After reading the letter, the Dwarf King Geno Wildhammer passed it to Queen Olivia.
Geno Wildhammer looked at us with a complicated expression.
"Dear guests, I should not have told you this. Since you wish to fight against the Ancient Undead Emperor, it seems that you will have to make the trip. However … "Geno Wildhammer seemed to have something to say, but he did not.
At this time, Queen Olivia finished reading the letter.
"Your Majesty, it seems that we should immediately dispatch our troops. Otherwise, if the Warsong Fortress falls, we will all be finished here, "Queen Olivia told the Dwarf King to stop hesitating.
"If that is the case, if you do not mind, I would like to ask for your help in fighting against the Ancient Undead Emperor's Undead Army. As for the reward, you will not be disappointed," the Dwarf King said sincerely to us.
"Undead Army?" I had heard of the undead's Nightmare Army, but I did not know much about the Undead Army.
"Yes. This army is made up of the corpses of the German Empire's soldiers who invaded us years ago. They have become ghouls. They are almost impossible to kill. Unless their heads are completely smashed or burned, they will never die. It is because of these ghouls that we were forced to move underground. Not only that, if our sacrificed dwarven warriors are not dealt with in time, they will also become ghouls, "the Dwarf King said with a sigh.
"If that is the case, then let us depart now. By the time we are done, there will be ghouls everywhere." Just as I expected, I thought. However, since I was going to fight against the Ancient Undead Emperor anyway, helping these dwarves would be a piece of cake for me. At the same time, I could test my strength and earn some money. Why not?
"Brave warriors, please eat something." The Dwarf King's attitude immediately became very grateful.
"Your Majesty, I will go with these brave warriors. Tell Lord Dorum to return to Forgefire Castle and prepare the defenses," Queen Olivia said to the Dwarf King.
"My dear Queen, if that is the case, you will personally lead the army there." The Dwarf King Geno Wildhammer obviously trusted his wife.
We didn't waste any time. After some discussion, we ate our fill. The dwarven army had also assembled. We immediately set off for Warsong Fortress under Queen Olivia's lead.
Actually, the Dwarven Underground City we're in is a large area under the Forge Fortress, Anira and Warsong Fortress. At the same time, these three Underground Fortresses are the large entrances to the Dwarven Underground City.
I saw the Wildhammer Clan's dwarven army outside the palace.
The dwarven riders riding the tamed antelopes carried axes, hammers, and dwarven muskets.
There were also some dwarven warriors. They were covered in armor and had astonishing combat strength. They were like human fortresses.
Of course, there were also dwarf copper puppets, but there were very few of them, and they were all placed on trailers, so they could only be transported.
There were also a few steam chariots and a few magic crystal cannons. The dwarves were busy loading supplies. A few wild boars were responsible for pulling the food, ammunition, and other supplies.
Finally, we were ready to go.
Before we set off, Lord Dorum looked for me and Avina alone.
"I wonder how Rahm is doing now. If you meet Rahm after you return, remember to tell him that I have never hated him," Lord Dorum said to us meaningfully.
Farewell, Dwarf King and Lord Dorum. Under Olivia's lead, we passed through the Dwarven Underground City and headed to Warsong Fortress.
Along the way, we sat in a carriage pulled by a huge wild boar. Actually, it would have been faster if we had just flown over, but there was no need for me to rush.
Looking at the Dwarven Underground City's huge construction and buildings, I admired the dwarves. What surprised me the most was the sky above the Dwarven Underground City. Underground caverns were usually pitch-black, but this huge Dwarven Underground City was not like that.
It was as bright as the starry sky. Although it was not as bright as the sun outside, it was still unique.
According to the Dwarf Queen, there were countless rare ores and cracks in the sky, which allowed sunlight to penetrate and refract.
So, under this starry sky, we went with the Dwarven Wildhammer Clan's army to the Warsong Fortress in the south to support them.
After an unknown amount of time, we seemed to have reached our destination. The Dwarven army stopped. There were countless Dwarven refugees and wounded in front of us, as well as the Warsong Clan's Dwarven warriors.
Queen Olivia personally came forward to inspect the situation. She was different from when we first met. She was fully armed. She wore exquisite Dwarven leather armor, with two short Dwarven muskets hanging from her waist. She also wore a cloak made of unknown fur.
These Dwarves were not too clear about the situation above. They only knew that the ghoul army was huge and aggressive. Many of their villages had been massacred.
Looking at the low morale of the Dwarves, Queen Olivia ordered the army to continue forward. They would go through the entrance and join the Warsong Clan's defense.
We arrived at a huge stone gate that was emitting a dazzling light. Below the stone gate was the hill we had just passed. This was the entrance to the Warsong Fortress that connected the surface and the underground.
When they saw the Warsong Clan's Dwarven guards, they bowed to Queen Olivia of the Dwarven Kingdom.
At the same time, when they saw the reinforcements, they seemed to cheer up. They were ordered to open the gate. We and the Wildhammer Clan's Dwarven army came to the surface. This was the inner part of the mountain range near the Warsong Fortress.
As we came out from underground, I felt a long-lost sense of freedom. As expected, dragons were meant to soar in the sky. They were meant to live underground without oppression. No wonder there were still many Dwarves who were unwilling to live underground. Although they knew that it would be much safer, their stubbornness made them choose to protect their homeland with their lives.
I saw that inside the Warsong Fortress, there were broken walls everywhere. Dwarven corpses were strewn all over the muddy snow.
Broken armor, weapons stuck in the corpses, and burning houses. It was obvious that a terrible war had taken place here.
I didn't want to hide anything. I used my mind to control the Shadow Wings and flew up into the sky. Not far away, I saw a few Dwarven airships dropping oil cans and torches from the sky. The Warsong Fortress was surrounded by countless ghouls that covered the mountains like black dots.
How were we supposed to break through this iron barrel-like siege?
