Chapter 198 Arriving Underground (25)
Twenty minutes later.
After some conversation, the dungeon barbarian hero with two short horns on his head and an ugly face took the initiative to lead the army of Twilight City from the front under the supervision of Xina.
The dungeon hero named Gray Horn was in a very excited mood at this time.
God of the Dungeon, he actually persuaded these humans from the surface to go to Bloodhoof City!
And the other party is really willing to trade food.
Praise the gods! !
The gray dwarves' attack on Bloodhoof City resulted in the complete destruction of part of the food-producing area that had previously been able to produce food.
In recent months, food has been severely scarce.
Most of the monsters in the underground world are highly toxic.
No one dares to eat it unless they have the body of a black dragon.
At this time, the Bloodhoof City army did not suffer too many losses, but it was still in an unsustainable situation.
They were short of food.
Originally, there was not much food produced underground, but now this situation has worsened the situation.
This time he went out to pursue this dungeon force.
Another main purpose is to find out how much food they have. If there is enough food, Bloodhoof City will immediately send troops.
But I didn't expect that this exploration would be so twists and turns.
First, this dungeon clan force discovered the passage to the surface, then the other party was killed by the surface forces, and finally the surface forces were very interested in trading with Bloodhoof City.
The twists and turns of the plot were beyond his expectation.
"Damn gray dwarves! As long as there is enough food, the great Bloodhoof City will definitely win the final victory!"
His eyes were more excited than ever.
After walking in the underground passage for ten hours, news finally came from the front that the underground world had arrived.
Richard's eyes immediately lit up behind him.
He led the army to speed up.
After walking a few hundred meters, his vision suddenly widened.
In front of him was an extremely magical sight.
The sky is thousands of meters high, and the rocks form the sky.
A special kind of moss grows on it, emitting white light and illuminating the whole world.
Although it couldn't be compared to the surface of the earth, it was enough for him to see clearly the scenery thousands of meters away with his naked eyes.
Looking around, the air smelled of putrid silt.
A large number of strange underground plants grow in the mud.
The twisted branches and leaves resemble the withered palms of the undead.
Look back.
The location he was in was a high mountain underground, connected to the dome above.
Incomparably spectacular.
Richard was amazed in his heart, if this was placed in Blue Star, it would not be able to create more than a dozen A tourist areas
After coming back to his senses, he was about to call the dungeon hero.
Suddenly, dozens of armored bipedal flying dragons appeared in the distant sky.
Each rear was manned by heavily armed cavalry.
His eyes narrowed.
"Get ready to fight!"
The order was issued, and the army immediately established a defense line outside the cave.
The Sand Archers and the Ax of the Dead ride on the back of the Dark Gargoyle.
Huhu~
30 skeletons, like skeletal blood dragons carved from rubies, flew across the sky.
He stared at the armored bipedal flying dragon flying in the distance.
Seeing this sudden scene, the troops flying unscrupulously over the swamp immediately slowed down.
There were low roars coming from his throat, and he didn't dare to get closer easily.
"Dear Lord Richard, those are the troops of Bloodhoof City!"
At this time, Huijiao hurriedly came to report.
Looking at Richard's sharp eyes, he immediately explained.
"After I discovered that the four-armed, half-snake man led his army into the cave, I sent a message. They were not here to deal with you."
After hearing this explanation, although Richard's expression softened slightly, he kept the army on the highest alert.
"Huijiao, you can ask them to send a representative to talk to me."
"Yes, my lord."
Gray Horn immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly, under the watch of Xina, got on the dark gargoyle and went forward to communicate with the two-legged flying dragons.
A moment later, a leading wyvern slowly landed on the damp ground ahead.
The heavily armored dungeon barbarians stepped forward.
The other party was slightly relieved to see that Hui Jiao was fine, and then looked at Richard, who was surrounded by people in the center.
"Bloodhoof City, Bor, the strong man from the surface, thank you for sparing Gray Horn."
As he spoke, he clenched his fists with five fingers and dropped them on his chest.
Richard smiled.
"I always like to make friends. Lord Gray Horn has not harmed Twilight City."
"The purpose of going deep underground this time is mainly to carry out trade with Bloodhoof City. I wonder if Bloodhoof City is using mithril to reward food and spirits as Lord Gray Horn said?"
Bol's eyes lit up.
"Indeed, Bloodhoof City welcomes all good-faith interactions."
For every underground force, food is the biggest problem.
