After putting away half of the "Eye of Gruumsh", Titus lowered his head and said seriously to the dwarf prince: "Zane, His Majesty Ed should have told you the specific situation. .”
Zain solemnly Nodding: "Yes, Lord Titus, we dwarves will follow you and obey your orders in the future."
Titus shook his head and said: "We are just mutually beneficial allies. no affiliation , you dwarves are not my servants."
Gu Jinlong stared at the dwarf prince who looked somewhat similar to Ed, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty Ed. He is a brave and selfless dwarf, and I am also. my friend I will try my best to complete the tasks he entrusted me with and protect you."
Zen quickly lowered his head and said in a respectful tone: "Your Excellency Titus, on behalf of the shield dwarves, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."
Gu Jinlong turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave: "Follow me and transfer your people."
"Okay."
In this way, Gu Jinlong and the dwarf quickly walked out of the lonely mountain The treasure house comes to the outside world.
Titus said: "The army of the Ember Empire may invade at any time. We must complete the evacuation as soon as possible and move your people to a safe area."
In order not to waste time, Titus Tus used his giant claws to lift Zayn's body, flapped the dragon wings behind him, and first jumped into the air, then spread his wings and glided towards the foot of the Lonely Mountain.
At this time, the foot of the Lonely Mountain was already crowded with dwarves. They were bustling and noisy, and seemed a little scared.
"Where will His Highness Zeen take us?"
"Listen to them. We will not come back in the future? Are we going to leave Avendeldan?"
< br>"What happened? Where is Your Majesty Ed? Are the orcs coming again?"
Suddenly, a dwarf let out a scream and pointed to the sky.
"Look!"
"It's His Excellency Titus!"
"And His Highness Zen! They are here to pick us up!"
The dwarves all gathered together He raised his head, looked at the sky, and immediately burst into warm cheers.
I saw the ancient golden dragon spreading its broad wings, gliding down from the top of the mountain with their prince, casting a huge shadow on the ground, shrouding the dwarves in it.
"Wings of Dawn" Titus, the dragon who saved Evandeldan, is also the dwarves' staunchest ally!
As the shadow grew larger and larger, a dwarf shouted: "Wait a minute, they are coming!"
"Get out of the way, let Lord Titus and Zayn Your Highness is landing!”
The dwarves pushed and squeezed together, and finally made room for an open space at the foot of Gushan, allowing the ancient golden dragon to land smoothly.
The dust was flying around and strong winds were blowing. Under the respectful and enthusiastic eyes of the dwarves, Gu Jinlong landed to the ground quite lightly with Zaen.
Titus ordered: "Zane, talk to them."
Then, he put Zen on a higher rock and used it as his podium.
Zen stood on the rock and glanced at the different dwarf faces. Most of them were relatively weak old people, children and women.
——Although female dwarves also have beards, a stocky body, and a voice thicker than that of a human, they are still quite "delicate" in Zayn's eyes.
Under the focused gaze of tens of thousands of dwarves, Zayn couldn't help but tighten his grip on the rock hammer in his hand. The responsibility as heavy as a mountain weighed on his shoulders, making him somewhat breathless.
Since childhood, Zayn has idolized his father, Ed, and has made it his lifelong goal to become a great king.
But when this moment actually came, Zayn still felt a little unreal.
After a moment of silence, the dwarf prince who had high hopes spoke slowly and solemnly said: "Everyone, I have called you here this time to evacuate Avendeldan. Go to a safe place under your protection."
"Your Majesty, Zeen, do you really want to leave here?"
"Then, what about our relatives in Avendeldan? ?”
"But, my ancestors have lived in the Blackstone Mountains for generations, how can I leave everything here behind?"
"Then where should we go?"
Zen's tone was heavy and his voice was sonorous and powerful. : "The mountain dwarf kingdom is about to encounter an extremely powerful enemy, even if Even my father is not sure of guarding Avendeldan.
The task my father gave me is to temporarily evacuate this place with you, so that even if Avendeldan falls, the mountain kingdom can continue! ”
“Your Highness Zen.”
