Chapter 182: Joining forces
As a member of the Swelnebri City Masters Association, Grim Belen is also a high-ranking member of the Seven Cities Alliance, with a secret and unique method of contact, even if he drives underground lizards to roam in the darkness of his fingers, he is also intercepting a high-spirited armed caravan ready to make a fortune on the way to New Breton Rock City.

However, the undead creatures and undead lizard mounts under Lu Bin's command caused the unhappiness of some caravan members with not so wonderful memories, and when these people heard the underground dwarf master introduce that "Lord Rez" was the "city lord" of New Breton Rock City, the crowd was like a drop of cold water falling into the boiling hot oil, and the fryer.
From the earth's extraordinary human spellcaster, backed by the mountain dwarves, Grim Belen intentionally or unintentionally revealed the information, so that the red-eyed people in the armed caravan carefully put away their minions, secretly weighing the consequences of offending "Lord Rez".
Of course, there will definitely be fools who do not believe in evil, or who want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to subdue the "city lord" who must be just a false title on his head, and a smart person who pre-sells the goods of the caravan at a high price.
Lu Bin is not surprised by this, his endless greed for people's hearts has always been the worst angle to figure out the bottom line. Without saying a word, he took out two sunshine mushrooms from the "Elven Wasteland Elondell", causing them to instantly release the reserve light source, and the sudden rise of the bright light was like a furious sea tide, drowning everyone in a sea of light like the sun.
Born and raised in Si and adapted to the unique environment of the dark region, the eyes of these dungeon natives could no longer see the slightly brighter natural light, and they were immediately injured on the spot, except for Master Grim Belen, who was reminded in advance and closed his eyes in time to avoid injury, everyone else couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Fortunately, the strong light comparable to the sun came and went faster, and the huge underground passage quickly returned to its previous quiet darkness, but the peaceful atmosphere was gone, and the caravan members close to "Lord Rez" were even more tense, and couldn't help but retreat, as if staying by the side of a dragon-like beast.
Everyone was shocked by the sudden scene just now, especially the innocent caravan members who were implicated, and the stinging of their eyes was secondary, mainly because of the "city lord" of New Breton Rock City, who was somewhat dissatisfied with his temper that broke out at the slightest disagreement.
It's a pity that after a painful experience, no one dares to question the strength of "Lord Rez", after all, the strong light spell just now has no signs at all, and if it happens again, no one is sure that it will be able to avoid it.
Even if a warlock casts a spell engraved in the bloodline, there is a slight energy fluctuation, especially if the spellbreaker who permanently solidifies the "Detection Secret Method", he can detect and interpret the characteristics of the spell in advance, and make targeted prevention, and even interrupt the casting process in the middle. As for the Tear Scroll casting, the special gem spell, and the Arcane Sequencer, there is also a "Spell Aura" that can be captured in advance.
However, the bright light spell of "Lord Rez" has no warning at all, which is a bit beyond the scope of common sense, otherwise not everyone will be hit.
People of great fame usually have the strength to match, and since they can be recognized by the joint council of masters of Svernebrie City as the "city lord" of New Bretton Rock City, although they are a little shocked by the identity of outsiders on the surface, after this lesson of insignificance, the members of this armed caravan have all admitted this fact.
Lu Bin knew that many people were unconvinced, "But what does this matter to me? We are working together to save the shield dwarves who were sniped by the dark elves and suffered heavy losses and had to form a formation to protect themselves, and they are also members of the Seven Cities Alliance, so I am afraid that there is still a tacit understanding." If your allies don't come to the rescue, who will lend a helping hand the next time you're besieged? Do you think I'm right?"
After "Lord Rez" took out the strange mushroom that emitted a soft light, all the people in this armed caravan were reflexively frightened by the painful experience not long ago, and nodded their heads again and again.
Lu Bin opened the book of the Brigade Mage, which showed that more than a hundred neutral soldiers had been recruited in the "wilderness" with both soft and hard methods, and the hostile light spots belonging to the dark elves that followed were rapidly dispersing.
He smiled disappretently, led the team to tidy up a bit, and turned around and walked backwards. It didn't take long for them to encounter another caravan from one of the dungeons of the Seven Cities Alliance.
Fearing that "Lord Reiz" would be provoked to teach them a lesson, Master Grim Belen immediately stepped out of the group and revealed his identity, his title and face finally came in handy. Talking to the person in charge of the other party about the shield dwarf ally being sniped by the dark elves and sending out a request for help, I didn't think too much about it, and the matter of joining forces was done.
