Chapter 322: Forbidden Land
"Out of nowhere?"
Beowulf frowned, he didn't think that these soldiers would deceive him in such a matter, because these guards were the elite of his army, and they were among the first soldiers to follow Jason.
Loyalty, responsibility, and responsibility are all trustworthy.
"Yes, my lord, it seems to have appeared in front of us in the blink of an eye. The little commander nodded in reply.
It's a little weird, Beowulf stares at the ruins in the distance, especially the land next to it, but everything is normal, and there is no clue at all.
Is it an illusion?
"My lord, there's something strange here, why don't we leave first?" said a commander who came to his side and said with some solemnity.
In the face of the unknown, it is better to retreat first, find out the details of it and then come back, and he does feel a little hairy in his heart.
Anyone who encounters such a strange and terrifying thing will feel panicked, not to mention that this ruin is also inhabited by a group of unidentified creatures with extremely strong combat power.
"Solu, tell the soldiers to retreat immediately, you lead them back a mile first, and I'll continue to observe here and then arrive. ”
Beowulf also agreed with him, not that he was also afraid, but that he was worried that the soldiers under his command would have some accidents, and there were indeed some evil sects here, which made him a little unable to see through the details.
"Yes, sir. ”
Commander Solo immediately agreed, then turned around and gathered his soldiers to pack up the camp and slowly retreat to the rear.
Soon after, Beowulf, who had no clue, followed, but his expression was a little ugly, and there was some reddish blood on his sword.
He had just broken in once, but to no avail, and he found that the further he went, the stronger these half-human, half-beast monsters became.
It's like a class, and the weak only deserve to live on the outermost periphery.
"Your Excellency. ”
As soon as the commanders saw him returning, they immediately stood up and saluted respectfully, and then stopped talking, but Beowulf raised his hand to stop him.
He sat down in front of the campfire, his face ugly, not knowing what he was thinking.
The people around him looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with him.
"What a person!
Suddenly, after a while, Beowulf grabbed a piece of wood and threw it at a snowdrift in the distance.
The firewood shot into the distance with a faint spark, and when he was about to touch the snowdrift, a shield suddenly broke through the snow, and the spark exploded, but the shield also blocked his sudden attack.
"Young humans, we have no ill will, but you have broken an ancient covenant and set foot in this cursed forbidden land. ”
A rough voice reached his ears, and a strong figure about 1.5 meters tall emerged from the flying snowflakes.
A thick beard, a bulky sledgehammer, and a rugged piece of equipment made Beowulf and his guards feel familiar.
It seems that Rodney's forging style is very similar to theirs, but slightly more refined.
"Dwarves?"
Beowulf was shocked, the myths and legends of his previous life also had this race, and compared to Rodney, this one was more like a dwarf.
Rodney's guy was taller than himself, and it was hard to believe that guy could be a real dwarf.
"That's right, we are the dwarves, the Copperbeard tribe that has lived in the northern ice fields for hundreds of years, and standing in front of you is the most talented warrior of the Copperbeard tribe, Cel Copperbeard!"
The dwarf nodded, shook the sledgehammer in his hand, and replied proudly.
Beowulf didn't pay attention to his previous introduction, but his heart was shaken, it turned out that the legend was true, and there were really dwarves on this ice field!
But don't the dwarves all live in places with earthfire?
"Are you guys here?"
In addition, Beowulf asked with some confusion, after all, he just felt the breath of this dwarf, could it be that there are other dwarves nearby?
Thinking of this, he glanced around vigilantly, but found nothing.
"That's right, us!"
The dwarf Cel replied a little embarrassed, wearing forbidden demon armor on his body, but he was actually discovered, which made his face a little unbearable.
As his words fell, dozens of small, but incomparably strong dwarven warriors quietly appeared in the surrounding snow and behind the rocks in the distance.
They didn't smug like Cell, but looked at Beowulf and them with vigilant eyes, and the weapons in their hands were also varied, but the mainstream ones were still warhammers and tomahawks.
"Put away your weapons. ”
Thinking quickly, Beowulf immediately made a decision about this, and he ordered the soldiers behind him, one Rodney has raised the forging technology of the Iron Tooth Collar by more than a notch, which shows how much influence this group of dwarves has.
What's more, he didn't know how many dwarven warriors actually existed on this ice field, and in case of a conflict, it would be a blow to the outpost fortress.
The guards looked at each other, but complied with his orders and put away their weapons, but the hands that did not leave the hilt of their swords showed that they had not let their guard down.
"Humans, why are you approaching this forbidden land. ”
The dwarves relaxed a lot when they saw them like this, at least they didn't continue to maintain their tense momentum, and at this moment a dwarf with a somewhat gray beard walked out, his armor and hammer were all black.
And his status doesn't seem to be low, as soon as he stood up, just now that Sail stepped aside, his expression was extremely respectful.
"I am a legion commander under the command of His Royal Highness Jason of the Lopez Kingdom, and I came here this time because several soldiers died here unintentionally, so I brought the soldiers here to check, and we have no ill intentions. ”
Beowulf was neither humble nor arrogant, first bowing to the dwarf, and then explaining softly.
"My name is Atling Copperbeard, the elder of the Copperbeard Clan, in charge of guarding the forbidden land, and it was our dereliction of duty that those humans came to the forbidden land some time ago before we could stop them. ”
Atlin understood the cause and effect after listening to it, they had known about the arrival of these humans, and they also knew that they had expelled the evil barbarians, so he said apologetically.
"Human, it's been a long time since you've set foot in the ice field, can you tell me what you're here for?" he asked, a little apprehensive.
The dwarves are no longer the huge race they were a thousand years ago, otherwise they wouldn't have avoided humans during the Great Search decades ago.
This is all because they fear that it will bring disaster to their own race, and the dwarves who have been allies with humans know too well about human greed.
If it weren't for the forbidden land this time, they wouldn't have shown up rashly.
