Chapter 108: The Grey Dwarves Want to Surrender?
It was nearly noon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It took most of the morning for Ye Guyun and the others to finally rush outside the "Gray Iron Fortress". From a distance, you can see that the so-called "city gate" that is located in the middle of the mountain is wider and more strict than the mouth of the general tunnel, which is indeed like a big mouth, relying on the mountain, under the sunlight, it can really show a bit of hideous atmosphere.
In fact, the so-called "Gray Iron Fortress" is just a dungeon of a certain size, not advanced enough, not huge enough, not clever enough, not fine enough (no matter what kind of dwarf it is, it seems that it can't be related to fine), but it is better than kobolds and goblin settlements in the same area. What's more, the dungeon occupies a position that happens to be home to one of the largest veins in the hilly region - the grey dwarves aren't stupid and know how to occupy the best place - so this is the place that must be taken.
The four of them walked towards the door, and as they approached, they began to notice something unusual than usual.
Outside the gates, how could there be so many adventurers? Shouldn't they be going deep into the tunnels and dungeons at this moment, devoting themselves to the noble task of catching slaves and destroying monsters with courage, wisdom, and supreme enthusiasm?
Also, how do these adventurers seem to be still arguing? It seems that they are divided into two sides, and they are excitedly scolding each other, and the tone is getting higher and higher, and the words are getting more and more ugly - oh~!
Ye Guyun glanced at the black and white bears, and the latter immediately understood, kicked his legs, and rushed towards the crowd. Of course, they are not there to help, but to understand the situation and resolve the dispute. However, it seems that neither the words nor the fists are very convincing, and after a while, the chaos of the scene has not changed.
Ye Guyun was bored and decided to do it himself. He drew his sword and silently worked his internal force. In the way of a lion's roar, he shouted angrily:
"I don't want to die!
After saying that——
Airplanes~~~!
In the sound of coercion, a white sword light as bright as the aurora appeared out of thin air, majestic and wide, like a divine punishment descending from the sky, with a majestic momentum, straight and slashed towards the direction of the gate!
Smoke and dust everywhere!
I saw a long and clear scratch on the ground of the path where the sword was traveling! And the adventurers who were originally crowded here, after hearing the inexplicable loud warning and perceiving the sudden light, were all able to disperse in time, but there were no self-righteous unlucky ghosts - these guys are all old fritters, and they will never take their lives seriously - in short, if someone can look down from mid-air, they will definitely see the spectacular scene of a sword splitting the crowd!
The adventurers were all shocked, and the scratch that seemed to come from the power of the gods lying on the ground strongly impacted their vision, and some people and others even felt that their three views were shattering.
"It's, it's too exaggerated!"
"It's scary!"
"Is this something that humans can do?"
"Who is he?
"He's holding an artifact, right?"
......
Ye Guyun withdrew his long sword casually, and then, ignoring the awe-inspiring, curious, ill-intentioned, or all other complicated gazes that had gathered, and also ignored the muttering and more and more outrageous and exaggerated discussions one after another, his face was expressionless, and he walked through the crowd unhurriedly, and walked in the direction of the gate.
However, Jimmy, who was following Ye Guyun, couldn't calm down, he was trembling, his body was still trembling, not to mention the amazing strength that Ye Guyun showed for the first time (in front of him) that made him unable to close his jaw, just those unpredictable eyes and discussions were far beyond his tolerance limit, although those eyes and discussions were not aimed at him at all, he was just a little bit of a pond fish.
In fact, the sword that Ye Guyun swung just now was not as powerful as it seemed. It has significant drawbacks: it consumes a lot, it has a long gestation period, it makes moves that run more slowly, it is really powerful but it is also clunky and lacks variety, it has no concealment in its grandiose imagery, and it has no follow-up to the "one-shot deal......
In other words, Ye Guyun would never use this trick in actual combat, because the cost (time, space, and internal force consumption) was high, but it would not be able to hit the enemy, and this kind of doomed blood loss would naturally not be done.
After thinking about it, the biggest use of this trick is to perform, and it is especially suitable for some occasions that require high-profile pretense and need to deter and deter. It just so happened that it was an occasion that needed to stand up, and the effect looked really good.
