Chapter 368
The dwarf team of hundreds of people finally arrived outside Denzel that night.
The arrival of a dwarf team will naturally cause people great surprise. In order not to cause confusion or panic, Charlie specially sent a hundred-man cavalry team to guard the dwarf team along the way, leading them into the city, at the same time Clear the roads so as not to be confused by too many onlookers.
Dwarves can be said to be one of the most special races on this continent. The relationship between dwarves and humans is not very good, and it can even be said to be a bit harsh. Dwarves live in the Blue Basin on the wildfire plains. They do not like dealing with humans, so in general, humans cannot enter or even approach the Blue Basin. Although the dwarves are born to be excellent craftsmen, their weapons and armors have always been expensive treasures on the mainland, but to get a piece of equipment made by the dwarves is difficult enough to frustrate 99% of them.
Dwarves are inherently xenophobic and hostile to any other race entering their territory. Anyone who dares to rush into the dwarven territory will be attacked by the dwarven people.
And the combat effectiveness of this race is also amazing. The dwarf people are inherently powerful, and even the elderly women and minor dwarves of the dwarf people have far more strength than a strong human being. These powerful and stout guys are used to using a hammer as a weapon-an ordinary human warrior, it is even difficult to resist the dwarf's hammer.
According to legend, in the human world, only a small number of chambers of commerce that have been recognized by the dwarves or have established a trust relationship with the dwarves can they enter the dwarven territory at some specific time and perform some extreme Limited transactions. This also makes any dwarven hand-made things easily sell on the mainland for sky-high prices.
Not to mention, it's just Hasting's triangular rifle, the best weapon produced by the dwarves! When this dwarf's team entered the city, Xia also ran outside to watch.
From a distance, this team of hundreds has over two hundred carts and ten carts. These dwarf carts are very different from human carts.
These dwarf carts have a low body. The wheels are at most one-third the height of ordinary wagon wheels, but the body is wider and longer, and each cart has at least eight wheels.
It is not a farm animal such as a horse, but a special animal raised by a dwarf, called a "terrestrial beast".
The appearance of this terrestrial beast is a bit like a dragon. "Of course, Dora expressed her dissatisfaction and protest about this feeling of Xia. In Dora's view, the terrestrial dragon is a low-level low-level creature and noble. The connection of the dragons is a blasphemy against the dragons.
But Xia still felt right.
This terrestrial beast really looks a bit like a dragon—one is much smaller than a dragon, has no wings, has a slightly shorter neck, and has thicker and shorter legs.
Because the legs are too short, the running speed of this kind of beast is very slow. Even an ordinary human can run faster than this kind of thing as long as it speeds up.
Although Ke Du is unhappy, this terrestrial beast has a very strong character, and its ability to bear weight is extremely excellent! The weight-bearing capacity of a terrestrial beast can reach thousands of pounds! This is absolutely impossible for horses.
Humans are not unaware of the outstanding weight-bearing capacity of this animal, but unfortunately, so far, no race other than the dwarven tribe can successfully domesticate this terrestrial beast.
I don't know how the dwarven people domesticated this kind of thing. The ten beasts of this kind seem to be docile, but in fact they are very irritable, only driven by the dwarven people, but docile like sheep.
However, everyone who is really experienced in the wildfire field knows the terrible nature of this kind of thing. This kind of earth-walking beast has a talented soil magic ability, which can gather the surface layer of the body to full J1 elements, thus making it In a short time, your body can become as hard as a rock in the throne of God Seal, and the sword is difficult to hurt. Even the fighting spirit of an intermediate samurai is difficult to penetrate through the body of this kind of thing. But this tenon was docile and obedient in the hands of the dwarves.
Looking at this team, there are two hundred big cars, and there are two hundred terrestrial beasts pulling the cars. "These low-end Warcrafts are gray or black, with huge iron rings around their necks. The carts behind were hooked, and then the carts that were fully loaded slowly moved forward step by step. When some beasts were walking, they were still angling from time to time, making "ang ang" calls. Compared to these lands, Beasts, Charlie is more interested in the dwarves in these teams.
