At night, near Lake Delier, players and hunters are pulling out various materials from the fallen Shining Gold that can still be used, and they are packing as many ammo and supplies as possible into their psionic bags, and those that can't fit can only be stacked in place.

These things were all collected from Transencia to be sent to the halflings, and it was a pity to leave them here, so after consulting with Captain Yara, Dog and Utu decided to send someone to the nearby Shield Dwarven territory to find someone to receive it.

The shield dwarves here have been holding on to their mountain passes to fight the gnolls, and they are also considered allies of their own side, and with so many supplies sent over, they will definitely be able to brush up on the favor of the shield dwarves.

However, everyone was not ready to leave here, because Brother Qu had just received an order directly from Lao Qin on the forum, and they had to wait until Brother Qu and Captain Mia had finished discussing before they could act again.

At the other end of the lake, away from the makeshift camp, Lao Qu dismantled his Trolls' Hammer for necessary maintenance, and whispered to Mia, who was doing the same beside him:

"The other airships have all successfully arrived near the port of Chardo, they will arrive there in an hour, just through the special contact channel of our foreigners, I learned from Qin Ye that there is a working halfling factory near our fall site, and these gnolls we killed are the guards near that factory."

"Huh?"

Captain Mia, who took apart the barrel and wiped it with a cloth, raised his head and said in surprise:

"Isn't this place already overrun by the gnolls? How can there still be factories running? The gnolls don't look like they can play with machines. ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to say."

Brother Qu looked at Mia's blood-glittering eyes in the night, and he explained:

Qin Ye estimated that there were halflings and locals in that factory who were forced to work as slaves, and judging from the actions of the gnolls in the Genoa Peninsula at this time, the factories they could leave behind were most likely producing guns, ammunition and explosives for them.

If we leave this factory behind, it will produce a steady stream of weapons to arm the gnolls.

Therefore, Qin Ye hopes that we will try to destroy it on the premise of self-preservation, and if we can, release those slaves by the way.

Our expeditionary force has come to support the war on the Genoa Peninsula, but it is not only the port of Chardo that needs help, but we cannot afford to ignore it.

Of course, Qin Ye also explained the danger of this matter.

We strangers don't care, death is a regular occurrence for us, but you can choose not to go with you, and you can take Captain Yarra's crew to the Porut Pass to wait for the airship that will be sent to pick you up. ”

"But even if we are taken back to the port of Chardo, we will still have to fight, will we?"

Captain Mia shook her head and said:

"It's the same wherever you fight, as long as the target is the gnolls, then I have no problem, and my soldiers won't have a problem! But if you want to do it, you have to do it as soon as possible, it is midnight, and there are still six hours before dawn.

With the current composition of our team, the combat effectiveness of the hunters will be severely weakened after dawn. ”

"Okay, then rest for twenty minutes, and then head to the factory!"

Brother Qu made the decision and said:

"We have three dragoons as the vanguard, ordinary gnolls can't stop us, and if everything goes well in the raid state, it is estimated that the battle will be over at dawn."

"Hmm."

Mia nodded, and then began to silently assemble the guns that had been maintained, Brother Qu scratched his head and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what topic to start with, thinking about it After hesitating for half a minute, he saw that Mia was leaving, so he spoke:

"That. North and Papel's affair, I'm sorry. ”

"Huh?"

Mia looked at Brother Qu in surprise, and said:

"You need not feel sorry for my friends who died in a war to defend their homeland, and they died honorably and were posthumously honored as the Defenders of Transancia, and their families will be honored in their homeland for the rest of their lives, Major Qu.

In fact, I would like to thank you for training us in the first place, otherwise we would not have had the courage to fight the enemy to the last moment in that situation."

"That's why I'm sorry, I should have trained them more diligently."

Lao Qu whispered:

"To tell you the truth, I just used you as cannon fodder with names and surnames. That's what I really thought, and it wasn't until I finished that treacherous sniping with you guys that I really realized that we were no different.

We were all born in different worlds, but we are all the same, whether it is feelings or sadness, these emotions are the same.

I'm young and haven't experienced the grief of a loved one's death, so I can't imagine how you managed to convince yourself to get through it after what happened. I'm sorry I was thousands of miles away when you needed me.

But. But what can I say to see you safe and sound, I'm still quite happy. ”

"Well, why do you think I've come out?"

Captain Mia shook her head and said:

"I'm still not used to the day, and every time I get sleepy in the sun, I go back to that time of despair, and I've heard some of you say that veterans who have experienced tragedies on the battlefield have similar ailments, and I'm obviously sicker, not just physically, but also mentally.

