Chapter 96 Concerning Bloodlines

"We would like to, but the situation really doesn't allow it. Those elves also have their own enemies to face. At the same time, the distance from the southeast of the mainland to the northwest of the mainland is too long. Those guys are really out of reach."

The expressions of the elves in front of him were obviously unnatural, and they were obviously hiding some things, but Tang Zhao currently has no motivation to inquire about these privacy, as long as he knows that the elves will not come to help.

Tang Zhao analyzed the information he had so far, and didn't say any more. Instead, Elena looked him up from time to time, with unstoppable curiosity in her eyes.

"Your Excellency Carlos, you have asked so many questions, can you answer some questions for me?"

[As long as it is within the scope of my knowledge, you can ask questions. 】

"What kind of dragon are you a descendant of? Although your scales are black, you don't have the iconic spikes and horns of a black dragon, and you don't even have the characteristics of any kind of dragon. This behavior is very strange."

Possessing a high degree of intelligence, a huge body with superior strength, and a appearance similar to a large lizard. When mentioning these keywords, most creatures on the mainland will immediately think of giant dragons and those dragon-born creatures that inherit their blood.

[Since I don't have the characteristics of the dragon family, it is obvious that I have nothing to do with those creatures. Isn't this obvious? 】

Tang Zhao's current strength is not enough, and he keeps a respectful distance from most dragon-born creatures, claiming to be a "noble" dragon-born creature like a kobold. In his opinion, this kind of thing is unnecessary, and it will cause trouble for the upper body .

"But."

Elena was very surprised, but in the end she kept her mouth shut and didn't ask any more questions.

Many dwarf outposts and dwarf patrols can be seen along the road. Since the dwarves had been notified in advance, they did not choose to confront the elves when they found the elf team. Several dwarf guides led them through the checkpoints and came to the Under Fort Holland.

Now the entire fortress has undergone earth-shaking changes: the damaged city walls have been repaired neatly, the gates have been recast with steel as the main body, there are many shooting ports on the walls, and ballistas or catapults can be seen every 30 meters. Tang Zhao even caught a glimpse of a few metal tubes that looked like cannons.

The above ground part of the fortress is not big, the dwarf warriors can defend the entire city wall, and by the way, they can leave a few reserve teams just in case, these people are just enough to guard the fortress.

In fact, when the dwarves build the fortress, they will carefully consider their limited population. Not to mention the exquisite design and reasonable configuration, they will also deliberately build the ground part smaller to reduce the defensive area, so that the pressure will not be too great.

Of course, except for some cities that existed in the golden age of dwarves, these fortresses often have larger above-ground parts. There are not only barracks and weapon depots on the ground, but also residential areas and even commercial areas.

The living ancestors would be respected in any dwarf kingdom including the gray dwarves in the Underdark, and the coalition forces didn't know the situation here, so the commander in charge of commanding the army was still the old dwarf Bourne of the gray bearded kingdom.

There are also living ancestors like him and even the heirs of the royal family in the reinforcements. It is conceivable that it is not easy for Bourne to fight for the command, but the dwarves are good at this, and there is almost no internal friction among themselves.

All disputes will be resolved in the military council, and the dwarves will speak out directly if they are unhappy about something, and will not keep it in their hearts and cause a gap between the parties. This is a very good tradition.

Speaking of the matter in front of us, even though there were not many people, Bourne was very excited about the arrival of the reinforcements. He even held a simple welcome party for the elves as a witness of the friendship, unity and cooperation between the two parties .

The truth of these words is somewhat difficult to say, but what is certain is that in the next period of time, the dwarves and elves will work together to deal with the threat of hobgoblins.

With the addition of troops from the dwarven princes, Bourne was finally able to do things freely, and he first launched a large-scale attack on the remaining goblins underground.

Originally, those goblins were worried about Bourne and his dwarf militiamen. Now that the dwarves have a large number of well-trained fighters to supplement them, they don't have to be afraid of these stragglers underground.

Armed to the teeth, the dwarves advanced little by little in the barricade, quickly cleared out most of the remaining goblins underground, and sent people to find out the structure of the underground fortress in time, and guarded the secret entrances and exits.

This time, the hidden danger of being attacked by the enemy is basically eliminated, and they only need to defend the fortress.It was no easy task indeed, but it was a war the Dwarves had to fight to remain in the mountains north of Insula.

[It's really not good to disturb me at such a critical moment, but I do need the help of the dwarves. 】

The division of labor has already been done, and Tang Zhao is not idle, but really needs the help of the dwarves, so he brought the elf ranger here just by the way.

"Of course, you can just say what you need. You are a friend of our dwarves. We will try our best to meet reasonable demands."

Bourne slapped his chest happily, without asking what it was, and boldly agreed to Tang Zhao's request.
