All in all, despite the inexplicable "end" of this great battle, it is indeed a good thing that it did not really fight, and the dwarves entered the new gar side by side, and the intimacy was really ............ It's so weird!

The rest of the matter is logical, and the long-trapped New Gar Dwarves are rescued and begin to bring the city back to life - a very difficult task, but not a difficult one. Under the leadership of Rivad Hussein Bixia, the dwarves forgot their pain and sorrow for a while, and immersed themselves in the joy of regaining their freedom.

In any case, the elated dwarves of Singar did not forget to help their friends, and they cleaned the rock palace of Singar as quickly as they could, lit the fire, brought out the long tables and chairs, lit the butter torches and long white candles, and brought fine pottery and silver from the collection room. Spices, vegetables, fruits, wine, fat goose and beef............ A grand dwarven feast is about to begin!

Compared with the Noldor elves' feast, which resembled the picnic feast of English gentlemen, the dwarven feast was more like a family gathering - there was no restraint or etiquette, everyone could shout at the banquet with impunity, and Rivard, as the host, personally poured wine and food for all the guests, and even dragged each other's necks and poured ale into each other's throats. It's okay to cry and laugh, or even step directly from one end of the table to the other, just treat it as if this is your own home, you can do whatever you want!

The most haode etiquette is no etiquette, the most haode demeanor is no manners, how to be happy, everything is happy---the strange thoughts of the dwarves once again shocked Theodore and Aaron, and then they quickly melted into the atmosphere, and took the oversized oak wine glass to find someone to pour wine!

The more reserved Commander Handel and Miss Sibia did not attend the banquet together, but the seemingly elegant Mr. Lorens Lagrange, who did not care to party with everyone, was not at all stage frightened, and was full of sleek and tactful gentlemanliness, and from time to time mentioned the story of how he once outwitted the orcs with Rivad Bixia, and the other party was immediately in awe, and took a sip of most of the ale.

The lively and active Helena was naturally also present, and the golden-blue satin set off the princess and became the most dazzling pearl of the whole banquet! The bell-like laughter made even the dwarves flutter, and the white and tender little hands held up the large wine glasses that did not match the figure at all, and the happy little faces were flushed.

However, since it is a dwarven banquet, it is natural that local traditional food and specialties are indispensable. When the attendants came up with large plates, Theodore could even smell the tempting aroma of the food, and the anticipation in his heart naturally rose with the tide, guessing what kind of delicacy it was.

When the plates were brought to the people, everyone's beautiful illusions were completely shattered in an instant! That incredible feeling was as shocking as falling into a hole in the ice for ten thousand years!

"What's the name of this dish?" Diodore looked like he had seen a ghost, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he turned his head to ask a dwarf beside him, "Or, is this really just a side dish?"

"What are you talking about? This is the main course. The dwarf replied, "Don't you think it's delicious?" or is it not to your taste?"

"It's nothing, the incense is quite fragrant, it's just too special. The corners of Theodore's mouth twitched even more, looking at the plate in front of him that was full of fragrance, but it looked like black paste, and a little like rotten sauce, he couldn't arouse his interest, and his stomach turned upside down, and he quickly drank a few more sips of ale.

The dwarf on the side was not as "poor and exquisite" as him, tearing off a large piece of bread with joy, dipping it in the plate of "main course", swallowing it in a big gulp, and eating it very fragrant.

Most of the others also encountered similar embarrassment, Salald saw that the one next to him had a good appetite and gave him his share as if he was courteous, Aaron closed his eyes and dipped it in the dwarven way, anyway, except for the terrible appearance, the taste was actually very good, and Helena's share was directly "robbed" by Terenus I left, saying that I remembered the wheat paste I ate at home when I was a child (the poor people who couldn't afford bread in the ancient Middle Ages had to pour wheat and wild vegetables into the pot and cook them casually and eat them as rice), and I miss it very much.

Although many "foreign guests" had a great appetite for this thing, the dwarves ate it very happily -- of course, there is nothing in this world for no reason, and the dwarves are willing to like it so much.

