While ZERO and Shitamaru were fighting fiercely, another dark chess piece deployed by the Guardian Empire was slowly showing its claws.
Ozma City, the last glory of the dwarves in the world of "Dragon Age", is also the last stronghold.
When the dwarves were at their peak, their cities spread almost all over the underground. But when the dry tide came, countless black spirits swarmed out from the bottomless underground abyss, and the dwarves' underground castles were the first to bear the brunt.
Eduken, Kadash, Orta... countless names that shined infinitely in the history of the dwarves were wiped off the map one by one, turning into ruins ravaged by darkness and death. Even the pride of the dwarfs was theirs.
The most powerful source of power, the void stone anvil used to build the huge army of golems, also completely fell after spending the blood and lives of countless dwarf warriors.
The Golem Legion has also become a forgotten thing among the dwarves, with only a few incomplete Golems still telling of the vicissitudes of the past.
The Heart of Rock, located beneath the Kingdom of Orlais, was once the core area of the Dwarf Empire and was completely lost.
The once glorious dwarf civilization has declined as a result, and will never regain its former glory. When humans rise, the dwarves can only be completely reduced to supporting roles, huddled in the city of Ozma, watching the power of humans gradually gradually
Spread throughout the Tidus continent.
And because the underground network under Ozma City that was once excavated by the dwarves and is 10,000 times more complicated than a spider web has been occupied by at least 90% of the black spirits, Ozma has become a person in this world who resists the withering.
The forward position of the tide. The underground place where the heroes once fought is also called the Road to the Abyss.
Dungeon, Orta. It was once one of the underground cities of the dwarves. After being destroyed by the Black Spirit, it has now become one of the strongholds against the invasion of the Blight Tide. There are also a large number of gray-robed guards active here.
The gray robe guards are a transcendent group in the world of "Dragon Age". Each of them is the best warrior, willing to sacrifice everything to resist the invasion of the dry tide. They do not belong to any country, but in every country
They all have a very high status. Because they are the first line of defense to guard the civilized world! When each gray-robed guard joins, they will undergo an entrance ceremony and drink the blood of the black spirit mixed with the blood of the great devil.
, so that you can sense the coming of the dry tide in advance.
After Izumo's Red Police Corps came to this world, they vigorously built an underground defense line with Orta City as the core, just to prevent the outbreak of the dry tide. It is worth mentioning that the construction of this line was started in advance to prepare for a rainy day.
The person on the defensive line is none other than Izumo's number one think tank, Jing Shuo.
Jing Shuo had the foresight to vigorously support the power of the gray robe guards in this world, restoring the already endangered status of the gray robe guards, and Izumo and others used this to forcefully insert themselves into the forces of this world and have a decisive influence.
force.
The city of Horta is now like a steel fortress! The steel fortress built at that time stands in it. Behind the fortress is a dense shooting port, and a large amount of long-range firepower is arranged in a layered manner at the rear. However, because it is underground, in order to
To prevent collapse, the place is not equipped with artillery, but instead has a large number of magnetic storm coils and light prism towers.
Not only that, there are 5 permanent divisions stationed in Horta City, with a total of 100,000 troops. Under the protection of such a powerful force, the entire underground of the Abyss Road can be said to be impregnable. Izumo also won the victory because of his efforts in these places.
Respected by all nations, especially the dwarves.
However, due to the unfavorable outcome of the war, General Yoshida withdrew 4 of the 5 divisions stationed underground in Ozma City. But even so, with an army of 0,000 people, plus a large number of gray robe guards and dwarves, the United Humankind
The Legion's defense remains very strong.
In the city of Horta, a large number of soldiers were sitting around the bonfire, eating barbecue and drinking beer. The soldiers of the Red Police Corps and the dwarf warriors mingled together. They drank beer and told dirty jokes from time to time.
Bursts of understanding laughter broke out.
"You know, my fucking favorite is the ale from you people from other worlds! Ah, it's beer, hahahaha! It's so damn pure! And it has the aroma of wheat! It's completely different from the ale we drank before
A level above me!!" An unusually strong dwarf with red hair and beard was drinking while tapping the shoulder of a Red Police Corps officer next to him.
However, this officer was a little depressed. He symbolically touched the dwarf with a glass that was more like a barrel than a wine glass, and then drank heavily. Judging from his epaulettes, he was clearly a soldier.
Major General!
"Hey!! Akai! No matter how depressed you are, it's useless! Those undead souls and those metal golems, we will drive them out of this world one day!!" the dwarf said in a rough voice.
"You don't understand, Ogen... I'm watching the war on the ground in full swing, and it seems that our recent offensive has also suffered a disastrous defeat, but I can only stay in the ground to mold... The feeling in my heart, you
You know what?" Major General Akai's voice gradually became louder, "A true man should fight on the battlefield and make achievements!! Instead of waiting here for no purpose! I really fucking envy Endo, Fukuoka and the others... they at least have...
Opportunity was sent to support the war on the ground!"
Major General Akai poured himself another large glass of wine and continued: "Yes... yes, I know that Major General Fukuoka died in the battle!! But do you know that Ogen, he died well! He died well!!!" Akai
As he said this, he got drunk and started shouting loudly.
"It's not meaningless for us to be here. Even from your point of view, guarding the road to the abyss is to prevent the back of your legion from being invaded. Because God knows how many tunnels our ancestors dug underground, and now these
God knows what kind of ghosts are hiding in the tunnel!!" This dwarf is called Ogen. After the end of the fifth dry tide, he was transferred to serve as the commander of the gray robe guards here.
"It makes no sense!! Even if the black spirit really invades and the dry tide really comes! You gray-robed guards should be able to sense it!! But now, there is nothing fucking there!! I can only look at my comrades.
A man died in battle, but he lives here alive!!!" Akai shouted loudly.
Ogen suddenly shook his head and said slowly: "Actually, if you want to talk about induction... I've been having nightmares these past few days. I don't know if that counts."
He picked up the wine glass and continued to take a sip, and then continued: "I always dreamed about the time when my partners and I fought against the fifth dry tide... But the result was not that we finally won, but that we were defeated.
The big demon killed..."
"Is this a fucking induction?" Akai said drunkenly.
"No, if the dry tide comes, we will sense the big devil. That's not the feeling." Ogen shook his head, "Maybe it's because at these times, I have seen too much about the undead and metal golems, which makes me a little uneasy.
Ning..."
"I've told you many times, that's not a metal golem, that's a fucking robot!! A robot!!"
"Wait a minute!!!" Ogen suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly. He stared into the depths of the abyss and murmured: "I seem to hear... the sound of drums..." (To be continued)
