Chapter 338: The Fall
"The Great Molten Fortress is not far away, it is definitely the liveliest city in the underground, unlike those dark elves who have a lot of stinking rules, as long as we don't make trouble in our city, we dwarves will welcome all travelers who come to the city with the warmest fires and the most mellow ale", Thunderbolt rode the rock sheep at the front of the group, perhaps because he was about to reach his destination, and happily introduced as he went.
After being delayed for five days in Jing'anbo, Lin Ze's caravan continued on the road, targeting the dwarf's underground city of the Giant Melting Fortress, after offending the Dark Source Chamber of Commerce, Lin Ze gave up his plan to enter the sister city through regular channels, so he was not so keen on the gold forging competition, just took care of the dwarf in the team, sent him here, and then diverted to the sister city, in order to travel lightly, so most of the goods in the caravan were also placed in Jing'anbo.
"You can't eat the stove fire~ What's the use of that?" The owl was very dissatisfied and said to the dwarf, "What do you have to eat there?" ”
"Eat? Grilled steak with blazing ale, rabbit with thunder spirits, roasted whole lamb with Crane ale, and ...... There are so many more, in short, they will not disappoint you! The dwarf recalled carefully and said with an oath.
"Uh~Bad guy, let's send this dwarf to the door and leave~" The owl stood on the silver horn rock sheep and turned his head, looking at Lin Ze very genuinely.
"Is that the fire that you dwarves welcome, it's really enthusiastic enough~" The little black bird flew into the air and looked into the distance, "I can see the fire burning over the city here~"
"Over the city? Aren't all fires in the stove? The dwarf didn't react for a while, "Oh no~" Thunderbolt then looked up and saw the red flames illuminating the entire space in front of him.
A faint smell of scorching came to his nose, and the anxious dwarf hurriedly urged his mount Rock Sheep to speed up, and the whole team followed behind him, this is indeed a huge city, the huge molten wall is built in the arc-shaped mountain wall, and in front of the mountain wall is a tall city wall.
The walls didn't look good at this point, with crumbling stones, collapsed arrow stacks, dark red bloodstains, and two twisted metal gates leaning crookedly against the wall.
Looking at this dwarven city from a distance, it only feels very huge, and when you get closer to the outside of the city wall, you can more intuitively appreciate the majesty of the city, the city wall alone is more than twenty meters high, not to mention the layers of urban buildings in the mountain wall behind the city wall.
Burning corpses were piled high under the walls, mostly dwarves, as well as other humans, lizardmen, etc., some of which were gnawed to pieces.
"No~ This is impossible, what about the guards of the Great Molten Fortress, there are more than 4,000 shield guards here, how can this be~" Thunderbolt came to the city wall in disbelief.
"Woo wow ~ woo wow~" A terrible cry came from inside the city.
"There are still living people, they should be children who are not dead~" The dwarf Thunderbolt suddenly raised his head and looked inside the broken gate.
"Don't go over!" The dark red dragon spear crossed in front of the dwarf, "That's the voice of the demon baby's vigilance, let's run away, they found it!" ”
"Let's go!" Lin Ze immediately turned around, he had already heard the commotion in the city.
Suddenly, several huge fiery red two-headed dogs ran out of the city, extremely fast, and went directly around the back of the caravan to block the way.
"Cerberus ~ Don't be entangled by them, the demons inside are about to come out!" Ba Wulong clamped his legs, brandished his riding spear and urged his swift dragon to rush forward.
"Huh~" The attack of the two laser guns came one after another, and the red light hit the hellhound with a painful hiss, and he paused slightly and continued to move forward.
"Don't use a laser gun!" Cerberus, a creature that lives in hot areas, seems to have excellent resistance to laser guns, Lin Ze pulled out the throwing axe, his arm shook, and one of the running cerberus immediately fell to the ground and struggled, and the flying axe smashed one of its heads.
The other Cerberus was forced back by Ba Wulong's cavalry, and taking advantage of this short delay, the caravan turned around and accelerated away from the city to run into the distance, running out for a long time, and the demon chased out of the city was unwilling to go back, and the Cerberus who was hit in the head by Lin Ze's flying axe also took his flying axe away.
"Fortunately, this should only be some low-level demons left to sweep the tail, they may be collecting materials and goods in the city", Ba Wulong breathed a sigh of relief, "How could a demon attack the city of the dwarves?" Especially if it's a large city like the Great Molten Fortress, which is well-defended, populous, and remote? Completely outweighed the losses, and the demon's actions were strange. ”
"What are your plans?" Lin Ze looked at the dwarf who bowed his head and was silent.
Thunderbolt raised his head and said goodbye solemnly, "Since the war has started, thank you for taking care of me along the way, I must leave and rush to Earthfire City, where is our war fortress, there will inevitably be a battle mobilization, this is the battle of our dwarves!" ”
"Well, then let's separate here", Lin Ze took out a few bags of Ice Flame Liquor from the box and handed them to the dwarves, "You dwarves prefer to use their own weapons, so we won't send you the rest of the caravan's goods, I can only give you some spirits to drink on the road, be careful and cherish along the way." ”
……
"Hurry up and go ahead~ What are you doing blocking the road! Do you know how much you have to lose by delaying the trip of our Chrissy caravan? Get out of the way, don't go and stay! ”
In front of a cobweb-shaped intersection, there were many caravans, and all kinds of loads of goods were crowded together in a haphazard manner, so dull and abnormal, it seemed that even the air was a little insufficient, and this was a very important transportation hub, and three of the five passages were connected to the large cities, especially the one leading to the dwarven city of Stone.
"Run~ The devil is coming!" Suddenly there was a noisy shout in the passage ahead, and the fire flickered in the gray passage.
"Don't block the road behind, run, it's a demon!"
"Get out of the way! Ah~~"
"Boom~" A few red rays of light flashed in front of him, and the violent heat wave hit immediately, and the back suddenly became a mess, and the caravan that was already crowded together was even more turbulent, the neighing of the mounts and the roar of the merchants were intertwined, and only a few decisive merchants immediately dropped their goods and escaped from the narrow passage alone.
"Abyss Lord, and the Lava Horn Demon, run~"
"They're chasing after them, and it's too late to run."
Lin Ze's caravan was last in line, and he made the fastest U-turn.
"Why are there demons everywhere? What should I do? Lin Ze looked at Bawulong, if he wanted to go to the sister city, the fastest way was to pass through Stone, the war has now spread here, and this road is impassable.
"If we can't wait, we can try to take the Hanging Rock Bridge, many years ago it was still the only way for caravans to go to the sister city, now basically no one walks there, although it will be closer, but the road is difficult to walk, we may not be able to cross the bridge with goods."
"I can only try it", Lin Ze didn't want to wait for the demon's war to burn before leaving, God knows how long this kind of war would last.
