"Because someone is going to force them to comply!" said Avery coldly.

Without waiting for Roy to ask, he said as if pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

"You know, in the Hundred Years War of Humans and Demons, the dwarves are all important members of the human alliance. Not only do they have a talent far beyond all races in metallurgical and wrought iron, and the weapons and equipment they make are an important basis for the human alliance to be able to compete with the demons, but also the combat effectiveness of the dwarves is also very strong. ”

"Of course!" Roy nodded.

Not to mention the pervert of the axe spirit who guards a mountain alone and kills thousands of demons with a river of blood, let's just say that when he lived in the dungeon when he was a child, Roy saw those ogres, goblins and other races, being killed by dwarves chopping melons and vegetables.

A dwarf in heavy armor is a humanoid fighter jet. And a team of heavily armored dwarves is simply an indestructible and unstoppable steel frenzy. When these small, powerful men rushed into the enemy line, all they could see was minced meat that kept throwing into the sky.

This is still an ordinary dwarven warrior. If it is a furious warrior in the dwarf clan, its combat power is ten times more terrifying. Even the most elite knights did not dare to attack it.

In the Great War of Humans and Demons, I don't know how many times, the human alliance relied on heavily armored dwarf troops to stabilize its position. I don't know how many times, in the case of fruitless battles, it was with these dwarves that they broke through the indestructible formation of the demon clan and defeated it.

The combat effectiveness of the dwarves, there is no doubt.

Avery said: "However, after the final battle, the human alliance retreated to the land of redemption, and for various reasons, the dwarves have basically withdrawn from the human world. Like elves, gnomes, and barbarians, they build cities far from humans. Except for a small number of craftsmen and some necessary trades, it can be said that they have been cut off from us humans. ”

"Hmph!" Todd on the side snorted coldly, "It's not the Holy See yet"

After saying half a sentence, he didn't say any more.

Before the final battle. Humans and dwarves, elves and other races have long been fused together and inseparable. Looking back at human civilization, no matter what aspect it is, more than half of it is contributed by foreign races. Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about metallurgical forging, and most of the current human technology comes from dwarves.

And among the famous blacksmiths for thousands of years, dwarves account for more than 70%. On the walls of the Imperial Capital Museum, there are rows of portraits of dwarven forgers.

It's a pity that after the final battle. Because the demons are blocked to the east of the Broken Sky Mountain Range, there is no threat of life and death, and the Holy Sect is dominant, therefore, the dwarves who believe in different gods have become almost heretical beings among human beings.

Although the Holy See did not explicitly give an order, the human environment for more than 300 years has given too much injustice to the dwarves. That's why the dwarves left in anger.

Except for the dwarves. The same was true of the other major races of the human alliance back then.

Avery continued, "Since the demon invasion two months ago, the impact of the war on people's livelihoods. It spread from the north to all parts of the mainland. Food is particularly tight. Not only do the lords in various places no longer sell grain, but even the merchant groups and chaebols have joined the ranks of hoarding grain. ”

He sighed and said, "Although the dwarves have left human society, the grain production areas of the land of redemption are basically in the hands of humans, and they are in terms of food. The dependence on humans is very large. Therefore, this time the food crisis also quickly affected them. ”

"Because of the food, and because of the demons, there are now many dwarves who have left the dungeon. Return to the human world. They are the natural allies of our human race, and there is no way back in the face of the demons. I've heard that the Dwarven elders are deliberating on how to unite with humans, or ......"

Avery paused and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who are ..... uniting with!"

As soon as he heard this, Roy's eyes suddenly narrowed.

As Avery said, although food is tight now, the South may not really be so tight that it can't afford to eat. After all, the demons are still far away in the northeast of the Pompeii Empire, thousands of kilometers away from Lulian.

Distance, which means time. Don't say that the demons are still far away, let's just say that the Phillips turned the southern city of Lulian into a sea of hellfire, ruins and broken walls, and the city walls can already be seen when they are closest to the city of Medin, and the people are not living the same way, sowing what should be sown, and reaping what should be harvested?

Therefore, the current food crisis is certainly due to the barren and bitter cold of the redemption continent and the harsh and fragile living environment, but more importantly, it should be due to human factors.

Because of the fear of the demons, everyone is now hoarding a lot of food. It's like dominoes. And the demons just toppled the first piece. And before the dwarf falls, I'm afraid that someone will help it and add fuel to the fire!

The so-called puppet is not guilty of his crimes.

The Dwarves' forging skills are unique in the world, and that alone is enough to attract people's coveting, not to mention, their heavily armored warriors, and their furious warriors. If you can control the dwarf race, then it will be a great wealth for any force.

