"The great god of steam, Lord of life and death, your servant Augustus prays to you. ”

“...... Under your guidance, we have infiltrated the entire Vlad territory, affecting all the castles of mid-rank vampires in the vicinity, and getting twenty-three thousand seven hundred and eighty-six dwarves to recite your name and honor you as a holy ......"

“...... Two thousand six hundred and nine believers have already died in battle with vampires and blood servants, and we have begun to attract the attention of high-ranking vampires, and our actions are becoming more and more dangerous......"

"Please send down once again to give the devout dwarves a new lease of life from the slavery of the vampires, away from the plateau of the night. ”

"Steam supreme. ”

The icon in front of Augustus was quite strange, a thick tower-like arrow, round and gray, carved with countless strange patterns. It was based on the shape of the earth-destroying weapon they had seen in Atlantis—in Lucian's words, the "Cult of the Bomb God."

The body was completely prostrate on the ground, Augustus prayed sincerely to the god of steam to send down the oracle again, even if more than three years had passed, and he had not received any guidance from the god of steam, he did not have the slightest doubt, only thought that it was a test of the gods.

However, his mood was urgent and worried, and when the army was not yet strong, relying on the favorable conditions of Count Vlad's sleep and the death of Lady Tess, the dwarves were able to live well in this territory. Weapons such as high-pressure steam rifles, vampire buster bullets, and armor doped with mythril that can effectively defend against vampire claws have given them the ability to resist blood servants and low-level vampires, and they are no longer simply passively beaten.

But. When the dwarves of the Cult of Steam became more and more developed into the territory of the nearby mid-level vampires, the situation suddenly became critical. Their strong hand-to-hand combat strength, spell-like abilities, and terrifying speed make them often have to lose hundreds of people in battle to injure mid-tier vampires and make the opponent retreat, even if they later invent explosive bullets that do not distinguish between enemies and enemies, it is not very effective.

According to Harold and Quirkins, unless the giant ship cannon that can restore the ancient steam civilization can be destroyed in a large area, it is expected to kill the mid-level vampire with an astonishing speed.

"But with our current knowledge, standards, and conditions, it is impossible to build that kind of terrifying cannon......" Quinns, the leader of the Dwarven Resistance, said with a little desperation at the time.

And the "Steam God Cult" Archbishop Augustus said even more worriedly: "This is still a mid-level vampire. If we alarm the higher ranks. Or wait until Count Vlad wakes up, and even the cannons of the giant ships will be of little use, unless ......"

"Unless" wasn't finished, but it didn't matter if it was Quinkins or Harold. Or Mirna knows very well. The archbishop was talking about the city of Atlantis, which seemed to destroy the entire Plateau of Night. Can briefly create a round of the legendary sun's ultimate weapon of the steam civilization.

Thinking of this, Augustus prayed more and more religiously, and the most dangerous situation is the most testing moment of trust.

"You are in charge. He controls the boundaries between life and death, is the King of kings, the God of God. ”

After finishing the prayer, just as he was about to get up, a solemn voice suddenly sounded in Augustus's head:

"The near future is near, take up the scepter and guide the dwarves to a new life. ”

Augustus's eyes widened, and he prostrated himself again with excitement, and said incoherently: "Recite your name, obey your orders." ”

He felt the light bloom in front of him, and the dim underground cavern became as bright as the silver moon. It was an illusion caused by the eruption of his great joy.

After calming down a little, he reacted and asked humbly and awefully, "Great God of Steam, I don't know how to guide the dwarves away?"

Although he knew from the word of mouth of his ancestors that the dwarven ancestors were from another place, he couldn't think of how to leave the Plateau of the Night.

"Do what I instruct, and don't ask for anything. ”

"Holy, may your glory shine on you from all suffering and evil. Augustus was instructed, and his old face glowed with dazzling brilliance, and he walked out of the altar, opened the stone door, and said to the dwarves outside in a spirited, excited and confident manner: "Convey the order to all the dwarves of the Steam God Cult, and assemble here within three days." The great god of steam has issued an oracle that we will leave the Plateau of Night!"

After a brief silence, all the dwarves present shouted in unison, led by the dwarven maiden Mirna, "Steam supremacy!"

Tears of joy and excitement ran rampant across their faces.

............

Three days later.

The vast underground cavern of Earl Vlad's domain is filled with nearly 21,000 dwarves who have secretly arrived nearby.

Some of them carried high-pressure steam backpacks and huge steam rifles, guarding the entrances to the caverns, some were ragged and had whip marks all over their bodies, the only thing they had in common was the dazzling glint of hope on their faces.

"The time has come for the oracle to be issued, and I am satisfied that every living Cultist of the Steam God has come here, which speaks to your piety and that you will be redeemed. Augustus wore a robe with a short tunic for humans, and held a silver-gray scepter like a missile, "and I, the earthly spokesman of the god of steam, will lead you forward." ”

"On this journey, no matter how dangerous or desperate it is, don't be afraid, don't stop, we have God's blessing!"

"Let's go!"

The dwarves responded in unison, "Steam supremacy", and then lined up according to the "Military Training Manual" given by the gods, and walked neatly and quietly through the underground cavern.

