Chapter 55: Purging and Harvesting

Baroque and Platonian temporarily sealed off the hall where the Dark Cavern was located, and then immediately returned to support the rest of the coalition. However, when they returned, the main battle there was over, and Saadin and Muru were each sending squads of soldiers to hunt down the scattered crypt elves.

The news of the success of their operation in the Baroque did not need to be publicized, and the orcs and gray dwarves outside had already guessed it. Because they were fighting against the almost endless goblin attacks, it was the most critical, almost the time when the defense line collapsed, the crypt goblins seemed to have encountered the most terrible thing, they became panicked and had no will to fight, and they scattered in all directions, and the so-called crisis collapsed in an instant. What can explain this is undoubtedly only the Baroque who destroyed the lair of the crypt elves, leaving them with no way out, so they lost their courage to escape.

The combined forces of the gray dwarves and orcs also paid a sufficient price, the Crypt Elves' Adamantite Spears were so lethal that even if their strength was weak, they could easily penetrate the chain mail, and the iron-covered wooden shields were of limited use. More than two hundred gray dwarves, and more than thirty orc warriors were killed in battle. Both old Saadin and Baroque were so distressed that the joy of completely sealing the dark cave was canceled.

The two of them quickly stopped their grief, because now was not the time to be sad. There were at least nearly 10,000 of the Crypt Elves left, and they scattered and fled into the underground tunnels. It is necessary to pursue and kill as much as possible while they have not fled far, otherwise let them escape too far and hide in other deep tunnels, which will make the home of the gray dwarves full of hidden dangers. No one wants to be scared in their own home...... Worry about an ugly goblin jumping out from behind you at any moment to bite your neck.

Twenty gray dwarf warriors and ten orcs formed squads, and nearly twenty such squads were scattered out to pursue the crypt elves. Both Saadin and Baroque gave orders not to live and to kill them all. The anger that was suppressed and beaten by the crypt goblins in the past should be vented well today, the morale of the gray dwarves is bursting, and there are reliable orc brothers by their side, they are familiar with entering the various tunnels, chasing and killing the scattered crypt goblins ......!

Now it's time to celebrate, and there is no doubt that this collaborative victory has deepened the friendship and alliance between the Blue Wolf Tribe and the Grey Dwarf. Both the Baroque and the old Saadin made it clear. It is necessary to make the alliance stronger and inseparable like brothers. Those details will have time to talk about later, and now it is time to celebrate. The Baroques brought large numbers of cattle and sheep from the tribal settlements and slaughtered them at the foot of the rocky hills. Cut down wood and set up a campfire for barbecue. While the orcs and grey dwarves were busy preparing a feast together, Baroque and a few of his trusted subordinates chose a secluded place with some of the grey dwarves' most important leaders to discuss the future.

No doubt. The gray dwarves have reappeared on land for thousands of years, so there is no reason for them to close themselves into the belly of the mountain again. The issues that come with it are crucial and urgent. That's the grey dwarves and their former cousins...... How the relationship between the dwarves should be handled.

Old Saadin gave Baroque a very crisp reply: "No way, we will never have a day when we and the dwarves will be repaired." This is a matter of philosophy, and it involves our knowledge and understanding of the art of blacksmithing. The dwarves of the earth have gone astray, and they no longer deserve to be called the sons of the spirits of the mountains. One by one, the gray dwarves became agitated, and even though they had never seen a dwarf on land, they could not stop their hatred and disgust.

Baroque asks his doubts...... Just because of the deviation of the forging problem, there is a racial split. This is a little strange to the orcs. You must know that the orcs are divided into many clans, and there are countless tribes large and small. But while there are some black sheep, no tribe has ever wanted to break away from the orc race.

"The descendants of the spirit of the mountain use the hammer and felt in their hands to forge the finest ornaments and the sharpest and strongest weapons in the world, which is the eternal ancestral motto of the dwarven people. But thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the dwarves on the land betrayed this teaching, and they sought the help of external forces, neglecting their skills and using magic crystal cores to create so-called magical items. While the magical weapons they created became more powerful, the ornaments became more brilliant and beautiful. But it is all impetuous vanity, which completely conceals the connotation of the skill. Pradon waved his arms excitedly. If a land dwarf appeared in front of him, he would definitely not be able to resist going up and fighting.

Baroque does not see any anger in this, the pursuit of perfection and power is different, each with its own ideas and choices. It can only be said that the temperament of the dwarves is so paranoid that it borders on a distorted personality.

He somewhat understood, or maybe this was a matter of ideology? Just like before the establishment of the Red Soviet Union on the earth, the so-called Bolsheviks and Mensheviks and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on, all kinds of chaotic ideological disputes were accompanied by extremely bloody wars and annihilation. Dwarves are creatures that have also taken that pathetic path.

But none of this had anything to do with Baroque, and he wasn't stupid enough to get involved with the idea of the gray dwarves. And the greater the contradiction between the gray dwarf and the land dwarf, the greater the benefit to him. Now this situation is the most favorable.

