Chapter 180 Iron Fort (3)
After lying in that stone house for more than ten days, Danica's body recovered almost. As for her experience along the way, this little injury is nothing. During this period, True also visited her several times. Every time she came over, Danica had to be fully prepared for her. This guy always wanted to find out some news from her.
That day, True came again. Seeing that Danica had already gotten out of bed and was doing recovery exercises, she smiled and said, "It seems that you are recovering well!"
Danica nodded and said, "Yes, thanks to Aunt Susan's care, she is really good at treating the injury. By the way, I was about to tell you that my health is no longer a problem, but the task assigned by the dean has not been completed yet..." Danica's meaning was very clear, and she wanted to leave.
True waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, your injury is just right. You should have a few more days of rest to avoid leaving behind. You have never been to Iron Fort before. Today, I have time to take you to visit this great city. Didn't you say you were interested in Iron Fort?"
Danica's face looked a little ugly, and she quickly regained a faint smile. True was not letting herself go! What was his idea? But now she couldn't help herself. She was in the center of the dwarf. Could she still run away?
Danica said: "That's great! I was shocked when I saw the introduction to the Big Forge in my notes. If I could see it with my own eyes, it would be unbelievable!"
True grabbed his dense beard and said proudly: "You will not be disappointed, absolutely not."
Danica followed Duru out, and as soon as she walked out of the stone room, she was shocked. Outside the room was a magnificent corridor, which was more than ten meters high, and the walls were embossed with magnificent epics. The pictures were paved, more than ten meters high and hundreds of meters away. The characters were vivid, including the hairs of some creatures and the scales and patterns were clearly depicted.
Trul looked up at the relief on the wall and said, "This is about the war between the coalition forces of the four major races and the dragon."
Danica looked carefully. In this huge relief, there was a large mountain range in the center of the picture, which could be roughly divided into five areas. The one with long ears in the lower right corner was the elves. The elves were brave enough to kill the enemy in front, and the huge elves magic troops behind were jointly releasing a powerful magic. The space in the center was already unstable, and the overflowing magic power could hang the dragon flying in the sky. The upper right corner was the beast tribe. The tiger tribe wearing heavy armor was holding a giant axe and a spear as a vanguard, breaking through the enemy's front line. Next was the hoofed square formation, the cattle tribe, the sheep tribe and other races, running at a rapid speed. Even in such a high-speed charge, the formation of the hoofed tribe was still
It is very neat, and only the hoofed tribes who have always maintained the gathering of tribes can form such a square formation. The lower left corner is the human race. Among the four major races, the human army is the largest. The soldiers wearing strong plate armor and holding spears are advancing steadily. Even the giant dragons with powerful magic power and strong bodies cannot break through this steel torrent. The upper left is the dwarfs. There are several huge siege chariots in the dwarf battle formation. The flying shells blew up a dragon that casts magic in the air. In the middle of the map, the four-tribe coalition forces jointly attacked, and the dragon was still entrenched on the top of the mountain to support it. Magic and arrows sprinkled the entire sky. The magnificent relief made people feel like they had returned to that glorious years.
Danica really didn't expect that the stout and honest dwarfs could create such a magnificent and detailed large relief, but... According to Danica's information in the Bunos Academy Library, the world war between the four clan coalition forces and the dragon clan was not so magnificent and heroic 50,000 years ago. Every battlefield was full of cruelty and blood. After every war, the bodies of comrades who needed to be cremated could pile into a mountain. The dragon clan is really too powerful. The newly born young dragon has the strong strength of a professional. As long as nothing unexpected happens, it can grow naturally. All dragon clans can be promoted to high-level professionals, and several giant dragons are released.
The powerful magic can flatten a city. In addition to enviable magical talents, the dragon also has a strong body. Ordinary steel weapons cannot pierce their scales. They must use magic arrows made by the elves or alloy war blades specially created by the dwarves. For the four-grand coalition forces, every time a dragon is killed, it is a victory. Even if this victory requires tens of thousands of soldiers to sacrifice their lives, even so, victory is precious and rare. This world war lasted for thousands of years, and for thousands of years, the flesh and blood of the soldiers of the four-grand clans can be used to eliminate the war potential of the dragon clan bit by bit.
The final result of the war was that the human race had more than 2 billion, with only less than 100 million people left. The fierce beast race suffered even worse losses. The northern grasslands that originally lived in more than one billion had a population of less than 50 million after the war. In comparison, the war losses of the elves were relatively small. Most of the elves participating in the war were powerful magicians and would not rush to the front end of the front line. However, the elves who had more than 100 million people survived. Moreover, because the elves reproduction speed was very slow, other races recovered almost in a few hundred years, but the elves rested in the forest for thousands of years before the population exceeded 100 million again. The main force of the four-tribe coalition was the human race and the beast race, which contributed a lot of magic.
The elves of the division are also a powerful combat power. As for the dwarves, they are mainly responsible for forging weapons and manufacturing siege machinery. There are not many people on the battlefield, and they are far from attacking in one direction as shown in this relief. Of course, it was World War I, and the dwarves could not be alone. The dwarves, which originally had a population of 50 million and 600 million, were left in the end. And you should know that this war lasted for thousands of years, and both humans and beasts could reproduce for dozens of generations, and the dwarves had reproduced for several generations, but the elves had reproduced for only three or four generations. Later, scholars estimated that the cumulative death toll of the four tribes in this world war should be between 30 billion and 40 billion.
