Underworld III
When the dark elf Ness and Goblin Setter arrived at the orc village, the gray dwarf Morgan's clothes were already stained red with blood, and Set counted more than twenty wounds on the gray dwarf's body, the most deadly being an arrow that had been shot under Morgan's left rib. It seemed that the arrow was blocked by the hard ribs of the gray dwarf, but the orc Fugg, who was trying to hold a log table to resist the arrows from the opposite side, could only watch helplessly as the gray dwarf lay on the ground, and did not dare to let anyone touch the gray dwarf.
The Orc village was built in the forest north of the dungeon, and Fugg and his people lived in thatched huts on both sides of the river, and the fields of the village were next to the village, mainly north of the river, and the invaders had trampled through the orc fields from the north and invaded the orc village. As the orcs and intruders were shooting arrows at each other across the river to prevent each other from passing through the two small wooden bridges erected over the river, Ness saw many corpses lying on both sides of the wooden bridge and on the ground throughout the village, most of them orcs, and Ness turned her head and looked at Fugg with a puzzled look, trying to figure out what was going on, when an elderly orc woman who was also under the cover of the log table that Fug was holding began to whimper.
The process is simple. At noon, the orcs, who had been toiling in the fields all morning, began to gather in their thatched huts to enjoy their lunch, when suddenly, a choking puff of smoke covered the village, and the frightened orcs came out of their thatched huts. They were greeted by a rain of arrows. A group of human adventurers sneaked up on the orc village without knowing when. They set fire to the grass piles scattered around the village while the orcs were eating and the orcs were left unguarded, and the slaughter of the unarmed orcs who had been driven out of their houses by the smoke followed. In the blink of an eye. The invaders had already chased the orcs from the north bank of the small river to the south bank, just as Fug returned, and Fug was fully armed to defend himself against the adventurers who had broken into the red dragon's lair, so Fug did not hesitate to roar and wave his battle axe to rush forward.
Fuge's appearance gave the orcs, who had no power to resist, a little respite, and the orcs picked up the farming tools they had at hand to use as weapons to fight back. A fierce battle ensued on the south side of the river. In the beginning, the situation was extremely unfavorable for the orcs, and with the exception of Fuge, the others were either hoes or sticks, and if they were lucky, they could find a long fork, while the other was wearing elaborate armor or chain mail. He also holds a sharp weapon in his hand. During this time, the orcs suffered another heavy loss, falling to the ground one by one, and their opponents often did not forget to make up for their swords, until the appearance of Morgan the gray dwarf.
The gray dwarf's original intention was to come to the orc village and assist the orcs in harvesting food, so he deliberately went back to his cave to take off his armor so as not to hinder his movements, but the situation in front of him did not allow Morgan to go back and arm himself, and the gray dwarf unthinkingly raised his iron axe and joined the warband. The presence of the gray dwarves boosted the morale of the orcs, and after a bloody battle, the orcs found that their opponents were slowly beginning to retreat to the north bank of the small river, at which point the gray dwarf Morgan made a reckless move: he rushed forward unsheltered and unprotected to try to hunt down the invaders, and several sharp arrows pierced his body mercilessly. If it weren't for the orc Fugg who rushed forward and dragged Morgan back to a safer place, the gray dwarf would have died in the hall.
Hearing this, Ness couldn't help but look down at the poor, badly injured gray dwarf. At this moment, Goblinsette suddenly grabbed Ness's sleeve and asked Ness to follow his fingers, and several fully armored figures on the north bank of the river sneakily split up and down the river, their purpose was obviously to cross the water from the rest of the river and outflank it. At the same time, the other orcs who discovered this immediately panicked. As he shot the arrows in his hands, he looked back at Fugg, hoping to hear some instructions from the bravest young man in his tribe, but Fug could not say anything, he knew very well the situation of the orcs who were still trying to resist around him, most of them were old and weak, women and children, and the few young and strong orcs had to keep shooting arrows across the river to prevent them from forcing their way over. In this case, it is really impossible to draw up any more men to respond appropriately to the enemy's outflanking, only to see Fugg turn around, his eyes glint with tears: "Ness, Seth, take the gray dwarves away! Go back to the dungeon, or the red dragon's lair, they will definitely not be able to catch up so quickly!