Ye Guyun finally came to the open gate of the gray iron fortress, and as soon as he stopped, he immediately sarcastically said to the black and white two bears who greeted him with shame: "Hey~!, are you okay~?"
Without waiting for Er Xiong to reply, Ye Guyun glanced around by himself, and at a glance, he found an acquaintance, "Wild Lion" Kapanik and his companions.
Kapanik was the leader of the mercenary group that had been outside Fort Advance the other day and had responded to Frank's request to "answer". It was because of this extraordinary courage that his team successfully won the reward of two truckloads of sugar promised by Frank, and for a while he did not know how many peers he envied, despite the fact that he and his partner did not do much at all in the so-called "pick-up" mission, and only accompanied the journey in ignorance.
Ye Guyun's impression of Kapanik is not bad, at least he knows that this is a bold guy. Based on this only bit of familiarity, Ye Guyun walked up to Kapanic, glanced at the crowd on the left, and asked, "Can anyone tell me what's going on here?"
"Huh, are you...?" Karpanik scratched his lion face, his features furrowed, and his deep forehead lines were almost enough to trap mosquitoes, and he tried to pretend to be thinking about it and then suddenly realizing, "Mr. Chief Advisor?"
Of course, Kapanik remembered the chief counsellor he had seen in that unholy place, when he had come out of a thick gray fog with an extraordinary demeanor, like a man of God, and the lady Mephis and His Highness Weiss around him had a faint grasp of everything—oh! What a status—— and then Kapanik inquired that the reason why these men were there was to crusade against the lich that continued to plague the castle of Advance—who knows how there could be a lich inside?—— And it turns out that they have succeeded.
Well! It's time to rejoice! WOW! What a great feat! What a terrible lich that defeated evil! Their names must have been written into the poems of the bards for a long time, right?
Of course, these are not the main reasons why Kapanik can firmly remember Ye Guyun, the real key is that Kapanik made a lot of money by relying on Ye Guyun and others - who can easily forget the God of Wealth who can bring wealth to him?
Not only did Kapanic not dare to forget, he didn't even want to see the impatience that might appear on the other party's face, so after noticing that the other party did not say anything about his pretentious gesture, he decisively changed his expression.
Coughing lightly, Kapanik said solemnly, "It is great that you are here, Mr. Saphius! I am absolutely confident that your presence will make all conflicts disappear and everyone will be judged in the most just way." ”
"Here's the thing......"
............
To put it simply, it's another ridiculous farce of Kapanik's shit luck.
This morning, Kapanik and his teammates entered the Grey Iron Fortress as early as they had done in the previous days. They believe that today will be the same as usual, and after some hard work, there will be a good "harvest".
The work is familiar, constantly going deeper, exploring cautiously, discovering the enemy, throwing it down, tying it up, moving on, and repeating the cycle. When the time was almost up, they left the dungeon with their captives and headed out of the hilly districts, where the Knights of the Crescent had set up a small camp to receive their captives, and the adventurers would simply bring them there and receive the agreed payment. One hand to pay the money, the other hand to deliver, particularly fair.
Just as they walked into an area that was already extremely familiar with them in high spirits, they suddenly found themselves surrounded.
Dozens of gray dwarves, layered on top of each other, circled and circled, carrying weapons and angry faces.
Kapanik was frightened at the moment, thinking that he had been particularly unlucky enough to walk into the elaborate ambush circle arranged by the gray dwarves. Then, miraculously, the expected irreconcilable and bloody battle did not take place, and despite the uncertainty on their faces, the group of gray dwarves was just firmly encircled, and did not seem to have strong hostility, and then out of them came a fellow who was probably the leader.
After some exchange, Kapanik was blinded - hell! These gray dwarves... Actually, unexpectedly... What you want to surrender and surrender is to surrender en masse?!!
Lie down in a groove!!
Kapanik was shocked at first, then ecstatic -
"If only we could escort them all to the Knights of the Crescent Order's camp......
"Uh-hehe-hehe~!I can buy a house!I can buy land!I can open a small workshop!I can... I can be a superior person!"
However, after a dreamlike daydream, our wise "Wild Lion" Kapanik came to his senses.
