Chapter 53: A New Alliance

Almost at the same time as the Dwarven Iron Wall Army arrived, the very troubled orc army quickly fell into chaos, and frantically ran towards the forest, the unforgiving Noldor rangers, and the knights who came with the army immediately began to pursue, in order to further destroy all the orcs, so that they no longer have the possibility of counterattacking. This crazy barbarian race, even the old and weak, women and children, is still quite a threat to humanity, just like the bloodthirsty beasts that roamed the vicinity of human settlements in primitive times.

Naturally, it is impossible for humans who have suffered a big loss to spare any orcs, let alone capture them back to be used as captives and slaves; as for the Noldor elves, only blood can repay blood, and only by killing all orc invaders can the fire of revenge in their hearts be calmed.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the enemy has been completely routed. The dwarven guards standing on the viewing platform were reporting the battle to the Crown Prince of Singar, Rivard Hussein, "The human cavalry is in pursuit, do you want to give an order? ”

"It's up to them, we don't have any advantage in that. Riwald thought for a moment, then shook his head and refused: "To some extent, it is also a kind of overture. ”

"But is this really appropriate?" the dwarven guards remained worried, hundreds of years of absolute independence made him dare not easily trust any foreigners: "In this way, New Gar can no longer remain neutral, we are almost facing the attack of the orcs head-on, the Noldor elves hidden deep in the forest cannot provide much support, and it is difficult for the distant human army to react in time." ”

"The other dwarven city-states can't even be counted on, the fall of Singar has only allowed them to gather more troops to guard the border, but they are unwilling to send a single soldier to help, we are almost alone!"

"Can there be a better choice?, my old friend, can we reconcile with the orcs?, this savage and bloodthirsty race is disgusting!" Ryvard frowned, but his mouth kept cursing, "I would rather give all my wealth in exchange for an alliance with the human race, than bow down to those hairy and blood-drinking beasts, and pray for peace!"

"What's more, not only us, but others have no choice. Crown Prince Hussein smiled happily with a smug look on his face: "The Noldor elves don't dare to watch the new gal collapse again, the war in the south of the Silent Forest has made them suffer enough, they will give a large amount of food to restore our strength, let us become the southern barrier of the Silent Forest, is there a shortage of warriors and equipment in the new gal, what we need most now is food, a huge amount of food that can feed all the people of New Gar and feed our army!"

"As for the other dwarven city-states, they don't have a choice. Rivard whispered, "It's like if we attack Salion in the north, and the other human lords won't have a good face with us, and if the new gar raises the banner of battle to the orcs, the other city-states won't be able to get the friendship of the orcs!"

"My wise Crown Prince, your wisdom is enough to put all the dwarven kings to shame!" the dwarven guard bowed his thick waist respectfully, "Only the great dwarven ancestor Muradin can compare to you!"

"Don't be blindly flattered, it will be of no use except to make me proud and complacent, and it is very disgusting!" Rivad did not feel happy at all, and his face turned cold: "I really wronged you to stay by my side all the time!"

"The battle is over, let's go meet our 'new allies', and hopefully they will be the same as the elf lad named Lorens Lagrange...... Friendly. Rivad cleared his throat and walked towards the audience with his turnip legs: "By the way, next time you call me again, don't call me 'His Royal Highness the Crown Prince', call me 'Lord of New Gar', understand?"

"Yes, Lord of the great New Gar, Hussein Bixia. The dwarven guards followed behind Rivad Hussein in a thick and respectful tone.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After receiving the news that the Dwarven army of Singar had come to his aid, Marshal Terenus immediately ordered the army to withdraw to the garrison, and only ordered the Highlander Rangers and Roman light cavalry in Brenus's army to continue to pursue the remnants of the enemy, and let them join Theodore and others.

Theodore and Salald, who had completed the task, wisely led the army to protect the Noldor elves and rushed to the north, these old and weak women and children would stay near the camp for a short time, and when the war was over, they would return to their homeland and rebuild their homes - just like humans, the Noldos attached great importance to their settlements, and even if they left for a while due to war and other factors, they would soon return.

It wasn't until late evening that the huge Dwarven Ironwall Legion arrived near the coalition camp and kept a considerable distance - they had not forgotten that they had fought against the Noldor elves before, and that both sides had wounded each other, and the blood hatred was always unforgettable.

Rivard, who was eager to join forces with Noldor, also generously sent someone back to Lorens, who had been serving as an emissary and hostage in his camp, to show his sincerity, and asked the Noldor young man to greet the commander of the coalition forces, promising that he would visit soon.

