“Damn it, what’s going on with those Chimeras?”
Seeing the frenzied Lait people about to catch up, Sorin hurriedly directed his clan to avoid the falling lightning and flame breaths.
But then, his deputy shouted in panic, “Your Majesty, it’s not good! Look at the Sulfur Mountains…
Without his deputy saying more, Sorin naturally noticed the anomaly at the Sulfur Mountains.
The commotion was too biz, tens of thousands of monstrous armies frenziedly crossed the borders of the Sulfur Mountains and the skyline mountains, going straight towards Red Copper Castle.
The population of the Red Copper Dwarves was not booming, or it could be said that almost all long-lived races had small populations.
Moreover, more than half of the elite warriors in the clan had been taken out by Sorin. If the damned monsters invaded the city under these circumstances, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Now, the entire Red Copper Castle had only around fifty thousand people, including non-combatant children and women, with no more than five thousand elite warriors.
“Quick, hurry back to defend Red Copper Castle!”
Sorin shouted loudly, but it was all in vain.
The Chimeras flying in the sky had no intention of killing too many Red Copper Dwarves, but used frantic thunder and flames to cut off their retreat.
From their high vantage point, the Chimeras didn’t need to worry about the Red Copper Dwarves’ counterattack. Occasionally, some dwarves would carry firearms, but their range and accuracy were truly touching.
The brains of the Lait people who had taken the pill were no better than Trolls, filled with a bloody and violent mood.
They couldn’t be bothered to think about where those Chimeras came from and swarmed into the Red Copper Dwarves led by Sorin.
The battle to the death began!
Facing a formidable enemy, Sorin couldn’t worry too much and could only hope that Grand Elder Barn could close the gates of Red Copper Castle in time.
As long as the metal-forged gates were closed, even the astonishing number of monster armies wouldn’t have any way to breach Red Copper Castle.
Meanwhile, Sorin led his clansmen in quickly killing the frenzied Lait people’s army. He needed to resolve this issue quickly and return to reinforce Red Copper Castle.
In the hands of Red Copper King Sorin, the warhammer bellowed with raging flames. The heavy hammer was as light as a butterknife in his hands.
Those mad Lait people who were hit by this hammer first had a red dot at the point of impact, then burst apart.
The explosive power was immense, enough to directly blow a human body into two pieces.
This hammer was the legendary weapon passed down through generations of the Red Copper Dwarves, known as Flamefire.
Back in the day, the three major dwarf forces of the Sky Mountain ranges coexisted harmoniously. They cooperated to forge three legendary warhammers, and the alliance of the three major dwarves was called the Three Hammer Alliance.
But later, due to various reasons, they went their separate ways. The Red
Copper Dwarves regarded the Black Iron Dwarves as mortal enemies, while the Mountain Dwarves secluded themselves in the depths of the Sky Mountain ranges
Under Sorin’s lead, humans and dwarves collided fiercely.
The reason the Red Copper Dwarves previously adopted guerrilla warfare tactics was not because they couldn’t face the frenzied Lait people head-on, but because it was simply the best choice.
In direct confrontation, the Lait people, who could barely gather a full set of weapons and equipment, would not necessarily be a match for the heavily-armored dwarves skilled in mountain combat, even with the help of the pills.
The current battle was going smoothly, but Sorin and his elite warriors had also been successfully stalled from reinforcing the castle.
While Sorin and his forces were embroiled in constant skirmishes with the Lait people, the tens of thousands of Soaring Dragon Legion monsters had also arrived near Red Copper Castle.Elder Bane arrived at the city gate in no time and saw the dense mass of evil monsters through the small window above the gate.
He immediately made a decision: “Hurry! Close the city gate quickly!” An attendant hesitated, “But Elder, King Solin is still outside…”
Bane kicked the idiot, yelling louder, “Close the gate immediately! I’ll take responsibility for the consequences! If you don’t want your family and friends to die under the claws of these monsters, do as I say!”
Unable to argue, the surrounding Red Copper Dwarves quickly operated the gate mechanism, slowly closing the heavy metal-studded door.
As the first wave of monsters, led by Gaz’s Wolf Cavalry, arrived, the gate was just closed.
“Damn, one step too late…”
Gaz regretted, looking at the closed gate, then decisively led the Wolf Cavalry to retreat.
Before that, Link and his thirty werewolf cavalrymen swiftly and carefully placed several packages under the gate of Red Copper Castle.
These bottles in the packages contained explosives made from Green Burst’s research.
A wise choice, as the exquisite crossbows and firearms above the gate of Red Copper Castle fired back, chasing the Wolf Cavalry’s retreating trail.
Fortunately, Gaz acted decisively and quickly. Only one or two goblins who didn’t keep up with the main force were pierced by giant bolts.
When they withdrew to a safe distance, Werewolf Link turned and shot a lightning-infused short arrow towards the Red Copper Castle gate.
The werewolf had excellent aim, and the arrow lodged in the package. As the lightning on it flickered, the bottles around it emitted blinding light.
Immediately after…
“Boom!”
Accompanied by a deafening explosion, a thick cloud of smoke enveloped Red Copper Castle’s gate.
Elder Bane anxiously looked through the window at the gate below. Despite his confidence in the thick metal layer on the gate, the impact of the explosion was huge.
Some Red Copper Dwarves near the gate were even knocked unconscious by the blast.
As the smoke gradually cleared, Elder Bane finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Though the blast site was a mess, and a large part of the outer metal layer had been blown away, it seemed not to have caused any fundamental damage.
Only a small layer of the metal casing was exposed, which could easily be repaired by pouring molten iron over it.
As for the Soaring Dragon Legion, the vanguard Wolf Cavalry slowly retreated, followed by the disposable cannon fodder units made up of Gnolls and Lizardmen.
Leading this cannon fodder army was Warwick and a large, fierce Lizardman. After Redscale’s death, this Lizardman replaced his position and inherited his name.
Of course, he also went through the Dragonborn Transformation Ritual. Although he didn’t last until the end, he was at least slightly stronger than his predecessor.
Apart from Gnolls and Lizardmen, there were many Goblins and other relatively weaker monster races among this cannon fodder army.
Together, they numbered about ten thousand..