Not to mention the esoteric question of "having money but not enjoying life", which is still far away, just the most basic and urgent hurdle of "how to get this money" is already a headache.
The path to clearance is always determined, and of course the captives have to be escorted to the camp of the Knights of the Crescent in exchange for the bounty!
No kidding! That can't be done! By the time they accepted the collective surrender of the Grey Dwarves, the enemy had changed, and it was none other than the adventurers who had gotten together last night to drink, play, brag and fart!
A fact. By the time the Grand Duke's unprecedented, generous bounty was clearly communicated to all the adventurers in the vicinity of Crescent City, the kobolds, goblins, and grey dwarves in the Hills were in fact equivalent to a staggering fortune buried in the treasure spot.
It must be emphasized that this wealth belongs to the adventurer - whoever dares to disagree with them will break that person's dog's leg! But they do not (and cannot appoint) individuals, but let themselves take their own merits. If you have more kills/captives with high ability, you can take more, and if you have fewer kills/captives with low ability, you have to take less, which is reasonable and fair, and there is no complaint. Even those who were still crooked at the beginning - for example, they planned to play a few tricks such as half-way interception and sitting to reap the results, after observing and measuring, they found that it was better to follow the rules, so they also followed the rules.
And all this is the greatest reason why the large number of adventurers who have been in the same area for several days have been able to maintain a general order and create a happy and loving harmony.
Then, now let these adventurers find that one of them and a certain team, because of a little inexplicable shit luck, sat in a good position, took a good dinner knife, and opened a big mouth, and swallowed the largest and thickest piece of fat that should have been shared by everyone (although there are other kobolds and goblins, but everyone knows that the gray dwarf is the most valuable one among them), and there is no scum left - oh~! Guess what kind of reaction these rebellious people who have suppressed their temperament for a long time will have?
The thought of this made Kapanik break out in a cold sweat, and although he boasted of his bravery and had always had enough confidence in his companions at all times, and never thought that his men would be inferior to any team, he was not so arrogant as to think that he could deal with the red-eyed heroes who were bound to swarm in.
So, give up?
No! Kapanik is not reconciled! If you have to enter the treasure mountain, how can you return empty-handed? No one who is in the same situation will not be reconciled!
And the truth doesn't allow him to give up - dozens of gray dwarves lay down their arms and gather around you without resistance, saying that they want to surrender, even if you don't want to accept it, what else can you do?
Kill them all? reluctantly, it's worth a lot!
So, can you still drive them away and recapture them one by one? Isn't this an idiot?
After thinking about it for a long time, our wise "wild lion" Lord Kapanik lived up to expectations and came up with a brilliant way to break the game: if you can't swallow it alone, then you can share it! Well, you must find a few reliable friends to share the food! In this way, even if the fat that can be swallowed into the stomach is bound to be only a fraction of the total amount of the fat that can be swallowed alone, it can be swallowed in the stomach! Moreover, how to say that its oil and water are much more than what the wolves can get when they grab food and rely on their own ability!
Thinking of this, Kapanik immediately contacted a few of the more well-connected adventuring teams. Needless to say, there must be selection criteria, two, good reputation and considerable strength.
If you don't have a good reputation, you don't have to be trusted, and if you don't have a lot of strength, you don't have the right to eat.
The adventurous team that was invited readily agreed, and they showed great enthusiasm, as if they were rushing to the aid of the country, and hurried closer to the location of Kapanic—does this need to be explained?
Alas~!
It must be admitted that Li Lingzhi is really a chronic disease that adventurers can not get rid of.
Naturally, such ill-conceived actions make it easy for one's intentions to be exposed. It didn't take long for some of the clever people to notice that something was wrong, and it wasn't long before all the nearby adventurers knew that an intolerable evil was going on in the Greyiron Fortress, and before long, all the adventurers who hadn't received Kapanic's invitation had joined forces......
The plot in the back can be guessed casually, it's nothing more than a confrontation first, then a scolding, and finally a slash. It's right at the gates of the Iron Fortress. And after some brewing, just now I was about to enter the climax, but "how unfortunate" was interrupted by a sudden beam of swords......
