King from scratch

Step back in time a little bit.

The dwarves, who were still discussing army equipment, continued the conversation before the first cylinder of metal was hurled onto the hastily built fortress.

"Although the forging skills of that group of great scientists are terrible, I have to admit that their inventions are really outstanding."

"If that thing really comes from the hands of great scientists, it will definitely have more than this kind of attack power." Connor said: "A more dangerous ultimate move is yet to come."

Duolongna: "Then wait until you see the attack strength of this ultimate move, and then finish?"

The dwarves said one after another: "I have no objection."

Cylindrical metal roared towards them, and the temporary fortress built by the dwarves was broken down almost instantly, and the surging energy hit the scene, sweeping everything.

But the dwarves were already ready. The humanoid exoskeleton device extended from the dwarf's waist, wrapping the dwarf from head to toe. In an instant, the stocky dwarves turned into humanoid armor wrapped in steel shells.

To be precise, this is not a steel shell. It is made of many extinct creatures as materials, a wide variety of precious gemstones as ether nodes, plus hundreds of dwarves tempering day and night, and finally completed the most dwarf forging history. Expensive device - exoskeleton mecha.

This is not a device that the natives of this world would think of. Races that grew up with ether are accustomed to using ether to gain power. Even dwarves who are keen on forging are more accustomed to making more powerful ether weapons.

Only human beings who have no way to strengthen themselves, but yearn for a powerful other world will describe the appearance of mechas.

Its prototype comes from the "homework" submitted by the players. A large number of players are keen to create some kind of "mecha" that can wrap the human body for combat. Of course, these designs are almost always "failures" in the hands of the dwarves. "evaluation of.

After all, based on the players' attainments in forging, objectively speaking, these so-called 'mechas' are a pile of rubbish.

But the dwarves became interested in the so-called "mecha" on the player's blueprint after receiving one after another of the odd-shaped assignments.

When they were studying train manufacturing, they took the time to complete the modification and improvement of the design drawings.

Blueprints aren't really difficult - for dwarves.

The difficulty is that there are many problems between the blueprint and the real thing.

For these problems, the dwarves spent some time trying various things, and finally found that the failure of players is very normal.

There are unsolvable technical problems in the design of mechas—mechas made of ordinary materials can play a role, and the aborigines who don't wear mechas can easily do it with ether.

So, in the end, the dwarves built their exoskeleton armor out of extravagant materials.

Expensive materials have their reasons. If mechs made of ordinary materials are tasteless, then the exoskeleton armor on dwarves is an "artifact".

The artifact means that it has reached the limit of what the dwarves can do. The extravagant materials, combined with the dwarves' attainments in forging, have reached the limit.

The space oscillated, and several cylindrical metals plowed the ground, directly shattering the space.

The dwarves in this space immediately put the players' resurrection points into their personal space.

Accompanied by the damage of the space, a large area of ​​ether loops lit up on the exoskeleton armor, passed through the space debris, and when the space worm "sewed" the black hole, passed them by in the concept of space, and returned to its original position.

In the bottomless pit, one hand was clinging to the side stone wall, and the dwarves were hanging in the pit one by one.

Adisseo glanced up, and withdrew his hand that was holding on to the stone wall. With a "hum", the armor spread out a pair of lifelike wings from its back, allowing Adisseo to stay in the air.

Below him, all the dwarves hanging on the rock wall withdrew their hands, one after another grew wings from their backs and stopped in the air.

"This attack strength..." Duo Longna muttered in a low voice, "If it were us before, we probably wouldn't even be able to find the corpse now."

The exoskeleton armor wrapped the entire dwarf, and there was a built-in communication device in the head, which was enough for Dorona's whisper to reach the ears of all dwarves.

Adisseo took out the familiar machine from his personal space, glanced at the top of the pit, and activated it.

The small machines covered in blue light moved unsteadily upwards.

Connor: "Even a frontier army can have more than a dozen of this kind of attack equipment, it should have been popularized in the army of the Diman Empire."

"After all, we are talking about the Diman Empire," another dwarf muttered. "It was a colossus that could only be compared to it in the heyday of the Dwarf Kingdom."

"Humans are not a powerful race." The dwarves talked one after another: "But the Diman Empire has grown from the second era to its current scale... It can only be said that the era of powerful individuals dominating the world has passed."

"I thought you should have known this when the Salfa Federation was established," Connor said: "The inventions of the great scientists are based on the fact that ordinary people can also use powerful power, and they even deny the Father God exist."

"Hey, they didn't deny the existence of Father God. They just regarded Father God as a more powerful 'smart creature' rather than as the 'creator' who created the world and all things."

"This statement itself has already denied the Father God." The dwarf said: "The reason why the Father God is called the Father God is because He is the father of all things in the world and the creator of all living things."

Along with their dispute, a loud noise suddenly erupted from above.

The dwarves stopped talking and turned to look up.

The scenery that can be seen in the deep pit is only a narrow and never-changing sky.

The dwarves waited for a few seconds.

Adisseo asked the other dwarves: "Go up?"

"Wait a little longer, I can't see blood."