"It didn't seem like it was all smooth sailing, dear Mr. Lawrence. ”

In the tent of the Chinese army of the coalition army, Theodor and the Noldor commander Handel were already waiting here, the dignified Princess Helena sat on the main seat at the front, Terenus and Handel were on both sides, and the rest of Theodor and Bode and others were sitting opposite according to different camps.

"A small humiliation and pain does not stop me from perseverance and courage in defending my homeland, Your Excellency Salald of Salion. The ragged Lorens was still full of spring breeze and behaved decently, as if he had just gone out on an outing: "What's more, the respected warriors have already helped me avenge my hatred, haven't they?"

"Your contribution to the Forest of Silence is enough to get any reward you want, and the Anduria Elders are already arranging it for you, Lorens Lagrange. Handel looked at him with a smile, "Perhaps, the right to deliberate in the Hall of the Birds in Anduria (mentioned earlier, this place is the equivalent of the Senate in Rome) is worthy of your merits, and is enough to show your glory." ”

"Oh, of course, I am honored to be named Langrangege. Lorens nodded modestly and smiled, "But before then, I think we might have another guest to host." ”

"Well...... Lorens turned his head and looked out of the tent, "they seem to have arrived." ”

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

"Heir of the will of the great Muradin, Lord of the New Gar, the sole commander of the Iron Wall, Son of the Black Rock, Rivad Hussein Bixia!"

With the opening words of the long series of "titles" of the Dwarven Guards, two teams of dwarven soldiers wearing iron armor and holding round shields and battle axes stood outside the door of the coalition tent, leaving a passage in the middle.

With a solemn face, Ryvard walked briskly into the tent with vigorous steps. Standing at the door, Lorens coughed lightly a few times and introduced the "prospective king" of New Gar: "The person sitting in front of you is the successor of the Human Empire, the blood of Pendragon, His Royal Highness Helena Pendragon, and beside her is His Excellency Terenus Norhan, the Marshal of the Human Alliance, and the commander of the Noldor army, His Excellency Handel. ”

"It is a great honor to meet you, Your Highness Helena!" Rivard nodded solemnly, almost with a spring breeze, "I would like to express my regret for your misfortune and the heroic sacrifice of my brother, in the name of Singar." ”

β€œ............ xiexie。 Helena seemed to be in a low mood, perhaps because she heard what Rivard had just said: "Xiexie, you. ”

"Huh?" Rivad's eyes twitched unnaturally, and he looked at the "princess" with a little confusion - could it be that he had said something wrong?

"Ahem, ahem...... Tyrenus coughed a few times and took the initiative to stand aside: "I don't think those false courtesies are necessary, Hussein...... bixia。 Maybe we can start by talking about why you're here. ”

"Oh, of course!" Rivad immediately diverted the subject, "I'm sure it's clear to everyone that we all have a common enemy - orcs, so that's the only purpose of my visit!"

"For the helping hand of the dwarves, both the Noldor elves and we can see it clearly, and we are deeply grateful. Terenus tapped lightly on the table, "So, you're planning to join forces with us?"

"I don't think there's any other reason for that. Rivard nodded in agreement, "If we want to fight the orcs, we must unite. You may have defeated one of their more powerful tribes, but there are still many orcs entrenched in the south, and watching over our home for all!"

"New Gal is willing to join this alliance against the orcs, and the impregnable dwarven legion will become the southern barrier of the Silent Forest, and it will also be able to attract the attention of the orcs to the humans in the north, so that they do not dare to mobilize the army easily!"

"Of course, this is only on paper, and the Singar is still in their hands, and if you want the dwarves to keep their promises, you must show your sincerity with strong support. Levard bent down slightly with a slight "humility": "Help us retake the city, I don't think there is any action that can show your sincerity like this." ”

"But before you do that, perhaps you should prove that you really have the legitimacy to rule over Singar. Handel whispered, "As far as we know, you only have half a dwarven legion under your command. ”

"With my command, the rest of the dwarven army will join us without hesitation!" Rivard categorically rejected Handel's speculation: "I am the only successor of New Gar, please don't have any doubts. ”

"I don't mean to let you help us for free, the dwarves of Singar are very generous!" Rivard raised the corners of his mouth, "Gold, I can take out half of the gold in the treasury of Singar! to reward all the allies who participated in the war, please believe that this is a very large amount, large enough for you to dare not imagine." ”

"As for our dear old friend Noldor, I know very well that you do not need this, so we are willing to exchange half the price of iron ingots for food, as a sign of friendship with the new gar, and to compensate for the friction caused by some special reasons between us. Rivard smiled proudly: "I don't know, can such a price satisfy you?"
