.For half a month, after Yang Qianli lost all the 120,000 dwarves captured by him to Tielu City, he issued an order against his generals to block Tielu City.

With a command, the four main roads leading to the outside world of Tielu City were completely blocked. What made Yang Qianli feel a little puzzled was that the dwarves and humans in Tielu City did not seem to be too panicked. The abnormal reaction made Yang Qianli uneasy. In order to dispel the uneasy, Yang Qianli began to command his subordinates to attack the city. No matter whether your Tielu has any way to deal with it, as long as you break the Tielu City, all the calculations will become empty talk. And even if you can't capture Tielu, you can consume a lot of food and grass in the city. Siege is a sure profit for the True Demon Army.

Another day is the end. Looking at the true demon soldiers who retreated like a tide, Hubble couldn't help but ask Pang Yi standing beside him and said, "Mr. Pang, when can we start fighting back?"

"It's almost done." Pang Yi stared at the True Demon Army retreating outside the city and replied casually.

"When is it almost?" Hubble asked unwillingly.

"It's almost the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow." Pang Yi replied while walking, and avoided the hammer thrown behind him, smashing the real demon army who was hiding in the pile of dead bodies and pretending to be dead.

"Huh~Huh~" Hubble gasped and stared at the back of Pang Yi who was walking further and further away. He hit the hammer just now, but he was really angry that Pang Yi just said perfunctorily. But he accidentally killed a soldier of the real demon army who pretended to be dead.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. I don't think Mr. Pang has no malice." The minister beside him hurriedly advised.

"Don't worry, I won't blame him. They came from all over to help us resist foreign enemies. How could I blame him? I was just a little unhappy with his inappropriate attitude. I really don't know if he was influenced by Emperor Feng Yang. I heard that Emperor Feng Yang sometimes said nothing." Hubble replied in a low voice.

"Eh... Your Majesty should say less of this. Now is not the time for us to talk about others leisurely."

"Well, I know. What are you looking for me?" Hubble asked nodded.

"Your Majesty, what you have told us is done, I am here to report it."

"Oh, so fast?" Hubble said with some surprise.

"Your Majesty, we are dwarves. That thing is just a piece of cake for us. Now that we have completed that thing, your Majesty should go and ask Mr. Pang what we will do next."

"Yes, yes, you're right, I'll go now." Hubble replied.

...

"So fast?" Pang Yi said in surprise.

"Of course, that little thing is not a big deal for us dwarves." Hubble said proudly.

"Okay, since it has been completed, then our next move can begin. But Your Majesty, my next plan is risky. If you are not careful, Iron Lu City will not be able to be saved." Pang Yi looked at Hubble and asked.

"...I believe in you. After fighting side by side for so long, I knew very well that if you hadn't been for the help of the humans you brought, the Iron Lu City would have fallen into the hands of the true demon long ago. So no matter what you want to do now, I, Hubble, would have supported you."

"...Thank you for your trust. I, Pang Yi, will definitely not disappoint you." Pang Yi said solemnly to Hubble.

The next day, the 10,000 True Demon Army, which blocked the main road in the southern part of Tielu City, was raided by humans and dwarf coalition forces. None of the 10,000 True Demon Army survived and was wiped out. What made Yang Qianli even more depressed was that he didn't know who the enemy was raiding the True Demon Army? Now that Tielu City is surrounded on all sides, it is impossible to form an army outside Tielu City that can eliminate the 10,000 True Demon Army. This mysterious army was done very thoroughly, and he did not even leave a companion who died in battle, so that Yang Qianli did not even give him a chance to understand his opponent.

"Is it because Feng Yang sent troops to join the war?" The answer was quickly overturned by the scout. The scout who was responsible for investigating the surrounding situation came back and reported that there were no traces of large-scale military agglomeration outside the attacked True Demon Army camp.

"I x, did that army fly down from the sky?" After hearing the scout's report, Yang Qianli couldn't help but curse.

The scolded scout didn't dare to retaliate and could only defend himself in a low voice: "Sir, we brothers really didn't find traces of large-scale military agglomeration around us."

"Forget it, let's go down." Yang Qianli said impatiently.

After sending the scout away, Yang Qianli sat in the main seat with some annoyance. The sudden emergence of this army made Yang Qianli feel uneasy. The emergence of an army beyond his expectations was likely to destroy the plan he had originally formulated.

Seeing this, the adjutant whispered: "Sir, do you think you will recall the other three armies responsible for blocking Iron Lu City. Since that mysterious army can eliminate all ten thousand true demon troops, then the other three armies are all true demon troops organized by ten thousand people. Wouldn't they also be very dangerous?"

"...You are right, go and arrange it. I still have something to think about." Yang Qianli said to the adjutant after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, I'll go now."

