With that said, George actually took off his combat helmet and gave Liu Yifei a bowing salute. This time, Liu Yifei was different from the previous humility and politeness or careful restraint of the other party's impulses, but he accepted the salute from the other party with an indifferent expression.

, watched the dwarf uncle stand up again after saluting, and then continued:

"Very good~

Uncle George, finally we have met and you can still give me a fair evaluation.

kindness......

Not bad~

If anyone wants to ask me how Liuyun got through this journey, then I just want to say that kindness and luck are my biggest reliance.

But please listen to me, Uncle George.

Since you also said that I am benevolent, why are you afraid that I will endanger the safety of your tribe?

I was kind before. I am kind now, and in the future, I will also be me, kind me, kind Liuyun!

Maybe my ambition has indeed exceeded your imagination, but to your people, I will always be just an ordinary lord.

You surrender to me and be loyal to me, and I will allow you to be safe. I will allow you to be protected~

Perhaps your people have been going out for training recently, but Uncle George, you should have seen it too.

Except for a very small number, which is really a small loss that I can't take into account despite my best efforts, most of the rest of the tribe not only came back, but also became stronger~

This is what I am happy to see and the only thing I pursue!

Therefore, I have my goals. But I will never involve you because of this and make you suffer the crisis of annihilation of your race!

If you still have concerns, Uncle George...then what if I make a divine contract?

I shall grant your people protection and freedom!

You serve me with loyalty, and I protect you with kindness~

If one day my kindness is no longer there, then you should take back your freedom and leave here. Leave Puni City and rebuild your home wherever you want to go.

I, Liuyun, swear in the name of the Lord of Darkness that I will abide by my oath today to protect my subordinates and join my dwarf clan.

They will never become my sacrificial pawns, nor will they be subverted by me.

I will allow them to prosper and continue their heirs in this mountain, and I will forever protect its safety..."

Without giving George any chance to speak... it can even be said that the other party was stunned and completely lost the ability to speak~

In fact, the dwarf clan has always been Liu Yifei's vassal subordinates, but the "agreement" was made by Elder Mokmola and Liu Yifei. George was just a bystander, or the heir to the agreement.

.

Therefore, I have full gratitude and respect for Liu Yifei, but I have to say that the recent rapid expansion of the strength of the entire Plague City... and even the so-called "Plague Alliance" has made George faintly worried.

What to worry about?

Naturally, he is worried that his entire tribe will be swallowed up by this terrifying military alliance...

In fact, George already had a similar feeling at the moment, but compared with the Plague City, the power of the dwarves is basically like a giant in the clouds and a newborn child. Even if he is worried, he does not dare to show any concern.

objection.

Not to mention anything else, George, the "Ghost Frontier Force" hidden in the Sighing Mountains, was responsible for sending them freshly forged first-line military equipment more than once, in order to arm the already terrifying army to the teeth.

, making it a more fierce and terrifying killing machine!

And even that kind of legion... is actually just the tip of the iceberg compared to the opponent's in terms of combat power.

What kind of strength does Liu Yun have in his hands... What does he want to do... Will there be any terrible dangers that will befall the dwarves in the future? Various concerns have been filling George's mind recently.

For example, the "Golden Army" Liu Yifei wants to create.

Although it has greatly increased the high-end production capacity of the entire Puni City, resulting in a rapid increase in the number of "dwarf blacksmiths", it has also indirectly increased the number of "dwarf master blacksmiths"...but this makes George feel somewhat uncomfortable.

.

If nothing else, just having those tribesmen whom George considered "weak" rush to the front lines of the battlefield was enough to worry him!

Although the city of Puni is now prosperous, this is the only remaining power of the dwarf lineage left in the Sighing Mountains.

This tribe has experienced too many hardships from the time it was forced to carve its way out of the elves until it was inherited~

Especially the recent invasion and outburst of the power of chaos has caused the fall of all the top leaders of the dwarf clan. "Sages" such as Elder Mokmora who were able to lead the clan to revival have fallen. How can we not let this happen?

George feels worried?

