Chapter 147: Convergence and Assembly
?
The two turned around and saw a dwarf standing behind them.
And the other party had a face that could be considered handsome from a human aesthetic point of view, and his beard was neatly trimmed. With his long black hair scattered casually, he seemed to have the feeling of a dwarf general or lord.
"How about working together?"
The dwarf saw that Dorn and Vulkan did not answer, raised his hand and pointed at the city gate and continued to propose:
"I have a way to get a pass, but I am short of money. How about cooperating?"
"Strange environment, strange people..." Dorn looked around, and then his eyes fell on the dwarf who was about the same height as him, both 1.4 meters tall, and questioned:
"There are countless pedestrians rushing into the city, and there are also many mercenaries, travelers and adventurers who are worried about how to enter the city, but you chose us to cooperate?
Don't tell me this is your first feeling, or that there is some special eye, I don't believe that."
As Dorn said, Vulkan, who remained silent, also cooperated with his brothers to show a solemn and scrutinizing look, and put pressure on the dwarf from a high position.
It is true that the two primarchs are still young and not very sensitive to psychic energy. They cannot use mind reading or psychological suggestion like their brother Magnus, but they still easily see through this deliberate chat.
"Heh! Whoever wants to ask can ask! I quit!"
However, what Dorn and Vulkan didn't expect was that the dwarf in front of them was so desperate that he just walked away.
?
What happened.
Then, before the brothers could react, a middle-aged man wearing leather armor and slicked back hair appeared. He was obviously a professional soldier and hurriedly stopped the previous dwarf.
Then, they saw a female elf wearing a dark gray robe, with long golden hair, and a height of 1.9 meters. She walked up to them and said bluntly:
"Sorry, everything that happened just now was a misunderstanding. We have no ill intentions."
The words were apologetic, but the female elf seemed to be paralyzed and did not show too much emotion.
Seeing this, Dorn put his hands back into his outer robe and placed them on the gun holster at the back of his waist, looking up and asking:
"Let's put aside the apology for now, please explain your trickery.
Vulkan also raised his vigilance, and if this was some kind of trap, he was ready to rush out with his brothers at the first time.
"You two, we really don't have any bad intentions." The female elf tried her best to show what she thought was a friendly expression, and said:
"But we are indeed waiting here based on our intuition, and we are sure that you two will rush to the capital from the north one day. The test just now is just to get to know you better. "
After hearing these words, the two Primarchs frowned.
However, seeing the half-smile on the face of the female elf, Dorn knew that she was not good at words and interpersonal communication.
Looking at the taciturn soldiers and the stubborn dwarves, Dorn was basically sure that there was no ambush here.
After all, who would send such a flawed trio?
With his guard down, Dorn stretched out his left hand from his robe and waved it towards the city gate, saying: "This is not a place to talk, why don't we go into the city to talk in detail?"
"Of course. "
The female elf nodded without hesitation, and stretched out her right hand to him, spreading her palm.
Seeing that the other party was still actively showing goodwill, Dorne also stretched out his right hand and shook hands with the other party.
Next.
Dorne and Vulkan chose to cooperate with the other party temporarily... Of course, the other party did not really ask them to pay the entrance fee.
In addition, the dwarf with a bad temper used some kind of rhetoric to talk happily with the guards, and then took the opportunity to give out five gold coins, which easily allowed everyone to avoid the inspection link and enter the capital unimpeded.
Walking on the wider and more prosperous streets, looking at the endless stream of shops and stalls, Vulkan couldn't help but turn his head to look at the dwarf, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
"You two can buy me a few drinks later. "The dwarf looked a little proud.
"..." Dorn curled his lips, but he didn't say much.
Then, the five of them walked through the various blocks of the capital and found a large hotel to stay in before it got completely dark.
Then, the five of them gathered in a suite with a dining table.
At this time, the female elf raised her left hand and waved it gently, releasing a light green magic that quickly spread throughout the suite.
