Chapter 216 You Can Try It First

"Orcs?" David thought of the shadow of the Kingdom of God he saw on the coast of Scanis when fragments fell from the sky, and he immediately thought of this possibility.

There are only so many well-known intelligent species in Ellaria or the multiverse, including humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, dragons and even giants who have moved out of the main material plane.

It's not that other races are not strong enough, on the contrary, there are many races that are not inferior to these mainstream civilizations at all, such as mind flayers, aboleths and the like.

But the problem is that beings whose individual abilities or groups are powerful enough often don't believe in gods.

For example, the mind flayers have been working to restore their ancient civilization.

The Aboleth can absorb and retain the memories of creatures it has controlled, which is close to immortality to a certain extent.

In other words, they are not qualified leeks.

The more powerful an individual is, the more likely he is to do this.

So to a certain extent, the dragon is not a qualified leek of faith.

This is enough to illustrate the problem from the fact that almost all dragon gods have weak divine power.

In David's view, the one who could be considered a threat by the dwarves, who had many legendary strong men, should be one of them.

Especially since he had seen with his own eyes the fragments of the Kingdom of God that also fell to the Old Continent.

However, the only way to survive such a catastrophe was through the intervention of God.

So, the orc pantheon headed by Gruumsh, the Eye of Destruction, has also come to an end?

David thought for a while, and it seemed that this shouldn't be a very strange thing. After all, the piece of orc soil in the Kingdom of Tempus was there, almost like a touch of green above the head of the orc god system that could never be ignored.

Although most orcs don't care much about being cuckolded, it is not a loss to be able to take advantage of the chaos and step on the head of this God of War system that includes most of the war and battle priests and take back some of the orcs' faith. .

As more and more people behind the scenes were revealed, David finally understood that Tiamat had dared to be so confident and launched a charge directly with the help of the bait caught by Pavla.

‘The world has been fighting for a long time! ’

However, it is also true that the believers spend all their time on other people's territory to stir up trouble and make trouble for other people.

Considering that Tempus is powerful and can fight thieves, he tolerated it, but if there is a hole in Fan's battle skirt, then the gods will not have to go up and compete with each other to deal damage, and then follow the rules before leaving. Are you leaving underwear?

David can only say that the God of War system is awesome!

What David didn't expect was that he only guessed half of it right.

"The orcs who fell into the Dark Mountains and took root are indeed a hidden danger, but compared to them, the bigger trouble for us right now is the group of long-eared relatives in the wild, who keep popping up like underground rats. .

"Damn Drow!" The High King Taimur almost gritted his teeth at the mention of this word.

"Huh?" David opened his mouth slightly.

This was really a possibility that he had not thought of beforehand.

Without it, it may be that when he was a child, he went to the underdark area beneath Glenyel in the New World to do business with the drow. After being cheated by the drow, he became angry and summoned a divine strike from Tiamat to directly defeat him. Spider Nest City, from then on, the drow seemed to be a little sluggish in his impression.

For this reason, the drow seemed not to be a real threat at all in his eyes.

But thinking about being able to enslave the old dragon Christos for so many years, and now even holding on to its revenge for so long, seems to be enough to show that this group of drow is not as easy to deal with as David thought.

At the same time, if nothing unexpected happens, what these dwarves encounter is very likely to be close relatives of the elves on Evermeet Island, drow who are also from Toril.

After all, the drow in Ellaria were corrupted and transformed after the elves moved to the new continent Glen'yel thousands of years ago and became connected to the faith of the Spider God Queen Lolth.

From this perspective, these dwarves are really unlucky:

At the same time, they encountered two groups of "illegal plane immigrants" attacking from the front and back.

Oh, there is also a wave of 'greenskins' who have returned to the orc god system.

Four waves of melee broke out directly around this group of dwarf brothers.

This means that he, the red dragon lord, is not a master who likes to capture cities and territories whenever he has nothing to do. Otherwise, a new version of the 'Battle of the Five Armies' would have been staged again on the Scanis continent.

