The Hero in Exile

As expected, the elemental army soon arrived not far away. Everyone thought they would attack from the front like crazy, but unexpectedly they stopped about half a kilometer away from the city wall.

"What's going on? Why did these beasts stop? If they get any closer, we can use cannons to send them to heaven."

Standing on the edge of the city wall is the supreme commander of the dwarf army, Steelhelm Dale. At this time, he was ordered to hold on to the city wall. According to the plan, they will face a fierce attack on their side, use weapons of mass destruction, and then retreat back to the city to start a tug-of-war.

But this group of irrational and brutal monsters stopped there and did not move forward. Dale picked up the telescope and began to observe.

Those elements, whose tempers were as unstable as their energies, just stood there motionless, but from the way they hammered the ground furiously, it could be seen that they were in high spirits, but why were they so slow to attack?

"Go and tell the king what they are doing here."

After giving instructions to the signalman, Dale noticed that some soldiers' hands were trembling slightly when they picked up their guns.

It is also because the Dwarf Kingdom has not directly participated in a war for a long time. The powerful weapons and large number of troops have made them lost in arrogance. These soldiers who have undergone extensive training have never really encountered a war, so fear is inevitable.

"Boys! I smell the stench of fear in the air. Where are those lofty words you said while drinking? Could it be that they have become nothing but fart?" Dell's joking tone made several veterans laugh, and the atmosphere eased a lot.

Dale has a very high prestige in the army. This commander is never someone who sits in the office to deal with useless things. He will go into the troops to train with the soldiers and drink with them when they have time. When fighting monsters in the Alps, he did not stand in the back to command but fought side by side with everyone. He is more like a soldier than a commander.

"What's there to be afraid of? They are nothing but a pile of rocks. We have broken the wings of griffins and chopped off the heads of earth dragons before. Why are we afraid now? And even if they really attack us, don't forget that your commander will fight with you."

Finished.

The atmosphere of fear that had shrouded the soldiers on the city wall had completely dissipated. The soldiers stood on the wall with all their might. At this moment, they only had weapons in their hands and blood.

"Brother, I got your message and rushed over."

It didn't take long for Bronzebeard to reach the wall. He took the telescope handed to him and started observing.

"How come these bastards act like they have opened their heads? That damned Elemental Lord must be the one commanding them. But it's a good thing, the elementals need to replenish their energy. They are the ones who are wasting time here."

Bronzebeard looked around and suddenly his gaze fell on a familiar yet unfamiliar elemental monster. What was different from other elemental monsters was that its body was not huge and looked like an ordinary human. It should be said that it could imitate humans.

At this time, the elemental monster also noticed Bronzebeard's gaze, and slowly raised its arm made of rubble and waved it.

"good very good."

"Are you all right, my king?"

When Dale saw that the telescope in Bronzebeard's hand was crushed, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. What could make the king so angry?

However, Bronzebeard did not say much, but just asked him to pay more attention to defense, especially to keep an eye on the movements of that strange elemental monster, and to report to someone if there was any new situation.

I was not quite sure just now but after seeing the action I was very sure it was it. I didn't expect the Elemental Lord to be so low-key and transform into this appearance in the large army. He even made a neck-wiping gesture towards me. He had no facial features but seemed to have expression. I have never been provoked like this. I really want to use a hammer to crack a "walnut".

Soon after Bronzebeard left, the elemental army made new moves. They were divided into three armies and headed for the east, west and north gates respectively, seemingly intending to quickly and completely destroy the dwarf city.

Bronzebeard also made an assignment immediately. The east gate was for the troops led by Lingyu and Moran, the west gate was for Bronzebeard, and the north gate was for Dale.

The war is about to start.

Don’t ask why there is no north gate because the author is too lazy to think about it.
