The words sounded nice, but everything came at a price.
As they prepared to take the scales, Otto did not forget to add, “If you don’t want to become a Dragonborn, you can choose another gift.”
After saying that, he took out a small red pill, containing a drop of his dragon blood, which could activate the Blood Covenant if swallowed.
He had already discussed the differences between the two with the Black Iron Dwarves, and it was up to them to decide how to choose.
Whether or not two more Dragonborn Black Iron Dwarves could be created was not very important to Otto now.
Soon, the two Black Iron Dwarves had each made their choices.
Becoming a Dragonborn Dwarf would certainly change one’s appearance to some extent. As the King of Black Iron, Ebik did not want any factors to affect his rule.
Therefore, he chose the red pill.
As for Dain, he had no such concerns. If he could gain more powerful strength, he did not mind what he would become.
Naturally, he chose the silver scales.
Having only to engrave the Blood Covenant, Ebik finished quickly and then looked at his brother with some concern.
Unlike ordinary Black Iron Dwarves, Dain had no talent for forging and did not even like to stay in the mines.
However, he was an exceptionally talented warrior. If he did not use a
Legendary Warhammer, even Ebik would not necessarily be his match.
So, Dain was always the one chosen to go on foreign missions, and the nobles of Caran even liked to call him the Black Iron Ambassador.
Although the Dragonborn Transformation Ritual had undergone several improvements, it still brought great pain to the participants.
But Dain’s will was obviously strong, and his physical fitness was excellent. He persevered to the end.
Like previous participants of the transformation with higher intellect, Dain’s appearance did not change much. His pitch-black skin just lightened a little, and his hair turned pure silver.
But his strength had indeed increased significantly, and Dain was now confident that he could easily defeat Ebik without the Legendary Warhammer.
With the transformation ritual over, Ebik first looked at Dain with concern, and after finding that his brother was not in any danger, turned to Otto and asked, “I wonder when the Soaring Dragon Legion…”
The Silver Dragon-man nodded, “Don’t worry, they’ll be here soon! The great Silver Dragon Lord is waiting for my report. I’ll leave first.”
After saying that, he headed towards the exit. Dain wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ebik.
“What if the Silver Dragon regrets it…”
Dain looked somewhat worried in the direction of Otto’s departure, and Ebik shook his head, “Why would they bother engraving the Blood Covenant for both of us just to tease us?”
It sounded reasonable, and Dain relaxed.
But then Ebik said, “That Silver Dragon, Otto, will definitely not give up on
Black Iron Dwarves. I’m just a little worried about the forces behind the
Mountain Dwarves…”
The area of the Celestial Mountains is much larger than Nolan Forest, and the monster races inside are even more diverse and powerful. It is unclear how much resources a monster lord from there might possess.
The reason why Caran people are good at defense and love giant shield soldiers and long-range crossbowmen is this.
It is certain that they cannot win in a field battle, so they simply try their best to defend the city walls.
By daybreak, the attack of the Storm Creature Army resumed.
The forces used this time were almost twice as powerful as before. Although most of them were not very powerful miscellaneous monsters, the pressure on the Black Iron Dwarves was rapidly increasing.
More importantly, the Black Iron Dwarves had already exhausted their dangerous explosive materials, and Black Iron Ballistae had been refitted with ordinary all-metal bolts.
The Black Iron Cannons were also loaded with regular solid iron balls, and even their reserves were running low.
If today does not put an end to this war, by tomorrow the Black Iron Dwarves will not even have these all-metal bolts.
“What on earth is the Soaring Dragon Legion doing?”
Dain, whose beard turned silver, led the elite Black Iron Dwarf warriors with shields and stood at the forefront.
Behind them were rows of Black Iron Dwarf riflemen, most of whose weapons and ammunition came from the legacy of Red Copper Dwarves.
Without the help of explosive materials, the defensive capabilities of the Black Iron Dwarves had decreased significantly.
Seeing this, the two Storm Giants in the rear of the Storm Creature Army were delighted and immediately sent more giants into battle.
Most of them were Stone Giants, not much different in size from the Storm Giants, but much weaker in strength.
However, they were indeed one of the few long-ranged attackers in the Storm Creature Army, and their method of attack was also simple – they threw massive rocks found in the Celestial Mountains with both hands.
Given the size of the Stone Giants, the rocks they threw were naturally not ordinary.
Although their aim was generally poor, if someone unlucky enough to be hit would instantly turn into a puddle of blood and gore.
As Dain wielded his warhammer, smashing the skull of a mountain giant wolf, a huge rock brushed past his face.
He was lucky to have a near-death experience, but his deputy didn’t even have time to scream before leaving this world.
Only the blood seeping from between the giant rock and the ground indicated that a Black Iron Dwarf had once lived here.
“Damn it, Soaring Dragon Legion! If you don’t come over now, even if the Blood Covenant kills me, I’ll still splash you with blood!”
As Dain roared in anger, reinforcements from the Soaring Dragon Legion finally arrived.
Dozens of Chimera and Wyverns flew in from the Sulfur Mountains, followed closely by a group of Lizardmen riding Giant Eagles.
However, these Chimeras did not immediately launch a thunder and lightning breath attack on the Storm Creature Army below. Instead, they quickly flew to the densest areas of their gathering and dropped clusters of black spherical objects.
The actions of the Giant Eagles that followed them were almost identical.
Seeing what they were, Dain immediately shouted to the surrounding Black Iron Dwarves, “It’s explosive balls, retreat quickly!”
Having collaborated in the production, the Black Iron Dwarves knew all too well the danger of these balls and immediately ran towards the back.
Behind them, the Black Iron Ballistae took the opportunity to pour firepower on the chasing monsters, preventing them from interfering with the retreating Black Iron Dwarves.
Finally, those black spheres fell to the ground, followed by a series of explosions reaching for the sky.
Accompanied by terrible sounds, the formation of the Storm Creature Army was immediately engulfed by smoke and flames..