Sitting in the main tent of the South Road Blockade Army, Yang Qianli was puzzled, where did these people come from? The scouts dared not lie to him, saying that there was no trace of large-scale army aggregation outside, that was not. In other words, that army did not attack the South Road Blockade Army from outside. The remaining attack route was only in the sky... and underground.

Yang Qianli's mind flashed with a flash of inspiration, and his eyes stared at the ground. The idea of ​​coming from the sky was directly rejected by Yang Qianli. If it was coming from the sky, it would take at least 20,000 troops that could quickly destroy the 10,000 true demon army. Then these 20,000 people would always be discovered by people. However, since the attack, no one has ever said that there were UFOs in the sky before the incident. Moreover, only the Tianyu Winged Man can fly in the Forest Continent, but Tianyu is an ally of the True Demon, so he would not do such things that are scattered.

After being eliminated one by one, the only one of the attack routes of the mysterious army was left. Attacked from the underground, the real demon's current combat opponent was dwarves, that is, digging holes was not a problem for dwarves who had been dealing with mines for many years. Secondly, only by attacking from the ground can the real demon army be caught off guard without realizing it. This can explain why the scouts could not find the enemy's assembly ground outside the camp of the South Road Blocking Army.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this might be correct. Yang Qianli suddenly stood up and walked outside the tent and ordered his personal soldiers to look for it. He turned the entire True Demon Military Camp to the sky and found the holes where the dwarves were dug. Especially pay attention to see where the soil on the ground was turned over.

The mobilization of troops made the returned adjutant puzzled. After hearing Yang Qianli's reasons, the adjutant also felt that at present, this is the only possibility that it is most likely true.

The result was not ideal. After looking through the True Demon Camp, the True Demon Army did not find the possible hole that Yang Qianli speculated. Yang Qianli felt relieved when he thought about this result. The dwarves are experts in digging holes, so how could they not know how to hide the hole? Now, unless the True Demon Army camp is dug, you won’t think about finding the hole dug by the Dwarves. But this is a bit too much. Since you have already understood the dwarves’ tricks, you can just remind others to pay attention to precautions. There is no need to find the hole dug by the Dwarves.

Soon, Yang Qianli paid the price for his decision. After the South Road Blockade Army was accidentally killed, the North Road Blockade Army also suffered an accident. This time, the dwarves did not even show their faces. They directly dug the tunnels under the camp of the North Road Blockade Army, and introduced the gas gas that they would encounter when mining. They asked the North Road Blockade Army to make a good earth plane with fire.

Standing on the ruins of the Yuanbei Road Blockade Army that had been blown into a circular pit, Yang Qianli suddenly felt a chill. If the war dwarfs used this method to come up under his camp... When they thought of this, Yang Qianli couldn't help but shivered.

"Sir, what are we going to do next?" the adjutant asked Yang Qianli softly.

"Siege the city. Siege the city with all your might. Recall the remaining two blockade troops and devote them to future siege battles."

"yes."

"Come back." Yang Qianli called out to the adjutant who turned around and wanted to give the order.

"Sir, what else do you have to give?" the adjutant turned around and asked.

"After you give the order, you can immediately mobilize people, dig a deep trench along our camp, and then find a way to divert water and fill it up."

"Sir, can I ask the reason?" the adjutant asked in confusion.

"Look at this place. I don't want our camp to become like this." Yang Qianli pointed to the big round pit where he was in and explained to the adjutant.

The adjutant looked at the ruins of the North Road Blockade Army. Thinking of the fact that the soldiers of the North Road True Demon Army had no bones, he nodded in a hurry and promised to find someone to go back.

Although he won a battle in Tielu City, Hubble was not very happy. He was fortunate to witness the disappearance of the North Road Blockade Army with his own eyes and was a little uneasy since he returned to Tielu City.

"Hubert, you seem to have something to worry about?" Hubert's wife asked Hubert's return home softly.

"Ah, it's a little bit." Hubble always respected his wife and nodded and replied.

"Can you tell me?"

His wife was willing to be her audience, so Hubble immediately stopped hiding it and told his wife the whole story of accompanying Pang Yi to plot against the North Road Blockade Army. After saying that, he said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that those toxic gas gases gathered and released to have such great power, which was enough to catch up with the forbidden curse. It was so terrible."

"Hubblet, do you regret your original decision now?"

"...a little." Hubble replied hesitantly.

“…Hubblet, how many people did our Iron Furnace originally have?”

"Ten million." As the dwarf king, Hubble kept this in mind and immediately answered.

"Okay, then I'll ask you, how many people do we have in Tielu now?"

"Apart from Feng Yang, there are about four million left." Hubble's voice lowered.

"Four million, plus about one million tribes who sent Feng Yang. How many of our compatriots have died in the war of aggression by the True Demon? You feel regretful that you just killed a team of ten thousand people of the True Demon Army. Ask yourself, are you worthy of those tribes who die with your eyes?"

