When the Wood Elf Legion followed the dwarf leader Bronzebeard Iron Hammer to the place where the dwarves lived,
They discovered that the situation in the place where the dwarves lived was far worse than they imagined!
The flames extinguished deep in the cave, with dozens of dwarves curled up next to them,
Their faces were blue, wrapped only in thin animal skins, relying on each other's body heat to barely survive;
In the corner, several dwarf women are trying to cook bark soup with the last trace of charcoal, giving the last bit of food to their children;
And those dwarf children are even more terrifyingly quiet, they don’t even have the strength to cry!
When the dwarves in the cave heard footsteps, they thought it was the dwarf leader who had returned.
Even though they all knew it well,
They knew that in this case, the dwarf leader could not bring back more food,
But this extremely cruel winter still made them have an extravagant desire, hoping that the dwarf leader could bring back food.
When all the dwarves' eyes were focused on the entrance of the cave,
Unexpected!
The dwarf leader Bronzebeard Iron Hammer was still wearing a thin animal skin when he came back. When he came back, he had changed into a woolen garment.
All the dwarves in the cave thought that the dwarf leader went out to get food this time.
Just when hope arose in my heart,
I saw a heavily armed elven force following behind the dwarves!
Suddenly, hope was dashed!
What replaced it was huge terror!
"How come there is an elven army here?"
"Could it be that the group of dwarves who were just taken away by the dwarf leader and dwarf scouts have all been captured now?"
"What should I do?!"
"Next, will we become slaves of the elves?"
Huge fear overwhelmed these dwarves who had no food to maintain their bodies.
Their brains were unable to face the situation at this time and make the most appropriate judgment.
When fear rushed into the brain,
Some dwarves wanted to stand up and run away,
But the dwarves, who had been hungry for more than ten days and only relied on drinking melted snow water to maintain their bodies, had no strength at all.
After taking a few steps forward, they fell down directly.
Some dwarves were trembling with fear,
An unpleasant smell was produced!
· Seeing this scene, the dwarf leader Bronzebeard Iron Hammer felt a little embarrassed at this time.
· After all, along the way, the dwarf leader Bronzebeard·Iron Hammer had successfully changed his thinking.
"As long as our dwarf race can continue to continue, it's good!"
According to this line of thinking,
The dwarf leader who has completely believed that he is also a member of the great Elf God at this time, naturally wants to show his own value to the best,
However, this scene now seems a bit embarrassing!
However, Fianna, the leader of the Elf Army, did not say anything.
Instead, she asked the dwarf leader to explain to the dwarves below.
The dwarf leader, who had already understood what he needed to do, did not refuse.
"As you can see!"
"This sudden and cruel winter has taken away too many precious things around us, whether it is your husband, wife, children, or It's the previous old leader! "
"They were all taken away by this cruel and merciless natural disaster!"
As the dwarf leader spoke, some of the dwarves who wanted to escape and were frightened also recovered.
"This group of elves does not seem to want to massacre them, capture them and turn them into slaves!"
"But there is no way, we cannot deal with this natural disaster!"
"But now this group of elves from another continent has brought us hope!"
"This group of elves promised that as long as we build weapons for them, they will provide us with safe shelter, sufficient food, and warm weather!"
"We have lost many people!"
"We can't lose any more!"
"So, in my own name, I agree to the request of this group of elves!"
As soon as the dwarf leader finished speaking,
A murmur immediately broke out in the dwarf community.
Some people are angry, some are hesitant, but most of them are shaken by hunger and cold.
But when they saw the wooden barrels filled with fresh broth brought by the wood elf supply team,
The rich and alluring aroma of meat filled their midst.
The dwarves, who had not eaten for more than ten days, suddenly became vulnerable to the temptation of the broth!
Then he looked at the Wood Elf supplies team, and then took the woolen clothes and wool blankets displayed in the cave,
Many dwarves were greedy,
But when they saw the wood elves guarding the team next to them who were all in iron armor and made of iron swords,
Suddenly, they put their little care back!
The remaining dwarves continued to quarrel,
But as time passed,
The voices opposing the dwarf leader became smaller and smaller, and the voices of the dwarves who supported the dwarf leader's decision became louder and louder!
When half an hour passed, all the dwarves agreed with the decision made by the dwarf leader,
Decided to surrender to the wood elves and build weapons for them in the future!
· Seeing this scene, the dwarf leader Bronzebeard Iron Hammer also let out a breath.
· The wood elf army next to him was obviously impatient to wait.
· If the remaining dwarves could not discuss a unanimous result,
· Then he would have to abandon some of his companions!
Fortunately, the result now is the best!
When the remaining dwarves in the cave agreed with the dwarf leader's decision, the next thing became simple.
Under the shock of the wood elf guard, all the dwarves came forward to receive the food one by one.
While receiving food, the Wood Elf Legion also began to record the number of dwarves living in the cave.
Based on the information provided by the dwarf leader Bronzebeard Iron Hammer, as well as the wood elf's own records, we finally reached the following conclusion:
There are currently 176 mountain dwarves alive,
Among them, 98 are male dwarves, 58 female dwarves, and 20 dwarf children.
And after a short recovery, 40 dwarves are able to move.
These 40 dwarves,
Under the arrangement of the elf army leader Fianna,
Among them, 30 dwarves, leading the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled dwarves, left this continent together,
On the way, half of the wood elf guard team and the wood elves from the supply team escorted the dwarves back to the divine realm.
At that time, at the edge of the two continents, there will be wood elves arranged by the Elf Queen Annobel to receive them.
The remaining wood elves used this cave to take a short rest.
Wait until the supply team and the escort team have escorted most of the dwarves.
They will return with the supplies tomorrow.