"That's why they can't buy food in the city of Muni," Roy said coldly, "because no one will sell it to them at all!"

"Exactly," Avery said, "and now in the city of Muni are not only the wealthy families of our Solan Empire, but even the people of the Pompeii Empire and the Philip Empire......

"Feireen?!" Although I know that the three empires have been temporarily united because of the demons. But Roy still can't convert it.

Philip invaded Solan, how many Solan people were killed, and how many cities were destroyed?

Two months ago, the Lulian army and civilians were fighting them to the death. Even now, they still occupy the border cities of Longmen and Puru. How did you turn around and become an ally?

Even if it is because of the relationship between the demons, it is too unacceptable for them to appear in the territory of the Solan Empire and in Muni City.

As if seeing Roy's confusion and anger, Avery sneered: "Even if you know that you are not popular, these guys are brazenly lying here under the guise of fighting the demons." Hum. According to my temper, since these guys have been sent to the door, they should be killed directly. However, now that the Human Alliance has been established, and the Holy See and the Kingdom of Heaven are pressing, we can only endure for the sake of the overall situation......"

Roy was silent.

Avery continued, "Now there is a mix of dragons and snakes in Muni City. Everybody wants to reap the benefits. Especially the elven race, the dwarf race, these alien races, have become the cake in the eyes of these people, just waiting to cut a big piece from it. Who's going to sell them grain, you say?"

The team moved forward, and the horses' hooves made a crisp tapping sound on the bluestone pavement.

Along the way, Roy saw a lot of aliens.

Elves, dwarves. Gnomes, barbarians...... Even in the crowd, he saw several orcs. In the past, the desire to meet these aliens was either in the slave market or in the gladiatorial arena.

And now, the people around me seem to be used to it.

Whether it's a handsome elf or a grumpy one. Look at the dwarf who looks unhappy at everyone, walking in the bustling flow of people. No one would pay much attention to them.

A team of mercenaries, passing by the team, seemed to have taken the task and rushed out of the city. In this squad of twelve, Roy saw two elven rangers and a barbarian warrior.

On the side of the street, a dwarf is selling a small mechanical pet that can run with people, and looks like a small squirrel. Very flexible, causing a few children to giggle.

And more of them are the aliens who came out of the shops on the street with blue faces.

Weapons, armor, magic pattern products, elixirs, and daily necessities are okay, but those grain stores simply send men to guard the door. As long as it's interracial. Entry is not allowed.

"I have heard that the Grand Duke of Adolf is just and benevolent," Roy asked, after a moment of silence, "is it true that the Grand Duke is the same ....... to these alien races?"

Hearing this, Avery and Todd couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.

Todd said: "Although the Grand Duke also hopes to get the help of these foreign tribes, but it is not enough to use such means. Only, Mr. Leo, you know, we in Lulian have just recovered from the war. To be able to defeat the Ferrets, the lords have made great contributions, and after the battle, they will be rewarded for their merits......"

Through Guò Todd's narration, Roy understood.

It turned out that it was not Adolf who was in the same league with those people, but because it involved the interests of these lords who fought with him in the north and south, and it was inconvenient to interfere.

Take Mrs. Joyce, whom Roy knew very well.

Although she took a bit of a detour, she did make a lot of efforts in the last coalition formed after Fano's departure. Not to mention the private army under his command, the food provided by his territory alone supports nearly half of the logistics.

After the war, Adolf first made up this part of Mrs. Joyce's contribution from the logistics of the captured Southern Legion, and then gave her twice as much food as she had paid, and a piece of territory recovered from the rebel nobles.

This is what a monarch should do to meritorious heroes, and no one has anything to say.

However, this also makes most of Lulian's current grain concentrated in the hands of the lords. Although the Grand Duke of Adolf is the ruler of the Duchy of Lulian, the Lulian family is essentially just a larger noble lord.

He has to bear the logistics of the Muni City Guard, the Coastal Mercenary Regiment and the Bavarian Knights, as well as the Red Leaf Knights and the Twelfth Legion, which have not yet been completely evacuated, and he is not well fed.

Private property is sacrosanct. Since the territory belongs to other lords, as long as the people pay all the taxes, even the Grand Duke has no right to intervene.

As he spoke, the familiar South Gate barracks had arrived.

As he walked through the barracks gate, Todd finally said, "Actually, it's not all our fault. Speaking of which, these elders of different races are really too old-fashioned and arrogant. Forget it, these are not the things that you and I cāo have in mind, let's go"...... (To be continued......)
