Chapter 176 The Atmospheric Dwarf
"What? Dragonhawk Knight! Where is he? I'll go and ask for him personally!" Thorin Oakenshield immediately stood up and said excitedly after hearing the report from his nephews Kili and Fili. Ken gem look.
"Uncle, he is waiting at the top of Erub City. He said that he needs your help for something important." Qili said quickly.
"I'm going to see him!" Thorin rushed out in a hurry, leaving only the two brothers who were still a little dazed behind to eat ashes.
In fact, it’s not surprising that Thorin was so excited. When he formed the Lonely Mountain Expedition, did you see what kind of crooked melons and cracked dates there were under Thorin’s command? A dwarf who has nothing but loyalty and tenacity, if Thorin had a dragonhawk knight under his command at that time, even if he could not seriously injure Smaug, he could still fight with him and wait until Roland and others' troops came to support him. In this way, Lake Town might not was destroyed.
"Hello, Your Highness!" Yad bowed quickly after seeing Thorin wearing a crown.
"Welcome, brother! I thought the dwarf dragonhawk knights had disappeared from history! It's really amazing to see a dragonhawk knight again..." Thorin's eyes filled with excitement. In fact, the dwarves have high-end combat capabilities. The shortage of people is very serious. If we really calculate it, Roland's Swift Current City can completely defend the entire dwarf clan with the power of one city! It's because there are almost no strong people above level 4 among the dwarves, let alone peak professionals at level 6.
I have to lament that Thorin's luck is really good. He met King Bard who was able to slay a dragon and Roland who led the knights. Otherwise, the third-level melee mage of "Gan Tofu" could defeat him. Rubeus went ghost.
"Your Highness, please hurry up and save the other brothers..." Yade said anxiously.
"Others?" Thorin was stunned.
"We have 14 dragon hawk knights... But because we accidentally invaded the airspace of a kingdom called Lagrand... Their dragon knights forced us down and detained the others... He asked you to give them a Say..." Yade, a tall and thick dwarf, actually felt embarrassed.
"...Lagrand...Rapid City...Dragon Knight? It should be Kaslo...you flew over the top of this city?" Thorin said with wide eyes in disbelief.
"Actually, we haven't flown over that city yet, we just passed over another city..." Yade said awkwardly.
"Oh! Descendants of Turin! My beard! My God! You actually invaded the airspace of the Kingdom of Akvia and the Kingdom of Lagrand at the same time... Thank God those human archers in Rapid City didn't shoot you into sieves. !" Thorin covered his face and doubted his life.
"Don't you know you can't cross the skies of other city-states at will?" Thorin was so overwhelmed at this moment, he was really subdued by these one-sided dwarves.
"Forget it Thorin, let's go meet King Roland and King White Wings. Not all dwarves have political talent like you. It's understandable that they don't pay attention to this." Balin stood up.
"Oh, this is the only way..." The arrogant Thorin finally bowed to reality again. If he wanted to maintain the few allies of the dwarves, bowing his head at the right time was the only option. Thorin had already suffered from being surrounded by enemies. , the dwarves, who were already separated from the elves, could no longer bear the loss of human allies.
…
"Hello King Roland. It's nice to see you again. I wish you good health." Thorin appeared at the gate of Swiftstream City.
"Welcome! Thorin, the king under the mountain, welcomes you to the Rapid City as a guest." Roland also smiled and went out of the city to greet him.
"Your Highness, I would like to discuss with you some compensation for the disrespect of these dragonhawk knights." Thorin said humbly.
"Although we have signed a covenant with each other, what happened this time is indeed your fault! Your Highness, do you think it is reasonable to ride a Yalong through the city and fly through other people's airspace?" Roland also stopped smiling when it came to business. The dragon roars almost broke Roland's defense.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Roland, the dwarves will try their best to compensate you." Thorin sighed and apologized.
"Do you need anything? If it's something we can do, we will do it." Thorin said sincerely.
"Your Highness, equipment..." Yun Feng suddenly flashed behind Roland and said using magic.
"Damn it! Jue Juezi! You can catch this pot!" Roland's eyes widened immediately. He was originally worried that this batch of equipment was installed too late. The soldiers did not have time to get familiar with this equipment. Unexpectedly, the dwarf came so quickly. Sending warmth...
"Ahem, that's it, Thorin. We have nearly 500 soldiers here who don't have any equipment yet..." Roland said with a strange expression.
"No problem! A complete set of equipment made of dwarf stainless steel! As long as you don't tell me that it's for 500 knights, I'll cover all the equipment for other arms!" Thorin's chest slapped, and his eyes were full of pride, except The equipment for 500 knights cannot be afforded, and even heavy infantry dwarves can casually equip thousands of knights.
"Knight?" Roland instantly understood what he meant. Indeed, a knight's complete set of equipment includes a lance, a sword, full body armor, a shield and the most important vest! The armor covering the whole body of the war horse was horrifyingly depleted, and it would have been a headache for the dwarves to arm 500 human knights for a long time.
"Just 20 knights, 30 cavalry, and some infantry." Roland reported the number of people for Thorin calmly.
"That's okay! No problem, I'll definitely use the best steel for you!" Thorin's beard curled up.
"I wonder if these can be forgiven by you? Your Highness King Roland." Thorin said a little embarrassedly. Indeed, these iron equipment are insignificant to the dwarves. In other words, cleaning up part of the inventory can arm them to the teeth.
"Of course, I forgive them. You can take them back, but I suggest you educate them. You cannot fly freely in the sky above any city. If there is a giant dragon-hunting crossbow here, they will have been shot down." Roland said sternly, and after speaking, he ordered his subordinates to release the dwarves who were detained in the city.
"You're right! I think they will remember this lesson!" Thorin nodded in agreement. As a dwarf, of course he knew that the dragon-hunting crossbows built specifically to defend against dragons in Middle-earth were very harmful to the dragon clan. What kind of lethality is there, let alone a Dragonborn.
"By the way, Thorin, you'd better go and see the city of Los Sanniers on the other side... Their situation is very bad. They are still gathering the separated residents. Your people almost scared away the entire city's residents. ." Roland turned around and reminded.
"..." Thorin suddenly shut himself up. How should he compensate for this? Thorin could already picture the people in Los San Nier City rushing to escape for their lives. If there was no loss in this process, the goblins probably wouldn't believe it.
"Thank you for letting me know. Let's go to the other side and have a look..." Thorin cried sadly, with extremely distressed eyes in his eyes.
…
"Alas, the poor king under the mountain still needs to take the blame for his younger brother, tsk tsk tsk!" Roland said in surprise.
"There's no way, it's normal for a dwarf's brain to do something like this!" Yun Feng shook his head helplessly.