There was a hint of desperation in Fug's words, and he was ready to lead his people in a final resistance, covering the departure of the grey dwarves who had been badly wounded to help them, but neither Ness nor Seth could accept his plan, and Ness was already inadvertently raising her eyebrows, ready to jump out and fight the enemy. Just as Ness was about to reply to the orc's words, a roar in the air drew everyone's attention, and then a terrifying flame fell from the sky, instantly enveloping the part of the orc village on the north bank of the small river. Figures on fire jumped out of their shelters and tried to rush into the creek, hoping that the slow-flowing water would extinguish the flames that were devouring their flesh, but it was a luxury, not a single burned man could walk even a step, and almost in an instant, most of the invaders had been reduced to ashes along with the part of the orc village they had captured.
Caesar the Red Dragon is back. The red dragon, clutching a huge skull under its claws, hovered in the air and discovered what was happening in the orc village, and the angry spat mercilessly wiped out most of the invaders, and the huge heat even spread to the south bank of the small river where the remaining orcs were, and the orcs hurriedly dropped the various items that were used as weapons in their hands and began to run towards the river. Trying to fetch water to save his village. Caesar the Red Dragon roared again. The screams of the remnants of the intruders began to disperse and be heard from afar. They had tried to outflank the orcs, but were lucky enough to escape the flames, and the roar of the red dragon was enough to ensure that they would not dare to approach Thor for a short time.
Goblinsette was feeling extremely helpless at the moment.
When the dark elf Nice helped the orcs to extinguish the fire in the village, he couldn't help and lifted a large bucket full of water - the bucket in the orc village was more than half the size of the bucket used by ordinary people, and it was really beyond the range of Seth's body; when the fire in the village was finally extinguished, Fugg suddenly fell to the ground, because he had been injured after a fierce battle, but the goblin was unable to support the heavy body of the orc; Morgan, the gray dwarf whose muscles were constantly twitching, and Seth had nothing to do, and he couldn't save his life by constantly wiping the gray dwarf's sweat. Finally, tears welled up in the corners of Seth's eyes.
"Little one. Come to me. The voice of the red dragon Caesar suddenly sounded in the goblin's ears, perhaps sensing the love in the goblin's heart, the red dragon directly asked: "Hmm, little one, what's wrong with you?
"No, it's just that I find myself of little use, both for the dungeons and Mr. Ampiels, and for the orcs. The goblin heartily answered the red dragon's question.
"Why do you think that? If nothing else, what I need you to do now is what only you can do. The red dragon affirmed, "And maybe before you come over, you can ask that human girl in the dungeon hall to help out in the orc village, I feel that she has divine power in her." ”
The goblin's eyes lit up. In desperation, they forgot about the priestess who was locked up in the dungeon hall, Ada Nigoth, who bound her hands and feet before leaving the dungeon, and then closed the door of the dungeon tightly. The goblin hurriedly spoke to the dark elves who were looking at Fugg and Morgan at a loss, and turned around and ran towards the dungeon.
It was not easy for Priest Ida to heal the wounded grey dwarves and orcs in the village. Seth timidly first asked the pastor if he would be willing to heal them. Then there was a loud order, and then a fierce face to intimidate, but unfortunately the answer was only two words from beginning to end: "Don't ......" and finally the red dragon, who heard the voice of the dungeon, stepped out and spoke a word to Ada with his heart, so before the goblins could react, Ada's figure had disappeared from his sight. The Red Dragon's words were...... "Go to the village to the north and heal everyone at once, and don't be lazy or leave before I agree, or ......"
When the goblin came to the Red Dragon's volcanic cavern, he was indeed taken aback. On a stone bar jutting out of the cave wall lay a huge skull, much larger than the head of Caesar, the massive red dragon, whose mouth was still open and closed, as if ready to swallow the goblin that was not enough to fit its teeth. The light from the lava lake glows the entire cave wall red, revealing the skull's gray and pale color. The red dragon staggered to the skull, his massive body blocking out the rays of light shining on the skull, and a burst of blue light flashed in the shadows of the skull's two pitch-black eyes.
