Chapter 482: Elder Red Beard, the Great Wall was Broken
Lu Chen walked outside the mine and saw three dwarves walking on the path in the forest.
The dwarves in this world are not dwarves, but the height will not exceed 1.5 meters, generally around 1.4 meters.
Although short in stature, he is stout and strong craftsman by nature.
The dwarf headed by him was about 1.4 meters tall. His lower body was wearing navy blue pants of unknown material, and his upper body was a short white vest. Calluses on palms.
There are shallow wrinkles on his forehead, indicating that he is old, and his red beard is tied into two braids underneath, which is also the source of his name.
When a dwarf is born, his parents will give him a nickname, and when he becomes an adult, he will give him a new name based on his own characteristics, achievements and reputation.
From this moment on, except for parents and relatives, other people can no longer call an adult dwarf by his nickname, they can only call him by his name to show respect.
Dwarves are very rigid in this regard, and even the most gentle and generous dwarves will be angry if you call them wrong.
"Hahaha, Duke Godzilla, my friend, you still look so young."
Seeing Lu Chen coming out to greet him, Chixu laughed and walked up, the two red whips trembled and swayed, which didn't look ridiculous, but just highlighted his boldness.
"Elder Chixu, you look stronger, have you created the artifact in your mind over the years?"
Lu Chen had done his homework in advance, and had already thought about what to say in greeting.
He had a good impression of the dwarves in this world, and the red-bearded elder in front of him was also the one who spoke for him when he was being judged.
According to Duke Godzilla's memory, he met Elder Chibeard when he went to the dwarves to discuss equipment matters. Good impression of Duke Godzilla.
"Haha, don't mention this. The artifact is so easy to make. It's just that a lot of good wine has been brewed. It's a pity that I went out in a hurry this time and didn't bring it with me."
Chixu shook his head. He was going north this time to go to the Great Forest of Ethir, but he just passed by the Warcraft Mountains, and the elves don't like to drink.
Lu Chen led the way, and said as he walked, "How are the dwarves these years?"
Speaking of this, Chixu also sighed, "It's also not easy. The coming of the abyss seems to be eroding this continent. There is no food in many places in our area. If there is no food in the past few years, there will be famine now. "
Lu Chen took Chixu and his two entourages to a reception room he had prepared in advance. Although it was simple, it was already the best place in the mine, and it had better sound insulation.
After taking his seat, Lu Chen said, "It seems that you and I have the same thoughts. If this continues, even if the abyss does not break through the Great Wall, the Aika Continent will die slowly."
Lu Chen took the tea made by Gu Lanting. Gree couldn't do this kind of work. He was only suitable for supervising the mining of the supporters.
After receiving the tea, Chixu thanked him politely. Although the dwarves are rough, Chixu, as an elder, is actually a person who understands etiquette. He traveled to the mainland when he was young, and his knowledge and experience are extraordinary.
"Hey, it will be the turn of the orcs to defend in a few years. They will be even more backward in terms of production. I am afraid that the next 500 years will be very sad."
Chixu took a sip of tea, and some water stains remained on his beard, but he didn't care.
Lu Chen gave Gu Lanting a wink, and Gu Lanting went out to guard in case someone approached and eavesdropped.
Seeing this scene, Chixu knew that the other party must have something important to tell him. He smiled, "The two around me are the most outstanding fighters of the dwarves, but the Duke said it's okay."
Lu Chen said: "Actually, I have already responded to the food problem, and I am currently researching new seeds that can grow quickly on barren land."
The tea in Chixu's hand splashed a little, and he was surprised, "Really?"
Then he looked a little stunned again, "No wonder, the Beastman King retreated because of this, right?"
He heard about Duke Godzilla's release from prison, and about the other party's envoy to the west to negotiate with the orcs. When he knew that the Kya Empire hadn't handed over food, the orcs would retreat. He was still puzzled.
Unexpectedly, the Duke of Godzilla still holds such a sharp weapon in his hands. Indeed, if there are new seeds that can completely solve the food crisis, it is just a temporary patience, and even the orcs can weigh it clearly.
"The old friend is as wise as I remember."
Lu Chen smiled, "Don't worry, if the new seeds are researched, they will also be given to the dwarves."
