Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Stone Hill was originally a place where dwarves lived. The southern part of the kingdom has a complex terrain. In addition to the plains, there are hills, mountains, swamps and other terrains. Humans occupy the largest area of ​​the plains. The swamps are dominated by trolls and lizardmen. The principle of hills belongs to the mixed area of ​​hills and plains. There are not only places where food can be grown, but also large and small mines, which are enough for dwarves to continuously mine.

The relationship between dwarves and humans is average. Humans have also tried the idea of ​​the original ore vein of the stone mound at the beginning, but the dwarves are really difficult to deal with. These guys are natural heavy infantry. Thicker than human thighs, they are basically long horizontally. The power of dwarves is even stronger than that of orcs. A dwarf who holds a warhammer and wears strong armor has better combat ability than orcs, and there is little difference between men and women, and everyone can wear armor. Going into battle, more than one million dwarves were able to dispatch half a million armored soldiers, armed like hedgehogs.

The fertility rate of the key dwarves is not high, the population has always remained within a stable range, and there is not much expansion ambition, and the conflict with humans is not big. The exchange is mainly based on transactions.

The dwarves need the wine and some commodities supplied by the human world. Humans need the ore of the Stone Hill and the armor and weapons made by the dwarves. There are occasional conflicts, but peace is the main priority for a long time. With these foundations here, this time Paley I just sent someone with some gifts, trying to win over the dwarves as a force against the orcs.

The main forces of the three major corps in the south have all been transferred to the north. In addition to the garrison, there are only the private armies of the nobles. In addition to the armed forces of Paley’s men, the garrison corps in the major cities still have some fighting power. In addition to continuously strengthening the strength of his own men, Paley In addition, it also hopes to enhance the strength against the orcs by winning over races like dwarves. It's just that the dwarf still had some doubts for a while, and did not respond to Paley's kindness for the time being.

At this time, in the Plain of Stone Hill, the royal court of the dwarves was discussing the news from the human messenger.

This royal court is completely in a mountain range, and the voice is inexplicably amplified here. With the unique loud voice of dwarves, they speak like a quarrel.

"King! If what humans say is true, we may still need to cooperate with humans!"

"Humph! These humans are very cunning. I'm afraid I'll be deceived when I cooperate with them."

"I think these humans are very good, and the wine they gave is good!"

"Grumbling..."

It was another gulp of wine. It was amazing that this group of dwarves could drink at such a serious occasion as a royal court meeting.

"Brown! Leave some for Lao Tzu!"

"Okay, what's it like, you have to drink it after talking about it!"

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){} After chatting a few words, the dwarf king couldn't stand it anymore, he patted the chair and stopped the few patriarchs who were still drinking. .

The government of the dwarves is rather strange. Although there is a king of dwarves, they are divided into seven clans.

The dwarf king was elected among the chiefs of the seven major clans. The current dwarf king Norton was previously the chief of the Blackrock clan. The reason why he could be elected as the dwarf king is very simple. This person is quite reliable, at least for a meeting. don't drink alcohol.

With such a chaotic political system, the dwarves have not experienced any major civil strife, which is a benefit of this group being relatively mindless. On weekdays, when the clan chiefs of various clans have a meeting and drink a drink, he will turn a blind eye. After all, he is also greedy, but now when discussing such an important matter, this group of people also drink, which makes Norton a little angry. .

After realizing that Norton was really angry, the following few dwarf patriarchs calmed down a little and turned their energy back to the meeting.

"King, I don't think we need to pay attention to the human beings. We don't care whether the orcs are coming. Even if they drive away the human beings and become the masters outside, it has nothing to do with us dwarves. If they dare to attack the original idea of ​​the stone hill, they will Ask the warhammer in our hands to agree or not!"

"That's right! King, let the humans and the orcs fight, it's not about the dwarves."

"At most, for the sake of these wines, let's send them some weapons and armor."

The forging ability of dwarves is higher than that of human beings. They are almost all born blacksmiths. Their sturdy arms have a lot of advantages over humans. In addition to being more skilled, they also master certain metal formulas. The dwarves forged sharper weapons and stronger armor, making them popular with humans.

"If you think about it again, orcs may not be as easy to talk as humans. Orcs are not only enemies of humans. Five hundred years ago, orcs were also enemies of dwarves. If orcs came, our dwarves' life would definitely be more difficult than it is now. "

"Does the king actually know what happened 500 years ago? What happened 500 years ago?"

"Five hundred years ago, the people living outside Shiqiuyuan were not humans, but a group of orcs. At that time, the dwarves not only had to build weapons and equipment for the orcs for free, but also handed over food to the orcs. The wine is also handed in."

More than 500 years ago, before the birth of Aragorn, it was when the Orc Kingdom was at its peak. The population was four or five times that of today, and it received a lot of elven heritage, treating many races, including humans and dwarves, as vassals. , after all, in the low-magic period, a race like the orcs that can live and be strong has a great advantage. If the human beings do not have a single Aragorn, the orcs can continue to falter.

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){} "What, the brewed wine has to be handed in, this is too much!"

"Yes, we don't have enough wine ourselves!"

"And this kind of thing, beat him up!"

Originally, they were dwarves who were still interested, but when they heard it, they suddenly became angry, as if they were going to fight the orcs.

Only Norton pressed his brows and looked at the speechless look below. He really wanted to make a rule that no dwarves would be allowed to drink during the royal court meeting in the future.

"I sent the human messenger back temporarily. I mean, if we don't want the orcs to defeat the humans, we must be prepared to send troops."

"However, Wang, without the Wang Shield, the armies of the seven major clans cannot leave the Plain of Stone Hills~www.readwn.com~ After talking for a long time, finally a sober dwarf thought of the key to the problem. Knowing the secret, the dwarves are cursed by the elves. Before no one picks up the dwarf king shield, the dwarf army cannot leave the stone hill, otherwise the whole race will suffer disaster.

"I've been thinking about it for so long, and I always feel that the elves lied to us about this matter. The elves just want us dwarves to stay in the Plain of Stone Hills to build weapons for them."

"You can't talk nonsense. My Axe and Hammer clan has passed on this rule since its ancestors... fathers, and there will never be any fakes."

"Yes, the armies of the seven major clans cannot leave the Plain of Stone Hills until the true king who takes up the king's shield appears."

"Over the years, the only record of picking up the king's shield is the elves, and now the elves are all extinct..."

Norton is a little taller than the other dwarves. He has already faintly realized that the dwarves seem to have been deceived by the elves. Although he has not replied to Paley's messenger for the time being, he is actually inclined to send troops to cooperate with humans. Now he is in Do work for other dwarven chieftains.

But the purer the race, the greater the reverence for the tradition. Like these dwarf patriarchs, they didn't even think about why only the elves have taken up the dwarf king shield. They only know that tradition is tradition and cannot break the law, Norton said. Others were fine, as soon as the soldiers raised their heads, they shook their heads like a rattle.

Norton had no choice, so he could only ask each clan to build more equipment of suitable size for humans, hoping that humans would be able to support the beasts for a while longer.

Paley, who is still sending messengers to convince the dwarves to send troops, still doesn't know that his plan has been given to Ka's death by an inexplicable tradition...
