Chapter 23: The Resistance (4)
Over the next few days, Yoland, accompanied by Ivo, lobbied several tribes in the vicinity of the forest, hoping that they would unite under his command and fight the invaders like real dwarves. The three small tribes were worried about their small power, and they were often bullied by a large tribe around them, so they immediately joined Yolander and hugged him. But a powerful Watson tribe was unmoved by Yoland's repeated persuasion.
It's no wonder that they, who said that the tribesmen together are not as many as them?
Yolande didn't expect that the leader of their family would be a teenage girl named Monfera. Isn't this a little yellow-haired girl, what can she know? Youland has never whispered good things in front of a little girl, and as she spoke, she felt a little angry in her heart, and even wanted to give her a few big ear shaves.
But from Memphira's conversation, I found that she was very insightful. Finally, she said, "I admit that you are the dwarven prince of Erie, but that doesn't mean I have to promise to let my people follow you to your death." As the guardian of House Watson, I must first ensure their lives before I consider following you into battle. Your plan is very risky, and I have to see for myself that you have what it takes to lead us before I consider joining it. ”
"However, given that we share a common enemy, I will personally lead a squadron of Silver Pegasus warriors to help you, but not the strength of the entire family. ”
"Thank you, Monfila, for seeing for yourself how I got the win!"
One hundred silver Pegasus warriors are equivalent to the combat power of three hundred dwarven warriors. Although it did not have the full support of Memphira, it was better than nothing.
Now Yolande has eight hundred dwarven warriors, two hundred forest elf archers, and one hundred silver Pegasus warriors, and with the addition of new heroes, there are ten. However, the defenders of Centaur Valley are Hellhounds, Demons, and Hellguards, who are third, fourth, and fifth Hellwarriors, while their own armies are only two, three, and fourth, and they are very different not only in numbers but also in quality.
However, this is already all the strength that Yolande can accumulate for the time being. He had to prove to Monfera, Ivo and the others how he could win more with less, so that he could gain their trust.
Shortly after the group set off, Malchem went to the side of the road to urinate in the open. Monfera frowned and rode past him without squinting.
Malchem was smug and winked at Yoland, who was also standing next to him, ready to defecate.
...... Marchem, do you have exhibitionism?
"Marchem, let's see who is going further!" Marchem taunted Memphera with his actions, much to the satisfaction of Yoland, but he immediately challenged Marchem.
Malkem was only in his twenties, so how could he be afraid of Yoland, who was already in his early forties? He immediately said happily: "Compare to compare!"
The distance between the two water guns was almost the same, but it seemed that Yolande had a slight advantage.
Yolande laughed and said, "Malkem, you still can't do it! It is said that the more you use this thing, the closer it will get." I think you kid must have done a lot of bad things in the Lost Lands!"
Marchem's face was slightly red. He argued, "You are the prince of Eli, and of course you have to be better than us in every way. ...... I think Princess Jenny will be pleased with your performance!"
This sentence is very comfortable for Yolande to listen to. He immediately realized that he was still quite young, too old for Monfila, but still appropriate for Jenny. He patted Malkaem on the shoulder, rolled over his horse, and ran to the front of the group.
As soon as he stepped out of the forest, he spotted a group of centaur warriors. They looked at this small unit and hesitated to join.
"Who's your captain?" said Yoland, running up to them.
"I'm!what's the matter with you?"
"Join me as I help you reclaim the Centaur Valley!"
"Who are you? It looks like it's going to be difficult for a force like yours to retake the valley!"
"My name is Yoland, the son of the Dwarven King Klonis, and the heir to the throne of Eri, as evidenced by the King's Sword!"
The centaur warriors looked at the King's Sword and fell to their knees. The centaur captain was so excited that his voice trembled: "Is the rumor true? Our prince is back, and Eli will be restored!"
"Of course it's true!" Yolande didn't expect any more rumors. Could it be that this is the prophecy of some prophet? This prophet seems to have a lot of vision.
"Your Royal Highness, Centaur Captain Serena swears allegiance to you!"
"How many of you are there, Serena?"
"Your Royal Highness, we have eight hundred men!" Serena whistled, and hundreds of centaur warriors immediately poured out of the dense forest.
Centaur warriors are only first-class soldiers, and although they are not strong, they can win by numbers. With the help of these fighters, Yolande felt that the odds of victory were much greater.
"Serena, tell me about the valley. Yolande said.
"This is the Centaur River, with steep canyons on both sides, and no one can go up or down it," Serena paddled across the sandy land with his halberd. We passed through the meadows, and then around the migratory current, and five miles on, we came to the gold mines. ”
"You mean that there is no other way into the valley than along the river?"
"Yes! Fiona's army held the entrances and exits on both sides of the valley. I've been to Taniguchi a few times, and their commanders seem to be very good at arranging their forces, and if they force their way on, they will be heavily wounded by trebuchets and ballistas on the river banks. ”
"Well, if that's the case, then we'll find a way to get in and attack inside and out. Serena, do you have a way to let me in?"
"This?" Serena said hesitantly, "There is a way, but this is too dangerous, I can't put you in danger!"
"Serena, I must go in! I must be with my people, so that I can gain their trust, and they will follow me in the rebellion!"
"Yoland, I'll come with you!" Marchem raised his hand.
"And me!" was Ivo's voice.
"Me!"
"Me!"
The heroes who had returned with Yolande raised their hands.
Serena was touched by their brotherhood. What is a brother? Only those who can go to the soup together and trust their lives with each other are called brothers.
There was no squeak in the Memphera.
