The Monig Mountains, this mountain range named after the first leader of the Iron Hand clan, is where the gray dwarves currently reside.

When it was far away, I didn't notice anything, but as I got closer, I realized that in the distance it was just a small raised mountain range covering an extremely large area.

Although there are only three mountains, standing at the foot of the mountains, you can barely see the edges.

No matter who comes here, the first thing they see must be the towering city wall standing between the two mountains.

The city wall is in the shape of an arc, made of fine iron, and engraved with defensive runes. It is fifty meters high and nearly a thousand meters long. It is connected to the mountain on both sides and looks like a huge shield.

According to Si En, there are two more such walls, tightly wrapping three triangular mountains, forming a huge fortress, a city in the mountains.

Rather than saying this is the Monnig Mountains, it would be better to say that this is the Monnig Castle.

When he said these words, the look on the hobgoblin merchant's face was one of envy and pride.

According to his words, he had always dreamed of restoring such a site to the glory of his ancestors, and fortunately, he had a share of credit for the construction of this castle.

Qin Yuan praised this very much and recognized his future development.

Just by trading some slaves and food to the gray dwarves, he could take the credit for building the castle and rest on his own head without any shame. This already had the potential to become a wealthy businessman.

But Qin Yuan immediately felt that his conclusion was too hasty.

"What? We're banned?"

When the gray dwarf with gray-white skin on the high wall said his refusal to trade, not only Qin Yuan's family members were surprised, but even the goblin merchants were a little stunned, and then felt humiliated.

Before coming here, he promised that he would receive warm hospitality, and he looked like he was very proud of himself. However, he was slapped in the face just as he entered the door. How could he not feel ashamed and annoyed!

Of course, with the strength of the gray dwarves, they really don’t need to care about the face of a mere businessman.

Seeing the heavily armed gray dwarf warriors appearing on the city wall, Sien felt a little helpless.

As a famous race in the Underdark, the gray dwarves can still stand firm despite the siege of the drow. There is no doubt about the strength of the gray dwarves.

Even though - they have a dark history of being enslaved by the octopus-headed illithids!

There are so many races enslaved by the illithid. Being enslaved by the illithid empire that once spanned several worlds is actually not a shameful thing. After all, those psychic tyrants are really strong.

And thanks to the experience of being enslaved by the illithids, gray dwarves have developed an extremely tough mind and can get rid of various charms, hallucinations and even other psychic magics directly by their own will.

Even absorbing the strange magic power of the Underdark over the years has allowed them to mutate into some special abilities.

Therefore, even if the Blackhand clan in Monig Castle is just a remote branch of the gray dwarves, it is really not something that a single hobgoblin can provoke.

Although Sien is a businessman and can bring some resources to the gray dwarves, just like their cousins ​​the dwarves, compared to their strength, their forging craftsmanship is the main reason why they are famous in the world, isn't it? How can there be a shortage of merchants?

Woolen cloth?

"alert!"

Looking at the hobgoblin who still wanted to try to communicate, Qin Yuan interrupted directly, reminding his family that he could clearly see that the change in the gray dwarf's attitude might be due to his arrival.

After all, he and his family do not look like a caravan, and there seems to be nothing wrong with them being invaders. As an intelligent race, the gray dwarves will certainly not let them enter the castle. That would not be inviting wolves into the house.

But having said that, these gray dwarves did not take the initiative to attack everyone. After all, the name of Sien Caravan is still there. Although they do not care about a businessman, killing a businessman without authorization will cause considerable consequences.

This is a situation that gray dwarves need to consider.

"Yes!" "Yes!"

Following the low roars of their relatives, they quickly changed into a battle-ready formation.

They have also gone through several battles. Not to mention how much stronger this team is, at least they can understand orders and act accordingly. They already have a somewhat elite appearance.

Even the guards of the caravan were ready for battle beside Qin Yuan's family, and the lone travelers who broke away from the tribe were always alert.

"Si En." Looking at the city wall, Qin Yuan called the hobgoblin merchant and asked, "Do you remember the thickness of this city wall?"

"If I remember correctly, it's about four or five meters."

Qin Yuan nodded and asked again: "I remember you once said that the dwarves want to continue to raise the city wall?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, they want to build the city wall to a hundred meters. This is the crazy idea of ​​the second leader of the Iron Hand clan, but this idea is now being realized little by little. I heard that the city wall was only twenty meters long a few decades ago.

meters high."

"Very good." Qin Yuan smiled.

[Grey Dwarf City Wall: A solid city wall made of fine iron. It is extremely difficult to destroy. It has defensive runes engraved on it to form a formation, making the city wall stronger and able to drive away incoming enemies. But strangely, this defense method

The formation seems incomplete, with occasional omissions.]

It seems that the gray dwarves left room for the formation by building the city wall for future convenience.

This is nothing at all. After all, the fifty-meter-high fine iron city wall is enough to serve as their first line of defense. The defensive array is only used by them to check for leaks and fill in the gaps. After all, dwarves are no better than elves and are not actually good at these things.

Rune array.

However, this is a flaw for Qin Yuan.

"How many caravans were there in this castle when you were doing business in the past? How does it compare with yours in terms of strength?" Qin Yuan asked again.

Hearing this, Si En, who was standing by, suddenly raised his head, and then immediately bent down and replied respectfully: "Sir, the gray dwarves are gloomy and suspicious. After all, the castle has not been built, so they don't welcome the caravan very much.

Stay in the castle to prevent any secrets from being accidentally revealed."

"But..." Si En hesitated and said: "Over the years, we have successively traded to many mining slaves, plus they captured them themselves. Maybe this power is Your Excellency.

Something to note.”

Qin Yuan glanced at the hobgoblin, said nothing, and just nodded.

Then, he gave the black bear a look, then slowly walked out of the formation and walked towards the huge city wall.

Standing under the fifty-meter-high city wall, Qin Yuan looked small even with his current size, but he did not feel any pressure. Dead things will be dead things after all.

"Your Excellency, explain your purpose of coming!"

On the city wall, there were gray dwarves shouting questions.

Qin Yuan turned a deaf ear.

"Stop your steps!"

Qin Yuan continued to move forward.

"put!"

"Buzz~~"

As the sound of the crossbow machine expanded, a dozen huge crossbow arrows as thick as forearms tore through the air and shot rapidly. This was a siege crossbow, which was placed on the city wall by the gray dwarves to serve as a killing weapon against large monsters.

But the moment the crossbow arrow was fired, Qin Yuan moved.

He exerted all his strength on his eight legs and avoided the shooting range of the crossbow at an extremely fast speed, then jumped up to a height of more than ten meters.

"boom!"

The body and the city wall made of fine iron made a huge roar, and Qin Yuan's two spider spears directly pierced the defensive formation and inserted into the city wall.

However, Qin Yuan already knew the result well, so he did not hesitate for a moment and continued to jump upwards. He jumped onto the city wall in a few ups and downs.

Seeing the greatly changed faces of the gray dwarves, Qin Yuan didn't have the slightest desire to talk, so he ran directly into the crowd and swung his spider spear.
Chapter completed!
