Dranosh's army of one million orcs moved south along the Sea of Claws and the Kansas Grassland.
Among them, the news that Dranosh's main force marched about 200 kilometers was sent to Storm Fortress by the scouts. At the same time, the outpost left by the dwarves also sent the news to the human kingdom.
The Eternal Peak in the Kansas Mountains, a symbol of the most glorious era of the dwarves, is now more like the last solid refuge. The iron door that was always open in the past has been tightly closed for countless centuries. News of the fall of the dwarf fortresses spread one after another.
Arrive at Eternal Peak.
At first, the mustachioed dwarves of Eternal Peak felt the anger of leaving. Even the white-bearded dwarves were shocked by the continuous news. They found the High King and asked the High King to send troops.
The High King severely rebuked the request to send troops hastily. The available troops in the hands of the High King now are only 10,000 eternal guards and 10,000 dwarf field troops. You must know that most of the dwarf warriors, dwarf miners, and dwarf ranger armies are essentially militia.
.
Naturally, these troops defend the city. Going out of the city to fight the orcs in the field is courting death.
"ah!"
He punched the Big Book of Hatred with his fist, and the Supreme King's face, which looked pale due to excessive anxiety and anxiety, was full of incompetence and rage.
In recent days, news of the fall of dwarf castles one after another has continued to reach the Eternal Peak, and the High King can only add new content to the Big Book of Hatred.
He once determined to settle all the chapters in the Big Book of Hatred and was confident that he had the strength and time, but now there is more and more hatred, and the population of the dwarves is getting smaller and smaller.
The interior of Eternal Peak is now crowded with refugees who have fled from the dwarf fortresses. There are hundreds of people in number and only a few dozen in number.
Some families even had their entire family dead with only a few mustaches left, holding a flag symbolizing the family's glory and issuing bloodthirsty declarations of revenge. The High King didn't know how he should face them.
There are so many dwarves planning to take the oath of becoming butchers that the Grimnir Butcher Shrine simply cannot afford to ordain so many new butchers.
Furthermore, the High King doubted that if this was really done, how many of the clans that had left glorious histories in the past, those fallen dwarf royal families, and the last witnesses of the dwarf castles would survive?
As time went by, the High King suffered more and more blows. When the news of the fall of the Horn Keep reached the Eternal Peak, only the most unscrupulous mustaches and the new butchers who had just taken the butcher's oath dared to talk loudly.
Drive out the orcs and restore our mountains.
"Our family has declined."
"Our race is entering dusk."
The High King sitting on the throne of power vigorously turned the pages of the Big Book of Hatred. The High King hated his own incompetence.
"One generation can only do what it can do for one generation."
The iron glove squeezed hard, holding the blood-soaked quill until it was almost deformed.
Come on, orcs!
Do you orcs want the dwarves' Riptide Pass?
Do you want the dwarf's sea gate?
Let's attack!
Do you orcs want the dwarves' Butcher's Keep?

Let's attack!
You orcs want my dwarf's Eight Peaks Mountain?
Want my butcher's burger?
Come attack!
Dranosh, want my Eternal Peak?
Do you want my throne of power?
Come on you guys!
We dwarves have declined and have entered dusk, but if this is the fate of the dwarves, then I accept it. As the High King of the dwarves, I accept it all!
Even if we dwarfs are down to the last person, the last shield, and the last hammer, we will drag you down and drag you to death!
The iron fist struck down, and the pages of the big book of hatred bounced up.
First Release &: Tower-Read Novel
The High King closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
The atmosphere in Eternal Peak is very bad, and the dwarves are full of despair about their future.
They regretted that they should not have been so anxious to return to the Kansas Mountains when the orcs were defeated. Before they could gain a foothold, the orcs came back to kill them.
This is great, even the human allies are too late to rescue him.
But located in the south of the Eternal Peak, the Eight Peaks Mountain was filled with joy. The Silver Hall here was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the dwarves sang to their heart's content, killing cattle and sheep to welcome the arrival of a distinguished guest and his attendants.
Magni Iron Hammer, the king of the Eight Peaks Mountain, and his queen Komanike entertained the visitors.
Magni was in great spirits. He personally picked up a large dwarf beer glass and filled a glass of Roosevelt No. 10 beer for the visitor:
"Oh, welcome, Your Excellency, very welcome, timely rain, Your Excellency Goodwin!"
"Ha, what's the point? We humans and dwarves are brothers, don't mention these polite words again!"
Knight Goodwin of the Silver Hand straightened his chest and accepted Magni's toast calmly.

