"Do you really want to go?"

In a corner of Byrne's barracks, Lucian, who accidentally saw a one armed Knight, hurried forward and shouted at the figure who was about to leave.

On the fourth day of the fall of silver helmet mountain, Bain's whole army received assembly orders and rushed to the battlefield to rescue the main force of the besieged Boyi army.

Despite the great controversy, Loren Turin still insisted on his own way. It is strange that the always stable Earl of fury castle, Eckert, took the initiative to fully support the Duke's decision this time.

Several earls of Byrne objected, but in the end they were suppressed; The oldest Earl of the Rock Castle, angert, agreed loudly. The Duke who seemed so "arbitrary" and liked adventure was very much to his appetite.

"I should have answered this question." the swearing Knight did not look back. Soldiers and officers in a hurry passed by them, and their ears were full of shouts and noises of orders:

"Seryol has been exiled to the void and will not pose any threat in a short time... I have no reason to stay."

"What's more, your master has an army of tens of thousands of people, and thousands of loyal Knights die for him. If you can't protect his life..."

He slowly looked back, glanced at the Byrne soldiers shuttling between the camps in the muddy trenches and glanced behind him: "what can a mere oath Knight change?"

"But you're different from the others - they don't know what this war means, they just think it's no different from the past, the war between Boye, Bain and centaurs."

Recalling those corrupt terrorist figures and everything he had seen in the Dragon King City, the grey pupil boy's expression was slightly touched and his eyes were more firm: "you... And Lord Lauren, you know it's not so simple behind all this!"

"Those centaurs are not the barbarians of the past, but the running dogs of the 'black cross' seryol - how can you leave without destroying them?!"

Looking at the gray pupil boy with an urgent face, the oath Knight turned around without changing his face.

"If everything is as you said, why didn't Loren Turin stand up and stop me?" asked the knight of the oath.

"That, of course, is because..."

"Because he knows that things are not so simple. He knows that even if I stay, I can't change too much. Instead, he might as well let me find the clues of serlior's plan." the oath Knight's voice is flat:

"He knows a lot, but he never told you."

Lucian frowned, clenched his lower lip, raised his eyes and stared at the oath knight.

After all... I'm still a child.

"I know what you're thinking. As a guard... No, as an Elman, your loyalty and trustworthiness are impeccable." the knight of the oath looked up at him:

"Protect your master. Although he is an incorrigible villain with no faith, sometimes we have to do anything to fight evil."

The grey pupil boy widened his eyes in amazement... The oath Knight would care about Loren?

"In addition... Give you a piece of advice." ignoring Lucian's expression, the knight sighed and continued coldly:

"When an evil god tells you that you are his friend, he is willing to selflessly help you realize your wishes, even prove himself with actions, and protect you at a heavy price, that only means one thing..."

"You are a part of his plan, and your existence is in his key interests, that's all."

"Remember, they are not human beings, and their feelings are just a tool to disguise and cheat trust; you are no different from a chess piece in their eyes."

The voice fell, and Lucian bowed his head, and his expression gradually became complex.

The oath Knight looked at him blandly, took out a short blade from his arms and directly handed it to the gray pupil boy.

"This is..."

The silver gray pupil focused on the moment of the weapon, revealing a little consternation.

"There is only the tip of the spear used by the Dragon Knight of the Dragon kingdom." the oath Knight said slowly: "I found it when I left the ruins of niederhogg. It is a souvenir."

Lucian took the gun blade with both hands and looked at the streamlined blade ridge like a leaf - the weapon with a history of at least hundreds of years was as new as old, but a little rusty and worn.

However, even if it's just the tip of the gun, it's no less than the standard short sword, or even a little wider; The shape of the gun tip and two edges is also obviously designed to tear apart the scales and flesh. The smooth lines are sharp, elegant and fierce.

The tip of the gun alone is about one meter. I'm afraid the overall length of the throwing gun will not be less than three to four meters; And it's just a shotgun, not a dragon knight's long gun really used to fight the dragon.

What kind of monsters are the Dragon Knights in the niederhogg era?

"The Dragon Knight's weapons are mixed with secret silver, and the forging technology is much better than the Empire and dwarves." the oath Knight said: "a little repair should not be inferior to the sword you lost."

The grey pupil boy raised his head, looked at the oath knight with complex eyes, and involuntarily said, "why do you want to help me?"

The oath Knight didn't respond, just looked at him faintly.

"There must be some reason. It can't be without reason, right? You are an oath knight. You can't help me if it's not for some necessary reason."

Gently pinched the blade of the sword, and Lucian choked in his throat: "lend a helping hand to a... 'Apostle of evil god'."

"I know you tried to kill Lord Loren more than once, and only because he had the nine pointed star grail in his hand."

With a deep look at him, the oath Knight turned and turned his back to the gray pupil boy: "because I suddenly remembered."

"I... seem to have been an Elman."

Huh?

Lucian was surprised and stunned.

What's the reason?

"Don't waste time on me by asking the truth." the words of the oath Knight came: "stick to your loyalty and protect your master... If you are really willing to give everything for it."

Before the grey pupil had time to say anything, another figure suddenly inserted into the middle of the two and interrupted the dialogue.

"You! I remember... You're the captain of the guard around the Duke, Lord Lucian, aren't you?"

The count of Lake City... Lord lanmallos, who succeeded bosiwar?

He was startled by the knight who was anxious in front of him and hung two guns behind him. When Lucian returned to God, the figure of the oath knight had disappeared; Helpless Lucian had to deal with two sentences: "yes, what can I do for you?"

