Dwarven War (6)

The civil war of the dwarves is at a fever pitch. The fact that the Hopo's army, which had been doing well, suddenly found themselves in a difficult situation this afternoon, not that the rebels had become brave, but that their commanders had become cunning.

The men and horses on both sides are caught in a tug-of-war between you and me, often Hoplo's army is high-spirited, and when it sees the enemy, it rushes desperately, but the people on the Mahal side are like springs, you attack, I fight you twice and then retreat; if you retreat, I immediately chase and fight, and even look for an opportunity to take advantage of a small advantage.

After such a repetition, the soldiers in the Hopolo army were so angry that the roots of their teeth itched, but they had no way at all, they obviously had all the strength, but they had nowhere to exert it, which was really depressing. The only thing that can make them happy now is that Noah's Mountain is still being eaten away by them little by little, but at a slower speed.

"Lord Dongfang, what should we do now?" Mahal watched the development of the war situation nervously, pinning all his hopes on Mu Li.

"Keep back, don't fight. Mu Li still kept the same order, and his answer was extremely easy.

Mahal's clothes were soaked with sweat.

But the battle ahead took a major turn under this unchanging order.

When the Mahal army threw away their armor and fled again, the commander of the Hopolo army did not hesitate to order the pursuit, because the anxious waiting and the unreasonable cunning of the enemy army had made them extremely angry, and they needed a chance to vent, that is, now, never wait, they must catch up with these bastards, and teach them a good lesson, it is this impatience that is almost forced out, so that Hopolo and they are almost wiped out.

When they ran after Mahal's army, they didn't notice any danger at all, and fell defenselessly into the trap that Quinton had dug before— When the soldiers who rushed to the front reacted that they had fallen into the trap, the people behind also fell, and the soldiers behind them collided with everyone in front because they were chasing too quickly and could not control their steps, and in the blink of an eye, in the huge chaos of pushing forward and squeezing, nearly two-thirds of the soldiers involved in the pursuit fell, and the people who fell behind could also climb up by stepping on the shoulders of the people who fell first, but as soon as they raised their heads, the Mahal army, which had been lying in ambush around for a long time, had already pointed their heads at their heads with bows and arrows, and whoever tried to come up would be shot mercilessly, or even killed。

It was no better if they didn't fall into the trap, and when they turned around and wanted to flee back, Mu Li happened to lead someone behind them, and with a wave of her right hand, the carefully selected dwarf warriors behind her swarmed up, and the outcome of the war changed rapidly, and in the face of sudden defeat, this group of dwarves had to lay down their weapons no matter how stubborn they were.

Hoplow kept pacing in the room, he couldn't figure out how they had the advantage to defeat so badly at once, he couldn't accept it, so he ordered all the combat troops to be dispatched to capture Mount Noah before dawn tomorrow, he didn't believe that the rebels could withstand the overwhelming attack of the dwarven army.

The movement of the Hoplo army quickly turned into intelligence and was placed in front of Mu Li, who looked at it and couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.

Obviously they are all of the same race, and they were still living in the same residential area a few days ago, how can they become such a situation of fighting each other because of speculation without any evidence? Unless it is Xia Feng or his own command, it must be a bloody and cruel ending, as if there is really some deep hatred between each other, as for it?

Meiyin, who had just come back to her life, happened to see her like this: "Miss?"

"Hmm!" Mu Li raised his head and temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart, "You came back just in time, go and rest first, and then tell me the results of your investigation later." ”

"Yes!" Miin agreed, but did not leave.

"Ron, let the prepared civilians evacuate the dwarven settlement immediately, and there are friends from the Mountain Demon Clan outside to pick you up. ”

"Yes......" Although he was confused and unhappy about the retreat, after seeing Mu Li's ability to change the form of war in an instant, Ron still had to admire.

"Let all the troops involved in the battle be withdrawn, and the prisoners will be sent back as usual, and by the way tell them that it is better to withdraw from here as well. ”

"Uh...... Yes!" I couldn't figure out what she was going to do.

————

From the intermittent words of the ghost slave, Xia Feng knew the history of this labyrinth, which was designed and built by the dwarven ancestor Tubien a long time ago, and the main role was to avoid foreign invasions and provide the dwarves with a final place to live in the war, and he did not know who the enemy was.

Xia Feng put his hand on the chest of the ghost slave, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, Ima's curiosity came over, this little guy is quite capable, he has known him for less than half a day, and he has already made Xia Feng show a shocked look several times, you must know that this is extremely rare.

"The age of the ghost slave is at least five hundred years old!"

"What?" Xia Feng's words made Ima, who was originally sitting there, jump in shock, "Impossible, you...... How do you know?"

Xia Feng sat there cross-legged, holding his chin in one hand, chuckling and looking at him: "What, don't you believe me now?"

"Uh...... No, it's ...... "How is it possible, five hundred years, what kind of concept is that?" "Are you sure?"

Well, they were indeed skeptical, even if it was Xia Feng who said this.