Thank you for your concern, Major Qu.

But it's not your fault, and you don't have to blame yourself. ”

"That said, if I had been there at the time, you wouldn't have to be in such pain now."

Lao Qu also wanted to take the opportunity to say something more numb, but his previous thick skin would be weirdly thin, so he could only say something dry, and then carried his ogre hammer and Mia back to the temporary camp one after another.

Until he saw the others, he couldn't say the words he had hidden in his heart.

"You're such a coward! Old song, you're a fucking wreck, a useless thing! ”

Brother Qu scolded himself fiercely in his heart.

He could feel that Mia actually had some good feelings for him, otherwise he wouldn't have accepted the special anti-large biological rifle he gifted, but the problem was that as Xiao Shou had commented before, it would be extremely difficult for two sensitive people to go further in this situation, after all, Lao Qu didn't think he was as cheeky as Niu Niu.

He is in his thirties in the end, and the last bit of dignity left of the old man who has been crawling in society does not allow him to make Meng Lang's actions that only young people do.

When Captain Mia communicated the next task to the soldiers, Qu Ge tried to calm down, and when they heard that everyone was going to destroy the gnolls' slave factories and rescue the poor halflings, all the players immediately jumped to try.

They were eager to ride the mighty dragoons into battle and complete the classic battle again and again, but Captain Yara was very opposed to this operation, not because she was unwilling to help her people, mainly because she felt that it would not be good for such a few people to rush into a well-guarded factory.

The two sides were at a stalemate, until twenty minutes later, when the players were ready to kick out, several very powerful snow-capped griffins fell from the sky in a circle.

This is the shield dwarves of the Porut Pass.

The two of them rode vigilantly to reconnoitre, and after confirming the situation below, the hill dwarves, who looked like brass dwarves but were more stubborn, fell to the ground.

"We are comrades of Lord Heather!"

Lao Qu stepped forward and dispelled the doubts of the shield dwarves with a single sentence.

For this special dwarven clan with a small population, Lord Heather's name is known to every shield dwarf.

"Then tell us, what happened to Aunt Heather?"

Considering that Heather was born in the Hoffman family of the hereditary shield dwarf lord, so the shield dwarf in front of him should also be a member of the lord family, so Lao Qu made a strange dwarf etiquette, and then said in a deep voice:

"Lord Heather is still alive, and with her fearlessness she has released the seal in her body to save many people, and our lord, the Governor of Translasia, Lord Heather's kindred and friend, Lord Murphy, is doing everything in her power to try to save her friend.

He had a candle in his hand.

As long as that thing is still burning, it proves that Lord Heather is still alive.

The shield dwarves are friends of Transnsia, and we are currently on our way to attack the gnolls' slave factory, which were originally prepared for the port of Chardo, and if we can't take them with us, please send someone to receive them. ”

"Hah, that's exactly what we need to do with them."

The dwarf of the shield breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Heather was still alive, and was glad to hear that the Transians were going to give a gift to the Porut Pass, and he complained:

"Since the fall of Brass Fortress, many untrustworthy dwarves have come to our territory, some are frightened but others are still plotting to retake their ruins, we are already under pressure to supply so many people, and the gnolls in this vicinity continue to harass our borders.

This batch of supplies came just in time, and the patriarch will definitely be very happy.

But you say, you're going to attack that factory?

I advise you not to go, there are a lot of gnolls there, because the factory is full of explosives, and the gnoll's Overseer needs them in their war.

It's all the elite there, and we've scouted it before, and there's at least two thousand filthy gnolls and a terrifying number of kobold minions. ”

"So much?"

Brother Qu was taken aback, but then he asked:

"What is a filthy gnoll? I've never heard of that before. ”

"It's this kind of jackal people that you killed, they are the bastards of the Biting Bone Clan, I don't know where they learned the evil arts, they can use some very filthy powers, and they can also desecrate corpses to create monsters."

The shield dwarf pouted and said:

"After a few fights with them, that's what we call them."

"You just said that the defense of the Porut Pass is also under a lot of pressure, right? Then you need more explosives to protect your territory. ”

The rabbit next to him suddenly spoke:

"Or else? You send your griffon knights to support us from the skies, and when you take the factory, the explosives stored there will be yours, or even take the factory directly to produce enough weapons and ammunition for you.

The Genoa Peninsula is in chaos now, you can't stay in the Porut Pass and not prepare! ”

"Yes, as long as you send your air cavalry."

