The thumb-thick rivets connect the two iron plates impermeable, but under the crystallization of natural life, they continue to collapse rapidly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Boom...... Boom...... "Boom" is like a melodious piece of light music, and the unique metallic sound does not seem out of place, but sublimates the piece to a new level.

The heavily armed tree man dismantled the steam chariot faster than Lu Bin expected, of course, the more important reason was that the internal operators were affected by the aftermath of the violent collision between the two sides just now, and the only one who could still stay awake at this time was the commander Rhonda Monig, but he didn't have anything to do.

The psychic warlock who kept in touch with the rear hit his head heavily on the base of the periscope, and he was lucky not to die on the spot, but unfortunately he was completely unconscious at this time, and he could no longer maintain the communication of the heart language.

Without these obstructive underground gnomes, the Fortress-level Treants dismantled much faster, violently stripping away the iron skin from the surface of the steel behemoth, followed by a forged chariot skeleton.

According to Lu Bin's instructions, it used a flexible way to spread the vines on its arms, twist the roof of the chariot, and then grab the underground gnomes inside one by one and carry them out.

When Lu Bin saw this scene, he nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay! The hostages are in hand, and the steel giant beast, one of the crystallization of machinery and engineering, has also been completely tamed by us." The next step is to follow the trajectory to find the main city of Svernebry, but fortunately I have a large army of beetles in my hands, and it is estimated that it will not be long before I bring us good news. ”

At this time, Olek Tyrese had already admired his friend "Rez", and after asking Lu Bin and getting permission, he immediately carried the Blitzkrieg and walked towards the steam chariot.

The tree man couldn't show up for too long, Lu Bin waited for the battle to settle down, and the dwarven warrior went and returned, so he sent it back to the "Elven Waste Capital Elondell" to rest.

The dwarven elder came to Lu Bin again, but now he had no confidence, and lowered his voice anxiously, hoping to ask for forgiveness from "Lord Rez".

"I didn't expect that the underground gnomes would take out the war machinery at the bottom of the box, and it was nothing to leave temporarily out of fear, and I was once panicked, but I never wavered in the slightest that I could achieve victory. The only thing that saddens me is that you've seen what I'm capable of, and you have no confidence that I'll be able to defeat this steel beast head-on. What do you do to change your position so that I can deliver trust, that's the most important thing right now. ”

Harding Brassbeard's face turned red instantly, and instead of slapping his chest hard and making unrealistic promises, he just clenched the shield and hammer in his hand, ready to repay the "legendary mage" with practical actions.

At the same time, the mummy guards, who had already followed the hollow stalactite pillar that had been blown open by the phosphorus fire bomb, went down into the city of Svernebri, and successfully discovered a small artificial cavern, which stored all kinds of weapons and armor, the only pity was that the size was a little smaller, and it should be a small equipment suitable for underground gnomes.

Later, the returning dwarven warriors, ordered by Hardin Copperbeard, to disperse and enter the Stoney Cavern to explore the other entrances, and as for the ramp that the steel behemoth had climbed out of earlier, he himself led people into it to inspect it, and found a rudimentary workshop, or rather a warehouse.

Oric Tyrese seemed to have figured out the structure of the steam chariot during this time, and soon lost interest and came to Lu Bin's side, looking at the busy figures of the dwarven warriors around him, and in the large wilderness in front of the sharp stone cave, he found several entrances and exits one after another, and suddenly the curiosity and interest of young people rose.

Lu Bin knew his strength and knew very well that ordinary traps, or machinery made by underground gnomes, would be difficult to cause harm to him, and immediately nodded and allowed him to move freely.

The information from all over the world was successively collected into Lu Bin's hands, but the biggest harvest was the "strong acid beetle" under his command, which not only quickly discovered the entrance to the secret passage, the trap door, and the trap, but also opened up a path that could only be passed by the beetle out of nothing.

Relying on extremely corrosive acid and a pair of large chela, and there were so many of them that ordinary traps could not trap them, and the underground gnomes had no targeted "insecticides", at least in half an hour, the first layer of defense closest to the ground in Svernebri City had all fallen.

Underground gnomes are not much different from their surface counterparts, they are not brave warriors, they are more skilled craftsmen, scholars, and other professions, and of course, there are also powerful professions such as thieves and wanderers, but their number is only a small minority of the total population.