It is different from the excitement and complacency of other careerists when they realize that they have become the "leader".

George knew exactly what kind of guy he was.

Or have some strength. But it is simply not worth mentioning compared to the likes of Great Elder Mokmora [after all, one is at the spiritual level, and the other's real strength is at the legendary level, which is two big levels behind], and in terms of wisdom.

.....Besides blacksmithing, what else do you do?

You can say nothing!

It is this kind of self...such an incompetent self...now he has become the "number one" in the entire tribe!

This undeserved feeling did not make George feel the joy of the day or the feeling of being in power. It only made him almost wake up. What he was worried about was the future of the tribe and his people~

Can I do what the great elder expects me to do and lead the tribe to continue on its path?

Can I live up to the trust of my clansmen and maintain a good cooperative relationship between them and Lord Liuyun?

Can I control the situation and not make the entire dwarves become puppets of powerful forces?

Too many questions...too many worries...

Although Uncle George looked like a normal person a while ago, in fact, his hair was almost turning gray!

Especially Liu Yifei's idea of ​​forming a "Golden Army"...

George had never thought about making his tribe stronger than ever before...or he had indeed thought about it, because after all, strength was the only way to rejuvenate the tribe, but he was not in a hurry for this moment!

Hundreds of years have passed, are they in a hurry at this moment?

But where is the battlefield?

George didn't know anything else, except that "battlefield" always meant danger...and death!

Going on expeditions with Liu Yifei's army has become a common occurrence for George. But even though he is used to ordering people to go, George is still frightened by those experiences every time and can't sleep at night~

Because from the beginning to the end, Liu Yifei seemed to have never led them to fight a "simple" enemy!

His opponents are always stronger than him [mainly opponents who are weaker than Liu Yifei, and he doesn't need to use dwarf troops at all, so old George is very sad. All the battles he has seen are against strong men]!

His enemies are always more formidable than their armies!

Such a battlefield is filled with countless dangers. One wrong step can only result in being shattered to pieces~

Just like Elder Mokmola said, Liuyun is very lucky and very smart~

He has not taken a wrong step so far, and has been growing stronger... But can he maintain this state?

Especially when his tribe began to be armed in groups and forced to go to the battlefield like an army... What if he took the wrong step?

You know, those were all ordinary dwarf civilians!

They shouldn't go to such a dangerous place. They can't afford to go to such a dangerous place!

The reason why old George and other dwarf warriors have been working hard to train and strengthen themselves is to protect these compatriots. Can they no longer endure bloodshed and sacrifice?

But when they were forced to step onto the battlefield again, old George couldn't even say the word "no".

Just because... the person who gave the order was "Liu Yun"! He was the person who saved the lives of their entire clan. He was also the person who carried the trust of the Great Elder Mokmola!

However, what the other party can never know is...

When the other party told him for the first time that how many troops had returned from the war and how many people had been killed, that night, George drank desperately the most unpleasant barley wine he could drink, but stared at the people in front of him with wide eyes.

Candlelight until dawn.

He always remembers that number!

Six thousand men went into battle, and 137 were killed [Battle of Banliez]...

One hundred and thirty-seven...that's one hundred and thirty-seven living lives! One hundred and thirty-seven of my compatriots...

There were even women and half-grown children among them!!!

In that war, the dwarf tribe was indeed significantly strengthened, and the people who came back from the battlefield were significantly improved~

But... But what George was thinking about was only those 137 lives. Those tribesmen who were left on the battlefield forever, and even the bodies could not be brought back [System refresh. Why don't you bring it back?

return】......

George indeed hopes that the tribe will become stronger as soon as possible, but...is this the way?

He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't think of any good solutions, but the worry in his heart grew stronger day by day, until Liu Yun continued to order "troop training" and continued to transport his tribesmen in batches to places that even George didn't know...

..And that has become a nightmare in George’s heart recently~

Although tribesmen still return from outside every week...and they bring significantly enhanced strength! It can almost be said that it has shortened the time that those dwarf compatriots normally need to spend several years or even more than ten years to slowly improve their strength.

process~
To be continued...
