572.If you become a friend of one dwarf, you will be a friend of all dwarves - additional update [14/30] (page 2/2)
We must form a second line of defense in Shadow Valley, ma'am, to prevent the worst from happening..
Once the worst happens, Shadow Valley can at least provide you with a place of refuge to avoid the tragedy of the fourth black disaster..
One hundred and ten years ago, more than 10,000 people who guarded this place died in one night, including many famous figures on the continent. I admire their courage very much, but if they had made preparations earlier, they might have retained more strength..”
“The defenses at Black Flame Pass during the Fourth Black Disaster were as good as a child's toy compared to now.！”
The female warrior wearing a helmet retorted disdainfully：
“After the last black disaster, Lord Paying has been thinking of ways to strengthen the system here. Over the past hundred years, we have increased the number of fortresses five times, and dug caves and storage rooms for hiding soldiers underground. Enough food to feed tens of thousands of people for several months is already in place.
Brass dwarves and halflings have brought enough munitions to blow up an entire mountain..
I don't disdain your military prowess, Governor Murphy, but we can stay here until we die of old age.！”
“Of course, of course, you have the capital.”
Murphy shrugged.：
“I am not a professional soldier or commander, and I have no intention of arguing with you in your professional field, Ms. Heather, I just have never heard of you having such a hobby? Are you pretending like this just to test my worth as the governor of Transia?？”
“ha？”
That female Nord warrior wearing a war helmet still wants to act stupid.
However, under Murphy's faint gaze, she made a snort of disdain, and the flash of a rune stone on her wrist revealed her true appearance..
Just like Marshal Loren, a short half-man.
But Ms. Heather, the second lord of the Blood Alliance Knights, is much more handsome than Loren, that mean-spirited dwarf..
A suit of brass dwarf exquisite plate armor covers the body. The angular armor has goat head decorations on the shoulders. Coupled with the tight fitting way of wearing it, Lord Heather looks like a short man made of steel..
As in the legend, she wears a dwarven-style full-coverage battle helmet, with only a V-shaped observation hole exposed at the eyes. The helmet is topped with two carefully shaped horns, which looks full of intimidation..
Lord Heather is a shield warrior.
Her weapon is two shields, which sounds strange, but the round shield on her back is a terrifying structure with edged edges. With the deadly flying shield skills of the shield warriors, this thing can bounce quickly among the enemies. It causes horrific damage, not to mention that the powerful shield warrior is almost invincible in defense mode..
Exaggerated rumors say that gold-level shield warriors like Ms. Heather can guarantee that they will exhaust their opponents to death in battles of the same level..
To be honest, if Lord Heather's plate armor hadn't been covered with the robe of the Blood Alliance Knights, Murphy would have thought that this guy was a pure dwarf rather than a dwarf vampire..
Well, the words dwarf and vampire feel very awkward just putting them together, and the descendants of the Earth Mother will not allow themselves to be shaped into such a depraved posture after death..
Therefore, the number of dwarf vampires is the smallest among all vampires. According to Tris, there are no more than two hundred dwarf vampires in the entire continent, and Lord Heather is undoubtedly the most famous one in this unique group..
Her story is a secret.
Even among the Blood Knights, few people know why Lord Heather accepted Lord Paying's first embrace and became a vampire..
This is her taboo.
At this time, after Lord Heather took off her disguise, she put her hands on her hips in a very unhappy manner and looked up at Murphy, who was very tall and had a damn smile..
she said：
“I have confirmed that, just as little Loren's letter said, you are a complete military idiot! You have absolutely no idea how powerful the defenses of Black Flame Pass are, but I won’t correct you either..
Murphy, Lord Paying values you very much, so if you really want to waste time building your defenses in Shadow Valley, that's up to you, but I have a request.！
After I issue the order, your soldiers will come to support the defense line！
You have already stepped onto the battlefield, it’s time to smell the gunpowder.”
“Of course, this is for you and my General Maxim to discuss. I will not interfere..”
In order to take care of the strange self-esteem of the dwarves, Murphy squatted down and looked at Lord Heather's eyes with satisfaction..
he said：
“Now that Marshal Loren has written to you, you should know why I came here, regarding the burning gold purchase of Transia.”