Danica looked at the relief in front of her and said, "That was a terrifying war." The tragic and greatness were not enough to describe that world war. In Danica's eyes, only the word terror can truly express her impression of that war. In that world war, the enemies faced by the four major races were so powerful that at least in the first five hundred years, there was no hope of victory. On the contrary, every day, every hour, every second, a large number of soldiers died under magic, dragon breath and giant claws. Danica could not imagine how strong the leaders of the four races had to support them, and to support them to persist in winning in the "slaughter" and continue to fight.
"Horror?" Duru repeated, "You are right. It was a terrifying war, but after winning, the four tribes also received valuable rewards - from then on, the dwarves, humans, elves and beasts became the masters of this world."
Danica glanced at Duru, and didn't know what this guy was thinking. He seemed to yearn for that tragic war and longed to fight on the battlefield. What a strange guy. If he hadn't had any favors for that war, she wouldn't have any favors for that war. Even if she knew that she would win in the end, she didn't want to go through that process - it was not a war at all, but a massacre. Sending teams of soldiers up and letting the dragon slaughter. In order to consume his magic and physical strength, he rushed forward when he was tired of killing, hoping to kill this tired giant beast, but what he got was often another massacre. Every time he thought of this way of war, Danica would feel chilled all over. What's even more terrifying is that this is the only way for the coalition forces of the four clans to win in this war. It's so terrifying!
Danica didn't know whether this was the difference between a man and a woman or the difference between a magician and a warrior. Duru was still talking about his views on the war, as if he could kill all directions when he arrived at the battlefield, killing dragons like hunting.
"... But the four tribes did not cherish this hard-earned peace." True suddenly changed his style and said, "This world seems to be cursed, and the battle will never stop."
Danica was stunned. Don't this guy likes to charge? Why did he suddenly become a peace lover?
"But luckily, we live in a peaceful era." Trudeau said, "This world was born in the blood of the four major races. The four major races are all races of the world. If you try to overturn this ancient agreement, enslave other races will not end well."
Danica finally heard something after hearing this. It turned out that True felt that the dwarves had not obtained their due status. Indeed, although they were known as the four major races, the dwarves and the other three races had essential differences in strength. In the current situation, the human race has the greatest and most scattered power. The strength of the Vatican of Light is quite powerful, but in the north are the three major magic academies that she does not have the concept of concept. The remaining human kingdoms are not the same as the Vatican.
, and the fuss has become increasingly serious recently. The southern coastal areas are far away from the core area of the Holy See, and they have basically escaped from the control of the Holy See, but they have not formed any cohesion. A cardinal can make the entire southern coastal areas feel uneasy. In addition to the human race, the overall strength of the elves and the beast race is not much different, but the beast race has a big problem - the political situation is not very stable. The beast king of the beast race died for "some reasons". As for the reason
Danica searched through the library of the Bunos Magic Academy but found no information. In short, she was dead. Now the Beast Clan is regent, but the Beast King's son has grown up and seems to want to inherit the Beast King's position and regain power... In short, it is quite chaotic. In comparison, the Elf Clan is much more stable. Although the contemporary Elf Queen has been in power for five thousand years, she seems to have no intention of abdicating and still firmly controls the Elf
Clan. The Holy See of Light, the Elf King Court, and the Beast Power Council are the most powerful forces in the Katic continent, representing the human race, the Elf and the Beast. It is the Dwarf Kingdom next. Among the continental forces, the Dwarf Kingdom has already reached the second tier, and is in the same category as the three major magic academies, the Tulip Kingdom, and the Druid Sects located in the northeast corner of the continent. Of course, the Dwarf Kingdom is the leader in the second tier, but this position obviously cannot make the young prince feel at ease.
Danica asked tentatively: "Dwarves want to change?"
"Yes, the dwarves need to change!" True said firmly, "and will surely succeed."
This is not necessarily true, Danica muttered in her heart. She is not very optimistic about the dwarves. The most fundamental thing is that she suffers a lot in the sphere of influence: although the human race is very divided, it also occupies the central and western parts of the continent, and there are several large plains, which are very suitable for survival and reproduction; the elves occupy the huge forests in the eastern part of the continent. The climate in the places where the primeval forests can be produced will not be too bad, and the mountains in the east are not very steep; compared with the beast race's prairie, there are also many pastures with plump water and grass, otherwise they will not be able to support more than one billion people. Only the dwarves live in the northwest mountains, Danni
Ka seriously suspected that they were driven here. The mountains are numerous and steep, so it is not suitable to live in settlement. But the northwest mountains where dwarves live are not completely without advantages - the minerals here are extremely rich, and they are really "extremely" rich. Danica saw in a note that almost 70% of the iron tools in the whole world, whether they are rice pots, hoes, weapons and armor, come from the northwest mountains. But it is useless to have resources alone! It is necessary to have population, and the basis for population reproduction is food, and iron ore can't fill the stomach. Trade exchange is a good way in normal times, but in wartime, do you still want to buy food from the enemy?
Danica thinks his calculations are quite reasonable, but True does not think so. He does not think that living in the Northwest Mountains is the reason for the weak dwarves. In his opinion, this is just the result, as for the real reason...
"Of course, the dwarves also need friends." True said this.
Danica was shocked. What did he mean? He thought he was here to help him? What a joke! What does the life and death of the dwarfs have to do with her? Besides, what skills can help such a race like the dwarfs. Danica was about to make excuses when she suddenly remembered something. She seemed to have told Trudeau that it was the dean of the three major magic academy who asked her to take this route. He wouldn't... He wouldn't think that he was sent by the dean of the magic academy to help him, right?