He raised his head and took a sip, downing the entire glass of dark beer in one gulp. His bold gesture immediately aroused the admiration of a large circle of dwarven sworn guards around him.
Dwarves like this kind of bold and drinkable guy.
"Okay, okay!" Magni immediately motioned to the attendant to bring in more barrels of wine: "I said, Brother Goodwin..."
"Ah, Lord Magni!"
Goodwin took out his knife and cut off a thigh from the roasted whole lamb next to him. He held it in his hand and ate it like a hungry wolf. He was not polite to Magni at all...
Not long ago, outside the city of Eight Peaks Mountain, Goodwin's appearance helped the Eight Peaks Mountain dwarves win a crucial war.
In the Battle of Camelback Mountain, the two sides were the dwarves of Bafeng Mountain, the dwarves of Haimen Pass, the dwarves of Tiefeng Castle, and the three guards of the Badlands against the orc army.
Magni aimed to completely wipe out the orc forces near Bafeng Mountain through this war. The two sides fought at the foot of Camelback Mountain.
The battle was very fierce. After two days and two nights of non-stop fighting, it seemed that the dwarves could no longer resist the orcs' attack.
But at this moment, Goodwin appeared. He led a large group of the Knights of the Silver Hand to kill the orcs' base camp from behind.

Then, like a gourd, the chiefs of the two clans and a high-level shaman were gathered together.
Behind him, Kalad killed with one strike and swept across the orc headquarters with a spear and claws.
The Battle of Camelback Mountain ended with a narrow victory for the dwarves.
After the war, Magni personally held a banquet to celebrate the victory of the war and entertained Goodwin who came to support him.
The Knights of the Silver Hand were quite satisfied with the banquet, and they could feel the enthusiasm of the dwarves.
After dealing with the threat from foreign enemies, Magni announced that the dwarves of Eight Peaks Mountain would join forces with Goodwin and prepare to go north to support Eternal Peak. After all, the High King of the dwarves was there.
The fate of the human world has always been unresolved, but the fate of the dwarves has changed.
Since Dranosh moved south, all the dwarf fortresses in the Kansas Mountains have been attacked to varying degrees.
The orcs know the weaknesses of the dwarves very well. Butcher's Castle, Bafeng Mountain, Haimen Pass, and Torrent Pass are the key fortresses for siege.
In the far north, the dwarves still hold on to Karak Kaderin. The stone hall of this city is surrounded by traces of fierce battles, and the floor is covered with solidified blood and broken bones.
Situated in a concave valley and rising from the valley is the dwarf fortress: Karak Kaderin, also known as Butcher's Keep.
In the prosperous days of the past hundreds of years, caravans from the human empire gathered here, and it became an important trade route hub for trade between humans and dwarves.
However, times have changed, and now there are only uninvited invading armies, wandering monsters and wild beasts.
To the orcs, this place is fearfully called: Death Peak.
Because more than one orc army tasted the bitter fruit of defeat here.
The Butcher King Agrim Ironfist had made final preparations. During the siege of the city, Agrim Ironfist personally led the dwarf butcher army to fight out of the underground secret passages of the city again and again, destroying the orcs'
Siege equipment.
But the number of orcs is almost endless, and the Butcher King Agrim Ironfist continues to inspire his people, making them believe that reinforcements are on the way.
At the same time, thanks to the oracle from the dwarf mother goddess Varaya, Butcher's Castle prepared a huge amount of reserve materials early on, enabling the entire city to persevere.
Even so, after a long siege, Butcher's Castle waited until the coalition forces composed of troops from Bafeng Mountain, Haimen Pass, Tiefeng Castle, etc. successfully relieved the siege.
The Bafengshan army, led by Magni himself, appeared from behind, attacked the orcs and released a signal flare. Seeing this, the Butcher King immediately attacked and defeated the orcs with cheese sandwiched between two bread buns.

In desperation, this orc army sent out the most powerful Wheel of Woe troops. These powerful war instruments proved to be a weapon against the dwarves.
Its powerful mobility and armor-breaking performance can cause devastating blows to the dwarves. It is not afraid of falling into the dwarf's shield wall, and can also effectively avoid the dwarf's magic cannon.
The Wheel of Disaster has accomplished its mission very well in many previous battles, forcing the Butcher King Agrim Iron Fist to retreat. The dwarves really have no good way to deal with this powerful war weapon.
But this time, Goodwin and the Knights of the Silver Hand are here, and it's hard to fight something that moves at such a high speed.
The orcs dispatched three Pit Abominations for this purpose, but they could not stop Goodwin from destroying the war machine position.
As if intending to wash away his previous shame, Goodwin tore off two Pit Abominations in a rage, and the remaining one was destroyed by Magni's men.
Forced by desperation, the orc army ordered a retreat.
The siege of Butcher's Keep was broken, and the dwarves also suffered heavy losses.
The dwarf king of Haimen Pass, Bairnov Dragonhammer, died in this battle, and his son Bagenov succeeded him as the king of Haimen Pass.
"I didn't expect that it was us who helped you all the time. This time, it was you, Magni, who came to save us."