They all understand that staying on the Plateau of the Night will not see any hope of life at all, and sooner or later they will die in humiliation, and the appearance of the god of steam immediately made them find the sustenance of their hearts in despair, the left is also dead, the right is also dead, it is better to fight once, even if a small number of dwarves hesitate and fear, they will follow the flow under the influence of the people around them.

Through the caves, the terrain gradually elevated, and dense tombstones appeared around it.

"This is the hero who has sacrificed for the survival and hope of the dwarves for three years. Some of them are warriors, some are ordinary dwarves and women who cover the warriors, and at the moment when it comes to the life and death of the dwarves, every dwarf is a hero. Augustus spoke aloud at the front and paid his respects.

Two thousand six hundred and nine tombstones silently watched them pass, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and suddenly, a shrill and piercing cry sounded from behind the cave, and seven or eight ordinary vampires, led by two or three powerful vampires, spread their bat wings. Fly and chase!

"It's Sanelson!" a dwarf shouted. Recognize this as a vampire knight who has mutilated hundreds of dwarves, level five, "They're coming!"

"There are traitors?"

"Someone was caught on the way?"

Panic, despair, and panic spread through the ranks of the dwarves, all of whom were close to the upper ranks. In such a dense and crowded environment. The deaths and injuries of himself and others will not know how heavy the road is.

Harold looked at his compatriots. He hesitated for a moment, then spat hard and said loudly, "The warriors of the Knights of the Machines stand up! It's time for the glory of doing your best for the dwarves!"

X's, death must also die standing death, and death must also die worthwhile!

In this moment, he conquered his fear of death.

Some of the Mecha warriors with their huge steam rifles flinched, some gritted their teeth and stepped forward, their thumping guns shooting backwards with the steam diffuse, but only hitting an ordinary vampire, causing him to roll on the ground with a wail.

Just when Harold was a little desperate, Augustus's voice sounded: "On this journey, no matter how dangerous and desperate it is, don't be afraid, don't stop, we have God's protection!"

"Whoever it is, put away your weapons and keep going, without stopping, we have God's blessing!"

There is still a glimmer of hope for resistance, and if you move forward like this, you will all die miserably!" Harold looked at Augustus in bewilderment, but was shocked by his stern gaze, and had to give the order: "All men follow forward." ”

The dwarves walked slowly in confusion and fear and the shrill cries of vampires, as if they could already feel the dangerous aura of the terrifying pressure.

Suddenly, they were stunned to find the tombstones around them shaking, and dwarven corpses had risen from the graves, some of them had turned to white bones, some were still rotting pieces of flesh.

Just when they thought it was a spell-like ability for vampires to control corpses, more than 2,000 tombstones around them all fell, and the dense corpses stood up, as if the world realm of the dead had descended on the ground, eerie and terrifying.

This huge scene is completely beyond the imagination of the dwarves, and some even believe that it is the resurrection of the dead.

However, the corpses silently rushed towards the rear, entangled the vampire in patches, and occasionally made loud explosions.

"Are they still guarding us when they're dead?"

"Are they so attached to the liberation of the dwarves?"

"Another holy name of the god of steam is 'Lord of Life and Death'......"

Harold choked back tears, looked back at those past comrades-in-arms who blew themselves up, clenched his fists and said to himself: "I must fulfill your wishes!"

"This is the obsession that our dwarf clan has accumulated for tens of thousands of years!"

So, he raised his arms and shouted: "Steam first, keep going!"

After passing through the "Dwarven Heroes Cemetery" and walking out of the underground cavern, a boulder appeared in front of me.

Following the guidance of the "God of Steam", Augustus successfully opened the door of the underground palace, led the dwarves into it, and saw a deep and mysterious door in the center of the hall, shining with bright stars.

"Behind the gate, there is a new world, a world of redemption. Augustus pointed to the gate, "Dwarves who have no hesitation or suspicion can enter now." ”

At this point, who would hesitate? The dwarves entered the gate one after another under Harold's order, and disappeared in place, and the spatial vibration gradually became fierce. However, none of the vampire princes of the Plateau of the Night were in their own castles, and all of them were engaged in the operation of "rescuing" the ancestors, while the high-ranking vampires were not so sharp, and the only Count Vlad who was close was still angrily trying to get out of the blockade.

When only the members of the Knights of the Machines were left in their place, Sanelson and other vampires finally broke free from the entanglement of the undead and killed them.

"What to do?" the members of the Knights of the Mechanical Knights glanced at each other, and they were about to separate their men to fend off the vampire with a twisted and hideous face, so that the remaining comrades could leave.

Harold pressed his chest and said, "Don't be afraid, don't hesitate, let's keep going." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Harold and the other dwarves and blood-red vampires suddenly heard a crisp "ding" sound, and saw a silver coin tumbling up on the gate.

As the coin tumbled, a distorted magnetic field and a silver-white electric current appeared around it, and they quickly wound around it, twisting into a huge electric snake with the coin as the core.

Then, Sanelson was horrified to see the lightning dazzling and fill the entire hall, and the majestic and terrifying force quickly engulfed him, and he could not dodge it at all. (To be continued......)
