Chapter 967: The Disappeared Spies "Goddess." Let your followers listen to your teachings once again. The Great Elder knelt on his knees, his face full of reverence.

Behind the stone gate is a claustrophobic cave, which is filled with a cool breeze from time to time.

Like the stone bridge outside, entering the gate, one had to cross a stone bridge to reach the altar where the Great Elder was kneeling now.

The stone bridge is much wider than the one outside, about one and a half meters wide and about ten meters long.

At first glance, it looks just a long stone slab with a slight upward arch.

The Great Elder was kneeling in the middle of the altar at this moment, facing the darkness in the distance.

With a faint light, there seemed to be a huge black shadow lurking in the darkness, but with the naked eye, it was impossible to see what it was.

The Great Elder repeated the words over and over again until his voice was hoarse, and he did not stop.

"Goddess, please let your followers listen to your teachings once again!" the Great Elder gasped hard.

He had been praying like this for at least ten hours now, but as he had been for hundreds of years before, he still had not received a response from the goddess of nature.

"Has the Goddess abandoned us?"

As soon as this thought entered the Great Elder's mind, the Great Elder felt cold all over, and his chest felt as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and his body trembled incessantly.

"No, no, it can't be like this, there's no way the goddess of nature would abandon her followers like this!" the Great Elder looked a little flustered, his hands tugging at the ground, "I must have prayed not prayed well enough. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the Great Elder's body suddenly stiffened, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.

"It's—" The Great Elder's eyes flashed with ecstasy, and he suddenly stood up, as agile as a young dwarf boy.

Although it was only a slight moment just now, the Great Elder dared to swear with his head, and he sensed the goddess's reply.

After more than 500 years, I finally heard the voice of the goddess again!

The Great Elder burst into tears, and tears rushed out like a dead embankment: "You must have sensed the approach of evil, so you woke up from your slumber and wanted to protect your disciples?

At this time, in the middle part of the dwarf city, the dwarf king smashed the wine bottle in his hand, grabbed the collar of his subordinates in front of him and said, "What did you say?

This subordinate had never seen such a big fire from the dwarf king, and his teeth chattered with fright, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Rubbish!" the dwarf king threw him to the ground at once, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he walked up to his men in a few steps, and raised his hand to snap a mouth.

His men were stunned.

Syllable!

The dwarf king's backhand is another mouth.

A tooth flew out of his mouth, and blood protruded from the corner of his mouth and nose.

But looking at the eyes, it seems to have come to my senses.

"Awake?" the Dwarven King asked, looking at his men.

"The subordinates are incompetent!" the dwarf swallowed the blood from his mouth into his stomach and hurriedly fell to his knees.

"Just wake up and tell me what just happened. The Dwarven King stepped back into his fur chair, opened a bottle of wine, and gulped it down.

"Back to the king, I just received information from the periphery of the Sunset Swamp, and the dwarves we sent to guard the periphery of the swamp have disappeared three, all of whom were found missing during the changing of the guard, and the exact time they disappeared is still under investigation. In addition, the human army stationed on the outskirts of the swamp yesterday evening had already begun to march towards the depths of the swamp, and at their speed, it would not take two or three days to pass above us. ”

"You mean, our guards outside were captured by this human army?" "The Dwarven King looked at his men and squinted his eyes and asked, "We dwarves are in the swamp, but we have a natural advantage, and with human strength, we can compete with our dwarves?"

The dwarf wiped the blood that continued to ooze from his nose and said, "Back to the king, according to the news from the rest of the spies, this human army is a little different, and they have found many soldiers in this army who resemble water creatures. ”

"Huh?" the dwarven king looked puzzled in his eyes, "water creatures?"

"Yes. The subordinate said respectfully with his head bowed.

The dwarven king's brows furrowed suddenly, and after a long time, he waved his hand and said, "Send more spies, send more spies, and send a message every half hour, I want to see what these humans want to do when they come to the Sunset Swamp." ”

"Yes!" his men answered, and were about to leave, when the Dwarven King stopped him again.

"What about the Great Elder, why don't you seem to have seen him all night?"

The subordinate immediately replied, "The Great Elder went to the altar to pray last night, and he hasn't come out yet. ”

"This old thing—" The Dwarven King scolded softly, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Let's hope these humans are just passing by. The dwarven king said in his heart.

Waving his hand to signal his subordinates to go out, the dwarf king added a special sentence: "It's not half an hour, let the spies report the movements of the human army every twenty minutes." ”

"Twenty minutes?" his subordinates were stunned for a moment, since it was the order of the dwarf king, he would naturally only do it.

It's just that what he doesn't understand is that twenty minutes is inevitably too often.

Four hours later, not only this subordinate, but also the dwarven king could not sit still.

In the past four hours, a total of twelve groups of dwarven spies with four people in each group have been sent out to follow or spy on the direction and speed of the human army, but a full four hours have passed, and none of these twelve groups of spies have returned.

The group that had just been sent out still did not return after twenty minutes of suffering.

Forty-eight dwarves, plus the previous two dwarves, a total of fifty dwarves are now as if they have evaporated from this world, and there is no news at all.

Dwarves are not affected by swamps due to their size and talent, so they cannot be swallowed by swamps.

The only possibility now is that these dwarves were all discovered by the human army and then captured.

The Dwarven King couldn't believe that someone could catch the dwarf in the Sunset Swamp.

It is important to know that dwarves are the most gifted stalkers in the first place, and they will not be discovered until they have a true eye.

Besides, this is the Sunset Swamp, and if the enemy finds it, the dwarves can quickly burrow into the swamp and escape with peace of mind.

This bottomless swamp is the best escape weapon.

The Dwarven King couldn't figure out how the human army, or the army of creatures mixed with water, could find and capture the dwarven spies.
