Chapter 44: The Dark Shadow of the Majaro Mountains

The valley in the Gujit Gorge was temporarily used as a dwarven settlement.

Although the valley is also vast, it cannot accommodate nearly 100,000 people after all, so it is very crowded. But this situation did not last long, as the dwarves began to enter the mine found in the Majaro Mountains, and the dwarves built their new homes as they opened the mines.

For the dwarves, Zhangxiong Gyatso maintained the greatest sincerity and arranged for someone to send them a large amount of cattle and sheep grain, completely solving their worries. The barbarian army, even under the command of Dechen Ngawang, directly allocated half of its troops and stationed them around the mine to protect the dwarves.

Although the Majaro Mountains are densely forested, they are uninhabited and infested with wild beasts, so they were not in a good situation at first, and even suffered several large-scale attacks by wild beasts. Fortunately, the barbarian army and the dwarven mine guards worked together to repel the attack of the beasts. It also made the beasts realize that they could not do anything, and had to retreat far away.

In the process, the barbarians and the dwarves deepened their friendship, and after Zhangzhung Gyatso's secret instructions, the cooperation between them was very pleasant.

The dwarves are natural craftsmen, and it only took them more than half a month to build a temporary station, and at this moment there are nearly a thousand people working in the mines. The patriarch of Odin, with several masters, was busy almost day and night, and began to build their own new city on the mine.

This new city will be completely excavated from the mountain, and gradually deepened as the mineral deposits are mined. Now that the initial planning is done, it is time to act on a large scale.

Patriarch Odin is very satisfied, the environment here is quiet, there is no human interference around, almost the entire mountain range belongs to the dwarves, let them do whatever they want. As for the Golden Horde, the last time I spoke with Zhangzhung Khan, the two sides had reached an agreement, and although the dwarves were nominally vassals of the Golden Horde, they had great autonomy. Except for the creation of armor and weapons for the Golden Horde, Zhangzhung Gyatso promised not to bother with anything. This is much better than being oppressed and bullied by the Terran in the Terran region.

A large number of clansmen have been settled in the valley of the Gujit Gorge, and the plan has been made, and the next step is to mobilize all the adult dwarves in the clan to enter the mines, and start building a city and forging on a large scale. For this reason, the patriarch of Odin specially took a few henchmen to return to Gujit Canyon and personally preside over the affairs of the clansmen entering the mountain.

At that time, there were only 1,000 dwarven craftsmen and a barbarian soldier from Niulu who remained in the mine.

Gujit Gorge is hundreds of miles away from the mines, and it takes several days to reach it by walking in the mountains. Therefore, the patriarch of Odin took tens of thousands of horses and horses, and after a trek, he came to the mine on the third day.

Standing on the top of a hill in the distance, he looked at the majestic mine not far away, and introduced his people to his people in high spirits, announcing that this would be their new home.

The clansmen were also cheering excitedly, and at this moment, the authority of the Odin patriarch was finally consolidated. —————— when he left the Middle-earth Domain, he was under great pressure, after all, the future was uncertain, and no one knew what would happen. Fortunately, Zhangxiong Khan is an honest king, and he promised the conditions of the dwarf clan, and all of them were implemented to the letter. The dwarves were also grateful people, and they were determined to help the Golden Horde forge the best and finest weapons and armor to turn their backwardness around.

As the plenipotentiary envoy appointed by Zhangzhung Gyatso, Dechen Ngawang has always been by the side of the Odin chief, and in addition to protecting the dwarves, he is also responsible for solving any worries for them. So he was happy to see the dwarves in good spirits.

Recently, iron ore has been mined, and the dwarven craftsmen are a little eager to open the furnace to make iron. He had seen the dwarves' craftsmanship with his own eyes, and even in the time he was away, he was estimated to have been able to create new weapons.

He and his men will undoubtedly be the first army to be equipped with dwarven weapons, and it's exciting to think about.

and the Odin patriarch humbled in, and the two issued orders at the same time, and the dwarven craftsmen and the barbarian guards marched to the mine together.

It's just over 20 miles from the mine, and although the mountain road is difficult, it can only be reached in a few hours. But as he got closer to the mine, Dechen Ngawang's expression changed dramatically. At first it was doubtful, then it became more and more ugly, almost gloomy and dripping.

Patriarch Odin was very strange and couldn't help asking, "General Deqin, what's wrong?

Deqin Awang smiled reluctantly, and said with some hatred: "Hehe, let the Odin patriarch see the joke." Before I left, I strictly ordered the guards who stayed here to patrol the surrounding area for dozens of miles to protect the safety of the mine. It's only been a few days since they left, and they're actually lazy, you see that we're all ten miles close to the mine, and there is not a single patrolling soldier who can't see it. These bastard bitches, look at how I've cleaned them up in the past. ”

Dechen Ngawang has reason to be angry, the army he commands can only belong to the second-line troops in the Golden Horde, not to mention compared with the barbarian Eight Banners, even the Eight Banners of the Beast Clan formed by the Beast Clan are more valued than them. Therefore, Dechen Ngawang was very unconvinced, and he believed that his army was not weak in combat at all. Even if he wanted to wait for the completion of this escort mission, he went to see Zhangxiong Khan and pleaded with him to see if he could lead his team back to fight side by side with the army. After all, only on the battlefield with the human race can you make achievements and be promoted. And hiding in the rear and being the escort of the dwarves must not be of much use.

It's good now, before he can speak, his subordinates are lazy and degenerate first, so how can they have the face to open their mouths to Zhangxiong Khan?

Patriarch Odin comforted him, but Deqin Awang was just silent, with a gloomy face, and hurried to the mine.

But as they approached the mine, both Dechen Awang and Odin Patriarch's faces changed dramatically, for they had found no trace of anyone along the way, including the dwarves, as if all of them had disappeared without a trace.

When I came to the temporary camp at the foot of the mine, there was only a place of tools and wooden houses left, and even a streak of blood, but there was no trace of anyone. Both the dwarven and barbarian convoys vanished into thin air.

Even the dullest of people knew something was wrong, but what exactly attacked them, no one knew. Dechen Ngawang immediately issued an order, and thousands of troops under his command were eyeing the surroundings. The patriarch of Odin also prepared his own people for battle.

Suddenly, a barbarian warrior pointed at a big tree in the dense forest in the distance and shouted, "Look, there are people there!"

At the sound of his voice, a dark shadow suddenly retreated from the tree into the dense forest, and then disappeared without a trace. Just as he was leaving, he shot out a wooden spear with a piece of bark tied to it, on which were written a few large characters.

Get out of the Majaro Mountains!