What Richard said was tantamount to telling a man who was about to die of thirst in the desert that he was here to deliver water.
"But for the specific transaction details, please go to Bloodhoof City to talk"
——
As the most powerful force in this area, Bloodhoof City rules a vast territory.
The new Lord of Bloodhoof City, Ser Bloodhoof, is undoubtedly the most powerful person.
As a young lord in his early thirties, he has amazing ambitions.
He wants to completely conquer the underground world within three years!
But all plans were shattered three months ago.
The gray dwarves suddenly launched an attack on Bloodhoof City.
And the reason for everything was that his father, the previous ruler of Bloodhoof City, passed away.
Ser Bloodhoof originally thought that the gray dwarves' attack was just a ridiculous and comical performance and that the war would be over quickly.
But I didn't expect that those lowly bastards who drove various weird mechanical puppets and enslaved various powerful monsters actually caused the ferocious and fearless dungeon barbarians to retreat step by step.
If it weren't for the towering walls that Bloodhoof City had built over hundreds of years, they might have been defeated when the opponent launched their first attack.
Underground, there is only one way to defeat - death.
Once Bloodhoof City is breached, they will turn from their dominant position to an inconspicuous small force.
Therefore, he mobilized the army at all costs and finally repelled the gray dwarf attack after paying hardships unimaginable to outsiders.
but.
The crisis is not over.
The food supply in Bloodhoof City has been exhausted in the past few months.
If no new food sources can be found.
Even if Bloodhoof City is not captured by the enemy, they will still encounter an unprecedented disaster.
But food is neither rocks nor soil, and cannot be obtained casually.
Even if we find suitable land for farming now, it will still take a long time to harvest.
But the turning point for all this came half an hour ago.
The spies reported that a force on the surface had gone deep underground and was willing to start a deal with them.
The items traded were the food for their savings.
"What do you think of that human lord?"
In the city lord's mansion in the center of Bloodhoof City.
Ser Bloodhoof, wearing a black bird feather coat, sat on a throne inlaid with thousands of gems, looking at the dozen tribesmen below with burning eyes.
Here are all the high-level officials of Bloodhoof City.
Upon hearing this question, the leader stood up and said loudly.
"Lord Serge, the surface of the earth is full of gold and food, and there are countless sources of clear water."
"I suggest imprisoning that lord directly, asking for the passage to the surface, and sending troops to conquer the surface!"
"As long as we occupy the rich surface, we will never be short of food."
When another person heard this ridiculous statement, he immediately stood up and said loudly.
"No, Lord Serge, we can no longer make enemies! The gray dwarves are our main enemies now!"
"I suggest cooperating with humans on the surface. We need a lot of food! The other party comes with good intentions. If the other party is offended and the deal is cancelled, then we will be the first to be unable to handle it!"
"And the surface products are so rich, the army they can raise will be more powerful, it doesn't just mean conquering!"
"Shut up, you cowardly coward, how can the great Bloodhoof City cooperate with greedy surface humans?!"
"Idiot, we need food now! You have the ability to get the food back!!"
"."
As soon as the topic was dropped, the pros and cons of those who supported cooperation and those who opposed cooperation immediately started arguing.
Ser Bloodhoof frowned when he saw this.
He stood up suddenly and was about to get angry when a horn sound came out.
The words in his throat were swallowed immediately.
The human lord is here!
"Follow me out to greet you!"
After finishing his words, he stepped down from the throne.
But the moment he stepped out of the door, his pupils shrank sharply.
At the end of the line of sight, hundreds of armored bipedal flying dragons were guarding dozens of undead dragons with a wingspan of more than 20 meters, and their skeletons seemed to be carved from rubies as they slowly flew into the city.
What's even more heart-pounding is.
In front of the army, there is a 15-meter-tall mechanical puppet floating.
Although the shell of the mechanical puppet was severely broken, the aura it exuded made him feel as if there was a mountain pressing on his chest.
Every breath became difficult.
That power is extraordinary? !
His eyes were full of shock.
The high-ranking dungeon barbarians who were still aggrieved and wanted to directly send troops to arrest the human lord were stiff at this moment, and their expressions became quite ugly.
A sense of joy quietly rose in my heart.
Fortunately they didn't take action.
The power of that human lord is definitely not something they can easily control!
Serge took a deep breath, glanced at the expressions of the people around him, and immediately knew how to face the human lord.
A smile appeared on his face, and he slowly stepped forward. Bloodhoof is the friendliest and most hospitable place.
