Chapter 51: Alliance, Orcs and Grey Dwarves Alliance

For the Crypt Elf race, it was Celine who ultimately gave the answer to where they came from. During her years as a caretaker in the Great Library of the College of Padya, Celine had read many ancient scrolls and recalled a record in an ancient tale that, to everyone's surprise, the Crypt Elves were actually related to the Elves.

Legends go back a long way, even tens of thousands of years. The elves on land are very prosperous, and they are not far behind even the beasts. At that time, a talented elven prince appeared, with great prestige, and was almost the best choice for the next elven king. And the elven prince himself is extremely arrogant, and he thinks that no one can shake his position. But the queen of the elves...... That is, the mother of the elven prince gave birth to a second child, that is, the little prince. The youngest child's talent easily surpassed that of his elder brother, the eldest prince, and when he was dozens of years old, he shook the entire elven race, and finally made the eldest prince feel a real threat.

The throne of the elves has always been inherited by the best princes, and for elves with long lives, age is not the main consideration. If it goes on like this, when the old elf king abdicates, there will be no suspense for the little prince to inherit the throne.

The eldest prince was filled with anger and jealousy, and no one supported him anymore, which made his heart more and more dark and depraved. He thirsted for power, and finally did evil deeds, it is said that he dived into the deepest underground, encountered some evil being, received guidance, and returned to the earth, - he will be the guardian of his own elven tribe...... The Tree of Life was cut down, draining all of its power, and then corrupting his tribesmen with the power he had defiled, leaving all the fallen elves at his disposal.

The eldest prince hypocritically invited his younger brother and the younger prince to his tribe. The little prince and all the elven elders accepted the invitation, undoubting him. It was in his tribe that the guests drank the poisoned wine prepared by the eldest prince, and by the time they discovered the conspiracy, it was already too late. All of them were brutally killed, and their souls were all imprisoned by the Great Prince, dedicated to the evil existence in the darkness. Then the eldest prince led his own fallen elves to attack the elven king's palace, wanting to seize the rights of the elven clan.

Caught off guard, the elves suffered heavy losses. Many trees of life were cut down and killed, countless tribes were destroyed, and at the most critical time, the elves had to turn to the orcs who had a good relationship at the time. The orcs sent troops to help, and the shaman high priest used the art of purification to dispel the dark power of the evil Great Prince. Finally defeated the Fallen Elves. At this time, the Great Prince was completely corrupted by the darkness, and his appearance and that of the fallen elves changed dramatically, becoming short, ugly, filthy, and filthy, and the elves no longer identified with these people, calling them [elves]. The Elven King and the Shaman High Priest worked together to slay the Great Prince, and also cut off the ambition of an evil being in the dark underground. The remnants of the Great Prince's men cursed angrily and had to retreat into the darkness. All the caves were sealed with 10,000 pounds of boulders, and the dwarves were invited to dig and collapse the high mountain leading to the underground cave entrance, completely blocking the reappearance of the dark power.

That was when the catastrophe began. The elves gradually declined, and as a condition of repaying the orcs, they gave the orcs all the trunks of the dead tree of life. Some of the orc shamans cut off the core of the Tree of Life to create totem poles, which eventually formed the Great Star Totem Circle. The elves were completely suppressed, and the era of their own family dominating the continent also began!

Fate is truly awesome. In the past, it was the dwarves who helped the elves seal the crypt elves, and now it is the descendants of the dwarves who have inadvertently opened the door to these evil creatures. After listening to Celine's story. Everyone was worried. After so many years, what kind of power do the goblins under the crypt have? No one knew that it would undoubtedly be a disaster if they were to return to the mainland. ...

"Patriarch Saadin, you have been at war with the Crypt Elves for several years, so you should know something about their powers, can you tell me?" Baroque asked.

"They don't have much power...... At least in the past few years, we haven't encountered particularly powerful goblins, they are just numerous, like ants and fierce to death. Saadin's words were a little helpless, the gray dwarf clan has never exceeded 20,000 people for so many years, and there are at least more than 100,000 crypt goblins that have appeared, and as for those who have not crawled out of the dark cave, I don't know how many. The gray dwarves lost more than half of their people, and were completely killed alive by the crypt elves.

"Back then, the powerful elves were able to decline, and the crypt goblins must have more than these abilities. Maybe they still have some scruples, or maybe the power of the orc shaman to seal them back then is still working, so that the powerful power of the goblins cannot break out of the dark cavern. But we don't have any time to waste, we must go back to the cave you dug and seal it up again. "Baroque has a very bad premonition, if the powerful power of the goblins rushes out, even if it will eventually be driven and defeated by the forces on the continent, but before that, the orcs of the northern tundra closest to this place will undoubtedly suffer first. Humans are already enough for orcs to have a headache, and if they are attacked by the crypt goblins again, it will undoubtedly make matters worse.

