Starting from the Dragon Tribe

Lu Chen walked outside the mine and saw three dwarves approaching on the forest path.

The dwarves in this world are not dwarfs, but they are no more than 1.5 meters tall, usually about 1.4 meters tall.

Although he is short in stature, he is stout and is naturally a strong craftsman.

The leader of the dwarf is about 1.4 meters tall. He wears navy blue trousers of unknown material on his lower body and a white short vest on his upper body. His muscles are stretched to the point of bursting. His arms are thick, powerful and wide. There are calluses on the palms of my hands.

There are shallow wrinkles on his forehead, indicating that he is old. His red beard is tied into two braids underneath, which is also the source of his name.

When a dwarf is born, his parents will give him a nickname. When he reaches adulthood, he will be given a new name based on his characteristics, merits and reputation.

From this moment on, except for parents and relatives, others can no longer call an adult dwarf by his nickname, but can only call him by his first name to show respect.

The dwarves are very old-fashioned in this regard. If you call someone by the wrong name, even the most gentle and generous dwarves will get angry.

"Hahaha, Duke Godzilla, my friend, you still look so young."

When Chi Xu saw Lu Chen coming to greet him, he walked up with a big smile. The two red whips trembled and swayed. They didn't look ridiculous, but just highlighted his generosity.

"Elder Chixu, you look stronger. Have you built the artifact in your mind over the years?"

Lu Chen had done his homework in advance and had already thought of what he should say to say hello.

He had a good impression of the dwarves in this world, and the red-bearded elder in front of him was also the person who spoke for him when he was being tried.

According to Duke Godzilla’s memory, Elder Akashi met him when he went to the dwarves to discuss equipment. The two drank a lot, and Duke Godzilla also gave many ideas for building, so Elder Akashi Good impression of Duke Godzilla.

"Haha, don't mention this. The artifact is so easy to make. It just makes a lot of good wine. It's a pity that I didn't bring it with me when I went out in a hurry."

Akashi shook his head. He was going north this time to go to the Asiel Forest, but he was passing through the Warcraft Mountains, and the elves didn't like to drink.

Lu Chen led the way and said as he walked, "How have the dwarfs been these years?"

Speaking of this, Chisu also sighed, "It's also not easy. The coming of the abyss seems to be eroding this continent. Food is no longer growing in many places where we live. If we hadn't had food in stock a few years ago, there would be a famine now. "

Lu Chen brought Chi Xu and his two followers to a reception room he had prepared in advance. Although it was simple, it was already the best place in the mine, and it had good sound insulation.

After sitting down, Lu Chen spoke, "It seems that you have the same idea as me. If this continues, even if the Abyss does not break through the Great Wall, the continent of Aika will die slowly."

Lu Chen took the tea prepared by Gu Lanting. He couldn't do this kind of work. He was only suitable for supervising the mining of the supporters.

Akashi politely thanked him after taking the tea. Although the dwarves were rough, as an elder, Akashi was actually a person who understood etiquette. He also traveled across the continent when he was young, and his knowledge and knowledge were extraordinary.

"Well, in a few years it will be the orcs' turn to defend. They will be even further behind in terms of production. I'm afraid the next five hundred years will be very difficult."

Akashi took a sip of tea. Some water stains remained on his beard, but he didn't care.

Lu Chen winked at Gu Lanting, and Gu Lanting went out to guard in case anyone came close to eavesdrop.

Seeing this scene, Akashi knew that the other party must have something important to say to him. He smiled and said, "The two of them beside me are the most outstanding warriors of the dwarves. It doesn't matter what the Duke says."

Lu Chen said: "Actually, I have already responded to the food problem and am currently researching new seeds that can grow quickly on barren land."

The tea in Chisu's hand spilled some, and he was surprised, "Seriously?"

Then he looked a little enlightened, "No wonder the Beastman King retreated because of this, right?"

He heard about Duke Godzilla being released from prison, and also heard about the other party's mission to the west to negotiate with the orcs. When he learned that the Keya Empire did not hand over food, the orcs retreated, and he was still puzzled.

Unexpectedly, Duke Godzilla still holds such a sharp weapon in his hands. Indeed, if there are new seeds that can completely solve the food crisis, it is just a matter of temporary patience, and even the orcs can weigh it clearly.