Zayn looked down at the many dwarves from a high position with firm eyes - they would be his people.
From now on, the lives, lives and even the future of these tens of thousands of tribesmen will depend on him, and whether the glorious history of the Alpine Kingdom and the great civilization of the shield dwarves can be passed on also depends on his choice.
Beside Zayn, Titus also looked solemn, but he was still secretly happy in his heart.
Not only did he get the entire inheritance of the Alpine Kingdom, but he also had tens of thousands of dwarves working for him. It was indeed a win-win situation.
——Of course, the win-win here refers to Cassius winning twice.
"Ouch——"
A loud dragon roar came from above the head, and several golden dragons were seen hovering in the sky, and then landed in front of the ancient golden dragon one after another, lowering their heads respectfully.
"Senior Titus, we are here at the order of the Golden Dragon Council."
These golden dragons are basically adult dragons nearly twenty meters long, but compared to ordinary golden dragons, their bodies are The shape should be slightly slender.
Their scales are carved with dense runes, and their claws and toes wear bracelets made of fine gold and mithril. Even their scales are inlaid with pieces of shining gems, and some are wearing robes.
And their identities are about to come out - the law-loving golden dragons and the magic hoarders.
In order to make up for the "inaction" of the Golden Dragon Council in the last war, the gilded sage Crassus strongly supported the transfer of the dwarves and sent several law-loving golden dragons.
It is definitely difficult for ordinary mages to transfer tens of thousands of dwarves at once, but these law-loving golden dragons sent by the council all have archmage-level spellcasting skills, and they also have the innate ability of golden dragons. Spellcasting ability.
"So many golden dragons?"
"Moradin, this is the first time I have seen so many golden dragons gathered together!" "As expected of Lord Titus! As expected of Lord of the Dawn Wing! ”
The dwarves raised their heads in great surprise, looking at the golden dragons falling from the sky, and sighed sincerely. Even Zain was shocked.
Titus nodded slightly and whispered softly: "Very good, thank you for your help, let's start building the portal."
"Okay."
Favorite The golden dragons responded in unison, and then gathered together. The runes carved on the surface of the scales shone brightly, emitting the aura of space magic.
Along with the low chanting of dragon language, the magic network resonates, the space gradually twists and folds, and a translucent portal tens of meters high appears in front of the law-loving golden dragons.
[Gate to Another World (Dragon Language)]
The location that this portal leads to is the residence that Cassius carefully prepared for the dwarves - No. 054 and a half Plane, this place is also called the "Volcanic Secret Realm" by the colonists of the empire.
This demiplane is located at the intersection of the fire elemental plane and the earth elemental plane. It was created by a violent elemental explosion more than ten years ago, and was destroyed by the imperial colonial governor Serkan a few months ago. Lead an expedition to discover.
This demiplane is filled with precious ores and magic gems, and is an unexplored and precious "virgin land".
However, the empire is not in a hurry to develop it, and there are only a few people who know the coordinates of the plane. After all, they do not have enough manpower in the fire elemental plane. It is inevitable that the news will be leaked and others will compete for it.
Now, the evacuation of the dwarves has become a good opportunity. These dwarves from the mountain kingdom do not communicate with the outside world and are focused on taking refuge.
They are also good at mining ores and forging weapons. They can obey Titus' orders and work for the empire for free. They are definitely an excellent choice to be sent there.
"Brush——"
The chanting of the law-loving golden dragons finally ended, and a huge golden portal appeared in front of the dwarves, leading to an unknown and mysterious realm.
The dwarves stood in front of this huge portal, not daring to enter. Their ancestors had lived in the Blackstone Mountains for generations, constantly mining, smelting, and forging. They never thought they would leave here.
After leaving their familiar hometown, what kind of future awaits them? The dwarves could not imagine.
The dwarf prince, or the future Lord of the Mountains, Zeen, also stood in front of the portal anxiously. He turned his head and looked at the tribesmen with different expressions.
Can I really lead them to continue the mountain kingdom?
Can he really become as great a king as his father Ed?
Zayn didn't know.
