"You also saw the power of that cannonball just now, if you don't surrender again, the next person to suffer will be your city!"

If you want to subdue the dwarves, it's very simple, just show your strength directly.

Romanov's words undoubtedly made the dwarves on the wall in the distance, led by Pepys, instantly shudder!

They didn't even dare to imagine that this would be the case if that shelling had landed on their walls.

It can be said that the frontal wall was blown down, and this is only the lightest.

And they stood on the city wall, and they were afraid that they would be seriously injured if they did not die.

At this time, Pepis was also aware of the strength of the Romanovs.

At this time, he couldn't even raise the heart of law resistance.

Because once they resist, they will be greeted only by death.

In the distance, the gates of the dwarven city slowly opened, announcing Pepys's attitude, and they threw in the towel.

And the elves in the great forest also followed suit and officially announced their submission.

The rest of the matter was easy to do, and Arthur Wang and Romanov started at the same time, and began to determine the population of the two tribes, and at the same time count the resources in the territory.

Among them, the elven clan is the focus of attention, after all, the original purpose of Xia Qi's expedition this time is to make sure that ??????????????? Protect the spiritual wood resources here.

The large area of spiritual wood that was full of years old made King Arthur greedy for a while.

People who have never planted spiritual trees will never know how difficult it is to grow these spiritual trees, which look not much different from ordinary trees in appearance.

If you want to grow a spirit tree that is 300 years old, 500 years, or even longer, it doesn't just take enough time.

When these spiritual trees are planted, they have to be carefully served like uncles, but even if they are so, they are not careful, and they will be fed to death.

A situation like this, even a Wood Elf clan that specializes in cultivating spirit trees cannot be completely avoided.

And in addition to the large area of spiritual wood planting forest, there are some expected resources in this large forest, that is, the magic crystal vein!

After seeing the elven marksmen before and discovering that they were using elven magic arrows, Arthur Wang had already concluded that this group of indigenous elves had magic crystal veins in their hands.

Now the number of points has been ordered, and there are three in total, although it is not much, but it is not bad.

The main thing is that these elves have guarded this big forest and haven't moved anywhere, otherwise, after so many years, they should be able to collect more resources.

In addition, as a group that has developed for so many years, it stands to reason that this group of elves should also have some magic cores in their hands.

It turns out that they did have it, but the group of dark elves led by Eric Menton looted them every time they came to raid.

And now, the magic core in Eric Meyeton's hands has all fallen into Xia Qi's hands.

At first glance, it seems that there is no difference.

This large forest, to be honest, is quite large, almost the size of a quarter of an elven administrative district, and the area is actually quite small.

Therefore, the inventory of resources still wasted a lot of effort on Arthur Wang.

On the other side, the Romanovs were much more relaxed.

Unlike the elves, who are in the forest, the city buildings are relatively scattered, and there is no pattern to be seen, the dwarves are much more organized.

There are three dwarven cities in the entire hilly area.

And the total population of the dwarves living in these three cities has reached 230,000, which can be said to be a lot.

At least, Romanov was quite satisfied with the figure.

At the same time, in this hilly area inhabited by the dwarves, there must be ore resources.

Since the other party has developed firearms, there must be a series of materials for the development of gunpowder.

In addition, common minerals such as iron ore, copper ore, and coal mines are not unusual, and it is another thing that really surprised the Romanovs.

"It's ......"

The moment his eyes caught a glimpse of something, Romanov walked over quickly, and then picked up an earthy yellow crystal about the size of an egg with a crystalline texture.

Pepys, who was following Romanov, after seeing what he was holding, explained: "This is a strange mineral that we found in a vein, and the production is very small, most of it is an earthy yellow ore like this, and occasionally a red one. ”

Romanov: ......

He never thought that there was a magic crystal mine on the territory of this dwarf race!

Before he could think about it, Peppis, who was standing on the side, spoke again.

"In the process of forging weapons, we found that adding this earthy yellow ore can make the weapon tougher, and adding those red ores to cast the barrel of the musket can make the musket more powerful, which is very magical."

Speaking of this, Peppis's face also showed excitement, as a race rich in top craftsmen and blacksmiths, even Pepis is very concerned about this kind of problem.

However, at this time, Romanov could no longer hear what he said behind him, only remembered the sentence in front of him.

In the ??????????????? of the reaction After coming over, I saw him grab Peppis by the shoulder, and asked with an incredulous expression: "You mean, in the process of forging weapons, you added this earthy yellow ore?!" ”

"Yes, that's right."

Pepis was taken off by the Romanov at this time.

Then, I saw that Romanov immediately shook his head.

"Impossible, this magic crystal has an extremely high melting point, and it is almost indestructible, even according to our current technology in Great Xia, it cannot be burned or ground, how did you add it to it during the forging process?!"

