Caesar waited at sigh fortress.
Sigh fortress has been established less than ten years, but it has become one of the most important fortresses on the border of the black wing empire. It is also the largest war fortress of the Empire. It is located at the top of the sigh mountain, connected with the barrier of despair, and guarding the military fortress of the whole South marching north.
With the increasingly tense relations with the south of ayladia, the military forces in the fortress have been strengthened. Now, this seemingly insignificant rough fortress has gathered 100000 troops, including 80000 well-equipped human standing armies and more than 20000 clan monsters.
At the same time, if war breaks out, the seven clan groups responsible for patrolling the southern border area can respond quickly and enter the fortress for support at the first time. At that time, more than half of the military forces of the black wing empire will be gathered in this place.
It is not only a fortress, but also a gate. When the gate is opened, the troops of the black wing empire can flow down the sigh mountains, allowing sharp blades and fangs to penetrate any city of ayladia.
But Caesar is not a lunatic who has lost his mind. Although he has been annoyed by the Empire of never setting sun recently, this little anger is not enough to be a reason to kill him and the other party.
The war did not start. This time, when he arrived at sigh fortress, the Black Dragon Emperor had another reason in addition to his daily inspection of territory and border defense: waiting for others.
Waiting for Prince ATTAS ambition, the dwarf, and the grey Castle dwarfs he led.
Although most of the grey Castle dwarfs don''t ask about the world and are obsessed with the rise of forging technology and the research and development of high-tech materials, their wisdom in other aspects is not much lower than that of human beings. As a leader, ATTAS can''t be a fool who doesn''t know anything.
How many coveted spies will be attracted by a lost dwarf tribe proficient in forging on the long way? ATTAS knew very well that he still held the handed down halberd and all kinds of excellent armor weapons in the hands of other people of the clan. Even if they were cautious, disguised and hidden, it was almost a dream to reach the North all the way without danger.
Therefore, as early as when he decided to leave for the north, ATTAS wrote a letter to the Black Dragon Emperor in the name of the ambitious clan king, which recalled the friendly exchanges between the northern Empire and the Stuart Kingdom (the dwarf claimed to the gray Castle), and affirmed the inseparable trade and solid and reliable alliance between the two sides, Then it describes in detail the course of the battle of the three fort and the current crisis and dilemma faced by the ambition clan; Finally, atas sincerely asked the Black Dragon Emperor for help.
The northern emperor soon replied, calling atas a "friend" and claiming that the Empire would immediately start the protection plan for the grey Castle dwarves to ensure that they finally arrived safely in the north.
However, in the south, it was difficult for the black wing Empire to directly send troops to protect the grey Castle dwarves. It could only give the grey Castle dwarves economic, intelligence, route and other support in other ways. For this reason, Caesar even paid a price, exposing many black shirts and mutants who had disguised and completed infiltration.
This situation quickly improved after ATTAS and his clan reached the area north of the central part. Within the influence range of the black wing Empire, the Kingdom and clan attitude of the grey Fort dwarves had a 180 degree turn. Therefore, the time they spent on the whole second half of the journey was even less than one-third of the first half of the journey,
Finally, after a four month long journey, the grey Castle dwarfs finally came to the sigh fortress on the border of the black wing Empire and stood in front of the Black Dragon Emperor Caesar tangrian.
Relying solely on the world''s outstanding forging skills, the grey Castle dwarves can get Caesar''s attention, but Caesar took so much time to help them for another reason - in a sense, it is also a political performance. He is making it clear to the countries in the south that the black wing Empire attaches importance to its trading partners and allies and is willing to be their backing and retreat.
As for whether there was an alliance between the black wing Empire and the gray Castle Kingdom, as long as they both admit to each other, there is.
"ATTAS ambition, on behalf of the Stuart Kingdom and ambition clan, takes the liberty to visit and greet you. Your friendship is unforgettable to me, your majesty tangrian, the king of the dragon and the northern emperor."
