The Legend of Fatality

Then there was a brief silence.

"If this is the case, why don't you drive them out of the city?" Grerogan asked again.

Hagrim smiled, but there was no joy in his laughter.

"Because there are too few of us left, Son of Rorion. After the siege, our warriors are less than five thousand, divided into five hidden castles. Although our enemies are ten times our number, although they It is torn apart, but we know that if we are strong, they will unite to fight against us. So, over the years, we have learned to attack the enemy in small groups. We later learned that this is not a good strategy. "

"Why" asked Bai En.

"Because every time they have a fallen soldier, another one will appear. For every army we destroy, two troops will return from that wasteland. But when we lose a soldier, we can never find it. People replace him. Every time we lose a brave dwarf, we will kill twenty enemies, but in the end we have no way to make up for our losses, and they did. "

"I can understand this," Bai En said. "There are many dark warriors belonging to the evil gods on that wasteland. This is a strong castle that can provide them with shelter."

Hagrim shook his head sadly. "You do n’t know the evil followers at all. If you think so, Mr. Bai En. They come here because there are treasures-weapons made by gold and dwarves, and what they crave most is for armor and manufacture. The black steel of dirty weapons. They came here because they knew they would find other kind to fight to win the glory in the eyes of their crazy gods. This place has become a test ground for the warriors of the dark forces, they can find other People come to slaughter to improve themselves. "

Hagrim's words made sense to Bai En. He occasionally wondered where these evil warriors got their weapons. Since they entered this wasteland, he has not seen any signs of foundries, factories or any manufacturing, but the followers of the dark forces must obtain equipment from somewhere.

He initially thought it was a product of witchcraft, or a bartered human blacksmith's barter, but now he saw another answer. Gunter Grimm here has all the equipment for ore and dwarf industrial production. If something he heard is true, this place can produce more steel than the entire Marnus Empire. In this regard, he immediately expressed his suspicion.

"You're right, Mr. White. We tried to destroy all forges, furnaces and anvils, but we couldn't take them down and take them to hidden places, and we didn't have enough time to deal with them. Some were evil The followers of the forces were found. Some were repaired with incomprehensible evil magic. Now, it is hordes of horned beasts and mutant slaves that are mined, and their mages and priests are responsible for the manufacture of weapons and armor. "

"If this place can be recaptured, it will be a terrible blow to the forces of evil. Where else can they get their weapons?" Bai En said with excitement.

"Maybe. Maybe not," Hagrim continued. "The admirers of these evil forces must now have other pits and foundries, just like what Gantergrim now looks like, these factories are now empty."

"what do you mean"

"It's not like it was in the early days. Many warriors of the evil gods came here to control their own small territories. There are now entire towns in the underground halls used to worship one of the most powerful dark forces. They each have their own lord and army. They trade ores, weapons, and armor to the outside world. They exchange swords for slaves, spear tips and arrows for disgusting food, and armor for magic equipment. "

"You said that there are other dwarf strongholds outside of Guntergrim," Warwick asked.

"None now." Hagrim explained. "Over the years, they have been wiped out. Those who survived have come here. Most haven't. Many were chased by Cohohorn's hounds when they fled. There are still some who won't come here, lest they take 'terror 'Leading to our last refuge. "

Asked "'Horror'" Bai En.

"About that matter, it is best not to say it." Hagrim said, "Because this is our end. When it first came, it claimed the lives of hundreds of warriors. Our charm Master Wen used his life to drive it away. Now that it's back, I suspect that nothing can stop it-although your axe gave me some hope, Gray Rogan. "

Bane saw that Gray Rogan and Snowry exchanged glances, and his heart sank. He knew that Hagrim aroused the professional interest of these two dwarves. Hagrim saw it too, but he shook his head.

"Tell me: What decision do you think King Tangalim will make?" Bai En asked, just wanting to change the subject. "Do you think it is possible for him to send a messenger to the outside world"

"I don't know, Mr. Bai En. I think we can all die here."

After that, everyone was silent for a minute, then Guerrerogan said, "I hope to know more about this creature called" terror "."

"This does not surprise me." Hagrim said, looking up at Guerrero's tattoo. "Do you want to hunt it"

"Yes." Grerogan said.

"That's very unwise."

"This is not a question about wisdom. This is a question about my destiny."

"There are also Snowy." Snowy said.

"This is said to be a true oathbreaker." Hagrim said with a smile. "Very well. I will tell you everything I know about this fallen creature. It is an evil demon, powerful and deadly. It was summoned by Skarslock-Ironclaw in the last days of the siege, he treated it not like the master treated the servant, but the warrior treated the king. After the Southwest Gate was pushed down, it attacked us, we did n’t have one People can resist it. It killed a dozen heroes, each with a powerful rune weapon. When King Tang Lime confronted it in the dark hall, it almost killed him. Between them for a moment I attacked each other a few times, but the other party had taken the initiative. The king could hardly believe that it had such a powerful force. "

Grey Rogan reached out and picked up his axe. There was a flash of light in his eyes. "It must be very powerful to withstand the hammer of fate"

"Greater than anything, Guerrerogan Mahal. More powerful than the three orc chiefs of Scarlet Fangs. More dangerous than the three ogren magicians in the blood-bellied wilderness. Even worse than the dragon Grogir Terrible because of its poisonous breath. When I said that I had stood beside my monarch and contended with powerful enemies, I was not bragging, but this evil thing was the most powerful. I suspect that even A great warrior like Tangerim-Firebeard cannot overcome it when he is young with pride. "

"Then how was it defeated" Bai En continued to ask, licking his lips nervously. "How did you survive to tell us this story"

"It has not been defeated ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ When our senior rune master Valek hit it with the holy axe you carried, it was driven away, when he called the rune that was unbound. This The wound is so big that any creature can die in an instant. But this thing just retreated to the deepest part of the mountain, near its fiery heart. It must have been lurking there for many years, regaining its power, because now It ’s back. Just as it predicted. "

"Prophecy"

"Just when it disappeared, it told us that it would be our end. It told the king that one day it would come back, tearing his heart with its claws and swallowing it in front of his living eyes, This will be his end. Everyone we hear believes in this prophecy, because there is a plain truth in the voice of the prophecy. "

"That's a demon." Bai En said softly. "Everyone knows that demons will lie.

"Yeah, but this guy is very happy when he speaks, we know that it intends to destroy us in its own time and way. Some soldiers even doubt that this is why we are allowed to survive for so long. Our rune master Valek He also prophesied before he died. He told us not to be afraid, because when the end comes, his axe will also come back to us. At that time, many of us were surprised by this prophecy, because this axe is destined to be hidden in us In the fortress, how could it come back to us and then the king ’s son took the axe away, we thought it was lost. Behold, when you brought it back to us, the "terror" has come back twenty Days."

He looked at Guerrerogen's axe meaningfully. "Now you know why your arrival troubled the king."
