Chapter 130: The Negan Conspiracy
The unbelievable news shocked everyone at the venue.
The stone castle is arguably the greatest achievement of the hill dwarves in the art of castle building, and this fortified castle in the outskirts of Bairdes was built on a high hill. In the belly, the outer wall of the castle is perfectly combined with the mountain wall, and from a distance, it is impossible to see that this is a castle, but a steep mountain.
What's more, the castle is surrounded by water on three sides, and the terrain is very dangerous, and the only exit to the castle that can be discovered by outsiders is built on a platform halfway up the mountain. The platform is small enough to accommodate only a few hundred people standing on it, and the only way to reach it is to go through two bridges that are connected to it from different sides.
These bridges were heavily defended by the dwarves in an attempt to storm them. It would be a great price, and even if the bridge was lost, the dwarves would be able to retreat to the platform and continue to hold on, if even the platform was lost. The dwarves can also hold the only exit.
Legend has it that the castle actually has more than one exit, but in addition to this one on the platform. The other exits were cleverly hidden by the dwarves, just like the outer walls of the castle that blended into the mountain walls, and no one could ever find the other exits to the castle. These exits are known only to the hill dwarves themselves, and they can only be opened in a specific way, without their guidance, even if the forest dwarves come, they can only cry out in vain.
This castle is a castle that Dan Yi is difficult to defend and difficult to attack, but now there is news that this castle has been breached?
If it weren't for this dwarf. The general was a close confidant of the dwarven king Hesfar, and the look on the other party's face did not look like a hypocrisy. The Dwarven King almost thought that the other party was lying to him or that he was joking with him.
In the mind of the Dwarven King, the Stone Castle would never fall, it was the strongest castle in the world, and it had no breached ears at all.
And because of this. The Dwarven King dared to lead a large army to go out in person, and just in case, he even sent Thorling to lead a dwarven army back first to strengthen the defenses on the periphery of the castle!
"How is this possible!"
The roar of the Dwarven King Hesfar echoed through the twilight sky, attracting the sideways glances of many dwarven soldiers.
"How is this possible! How is this possible! The dwarven king grabbed the dwarven general who had come to report the news, and roared, "Who is the enemy? How did they break through the stone castle? What about Thorling? Did he die? ”
"The enemy seems to be a lord of the Negan Lords, who dug a tunnel from the ground and connected to our pit beneath the castle, and from the pit they attacked the castle interior! The castle defenders were caught off guard. Most of the area below the castle has been taken by the enemy, and General Thorling is directing his soldiers to fight the enemy inside the castle in an attempt to retake these lost areas! ”
"Negan? Attacking from within? The dwarf king let go of the hands that were holding the other party, and he lost his mind for a while, and the dwarf generals also looked at each other, their faces full of disbelief.
Jian Chen was also dumbfounded when he heard it on the side.
Although he had never seen a stone castle with his own eyes, he had heard a lot about this famous castle that was built by the dwarves only a few years ago and was said to never fall.
Hearing that this castle had been breached by the enemy from the inside, Chen Jian was very emotional, and then he remembered the Maginot Line, which was famous on Earth.
What a resemblance between the two, beneath the seemingly sturdy exterior, hides a fatal weakness. In the end, the enemy cleverly shattered the myth that they were difficult to attack.
Merely. The Maginot Line was bypassed and ignored. The stone castle, on the other hand, was breached by someone entering the interior from underground. The salary address of this station has been changed to: Foot Union Concave Peng Embedded Please log in to the circle to read
However, from the analysis of the information heard, the stone castle has not completely fallen, the enemy has only captured a part of the area, and things are not so bad that they are out of control.
As Jian Chen was thinking so, the dwarven general who reported the news said another bad news that made the dwarf king almost vomit blood on the spot: "The granary on the lower floor of the castle has also been captured by the enemy, and because of this, our food reserves are currently seriously insufficient!" Many of the people who live in the lower strata are also under the control of the enemy, and the situation is unknown for the time being."
It was a long time. The dwarven king came back to his senses from one bad news after another: "What about the treasury? Was it also captured by the enemy? ”
"Not really. The vault is still under our control, and General Thorgering has heavily protected it. ”
The luck in this misfortune made the dwarf king breathe a sigh of relief, if the treasury was gone, then the dwarf king Jue himself had no choice but to commit suicide to thank the people.
As long as the treasury is there, the grain can be bought again. If the treasury is also lost, the dwarves who have no money and no food will probably have to withdraw from Bailders in disgrace.
I thought about the poison for a while. Only then did the dwarven king realize that he had fallen for the enemy's tricks.
The sudden rise of the Dragoon Bandit Regiment must have something to do with this Negan Lord who came out of nowhere, or that the Dragoon Bandit Regiment was simply controlled by this Negan Lord, and he used the robbers to loot the caravan to provoke the dwarves, which can explain why only the dwarf caravans are repeatedly robbed and killed, and there is no room for survival.
