Volume 5 The Return of the King 159 Ideals and Reality

Dwarves are powerful, and their strength is not only their steely flesh and will, but also firearms that humans don't have!

It's a thermal weapon!

Swords, bows and crossbows rely on who is more ruthless, and when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, it depends on who can fight better and who is more resistant to beating. And the bow and crossbow is a test of armor and logistics, and the other is whether the training of the crossbowmen is in place. This thing relies on real manpower.

But this is not the case with thermal weapons, where the power of a row of guns fired by a few hundred men is in some ways far greater than that of a crossbow. Once the bow and crossbow encounter a longer distance, the armor is thicker, such as plate armor, such as leather armor with chain mail, it is difficult to deal enough damage to the enemy, but firearms are different.

If the opponent has a shield, it may be better, but if you hit the body, even the plate armor can poke a hole in you, let alone chain mail and leather armor. And the speed of this thing is very fast, in the blink of an eye, the bullet will reach the body, there is no way to dodge, and basically after being shot, it is either dead or disabled, and the loss of combat effectiveness is an inevitable thing, but as long as the bow and arrow are not hit, a few arrows in the body can still fight.

So I now have enough muskets on my body to give me a better chance of surviving a normal and dangerous battle. Speaking of which, I wish I had a musket that could be fired continuously, but three rounds is still too little. However, for humans with this kind of equipment now, hot weapons are the most promising weapons that surpass most cold weapons, but when it comes to this question, his expression is very difficult.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked.

"Alas!" This guy actually sighed. "There were very few firearms that could be brought here, but now ...... Hum. ”

"Why?"

"The art of making artillery and muskets is not mastered by our craftsmen." He looked at me and said, "We can make explosives, but only some explosives, and they are not as powerful as the gnomes." ”

"Gnomes...... Aren't you all in this together? If they make it, don't you need it? ”

"How can it be so simple?" He said: "The dwarf race did have a much better relationship with us after the war than before, but now they have an accident. He shook his head, the expression on his face very helpless.

"Go on."

"They...... There was a serious internal strife, and their kingdom was divided. ”

"Their kingdom?" I cried out in amazement, "They still have a kingdom?" ”

"Of course, what do you think?"

"I have the impression that they are...... How many are the people of a minority or a small tribe in the land of your kingdom? ”

"Part of their kingdom is on the ground, but there's a bigger part of it underground, and their habits are very similar to ours in some places, but they don't like to dig and dig but like to make more new things, and of course they dig out some strange things out of the ground in the process...... But now their internal contradictions are so serious that they have become divided. ”

"Didn't you know about this before?"

"What do you know, first of all, this is their business, and this contradiction didn't seem to be very big before, who would have thought that it would be in this situation?"

"Then your king will not sit idly by! Especially at this time. I said.

"Of course...... But...... Now to be honest, we can't help it, their leaders are trapped underground, and our army can't go underground to save them. ”

"What? Can't go underground? Why can't I enter? ”

"Do you remember when the orcs invaded?"

I stared into his eyes and froze, "Didn't they tell you how to get in from the outside?" ”

"How can such a thing tell us?" He snorted, "Even the gnomes who live on the surface don't know. ”

"And how did this come about?"

"People outside suddenly can't enter the dungeon one day, and it's not a day or two, when they can't get in touch with the underground, they feel that something is wrong, and we can't help after asking for help."

"But...... Who closed the dungeon? ”

"Who else? Opposition. ”

"Isn't it self-defeating to be so closed?"

"Who said that......" he looked at me and said, "how is this self-defeating?" Whoever wins, is right, even if it is the opposition. ”

"This ......," his words made me suddenly understand, but I gasped and said, "But didn't I hear that the gnomes also participated in the last battle of Alterac?" ”

"Very little, very little! There are only a few broken planes, and those things don't work as well as scouts running on their feet. His words were full of disappointment.

