"Strange guy? What's a strange way? Chen Jian, who was in a good mood, replied disapprovingly, his eyes still resting on a scroll in his hand that recorded the amount of loot. The address of this site has been changed to: Foot Union Concave Peng Embedded, please log in to the circle to read
"That guy is a Thor troll! He said he wanted to see you! He also said that he wanted to join the army of the lord and serve you, lord! ”
"Thor trolls?" The beautiful eyes of the sorceress on the side instantly widened, and her face was full of incredulous expressions, "Those cannibal Thor trolls? ”
Jian Chen also turned his head in surprise and looked at the half-elf, and couldn't help but be stunned after finding that the other party's expression didn't look like a joke.
How could a Thor troll think of coming to his own hands?