“The first batch of the Hoffmann family's gold-burning powder is already on its way.”
Adhering to the straightforward style of the dwarves, Lord Heather spread his hands and said：
“It will arrive at your Scarlet Castle in another week. Time is tight, so my nephew, the current head of the Hoffman family, rented a halfling airship to complete the transportation. We can hand over the fuel reserve at the lowest price. You, this is because you and your Triss helped the frost dwarves recover the remains of their high lord..
We dwarves have always had a clear line of grudges. You have done great things, so you are our dwarves’ friend..
But friends are friends, business should be done separately.
You'll pay for the rental of that airship.
Well, my nephew rented it for about three months, maybe you guys will need it in the war too.
Halfling airships are very useful, but it's a pity that they are few in number, otherwise the defense line at Black Flame Pass would be more stable..”
“Well, I must express my gratitude from the bottom of my heart for your generosity, my dear Lord Heather.”
Murphy’s praise this time was without any exaggeration..
Although Lord Heather was speaking very rudely in front of him, her assistance to Transia made the dwarves' impression of the dwarf race in Murphy's mind suddenly full..
“Compared with you, Marshal Loren is really a third-rate dwarf. He has not inherited the generosity that a dwarf should have, but it is not his fault. After all, he is only half dwarf..”
Murphy says：
“If you have the opportunity in the future, you must go to Scarlet Castle as a guest. I will treat you with the highest VIP etiquette. Oh, by the way, Mark, take out the gift we brought to Lord Heather..”
He called out, and Maxim immediately took out a box of wine from the carriage and placed it next to Lord Heather..
Murphy said proudly：
“This is a specialty of Transia. We call it 'Flying' wine. The great master craftsman of the Silver Dwarves, His Excellency Ilyich, said it was a good idea after drinking it! This is obviously a drink that suits your taste, but that damn short guy Loren is ignorant.”
“etc! what did you just say？”
Lord Heather, who had just picked up a bottle of wine, was originally very happy and thought that Murphy was quite capable of doing things. However, the "Dwarf Dignity Radar" that was turned on 24 hours a day quickly captured a damn thing that could trigger the anger of all dwarves. words.
The smile on Murphy's face solidified at this moment.
Seeing that Heather had pulled out the round shield from behind, the Vampire Governor coughed, and regardless of the fact that it was daytime, he opened his wings and jumped into the sky with a whoosh..
he shouted from a distance：
“That. I suddenly remembered that I have to go to Hungry Mountain. That is a personal matter, so I go first, Mark! You stay here to discuss military affairs with Lord Heather. You must learn with an open mind and learn two tricks from the Lord..”
“snap”
Murphy, who was high in the air, waved his molten sword to block the shield thrown by Lord Heather angrily from below. The counterattack of the Sanction Sword of the Blood Alliance clan caused the round shield to bounce back to the ground along the route it came from, and was hit by Heather. Take it in your hand.
After this impact, Murphy had already jumped into the sky and disappeared..
On the ground, Lord Heather angrily yelled the dwarves' "hometown dialect" and vowed to tear Murphy's mouth open, apparently because the damn name "short man" was too insulting to the dwarves..
Everyone around Maxim is numb now..
Murphy can run, but he can't.
He came with a military mission. Looking at the angry eyes under Lord Heather's helmet, Maxim could only laugh twice..
Fortunately, Heather is a vampire after all, and the blood of the Sinspawn diluted her dwarf's violent personality, allowing her to calm down after drinking a few bottles of wine..
The rumors are true, this lord will not take off his war helmet even when drinking..
“Hey, you can actually block the flying shield from my angry attack. It seems that you, Lord Murphy, are quite capable..”
A few minutes later, Lord Heather sat on the wine box and glanced at Maxim, who had been beaten but could still stand with gritted teeth, and she whispered：
“No wonder the Lord values him so much. Hey, at this age and with this kind of strength, he has a bright future. You are not bad at all. When are you going to start the Silver Trial? Your violent fighting style is very similar to that of the dwarves, so would you like me to give you some advice?？
For the sake of all this wine.”