"My old friend is still as wise as I remember."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, when the new seeds are researched, a copy will be given to the dwarves."

Akashi was moved in his heart. This is a strategic material. "Are there any conditions in exchange required?"

Lu Chen shook his head, "No need, it's just a proof of our friendship."

Akashi somewhat understood. It turned out that King Kuzilla didn't know about the new seeds. This was just Duke Godzilla's personal plan.

Akashi laughed heartily, "Then my old friend, if you need it in the future, you can come to the dwarves to find me, and we will build the best equipment for you."

He originally just stopped by to meet his old friend, but he didn't expect to gain such a big harvest. After returning, the Dwarf King will definitely not have any more insomnia if he gets this news.

"If you need."

Lu Chen smiled and said that he had already begun to make arrangements.

The orcs and dwarves on the Aika continent are all his potential allies. If the war situation with the abyss worsens in the future, he can try to obtain additional support.

As for the elves, they are really difficult to deal with.

According to Eriki, as long as the elves see humans, let alone entering the Ahir Forest, even if they are close to the edge, they may be killed.

He has now regained the Moon Wolf Clan. According to Anarius, they actually have a special connection with the Elf Clan. Lu Chen was thinking about whether he should take advantage of the Moon Wolf Clan and visit the Elf Clan.

He always felt a little uneasy without seeing Eri Yi's face.

And now, through some intelligence, he is basically certain that there should be another hidden reason behind the orc and human invasion of the Ahir Forest.

The aesthetics of the people of the Keya Empire in this world are very strange. They actually don't think the elves with pointed ears are good-looking. At that time, the overall strength of the human race was not stronger than that of the elves, and the continent was not as barren as it is today.

Therefore, the possibility of attacking the elves due to supplies, food, sexual desires, etc. can be ruled out.

As for the orcs, they were not driven by the lower body like a certain work he had secretly read from the treasure chest of the dead of a certain Chaos Space Explorer.

In the eyes of the orcs, humans and elves are... equally ugly.

They like furry creatures, which look ugly to them without hair or tail.

It was impossible for the orcs to attack the Asir Forest because they were short of food. Lu Chen didn't know about it before. After learning about the world in detail, he figured out the map sections.

Starting from the middle of the Great Wall, the first is the human race's Keya Empire, which is basically located in the center of the continent.

To the west of the Keya Empire is the grassland of the orcs, to the south is the Warcraft Mountains, and further south is the territory of the dwarves, and the farthest south is the Dragon Valley.

To the east of the empire is the vast Ahir Forest.

In other words, if the orcs want to attack the Aisir Forest, it is equivalent to running from the west to the east. They did not borrow the Daokoya Empire, but traveled through the plains south of the Warcraft Mountains and went around to attack the Aisir Forest. forest.

There is obviously an important reason for such a laborious and thankless task.

If they were really short of food and wanted to rob them, they should directly rob them from the human race that bordered them.

"Old friend, to be honest, I am going to the Aisir Forest this time. Do you need my help to carry the message?"

Akashi asked. He knew that Duke Godzilla's lover was the elf princess.

Lu Chen was silent for a moment, "...No, I will go in person."

Akashi frowned, "Old friend, the elves are not easy to mess with. They will use magic to hang you up and roast you."

Seeing Lu Chen's calm eyes, he finally sighed, "Oh, you guys really have a bad fate."

Chi Xu wanted to advise Lu Chen not to go to the elves, because he was afraid of another war between humans and elves.

The man in front of me even killed the guardian dragon for the elf princess. Driven by the pain of lovesickness, it was hard to say whether he would go to the elves to rob someone.

And he could also see that the Duke was not giving up. When he said that he would go to their place to build equipment, although his tone was relaxed, he could tell that the other party was serious.

To build equipment for himself?

Of course not, it can only be for his new... army.

Thinking of this, Chisu asked with interest: "On the way here, I heard that the mine was dragged into the seal of the Moon God. Now that you have come out, does that mean..."

Lu Chen nodded. There is nothing to hide. I am afraid that in a few days, everyone in the world will know, "The Moon Wolf Clan has come out now and is spreading in the Magical Beast Mountain Range to hunt for magical beasts."

Even though Akashi had already guessed the answer, he still couldn't help but feel a little emotional, "It seems that my old friend is not far away from being active on the battlefield again."