Lu Bin was satisfied to see the snowballing growth of this rescue team, when the four armed caravans gathered together one after another, a legion of nearly five hundred people, and sufficient material reserves, frightened the dark elves who were ready to surround the reinforcements, and could only watch the target converge.
The shield dwarves, who had suffered heavy losses from sniping, were finally rescued, and Lu Bin counted the number of people through the Book of Brigade Mages, and found that as long as the wounded were not severely injured and fell to the ground, they would stick to their posts after simply wrapping their wounds.
In other words, if it weren't for the tenacity of the shield dwarves who resisted stubbornly to the end, the dark elves would have eaten this armed caravan in one bite, and they would not have been forced to use the tactics of encircling the point to send reinforcements, but Lu Bin's idea was to combine a plate of loose sand into one, snowballing and growing, and finally turning into an avalanche that crushed everything.
"Being able to survive in the dark region, there is really no false ingredient in it. Even though the underground gnomes were crippled and forced to leave their homeland, they recuperated for many years after receiving the support of their allies, and still planned to rebuild their homeland. I seem to be underestimating them!"
In front of the united Seven Cities Alliance, the dark elves who divided their troops everywhere suddenly found that the hard bones that were difficult to gnaw had turned into hedgehogs with spiny skin and hard needles, and it was difficult to bite the tongue anymore. In desperation, they could only watch as a large number of people and supplies entered the "Land of Ruins", filling this new and increasingly prosperous dungeon.
The huge gap in the city wall, which could still be used earlier, has been repaired and renewed after more than ten hours of continuous struggle by dwarven craftsmen and underground gnomes, and the city gate forged with fine iron has also been carefully repaired to restore the original appearance of the twine-rope traction winch for livestock.
The strength of the dark elves is very strong, but the internal battles between the various families are very fierce, and they are planning conspiracies anytime and anywhere, and they may be able to work together when they fight externally, but the high-powered dark elf city lord has never been able to unite, so that there is room for the Seven Cities Alliance.
However, the news of the rebuilding of New Breton Rock City has been learned by the rulers of the Dark Elf Cities in the middle of the dark region over time, and there are many city lords who want to curb this momentum, but unfortunately no one wants to take the lead.
Even the city of Meinsobela, where the Spider Goddess is the most favored, due to the recent series of brain-eating incidents, the spearhead is directly aimed at the heart snatchers at the bottom of the dark region, and the small family with weak power is shocked three times a day, and the forces scattered everywhere have been fully contracted, like clenched fists, ready to attack at any time to punish enemies who dare to offend this god-favored city.
Without enough city lords to take the lead, punish the arrogance of the Seven Cities Alliance, capture New Bretton Rock City, and pick this increasingly ripe and fat fruit, it is a bit like a wild horse running wild in the wilderness.
Perhaps due to the chaotic nature of the Dark Elves, who are accustomed to using intrigue and rebellion to pave the way for power to ascend to power, the endless assassination is always the favorite trick of the powerful before fighting head-on.
Unfortunately, the Dark Elf Assassins from various dungeons, once they enter New Breton Rock City, are like water droplets melting into a river, silently disappearing into the dazzling and mysterious places of light and light.
All of this depends on Lu Bin, who owns the Book of Traveling Mages, secretly doing bad things behind the scenes, and at the same time, the collection of the Buried Bones has become richer and richer, until the loss of elite assassins is so great that the city lord of the dark elves feels a little painful, and the evil guest who has sent him to the door to find the dead does not stop the meaningless visit.
Beneath the calm atmosphere of the dark region, the undercurrent is turbulent and agitated, knowing that the first dungeon to knock on New Breton Rock City will definitely hit the ground and break the blood, but unfortunately no one is willing to take a fire for others.
Skirmishes and harassments erupted from time to time, even though there were no large-scale siege plans and the parties were locked in a period of bitter confrontation, and New Breton Rock was fortunate to have survived the most difficult years.
In order to rebuild the dungeon, Lu Bin owed a huge debt in the name of the "city lord", and now he has to start paying the debt, and after the ore veins outside the city are cleared of siltation, a special mining team is responsible for excavating and collecting high-quality ore.
More valuable gem mines were also included, but Lu Bin was the master of auctioning off mining rights for three to five years at a high price, as a way to pay off debts, attracting many senior miners from the Seven Cities Alliance to settle and live.
