The knight in the abyss

Chapter 451 Conflict
In the next few days, Tijana remained very busy.She would come to Hagrid Manor in the evening to strengthen the illusion that shrouded the manor, but she could only stay with Lancelot for a short while.Both of them enjoyed the short time together during the day. Even after the illusion reinforcement was completed, she would still come to Lancelot at this time of day, chatting and taking a walk in the beautiful garden together.

Most of the time, the succubus lord said, and the human knight listened. Provide some ideas.

The Dwarf Legion, which has received much attention, was established amidst the chaos and controversy.The final commander elected was a duergar named Todak Stonedron.Generally speaking, these bald, sullen, gray-skinned subdwarves don't get on well with their cousins, but the former duergar general was an exception because he converted to Moradin, and that's where he was exiled to the Abyss. reason.

Since coming to Shuangqiao Town as a fugitive slave, Todak has lived here for 70 years. He participated in the defense of Shuangqiao Town several times before, and his command ability has long been recognized by other dwarves.Moreover, as a gray dwarf, his political stance is more pragmatic, and he is not so resistant to directly serving the demon lord. He is the best candidate after considering all factors.

And among his four lieutenants there is a very special candidate: Werther, the priest of Moradin.Tijana was originally very opposed to this candidate, but Lancelot reminded her not to forget the original purpose of establishing this army: it was not to conquer more territories, nor to suppress possible dwarf rebellions, but to serve as a military force in the Twin Bridges. Power that provides defense when the town is under attack.Accepting a Moradin cleric as adjutant to the Legion would neither change the purpose of the army nor change its command structure, the only thing it would do was make the dwarves less resistant.

The succubus lord was reluctantly persuaded, but she demanded strict secrecy from the dwarves, and she would not publicly acknowledge the priest's command status in any way.Furthermore, should the news ever get out, she will not hesitate to claim ignorance of it and will banish any dwarves who hold positions in the Church of Moradin.

There is no way, the succubus lord must consider the political impact of this matter, she does not want to give the surrounding forces a reason to unite against her, and she also has to consider the feelings of the demon residents in Shuangqiao Town.

Lancelot played the role of a lobbyist throughout the negotiation process. On the one hand, he had to persuade Tijana to accept the candidate recommended by the dwarf, and on the other hand, he had to persuade the dwarf to agree to the conditions offered by Tijana.He hadn't done anything like this before, but fortunately, the dwarves were straightforward, so he didn't need to be very diplomatic, as long as he stated clearly the relationship between them, it was enough to be convincing.

There is no way not to accept it. After all, this is Tijana's territory. People have to bow their heads under the eaves. To be honest, the conditions offered by the succubus lords are good enough. This is not only to allow them to hide under the eaves. Yu also agreed with them to enter the house.

After the selection of the commander was finalized, the regiment's training was quickly organized.Tijana very forcefully deprived the dwarves of most of their rest time. She asked each dwarf to go to the military barracks for at least three hours of training after finishing their day's work, until their last bit of physical strength was exhausted. Let them go back to rest.Naturally, the dwarves complained a lot about this, but that was not something Lancelow could solve by reasoning.

News from the Volcano front forced Tijana to make such a harsh decision.After the attack was blocked, the devil's side mobilized more troops and regained the upper hand in the battle. General Balrog's control area became smaller and smaller day by day.However, Grazte, the Lord of Darkness, has not sent reinforcements to his general for a long time. It is said that the war between him and the Queen of Succubus, Meicanxiet, will break out at any time. In this case, the army of Volcano Fortress will not be recalled. Not bad, the two abyss lords are unlikely to weaken the defense of their territory.

Every time Tijana came to Hagrid Manor, Lancelot could feel the growing anxiety in the succubus lord's heart.There was nothing he could do about it, he could only provide comfort to Tijana as much as possible, so that she could get a moment of tranquility in that beautiful garden.

Of course, his own cultivation has not fallen behind, but the growth of a cultivator's strength is measured in units of years, unless there is another battle that is on the verge of death like the battle against the Giant Skull Demon and Pascole Otherwise, it is unlikely to break through the realm again in the short term.

At noon that day, Lancelot was manipulating two sword shadows to fight each other in the underground training room, when he suddenly heard Brutal anxiously calling his name outside the door.Lancelow once explained that he should try not to disturb him when he was practicing in the secret room. Although the young dwarf was a bit reckless, he always listened to him. It seemed that something urgent was really happening.

Lancelot scattered the sword shadows, feeling a slight tingle between his brows, and manipulating two sword shadows at the same time was a bit heavy on his spiritual sense, but only in this way can he achieve the purpose of training.He opened the stone door of the secret room, and found that the dwarf was standing in front of him, leaning on his knees, panting.

"What's the matter?" Lancelot held Brutal's hand, and injected a trace of real energy into the dwarf, helping him to quickly stabilize his aura.

"Ti...Tijana has clashed with the artisan committee!" The dwarf pulled Lancelot and was about to run out, "Brother, go and persuade her!"

"What?" Lancelot frowned, reached out and picked up Brutal directly, "Where is it?"

"Let me down, I can..." The dwarf just wanted to protest, but was taken aback by Lancelow's sudden outburst, and subconsciously hugged Lancelow's waist tightly like a sloth, "Iron ...the largest building in the Blacksmiths Quarter!"

Lancelot's feet were flying like flying, and he passed the streets of Shuangqiao Town at a high speed like a rainbow light. Fortunately, it was daytime and there were not many pedestrians on the road, so he could gallop as fast as he wanted.

In less than 2 minutes, he ran nearly a mile and arrived in front of the meeting place of the Craftsman Committee.This is a circular bunker with a hall big enough to accommodate all the dwarves in Twinbridge Town, and there are some smaller rooms around it, which can be used as storage rooms, offices, or other functions.

Following Brutal's instructions, Lancelot came to a room on the left side of the hall, which was a small exhibition hall to display the most outstanding works of craftsmen.When they were still thirty feet away from the door, Tijana's angry roar was heard:

"Everything in this room is my property! Who gave you the right to take that thing away? This is an unforgivable crime, someone will be skinned!"

　Thanks to Langyazhi for the reward, and to the two book friends ЛИ and ygy1ygy1 for their monthly tickets, thank you!