He personally felt that no matter how stupid King Kuzilla was, he would not let this power go unused. After all, guarding the Great Wall would kill people. Wouldn't it be good to have Duke Godzilla come back and lead the Moon Wolf clan there.

"I'd like to lend you some good words."

Lu Chen was not so optimistic. He now knew very well that this "younger brother" was just a naive and incompetent child. Unless he put a knife on his neck or was forced to have no way out by the current situation, King Kusla would There will be no compromise.

He is not in a hurry to go to the dwarf tribe to forge weapons for the time being. When he regains military power and uses the moon wolf tribe to form an army again, he will then tailor them for soldiers and moon wolves.

The dwarves are very trustworthy and value friendship, and I believe they will not cheat themselves on processing fees.

Dong dong dong——

While the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves in the house, there was a hurried sound on the door.

Gu Lanting would not make such a stupid mistake and let someone come over, so he could only knock on the door himself and it was urgent.

"Enter."

After Lu Chen spoke, Gu Lanting pushed the door open and entered with a solemn expression.

"Your Excellency, the Great Wall...has been lost!"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. He never expected that such a thing would happen suddenly.

Chi Xu and his two subordinates in the room also looked shocked, because Gu Lanting was talking about the fall of the Great Wall, not the emergency!

Over the years, since the Great Wall was successfully built, it has been in danger many times, but it has never been lost.

Like an iron wall, it protects all living beings in the Aika continent.

"When did this happen?"

Lu Chen's voice was low.

Gu Lanting's eyes were gloomy, "We were in a panic yesterday morning and lost control early this morning. Now the Abyss army has rushed into the northern border. Commander Reinhardt is leading the remaining troops to fight and retreat to evacuate the people in the northern border."

The iron handrail in Lu Chen's hand was deformed by his pinching, "Why do we only know now?"

He was shocked by the ferocity of the sudden attack from the abyss, and was also furious that they only knew about such a major event now, which meant that someone in the capital suppressed this matter, and it was not until today that the news spread.

After Lei Ze, who stayed in the royal capital, found out, he reported it to him.

King Kusla, are you kidding about the lives of the human race and the Aika continent?

It's a time like this. The first thing I don't think about is how to deal with the abyss invasion, but how to hide it from me?

"How could it be breached? Don't the humans have three million defenders on the Great Wall?"

Chixu looked worried and very puzzled.

It's not that King Kusla is incompetent or that the Great Wall's army is weak. They are all veterans of hundreds of battles. How could they be broken at the drop of a hat in just one day's work?

"We don't know the specific information yet, but Lao Lang said that the Abyss' army was huge this time, and many lord-level creatures appeared. They attacked desperately. Although there were heavy casualties, they broke through the Great Wall."

Gurantin explained.

Lu Chen was depressed. The current situation was completely out of his plan. He planned to use the northern border as a base.

But now that the Great Wall is broken, the biggest disaster for the residents in the north may not be famine, but the raging abyss creatures.

"What's the situation now, how many of us are left?"

Lu Chen knew that the Great Wall's army could not be completely dead. He had met Gil Reinhardt and later checked the other party's information. Although this man was not in the same camp as himself, he was indeed a capable general.

Coming from the Reinhardt family, known as the Shield of the Empire, Gil is undoubtedly very proud. This kind of person would rather die in battle than run away. He should have a planned retreat.

"Rumors are spreading all over the capital right now. They are so confusing that it is impossible to analyze their authenticity. But the worst-case scenario is that there may be less than a million troops left alive on the Great Wall."

Gu Lanting couldn't say for sure.

Lu Chen pondered slightly. He was not surprised that the city fell with only one million left. He had also led troops in battles. It didn't mean that the city would only be broken after everyone died.

The Great Wall covers a wide area, and each key pass usually only has a hundred thousand defenders. The scouts risk their lives every day to explore north. After sensing the intention of the abyss to attack, they can collectively mobilize for defense.

In an actual war, the troops invested by both sides in a local battlefield usually do not exceed 500,000. If the number of troops is larger, the rest will be just a show.

In the face of Abyss's massive attack, if it was a defensive battle, if the Great Wall defenders suffered more than two-thirds of their casualties, it could basically be said to be defeated, which meant that Abyss had definitely reached the top of the city.