As the banquet continued, David's doubts were finally answered from the mouths of the dwarves, who were obviously drunk on the purgatory wine:

Is that why the Scanis dwarves, who have lived in the cracks of the mountains for thousands of years, seem to be helpless and even in decline when facing the drow?

"These damn drows have much better eyesight in the underground battlefield than we do."

David and the dragons suddenly realized that they had overlooked a problem. It turned out that although everyone also had [dark vision], there was a difference.

The [Dark Vision] of dwarves and orcs is only 18 meters.

What about drow and dragons?

Sorry, at least 36 meters away.

As for David, whose perception is as high as 41, he can even keenly perceive movements hundreds of meters away in a completely dark underground space.

This is why he was able to spot the few dwarves who came out of the cracks in the rock mass to watch the fun immediately before the dwarves noticed it. At the same time, it was also the reason and confidence that he could travel in the dark areas without fear of drow or even underground creatures.

In a completely dark environment, perception is equivalent to the radar on the Blue Star battlefield. Whoever finds the target first before the other party will have an overwhelming strategic advantage.

Yes, reality is often so simple and dramatic, and it actually only depends on a visual distance.

In history, these seemingly inconspicuous details often secretly determine the outcome.

Only then did David remember a situation he accidentally learned about when he went to Toril:

That is the underdark area of ​​Toril, where the only overlords are drow, illithid, and aboleth.

As for the dwarves, or gray dwarves, and others such as deep gnomes, goblins, etc., then the fate of being enslaved by these three is, well, that’s not right. Even slavery for goblins is a waste of food, and deep gnomes are just like earth dwarves. You can produce your own food by throwing them away like mushrooms, and the dwarves can fight, forge, and be durable.

The dwarves may be absolutely outstanding in terms of military force, but if they continue to pursue underground or even dark areas, it will not work. Whether it is planting cold arrows, traps or poisoning in the dark, this group of dwarves will suffer terribly.

It is precisely for this reason that drow have appeared underground in the Dark Mountains for nearly thirty years. This group of legendary dwarves has not even been able to figure out where exactly these drow came from until now. Let alone annihilation.

Unable to eliminate the source of the threat, and strategically suppressed by the opponent's superiority, they are doomed to forever be exhausted from defending this Bafeng Mountain fortress in the open.

But in any world, you can only commit a thief in a thousand days, so there is no way to prevent a thief in a thousand days.

Over the years, the dwarves have begun to decline.

The invasion of the high elves on the surface of the land compressed the living space, which almost sounded the death knell for these dwarves.

This is like playing Warcraft. You want to develop honestly, but the opponent just doesn't. Well, they play TR to block the door of your home, harass you, and continue to slaughter your farmers. After one round, you won't even know where the opponent's home is. I haven't touched it before, it's a ghost if I can beat it.

At the same time, David also finally knew why he had originally planned to meet the Iron Barrier Lord on this mountain, but ended up coming directly to the Iron Barrier Lord of Bafeng Mountain, and even 'gifted' a man who was known as 'tough' The High King of the Dwarves is as arrogant as the stones in the pit and is no less arrogant than the elves.

This can only show that these Scanis dwarves are really at the end of their rope. For the continuation of their race, they have to lower their once proud and noble heads.

Even, no longer use that fig leaf to cover up.

Of course, there is no way to cover it up. The armor regarded as the standard by the dwarves is all covered with spots and there is no time to repair it. The bird can hardly cover it, so where can it take care of its buttocks?

Sure enough, by the time 'three rounds of wine had passed and five dishes had passed', the small talk was almost finished. David saw Supreme King Taimur placing the finished wine cup on the stone table with a clatter, looking solemn. He looked at him and asked:

"Your Excellency David Yutos, as far as I know, your mother's territory left over from the Crimson Disaster, the Cattana Mountains, is now also under the occupation of the moon elves. I wonder if you have any plans to regain the lost territory?"

Melfler, who was eating a meal of bugs at the side, widened his eyes in hindsight and thought to himself, "Good guy, the dwarf king has seen this!"