It was also because of the secret manipulation of this Negan lord that the dwarven army sent by the dwarf king would lose or return in several battles with the robbers in a row, and finally because "the wrath of the dwarf king was aroused, which led the dwarf lord to raise a large army to encircle and suppress the robbers...
Then this Negan lord took advantage of the lack of troops in the stone castle and used the tunnel that Armor had secretly prepared to attack the stone castle from the ground in one fell swoop!
The robbers' affairs were the enemy's conspiracy from beginning to end, but the dwarf king was led by the enemy hiding in the shadows step by step, and this fell into the current situation.
No wonder those bandits even have a flying force of Harpys! No wonder they have an army-like composition and command! It's no wonder they've been able to grow so much in such a short period of time!
"Damn". After thinking everything through and finding that he had been tricked, the Dwarf King's anger erupted again, "Pass my order, and the whole army will return to the Stone Castle!" We're going to get rid of the vile and shameless Negans! We need to let them know what serious consequences will be if we anger the dwarves! ”
As he spoke, the Dwarf King turned around in a huff. He was about to say something more to his generals, but he couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he saw Jian Chen and the female magician still standing on the side.
"Ahem, the feeling of this "Your Excellency Chen Jian" embarrassing in front of outsiders made the dwarf king a little embarrassed, "That, well, I will send someone to cooperate with you in the matter of exterminating the robbers, I'm really embarrassed." Things have changed a little and I have to go back to Stone Castle! As for the transaction, it can only be postponed, which is really embarrassing.
In the end, the dwarf king sighed heavily, at this moment, he was really like an arrow.
In this regard, Chen Jian hurriedly expressed his full understanding, and expressed his willingness to do his part for the dwarves to recover their homes after eliminating the robbers: "King Hesfa, you can go back with confidence, I will cooperate with the generals you left behind to eliminate those robbers, and wait for the war here to end." If there's anything you can do with me, please let me know and I'll do my best to help you! And this time in battle. I seized a lot of food from the robbers. I'll hand it over to you with those prisoners of war! I think the dwarves need that help right now! ”
This statement made the dwarf king feel good for Jian Chen again, and he found that this human lord was really too bold and worthy of friendship.
"How can this be done, those are your trophies, so your losses will be too great, or you make a price, I will buy it with you with gold coins!" The Dwarven King thought that he really needed this food now. But I'm embarrassed to ask for other people's things. So he proposed to use the money to buy Chen Jian's grain.

Jian Chen shook his head and said, "King Hesfa." It's a bit of a surprise when you say that, it's just a little bit of my heart for you and the Hill Dwarves, and if you insist on something in exchange, I hope it's your friendship, not gold! ”
"Friendship?. The Dwarven King was a little stunned. Then he looked at Jian Chen with a little fear, "You think of the friendship of the dwarf clan?" Do you have any purpose? Did Queen Catherine make you do this? ”
Jian Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and then realized that he might have behaved a little too much, and quickly shook his head and explained, "Please don't get me wrong, King Hesfa. Nothing I say or do has anything to do with the Empire of Erathia or Her Majesty the Empress; It's purely my personal act, maybe you don't believe it. But here's the thing, I just think that being able to be friends with the dwarves will be good for me and my territory in the future, and I don't have any special purpose! If you really want to talk about the purpose. I'm just trying to make some deals with you! ”
"Hopefully, we dwarves never make friends with other races easily, because we have suffered too much in the process of dealing with other races. It's not so easy to get our approval and become our friends! As he spoke, the Dwarven King sighed and said, "I really hope that you didn't come to show favor to us on purpose because of Empress Catherine's orders, and I know very well what she has in mind!" So far, you're one of the few humans who can make me feel good. For this reason, I accept your help, but I also hope that you will not lie to me, otherwise, we may become enemies of life and death! These, I hope you remember! ”
The Dwarven King's words made Jian Chen a little surprised, he had always thought that the diplomatic work between Empress Catherine and the dwarves was going quite smoothly, but judging from the words of the Dwarf King, he was afraid that the Empress's hard work would only end up in nothing.
"Time tells, King Herspha!" So far, Chen Jian can only use this sentence to explain himself.
After bidding farewell to the Dwarven King, Jian Chen and the sorceress returned to their own army.
By this time, Bremer had also returned with his cavalry and griffons.
Jian Chen told everyone what he had heard from the Dwarven King about the Stone Castle. The Negans were puzzled by the sudden invasion of Bairders and their attack on the Stone Castle.
There have been countless wars on the mainland, but there has never been a county or a force that has ever had the idea of fighting the borderless land of Bailds. The war that had swept almost the entire continent last time had not affected Baildus, a lord of Negan, who had suddenly run here to attack the dwarves. What kind of purpose will it have?
"They don't grab territory in Nican and come to Baildes for what? What is there here to attract them? Or is there some other conspiracy? Bremer, the Imperial Crown Knight, said.