Chixu was moved, this is a strategic material, "Do you need any terms of exchange?"
Lu Chen shook his head, "No need, it's just a proof of our friendship."
Chixu understood a little bit. It turned out that King Kushra didn't know about the new seed. This was just a plan carried out by Duke Godzilla himself.
Chixu laughed heartily, "Then my old friend, if you need it in the future, you can come to the dwarves to find me, and we will create the best equipment for you."
Originally, he just dropped by to meet his old friend, but he didn't expect to have such a big harvest. After returning, the dwarf king will definitely not suffer from insomnia when he gets the news.
"If you need."
Lu Chen smiled and said that he had already started to make arrangements.
The orcs and dwarves of the Aika continent are his potential allies. If the battle with the abyss worsens in the future, he can try to get additional support.
As for the elves, it is really difficult to deal with.
According to Eriyi, as long as the elves see humans, let alone enter the Great Forest of Ethir, even if they get close to the edge, they may be killed.
He has now regained the Moon Wolf Clan. According to Anarius, they actually have a special relationship with the Elf Clan. Lu Chen is thinking about when to take advantage of the Moon Wolf Clan and go to the Elf Clan.
He always felt a little uneasy when he didn't see Eri Yi's face.
And now that he has passed some information, he can basically be sure that there should be other secrets behind the orc and human invasion of the Great Aisher Forest.
The aesthetics of the people of the Keya Empire in this world is very strange. They actually don’t think elves with pointed ears are good-looking. At that time, the overall strength of the human race was not stronger than that of the elves, and the mainland was not as barren as it is today.
Therefore, the possibility of attacking the elves due to supplies, food, and sexual desires can be ruled out.
As for the orc, he didn't want to be driven by the lower body like a certain work he had read secretly from the treasure chest of a certain chaotic space explorer.
In the eyes of the orc race, the human race and the elf race are... equally ugly.
They like furry creatures, which look ugly to them without hair or tail.
It is impossible for the orcs to attack the Great Forest of Ethir due to lack of food. Lu Chen didn't know about it before. After learning more about the world, he finally figured out the map section.
From the middle of the Great Wall down, the first is the Human Race's Keya Empire, which is basically in the center of the mainland.
To the west of the Keya Empire is the prairie of the orcs, to the south is the Warcraft Mountains, to the south is the territory of the dwarves, and to the south is the Valley of Dragons.
And to the east of the empire is the vast Aisher Forest.
In other words, if the orcs want to attack the Great Forest of Ethir, it is equivalent to running from the west to the east. They did not use the Keya Empire, but walked through the plains south of the Warcraft Mountains, and went around to attack the Great Ethir. forest.
There is obviously an important reason for such a laborious and thankless task.
If there is a real shortage of food to be robbed, it should be directly robbing the human race that borders them.
"Old friend, to be honest, I'm going to the Aisher Forest this time, do you need my help to bring the message?"
Chixu asked, he knew that Duke Godzilla's lover was an elf princess.
Lu Chen was silent for a while, "...No, I will go in person."
Chixu frowned, "Old friend, the elves are not easy to mess with. They will use magic to hang you up and roast you."
Seeing that Lu Chen's eyes were calm, he finally sighed, "Oh, you guys are really destined."
Chixu really wanted to advise Lu Chen not to go to the elves, because he was afraid that there would be another war between the human race and the elves.
The man in front of him even killed the guardian dragon for the elf princess. Driven by the pain of lovesickness, it is hard to say whether he will go to the elves to snatch her.
And I can see that the Duke is not desperate. When he said that he would go to them to build equipment, although his tone was relaxed, he could see that the other party was serious.
Build equipment for himself?
Of course not, only for his new... army.
Thinking of this, Chixu asked with interest: "On the way here, I heard that the mine was dragged into the seal of the Moon God. Since you came out, does that mean..."
Lu Chen nodded. There is nothing to hide. I am afraid that in a few days, the whole world will know, "The moon wolf clan has come out now, and they are scattered in the monster mountain range to hunt monsters."
Even though Chixu had already guessed the answer, he still couldn't help feeling a little emotional, "It seems that the old friend is not far from being active again on the battlefield."
