Chapter 1919: Chapter 640: The Story of the Fortress of Courage Is Over? Hah, That Doesn’t Even Count as a Beginning!
The Vampire Female Knight answered quietly:
“The Earth Priests have looked into it; those two positions have been tunneled by Gnolls underground, and they can launch surprise attacks from below at any ti. The Priests think we should collapse the two positions to prevent the Wolf People from using those passages.”
“Collapse it? What a foolish idea! The Silver Dwarfs have been at peace for too long, their thinking has regressed—utterly stupid like dung beetles underground, rolled around all day only to give this pile of garbage advice?”
Lord Hether cursed with the unique profanity of the Shield Dwarfs:
“Because Gnolls dug tunnels, should I voluntarily abandon two positions? If the Wolf People continue to adopt such tunneling tactics afterward, am I supposed to give up all twelve positions?
This is clearly a conspiracy by the Wolf People; they use this thod to force us back!
No!
We will not retreat!
We Dwarfs are never afraid to confront enemies on Mother Earth’s domain.
Call my captain!”
Following the command from the helt-never-off lord, two Shield Dwarf Captains quickly ran up with their short little legs.
They are not vampires, but they co from Polut Pass.
Hether Hoffman is not only the Third Lord of the Blood Covenant knight, she is also the second in line candidate for the Hill Lord of the Shield Dwarf Clan, thus she is eligible to recruit 200 Shield Dwarfs to form her guard.
“Creet! I now appoint you as the Commander of the tunnels at Blackfla Mountain Pass!”
Lord Hether shouted to the Shield Dwarf Major in front of her:
“Imdiately take my guards to the second line of defense, enter the tunnels and clear out the Gnolls, and establish defenses underground. By Gaia, we must not allow the shaless Wolf People to steal our victory in the sacred domain of Mother Earth!
You must hold on until the last mont; do not disgrace your surna!”
“No problem, Hether, we are willing to do so.”
Major Creet, inheriting the bravery of the Dwarves, fearlessly took on this deadly task. However, before leaving, this Dwarf who had surely been secretly drinking earlier whispered:
“Did you recruit young guys from Polut Pass again, Hether? I know you desire to free us Shield Dwarfs from being vassals to the Brass Dwarves, but you know it’s against the rules!
The clan has few people; you can’t just take them to the battlefield like that.”
“Huh?”
Lord Hether was dumbfounded by the question.
She had been guarding Blackfla Mountain Pass for these months, where would she find ti to return to Polut Pass a thousand miles away? Did Creet gamble and drink himself stupid all day? Apart from her and 200 Shield Dwarf guards here, where are there clansn?
Seeing Hether remain silent, Major Creet snorted and said:
“I just saw a dozen Shield Dwarfs on the battlefield; I don’t recognize them or know which family they belong to, but those fine lads are impressive!
Although their skills are chicken-level, they dare to charge with the Transia People! Especially the guy nad ‘Locus Firehamr,’ seeing him smash Gnoll heads with his warhamr reminded of my youthful days 200 years ago.
He also has seven or eight equally formidable brothers.
I thought they were from the Firehamr family, but later asked the Transia People and found out they’re from the Locus Clan, also saying they’re Shield Dwarfs from Transylvania…
So strange.
I didn’t recall we Shield Dwarfs having other territories apart from Polut Pass?”
“Damn! Murphy! Triss! Scoundrels, what the hell did you use my blood for?”
Upon hearing Creet’s explanation, Lord Hether imdiately realized it was definitely two vampires who used her blood to perform so strange and evil ritual, allowing foreigners to enter this world in Shield Dwarf form.
However, she couldn’t explain this to her clansn at this mont. Fortunately, everyone knew Lord Hether never removed her mask, making her true expression invisible.
This awkward vampire dwarf lord could only cough a few tis and mysteriously say:
“They didn’t co from Polut Pass; they… uh, are from a hidden place. You know, our previous Hill Lord, Fan Te, was an incorrigible playboy, with countless lovers throughout his life.
He even pursued Lady Triss.
In short, these Shield Dwarfs are his romantic debts from when he went to Transylvania to fight years ago; it’s the Hoffman Family’s secret! Yes, that’s right! I found the Black Disaster too dangerous, so I invited my hidden family mbers to co and help.
But family scandals shouldn’t be exposed, Creet!
You must swear by your surna to help the Hoffman Family conceal this shaful secret.”
“Oh oh oh, I see, so exciting!”
Major Creet, having heard the gossip, nodded in satisfaction, quickly made an oath by the dwarf family surna, and then left contentedly.
Lord Hether felt very tired.
She was planning to question Triss thoroughly, but hadn’t yet fished out the Blood Crystal Stone when an Elf Ranger riding a Wind Eagle swooped down quickly.
“Lord! There’s trouble at the Fortress of Courage! The vanguard of Split Claw Clan has surrounded it with Wolf People! Workers and warriors are trapped, those bastards want to take the opportunity to destroy our victorious Blood Banner! Quick!
Send reinforcents!”