From Xia's point of view, these guys are really short. Most of the dwarves are not too much taller than the goblins. They are even a little shorter, but the dwarves are much stronger than the goblins!
There are at least four hundred dwarfs in this team. Almost every dwarf is unusually majestic. Although they are short in stature, they all have broad shoulders, thick drive and thick arms and legs like trunks! It looks like a small iron golem.
All dwarves have the same characteristics. They all have long beards. Most of the dwarves can almost drag their beards to their waists, and a few beards can even drag their toes. Their long beards are braided into various fancy braids, one by one, like the head of a human woman. But many dwarves have bare heads.
They all wore black iron armor, looked black and rusty, and even had a rough feeling. This made Xia a little disappointed. He thought that since the dwarves were the best craftsmen in the legend, they gave themselves The armor should be made of fine first-class goods. "Why are these guys wearing all those dark and inconspicuous things?
But he noticed one thing: the armors of these dwarves are thick iron armors. Such an iron armor, I am afraid that the weight is not light! And almost every dwarf carries a weird big hammer, and the tip of these hammers has something like a sharp gunpoint. "You said, what would be in the big cars they brought?" Dora couldn't help but ask with a smile. Charlie poked her lips 1 "How do I know ..."
"I haven't seen a few dwarfs. But I heard that the dwarves look very strange ... even their women are bearded, with a rough voice like a man. Xia Ya's Suddenly, there were some weird women one by one with a long beard?
After the dwarf team of hundreds of people came out of the city, they stopped and made the cavalry **** along the way a little difficult.
Seeing that the team stopped outside the city and did not leave, Xia immediately took a horse and greeted him. I saw the cavalry captain, who was responsible for escorting these dwarf teams, riding quickly to report to him. Adult ... these dwarves refuse to enter the city, they insist on seeing you -o "" will not enter the city? " Charlie frowned. "Why? "
The captain of the cavalry was also blank, but what did Charya want to say, but Dora in her head spoke: "Ah! I see ... Well, Xiaoxia, you don't have to guess, these dwarves really won't enter This is a tradition of their dwarves, or a "rule?" "
Well, one by one, one by one, is the rules. "Dora's voice seemed strange." Since the war in ancient times, all races and humans have fallen out ... Among them, the dwarves and humans have formed some grievances, and the ancestors of the dwarves left obedience ... No dwarf is allowed to enter human cities. Dwarves are highly respectful of traditional races, so this ancient rule will not violate them. "
……such. Xia Ya touched his nose. "Then ... let people arrange them to live outside the city. Well, let them live outside the barracks. Isn't the old barracks in our new barracks empty? Let them stay temporarily. As Charlie said, he gave the order to the cavalry captain.
Then Charlie groaned for a while before frowning; "Okay, let's go ... see these dwarves and see what they are running to deliver ... Honestly, Charlie is also very curious. .
These dwarves showed a very cooperative attitude, and they quickly moved to the veteran barracks outside the city under the leadership of the cavalry.
This veteran barracks was built on the basis of the barracks of the defending army. During this period, the Odins were burned down during the first siege of the city, and then repaired and trained for recruits here. After Xia Ya set up a new army half a month ago, the First Corps was set up, and the army went to the newly formed Corps camp, and it was empty here.
Frankly speaking, the conditions here are very rough, with only a few empty barracks left-most of which are still built by Xiaotu for the walls.
But these dwarves did not seem to show any dissatisfaction with this humble condition. After they simply moved in, they parked two hundred cars at the gate of the camp, and immediately separated one-third of them, untied the beasts that pulled the cart, and then drove them. The beasts were grazing everywhere in the camp, and many dwarves also carried a huge cloth bag from the cart, and poured out a pile of feed from which they did not know what to make. Feed these beasts Eat, and some dwarves are holding some strange big brushes, brushing the bodies of these earth-walking beasts. Those earth-walking beasts seem to enjoy this scrubbing action, and many land-walking beasts are lying on the ground comfortably Rolling.
