Just as Leon had said, they had no choice.
They could not expose their identities, and they had to cross the lava river as soon as possible. Other than shamelessly taking advantage of Tang En's privileges, there was no other way.
So they immediately contacted the mercenary group leader, Khal, who was in disguise, and asked him to order everyone to set off.
Although Khal was in a difficult position, he did not want to continue the stalemate here, so he boldly gave the order.
The adventurers, who were still a little hesitant by the lava river, suddenly saw a small team following behind Ellington's team. Then, those people suddenly had an epiphany.
"Damn! There's such a way!? "
"Without the permission of Lord Tang En, and without the consent of the underground dwarves, isn't it dangerous to go over rashly?"
"What kind of danger is there!?"
An adventurer put away the tent quickly and rolled his eyes. "Since Lord Tang En can go over, it means that the underground dwarves are a race that can communicate and accept outsiders. Besides, even if there's danger, are we not going over?"
Faced with the rhetorical question, the adventurer was speechless.
"If we don't go over, then what are we staying here for? And Lord Tang En did not warn us. This in itself is already a kind of tacit consent. What else do you want? We are all human adventurers! Do you want him to invite us over in person? I think it's safer to follow them! "
The adventurer secretly glanced at the campsite of Cesar's Strength and whispered, "Didn't you notice that there has been no movement at the campsite of Cesar's Strength for a few days? Even with such a big movement just now, no one came out from there. This is too strange. "
"You mean …"
"I didn't say anything. Anyway, I don't plan to follow them anymore."
The adventurer carried his backpack and said, "I plan to follow Ellington's team next. Lord Tang En is a mage anyway, so he will definitely have a way to go back. Following them is much more reassuring than following Cesar's Strength."
"You're right … Wait a minute! I'll go with you! "
This idea was accepted by all the other adventurers at the same time. Although Ellington might not accept it, it was at least more reassuring than following behind Cesa's Strength. After all, the only way out was destroyed by Cesa's Strength.
Therefore, almost all the adventurers began to move. They pulled up their tents, put away their stoves, and hurriedly followed Ellington's team, successfully crossing the lava river.
The Dwarves did not say much about the appearance of these adventurers. In their eyes, these people were also brought by Tang En.
In any case, other than height, short, fat, and thin, they couldn't tell the difference between humans, so they might as well let them all go.
If they wanted to cause trouble, he would just throw them into the lava river.
Thousands of people had gathered in the camp, and the crowd began to gather towards the stone bridge. As they crossed the stone bridge bit by bit, there were fewer and fewer people left. At this time, there was finally movement from Caesar's Strength.
Their leader didn't say anything. He just gave the order for all the members of Cesar's Strength to pack up and cross the lava river.
"Tsk! I thought they would have some tricks up their sleeves. I didn't expect them to use Lord Tang En's face to cross the river in the end. "
"If they really had a way, they wouldn't have been in a stalemate here for so long."
"That's true. They are such a famous mercenary group, but I didn't expect them to be so useless."
"Why don't we stop them and not let them cross the bridge?"
An adventurer said casually. "Who knows if they will destroy the stone bridge after crossing it?"
As soon as he said this unintentional sentence, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly dropped to the freezing point.
The silent adventurers turned around and looked at the Cesar's Strength mercenary group.
The hatred that had been aroused by the broken bridge now exploded, and the strong hostility could not be dispelled.
The members of the Cesar's Strength mercenary group remained silent, but they silently clenched the weapons in their hands, waiting for an order to kill without hesitation.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
Golden lava balls suddenly rose from the lava river on both sides. Although the lava balls floating in the air did not move, they made all the adventurers' hair stand on end.
At the bridgehead, the short and dark-skinned underground dwarf soldiers held a warhammer in one hand and spread out the other. Their palms flickered with the radiance of magic, and their eyes were bright. Their cold gazes swept across the people on the bridge, and they said coldly, "Killing each other is forbidden in the Red Rock Cave. Violators, die!"
"Hiss —"
The adventurers gasped in unison. The scorching air burned their lungs, but it also calmed their brains.
They … were all spellcasters?!
Seeing those dark-skinned dwarf soldiers holding a warhammer in one hand and casting spells in the other, the adventurers were shocked.