There is a saying that what is lacking is what you like, and distance produces beauty. Europe, which does not produce spices, was obsessed with oriental specialties such as pepper and cinnamon, and Japan, which does not produce sugar or grapes, also had sugar cubes and wine popular during the Warring States period. The same can be said for dwarves.

Although the Black Rock Basin has countless mineral deposits, the land here is so barren that it is impossible to feed itself by growing wheat alone. If you want to fill your stomach, you can only take gems and crafts to trade with the races outside. As a result, the dwarves, who were extremely scarce in terms of food, fell in love with spices and a variety of vegetables, and went to great lengths to cook these hard-won luxuries.

It is also due to the extreme obsession with spices, the more high-end the dwarf dishes, the more kinds of spices should be put in, and if the dishes want to be flavorful, the most haode way is to crush them thoroughly, so that all the spices can be fully and evenly blended with all the vegetables.

To put it more simply, the dwarves in this regard have a lot of similarities with Theodore's Indians in their previous life, they both like to make a plate of paste, although this is indeed delicious, but it does not look very good, and it is difficult for those who have not eaten it to have any appetite.

In addition, the waiters served a very dwarf-style thick soup, not only because of the aroma after the addition of many special spices, but also because the soup was extremely thick. It's not so much drinking as eating. Compared to the dwarven "specialty", this one is more popular with everyone.

Of course, in addition to these local specialties, there is also a wide variety of cuisine. Culturally diverse, the New Gar dazzles everyone with everything from honey barbecue in the Far North to seafood stew in the south of the empire – Theodore even found a number of good quality pickled olives, which shows how much dwarves love to eat them.

It was such a grand banquet that everyone forgot their troubles, forgot their sorrows, and immersed themselves wholeheartedly in the atmosphere of joy and joy, and was fascinated by it.

"Come, my friends, my brothers! and...... My sisters!" Rivard burped, raised his goblet alof, and filled it with ale: "Let's come together, count three and dry this wine, for our common purpose and friendship!"

"One, two, three, Cheers~!! for all of us---!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"What am I going to do with you? Huh?"

In the room, Theodore, with a serious face, looked at his two "loyal" commanders: "I didn't find an ally, and I got lost!

"I'm so sorry, Caesar. But this is not something we did intentionally. Ustan raised his head with a calm expression: "In fact, we ...... By the time they reached Tulga, the dwarven army had already left from somewhere and had lost a lot of horses, so they had to return on foot. ”

"Don't give me a reason!" Theodore interrupted him rudely: "If every commander gives me a reason after the mission fails, then what else do you need military discipline for?! There is no reason, the winner does not need to explain, the loser cannot explain, this is the attitude of a Roman soldier, are you right, Constantine tribune?"

"You're right!" Ustan bowed his head: "We are willing to be punished!"

"But before we are punished, shouldn't you hear good news from us?" Belisarius on the side suddenly raised his head with a flattering expression: "A good news, I think you will want to know!"

"I'm listening, General Belisarius. It was still a cold and toothless word: "Say, don't leave a word out of me, finish it before my patience runs out." ”

"Tulga, it's an empty city now, my Caesar!" Belisarius said in a very seductive language: "There is not even a single orc there, it is empty, completely empty!"

"It's already a pile of ruins, what if it's empty?Do you think that Rome or its allies who have been so badly injured will have the energy and money to repair it again?!" Theodore's face did not have the slightest hint of joy: "This good news of yours is not very good!"

"Get out of here!Get out of here, you guys who only know how to get into trouble, I don't want to see you now!" Theodore began to chase the people: "Disband, let you go this time - for the sake of us taking the city so smoothly!"

................................................................................................

"Hehehehehe............" When the two of them had left, Theodore smiled relaxedly, and poured himself a full cup of black tea for decanting, and the steam spread around.

"A bunch of fools, it's the biggest and biggest good news that you're surviving!"