"There are so many Crypt Elves that they've taken over almost all of our underground halls. We've been backing down over the years, and the cavern where we found them was so far away that we had to cross three underground halls, which were the elves' strongholds, and we couldn't afford to attack them. Saadin sighed and said, all the gray dwarves were a little depressed.

"We'll help you. Baroque immediately said: "I will lead all the warriors of the Blue Wolf Tribe to fight side by side with the gray dwarves, and I must block that cave no matter what." With my shamanic hunch, if the cave is not sealed as soon as possible, it is likely that an even greater disaster will befall you. ”

This is the home of the gray dwarves, and since even the orc brothers they have just met are willing to help in the battle, the gray dwarves have no reason to fear, and they quickly become more motivated. There was no time to waste, Baroque asked all the centurions to rush back to the tribe at once to gather soldiers, and Saadin also ordered his son Zayed to gather all the gray dwarves who could fight, and he himself took out a huge map and began to discuss the details of the attack with Baroque and others.

On the map made of unknown animal skins, the densely drawn schematic diagram of the underground tunnel hall made the Baroque a little dizzy. It's so huge, thousands of years of excavation, the hinterland of the surrounding several tall mountain peaks has been completely hollowed out, as if dozens of cobwebs are stacked together and dazzling, if it weren't for the indigenous gray dwarves, anyone else would get lost if they entered. Baroque couldn't help but ask, "How big is your underground home, and what do you eat if you haven't come to land for thousands of years?"

"Hehe, there are many natural caves with mushrooms growing in the underground, and there are abundant fish in the underground rivers, we gray dwarves are not picky about what they eat, the only regret is that there are no barley and other crops, and we can't make ale. Although our ancestors left us a way to make ale, we never had the opportunity to try it. I didn't expect the taste of the ale to be so intoxicating!" Old Sa Adin drank all the ale that Baroque had taken out, because it was too little, even he could only drink one glass. "Our ancestors have been digging underground caverns since the beginning of time, and we gray dwarves have no particular goal, and we are completely digging along the veins we have found. When the mineral deposits of a large mountain are exhausted, they will gradually be abandoned, and then other mountains with mineral deposits will be selected to continue mining. For so many years, even I didn't know how big the Underground Home was. But if all the Manchus were to live, it would be easy to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. ”...

The orcs couldn't help but be amazed, this is really a huge project. The stout dwarf Platon was a little smug and interjected, "The farthest underground hall is in the westernmost mountain range, and it has penetrated the entire Kundu Maya Mountains. ”

Penetrating the Kundu Maya Mountains, the Baroque spirit froze, and immediately found that Susan's eyes were also shining, looking at herself.

The Kundu Maya Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles from north to south, with towering peaks that are difficult for birds to cross, with the tundra to the east and the human country to the west. When they first migrated from Paddington, the Baroque chose the only flat mountain passes to cross, and had to walk several times the distance. And if you can directly penetrate the mountains, the distance of nearly 10,000 miles will be greatly shortened to hundreds of miles. According to the map of the mainland, the country on the other side of the mountain range is the Duchy of Hanseas, which Susan never forgets, and if she can cross through the mountains, she will face the hinterland of the Duchy of Hansea, which is completely undefended, and if she is lucky, she can even capture the capital of the Grand Duke of Hanseasa before he can call in his troops to come back.

Signal to Susan to be patient. Baroque looked at the underground map and asked the gray dwarf, and then compared it with a rudimentary map of the continent in his hand, and finally decided...... From here, it actually penetrated the Kundu Mayan Mountains, and if the peak on the opposite side was dug up, it could go straight from the mountain to the hinterland of the Hanseatic Principality unimpeded. Baroque can't help but praise the spirit of the ancestors, not just to avenge Susan, his strategic intentions can finally unfold!

The Crypt Elves must be defeated, and now it's not just about helping the Grey Dwarves, it's about growing their own forces. Baroque put a great deal of effort into negotiating with the Grey Dwarves about the route of attack, and before all the tribal warriors arrived, a perfect result was finally reached. It was already dark, but neither Baroque nor Saadin was ready to waste time, they were going to raid overnight.

The alliance of orcs and gray dwarves was formed, except for the wolf cavalry team left behind in the tribal settlement, the other eight hundred-man teams were all gathered, and Zayed also gathered all the 1,300 gray dwarf warriors who could fight. The commander of the Allied forces was Saadin the Elder, but it was the Baroque who made the plan for the raid, and the actual commander was naturally the Baroque. Neither orcs nor grey dwarves have any objection -- the legend left by the ancestors that when the orcs were strong, all the commanders and commanders were wise shamans, and they were born with this talent.
