Yolander and Mad Knife led an army of more than 2,000 men from the Lost Lands back to Eli.

There are two major groups of dwarves in Erie, one is a pure-blooded dwarf who lives in the mountains and is located in the very center of the continent of Ery, and the other is a forest elf after the marriage of elves and dwarves, living in the narrow Hammondale forest in the south.

When they set foot on this familiar land, they were greeted by devastation. It's been three years since the demon legions from Iover invaded the continent, and the ruins and wreckage of the battlefield can be seen everywhere.

All of the cities of Eri have been conquered by Fiona's demon legions, and only a small number of resistance forces are now active in the Hammondale Forest.

As they stood on this dreamy land, many dwarves couldn't help but cry with their heads in their arms. Their homes have been burned down, but where are the relatives in exile now? Are they still alive?

There was a strong sense of pessimism and disappointment in the troops, and some even began to flee secretly.

When the patrol returned to the camp with a few captured deserters, there was a dispute over what to do with the men.

According to military regulations, deserters were to be executed on the spot as an example. The army must have iron discipline, otherwise it will become a plate of scattered sand and no longer have strong combat effectiveness.

"We can't put them to death!" Yolande finally made up his mind, "They are just worried about their relatives, they want to know their safety, and they want to go back and find out about them." In fact, each of us thinks so in our hearts, and there is nothing wrong with them. ”

These people are all old subordinates of Crazy Knife, and although Crazy Knife is very angry about their behavior, he still feels that he can't do it if he wants to kill them.

"What do you say?" said the mad knife, "We have few warriors, if we don't stop this kind of behavior, they will definitely flee for the most part, so how can we fight?"

"Now that the soldiers are all at home, the phenomenon of fleeing will happen all the time, and killing people every day will not solve the fundamental problem. Yolande walked back and forth, "I think so, since they all want to go back, if we forcibly stop them, then sooner or later they will become real deserters, living in fear all day long, and they will choose to flee for the rest of their lives, and they and their families will not be able to join our camp again." ”

"You mean let them go?" said Madblade glaring.

"Yes, if you want to go, you can stay, but before they go, I have to tell them what I want. ”

"You are the king of Eli, although you have not been crowned yet...... Do whatever you want, I hope what you say will work for them!"

When the soldiers heard that they were going to dispose of the fleeing soldiers, they all gathered.

Yolande jumped on a mound of earth and said loudly: "Fellow relatives, brothers, we have gone through so many ups and downs together from the Lost Land, eating together, sleeping together, fighting together, I have never doubted your loyalty!"

"Even now!" said Yoland, looking at the soldiers tied up in front of him, "Even them! No matter what happens, you will always be my brothers!"

Yolander motioned for his men to release the soldiers. The ropes that bound them were then severed, and they moved their bloodless arms, and like all the soldiers, they looked at Yoland.

"I know you all want to go back and find your family. I'm the same, I still have a wife who hasn't been through the door, I don't know if she will be unable to bear the loneliness and remarry!"

Some of the soldiers let out a muffled laugh.

"I don't blame you for thinking so! Relatives are the reason for our survival, and relatives are the motivation for us to fight!"

"We all live for what we love, otherwise we will be like walking corpses, no different from undead zombies!"

"I'm not going to force everybody to stay, it's free for everyone to stay. When you return, you may find your loved ones alive, or you may find that they have died in the fighting......"

"What would you do if they were alive? Would you take them like rabbits in the woods and sneak peeks out of their hiding places in the blue sky? If they were dead, you would stand by their graves like tombstones, living in the shadow of guilt for the rest of your life?"

"You, you, you, and you......" Yoland's hand passed over the warriors' faces, "what would you do?"

"We will fight!" roared the warriors!

"Yes! Only fighting can protect our loved ones, only fighting can avenge our loved ones! We can't live like dying dogs, we must live freely, because we are dwarves! Powerful dwarves, born warriors!"

The dwarves straightened their chests, and the fire in their eyes began to burn again.

"Any attempt to subjugate the dwarven race, any enemy who seeks to enslave the dwarves, will tremble before us, and will be drowned in the roar of our quest for freedom!"

The dwarves raised their arms and let out an earth-shattering cry.

"Eri has fallen, but this does not mean the end of the battle, but the beginning of the battle!"