“Woo——”
The distant horn sound came from Avendeldan, and Zayn recognized that it was the sound of the rally horn.
Only when encountering a full-scale war and all dwarf warriors in the kingdom need to be summoned, the huge horn will be blown, and its sound will spread throughout the Blackstone Mountains.
Hearing the melodious howl and the chaotic hooves of the argali cavalry, Zayn's father Ed's face appeared in his mind again, and he remembered his instructions before leaving.
Thinking of this, Zayn clenched the rock hammer in his hand and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Father, don't worry, I will continue the mountain kingdom."
The dwarf prince turned his head. , looked at the portal firmly, and then strode in under the gaze of countless dwarves.
“Everyone, let’s go.”
Under the leadership of Zayn, the dwarves behind him also entered the portal one by one with uneasiness.
Through the tunnel of space, in front of Zayn, there are majestic rolling volcanoes, like giant lava beasts, with exposed ores everywhere, and the sky is shrouded in orange.
——This is a brand new demiplane.
"Moradin, there is such a place."
Zayn couldn't help but sigh. He had spent all his life in the Blackstone Mountains and had never seen anything like this. A majestic and spectacular sight.
Gu Jinlong also entered the portal and came to this demiplane, and said: "Zen, this will be your home in the future.
This is what I said a few years ago I discovered a demiplane that is filled with precious ores and is very suitable for you dwarves to live in. I call it the Volcanic Secret Realm.”
Zayn said: "Your Excellency Titus, I cannot repay your kindness. What do you need us shield dwarves to do for you?"
Titus felt the hot wind coming towards him and said: "According to As long as your father means well, you guys Just live here with peace of mind, thrive, and accumulate strength to take back Avendeldan in the future."
Zen shook his head and said firmly: "Your Excellency Titus, you have done a great job for us. Too much, not only help me They defeated the orcs and moved the population and found homes for us. We really have nothing to repay.
You know, the dwarves have never been an ungrateful race. We must repay our benefactors. "< br>
Titus thought for a moment and then said: "Well, in that case I won't be polite. I plan to organize a military alliance to resist the evil dragon, but now I lack weapons, equipment, and enough money.
How about 60% of the precious metals and precious gems you get from the volcano are used to develop your own power, and 40% are handed over to the future Anti-Dragon Alliance? "
Zen nodded and replied solemnly: "Your Excellency Titus, resisting the tyranny of the evil dragon, this is what we dwarves should do.
Let’s do this, after the new mountain kingdom is stabilized, we will only keep 30% ourselves, and the remaining 70% will be handed over to you and your military alliance, and we will build the best weapons for you”< br>
“Such an agreement is too harsh on you. "Titus still frowned on the surface and shook his head, as if he didn't want to take too many advantages.
Zen said firmly: "Your Excellency Titus, this is not only to repay you, but also to repay you. Also for my father, and for the mountain dwarf kingdom.
Resisting the tyranny of the evil dragon and recapturing Avendeldan will become the responsibility and obligation of each of us shield dwarves. Even if we spend everything, it is worth it. We will travel through these volcanoes to find the most precious materials, The most precious metal..."
Hearing this, Titus sighed, but still nodded: "Then do as you say, Zayn, believe in your father. I will be proud of you..."
But he was really secretly happy in his heart. These days, there are still people who are rushing to work as cattle and horses?
I don’t know what these dwarves learned in the end. How will you feel when you work day and night to resist the dragon, but all the results enter the dragon's mouth?
"Father..."
Thinking of his father and Evandeldan who was about to face the war, Zayn's heart was full of reluctance.
Looking around at the surrounding scenery, the dwarf prince secretly determined that he would let the mountain kingdom thrive here again. He would lead his people to build new cities and turn this rolling volcano into Become the home of the dwarves.
One day, he will return to the main material plane in an upright manner, leading the most elite dwarf army, wearing the most sophisticated equipment, to take back their homeland.
What the dwarves are about to usher in is a brand new future, the dawn of dawn - just like the title of their golden dragon ally.
And the golden dragon Titus is also full of expectations.
Free miners are finally here. (End of this chapter)
