Chapter 81 We took a lot of money, so we have to do things
In this way, the protagonist Succubus transforms into a high-level mercenary directly employed by the Dwarven High King. In peacetime, heaven and earth don't care, and in wartime, they get 3,000 military salaries. If there are other gains, then the credit will be calculated separately. This discount is a special living deed when it comes to the contract of grandma's house. When it ends, it all depends on the mood of the protagonist Succubus.
To tell the truth, if this kind of thing is changed to a person, let him go, and the dwarves of Griffon Mountain will fight for it. Some people are more impatient.,If you can't say it, you have to do it with the protagonist succubus.γ
Corresponding to the simplicity of the dwarves is the greed of the dwarves. Yes, greed. Dwarves are greedy for money. Very, very greedy for money. This is one of the reasons why they like to look for mineral veins.
Steel makes them strong, and all kinds of gems, gold, silver, and copper make them rich. A popular proverb and custom among the dwarves is that "a dwarf must earn as much gold as his weight in order to be successful." Unfortunately, the dwarves have no roots in their heads, and they can't do business.
Farming is the ability to rely on the sky to eat. The dwarves also had a small amount of arable land, but it was usually rented to humans for farming. They themselves have no ability to farm. Farming techniques in this era were not well developed. The dwarves studied how to make the axe sharper, but not how to make the plowshare a little sharper. Plus the dwarves love to drink beer. Therefore, the grain that was grown was either eaten or drunk. Even if the average life expectancy of the dwarves is 800 years, they will never grow a dime in this way.
So mining is the best way to go.
Gold, silver, brass, and even tin and lead ore. Of course, the best ones are all kinds of gemstones, agate and jadeite. In addition, there are more precious deposits of Adamantite, Mithril, Black Iron and other special metals, as well as magic crystal ores. Coal, etc., fuels and energy ...... All this is the basis of the abundance of the dwarves.
"A bunch of scum who only know how to dig and dig, destroy the environment and go against the sustainable development strategy." This is the elf of an extreme environmental organization, commenting on the words of the dwarves.
In a sense, there's nothing wrong with that.
The dwarves value their treasures so much. There are some of the more extreme dwarves who have even developed emotions such as greed and miserliness. Therefore, the dwarves of Griffon Mountain will accept the protagonist Succubus and his party so easily. The pact with the Dwarven High King was a surprising thing.
The main character, the succubus, has always thought that Hades is better than imps. A guy like the Supreme King, who eats the offerings of the dwarves all over the world, is naturally not too stingy. All his money was blown by the wind. But not the dwarves of Griffon's Mountain. Little by little, their money is dug out of the ground. Moreover, before the High King came with reinforcements, the money for hiring the protagonist Succubus and his party needed to be paid in advance......
But the dwarves still recognized. After the main character, the succubus, takes five elven leaders, including Venede, into the fortress of Griffon Mountain, the dwarves admit it.
Although they are greedy, although their main occupation is miners. But at the same time. Dwarves are also very good warriors and soldiers. If the group of people of the protagonist Succubus is used well, then the role they play will definitely not be smaller than that of the regular army of three thousand dwarves. Coupled with the well-informed dwarves who said that "the righteous adventurers once easily defeated the army of 8,000 humans", as well as the captives, and the best performance of everyone except the protagonist Succubus during the battle...... All this strengthened the confidence of the dwarves. Even, it is more confident than "the Supreme King will lead an army of 20,000 to come to support".
After all, the High King's reinforcements would not arrive until fifteen days later. And the situation in Griffon Hill is so critical. Whether it can be held until that time is still unknown.
That's it. The protagonist Succubus and his party enjoy VIP treatment in Griffin Mountain. The wine made by the dwarves is free to drink. The wine made by the dwarves is to be drunk as much as you want, and the wine made by the dwarves is to be drunk as you like...... Because apart from wine, the dwarves of Griffon Mountain don't have anything decent to entertain their guests.
The siege has been going on for some time. On the surface, the elven coalition is besieged. Below the surface, armies of dark elves blocked the passages. The dwarves of Griffon Mountain have been cut off from internal and external transportation. In this case, they naturally can't procure anything to eat and drink. Fresh vegetables, meat or whatever.
At present, the dwarves are using their own stockpiles, which are very ordinary bread, with salt. Plus pickles to deal with.
As for the dwarven woman...... When I didn't mention it, don't expect it, okay?
So it's better to drink bars.
