Chapter 239: Hundreds of Martial Arts, This Is

Chapter 239 Various martial arts, this is...

"Master Kage, you don't actually need to act with us."

Approaching the fire dwarf's fortress, Gallian once again whispered to the shadow beside him.

In front of them, Xie, who looked arrogant, acted as the leader of the team.

This secret investigation involved Xing and Ying at the same time.

"It doesn't matter, this will reduce your burden."

His eyes moved from the other party to the fortress, and Shadow's voice was as calm as ever.

Of course she couldn't say that she was here to ensure Xie's safety. If something unexpected happened, she could use Shadow Step to escape with Xie.

That was really demoralizing.

On the walls of the fortress, the fire dwarves had already seen the drow team.

A fire dwarf who seemed to be the team leader ordered his men to lower the suspension bridge, and then he led several fire dwarves down the city wall.

"Master, do you have any instructions?"

As soon as he saw Scorpion, the fire dwarf asked in the fire language.

Generally speaking, the relationship between fire dwarves and efreets is close to mortal enemies, and as elemental creatures, they cannot reproduce under normal circumstances.

Normal fire dwarves are born by casting a bronze body from another fire dwarf and then pouring the fire of life into it.

But the situation of these fire dwarves enslaved by the elf is somewhat different.

They were forged by the efreeti after they captured a lone fire dwarf, enslaved him with magic, and were then forged by him.

In the process, the efreets used the djinn magic they mastered to try to interfere with the form of the fire dwarves, making them closer to the salamanders.

After giving birth to a fire genasi with the drow, the efreets in Obsidian City tried to combine the fire genasi with the fire dwarves to give birth to beings who had the talents of fire dwarves and were easy to enslave.

As a result, the experiment was not ideal. The fire genasi born in this way only had little forging talent and had a strong rebellious mentality.

However, the fire djinn will still reward the drow who made mistakes to the fire dwarves or salamanders, trying to wait for a coincidence to give birth to an individual that meets their expectations.

"Two groups of slaves escaped from Obsidian City before. Did they come to the fortress again?"

Before Xie could speak, Jialian took a step forward and started communicating with the fire dwarf opposite.

Naturally, Scorpion does not know the Fire Tribe language. During the previous actions, everyone completely forgot about the fact that the efreeti had begun to change the official language of Obsidian City to the Fire Tribe language.

Fortunately, Jialian and others still understand, otherwise the secret would have been exposed just after the infiltration operation started.

"No!"

After answering very forcefully, the fire dwarf glanced at the leader Scorpion dissatisfiedly, and then turned to leave.

At this moment, Jialian continued: "We need to go in and take a look! The leader of the Salamanders said that you sometimes hide those slaves."

Hearing these words, the squad leader turned around and stared at Gallian with his bronze body eyes, his flame beard and hair burning a little more intensely.

The scene suddenly came to a standstill.

"What did you just say?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little strange, Xie finally couldn't help it anymore.

Since these fire dwarves could not understand the Elvish language, she turned her head and started talking to Gallian as if no one else was around.

After telling Xie about the conversation just now, Xie thought quickly and then quickly came up with an idea.

"Tell him that we will walk around inside and then leave. This is all to cope with the master's orders."

After hesitantly telling the fire dwarf this sentence, the originally glaring fire dwarf blinked suspiciously, and then actually stepped aside and allowed everyone to enter.

"How do you know he will allow us to go in?"

This operation shocked Gallian, and she couldn't figure out why the fire dwarf became so easy to talk all of a sudden.

On the side, Xie sneered.

"Because he feels that what you just said is more likely to arouse the anger of the efreeti than them hiding the drow. If we see something we shouldn't see later, they will threaten us with this matter."

In a magical world, something that does not involve high-level power can be verified to be true or false in many ways.

If Scorpion and the fire dwarf captain go to court, the fire dwarf can easily verify it with the spells of the prophecy school or the magic control school.

Sure enough, after crossing the urn city of the fortress and entering the real fortress, the fire dwarf immediately threatened Xie and the others in the Fire language.

Gallian protested with an angry expression and Fire Tribe language, but finally nodded and agreed to help the fire dwarves hide their secret possession of drow.

After confirming that this team of drow was controlled by him, the fire dwarf captain ignored Xie and the others and went directly back to the city wall.

Walking in the fortress, everyone could occasionally hear the painful roars of the drow.

Shadow used Shadow Step to secretly check the situation in a house, but soon returned with a gloomy expression.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Ying's expression a little strange, Xie asked quickly.

"Those fire dwarves poured their own fire of life directly into the bodies of the drow, trying to use this method to give birth to the next generation. They seemed to want to use certain characteristics of flesh and blood to escape the control of the elf dwarves."

Because of the djinn magic, these enslaved fire dwarves can only resist the efreet's orders to a limited extent.