"Well, there are a few big trucks out of the valley every day to gather food. The man who took the lead was Esquire, and it was through him that I got in touch with my brothers in the valley. Tomorrow I want him to find a way to bring you and your brothers in. ”
Meng Feila suddenly said: "Serena, when does the garrison usually escort Gold back to the city?"
"It's usually half a month. It should be almost in the next few days!" Serena touched her head and said, "I won't tell you the truth, we came out this time to rob them of their gold. ”
"We can do both things together. They had to send men to escort them, and if they learned that we were robbing the gold, they would have to send troops to help relieve Prince Yoland's pressure. ”
"Yes, that's a good idea!" Yolande looked at Monfila approvingly and said, "So do it, I'll start rioting as soon as I find out they're sending reinforcements from Taniguchi!"
The next day, several large carts came out of the valley, accompanied by a dozen or so dwarves. Serena had been waiting at the edge of the forest, and when she saw them coming, Serena hurried up to meet them.
Yoland: They stood by and watched as they whispered to each other. After a while, Serena came over with a dwarf and said, "Your Royal Highness, I have already told Esquil that he will cooperate with you. But once you're in, you'll have to enlist more people's support. ”
Yolande nodded. Esquill bowed and said, "Your Royal Highness, you and your friends must change into miners' clothes, as well as ...... And ......"
"Esquire, just say it!"
Eschella was covered in clothes, scars on his chest and back. He was embarrassed and said, "We have this on our faces and bodies! If you want to go in, I have to beat you up first, otherwise the guards will be suspicious......"
"Then beat it up!" said Yoland, smirking disapprovingly.
Eschael led five men and Yolande into the forest.
"Oops, your grandma's, I almost knocked out your teeth......"
"I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness ...... Prince"
"It's okay, it's okay...... I scolded me, you hit yours, don't worry about me!"
"Yes......"
"Oh, your sister, alas, well played, well played!"
......
Serena, Ivo, and Memphira laughed and cried as they heard the sounds coming from the forest.
When Yolande and the others came out, they all had blue noses and swollen faces, and their mouths were crooked. They had changed into the dirty, smelly clothes of the miners, no different from the dirty dwarven miners.
"We're leaving!" said Yoland and the others goodbye to Ivo, Memphira, and the others. He spat as he walked, and his mouth was full of blood. He couldn't help but mutter, "Grandma, Esquire, you are really ruthless!"
"You'll have to listen to me all the way until you reach the valley. Ace said guiltily: "If you successfully rescue us, you can beat me every day to relieve my anger in the future." ”
"I'm not going to beat you!" Euland patted Esquire on the shoulder, "On the contrary, I will thank you well!"
The group picked wild fruits in the forest, dug up the edible rhizomes of plants, and hunted a few rock sheep and elk in the forest, and then began to return to the Centaur Valley.
"Esquire, you have come out to gather food, are the jailers not afraid that you will escape?"
"If we run away, they'll kill a hundred of us!"
"Oh my God...... I'll kill them all!" Yolande said angrily.
At Taniguchi, the group was stopped by the jailers for questioning. Fortunately, they only counted how many people had returned, and did not check their identities, so they didn't care what the names of these dirty, smelly dwarves were.
"Esquire, what did you get back?" a jailer began to flip on the carriage.
"Phew, it's all pigs!" the jailer spat out.
"Hey, there are a few elk!" a few jailers climbed into another carriage and threw the elk out of it.
The hearts of Yolande and the others rose to their throats. Their equipment was hidden in that carriage!!, but Esquire hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brothers, you are good, you have to let us take a sip of soup!"
"Well, I'll leave you with one to satisfy your hunger!" the jailer jumped out of the carriageway, "Tomorrow you have to do more! Don't expect me to be in such a good mood every day!"
They entered the valley, but found not a single guard in sight. "They don't send people in, they just ask us for a bag of gold sand every day," Esquill explained. ”
"What if you don't pick so much?"
"If you don't pick so much, they will kill people too!"
"Sister, they're more ruthless than me!" said Yolande hatefully.
"Esquire, what did you get back today?" several stout dwarves gathered around.
Esquire seemed to be afraid of these men. He stammered, "We shot a few elk, but the guards snatched them, and only one remained." ”
"Here us!" the dwarves gathered around.
Yoland, Malkem, Kailin, and the others immediately stood by the carriage.
"This is Lao Tzu's beating, you can't rob it!" Youlande has never eaten fruit roots, he doesn't want to be a monkey, he would rather be hungry without meat.
"Yo-ho, it's new, right? Want to be beaten, don't you?" the dwarves began to roll up their sleeves.
Yolander has never been afraid of fighting, but today he was beaten by Esquil for no reason, and his heart was still on fire! He punched one of the dwarves in the face, so that he could see the stars in the sky during the day.
The boss made a move, where would Malkam and the others be idle?
To be honest, with their strength, a single punch can open a person's head. But they can't, that would reveal their heroism. They had to fight like ruffians, and even ride on them and punch them in the face.
Hundreds of dwarves gathered around, shouting loudly and excitedly. These dwarves fought the most in the entire valley, and almost everyone was bullied by them.
The dwarves managed to get up and staggered to their feet.
"Stop!" yulland shouted. One of the dwarves was still running away disobediently, when Malkam picked up a stone and smashed it on his short legs, immediately breaking his mouth and gnawing on the mud.
Yolande stepped on the elk, threw a leg of flesh at them, and said, "This is for you! If you dare to rob everyone's things in the future, I will beat you once I see you!"