At the same time, the esteemed illusionist Grim Belen, the heart of Svernebry, could no longer sit at home and busy with his experiments, and the advantage of being close to the surface became an unforgivable disadvantage.

He sealed himself and his family's cave, and placed his precious wealth properly, before he came to the round table where the "master" was qualified to attend.

The fall of Breton Rock by the Dark Elves has broken the royal blood of the underground gnomes, and the ruby in the crown has been covered with dust for many years, so now only the "masters" of each family can have a say in the affairs of Svernebry.

Fearing the loss of his property, Grim Belen was so anxious that he struck the wooden hammer and announced the convening of a wartime meeting without waiting for everyone to arrive, much to the displeasure of some of the masters, who were happy to see Grim Belen's jokes and ignored his unconventional.

Grim Belen's first issue was to save his compatriots from the hands of the enemy, as well as the antique steam chariot.

"I don't know who had the bad idea to despise the human spellcasters who killed two elite armies in Paradium one after another, captured the slaves who tended to the farmland, and turned them into warriors on the spot. Fortunately, at least five clansmen from famous families fell into the hands of the other party, and they also lost a precious steam chariot. ”

In the Council of the Twin Rings, many of the masters either bowed their heads and pretended to be listening, or they exchanged words and ears, oblivious to Grim Belen's accusations.

The proximity to the city of Palladian has at least added an extra layer of security to the underground gnomes, but it is an indisputable fact that close allies have secretly looted a large amount of wealth from Svernebri by artificially inflating and underselling prices, and has caused the displeasure of many masters.

Looking at Grim Belen's joke now, it is nothing more than that he is very close to a certain core figure of the Mage Council, and he has gained a lot of benefits from it, and the other masters have no channel but envy and jealousy.

A neutral master, rubbing the ruby ring on his left index finger, unleashed an apparition of the arcane map of Svernebri, putting the current battle situation in front of everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our compatriots were not killed, but taken hostage. The steam chariots made of steel also remain largely intact, at least for a short time, and the other side will not have time to crack the secret of one of our technological crystals. Next, I think everyone should keep their sanity and use a clear mind to study each other's strategies and real goals. ”

Grim Belen's eyes lit up when he saw this, he found that the cave where his family was located was still a long way from being captured, and the opponent's advance was only two ways at most, and the other discovered passage entrances, which were in charge of the dwarven warriors, were all struggling to explore.

"The defensive line composed of the hidden caves, weapons warehouses, traps, and secret doors on the first floor has been lost, but these losses are only a small part of the losses to us, and the trade carried out every ten days has exported more weapons and equipment than this. Of course, what is more important is the real purpose of the other party. Based on the information I have so far, I have asked people to arrange for the human who has broken through the fastest to guide them to the metal workshop. ”

The metal workshop, one of the absolutely very important areas for the underground gnomes, or for the city of Svernebri, is filled with iron ingots, steel blocks, semi-finished mechanical devices, and of course, the more important dwarven craftsmen.

At the same time, Orrick Tyrese, armed with a blitzkrieg hammer, advanced almost unscathed, breaking the traps along the way in a very violent way, following the deliberate tail of the underground gnomes into a naturally formed, artificially repaired cavern, or a hot construction site.

It was full of familiar dwarves, and he was amazed that these "slaves" were not wearing shackles that restricted their personal freedom, much to the confusion of Oric Tyrese.

There were no hideous overseers nearby, no mechanical weapons worthy of a battle, only a group of freemen who were busy with their work, just a few glances at his arrival.

"What's going on? What the hell is going on?"

Confused by the reality in front of him, Orik Tyrese immediately remembered his friend "Rez" outside, and sent a signal in a hurry.

Lu Bin also discovered this strange workshop through the strong acid beetle, the dwarves were not used as slave laborers, but "residents" with a certain amount of freedom!

Through the Book of Traveling Mages, Lu Bin had roughly figured out the identities of these dwarves, and then was surprised to find that the underground gnomes, a group of cunning and skilled craftsmen, complemented each other with the dwarves who lacked heart, and turned out to be a rare and perfect match.

The attack on Svernebry City immediately stopped, and Lu Bin felt that judging from the treatment of these dwarves, he could have a good talk with the underground gnomes behind the scenes.

At the same time, at the Twin Ring Round Table in the heart of Swelnebri City, the masters present quickly learned of the goodwill unleashed by the other party, and knew the true purpose of the human spellcaster.
