Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

After putting away the half of the "Eye of Gruumsh", Titus lowered his head and said to the dwarf prince seriously: "Zen, His Majesty Ed should have told you the details."

Zen nodded solemnly: "Yes, Sir Titus, we dwarves will follow you and obey your orders in the future."

Titus shook his head and said: "We are just allies of mutual benefit and win-win, there is no subordinate relationship, and you dwarves are not my servants."

Gu Jinlong stared at the face of Ed. The dwarf prince, who looked a bit like him, sighed softly: "Your Majesty Ed. He is a brave and selfless dwarf and also my friend. I will try my best to complete the task he entrusted to me and protect you."

Zen hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully: "Sir Titus, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you on behalf of the shield dwarves."

Gu Jinlong turned around and walked towards the cave entrance: "Follow me and move your people."

"Okay."

In this way, Gu Jinlong and the dwarves quickly walked out of the Lonely Mountain Treasure House and came to the outside world.

Titus said: "The army of the Burning Empire may invade at any time. We must complete the evacuation as soon as possible and move your people to a safe area."

In order not to waste time, Titus lifted Zen's body with his huge claws, flapped the dragon wings behind him, first took off into the air, then spread his wings and glided towards the foot of the Lonely Mountain.

At this time, the foot of the Lonely Mountain was already crowded with dwarves. They were bustling and noisy, and seemed a little panicked.

"Where is Lord Zen taking us?"

"I heard from them that we won't be back in the future? Are we leaving Avondeldan?"

"What happened? Where is Lord Eddard? Are the orcs going to attack again?"

Suddenly, a dwarf screamed and pointed to the sky.

"Look!"

"It's Lord Titus!"

"And Lord Zen! They are here to pick us up!"

The dwarves all raised their heads and looked at the sky, and suddenly cheered enthusiastically.

The ancient golden dragon spread its wide wings and glided down from the top of the mountain with their prince, casting a huge shadow on the ground, covering the dwarves.

"Dawn Wing" Titus, that is the dragon who saved Avondeldan, and the most steadfast ally of the dwarves!

As the shadow grew bigger, a dwarf shouted, "Wait, they're coming!"

"Make way, let Lord Titus and His Highness Zen land!"

The dwarves pushed and shoved, and finally made room for the Ancient Golden Dragon at the foot of the lonely mountain, allowing it to land smoothly.

The dust was flying around, and a strong wind blew. Under the respectful and enthusiastic eyes of the dwarves, the Ancient Golden Dragon landed on the ground with Zen lightly.

Titus ordered, "Zen, you talk to them."

Then he put Zen on a higher rock and used it as his podium.

Zen stood on the rock, his eyes swept across the different faces of the dwarves, most of whom were relatively weak old people, children and women.

-Although female dwarves also have beards, sturdy bodies, and their voices are heavier than those of human men, they are still quite "delicate" in Zen's eyes.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of dwarves, Zane could not help but tighten the Hammer of Rock in his hand. The heavy responsibility like a mountain weighed on his shoulders, making him a little breathless.

Since he was a child, Zane has admired his father Ed and regarded becoming a great king as his lifelong goal.

But when this moment really came, Zane still felt a little unreal.

After a moment of silence, the dwarf prince who was highly expected slowly spoke and said solemnly: "Everyone, I gathered you here this time to evacuate Avondeldan and go to a safe place under the protection of Lord Titus."

"Your Majesty Zen, are you really leaving here?"

"Then, what about our relatives in Avondeldan?"

"But my ancestors have lived in the Blackrock Mountains for generations, how can I abandon everything here?"

"Then where should we go?"

Zen's tone was heavy and his voice was sonorous and powerful: "The High Mountain Dwarf Kingdom is about to encounter extremely powerful enemies, and even my father is not sure to defend Avondeldan.

The task my father gave me is to take you to evacuate here temporarily. Even if Avondeldan falls, the High Mountain Kingdom can continue!"

"Your Highness Zen."

Zen looked down at many dwarfs from a high position with a firm look in his eyes - they will be his people.

