Thorin suddenly changed his mind not because he believed that Paul could do what he said, after all, the one who came was the elite of the steppe orcs, and it was no exaggeration to say that if the dwarven griffin cavalry was the king of the air, then the orc wolf cavalry was the overlord of the ground.

Paul just used them, not us, which means that the Chariot Mountain Dwarven Kingdom only needs to watch the men and horses led by these two teenagers. Thorin didn't believe Paul and Marlowe could do that, he just stayed to see how the two young men were bitten off their heads by the orc wolves, and then he could easily collect the ownerless in his treasury.

Doing so would not have any negative impact on his reputation, and those who disagreed within the kingdom would keep their mouths shut, but they would be able to get the box of enchanted gems for themselves. The smile on Thorin's face grew brighter as he thought of this.

With a seemingly friendly and kind smile, Thorin began to make a three-chapter appointment with the two teenagers.

"You have to think clearly, if you are sure to do this, then I will not send a single soldier to help you, even if you do not persist in the end to ask for help. ”

It's like you were going to help. Marlowe and Paul looked at each other in tacit understanding, and they both read the same thing in each other's eyes.

"Of course, Your Majesty Thorin, we'll take it upon ourselves to keep those damned red-skinned orcs out of the Hawksbill Pass, and as I said, we can keep them out of the Hawksbill Pass this winter. Paul said as he lowered his head slightly and looked at Thorin.

Thorin didn't like Paul's posture very much, he hated it when people lowered their heads and talked to him, but at this time he hid his displeasure and asked, "Young man, don't talk big about it, what if you fail?"

Paul turned his head to look at the two white-robed ** masters behind him, and then replied, "We will not fail." ”

"If I fail, I will leave the Chariot Mountains with my people. Marlowe didn't have much confidence in the matter, but he did express his support for Paul.

There are only more than sixty warriors around him who can still participate in the battle, and fifty of them have escaped by escorting the women and children of the tribe to the Chariot Mountain Range, and the other two tribes may be able to make up dozens of people, plus a few warriors and two ** divisions brought by Paul, it is really difficult for this number to block the steel teeth and claws of the red-skinned orcs. But Paul was his brother, and he believed that his brother would not be useless if he wanted to help him.

"Okay, that's settled. Thorin agreed, but was secretly happy in his heart. Without the support of the Dwarven Griffin Corps and the Infantry Regiment, you two hairy boys are waiting to be torn to pieces by the orc wolves!

"Before that, I think we should swear to the gods we believe in. Paul said.

"Bold human, are you making a mockery that our great majesty will break his word!"

The minister who had just spoken jumped out like a clown to accuse Paul, but the latter ignored him and looked straight at Thorin.

Marlowe stared at the jumping clown with cold eyes and said, "It's not your turn to speak here." ”

The dwarven minister was annoyed and angry, and he tried to fight Marlowe with a bang on his chest.

"Fefa, stand aside!" Thorin scolded. In fact, he didn't care at all whether he had to swear or not, because the fate of these orcs and humans was already sealed.

The three of them made an oath to their gods in the presence of everyone, and Thorin left humming a dwarf song on the pretext of inspecting the defense of the position.

Silence fell in the barracks as soon as the dwarves left, and all the orcs looked at Marlowe as they waited for the young chieftain to give the order. Marlowe returned the axe to Pinak and said, "Bring the warriors of the tribe who can still fight outside at once." ”

"Chief, we're going to fight too!" said Ogga's two children, armed with their weapons, begging, and the women of the tribe also took up their weapons and looked at Marlowe expectantly.

"Take them with you, now they must contribute to the survival of the tribe. O'Auqiang said, propping himself up.

Marlowe didn't want children and women to participate in the battle, but in the concept of orcs, as long as the limbs were able-bodied, they had to shed blood and even sacrifice for the tribe.

But this time, everyone's eyes were so determined, Marlowe could only cast a look of help to the Kashmo Shaman, but the latter opened his chapped lips and said: "Chief, they are for the survival of the tribe, and going through the test of life and death will make us more and more tenacious, take them with you." ”

In the end, Marlowe relented, leaving only a few dozen pregnant women and twenty children under the age of ten to take care of the wounded, while the rest took up arms and assembled outside the barracks. Because their fates are already closely linked, the other two small tribes are also left with only pregnant women and too weak children.

Time was pressing, and Marlowe, Paul, and the leaders of the other two tribes had a brief meeting.

Because it was Paul who proposed to block the wolf cavalry from Orim, Marlowe believed that he had a more mature plan in mind, so he listened to Paul's arrangement in these few minutes of meetings, and when Paul finished speaking, Marlowe finally knew where his brother's confidence was.

"This plan has a very big loophole, but it is also very feasible, and I hope the gods will bless us. ”

"yes, we can only bet that the red-skinned orcs don't dare to cross the hawksbill pass directly. Paul said, pointing to a sketch on the ground.

Although Bane Whitehoof from the Whitehoof tribe and Baranza Bloodblade from the Bloodblade tribe did not like humans, they believed in Marlowe and did not raise objections, believing that the human's plan had a good chance of succeeding.

The four of them began to arrange according to plan, and soon the orcs set off on their mounts, leaving only billowing smoke and dust in the dwarven quarters.

Marlowe led the team to the Eagle's Beak Pass quietly, at this time, two thousand dwarven warriors had appeared one kilometer on three sides of the Eagle's Beak Pass, and there was a steady stream of dwarven armies coming, and dozens of dwarven griffin knights in the sky were closely monitoring the movements of the orc army that appeared on the other side of the pass.

As early as a week ago, General Johnny had presciently ordered his army to fortify the fortifications, so the dwarven defenses looked impregnable, and with every dwarven warrior wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, it looked like a steel beast stationed here.

This is the main reason why the orcs are reluctant to go south to prey on the dwarves in winter, and the dwarves' well-equipped and powerful defenses will cause the tribe to suffer heavy losses and not gain much. What's more, the dwarves are not good at planting, and the orcs are even more reluctant to come here to fight hard.