"We don't choose to go into exile, we choose to fight on this land! The invaders took away the sword from our fathers, but they will never take away the land left to us by our fathers!"

"If the demons want this land, then we will use this land to bury them! even if they are buried in any corner of this land, they will not be blessed by the gods, and they will only get endless curses!"

"Their bones will be turned into fertilizer, fertilizing every inch of Eli's soil! Where their bones are buried, the flowers of freedom will eventually bloom!"

"Take your sword and tomahawk and go back and kill every demon warrior you come across!

"You will be two thousand kindling fire burning in the land of Eli!

"We may die in battle, we may not live to the day when victory comes, but we firmly believe that our children and grandchildren will live well on this land! They will continue to multiply on this land, they will inherit our blood and bravery, and their bodies will make the enemy fear like we do!"

"Go burn, my relatives, and fight, my brothers! When our people stand up, when our armies come back together, the enemy will pay the heaviest price for their wrongdoings!"

The soldiers took turns passing their leader, clasping their hands on their left chests in salute. Perhaps they did want to go home as deserters at first, but now they are like warriors on a march.

"You're good, Yoland. I wasn't convinced of you, but now it seems that you are indeed better than me, and only you can be the true king of the dwarves!, I will continue to be your general!" Madsword expressed his heartfelt sigh.

"Thank you, my brother!" said Yoland, clenching the arm of the mad knife.

"But we're all Commander of the Light Pole now!" said Madblade with a wry smile.

"We have to trust them! Although they are gone today, when they come back, they will join our troops with dozens or hundreds of people!"

"What should we do?" said Madsword, looking at the remaining dozen or so heroes.

"Let's contact the dwarven tribes scattered all over the world, and we need to find a way to let them know that we are not only back, but that we are fighting for freedom, so that there will be hope in their hearts!"

"Let's split up and try to reach as many people as possible in the shortest possible time. ”

"Yes, I'll go to the East, Jenny is in Carava now, I'm going to get in touch with her as soon as possible. Brother, on your way to the west, not only do you have to find as many of our people as you can, but you also have to find a way to find the Centaur Warriors, Elven Marksmen, Silver Pegasus Warriors, Deadwood Warriors, and Unicorn Camps, all of which were once our allies, and we need to get their support again. ”

"We still need the support of the Mother of the Golden Dragon, and we don't know if we can find her. ”

"Try your best!"

"Yoland, after finding Jenny, give me a few kisses. The Knife made a joke about Yoland.

"Hehe, okay. Yolande touched his head and said, "I hope she's not married yet!"

"But I suggest you don't go to her for now! If you go now, she may think of you as a victim and look down on you! If you go, you have to take a decent army with you. ”

"You're so right, I can't disgrace our family!"

Fiona is on the border between Dia and Erathia, preparing to command the Demon Legion to launch the final blow against the Frontier City. He didn't expect that a small border city would actually block his army for nearly two years.

Hades, the king of Hades, has already sent someone to express his displeasure. But what can be done, the defense of the border city is too strong, every time it attacks, the border city is like a small boat drifting on the ocean, but no matter how big the storm is, it can't capsize.

The fortress is located on the border between Dia and Erathia, which was founded to deter invasion by warlike dwarves. After hundreds of years of repair and fortification, the castle resembles a steel monster covered in horns, and it makes people feel scared!

Fiona could not muster all the forces to launch an assault on the city. Although he had captured all the cities of Eri, it threw him a heavy baggage. He must leave enough troops in these cities to defend him, otherwise as soon as he draws reinforcements from these cities, he will be ambushed countless times along the way, and even the cities may be taken advantage of by the resistance forces. He had to turn around again to destroy the pesky dwarves, but they would immediately flee into the dense forest, and there would be no trace of them.

He would love to kill all the dwarves, and he would love to do so, even trying. But who will mine and harvest wood for him to produce food?

He had also tried to adopt a policy of appeasement and try to get along with the dwarves, but the deep hostility lurking in their hearts could be detected in the deep and cunning eyes of the dwarves. They usually do one thing in front of them and one in the back, and stab them in the back at the first opportunity.

Fiona knew that he could only be a conqueror and that as a guardian he could barely fight.

The new governor from Ioph will soon arrive, let him solve these problems!