"The firearms you sold to humans in the past...... Did they also make it? ”

"Do you think we made it? Hmph, now you know. Of course, I'm not afraid that you will go out and tell others about this, and this matter is no secret now. ”

"I thought the gnomes were in the war too." I smacked my tongue and changed the subject, "Then the current situation on our side is really not optimistic." ”

He walked over to the fireplace again, filling his glasses. "It's like we're waiting for a catastrophe that doesn't know when, this invisible pressure...... It's annoying. ”

"Now...... "he picked up the flask and filled it for me, "it is said that the commander-in-chief has also been dispatched, and he is finally no longer in Tarummir." ”

"Hmm......" I muttered, "you don't like him?" ”

"I don't know him very well, I can't remember if I saw him back then...... Hmph, I don't have a problem with him. ”

"Isn't he a good conductor?"

"I didn't say that." He glanced at me, "But now that he's taking the initiative, I'd like to see what this guy's strength is." ”

"What's going on with him?"

"I don't know very well, but I don't think it's going to get any better, or I wouldn't have reacted so much."

"What happened to the undead in the north now?"

"North? What are you talking about? ”

"There are two kinds of undead, the one that invaded Lordaeron in the first place, and the one that ...... The undead who later broke away from the control of the undead leader. I explained.

"I don't know this very well, I haven't heard of any more undead since I received the mission."

"Didn't your scouts go further north to scout?"

"I don't know, at least I don't have it here. What's wrong? ”

"I was back from the north before I got here, and I know a little bit about that area." I say.

"How?"

"The undead in the north, and I mean the original invasion, are now resurrected, and their numbers still seem to be increasing, and this has spread to the town of Nanhai."

He pouted and shook his head.

"What do you think?" I say.

"You mean the undead and the ones who are fighting us...... Isn't it? ”

"Yes, the leader who is fighting you now is an elf."

"What?"

"The elves, the elves of Quel'Thalas, were stabbed to death by Arthas, the crown prince of Lordaeron, and later resurrected as puppets, and then broke free from Arthas's control to create the current kingdom of the undead, and they call themselves the Forsaken. These forsaken are also a thorn in the side of the undead, who have a name called the Scourge, the Scourge. ”

He nodded, "That means we have allies too." ”

"We can't cooperate with those undead disasters, and the undead disasters are willing to kill everyone and destroy everyone." I say.

"I haven't heard of the undead from them, so I think it would be a good idea to cause trouble to the current undead." He said.

"It's not easy." I let out a sigh of relief. "What will happen to Gavin Rad if he fails?"

He didn't answer me, but stared at the flames in the furnace for a long time, "If he fails...... The war was basically lost. He looked at me with a sad look on his face and said, "It's not just a matter of the dead of their army, we may be wiped out immediately." ”

I stood with him on the top of the highest tower of the fortress that night, and the night was beautiful, and the moonlight was very bright, and the bright moonlight made the snow-covered land glow, and I felt that this light might give the illusion that I did not know whether it was day or night, and I could even see far away!

I could feel the temperature as the cold wind penetrated into my clothes, but it didn't affect me more. The mist he puffed out of his nose and mouth dissipated into the air, and I shielded my mouth and nose with a mask.

I understood his sorrows, but he never asked me if I could stay, for he was now short of men, very short of men, and I knew that he wanted me to stay now, but when I looked back at the towering mountains to the north, I suddenly had another thought.

It's time for the humans of Lordaeron to wake up.

After staying here for a few days, I decided to leave. I saw the reluctance in his eyes, but I was sure he understood my thoughts. I didn't tell him what I wanted to do, and I don't know when I got into the habit of not telling others what I really thought, especially my purpose.

He sent me to the mountain pass, and I wanted to say something touching to him, but all I could think of was to tell him what I was going to do and then help him. If you don't say this, I really don't have words, I really can't say the kind of thing you have to take care of, eat well, go to bed early and get up early, exercise and pay attention.

In the end, I only gave him a hug for a long time, and then I said to him, "Don't die next time before I come to see you." ”

He's laughing, and I'm laughing.

yes, next time I see him...... I don't want him to die.

I don't have many friends anymore, especially this ...... I admit it in my heart...... Friend!
