Chapter 761 (1/2)
The sun is high and the sky is blue and white.
With the roar of the Falcon, the wind that rolled up the clouds swept over the mountains and the dome, and the misty white clouds surrounded the towering mountain que; Under the sky, there are hundreds of thousands of mountains.
On the mountain wall, a gray fortress stood in front, like a huge city gate, more like a huge helmet in shape, and the 100000 mountains behind her were the city.
Land of dwarves, north gate of Yunling Kingdom, silver helmet mountain.
It is said that this is the land where the dwarves first made their fortune. They built the first fortress and the first mine. Copper, iron, gold... And secret silver were found from the depths of the earth.
It was not until they multiplied and the mineral deposits began to dry up that the footprints of this race really began to spread all over the surrounding mountains and hills; Dig winding paths between mountains and rivers, connect fortresses with corridors and mines, and build their palaces on the cloud peak in the center of the mountain.
When the mountains and rivers were all owned, the dwarves also tried to expand their colonies; In the north, they established a series of outposts to guard against the looting of centaurs from the Gobi and tried to raise livestock on the nearby grassland.
In the northwest, they attacked Byrne, once controlled ten of the later Byrne's thirteen territories, established a stable colony, and ruled the Byrne people with large farms, mines and high-pressure control... Until the war of uprising burned all over Byrne, four generations of Turin raised flags to resist, and then gradually declined.
Although after the establishment of the Empire, the dwarves are no longer the grand occasion of the past; Curled up between mountains and rivers, no more land, but the solid Yunling kingdom is still prohibitive to outsiders.
Heavily armed dwarf Sentinels were distributed on the towering towers and walls, looking at the boundless horizon in the distance - the spacious walls, but not even a hundred guards.
With the rise of the rebellion, although the supreme King's army has not yet reached the silver helmet mountain, the whole Yunling Kingdom has begun to launch, all the city fortresses have begun to gather and mobilize, and the encirclement and suppression front has been formed.
The silver helmet mountain is naturally the same. Most of its troops are used to block the corridors and paths between the mountains, block the tunnels leading to various fortresses, and send heavy troops to guard it.
Nominally, silver helmet mountain is the north gate of Yunling Kingdom, which monitors Boyi in the big green sea and their ”relatives” Bain people. In fact, it has been relaxed many years ago and has become a trade distribution center for Boyi and dwarves.
Horseback people are not interested in the mountains that cannot be grazed. If Bain wants to attack Yunling Kingdom, he can go directly south. There is no need to detour to yinhelmet mountain.
When the Centaur invaded the green sea, the original trade did not increase but decreased - the Centaur tribe did not know how to forge, so they could only exchange spoils for supplies, and meat products, dairy products and leather for weapons and armor made of steel.
As a result, the silver helmet mountain, which was surrounded and blocked on three sides, did not immediately cause unrest. On the contrary, while the supreme King's army had not arrived, it successively attacked and retreated a small group of troops of several fortresses, achieved a series of victories and greatly increased morale.
Therefore, the ”unimportant” northern defense line naturally has only a small number of scattered soldiers and sentries, which is enough to maintain the supply line with the Centaur tribe.
Moreover, so far, no army has ever captured any fortress in Yunling kingdom.
So far
Thinking of this, the expressionless dwarf sentry straightened his ”three headed body” waist and raised his chin proudly.
The cold wind swept the territory, and a cold chill made him shiver suddenly, and inadvertently focused his eyes on the distant horizon.
Then he was stunned.
A huge piece of smoke and dust came from the grassland in the distance and gushed out from the horizon, like a creeping monster hovering on the earth. The shaking sound of the earth can be heard in the distance.
The sound became louder and clearer, from the sudden vibration to the continuous waves, which came from a distance.
The narrow eyed sentry looked into the distance at the dense black spots ”emerging” on the horizon, and his face showed some doubt.
Why... Those Centaur barbarians won another war so soon and came back with their booty?
But the next second he doesn't think so.
The dwarf sentry's eyes widened, so shocked that he couldn't believe what he saw.