Atas, the legendary foundry master, was standing in front of Caesar and bowing. Like the fist clenching ceremony of the orcs, the dwarves did not bow down. They bowed to show respect.
"Welcome, honest dwarf."
It''s hard for Caesar to make a friendly expression, but his voice sounds gentle.
The black dragon looked at the unmasked dwarf king. Although the ruler of the Stuart kingdom was only half the height of human beings, it did not make people feel small. He had a strong body like a soldier, his muscles were wrapped in armor engraved with mysterious patterns, didn''t wear a helmet, and leaned on a dark gold Trident two meters long in one hand, Black Wavy Curls came down.
The two sides were silent for a while, and ATTAS decided to take the initiative to speak. Although the language was not the strength of the dwarf, it took him all the way to think of the previous opening speech, but it involved the continuation of the clan, and he had to open his mouth. "Black Dragon Emperor, the fragile dwarf alliance was destroyed in the war, and the ambition clan was displaced due to the destruction of their homes. Here, on behalf of my remaining clans, I sincerely beg your protection."
"The north is not a happy place, our enemies are also eyeing." Caesar bowed his head and asked, "what do you want to do and what do you want?"
"We hope you can treat us like elves, give us a land you don''t need, and give the dwarves equal right to survival and dignity." ATTAS bowed his head and said, "you will win honor and respect from all dwarves, and the ambition clan will always remember your last name and first name."
Prince ATTAS''s words dissatisfied Caesar, which was not the result he wanted to hear.
When receiving the news from the grey Castle dwarves, Caesar subconsciously thought that the other party wanted to migrate to the north to join the black wing Empire, so he spared no effort to help, but in fact, it was not the case at all. The dwarves just wanted to obtain a piece of land in the north and rebuild their homes under the protection of the black wing empire.
They didn''t even want to pay for it. All they paid was commitment, just verbal "honor" and "respect".
Good. It''s very medieval.
"Honor?"
The Black Dragon Emperor opened his mouth and smiled. The exposed huge tusks changed the atmosphere: "what is honor? What is respect? Since when did the human trick begin to work on the dragon?"
He said cruelly. Suddenly, the conversation turned and his mind jumped off: "dwarf, I think your halberd is very interesting."
As soon as these words came out, all the dwarves, including atas, changed their faces. The greed of the dragon was well known all over the world. They knew what the black dragon was up to. However, the "halberd of atas" was not only a legendary weapon, but also a symbol on Stuart''s current flag, a symbol of the existence of Stuart''s kingdom in recent two hundred years, and a spiritual pillar of the ambitious clan.
The flag of the three Fort military alliance was also composed of the long halberd of the ambition clan, the hammer of the Warhammer clan and the staff of the thunder roar clan.
The black dragon looked down playfully, and the dwarfs were silent.
After a while, Prince Ashtar''s uncertain face finally stopped. He paused and said heavily in a low voice, "for the continuation of Stuart!"
This sentence seemed to be used by him to convince himself. As soon as the voice fell, ATTAS crossed the dark gold Trident and raised his hands: "powerful Black Dragon Emperor, this is a gift from the ambition clan for you."
"Very good." Caesar nodded, his big claw looked down and picked it up impolitely.
"Halberd of ATTAS" has five weapon characteristics, five ability blessings and two different types of spell like abilities, which is much stronger than the "Isaac thirsty blood" given to Hogg by Caesar. The dwarfs watched the action of the Black Dragon Emperor, saw him put the handed down halberd in front of his eyes, looked at it, then stuffed it into his mouth and bit it.
Unexpectedly, the collision between the halberd of atas and the dragon''s teeth did not splash sparks or make a harsh friction sound. The dwarves only heard a continuous, buzzing tremor, like a metal sob.
"Clang!" the halberd was thrown back.
"The Empire gives shelter and support, and the elves pay loyalty and friendship. Do you want the same equal dignity as the elves? But do you know that they fought for the Empire and bled for the Empire?"
The black dragon emperor turned and left: "there is land outside the fortress. Inside the fortress, think clearly and come back."