He personally thinks that no matter how stupid King Khosla is, he will not let this power go unused. After all, guarding the Great Wall will kill people. Wouldn't it be great to let Duke Godzilla come back and bring the moon wolf clan over there.
"Lend your auspicious words."
Lu Chen is not so optimistic. He knows this "brother" very well now. He is completely immature and incompetent. There will be no compromise.
He is not in a hurry to build weapons for the dwarves. When he regains his military power and uses the moon wolf clan to form an army again, he will go tailor-made for the soldiers and moon wolves.
The dwarves are very trustworthy and value friendship, and I believe that they will not blackmail themselves in terms of processing fees.
dong dong dong-
When the host and guest were enjoying themselves in the house, there was a hasty knock on the door.
Gu Lanting would not make such a low-level mistake and let people come over, so he can only knock on the door himself, and there is an urgent matter.
"Enter."
After Lu Chen opened his mouth, Gu Lanting pushed the door and entered with a solemn expression.
"My lord, the Great Wall... has fallen!"
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, he never thought that such a thing would happen suddenly.
Chixu and his two subordinates in the room were also shocked, because Gu Lanting was talking about the fall of the Great Wall, not an emergency!
For many years, since the Great Wall was successfully built, there have been many emergencies, but it has never been lost.
It's like an iron wall, protecting all living beings in the continent of Aika.
"When did this happen?"
Lu Chen's voice was low.
Gu Lanting's eyes were gloomy, "Yesterday morning, we were in an emergency, and this morning we fell. Now the army of the abyss has rushed into the northern border. Commander Reinhardt is fighting and retreating with the remnants to evacuate the northern border people."
The iron handrail in Lu Chen's hand was deformed by him, "Why do we only know now?"
He was shocked by the sudden ferocity of the abyss' attack, and he was also furious that they only found out about such a major event now, which means that someone in the capital suppressed this matter, and did not spread it until today when they couldn't suppress it.
Lei Ze, who stayed in the capital, reported it to himself after he knew about it.
King Kushra, are you taking the life of the human race and the continent of Aika as a trifling matter?
It's such a time, the first time I don't want to deal with the abyss invasion, but think about how to hide it from me?
"How could it be breached? Don't the human race have 300 million defenders on the Great Wall?"
Chixu looked worried, very puzzled.
It's not that the Great Wall's army is weak because King Kushra is incompetent. Those are veterans who have fought many battles.
"We don't know the specific news, but the old wolf said that the Abyss army is huge this time, and there are many lord-level creatures. They attacked desperately. Although there were heavy casualties, they broke through the Great Wall."
Gulantin explained.
Lu Chen was in a depressed mood. The current situation had completely deviated from his plan. He planned to use the northern border as his base.
But now that the Great Wall has been broken, the biggest disaster for the residents of the northern border may not be famine, but the raging abyssal creatures.
"What's the situation now, how many people do we have left?"
Lu Chen knew that the Great Wall's army could not be finished. He had met Jill Reinhardt before, and later checked the other party's information. Although this man was not in the same camp as himself, he was indeed a capable general.
Jill is undoubtedly very proud to come from the Reinhardt family known as the Shield of the Empire. This kind of person would rather die in battle than run away. He should have planned to retreat.
"Rumors are spreading around the capital, and it's very chaotic. It's impossible to analyze the authenticity, but the worst case scenario is that there may be less than one million troops on the Great Wall."
Gu Lanting couldn't say for sure.
Lu Chen pondered slightly, he was not surprised to lose the defense with 100 million left, he also led the army in battle, it doesn't mean that the city will be broken only after you die.
The scope of the Great Wall is very wide, and there are usually only [-] defenders at each key pass. The scouts risk their lives to explore the north every day. After they detect the attacking intention of the abyss, they collectively mobilize the defense.
In an actual war, the troops invested by both sides in a local battlefield usually do not exceed 50. If there are more people, the rest is just a show.
In the face of Abyss' massive attack, if it was a battle to defend the city, if more than two-thirds of the defenders of the Great Wall were killed or injured, it could basically be said to have been defeated, which meant that Abyss had definitely reached the top of the city.
