1853, Orta Defense Line
While Zero and the Soul Stone Ball were fighting fiercely, another hidden pawn of the Guardian Empire was slowly revealing its claws.
Ozma City, the last glory of the Dwarves in the world of Soaring Dragon Era, was also the last stronghold.
When the Dwarves were at their peak, their cities almost covered the entire underground. But when the Drought Tide came, countless Dark Spirits swarmed out from the bottomless abyss, and the first to bear the brunt was the underground castle of the Dwarves.
Edurken, Cadas, Orta … Countless names that shone brightly in the history of the Dwarves were wiped off the map one by one, becoming ruins of darkness and death. Even the pride of the Dwarves, which was also the source of their greatest power, the Void Anvil used to build the huge Golem Legion, completely fell after paying with the blood and lives of countless Dwarven Warriors.
The Golem Legion also became something forgotten by the Dwarves. Only a few incomplete Golems remained, still telling the story of the vicissitudes of the past.
The Heart of the Rocky Ground, which was once the core area of the Dwarven Empire, was also completely lost.
The once glorious Dwarven Civilization also declined because of this, never to regain its former glory. When the humans rose, the Dwarves could only completely play a supporting role, hiding in Ozma City and watching the human forces gradually spread throughout the Tedas Continent.
And because the underground network that was once dug out by the Dwarves under Ozma City, which was 10,000 times more complicated than a spider's web, at least 90% of it was already occupied by the Dark Spirits. Ozma also became the frontline of this world's resistance against the Drought Tide. The underground where the heroes once fought was also known as the Path of the Abyss.
Underground City, Orta. It was once one of the Dwarves' underground cities. After being destroyed by the Dark Spirits, it became one of the strongholds to resist the invasion of the Drought Tide. There were also a large number of Gray Robed Guards active here.
The Gray Robed Guards were an extraordinary group in the world of Soaring Dragon Era. Every one of them was the most outstanding warrior, willing to give up everything to resist the invasion of the Drought Tide. They did not belong to any country, but they had a very high status in every country. Because they were the first line of defense to guard the civilized world! When every gray-robed guard joined, they would go through the joining ceremony and drink the blood of the Dark Spirit mixed with the blood of the Great Demon, so that they could sense the arrival of the Dry Tide in advance.
After the Red Police Corps of the Yun Nation came to this world, they built an underground defense line with Alta City as the core to guard against the outbreak of the dry tide. It was worth mentioning that Jing Shuo, the Yun Nation's top strategist, had been the one who had started building this line of defense in advance.
Jing Shuo had the foresight to vigorously support the power of the Gray Robe Guards in this world, restoring the status of the Gray Robe Guards that had been on the verge of collapse. The Yun Nation took this opportunity to forcefully insert themselves into the forces of this world, gaining a decisive influence.
The current Alta City was already just like a steel fortress! A steel fortress was built in the middle of the road. Behind the fortress were densely packed firing ports, and there were also a large number of long-range firepower arranged in a very organized manner. However, because it was underground, in order to prevent a collapse, there were no cannons installed here. Instead, there were a large number of magnetic storm coils and light prism towers.
Not only that, but there were also five divisions stationed in Alta City, with a total of 100,000 soldiers. Under the protection of such a powerful force, the entire underground of the Path of the Abyss could be said to be impregnable. It was also because of the Yun Nation's efforts in these areas that they won the respect of all countries, especially the dwarves.
However, because the war was not going well, General Yoshida transferred four out of the five divisions that were stationed under Ozma City. Even so, with an army of 20000 people, a large number of Gray Robe Guards, and a joint army of dwarves and humans, the line of defense was still very stable.
In Alta City, a large number of soldiers were sitting around the bonfire, eating barbecue and drinking beer. The soldiers of the Red Police Corps and the dwarves mingled together. They guzzled beer while talking dirty jokes, and from time to time, bursts of laughter would burst out.
"Do you know, my f * cking favorite is the ale of you people from this world! Ah, it's beer, hahahaha! It's f * cking pure! And the smell of wheat! It's completely different from the ale we've been drinking before! " An unusually sturdy dwarf with red hair and beard patted the shoulder of a Red Police Corps officer next to him while drinking.
However, this officer was a little depressed. He symbolically took a glass that looked more like a wine barrel and clinked it with the dwarf. Then, he drank in a depressed manner. From the epaulet on his shoulder, he was a Major General!
"Hey! Akai! It's useless no matter how depressed you are! Those undead and those metal golems, we'll drive them out of this world one day! "the dwarf said in a gruff voice.
"You don't understand, Ogen … I'm watching the war on the surface in full swing, and it seems that our recent offensive has also suffered a crushing defeat, but I can only stay underground and rot … Do you know how I feel?" Major General Akai's voice gradually grew louder. "A man should fight on the battlefield and make contributions! Instead of waiting here pointlessly! I really f * cking envy Endo, Fukuoka and the others … They at least have the chance to be sent to support the war on the surface! "
Major General Akai said as he poured himself a large glass of beer and continued, "Yes … yes, I know, Major General Fukuoka died in battle! But do you know, Ogen, he died a worthy death! Worthy death!!! "As Akai said, the alcohol kicked in and he began to shout loudly.
"It's not meaningless for us to be here. Even from your point of view, guarding the Path of the Abyss is to prevent your corps from being harassed from the back. Because God knows how many tunnels our ancestors have dug underground, and now God knows what kind of f * cking things are entrenched in these tunnels!! " This dwarf was called Ogen. After the end of the fifth dry tide, he was transferred here to serve as the commander of the gray robe guards here.
"What's the f * cking point!! Even if the dark spirit really invades and the dry tide really comes! Your gray robe guards should be able to sense it!! But now, there's nothing!! I can only watch my comrades die in battle one by one while I drag out an ignoble existence here!!! "Akai shouted loudly.
Ogen suddenly shook his head and said slowly, "Actually, if you want to sense it … I've been having nightmares for the past few days. I don't know if that counts."
He picked up the glass and continued to take a big gulp. Then he continued, "I always dream that I used to fight against the fifth dry tide with my companions … But the result was not that we won in the end, but that we were killed by the Great Demon …"
"This is f * cking sense?" Akai said with a strong smell of alcohol.
"No, if the dry tide comes, we will sense the Great Demon, but that's not the feeling." Ogen shook his head. "Maybe these days, I've seen too much about the undead and the metal golem, making me a little uneasy …"
"I've told you many times, that's not a metal golem, it's a f * cking robot!! Robot!! "
