Necromancer: A New Era

In the dead silence, the body of the Gray Dwarf Chief trembled slightly. He struggled to sit up, his eyes burning with anger and indomitable will. He roared in pain: "There are no cowards in my Gray Dwarf clan! If you have the guts, kill me!"

Before he finished speaking, Efthal's eyes suddenly opened, emitting a cold light. In an instant, the head of the gray dwarf leader was separated from his body and rolled onto the cold ground. This sudden change caused a dead silence around him, followed by an earth-shaking roar. The gray dwarves witnessed the tragic death of their leader, and their anger surged like a tide, and they all wanted to charge forward to avenge their leader.

However, at this critical moment, the little prince of the gray dwarf stepped forward. He tried his best to calm the restless tribesmen and temporarily calmed the bloody battle that was about to break out.

At the same time, the eldest prince could not bear the grief of his father's death. He raised his giant hammer and launched a desperate charge. But it was all in vain, because Elfthard had absorbed the soul of the gray dwarf leader. When the eldest prince rushed to Elfthard, Elfthard just raised his hand, as if an invisible mountain pressed down. The eldest prince's body instantly exploded like a balloon, and blood mist filled the air.

Ephesus watched all this indifferently, without any ripples in his heart. He turned around and looked at the little prince of the gray dwarf, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, "This little guy is a 'smart guy'."

The little prince gritted his teeth and stared at Ephesud. He knew that he could not escape now, as all the tribesmen were watching him. At this moment, Ephesud slowly rose into the air, and the powerful aura emanating from his body made everyone feel suffocated. He opened his arms and roared deafeningly, and the invisible power spread rapidly around him. Many gray dwarves were thrown to the ground by this force, with horror on their faces.

However, the little prince stood there tenaciously, trying his best to resist this powerful pressure. Seeing this from a distance, Tang Yue couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile.

The little prince knew that he had to stand up at this moment. He walked out of the crowd and came in front of Tang Yue. The smart boy saw at a glance that Tang Yue was the real leader of this team. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the little prince made an amazing decision - he knelt on his knees and surrendered to Tang Yue.

"I, the gray dwarf clan," the little prince said in a firm and loud voice, "willing to submit to you!"

Tang Yue's eyes flashed with surprise, but it was quickly replaced by calmness. He smiled at the little prince and said calmly: "You are not bad, you are a 'smart man' who can judge the situation. I solemnly warn you here that your joining needs to be tested by time. If one day you betray me, only destruction will be waiting for you."

The little prince raised his head and looked at Tang Yue firmly: "I will lead my people and swear allegiance to you until death."

"May I have your name!"

"Master, my name is Owen!"

Tang Yue nodded, turned around and announced loudly to the gray dwarves: "From now on, the gray dwarves will fight side by side with us!" Cheers came one after another, and the gray dwarves expressed their willingness to follow Tang Yue. Efthard watched all this coldly, with a sneer of disdain on his face. To him, the power of these dwarves was insignificant...

A great battle ended hastily under the crushing of absolute strength. The joining of the gray dwarfs will bring great help to Tang Yue's team.

In a blink of an eye, several days passed. The Gray Dwarfs moved here under the leadership of Owen. In fact, they had long been jealous of the geographical location here, because it had always been occupied by the Howling Moon Wolf Clan. There were several mines here, and even precious mithril veins underground.

Tang Yue sat with Lina in the temporary castle, watching the busy gray dwarves in the city. Only now did he have time to seriously look at the legendary gray dwarves. They were different from the tall and mighty dwarf warriors that people often saw. The gray dwarves were relatively short, but their wisdom and craftsmanship were unmatched. Their skin was a unique grayish-white color, and their eyes were deep, as if they could see through all the mysteries of the world. Their beards were long and dense, and each strand seemed to contain infinite wisdom and power.

The arrival of the gray dwarves is undoubtedly a powerful help to Tang Yue's base. These dwarves are not only proficient in the art of construction, but also good at creating various exquisite mechanisms and equipment. Their hands seem to have magic power, and they can transform the most ordinary stones and wood into solid walls, magnificent castles, and even ingenious automatic defense systems.

The renovation of the stronghold was carried out quickly under the guidance of the gray dwarves. The originally rough stone walls were carefully carved to become both solid and beautiful. The walls were covered with hidden arrow holes and watchtowers to ensure that any invading enemy would be difficult to escape. The interior of the castle was also replanned, and the intricate passages and secret rooms formed an indestructible line of defense.

The most amazing thing is the mechanisms and equipment built by the gray dwarves. They use water power, wind power, and even the heat energy of the earth's core to create all kinds of magical devices. Some can automatically launch arrows, some can raise a solid shield at a critical moment, and some can detect the enemy in the distance and alarm in time. The existence of these mechanisms and equipment not only greatly improves the defense capability of the stronghold, but also makes everyone living here feel extremely safe.

The gray dwarves not only brought advanced technology and wisdom, but also established a deep friendship with Tang Yue and his subordinates. They worked together, fought together, and shared the changes and growth of the stronghold every day. With the help of the gray dwarves, Tang Yue's stronghold was no longer a simple military fortress, but gradually transformed into a prosperous community integrating defense, life, and culture.

As time went by, the reputation of Tang Yue's stronghold spread far and wide. More and more people came here to witness this miracle created by humans and gray dwarves. Tang Yue and the gray dwarves never stopped exploring and innovating. They went hand in hand and met every new challenge and opportunity together.

Now, when you stand on the height of Tangyue Castle and look around, you will see a thriving scene. Under the solid walls is a busy market, and various ingenious construction machines are operating, just like the machines on the blue planet. This is enough to show how brilliant the mechanical wisdom of the gray dwarves is;

There were bursts of laughter and joy in the castle, and people sat around the fire with the gray dwarves, sharing stories and wisdom with each other. All of this was the earth-shaking changes brought about by the arrival of the gray dwarves.

However, what Tang Yue didn't know was that an elaborate conspiracy was quietly brewing.