"Hahaha...... Xia Feng laughed and nodded, "Very good, it's not that stupid that much." ”

"Master!" was still in the mood to joke.

"I'm not kidding, it's just that you're very suspicious, because even I don't believe in it. ”

"So...... It's really five hundred...... years?" Ima held out three fingers and reconfirmed.

Xia Feng nodded, and in reply, a loud sound of a heavy object falling to the ground immediately sounded beside him, and Irma fell back to the ground.

"That's the biggest joke, isn't it? Who can live that long?"

The longest-lived human he knows seems to be the Fajin Magnolia senior of the World Physicians Alliance, and he is said to be more than 300 years old.

In this world, in addition to angels who have eternal life, human beings may be the most fragile existence, other races can reach the age of two or three hundred years at will, and the life span of the vast majority of human beings is only seventy or eighty years old, more than 100 years old is rare, the real longevity is not ordinary people, and immortality has always been the ultimate goal pursued by human beings.

However, there is one thing that is very magical, although human beings have a short lifespan, they are the most powerful rulers in this world except for angels, and they have an absolute advantage in numbers. The rate of progress of human civilization often increases exponentially, leaving other races in the dust.

Probably because the speed of replacement is fast enough!

"Certainly not human. Xia Feng smiled, "He's a half-orc, but it's obviously also an ancestor." ”

"The Orc Continent is tens of thousands of kilometers away from here!"

No wonder there is a pair of antlers on the head.

"Maybe they lived here in the first place, maybe in 500 years, anything could happen. ”

"Why is a half-orc in the labyrinth of the dwarves?...... It's messy, it's messy......" Irma rubbed her poor head, trying to find a brick to stun herself.

Xia Feng ignored his funny, although it was impossible to know how all this was caused now, but such a long history would not have much impact on the problems they were facing now, so there was no need to dwell on this matter at all.

"The existence of the ghost slave must be kept secret so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, you know?"

"Yes!" replied listlessly in the messy void.

"What did you survive on after all these years?" Xia Feng asked again as he turned to the ghost slave.

Although the little guy has a special physique, it is amazing that he can live for so long, and the most amazing thing is that he still maintains the appearance of a child. If there is no energy replenishment, it is impossible to be in such a lively state as it is now. Unless it's dormant......

Sure enough, the ghost slave made a sleeping position and pointed to the meat skewers grilled on the fire.

Of course, Xia Feng had already seen it, so he had to ask more carefully: "Where did this come from?"

"Catch ......," the ghost slave said as he made a running gesture, "Run...... ...... yourself"

"Running by yourself?" Xia Feng asked, the ghost slave nodded and smiled, "That means that this labyrinth must have an exit to the outside, but it is definitely not the place where we fell......"

"Why?" asked the messy Imma.

"Because it is impossible for a cow or a sheep to be as strong as you are, and not die if they fall from such a height. Xia Feng glared at him angrily, and became an idiot again. "Since you fell to your death, how could you run into the maze and let the ghost slave catch you. ”

The ghost slave looked at Xia Feng and nodded vigorously, his eyes were full of admiration, but he expressed deep contempt and sympathy for the big man, and sure enough, it was still this most beautiful person who was smart.

"So we can go out?" Ima politely took the skewers on the grill and bit them to compensate for the energy she was scared away.

"When did I say we couldn't go out?"

"Didn't you just say you couldn't help it?" retorted Imma.

“...... I...... Tried ...... Very...... Many...... Can't get out......" The ghost slave's words were obviously smoother than what he said before.

Xia Feng patted his hand, comforted him, and then asked, "You have been here for so long, is there anything special or special that impresses you?"

The ghost slave thought for a moment, then nodded excitedly and stood up, took Xia Feng's hand, and ran towards the depths of the maze in a hurry.

After countless forks in the road, and the Imam had no words to complain, they finally found the place where the ghost slave had thought.

Standing in front of them was a huge palace-like building, they believed that this was the only decent building in this labyrinth, if it weren't for the ghost slave to lead the way, such a hidden place, they might not be able to see it until they left, it seemed that they were quite careful to protect.

Walking into the palace, the high dome is hidden in the darkness, and dozens of tall stone pillars with a diameter of nearly two meters stand on both sides of the main hall. Other than that, the hall was empty, except for a stone platform more than a meter high standing in the center of the hall, with a faint light coming from it.

The ghost slave excitedly pointed to the light and said, "Pretty ......"

What a simple happiness!

Xia Feng and Ima's laughter were not without emotion, and they approached the stone platform, and saw that there was a book made of magic crystals on it, and gently blew off the dust on it, and the book emitted a brighter light blue light than before.

Ima stepped forward to open it, but it didn't.

"Hit ...... Don't open ......," the ghost slave said earnestly, staring at the light on the book.

Xia Feng carefully looked at the situation around the stone pillar, touched the book again, and then smiled heartily: "Tubien is really an interesting person. ”
