Chapter 61: This Is Singal (2)
The influx of cavalry drove straight along the central road of the new gal, invincible. The orcs, overwhelmed by the sudden attack and ballistas, were unable to organize an effective defense, and were drowned in the vast sea of cavalry, trampled by iron hooves and turned to dust.
The Ironwalled Legion, which had entered after the cavalry, began to quickly occupy all the higher towers and walls, and entered the city one phalanx after another, methodically controlling the important buildings of the city, clearing the barricades, and breaking through the blocked gates - they were familiar with everything here, needless to say.
At this time, Theodore was rampage with Salald and Aaron with cavalry in the city - it should be said that the city was too dwarven style, with high and low house buildings, forming a labyrinthine system of urban roads, forcing Theodore to use his "strategic map" again.
Then, in this "eye overlooking the earth", he saw the whole picture of this legendary city, the astonishing true face of the city-state of New Gar.
"The city is underground!" Theodore said to himself, "it's all underground, and it's incredible that this city is so big!"
"What's incredible?" Aaron, who heard him speak, turned his head, "What did you find?"
"Cavalry -- stop advancing! Stop advancing!" "The cavalry -- stop advancing! " Salald, who was at the forefront of the charge, suddenly stopped, raised his right hand and signaled to those behind him: "Don't advance any further, rest in place!"
"Damn, I almost forgot, this is a city of dwarves!" Salald cursed as he rode towards Theodore behind him, "It's not enough to take the city above!"
"What does this mean?" Aaron looked at him strangely, "Weishenme stop advancing?we haven't completely destroyed the orc defenses, and we haven't rescued any dwarves yet." β
"No, the dwarves will be able to accomplish this task on their own. Salald waved his hand helplessly: "Didn't your father, Grand Duke Brenus, tell you about some customs of dwarves?" β
"Ever since I was born, I've been dealing with the highlanders of the north, and the barbarians of the Misty Mountains, and the territory of Mistema has not done business with the dwarves of the south for a long time. Aaron shook his head: "Their asking price is too harsh, we can only sell the fur to Severcro." β
"No wonder you don't know, that Riwald probably didn't say it on purpose, or maybe he forgot. Salad shrugged helplessly: "The dwarven city-state, the urban population should account for more than half of the total population, and some places like New Gar may have more, do you know that this is weishenme?"
"Because......... Do they like mining?" Aaron asked, "Or do they like to do business?"
"Half right. "Because they built their cities underground, and the dwarven city-states were all built on ore veins!" They dug up the rocks, connected the pits, paved the roads with gravel bricks, and built the city from top to bottom -- in a sense, it was a good idea, but it was not suitable for man. β
"Don't they have to breathe?!, or do they have the skill to keep the air open underground?" asked Theodore, "If that's the case, I think we have more to trade." β
"Perhaps, I've heard it mentioned that the crypts of New Gar lead to the heart of the earth. It may seem like nonsense, but it's true. Salald pouted.
"Father called them the Sons of the Rocks, saying that these guys were all a race born from the earth, only to be brought to our shijie by an erupting volcano. Aaron said as if jokingly, "It seems that he is not all making up stories to lie to me, there is some factual basis." β
"Anyway, there's nothing left for us here, let's gather the cavalry, take control of the high-rises, set aside a reserve to guard against the orc counterattack, and leave the rest to the dwarves. Theodore turned his horse's head: "The war is over, it's time to enjoy the joy of victory, gentlemen!"
"Gentlemen, victory is already ours. Theodore's voice was high and light, with great joy: "Let us sing a song, and then we will go and join our dwarven friends!"
"Sharpen the sword in your hand~!Hold up your spear~!Ride on a war horse to find our brothers~!They are waiting for you not far away~!Waiting to go on a long journey together~!
The Golden Lion and the Black Falcon~!The Roman Laurel Rises at Dawn~!The Vast Journey Ahead~!Brothers~Don't Be Afraid~!The Robe of Life and Death Moves Forward Together~!
The jungle of the Silent Forest~!The wide, flat oak avenue~!The hospitable Noldor Elves~!It was here thousands of years ago~!Peaceful and rich never separated~!
We want to be with them~!Forming an invincible army~!Mighty and majestic south~!Vowing to defeat the orcs---this damn ambitious wolf~!
Ambitious wolf~!Ambitious wolf~!Mourning all over the wilderness~!Ghosts wandering~!The brothers knew that they would be buried in a foreign land~!Death will not let them be triumphant~!