After all, the magic crystal ore is also an ore, how could those dwarven craftsmen not be interested in those ores with elemental power?

Even, they had already tried to forge with magic crystal ore.

In addition, Xia Qi has also invested a lot of money in this project, hoping to achieve results, but the result is nothing.

The magic crystal containing the power of the elements, no matter how much their craftsmen in Great Xia smelted it, they could not soften the magic crystal ore by half a point.

After that, they tried to find another way to see if they could grind it into a powder and use it, but the result was still unsuccessful.

The hardness was terrifying, and they tried all kinds of things, but they couldn't make it wear out.

And after the elemental power in the magic crystal is exhausted, it can be burned and ground, but by then, it is no longer a magic crystal, but a useless piece of waste.

This incident made Xia Qi and Romanov depressed for a while.

And now, he'd heard that a group of indigenous dwarves were able to add magic crystals to the forging process!

After a short period of surprise, after calming down, Romanoff's first reaction was not to believe that even they could not do something, he did not believe that a group of natives could do it.

In the face of Romanov's questioning, Pepys's temper tantrum also came up.

You can doubt our strength, but you can't doubt our forging skills!

In such a situation, Pepis just said directly: "Of course we can do it!" If you don't believe me, I can take you to our forge to see for yourself! ”

In this regard, the Romanovs naturally couldn't ask for it.

"Okay, take me to see it!"

A small city of tens of thousands of people, Romanov originally thought that it would not take much time to go to the forge workshop, but he did not expect that the forge workshop mentioned by Pepis was not in the city at all.

Pepys, who explained the situation, brought a carriage and motioned for Romanov to get on.

But Romanov didn't need this, beckoned, and after saying a word to a personal soldier next to him, with a burst of engine sound, two military off-road vehicles quickly drove in front of the two of them.

"You're too slow, sit here."

For this off-road vehicle, Pepis has always been very curious in his heart, he can't imagine at all, there are no horses in this car to drag, how can such a metal lump move, and the speed is so fast?

At the same time, although it is said that this thing is a lump of steel, in fact, the forging process is not bad, which can't help but make him more curious.

It's just that it was inconvenient to ask before, but now it's for the sake of face, so I can't ask.

Pepis cautiously got into the SUV, although he wanted to be serious, but his eyes couldn't help but keep looking at the situation in the car.

Then a minute after the SUV drove up, he couldn't hold back his curiosity anymore and asked, "How the hell is this thing done?" ”

The Romanovs had nothing to hide about this issue.

After all, the manufacturing technology of automobiles has long been no secret, and in today's Great Xia, automobiles have been completely popularized.

But the question is how he can explain a problem to a native who lacks common sense, which is absolutely impossible for them to understand.

In this way, Romanov could only say with a profound face: "This technology is not something you can understand now, and you still have a lot to learn in the future??????????????? Many. ”

And in the face of Romanov's words, Pepis actually had a feeling of speechlessness.

After all, this thing called an off-road vehicle does look very complicated.

So, the matter was put aside for the time being.

After that, Pepys was in charge of guiding the way, and as the buggy drove all the way, gradually Romanov began to feel as if the temperature around him was getting hotter and hotter.

Originally, it was not unusual for the weather to be hot at the end of summer, but the problem is, it is also a little too hot, right?

Wiping the beads of sweat on his head, Romanov subconsciously rolled down the half-lowered window completely, wanting to ventilate.

As a result, he rolled down the window and just happened to see the scene outside.

For a moment, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Damn!"

"What's wrong?"

Peppis, who was sitting in the passenger seat to guide the way, was startled by the Romanov and hurriedly looked back.

In response, Romanov, with a look of shock on his face, said to Pepis: "Don't tell me that your forge is built on a volcano!" ”

"Volcano?"

Peppis was stunned when he heard this word, and then subconsciously turned his head to look ahead.

"So it's called a volcano, you know this?"

At this time, the Romanovs no longer knew what to say.

Not only did he know it was a volcano, but he could see that it was an active volcano!

"Hasn't this volcano erupted in so many years?"

In this regard, Pepis was at a loss.

It can only be said that these indigenous dwarves are lucky, such an active volcano, and for so many years, it has not erupted.

At this time, Romanov, who had already realized what would happen next, suddenly felt a little panicked in his heart.

Because, he probably had guessed how the native dwarves did it.

Seriously, a player with common sense would not dare to play like this.

It can only be said that ignorance brought courage to these natives, and then gave them a windfall.

Sure enough, Pepis led them all the way to the bottom of the volcano, and when he got closer, Romanov discovered that there was a passage under the volcano, which had obviously been dug by hand.

After all, according to the character of the dwarves, they generally see a mountain and want to dig it.

A bunch of natives didn't know that what they were digging was actually a volcano.
