Chapter 146: Plausible

When Guo Sen was on Earth, he saw countless ancient castles that were majestic and full of historical charm – on pictures viewed on the Internet.

But he never imagined that he would see the castle again only three hundred years after the last time he saw the dwarves.

This time I saw it in a real way.

However, compared to the well-preserved, beautiful and practical castles on the earth, this castle in front of you does not seem to be so beautiful.

Or to put it honestly, it's one word - ugly.

This castle, which was carved out on the side of a huge mountain, does not have the spire that Guo Sen likes, nor does it have wooden suspension bridges and moats.

There are only towering blue-white walls, countless black windows that have been carved out, and flat roofs that look tasteless.

Even the gate, which was only halfway through the wall, was hung from a few rough ropes for the dwarves to enter and exit.

Okay, okay.

Guo Sen knew that this thing could not be forced.

It's good to have it, what kind of bicycle do you want.

As a sturdy castle, this is more than enough.

At least Guo Sen can be sure that if the ancient people of the earth came here, without hot weapons, it would probably take a lot of time to break through this castle.

It may not even be able to be attacked.

Guo Sen sighed at the dwarves' superb rock destruction and carving skills as he observed the impregnable castle.

The cart came to a halt at the bottom of the wall, and the dwarf jumped out of the frame, pulled out a piece of jerky from his fur coat, and threw it into the lizard's mouth.

The dwarf quickly grabbed a rope and climbed up, while the lizard lay on the ground to rest.

Guo Sen didn't know what the dwarves who used lizards as their transportation would think if they saw the lizardmen, but if they were to see the dwarves treat their compatriots like this with the lizardmen's fiery personality, they would definitely have a violent conflict with these guys.

The dwarves were athletic and soon reached the location of the gate.

There were hundreds of dwarves walking around the wide walls, armed with a large number of hammers, as if these were the guards guarding the place.

These people didn't say anything special about the dwarf who had just climbed up, and as if they hadn't seen it, they let him climb to the gate and go straight in.

Looking at this castle, Guo Sen suddenly felt a little strange.

Is it necessary to build such a strong castle in such a primitive era?

What are they guarding against?

Guo Sen thought carefully about the first time he saw them three hundred years ago.

At that time, these dwarves had no enemies.

Not even the animals that could fight them appeared, let alone any other humanoids.

If there really are no enemies, then why build such a place?

If you just want a strong tribe, it is much easier to cut down a tree on the ground and make one than to carve such a huge castle with so much effort, right?

Moreover, they were constantly patrolling the city walls, and it seemed that there was a real danger of enemy attack.

So, who is the enemy?

Guo Sen decided to go to the guards on the city wall first to hear if there was any information.

At this moment, from the passage that came up, he unexpectedly saw the dwarf who had just been driving.

He staggered up, the expression on his face as if panicked.

"What do you say? They came out? The dwarf with the longest beard, dressed in armor made of thin metal sheets, seemed incredulous.

"Yes! Chieftain! I was where they were, and I saw the slope from which they had made an escape, and going down the slope, I saw that their troops were gathering! The dwarf who drove the car shouted.

"......" The dwarven leader muttered for a moment, walking back and forth on the walls.

"Chief?" The surrounding dwarves all gathered around, and the expressions on their faces were extremely nervous.

Each of them wore metal armor, but it was much more rudimentary than that of the leader.

"Toru, how many of them are there?" The leader was silent for a moment, then asked the driving dwarf again.

"Chief, one, ten thousand!"

The people around let out a low cry!

"Ten thousand...... Pass my orders, and all the hunters, gatherers, and people in the workshops and mines, all come back to me! We will defend our fortified city! ”

The leader finally gave the order, and everyone around rushed down the city wall and hurriedly went to inform him.

And this dwarf, called Toru, is still in place.

"Toru, why are you ......?" the leader was still a little puzzled.

"Chief, they don't look the same as we saw before, they, they even have ......"

Guo Sen didn't hear what they said later, but the doubts in his heart grew deeper and deeper.

What exactly is this so-called "they"? As the enemy of this group of dwarves, there are actually 10,000 troops?

In this primitive era, what could have 10,000 troops to attack this castle?

In Guo Sen's memory, there was no such race three hundred years ago that could threaten the survival of the dwarves.

Even ferocious beasts will hide far away when they see these humanoids who can use such ferocious moves as "Flying Hammer Rain" despite their small stature.

Besides, which beast would attack with a force of ten thousand?

That's humanoid?

Or is it a tribe of dwarves that has come to attack?

However, for more than 300 years, how many generations have the dwarf tribe of hundreds of people been able to reproduce?

Doubts are one after another.

Guo Sen knew that unless he found the enemies of this group of dwarves, these questions would have to wait a long time to be solved.

Looking away from the castle, which was both grand and ugly, Guo Sen looked in the direction of the steppe where the dwarves had first spotted the car.

He went all the way back in the opposite direction, and suddenly found a huge crater surrounded by a forest!

It was as if it had been smashed by some unusually large fist.

And the depth of this circular crater with a radius of nearly thirty or forty kilometers is nearly 100 meters.

Inside, it is covered by a dense sea of trees, and the ground is barely visible.

The voices of countless animals and birds came from inside, making it seem extremely noisy.

Could it be that the army of the dwarves came out of this pit?

Guo Sen took such a cursory look, but he didn't find any shadows of intelligent creatures, and he didn't hear any special movements.

Looking into the distance, there are endless mountains with almost no vegetation.

It seems that the only thing to do is to search carefully.

As soon as Guo Sen thought this, he heard a howl from the huge pit that was unusually familiar to him.