The cavalry held their spears high in the forest~!The warriors were shoulder to shoulder on the hillside~!The Noldor's longbow was longer than their own~!The shield was strong~!The banner was raised~!
The gray beast drilled out of the horizon~!A rough roar echoed in the air~!Bloodthirsty eyes stared straight ahead~!Sharp claws stretched out~!It was a pack of ambitious wolves~!
Ambitious wolf~!Ambitious wolf~!Mourning all over the wilderness~!Ghosts wandering~!The brothers knew that they would be buried in a foreign land~!Death will not let them be triumphant~!
The shadow of death echoes in the sky~!The warriors who are not afraid of life and death are high~!The brothers lurking in the forest are like waves~!The galloping iron horses are crushing and rampant~!The ambitious wolf has fallen next to the flag~!
The scattered beasts rushed into the mountains and forests~!Ran for their lives~!The song of triumph was loud~!The angry dwarves were already waiting~!Raise their spears~!Kill these ambitious wolves~!
Ambition wolf~!Ambition wolf~!Mourning all over the wilderness~!Ghosts wandering~!Brothers knew that they would bury their bones in a foreign land~!Death will not let them be triumphant~!"

"Your Excellency Julian! and the Grand Duke...... Lieutenant Will, who was riding a tall horse, quickly caught up from behind, and the knights hurriedly made way for him to make way in the middle: "Someone is coming!"
"Oh don't be nervous, Adjutant Will, this place has been taken over by our knights, everything is normal. Salald rode over and patted him on the shoulder, "Tell me, aren't those orc cubs?"
"No, it's a dwarf!" Will still didn't relax, and his tone was a little hurried: "It's the dwarven iron wall legion, and there are 10,000 of them!"
"They...... Isn't it already here?" Aaron asked strangely, "Rivad Hussein Bixia is leading his soldiers to empty the remnants of the orcs underground and rescue his compatriots!"
"I think he's talking about the other half of the Dwarven Ironwall. Theodore's tone was calm, and he was so calm that he was stunned: "Well, what is their attitude?
"I don't know, they came in from the other side, and we didn't see the advance party - in fact, they weren't found, and they didn't send messengers to consult with us. β
"Marshal Terenus is mobilizing his army to prepare for defense, but the situation is very complicated, please inform Hussein Bixia immediately, this matter can only be solved by him. β
"If they're here to retake the city, or if they're looking at us as invadersβwell, that's not to say, but now it's all about preserving our victory. Will sighed: "Although...... It's a pity, but that's all there is to it. β
"Well, no matter what, we're going to keep our victory. Salald sighed: "Let's get moving, let the cavalry withdraw from the city, we have to intercept these dwarven soldiers who want to go crazy outside the city walls, and buy time for Rivad!"
"General Belisarius and that Ustan are both good men under your command, can you give them some confidence? Salald turned his head to look at his friend behind him: "Don't put your worries on your face, you are the ruler of Rome, your army and your knights are watching you, and those allies are also watching you!"
βxiexieγ Theodore coped casually, and then left with Salald.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Although he was worried about whether Ustan and Belisarius would survive, Theodore must put this aside for now, and lead the allied cavalry with Aaron and Salald to organize an effective defense outside the city of New Gar and delay the other party's entry into the city. He was accompanied by Lord Riwald of New Gar, but there was no tension on his face, as if he were not the one who had come to fight him for control of the city.
Then Theodore understood what was going on.
Two dwarven iron-walled legions with the same equipment and almost identical face each other under the city of New Gar. Before Theodore and the three of them could react, the two sides began to charge as if it were a final battle! The slogans shook the sky and collided together like a torrent of steel!
There was no sound of killing, no "heavy metal music" of waving weapons and shields, and Humpty Dumpty, the three-headed Humpty Dumpty hugged, elated as if they hadn't seen each other in years. Got all the human cavalry out of sight!
"Good morning, have you eaten, we've come back from the Forest of Silence with souvenirs!"
"Good guys, you look stronger than you did some time ago~!"
"Has the city taken it back? It's long overdue for our store to get a new sign!"
"Let's have a feast, shouldn't we celebrate? I see those tall men are starving, hurry up!"
"Then let's have a banquet!"

".................." Theodore's eyes twitched, "I will never deal with dwarves again." β
"I feel the same way. "Aaron/Salald.