As if to confirm that no one was eavesdropping, the female elf explained to Dorn and Vulcan:
"My name is Aoi, and these two are the dwarf Thorin Yang and the human Pietro Bomir.
We followed the prophecy and came to the capital from south to north, just to wait for the offspring of the new emperor...that is, you two.
At the same time, I can be sure that you are not from this world...
…”
Aoi began to tell the somewhat confused Dorne and Vulkan about the First Age, the first emperor, the awakening of Moido, and all the prophecies.
——
…
Thousands of kilometers away in the southern hemisphere.
The town of Shahai, located on the border.
Observing from the sky, it can be found that the scale of Shahai Town is larger than before.
The city walls are higher and thicker, and the number of turrets and arrow towers has increased by more than five times, mainly concentrated in the south of Shahai Town.
And on the outer desert, two military fortresses appeared out of thin air, with simple city walls and turrets and arrow towers, as well as buildings such as barracks and armories.
The military fortress not only facilitates the main forces of elves and dwarves to repair, but also serves as a rival to Sand Sea Town.
It seems that with the help of magic, the dwarves responsible for building all of this are as fast as Atlas's engineering team.
now.
Located in the fortress on the southeast side of Shahai Town;
The Elf Queen, wearing a white cold-proof robe and close-fitting armor, was inspecting the southern camp.
Maybe it's because the moonlight is too bright tonight, or maybe it's due to the influence of unknown magic. Tinas looks like a dream in the moonlight, and her body outline and waist-length hair seem to be shrouded in a layer of shimmer, exuding an indescribable "mystery" .
She stopped moving forward, and the ten elf guards who followed her silently stopped neatly, making no sound the whole time.
Slowly raising his head and staring at the starry night sky, Tinas showed a rare smile of relief and whispered:
"It seems that those children have joined the descendants of the Human Emperor. Will the future really develop as predicted? Mother."
With that said, Tinas shook his head lightly again, restrained himself from showing too much emotion and continued his inspection.
After a while, she and her guards arrived on the southern city wall.
Looking at the southern part that was completely plunged into darkness, Tinas's face returned to coldness, but her eyes showed some worry.
Six days ago, the timely arrival of their elves and dwarves forced the bloody general to withdraw to the south.
Since then, the entire area has remained quiet for nearly a week, and the dwarves have taken advantage of this gap to start construction, strengthening the defense of Shahai Town as much as possible.
In addition to them, reinforcements sent by various races arrived one after another and were deployed in two important towns north of Shahai Town.
Due to the Minister of State, the empire was slow to assemble its troops, and they needed to be on standby in the royal capital first.
The momentum was quite high, but it actually did not help in the slightest to defend against Moido's expansion into Terraira.
Tinas knew that the other party was trying to use Moido to consume the vitality of their elves and dwarves, and then send the main force of the empire to the border at the right time, destroy all opposition with the power of thunder, and then become the savior to dispel the darkness.
A good idea, but a delusion.
Tinas only found it ridiculous. Even if the predicted new emperor did not appear, all races should be gathered together to fight against the enemy together, instead of extending the tactics of political struggle to the military.
Not only her, but Delin, the strongest among the dwarves, and the dragon clan with a population of less than a thousand, it can be said that the leaders of each clan can detect what the minister of state is thinking.
But they are not like the top human beings who like to engage in power play and politics, so no matter whether the empire sends troops or not, they will choose to face the darkness without hesitation.
"."
Thinking of this, Tinas sighed quietly.
?
Suddenly, she noticed a flash of fire at the end of the south.
!
Seeing this, Tinas immediately raised his right hand, extended his index finger upward, and instantly released an extremely dazzling silver beam, directly lighting up the night sky of the entire Shahai Town.
At the same time, she looked at the guards standing behind her with her peripheral vision and reminded:
"Inform everyone that Moido's army is gathering."
