Chapter 1208 King Side by Side
The dwarf independence movement in the magical realm ended in failure. Although the dwarves of Black Iron City successfully escaped to Obsidian City in the Endless Labyrinth, their vitality was also severely damaged.
Three days of retreat was simply not enough time for them to transfer the wealth accumulated over generations from Black Iron City to Obsidian City. Most of the army stayed in Black Iron City and the surrounding mountainous battlefields. After the subsequent battles and the elves' blockade, I don't know how many dwarves could make it to Obsidian City.
At this time, the dwarves were like an oil lamp swinging in the wind and rain.
In Obsidian City.
The dwarves have to face the uncomfortable period of life from the surface to the underground; the Iron Heel Kingdom will not watch this important frontier town being occupied by aliens; the black elves led by Ingram are just a branch of the entire black elf race, and I don’t know if there are others. The black elves are peeping here, waiting for an opportunity to attack Obsidian City.
There are also elves. The King of the Hill is not sure whether the elves will come after them and eradicate the dwarves.
Another question is how will the dwarves develop in Obsidian City? Repairing the city, upgrading the main city, recruiting troops, and protecting resources all require countless amounts of money, and most of the dwarves' wealth has been thrown into the lava lake of the Black Iron City.
All these difficulties are not something that the dwarves can face alone. They need real support, the army to help them face potential enemies, money to rebuild the city, and smooth trade routes to establish the economic system of Obsidian City.
The only one who can provide help to the dwarves in this regard is the Five-Color Flag Alliance. To be precise, it needs the nod of the Duke of Brightness.
In order to win over Daliang and let him sincerely support and support the revival of the dwarves, the King of the Hill decided to become a brother with Daliang and named him the Dwarf King. At this time, the dwarf was at the end of his rope, and this was the only thing he could come up with.
For Daliang, he could see the dilemma faced by the dwarves at this time. Morale is low. If they want population but no population, wealth but no wealth, and resources but no resources. If they want to gain a foothold in the endless maze, they can only be sugar daddies. Then the Five Color Flag Alliance has become the only choice for the dwarves.
Daliang already had a plan in mind on how to support the dwarves. Of course, it was not free help. The benefits must be discussed, but he did not expect... the king of the hill would actually take the initiative to give him the title of "king".
This name is more real than any other advantage, because Daliang is very optimistic about the potential of the dwarves.
Dwarves are very well prepared to seek independence. They have established their own set of rune magic. Not only can they use rune combinations to release various types of magic, but they can also engrave the runes on rune stones and inlay them on weapons and equipment. This means that equipment owners do not need to deliberately find rare alchemists. As long as they have rune stones and know how to combine them, they can upgrade their equipment according to their needs.
In addition, the dwarves have also established a complete military system...
Good at forging, honest and trustworthy.
It would be unreasonable if such a powerful and potential race could not be revived.
In short, Daliang believes that the dwarf is a high-quality stock that is unlucky to hit the bottom. Once it rebounds, it will definitely occupy a place in the world.
Now I can help the dwarves when they are in trouble, and then I can just wait and collect the money.
Ha ha ha ha……
However, although the title "King of Side by Side" is very impressive, but the "King of Side by Side" of the dwarves?
It’s hard to shoulder shoulders!

…
As Daliang accepted the canonization of the King of the Hill, he also received a series of rewards.
But when Daliang was checking what benefits he had gained, suddenly a huge black shadow jumped out from the ruins of the city lord's palace below.
Da Liang reflexively wanted to attack, but was stopped by the King of the Hill.
The shadow rose quickly, shaking off the gravel and dust on his body, revealing his appearance...it turned out to be the former city lord of Obsidian City, Shadow Dragon Muir.
The Shadow Dragon has a larger size than the Black Dragon. Its dragon scales are not as shiny as the Black Dragon, but can absorb light without any brightness reflection. This gives the Shadow Dragon a very good hiding ability in underground environments. Even if underground creatures have dark vision, it is difficult to distinguish a stationary Shadow Dragon from a real shadow.
The dwarf's siege and Da Liang blocked Ingram in time, allowing Moore to save his life on the battlefield. It was just the flame domain led by Lie Yan that put Moore into a state of near death, and then he was buried under the ruins of the collapsed city lord's palace.
Fortunately, Daliang and Ingram moved the battlefield to the air, allowing Moore to save first blood at the last moment.
Moore then went into hibernation. He was buried for three days and only just woke up now.
Moore, who flew up, was still very weak. His body swayed and slowly turned into a small form, a standing black dragon man. Moore looked at the barren Obsidian City and felt extremely depressed.
Then Moore looked at the King of the Hill and Da Liang, and remained silent again.
"Moore..." The King of the Hill called out Moore's name. Facing this old friend who had always supported him, his heart was filled with guilt. I wanted to explain, but it seemed that anything I could say at this time was in vain.
Moore certainly knew what was going on. When he saw the dwarves crossing the obsidian wall and entering the city, he figured everything out.
The dwarves had long known that the black elves had the idea of attacking Obsidian City, but they chose to remain silent and wait until the black elves occupied their city before taking it back.
Moore felt betrayed by the person he trusted most.
"Your Majesty...what's the situation in Black Iron City now?" Moore asked calmly.
The King of the Hill replied, "We failed. I lost the Iron City."
"Then you take my city and use it as a habitat for your dwarves?"
The King of the Hill raised his head, looked at Moore and said firmly: "Yes... I robbed your city, betrayed you, and even almost killed you. But I don't regret it... I am King of the dwarves, my honor means nothing before our race.
Moore, I owe you!
I swear in the name of the King of the Hill...I swear in the name of the dwarves, I will give you back a city as great as Obsidian City. "
