Arantir. Underground mines.

After the disaster, the Chanda Council was reborn, and new faces appeared in the council, who were more radical and proactive, and more executive than the members of the council in the past. Arondo-Shepherd has re-established himself as a member of the Zenda Council, and he is a die-hard supporter of Maiden Hagi, believing that humanity must unite under one banner in order to defeat the ancient evils. Now that the initial reorganization of the council has been completed, and a new transition of power is underway, it is clear that Stephen is behind it, with whom the Alondo Shepherd has made some agreements.

"This is the mining area of Yalandir. ”

"At present, the underground gnomes are in charge of mining, and it will be handed over to you in the future. One of the officials under the command of Countess Elijah turned to the large group of dwarves behind him.

The dwarves behind him looked quite burly, their limbs were quite thick and powerful, and their skin was a faint stone gray, and a middle-aged dwarf led by him said disdainfully: "Underground gnomes?

"Stony Dwarves!"

"Let these humans and gnomes see who the real mining masters are!"

These stone-hearted dwarves from the Quarter Moon were disdainful of the dwarf's skills, and after hearing the leader's words, they raised their tools and shouted, and then they rushed in excitedly to start surveying the ore veins and designing the mining plan, they didn't even need too sophisticated tools, only to see a stone-hearted dwarf with a big white beard pick up a piece of ore and weigh it in his hand, then sniffed, licked it with his tongue and said, "These ore veins are very good." High metal content. ”

"Looks like it's accompanied by Adamantite!"

He walked around the vein, then waved his hand and said, "Young men, start here! There should be a topaz mine around here!"

The human official was stunned by the scene in front of him, this kind of ability is not something that humans can have.

"According to our agreement with the Excellency. ”

"We can take 30% of the mined metal and use it to forge weapons and equipment. Isn't that right?" said the stone-hearted dwarf at the head.

The human official nodded when he heard this, "That's nature. ”

"Your Excellency Stephen's will is beyond doubt!"

The leader of the stone-hearted dwarves nodded, "Very good. Then we are now officially starting to take over all the mines in Yalandir. The other miners are also at our disposal. No problem, right?"

The human officer nodded, "No problem. ”

After the Great War, the number of the Stoneheart Dwarves was reduced to just over 10,000 people, and they only retained one seat in the Chanda Council, seemingly withdrawing from the struggle for power for some reason. There were less than 3,000 dwarven defenders left in the entire group, and among them were many young dwarven warriors who were underage or under the age of fifty. At present, the work of the entire Stoneheart Dwarf group is to open up the mining area, and Arantir will provide them with daily necessities, and the subsequent arsenal will also be in charge of the Stoneheart Dwarves, who will forge new weapons for Chanda's army.

"Lads. ”

"Don't go near there! that's the territory of the Zela Ant Clan!"

A burly bearded dwarf called back a young dwarf on the left, and commanded in a deep voice, "Do you see that line? ”

"I heard that there is a city of dark elves in this underworld?"

"Would you like to visit them?"

The stone-hearted dwarf at the leader glared at his deputy when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "This is Motela. Not our hometown. Don't act rashly. ”

"We are nothing more than a bunch of refugees who have taken refuge in His Excellency. ”

Motela is good, but it's not my hometown.

Hearing the leader's words, the other stone-hearted dwarves couldn't help but fall silent, just with their heads down and began to mine the veins, and they secretly vowed that one day they would recapture the mountain veins that their ancestors had left for them.

Meanwhile.

On the shores of the Southern Wind Valley, new ships have set sail.

A detachment of Viku warriors are boarding these dragon-headed ships, and with the help of sorcerers, they are diving into the sea, ready to hunt the whales of the ocean for enough food. Cultivation could not satisfy such a large population, and the entire southern and northern borders had been destroyed by the invasion of ancient evils, and the price of food had become higher and higher, and it was all hoarded in the hands of the nobility and difficult to buy. Stephen can't spare his hands to clean up these nobles now, and he doesn't plan to establish a secular royal power, and attacking the nobles at this time is a bit like stabbing a hornet's nest, which is easy to arouse the hostility of the entire Motella natives.

It's easy to get started, but it's hard to deal with the aftermath

Stephen was ready to come little by little, first targeting the vicinity of Dragon City, and now Countess Elijah had already begun to prepare.

At present, all of Stephen's goals are concentrated in resource-rich areas, and Dragon City is his primary target, but this place has been at war for hundreds of years, and it is a must for the Normans on the border between the north and the south, so Stephen has to lay it out even if he wants to do it. Although the natives of Motella are not strong, they can still pull out a few legendary warriors.

Arantir. Suburbs.

The girl Hagi is wearing an ordinary long dress and is helping the victims of the String Moon to rebuild their homes, although she is the last bloodline inheritor of the human royal family, but she has not enjoyed the life of a princess since she was a child. At this moment, she does not have the slightest shelf, helping to build houses in the crowd, taking care of women and children, and comforting the injured, just like ordinary people, doing what she can do. Dark Years Death Omen destroyed the last kingdom of humanity, and her father died in battle to rescue the Viku people, Hagi has been practicing the way of a warrior monk since she was a child. As an adult, Hagi gained the love of the Viku people with her charisma, and was active in the Wind Spirit Canyon for a long time to help others, and now she is the spiritual leader who symbolizes the human royal family after the Void Master.

She is also the titular leader of the Chanda Council!

The girl was so happy with this that she did what she could in her own way to help others reassure the refugees and reunite them.

"Help!"

"Lord Desa is crazy! Come on, people......" A panicked exclamation sounded.

In a flash.

The entire camp was in an uproar, and then several warrior monks leaped out, and the figure of Arondo-Shepherd soon appeared nearby. The commotion was quickly quelled, but an important message was sent to Stephen.

A druid has gone berserk all of a sudden!

Although he was quickly controlled by the others, he became a little mentally insane, and almost killed the nearby civilians by mistake!