From now on, the lives, livelihoods and even the future of these tens of thousands of people will depend on him, and whether the glorious history of the Mountain Kingdom and the great civilization of the shield dwarves can be passed on also depends on his choice.

Beside Zenn, Titus also had a solemn face, but he was still secretly happy in his heart.

Not only did he get all the inheritance of the Mountain Kingdom, but he could also let tens of thousands of dwarves work for him for free. It was indeed a win-win behavior.

——Of course, the win-win here means that Cassius won twice.

"Ah——"

A loud dragon roar came from the top of his head, and several golden dragons circled in the sky, and then landed in front of the ancient golden dragon one after another, bowing their heads respectfully.

"Senior Titus, we came here at the order of the Golden Dragon Council."

These golden dragons are basically adult dragons nearly 20 meters long, but compared with ordinary golden dragons, their bodies are slightly slender.

Their scales are engraved with dense runes, their claws and toes are wearing bracelets made of fine gold and mithril, and even their scales are inlaid with pieces of sparkling gems, and some are wearing robes.

And their identities are also obvious - the magic lovers among the golden dragons, the magic hoarders.

In order to make up for the "inaction" of the Golden Dragon Council in the last war, the gilded sage Crassus strongly supported the transfer of the dwarves this time and sent several magic lovers.

It is definitely difficult for ordinary mages to transfer tens of thousands of dwarves at one time, and the magic lovers sent by the council have the spellcasting level of the archmage level, and they also have the natural spellcasting ability of the golden dragon.

"So many golden dragons?"

"Moradin, this is the first time I have seen so many golden dragons gathered together!"

"As expected of Lord Titus! As expected of the Wings of Dawn!"

The dwarves looked up in great surprise, looking at the golden dragons that fell from the sky, and sighed heartfeltly, and even Zen was shocked.

Titus nodded slightly and whispered, "Very good, thank you for your help, let's start building the portal."

"Okay."

The magic-loving golden dragons responded in unison, and then gathered together. The runes carved on the surface of their scales were shining, emitting the aura of space magic.

Accompanied by the low chanting of dragon language, the magic network resonated, the space gradually twisted and folded, and a translucent portal dozens of meters high appeared in front of the magic-loving golden dragons.

[Gate to the Other World (Dragon Language)]

And the place where this portal leads to is the residence carefully prepared by Cassius for the dwarves-Demiplane 054, which is also called the "Volcano Secret Domain" by the imperial colonists.

This demiplane is located at the intersection of the fire element plane and the earth element plane. It was created by a violent element explosion more than ten years ago, and was discovered by the expedition team led by Serkan, the governor of the imperial colony, a few months ago.

This demiplane is full of precious minerals and magic gems. It is an undeveloped and precious "virgin land".

But the Empire was not in a hurry to develop it, and there were only a few people who knew the coordinates of the plane. After all, they did not have enough manpower in the Fire Element Plane, and it was inevitable that the news would be leaked, attracting others to scramble for it.

Now, the evacuation of the dwarves has become a good opportunity. These dwarves from the Mountain Kingdom do not communicate with the outside world and are determined to take refuge.

They are also good at mining ore and forging weapons. They can obey Titus's orders and work for the Empire for free. They are definitely a great choice to be sent there.

"Swish--"

The chanting of the magic-loving golden dragons finally ended, and a huge golden portal appeared in front of the dwarves, leading to an unknown mysterious realm.

The dwarves stood in front of this huge portal, and they dared not enter. Their ancestors have lived in the Blackstone Mountains for generations, constantly mining, smelting, and forging. They never thought they would leave here.

After leaving their familiar hometown, what kind of future will be waiting for them? The dwarves can't imagine it.

The dwarf prince, or the future Lord of the Mountains, Zen, also stood in front of the portal with trepidation. He turned his head and looked at his tribesmen with different expressions.

Can he really lead them to continue the Kingdom of the Mountains?

Can he really become a great king like his father Ed?

Zen didn't know.