Didn't they say that dwarves didn't know any spells?!
Were they cheating?!
Even Tang En suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at the guards with a shocked expression.
Previously, he did not know that these guards were all spellcasters!
At this moment, their bodies were overflowing with magic, and strong earth and fire elements were entwined around them, closely connecting them with the earth and flames. It was as if they were born as one.
Brian was stunned. "… Damn, these are real spellcasters, not rune dwarves!"
Yes, these dwarves were all mages, not rune dwarves who relied on their innate ability to cast spells. They also did not have the iconic magic runes of rune dwarves. In other words, they had broken the tradition that dwarves could not learn magic!
"Brian …"
The corners of Tang En's mouth curled up slightly, and he teased, "It seems that the strength of your distant relatives is stronger than yours."
Brian was speechless. In this world where magic dominated high-end combat power, the number of individuals who mastered magic determined the strength of the entire population. The rune dwarves who relied on their small numbers certainly could not be compared with other races who could master the ability to cast spells through learning.
There was no doubt that the situation of the underground dwarves deeply shocked Brian.
"Big brother, do you know the reason?"
Brian was very eager to know the reason. If this possibility could be replicated in the Dwarven Kingdom, then the overall strength of the dwarves would be improved again.
"Of course I don't know."
Tang En shook his head, and while walking forward, he said, "I have a guess, but I'm not sure."
Brian's spirit was lifted. "Even if it's a guess, it's fine. Tell me."
"I told you at the beginning that the underground world is a deposition area of magic and elements, right? Because of the deposition effect of magic and elements, it led to a large number of magic crystals in the depths of the underground to mutate and turn into light crystals. "
Tang En stroked his chin and deduced the possibility. "So I think, could it be because of the deposition of magic and elements that the dwarves living in the underground world have changed over a long period of time? The dwarves, who were born with no affinity with magic, had been immersed in the deposition area of magic saturation for a long time. After a long time, they began to change and gradually accepted magic … "
"It's very possible!"
Brian's eyes lit up. "When we go back, I will tell this news to Duranton. We will transform Hammer Forge Castle!"
"It's useless."
Tang En didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "On the one hand, this is a very long process, thousands of years of evolution and change. It's not something that can be done in one or two generations. On the other hand, such a natural deposition area of magic and elements can't be artificially created. You can't imagine how huge the resources needed for this …"
Tang En lowered his head and looked at his hands, feeling the invisible magic power flowing through the gaps between his fingers. He said, "If the magic power on the surface is like clear water that flows past you at any time, then in the underground world, the magic power is as thick as sticky honey that surrounds you. … Staying in this environment for a long time may not be a good thing. "
In this kind of oversaturated environment, the activity broke through the active limit and became full of inertia. The oversaturated magic became very thick, and it was quite difficult to separate and extract a part of it. It was like people could easily filter water with a filter, but sticky honey would directly block the filter.
Because the efficiency of magic absorption was too high, even Tang En found it quite difficult to cast spells in this environment.
However, the underground dwarves living in this environment had a poor innate affinity with magic and a low rate of magic absorption. Therefore, they formed a good balance with the surrounding magic and mastered the ability of spellcasters.
It had to be said that this was a miracle formed by nature. Nature's supreme work even broke the initial setting of the Earth Goddess for the dwarves.
After discovering the spellcasting talent of the underground dwarves, Tang En's eyes became playful.
At first, Tang En only regarded the underground world as a new trade market and supply place. Now, he suddenly found that it was also an excellent training base for magic warriors.
The underground dwarves were natural magic warriors!
They could cast spells to bombard from afar. If their magic was exhausted, they could just swing their hammers at close range. Moreover, they were strong and could wear armor. Their defense was strong, and their short stature made them a small target. This was simply a close to perfect war race!
Therefore, Tang En was tempted.
He had to find a way to persuade the underground dwarves to join his war chariot.
According to the plan in his mind, if he came up with the concepts and then trained the underground dwarves, they could unleash unimaginable combat power. This increase in combat power that was several times greater than their own strength was the best choice to fight against the army of Chaos!
While thinking, Tang En and the others finally entered the city of the underground dwarves. After asking Depp and Locke to look after the guards, Tang En only brought a few people with him and went to Barod's place.
As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Tina who had been released.
