Chapter 345: Recklessness

Before embarking on the path to freedom, Glinda did not notice the disappearance of Waunressa. When she noticed this, she was debating in her heart whether she should stop or not, but she decided to keep going. The Elven Ranger has made her choice, but Glinda must be responsible for her own safety and that of those she leads.

That doesn't mean she just wants to leave Grimbaatar with the rest of the dwarves. After all, these bronze-bearded dwarves had come to this mountain on a mission. She found an exit, yes, but she was also looking for something related to the mission location.

In the end, she found it. It was a huge prison cell, and it was a terrifying, terrifying sight.

This massive beast, imprisoned by a magical beam, is the source of the heart-wrenching roar that the Copperbeard Dwarves have heard lately. She had never seen a dragon so large that it felt so unreal to her.

"What are they doing to that guy?" A dwarf approached her and asked.

"Probably some kind of evil thing. The other dwarf replied.

Glinda immediately silenced them. Under the circumstances, in addition to being concerned about the imprisoned beast and the purpose of the trip, the female dwarf must also have a clear understanding of the layout of the room. The first thing she noticed was that there were five black palatins performing various missions near the dragon. It was as if their spirit had to be extremely focused on the task at hand, as if their lives were tied to it. Another thing that interested her was that just behind the dragons and the black-palate monsters was a long ridge that led to the edge of the cavern, which she thought was most likely pointing in the direction of some kind of exit.

Glinda came up with a solution. The first and most important step was that she had to get the team out. The monsters were armed, but most of them were spears and whips, not axes or daggers most commonly used by the dwarves. At the same time they are so exhausted. It was better for them to flee and report these things to the king. They gathered enough information for the smart people to put it together to form a complete blueprint.

"Let's go that way," she commanded to the others. No one objected. Glinda was now their leader, and her orders were as loud as if they had been given by Röhm herself.

When she thought of Rom, she wondered what had happened to him, maybe he had been dead somewhere. It is likely that they have passed by the places where those disappeared. Perhaps among them she would be able to find his body.

"If there's anything that can get you back up from your grave, I'll do whatever it takes. She swore at his back. Although Glinda herself didn't want to admit it, she did fall in love with this old and spicy warrior. This was what Glinda began with admiration for what he had done and his reputation, and gradually turned into respect for him, following him in this mission and spending more time with him. Learn more about this dwarf with a legend behind it.

Glinda gritted her teeth, there were only five black palate monsters, but none of them were near the bridge. It's time for action, and once you start, you can't regret it. She beckoned for two dwarves to come to her.

"When I signal, you run to the other side, keep your body down, and keep running. The two of them nodded, then prepared to wait for her signal. Glinda looked at the black palate monsters one by one, observing where they were looking.

"Run!"

The two warriors immediately galloped forward. As they ran along the ridge to that side, Glinda watched nervously. The two of them ran a quarter of the way. And then halfway through, two-thirds...... Finally, we finally got to the other side.

By that time, she already had two more dwarves by her side. When the first pair had almost crossed, the dwarven commander sent them to her side.

Relying on this method of getting two people at a time, her team also passed, and the process was extremely long for Glinda. She waited every second, ready for the dark-palate monsters to look up, but they didn't. Where the other black palate monsters were, Glinda didn't know. She wondered if they were hunting for the High Elves or the Draenei. They hadn't seen the two of them in a long time, and they hadn't seen Roma for a long time.

While she was thinking about the others, Glinda sent two more of her people away. However, the fugitives were barely able to make it to about a third of the way before they were finally discovered...... But not by the dark palate monsters below. The alarming black palatin monster crawled out of a high hole. The tall dwarf didn't even notice it.

The scaly creature climbed up the towering cave walls like a spider. Isyd soon saw two guys running towards him, their mouths wide open and screaming in their throats as if they were from hell.

The other dark palatins immediately stepped forward to stop the fugitives from escaping. To make matters worse, the other Blackjaws began to run out of their holes in various places, this time not reminding Glinda of spiders, but a swarm of ants. "Everybody, go now!"

The remaining dwarves ran forward, and Glinda was in charge of the break. She wielded a spear very awkwardly. At the same time, they are also looking for ways to other passages. The dwarves reassured themselves that at least most of the Blackjaws wouldn't have time to reach the ridge before they could escape. That meant their whips and spears weren't of much use until then.

A small thing whizzed past her head. At the same time, one of the dwarves in front of Glinda let out a cry and fell off the bridge, and Glynn could see that his body was dead before it hit the ground.

She winked back a glance at the wall next to her, where the thing she had just flown over was stuck in it—a small boulder with spikes at least two feet long. From the hole left in the wall, Glinda knew what it was made of, and immediately knew how deadly it was to a dwarven skull.

