The knight in the abyss

Chapter 900 What Happened

Compared with the last time I came, the temple has obviously been expanded. The main hall has been expanded by at least three times, and there are many more rooms on the wall.Even so, it still looks very crowded here—at the moment, there are almost a thousand dwarves stuffed in the temple. Bread, hard-baked pancakes, are all typical dry marching rations, easy to store, and at the same time avoid any unnecessary appetite for the bearer.

On the altar of the temple, a dwarf priest was speaking to the crowd in the hall. He was talking about the dwarven racial tradition of perseverance and fearlessness, but when he saw Lancelow and his party walk in, the priest immediately Jumped off the altar and walked towards them.

"Oh, my God, Barend! Is that you?" Lancelow recognized Werther, one of the dwarves he met when he first arrived in the abyss. "It must be the manifestation of the great Father God, who will You sent us to..."

"It was Sir Lancelot who brought me back from the land of death..." Barend shook his head emotionally, "But it's hard to say whether Father God pushed me from behind..."

"What's going on here?" Lancelot was still in shock, "I thought all of you..."

"He died in Shuangqiao Town, right?"

Another group of dwarves approached, and Lancelot recognized Todak Stoneshield, a bald gray dwarf who was also the commander of the dwarf army.He came with Braunanwell, chief member of the Craftsman Council, several other council members whom Lancelow couldn't name, and all the members of the Frostforge clan in Twinbridge.

"I do have a lot of questions." Lancelow and the others sat down at an empty long table, "About what happened that day..."

----------------------

"There was almost no warning of the attack, except for one thing - the day before, Prince Kairon of Volcanic Fortress sent an envoy to ask Tijana if she would like to become a concubine of Lord Wu'an."

A sudden anger rose from the bottom of Lancelot's heart, but he forced himself to sit on the stool and listen.

"Of course, our lord refused without hesitation..." Todak Shidun glanced at Lancelot uneasily. It's an interesting thing, and others didn't pay much attention to it, after all, Graz'zt's lust is well known, but in hindsight, this may be an extremely cryptic warning from a partner for many years."

"Our defense focus has always been in the direction of the Volcano Fortress. We are not only guarding against the devil, but also those unreliable allies. If Graz'zt's army arrives through the permanent portal of the Volcano Fortress, we will know immediately .But the Abyss Lord launched an attack from an unexpected direction - Oasis Fort, we can say that we are not prepared for this..."

"Well, isn't it good for us to just call Lord Wu'an by his name?" Kara Lin looked around nervously, "Maybe he can hear..."

"Don't be nervous, my scholar friend." Aramiel patted Kara Lin on the back, "This is an unabandoned temple, and the interior of the temple is under the effect of a holy residence. Except for the owner of the temple, no There's any supernatural way of knowing what's going on inside."

"You mentioned Oasis Castle just now. I have been to that place before and brought back the legendary pickaxe of Dyne Frostbeard." Lancelow thought of the annoying male succubus, and his doubts were more than anger. , "But the lord of Oasis Castle, 'Necrophilia' Molo, is loyal to Mecanxiet, why would he assist the succubus queen's sworn enemy, Grazte?"

"I don't know." The duergar shrugged. "Treachery, I guess?"

Lancelot nodded with a gloomy expression, motioning for the other party to continue.

"The attack came too suddenly, and the defenders didn't have time to make a correct response. Moreover, in the face of an army led by the abyss lord, there is actually no correct response. It's just that we didn't know that at the beginning. "The gray dwarf sighed. "Although the defenders of Twinbridge are well-equipped and well-trained, the enemy has an absolute superiority in numbers. Absolute superiority, do you understand what I mean, ser? Every inch of land is occupied by demons, if anyone tells me that all the tanar'ri in the abyss have come, I will believe it..."

"You know, the direction of Oasis Castle is the market area, and the blacksmith area is on the other side of the city. When the alarm sounded, everyone was working. We completed the arming and assembly as quickly as possible, and then rushed to the battlefield. But when we were halfway there, several sections of the city wall had fallen, and the enemy poured into the city and started hacking and killing in the streets..."

"What about Tijana?" Lancelot asked the question he was most concerned about, "Where was she then?"

"In the sky," interposed Chief Commissioner Braunenwell, "and the three-headed dragon."

"Yes, one is green, one is blue, and the other is black. They should be the ones that came back with you last time, Sir." Todak Shidun nodded, "The defenders fought very tenaciously. But there were too many enemies, and the scene seemed to be buried alive. Our lord immediately used all the means to suppress the bottom of the box, such as the giant saw wheel flying from the gap in the city wall, buried at the bottom of the Styx, which can The metal traps that set off the waves, and of course her devastating spells. This immediately caused a terrible carnage and seemed to turn the tide, but..."

"That's actually just eliminating the cannon fodder sent by Grazte, isn't it?" Lancelot sighed, "The tactics of demons are always so straightforward..."

"Yes, although we saw hope at that time, Graz'zt immediately extinguished that hope." The former commander of the Dwarf Legion lowered his head, "When those organs exhausted the stored energy, when the dragon The breath of the dragon could no longer be breathed out from the mouth of our lord. When our lord had no physical strength to continue flying, and the corpses of the cannon fodder almost filled the river Styx, the lord Wu'an was able to throw in his main force with ease - the iron cavalry demon stepped on The corpses of the cannon fodder rushed directly to the city wall, followed by a large army of berserker demons, plus six terrifying Balor demons..."

"Six Barlows?" Lancelot nodded bitterly, "So, they are the murderers who killed Tijana..."

"No, those Balrogs are targeting the defenders who are still resisting on the city wall. They have left the honor of defeating the Lord of Shuangqiao Town to their masters." The gray dwarf raised his head and looked directly at the human knight. "You Isn't it weird how we survived a siege like that?"