"Woo--"

The distant sound of the horn came from Avendeldan, and Zen recognized it as the sound of the assembly horn.

Only when encountering a full-scale war and needing to summon all the dwarf warriors in the kingdom, the huge horn will be blown, and its sound will spread throughout the Blackrock Mountains.

Hearing the melodious howling and the chaotic hoofbeats of the argali cavalry, Zen's mind reappeared the face of his father Ed, and he remembered his instructions before leaving.

Thinking of this, Zane clenched the Hammer of Rock in his hand and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Father, don't worry, I will continue the Kingdom of the Mountains."

The dwarf prince turned his head and looked at the portal with a firm gaze, and then strode in under the gaze of countless dwarves.

"Everyone, let's go."

Led by Zane, the dwarves behind him also entered the portal one by one with trepidation.

Passing through the tunnel of space, in front of Zane, there were majestic volcanoes rolling up and down, like lava monsters, with exposed ore everywhere, and the sky was shrouded in orange.

-This is a brand new demiplane.

"Moradin, there is such a place"

Zane couldn't help but sigh. He had spent his whole life in the Blackrock Mountains and had never seen such a magnificent sight.

The ancient golden dragon also entered the portal and came to this demiplane, saying: "Zen, this is your future home.

This is a demiplane I discovered several years ago. It is full of precious minerals and is very suitable for you dwarves to live in. I call it the Secret Realm of Volcanoes."

Zen said: "Sir Titus, I have no way to repay your kindness. What do you need us shield dwarves to do for you?"

Titus felt the oncoming hot wind and said: "Just follow your father's wishes. You can live here in peace, thrive, accumulate strength, and wait until the future to recapture Avondeldan."

Zen shook his head and said firmly: "Sir Titus, you have done so much for us. Not only did you help us repel the orcs, but you also helped us transfer population and find homes. We really can't repay you.

You know, dwarves have never been an ungrateful race. We must repay our benefactors. "

Titus thought for a moment and then said: "Okay, in that case I won't be polite. I plan to organize a military alliance to resist the dragon, but now I lack weapons, equipment, and enough money.

How about 60% of the precious metals and precious gems you get from the volcano will be used to develop your own power, and 40% will be handed over to the future Anti-Dragon Alliance? "

Zayn nodded and replied solemnly: "Your Excellency Titus, resisting the tyranny of the dragon, this is what we dwarves should do.

Let's do this. After the new mountain kingdom is stabilized, we will only keep 30% of it ourselves, and the remaining 70% will be handed over to you and your military alliance, and we will build the best weapons for you."

"Such an agreement is too harsh on you." Titus still frowned on the surface and shook his head, as if he was unwilling to take advantage of too much.

Zayn said firmly: "Your Excellency Titus, this is not only to repay you, but also for my father and the Alpine Dwarf Kingdom.

Resisting the tyranny of the evil dragon and recapturing Avendeldan will become the responsibility and obligation of each of us shield dwarves. Even if we spend everything, it is worth it. We will travel through these volcanoes to find the most precious materials, The most precious metal..."

Hearing this, Titus sighed, but nodded: "Then do as you say, Zayn, I believe your father will be proud of you..."

But he was really secretly happy in his heart. These days, there are still people rushing to work as cows and horses?

I don’t know how these dwarves will feel when they learn that they have worked day and night to resist the evil dragon, but all the results have entered the evil dragon’s mouth.

"Father……"

Thinking of his father and Evandeldan who was about to face the war, Zayn's heart was full of reluctance.

Looking around at the surrounding scenery, the dwarf prince secretly determined that he would let the mountain kingdom thrive here again. He would lead his people to build a new city and turn this rolling volcano into the home of the dwarves.

One day, he will return to the main material plane in an upright manner, leading the most elite dwarf army, wearing the best equipment, to take back their homeland.

What the dwarves are about to usher in is a brand new future, the dawn of dawn - just as the title of their golden dragon ally goes.

And the golden dragon Titus is also full of expectations.

Free miners are finally here. (End of chapter)