They have reached a consensus on an offensive and defensive alliance, and will soon sign a serious, rule-binding alliance. Of course, this kind of sacred covenant cannot be hasty, and it needs to be done on a suitable day and after a solemn ceremony. However, there are a few points that need to be confirmed in advance.

First of all, even if the [Gray Dwarves] come to land, they must keep it strictly secret, and try not to let the dwarves know about it. With the stubborn temperament of the dwarves, in case they lead a large army to crusade, the Baroque blue wolf tribe will not be able to stop the powerful land dwarf race.

Of course, we must also be wary of humans, after all, humans and dwarves have a close relationship, and if a human knows, it means that dwarves will not be far away from learning the news. The Baroque will make a strict order in the Blue Wolf tribe that no one is allowed to reveal any information about the Grey Dwarves. And he immediately proposed to relocate the colony of the Blue Wolf tribe to the Kundu Maya Mountains, just to find a suitable location around the rocky hills of the gray dwarves. This will not only deepen the communication between the two races, but also serve as a shield for the gray dwarf clan.

The Grey Dwarves are known as the Children of the Mountain, and even when they come to land, most of the time they still live in caves and tunnels in the belly of the mountain. It is in their interests to get closer to the blue wolf tribe. Old Saadin exchanged views with several of the grey dwarf leaders, and soon gave Baroque a satisfactory answer. Finally, we have to talk about the complementary advantages of the two ethnic groups!

There is no doubt that the gray dwarves are a forged people by nature, and they produce little to no food themselves. If it weren't for the mushrooms growing in some caves in the belly of the mountain, and the fish from the underground rivers, they would have gone hungry. Orcs are very industrious, they herd livestock, and can even grow some simple crops, which can feed themselves well. The Baroque proposed to exchange food for weapons, which of course was a long-term plan. After all, out of gratitude to the blue wolf tribe, the gray dwarves in front of them have made a promise to open several weapon storage rooms to provide the best weapons and equipment for all their nearly a thousand orc warriors. For a short time weapons and armor were no longer a problem.

The gray dwarves were very straightforward, they didn't think too much about it, the proposal was exactly what they wanted, and an agreement was quickly reached. It was only later one night, when Baroque and Celine Susan were making out about these things, that Susan uncovered Baroque's ruse: "You built the tribal settlement on the outskirts of the hill of the Grey Dwarf Cave, saying that you were protecting them, but in fact it was to keep it a secret. And if the blue wolf tribe provides food in exchange for the sophisticated weapons of the gray dwarves, then they are equivalent to a group of craftsmen you raise, tsk, I really doubt what kind of soul is hidden in the brain of this orc of yours!"

The successful conclusion of the negotiations has greatly benefited both parties emotionally and profitably, and their relationship has become even closer. At this time, Baroque also put his mind at ease, even if the Beast Shaman Elders knew the news of the Gray Dwarves, he was not worried that the Gray Dwarves would be taken away by the [Shaman Elders]--the Gray Dwarves were notoriously stubborn, they recognized a friend, and they would never betray. Of course, all this Baroque has a clear conscience, because even if he has some ideas of his own, they are also exchanged for sincerity and action. ..................

In the following ten days, the warriors who pursued the crypt goblins returned one after another, and the results were fruitful. The Grey Dwarves are familiar with the underground tunnels and can easily find the elves hiding in their hidden places, and the cleanup is nearing completion.

Baroque did not forget his most urgent matter, and he secretly gave three phantom eggs of Gesar Pangolin to Muru, Lorn Khan and Tulayan, so that the three of them could not sleep for a few days of excitement............ I always saw the three of Angray fighting with the Flamingo Beast Armor, and their eyes were red, and now they finally have their own Beast Armor!

After all, Baroque is a little worried, what came out of the dark cave, who knows if there is any hidden danger in this beast egg? After using the purple electric power of the soul sea to catalyze the pangolin phantom beast eggs and let them enter the imminent hatching period, they stopped temporarily. He needs to let the three of Mu Lu raise the three phantom beast eggs for a few days, and if there is something wrong, the clues will be revealed in these days. If not, then help the three of Mu Lu break through the bloodline barrier and fuse the phantom beast before it's too late.

The Grey Dwarves are busy transforming the rocky hill into a rocky castle. The Blue Wolf Tribe has finally entered a quiet period, and there is still more than a month to go before winter passes, and the early spring period is the most dangerous. Humans can launch an invasion at any time, and the Baroque will lead the warriors of the clan and other orc tribes to form a coalition to resist, but they will not be able to protect the tribe in real time. So he told his people to store as much food as they could, and then migrate to the foot of the Kundu Maya Mountains as soon as possible. In this way, even if the humans rush over, the people can hide in the gray dwarf's pit -- the cunning Baroque has already made up the idea of this cunning rabbit hole! )
