Chapter 59 Hatred
"There used to be many dwarven strongholds north of the Everlook Mountains. Now they are either sealed and abandoned, or occupied by some enemies. In the north of the city of a thousand peaks, we hardly get any support from the dwarven clans, but they left remains a very valuable resource”

By dwarf standards, their armed condition is very poor. Only a few dwarf warriors are equipped with neat equipment, and most of the escaped dwarves have only simple armor and weapons.

Every dwarf family has one or more sets of precious armor passed down from generation to generation, but the orcs and goblins attacked the city suddenly, and many of them didn't have time to arm themselves at all, so they could only grab some weapons for errands nearby .

The population of dwarves is extremely rare, and while the fertility rate is low, the male to female ratio of the dwarves has reached four to one, and the growth period is very long. Various conditions restrict each adult dwarf. wasteful, their combat prowess is worthy of the best armament.

Bourne's plan is not complicated. It is to look for opportunities from those abandoned dwarf fortresses, and recycle resources if there are resources. If the condition of the fortress is acceptable, it is not impossible to consider temporary residence.

"I know that your hearts are very confused, but now is not the time to be confused. In the kingdom where tens of thousands of dwarves live, the number of dwarves who successfully broke through that day is only a few thousand. Even if you are so sad and guilty that you want to die now, you have to wait until Let’s talk about it after things stabilize. What we need to do now is to stabilize the situation, then regroup, seek support from other dwarf clans, and finally seek revenge on those orc scum.”

The warhammer in Bourne's hand slammed on the table, and a clerk wearing a fur hat beside him understood, turned around and took out a heavy and luxuriously decorated book from the box.

"The book of the great hatred of the Greybeard Kingdom is here. This hatred will be passed on from generation to generation. The few of us present are all witnesses. I will not have another target until the hatred is eliminated."

Hatred is an extremely important part of dwarven society. Dwarves value oaths and hatred far more than other races, and will record all kinds of hatred.

The full-time clerk followed the sound case law and marked every hatred with a reasonable due price. The price for the elimination of hatred ranges from compensation for losses to blood debts.

Bourne is also proficient in dwarf case law and has a deep understanding of dwarf traditions. Without the clerk saying anything, he drew a short dagger from his waist and swung the knife to cut his finger. Blood flowed from it. Bourne used the blood Dip in a special mineral pigment and start writing articles in dwarven script.

"The hatred of subjugation will never be forgotten, and the goblins and orcs should pay with their blood for what they have done."

The eyes of the surrounding dwarves were fixed on the book in Bourne's hands. Their eyes became bloodshot with anger, and they drew out their daggers at the same time, leaving marks on the book of hatred with their own blood.

Bourne is an experienced fighter and blacksmith, but he is not such a brilliant speaker or politician. Faced with the current situation where the hearts of the people are somewhat scattered, he chose the simplest method - to find a clear and feasible solution for everyone. The goal is to divert everyone's attention and gather everyone's power to one point.

The dwarves present are all experienced and seasoned fighters, so they don't need Bernd to say anything, just mention it briefly, and they will naturally understand.

Glancing around the dwarves, Bourne nodded slightly: "We will camp here next, Gray Eagle Fortress is nearby, and we will prepare for the next move after simple repairs."

Because Sula is very big, it is not very easy for Tang Zhao to find other goblin settlements.

The dryad remembered the approximate location and provided him with a simple map. The dryant's painters were several grades better than the goblin's, concise, vivid and easy to understand.

However, having a map is one thing, and finding a way to reach the location on the map is another.

They had to traverse dozens of kilometers of forest, among which there were many powerful hostile creatures, such as the giants and groups of griffins that Tang Zhao saw on the road, and even a land lizard shark with a strong appetite.

Tang Zhao can deal with these creatures, but it is not without risk, so unless he really has to fight, Tang Zhao will not take the initiative to provoke these extremely dangerous creatures.

The main purpose is to find the goblin settlements rather than hunting. Tang Zhao doesn't want to find an opponent who is too risky for himself, so as not to delay the business.

It can be considered that hard work paid off, Tang Zhao finally found the second batch of fine creatures in Insula after a few days.

It was a small party on the hunt, nomads in the wilderness.

Just like those myths and legends in the previous life, they have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse, wear simple clothes, and hunt with stone spears and simple throwing spears.

The moment Tang Zhao was discovered, the atmosphere between the two parties could be said to be tense, and intelligent creatures with normal brains, who saw an eight-meter-long lizard lying in front of their eyes, would be one of the few creatures that would not be nervous or frightened Very few.

Fortunately, Tang Zhao made preparations in advance and brought Cynthia and a few goblins over.

Although the relationship between centaurs and elves is very ordinary, they are the same elves and will not attack or harm each other.

After hearing Cynthia introduce herself in Mu language, Tang Zhao didn't get angry with Centaur anymore, instead he started to use his psychic ability to communicate with Centaur in a simple way.