"See, the blue in its eye sockets. The red dragon looked down at the goblin, "Go into its eye socket and dig out the blue thing, only you can do that, little one." ”
Indeed, only the goblin in the entire dungeon was small enough to burrow into the skull's eye sockets, and the goblin looked at the red dragon in confusion, he didn't understand why he was doing this, he was really afraid of the skull, and the cold aura coming from the skull made the goblins feel creepy.
At this time, another voice suddenly sounded on the skull, it was a poorly dressed, rather obese looking halfling, he sat cross-legged on the bare skull: "Don't be afraid, this guy is no longer capable of hurting you." The halfling said as he stood up and stomped heavily on his skull: "Look, it can't do anything! it can't move or bite anything but its own tongue." But it doesn't have a tongue at all, oh! poor fellow!" The goblin was relieved by the halfling's antics and words, and Seth had learned that the skull could not cause any damage to anyone.
The halfling continued to perform his one-man show on the skull, and when the figure flickered, the halfling had already jumped down steadily, standing on the bridge of the skull's nose, facing the skull's eye sockets. The height of the eye socket of the skull can only reach the shoulder of the halfling, but at such a height, the halfling himself can get in?The halfling seemed to see the goblin's question, and turned his head to look at him: "No, no, no, it looks like I can get into it from the outside, but the more you go in, the more space there is inside...... How to put it, the narrower. If I could reduce my waistline by a few inches, I might be able to do it, but right now, you're the only one who can do it, little goblin. Come, do me a favor, and I'll reward you." As he spoke, the halfling beckoned to the goblin.
Caesar the Red Dragon jerked a claw from behind his back, hooked the goblin's coat and sent him to the halfling: "Go, little one. What's in it is important, and for this halfling, it's even more so for us. ”
The goblin steadied himself on the bridge of his skull's nose, and at the same time finally found a gap in the halfling's words,** a question of his own, "So, what is inside?"
"What, you still don't know what's inside?" The halfling's loud voice was as loud as thunder, and he turned his head to look at Caesar the red dragon with a look of reproach, "How can this be, how can this attitude educate a young man like the little goblinset?" Seth looked at the halfling in amazement, he didn't remember that he had ever known such a drooling guy before. "You didn't tell him that it was the Blue Mist Grass inside? I thought you made it clear to him, hey, Red Dragon, how could you have such an attitude towards me...... Wait, goblin, I'm not done yet...... Red Dragon......" The halfling watched as the goblin impatiently burrowed into the eye socket of the skull, while the red dragon completely ignored the gushing halfling, walked to the lava lake and stretched out his claws, and fished out one thing from the lava lake: red skin, huge wings, awakened by the red dragon's movements, it was the dungeon lord and demon Amtils who was taking a nap in the lava.
When the demon was angry that he had been awakened from his sleep and wanted to curse at the red dragon, the corner of his eye swept over the skull, and he was taken aback by the people he saw: "E, Edel, why are you here?
Standing on the skull at the moment was Eder, the halfling who was separated from the demon and the others in Bolt Harbor, but judging from Eder's expression, he didn't intend to explain what happened now: "Am, it's so nice to see you alive, especially when the Blue Mist Grass is right in front of you." If you want to talk about it later, I'm here to get the Blue Mist Grass useful, and the Blue Mist Grass can't be stored for too long after it is collected, so I'm afraid I don't have enough time...... Look, Blue Mist Grass!"
With a shout from the halfling, a thin green arm protruded from the skull's eye sockets, and the goblin held a blue-glowing mass in his outstretched palm. It was two small blue balls of light, countless tiny golden blades swimming rapidly on the surface of the balls, as if each had its own life, and the halfling took one of the balls from the goblin's hand and held it to his forehead. Suddenly, the Red Dragon's volcanic cavern seemed to be covered in a layer of azure mist, and even the glow of the scorching lava was overshadowed by time; "Look, Blue Mist Grass!" Edler shouted again. (To be continued......)