The dog helped beside him and said:

"We will fight the ground war, you blow them up first, and then you can retreat and wait for the dividends, it's simple and pleasant."

"Our vampire hunters can help with the air attack."

Captain Mia also said:

"I've heard Master Kudell say before that the Shield Dwarves are the best flying clan among the Dwarves besides the Frost Dwarves, and you have domesticated a lot of griffons in the snowy mountains, and our vampires are enough to form an aerial suppression.

If you don't knock out this factory, your territory will continue to be harassed. ”

"Shall others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch?"

The old song said crepe.

But the description was so eloquent that the young shield dwarf hesitated for a moment before nodding his head:

"I'm going to go back and report to the patriarch, I'm not sure to convince him, outsiders say that we shield dwarves are stubborn, and we do."

The dwarf was about to go back and report, but Captain Yara, who had not spoken beside him, said after thinking about it repeatedly:

"Hey, Hoffman's shield dwarves, there's something you need to tell your patriarch, there's a hidden metro station below the factory we're going to, which leads directly to the vicinity of Port Chardo, where the gnolls have been roaming around, presumably trying to reopen the subway passage that has been blocked and closed.

So this place also has a certain strategic value, and if you can capture it, it will be equivalent to allowing the Porut Pass to reconnect with the port of Chardo, so that you will have much less pressure. ”

"What? What do you say? ”

The dog and the rabbit are stupid.

Brother Dog asked loudly:

"What subway station? Is it so awesome? While people in other parts of the continent were still riding horses, you short guys started to do the subway? It's outrageous. ”

"What's so outrageous about that? We can all set up railroad tracks in the mountains for steam trains to run, wouldn't it surprise you to dig tracks in the ground? ”

Captain Yara sighed.

She glanced around, and reluctantly said:

"That subway track is a secret project of the Council of Steam Lords, and it was one of the secret and secure routes used to transport the burning gold artifacts to the Brass Fortress, and only the officials of Port Chardo know of that secret."

"And how do you know?"

Captain Mia squinted at the "timid" captain, and she said:

"You're just a contractor under Captain Paula, and you shouldn't know that, unless you have a hidden identity. Say, Lord Yara, who are you? ”

"A member of the Thieves' Guild."

Yara sighed and said:

"Because the Translancians bought a large number of airships in a short period of time in the port of Chardo and suspected of being involved in the black market trade, the Council of the Steam Lords sent me to the Perfect Shipping Company to do intelligence, but I was just joined the Perfect Shipping Company when the war broke out, and then the situation in the Genoa Peninsula changed dramatically and I could not perform my duties.

My identity is revealed.

But at the moment, the port of Chardeau cannot be saved, and it is a bit unseemly to talk about it.

Anyway, the subway station below the factory is important, and this news should convince the Shield Dwarves to help. Don't look at me like that, I really didn't want to see you die in vain when I stopped you just now, but now with the help of the shield dwarves, it's different.

I've got an ID card to open the blockade of the subway station and allow you to quickly traverse the battlefield to an underground hub near Port Chardo, but we'll have to take our own way after that.

At such times, there is no metro that leads directly to the city of Port Chardo. ”

"So, you've all come up with so many black technologies, why don't you point out war technologies?"

Brother Qu said helplessly:

"With the scientific and technological strength you have shown, even if you tilt one-tenth of your resources militarily, you will not be beaten by the gnolls to the point of extinction of the country and the species within a few months, I really don't understand what you think."

"Halfling technology is not for killing! This is the common principle of all halflings, and it is precisely because we know what terrible the consequences of those technologies when they are used to kill that we have chosen to block the exodus of technology for so long. ”

Captain Yara said very seriously:

"You may think we are stupid, but all the races on the continent have been able to survive these hundreds of years safely thanks to us for not abusing technology!"

"The other races of the continent are plagued by the Black Plague, Yara."

The shield dwarf said in a loud voice:

"Only you halflings have enjoyed peace for almost a thousand years! And now, you too are caught up in the war, and your outdated set is no longer able to protect you, and it's time for a change. ”

Yara did not refute and did not answer.

The halfling captain just looked at the three dragoon walkers parked on the edge of the lake with a sad and complicated gaze.

She knew what it was, and her previous cowardice and anger were just to hide her identity.

She knew that the weapon of war forged from despair and death in front of her was the end of the outflow of halfling technology, alas, the development of technology was supposed to benefit the world, but unfortunately most people would first use it to destroy each other when they got it.

This world is so ugly.