When Xia came here, the dwarves had already occupied the positions of several checkpoints in this old camp. Looking at Xia ’s arrival, many dwarves' faces were obviously with some vigilant looks. The look was absolute. It's not friendly, even a little hostile. "I am the leader of the city of Denzel. Let the leader of your team come to see me." Charlie stood at the gate of the camp and did not enter.
Probably understood the words of Charya, and soon, the dwarf leader of this team came to Charya.
The dwarf standing in front of Xia was only a few feet taller than Xia's belly button, but the dwarf, with a tall iron helmet, barely reached the position of Xia's chest. However, those short legs still wore a pair of long leather boots, and it seemed that the boot of the leather boots was almost aligned with the thigh root, which looked a little ridiculous.
Charya noticed that although the dwarf was short, it was extremely stout! Its skin is as dry and thick as the old bark, full of wrinkles, but the muscles on the chest and arms are high and the lines are clear. The funny thing is that its beard is also the longest in the entire dwarf team. He dragged him to the toes, and the long beard also made two beautiful round knots, and more than ten twisted braids were erected. These dwarfs looked dark and dirty, but they did not expect to be so careful about the burial of their beards. "My name is Rock. I was commissioned by the Almighty and Great Greybeard King to come here to give a gift to the great Merlin."
The dwarf looked at Xia Ya, his voice was a bit dry, and his voice was a little bit proud, but the voice of these dwarves was really loud, and the voice was like thunder and rumbling. rock? A strange name.
It seems that Xia has heard many legends. It seems that there are always some people in the dwarves called "rock" or "hammer". It's like common names like "Tom" and "Jack" in human names.
"I welcome you on behalf of Master Merlin." Xia's voice was also a little arrogant. He is this character. Since this dwarf speaks in a polite manner, it is not necessary for Xia to show any kindness, "but Lord Merlin can't see you right now. So you can explain what you're doing, and then you can talk to me about everything. "
"No, no, no ..." This rock shook his head again and again: "I brought the precious gift that King Graybeard gave to Master Merlin. I have to hand it over by myself, but I can't let others collect it." Xia Ya turned over Eyelids ...
Want to see Merlin? That couldn't be more ... Merlin locked herself in the backyard and hung a sign outside the door; the trespasser died. Huh, who has the courage to go in one by one anyway, I won't go in anyway.
Charlie frowned; "Master Merlin does not have time to see you on the Throne of Seal now. If you are not willing to pass it on, then wait here." He paused, Charya said, "Who do you say you came from? Graybeard ? "
"Grey Beard! Is the King of Kings of the Dwarves! His Majesty the Dwarves, the leader loved by all dwarves ... the bravest and most heroic dwarven brave man ..." This rock suddenly seemed like a numbered chicken blood. Excited, "Okay ..." Charlie waved her hand and watched the spit flying guy ...
Well, it seems that Doodor can be called to receive these guys. When this dwarf talked about what they had to be the gray-bearded king, they were full of horses and looked like Dodoro. If they were together, they would have a common language.
Seeing nothing speculative, Xia took the people away. Before leaving, she was still curious and looked at the campsite. The two hundred and two hundred cars were covered tightly and did not know what they were. baby.
Just as Xia brought people back from the old camp and was walking back, there were already a few fast-moving Mercedes-Benz in the distance, and it was clear from a distance www.wuxiaspot.com It was another team under his control. Scout cavalry. "Master! Master Xia! Emergency military information !!!
Hearing shouts from a distance, Charlie's look flickered immediately, but the cavalry rushed to the front, and when the man was on the line, he said loudly: "Sir! Another strange team came from the east one by one one by one They ● They one by one one by one "
"What panic? What's theirs!" Xia Ya sank her face.
As a scout, one of the most necessary qualities is to be in a state of panic. If you become panicked at every turn, how can you be a scout? !!
But then, the words of the scout cavalry immediately explained the cause of his panic!
"Those guys ... they came from the sky! More than a dozen big birds! They were all riding on it, coming from the east! It is less than three miles from here ...
Riding a bird? people? !!
Charlie's eyes widened immediately.
In her mind, Dora suddenly called out, "It's an elf! It's an elf!"