While drinking, the main character, the succubus, also walks around the interior of the Griffon Mountain Fortress several times in the name of "observation position". The dwarves of Griffon Mountain have long been prepared for the loss of the outer position, and the elves will attack the inside of the fortress, and then fight with the elves in the streets. So it's not too much to wander around the fortress and observe the positions.
After that, it's time to repel the elves' attacks - although before, the protagonist Succubus and his party captured the front commander of the elven coalition and thwarted an attack by the elves. But that doesn't mean the elves will retreat or fall into chaos.
In fact, it only took two days for the Elven Coalition to regain order. And sent an emissary to the Griffon Mountain Fortress to negotiate, hoping to redeem all the front-line commanders of the coalition forces.
Of course, hundreds of people were killed, and the defenders of Griffon Mountain, who had already fought the real fire, did not want to agree. So they came up with an excuse, that is, this group of people was not captured by them, and they could not be the master. Let them consult with the protagonist Succubus.
So the protagonist Succubus came up with a solution.
"Let's go head-to-head." Facing the elven messenger, the protagonist Succubus said, "There is a person from your side, and there is a person from our side. Five games are decided to be won or lost. If you win a round, you can take a captive. If you lose a game, you have to lose 10,000 standard gold coins. β
The elven messenger thought about it for a moment, and then agreed to the main character's succubus's proposal. Then the main character, the succubus, said, "Then a day later, we will have a duel outside the fortress. β
The elven messenger, who felt that it was fair, agreed, and then went back, where he was severely ridiculed by his filthy dark elf allies.
"These bastards are stalling for time! Griffon's Mountain has restored internal and external communications, and the dwarven army will soon be able to kill it! Every day they delay, we are one step closer to failure! β
It's been a long, long, long time, it's been a long, long time, and the matriarch of the city-state of Sarestil said coldly: "What should be done now is to plan and attack after the other party thinks that we have promised them and relaxes their vigilance!" Concentrate all your forces on the other side and take down this fortress before the dwarven reinforcements arrive! β
It's just a pity that the analysis and proposal of the master mother have been approved by all the dark elves. But the other elves were not impressed.
Just like the analysis of the protagonist Succubus, although the elves formed a coalition, there are many contradictions within this patchwork alliance. The Sun Elves feel that Lao Tzu is a descendant of the Elven Royal Family, and everyone has to listen to us. The Moon Elves think they have the most troops, so they should be the boss. There are not many sea elves and wood elves, but they are more "yearning for freedom". So neither the sun nor the moon will work. They want to protect the world from destruction.
Finally, there are the dark elves. Although the Dark Elves also have a lot of troops. Moreover, they have been working hard in the dark region all year round, and the combat power of the dark elves is at least twenty-five percent higher than that of other elven subspecies. At the same time, their intrigues are very well suited to use in warfare - if nothing else, on the side of the Dark Elves, the First House of Sarestiel, Mistress Olivia of Kerria, said, "The old lady has only broken a dwarven fortress before!" "It can make other elves who don't know the world kneel and lick.
It's a pity that the reputation of the dark elves is too bad. The contradictions between the various elven races on the surface of the earth are not as great as their contradictions with the dark elves. Even if they get in their heads, they won't let the dark elves be the boss of the coalition.
The Dark Elves are the most marginalized group of people in the Alliance. Unless it's like this, when everyone is in a meeting to discuss, everyone gets together and allows the Dark Elves to participate in the discussion. But more often than not, everyone saw the dark elves walking backwards - there was no way, they didn't dare to turn around. Fear of a dark elf stabbing in the back.
Therefore, after the master mother said such a thing, the other elves showed disapproving expressions.
"Things don't seem to have come to that point." The representative of the Golden Elf side said: "I think the other party's conditions are quite suitable. β
"yes, we can't leave the captives alone. They are all the most gifted and excellent young people among the elves, and they represent the future of the elves. The Moon Elf representative said.
"It's not like some people who don't care about the lives of our fellow citizens." The representative of the wood elf said this as he glanced at the mistress. A great deal of moral satisfaction is obtained.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, is our heir to the throne! It's okay for any of us to die, but nothing can happen to the princess! "The representative of the sea elves is very resolute.
"But, butβall right. We might be able to send a small elite force to infiltrate the tunnels underground, while the main force is attacking head-on, andβ" Olivia said halfway through. Because she found that the other elves had completely ignored her. The discussion was very lively.
Their discussion was all about how to prepare for the next three days, and who to send as players to fight those dwarves in the ring. (To be continued......)