Just like the fire dwarf captain, he didn't want to guard this fortress where almost nothing would happen out of his own will. It was actually the elf dwarf's orders that restricted his actions.

Otherwise, he might be studying how to forge his next generation or forge weapons.

The fire giants certainly knew this situation, otherwise they would not try to crossbreed a new race to accept their slavery.

In this regard, the fire giants are far inferior to the mind flayers.

The slaves controlled by the mind flayers are all supporting their masters from the bottom of their hearts because of the influence of psychic energy, unless they break free from the influence of psychic energy.

Scorpion did not express his opinion on what Shadow saw.

"Hurry up and investigate the defense situation here. Leave when the investigation is almost done. We are not here to save them, we just want to leave here!"

Without the slightest sympathy, Scorpion gestured to disperse the rest of the drow, leaving only Jialian and Shadow to act with him.

The fire dwarves were somewhat interested in these drow who could move freely, but the captain seemed to have informed everyone of Scorpion and their identities, so they could only watch.

If killing these people attracted the fire giants, the days of these fire dwarves would be difficult.

After most of the day, Scorpion took Shadow, Jialian and the rest of the drow out of the Fire Dwarf Fortress.

…

That night, Carl looked at the fortress defense map drawn by a group of drow and fell into deep thought.

This defense map was quite detailed, and even included the model and general structure of the city wall crossbow.

This allowed Carl to infer the approximate range of the crossbow through his professional knowledge.

The reason why Carl was thinking was that he had a new idea after talking with Bain and Thorin not long ago.

In Carl's previous life, there was a rumor that: when three or more males get together, one of them will automatically evolve into an idea king, who will have many strange ideas and try to put them into practice.

Carl is now almost in this state of an idea king.

And his source of inspiration was Bain's battle to wipe out the Obsidian City Drow Squad.

When both sides have mastered the advantage of firepower coverage, what can allow one side to dominate?

The answer is range!

If you can't hit the enemy, no matter how strong your firepower is, it's useless!

Therefore, Carl felt that the firepower of his constructs could be upgraded.

"I remember the principle of the rocket should be...

It should be similar to the rain bomb, right?"

Taking out the design drawings of the construct, Carl woke up from his contemplative state and began to write down his ideas on the draft paper.

That night, on the big bed surrounded by Hope and Ying, Carl closed his eyes and entered the dream world.

During this period of time, Carl has been studying the manufacturing method of the teleportation array machine, because this is their last resort.

But today, Carl rarely began to simulate something else.

In the second layer of the dream, which has added many runes and mechanical structures, Carl observed a standard-looking rocket and continuously optimized its structure and the magic patterns that needed to be attached.

Not only that, he even used a scaled-down version of the rocket and the construct army to conduct a battle drill with the simulated mini fortress.

The results of the simulation did not look too optimistic, because it was unreliable to want to wipe out more than 3,000 fire dwarves at once.

The construction of the constructs has already kept Carl and Galian busy, and with the addition of rockets...

"How about a three-stage attack? First, fire a round of electromagnetic cannons, advance a certain distance, and then use rockets to clean up the ground. When the enemy is at the gates, use solid nitrogen and the remaining electromagnetic cannons to bombard in turn?"

After learning that the connection between the fire dwarves and the fire giants is not as close as he thought, Carl no longer fears how much trouble he can make.

Most of his previous plans were based on blitzkrieg and sneak attacks, but now there is only "bomb him MD".

This is because the fire dwarves are too resistant to fire, otherwise Carl would have tried a few white phosphorus bombs.

Carl pondered over and over for a whole night, and he finally woke up when Hope got up to prepare dinner.

But at this time, he had decided on his strategy and planned to use the three-stage attack he had conceived before to attack the fire dwarf fortress.

Of course, before that, he needed to prepare sufficient ammunition.

...

Storm Bay, Bastion Base

With the rapid construction of those buildings, Storm Bay is becoming prosperous again at an astonishing speed.

The adventurers who survived various events have begun to go out for adventures, and ordinary people who have installed bionic prostheses have also begun to emerge with the power of prostheses.

At least among ordinary adventurers around level three, people who have undergone prosthetic transformation have certain advantages in physical strength and attack power.

This has led to the disappearance of ordinary jobs in Storm Bay in a strange way.

People were surprised to find that with the gradual improvement of Carl's town planning, many seemingly important jobs did not need to waste labor to do.

Just some relatively crude constructs can take on those dirty and tiring jobs.

But people soon realized that once they were too weak to adventure and gain anything, they would not even be qualified to beg.

But there are almost no such people in Storm Bay today.

The plague of the Son of Winter and the subsequent tree monsters killed most of the truly weak people.

This seaside town is left with only young and middle-aged workers and still-vigorous middle-aged people.