"Dwarf, dwarf of silver helmet mountain!" the count of Huxin city is vigorous and resolute, and his words are simple and direct:

"They want to negotiate!"

……………………………………

"Sisa mikhailo, head of the Administration Office of silver helmet mountain, chief execution officer and leader of the mikhailo family."

The bearded, expressionless dwarf sat opposite Lauren; His ragged smock, messy hair and whiskers, iron blue complexion and deep eye sockets all made him look very depressed, but his posture was still full of momentum.

It seemed that he was not in the barracks of Byrne's army at the moment, but dressed in formal clothes and standing in the hall of a palace.

"Loren Turin, Duke of Byrne." looking at the other party's serious expression, Loren replied equally meticulously: "I don't know what I can do for you, Lord mihalo?"

The dwarf mikheilo sat up straight, glanced at the Knights of Byrne and Boye one by one, and finally stopped on the black haired Wizard:

"Dear Duke, there are tens of thousands of people of Yunling Kingdom outside your barracks. They have nothing except their clothes; they have no food, clean water, no shelter from the wind and cold... And winter is coming."

"We need your help to get through the current difficulties, otherwise more than half of the yunlingzi people will die because of hunger, disease and killing each other in two days..."

"Perhaps you have not noticed that we are at war with each other, your excellency mikheilo."

Eckert coldly interrupted him: "is there a precedent to assist the enemy in the battle between Bain and Yunling kingdom?"

"What's more, we are an army. Our soldiers also need clean water, food and tents. We also have wounded soldiers who need treatment - dozens or hundreds of people may be able to find a way, but tens of thousands of refugees... Are beyond our ability and have no obligation!"

Silence.

The dwarf lowered his head, and his depressed cheeks under his beard remained calm. He neither roared and scolded loudly to accuse the Byrne people of their "rudeness to the people of Yunling kingdom", nor snorted coldly, raised his chest proudly, turned around and left.

He just sat there, his stiff face turning red.

This can also prove from the side that the dwarves outside the silver helmet mountain have been embarrassed to what extent.

If only dozens of dwarves survive, they may leave silently or go their separate ways;

If it were hundreds of thousands of people, they would probably stick to it proudly until the end and would rather die than surrender;

But there are tens of thousands of them. Under this huge number, all small contradictions and problems can be intensified in an instant;

Tens of thousands of people, but also maintain a complete social system... In order to maintain the ethnic group, they will become easier to compromise than ever.

Of course, there is absolutely a limit to any compromise when meeting such a proud race as dwarves.

For the dwarves, being able to admit that they need "help" itself is the greatest compromise - even the former dwarf Boris adhered to the principle of "cooperation" rather than "help" and didn't let go until he died.

After a full minute of silence, the dwarf mikhailo slowly raised his head and looked at the black haired wizard with bloodshot eyes under his deep eyes:

"Dear Duke, I know that you and Boris mihalo once had an agreement."

Lauren's expression changed slightly. On one side, Eckert's face was as heavy as water, but he also threw surprised eyes at him.

How did he know?

"I have always believed that Byrne has always been a model for the principalities in the Empire in keeping their promises."

As the dwarf mikheilo spoke silently, the surrounding Byrne Knights subconsciously raised their chests, and their faces showed an expression of want to laugh but embarrassed.

"So... If you think the mikheilo family has complied with the agreement, should you also fulfill your promise?"

Eckert's expression was stiff: "this is not you..."

"Yes!"

Loren reached out to stop the count of fury castle, and his eyes indicated that he was calm.

"I can fulfill my agreement. Please rest assured, Lord mikheilo." the dark haired wizard said faintly, "but our agreement is limited to the mikheilo family and their relatives. I promised Boris."

Dwarf mikheilo's eyes moved and his expression was obviously different from that just now.

"So if it's just you and your relatives, I can ensure your safety; I can even set aside a mountain in Bain as your autonomous territory, but... I can't and can't do it for tens of thousands of survivors of the whole silver helmet mountain."

Loren said it with certainty.

But the dwarf mikheilo saw some hope - he was the head of the administration of silver helmet mountain. The bureaucratic class in the whole ruling system was best at understanding this "hint".

As long as there is no rejection, everything is possible... It's just a matter of how much it costs.

"Thank you for your commitment, your excellency, but the mihalo family cannot abandon the survivors of the whole silver helmet mountain and live alone." the dwarf mihalo said word by word:

"Therefore, on behalf of the Yunling people of yinhelmet mountain, I hope to reach a better agreement with you to save all the survivors of yinhelmet mountain."

"Never!"

The count of fury castle stood up again and interrupted the dwarf mikheilo: "as I have said, the bain army does not have such sufficient materials to save all the survivors of silver helmet mountain."

"What's more, the problem is not just silver helmet mountain and Bain - where will the traitors of Yunling Kingdom take the supreme king of Yunling kingdom? What degree of damage will it cause to the alliance between Yunling Kingdom, Bain and even the Empire?"

"All this can be explained and resolved; the problem of silver helmet mountain survivors is imminent!" dwarf mikheilo also stood up excitedly:

"Dear Duke, I know this will bring you a lot of trouble, but it will also enable you to win the gratitude and loyalty of the whole silver helmet mountain - the loyalty of dwarves, which belongs to you alone!"

"So please tell me now what it will cost to get you to agree to save the survivors of silver helmet mountain!"

The voice of the dwarf's impassioned words echoed in the camp.

Tightly pursing the corners of their mouths, Lauren and Eckert couldn't help looking at each other.

The dwarf of silver helmet mountain, the Boyi of Qianzhang City, the imperial legion of East Saxony

very good

The first support Army has arrived.