Emotionally, they only want the dwarves to have a meal, and these dwarves directly want to use them as cattle and horse messengers!

He immediately looked at David eagerly and said to himself, boss, we have just returned from fighting in Baator Hell for more than 30 years. Although we also know that the territory is very important, we can only take a break for a few days. ! Those of us who are followers have to fall in love, no, and those of us have to carry on the family line, no.

He is also planning to go home and find Chretien's "mother" to match him with a drow girl who will make a little drow dragon in a few years.

I heard David smiling and saying:

"Getting back my territory is inevitable."

As soon as Lord Tiesei couldn't help but sit upright, he heard David, the young red dragon, mocking himself:

"But the strength doesn't allow it. Didn't this person just poke his head out of Baator Hell and was driven out by a group of elves? If the Eight Peaks Mountain Fortress hadn't frightened the elves, would I be able to sit here and talk to him now? All Ironfortress lords are having a good time drinking and talking."

As soon as the dwarves heard this, they knew that this red dragon was really evil.

Mard is a red dragon who once had a record of razing the Spider Nest City. He is also the only descendant of the powerful god Pavla. He also has the surname of Said Punga. Who would believe it if he didn't have some trump cards!

As a result, before the frowning Lords of Ironforge could speak, the red dragon narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around at the dwarves and asked:

"Or are you willing to send troops to conquer the moon elves and help me retake the Katana Mountains?"

At this point, David stood up from his lying position and said loudly:

"If this is the case, I, David Yutos, will definitely take command personally and charge into the battle with all the iron fortress lords until death, until these long-eared people from the outer plane are completely driven out of the Scanis continent! "

David's righteous declaration of war actually made the dwarf lords, who were still a little indignant, choke back all the words they were about to blurt out, and their faces turned red. Uncomfortable.

High King Taimur took a deep breath and couldn't help but look at one of the dwarves. The dwarf who David thought was the [Rune Lord] immediately understood and apologized to David for his awkward look:

"I'm sorry, Lord David Yutos. Although it's a bit hard to say this, given the condition of our Eight Peaks Mountain Fortress, if we use all our elite troops, this fortress may be in danger of being lost."

David pretended to be deep in thought and sighed:

"So, at this stage, I can only lead a group of young dragons to fight the moon elves alone? For the continuation of the five-color dragons, I am afraid I will have to 'hide my capabilities and bide my time' for a while."

Another Black Rock Fortress lord couldn't help but put forward another set of arguments: "His Royal Highness Davyutos, you can also choose to lead a group of dragons to help us repel the drow elves and orcs underground, and then we will join together and march into Carter. Ghana, help His Highness regain his homeland?"

David simply stopped pretending this time and unceremoniously ignored this Lord of Ironforge, who was probably also instructed by the Supreme King:

"Sorry, please forgive me for refusing. I cannot allow myself to bring my followers and relatives into a battlefield where the situation is completely unclear."

He had already provoked Rose once and relied on Tiamat to escape. Now Rose has decided to create a gap through the Dark Mountains so that she can have a hearty and fateful showdown with the high elves. He does not want to know this situation. It also made me look embarrassed.

When they heard this, the dragons behind them also relaxed a little.

They also don't want to fight with those old drows, so they might as well go head-to-head with the high elves. At least their wings won't be useless most of the time.

Just when the scene seemed dull due to David's straightforward rejection, David spoke before Taimur again:

"King Taimur, since we both have inseparable reasons and cannot fully help each other, I have a relatively compromise plan here. Do you want to consider it?"

"Please." The High King raised his hand to indicate to David that it was okay to speak out.

"In ten years, I will create an opportunity for the High Elf Legend to withdraw from Scanis. At that time, you can look for an opportunity to attack with all your troops and counterattack the Katana Mountains.

"As far as I know, the underground of the Cattana Mountains is full of lava rivers, and drow cannot live there.

"And we dragons don't care if there are more dwarves in our territory."