Another of her companions let out a howl and fell. But this time the body fell on the hill, blocking the way.

There is no time for nonsense. "Push her away!" Glinda yelled, "Quick!"

The dwarf next to the corpse was about to kneel down and push away when another spike ball went through his throat. He collapsed on top of the corpse and slid down the ridge with the corpse.

The black-palate monsters use a device that resembles a small crossbow. Glinda had learned about the weapon from previous historical records. The thing called "Daia Khan" - the name literally means "star dome" in the ancient language, and the spike balls are called "stars" - was a weapon that the Copperbeard Dwarves had been using for a long time, but was eventually eliminated. However, it seems that the black palate monster is still blue-eyed with this weapon.

One of the disadvantages of the Dia Khan was that the black-palate monsters seemed to be able to wind their teeth with only one hand - which was the only way to climb the rock wall - and only one beam at a time could be loaded, and the loading was slow. It must also be operated with one hand. It was true that a salvo had already brought down three of her men, but only three of them, so the dwarves had at least some respite and space before the next salvo arrived.

However, when the other passages of the Blackjaws began to disperse. Instead of moving on, those brief respites cease to exist. The reason was soon revealed, and another group of black-palate monsters from elsewhere were blocking the intersection. Using more familiar weapons, they tried to drive the prisoners back to the caves...... And then destroy them.

Either way, it's not so easy for the Copperbeard Dwarves to go down. They did their best to attack the black-jawed monsters with spears and whips. Occasionally, it can also deliver an effective hit. Glinda's remaining brothers stabbed his spear at one of the black-jawed monsters that were climbing upwards, knocking it down on the other's head, and both black-jawed monsters fell back to the rocky floor at the bottom of the cave.

Another dwarf with a whip grabbed a black palatin monster from a nearby hole as it was about to climb up. The whip wrapped around one of its arms, and the dwarf pulled it so hard that it lost its balance and fell.

Unfortunately, the Copperbeard Dwarves were not able to break out. Glinda looked back, wondering if she should let the rest of the group retreat.

The dark palatin monster has crowded the other passages. The dwarves are trapped on a narrow ridge and have only one choice between two paths in front of them, or surrender. Either choose death.

However, to everyone's surprise, especially the dark palatins - a new threat appeared near the trapped dragon, a nightmarish threat that Glinda could not have imagined.

A velociraptor is, no, supposed to be a pack.

Glinda counted, two, three, four, more and more. She swore that these guys had come out of nowhere—and that was the only reason for their sudden appearance—that was unbelievably everywhere in the place.

The velociraptors had their backs to the dragon. Feverishly attacking the nearest black palatin. The nearest black palatin monster was caught off guard and was torn off the flesh and died.

As the beasts turned a battle into chaos, a figure more familiar to the dwarves appeared near the bound behemoth: Elidi, the Draenei, and she wasn't alone. She was accompanied by a man with deep red hair. Looks like a human being of a mage.

Glinda knew only one wizard with red hair, and of course there would be many, but she had to admit that only one dared - perhaps as reckless as it sounded - jumped into Grimbaatar. Romme told her about the human, and the Elven Ranger mentioned him, in a more intimate tone. Ronin: Dragonheart's Rescue Efforts Have Taken In.

But this is not the case, and the next second Glinda also thought of it. First of all. He couldn't have known that the dwarves would be here at this moment. According to intelligence, the dwarves are in Grimbaatar and it is, but not here. In fact, he and the priestess seemed to be more concerned about the disturbing dragon than anyone else.

Elidy excitedly struggled to dispose of the crystals at the end of each rope that bound the prisoners. The female dwarf knew they were now trying to free the beast.

She thinks they're all crazy, but now all she can say is that they know something she doesn't know. Although what was more important to her was the suddenness of what had just happened. The dragon egg keepers now had to split into two sides to deal with their opponents - and there was a mage on the side - and she finally felt that her dwarves had a chance of escape.

Meanwhile, on a lower path, six dragon egg keepers rushed towards Elidy and Ronin led by a dragonman. A velociraptor sought out a dragon egg keeper next to it and attacked. Glinda also noticed that Ronin was also gesturing at this time. He looked determined, but very tired, and then she knew that he had put a lot of effort into creating this wonderful scene.

Two more velociraptors spun around and attacked the guys who had just arrived. An egg-bearer with an axe slashed down the first velociraptor that rushed at him, and then the second velociraptor approached the four-legged one.

A heavy object suddenly fell and pressed on the dwarf. Caught so focused on what was happening on the path below, Glinda forgot to pay attention to her back. The dark-palate monster held her down, trying to push the dwarven commander down the ridge. (To be continued.) )