His wife's voice became more and more severe, and in the end, he was almost yelling at Hubble, but Hubble could not refute it because his wife did not yell wrongly. He was indeed a little sad about a team of ten thousand people who killed the True Demon in one breath.

"I don't want to advise you anything. I just want to tell you that our Iron Lu and the True Demon are enemies of life and death. The trouble of the five million tribesmen makes me unable to have sympathy for anyone of the True Demon. Hubble, put away your sympathy. Go to the tribesmen who have been won back and listen to the humiliating life they lived in the days they were captured by the True Demon. I think at that time, you would only think that there were too few true demon soldiers killed."

Hubble was driven out of the house by his wife. Helplessly, Hubble could only slowly walk to the place where the captured people were placed. Using the dwarves' ability to dig holes, most of the 120,000 dwarves that were burdened by Yang Qianli were secretly sent out of Tielu City and sent to the rear to recuperate. At this time, there were not many dwarves, women and children in Tielu City except for the dwarves who were willing to stay and participate in the war. Most of the dwarves and children who stayed were locals whose families were still in the city.

As the dwarf king, of course all the dwarves knew him. When Hubert came, he would greet him in a hurry when he saw him. Hubert looked at him with some dwarf children not far away, and couldn't help feeling sad. He knew that these dwarves were worried that they would look down on them. But as a monarch, how could he look down on his people?

Sitting on the steps with a pleasant face, Hubble held a dwarf child and began to ask how he had been doing these days? The children were all sensitive. Seeing that the dwarf king was as easy-going as he imagined, Sue also let go of his worries and gathered beside Hubble and worked hard to answer Hubble's questions.

When Hubble heard them ask how they were doing when they were captured, the faces of many dwarf children changed, and several of them couldn't help but wipe their tears.

"Don't cry, it's too rude to be in front of His Majesty." A slightly older boy said to a boy younger than him.

"But brother, when they think of what happened at that time..."

"Don't be afraid, everything is over. Your Majesty will protect us."

"But the imprint on us..."

"Brand? What brand?" Hubble asked after hearing this.

"Your Majesty..." The older boy hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said to Hubble: "Your Majesty, will you not recognize that we are your people after seeing the marks imprinted by the true demons?"

Hubble quickly replied, "Of course not. You are dwarves, and I am the dwarf king. Unless you betray the Iron Furnace, I will not refuse to admit you."

"...Your Majesty, please see." The older boy thought about it, slowly unbuttoned his clothes, and showed his back to Hubble. When Hubble saw it, a sense of anger suddenly came to his mind.

The slave mark turned out to be a slave mark, which represents the humiliating red mark, which stung Hubble's eyes.

"Your Majesty, those real demons said that we dwarves are born slaves, so we must stamp a seal for us slaves." The older boy lowered his head and said in a choking tone.

"... Are there many dwarves like you?" Hubble asked with anger.

"Any captured dwarf will be stamped with the slave mark. They also include those dwarfs occupied by the real demons." His wife's voice sounded in her ears.

Hubble looked back and saw his wife standing quietly behind him, holding a basket in her hand.

"You have known this for a long time." Hubble asked softly.

"Well, I just don't know how to tell you?" the wife replied softly.

"...I know what to do in the future, you don't have to worry about me." Hubble said slowly.

"I trust you."

On the tower of Iron Lu City, the humans who witnessed Hubble's momentum changed softly, withdrew their gaze from observing Hubble, slowly washed a stack of cards in their hands, slowly pulled out one and looked at it, and whispered to themselves: "The Dwarf King who put away his compassion may be a good thing for Iron Lu today."

"Sarachi, you're making a fool of yourself again." A winged man sitting next to him with his legs crossed over his face and said with contempt. Unlike the winged man's wings, the wings behind him are golden and emit a faint colorful halo.

"Hmph, don't say it so badly. As a reincarnation with the brain of Creation God, my wisdom is not comparable to your wings." Sarach immediately replied disdainfully.

"you……"

"Okay, Sarach, Marit, you two are not talking less. I can't hear anyone else's conversation clearly. Oh, it would be great if my seventh brother was here." The person who had been listening and turned around and said to the two who were quarreling.

"Il, what did you hear after listening for a long time?" Marit asked curiously.

"There is no important news, it is all about this war, and the news we need is of no use." Il replied with some frustration.

"Don't worry, we will definitely find others. There is a bond between the seven of us, and fate will bring us together." The old god Sarach began to wash up the cards in his heart again.

"Tsk, it's mysterious." Marit said in a low voice disdainfully.

"Hmph, I and I are not very familiar with each other." Sarach immediately fought back without being outdone.

"Who do you think is the stupid guy?"

"Whoever gets involved will tell you whoever is."

...

With a wry smile, Il felt sad for himself and the two people in front of him who were incompatible with each other...