But as soon as David said this, the dwarves who had never farted even if they were completely rejected suddenly became angry, especially the irritable Rune Lord who directly threw his wine glass and faced Dai. Wei roared:

"Are you asking us to completely abandon Bafeng Mountain Fortress?!"

This simply seemed to cost the lives of many dwarves.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Since this Eight Peaks Mountain Fortress was built thousands of years ago, there has never been a record of a fall. It has been regarded by the dwarves as their sacred and inviolable home and ancestral land.

David's words are basically equivalent to asking the people of Blue Star to just sit back and watch a bunch of groundhogs dig up their ancestors' graves.

But facing the angry dwarves, David raised his neck and looked at them and said, "That's right."

"This is simply unreasonable! I would rather die here than give up this fortress."

"that is!"

"Give up, the five-color dragon will not understand the significance of this land to us."

While the dwarves solemnly protested against David's 'ridiculous words', Taimur, as the High King, remained silent.

David was also unfazed, but the angry words of these dwarves seemed to frighten the group of dwarf children who lost their fear because of David's feeding and ran to the dragons to play catch with cats. He He stretched out his tail and patted the shivering dwarf children hiding behind the pillar, and said to the Iron Barrier Lords:

"Oh? So you plan to let them join you old guys in fighting and die in this tomb that already has a putrid smell?

"Or are they allowed to be captured by the drow, bred endlessly like cows and horses on the grassland, and then give birth to groups of 'cows and horses' that will be exploited by the drow for generations?"

This is not alarmist. The gray dwarves of Toril will only become worse under the rule of drow and illithids.

After a brief silence, the dwarves instantly became even more 'incompetent and furious', roaring continuously.

David grinned and mocked ruthlessly:

"Look, you yourselves actually know

"You guys can't hold this fortress at all.

"This is the will of the gods,

"It is also a historical necessity,

"Or you try to ask your gods,

"Pray a little?!"

"Shut up! We don't need the hypocritical 'pity' of you five-colored dragons here." Finally, there was a dwarf who couldn't stand the pain and mental torture that went straight to his heart.

"That's enough!!!" Dwarf King Taimur stopped the quarrel among the dwarves.

Then, under the disbelieving gazes of a group of dwarves, he looked at David with a somewhat painful expression and asked:

"Can you guarantee that all the Elf Legends will be removed from Scanis?"

"I can only guarantee that at least half of them will be withdrawn, but I can't guarantee that they will withdraw from Scanis completely. After all, I can't influence the will of the elves." David spread his claws.

"So, we need to keep doing this for another ten years?"

"To be precise, within twelve years, but during this period, I can provide you with some small help in trade, such as exchanging your goods for food, medical-grade spirits, and magic items. There are also some alchemical potions to assist in combat."

A group of dwarves suddenly felt a little excited again, if David hadn't made that damn suggestion of evacuating the Eight Peaks Mountain Fortress.

"By the way, I almost forgot to introduce myself. In addition to being the Lord of Katgana, I am also a small sea trader and alchemist. I mainly produce [Wrath Mixture]. You should also have heard of its name. That’s right.”

Having said this, David took out a [Wrath Mixture] from the [Portable Cave] and threw it to Supreme King Taimur on the throne:

"King Taimur, you can try the effect first."

Taimur was not afraid of being poisoned by the red dragon. He pulled out the cork and drank it in one gulp just like Drow Ariana back then under David's hesitant eyes.

Then the eyes of the Supreme King began to become 'angry' at a speed visible to the naked eye.

First, he almost let out a burp, but he suppressed it for the sake of dignity.

"Uh." David, who was about to say something, immediately swallowed the second half of the sentence and tapped his head with his paw as he felt a headache.

Then, in the eyes of the dragons with gloating anticipation, and in the unbelievably horrified gaze of the Iron Barrier Lords, the dwarf king spurted out a dazzling flame from his buttocks, spiraling up into the sky.

There was a muffled bang.

The entire head, wearing a helmet, was embedded in the ceiling.