"When did you get into the habit of doing this?" Dorona muttered, flapping his wings behind him, and disappeared from their sight in an instant.

The dwarf waited silently for a few seconds.

Dorona flew back.

His expression was a little bad: "Let's wait a little longer."

Another dwarf asked, "How's it going up there?"

Dorona's Adam's apple moved slightly, restraining the rising stomach acid and saying: "It hasn't been burned yet."

Another player helped him conclude: "So the corpses are everywhere?"

Dorona glanced at him, and said simply: "There are too many people, and it will take time for the ether to annihilate the corpses."

Adisseo looked up, and silently flapped the wings behind him, and the metal wings behind him took him out of the deep pit.

The traces left by the battlefield appeared in front of him.

At the position where the black bloodstone had completely released its energy just now, the collapsed ground was deeply sunken, and the blue flame formed a circle around the edge of the sunken area, expanding outward and outward at the same time, annihilating all existence it encountered.

The blood soaked into the soil, and disappeared under the blue flame.

The scene after using the black bloodstone semi-finished device is different from the massive attack of the Diman Empire army just now, it doesn't even have room to defeat it.

But its attack intensity is much higher than the massive attack of the Diman Empire just now.

At that moment, the energy released from the inside of the black bloodstone catalyzed the ether, and this energy hit the bottom, annihilating all defenses, and a fatal blow.

The existence of the Black Blood Stone is like the existence of the Land of God's Fall, which is closely related to the fall of the Father God. The curse of the Land of God's Fall and the uncontrollable powerful energy in the Black Blood Stone symbolize the father's love for God. The Wrath of Creation - This is the most widely circulated version on the continent.

Adisseo stopped in the air, watching those blue flames continue to spread after cleaning the battlefield, just like real flames, burning on the ground.

The dwarves flew out of the deep pit one after another, looking at the blue flames below.

"This scene is strangely beautiful."

"I think the king is a little humble. He threw this thing at the capital of the Diman Empire. The problem will be solved?" surrender.

"He actually informed the Diman Empire politely..." The dwarf muttered, "The king's tolerance really makes everyone respectful."

Another dwarf stared at the blue flames that were engulfing everything on the road below, and said casually: "Let the dwarves become part of the kingdom."

Dorona muttered: "Even the most proud dwarves will clearly understand the king's noble morality and... the absolute strength that can destroy dwarves at any time in this scene."

"That's why I said, Adisseo is always right," said another dwarf, "His choices can't be wrong."

Adisseo didn't join their conversation, he watched the expanding blue flame and the reaction of the two other forces that were about to meet it.

The border city of the empire, which had faced the scene of the entire army being annihilated, faced the next more terrifying threat before it had time to generate more emotions.

The energy of the Black Bloodstone is getting out of control.

The uncontrollability of the Black Blood Stone is known throughout the continent, and many races have used it for various purposes in various battlefields.

In the end, the heavy casualties proved its uncontrollability and the end of killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred.

Because of the countless lessons learned from the past, the races on the mainland finally reached an agreement not to use black bloodstones in wars.

It is precisely because of this that the imperial frontier city facing it knows very well what to do to minimize casualties.

The entire city was mobilized urgently, and the vehicles capable of flying were full of people.

Cities cannot avoid destruction, but humans can avoid being swept by blue flames by means of flying tools.

On the opposite side of the border city of the empire, in the territory of the Dongnulie family, the dwarves were also quickly preparing to evacuate. Of course, they did not forget to question Adisseo and the others.

"It is an agreement reached by all races not to use black bloodstones in wars. Are you breaking the agreement to restart Pandora's box?"

Adisseo responded to his questioning with action, and he took the flag from his personal space.

Players who have been waiting for a long time finally saw the option to resurrect from the temporary altar of the Dongnulie family at the resurrection point.

As a result, a large number of players revived from under the flag, and quickly fell downward because the flag was in midair.

Fortunately, they urgently clicked on the [Ether Control] skill and made a small buffer for themselves, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of dying again after resurrection.

The players fell into the blue flames like dumplings.

"Finished?"

"Won?"

"No, I didn't record the most important part. How did you win?"

"This flame looks a little familiar... Oh, I see, it's this stuff again."

"If you want me to say, it can be used long ago, and I don't know what the dwarves are doing... Wait, are those dwarves floating in the sky? What are they wearing?"

"Fuck? Mecha?"

"What mecha? It looks like an exoskeleton. How can a mecha be so close?"

"Fuck? How did the dwarves get this technology point?"

"Let me just say, this is definitely not a Western fantasy world!"

"Is the game planning just another slap in the face?"

"I only have one question, can players equip mechs?"

"Damn it! Watson, you found your blind spot!"

"Oh my god, have dwarves finally embarked on the career path of equipment manufacturers?"

"Don't talk about it, I chose to change my job to casting. From this point of view, it seems that I am a career with a thief and a rich future."

Amidst the discussions among the players, Adisseo announced the mission simply and clearly: "Extinguish the flames and find the Black Bloodstone."

The players accepted this daily task, walked in the blue flames, and extinguished the blue flames at hand.

This daily task is not very difficult. Finding the black bloodstone on the empty ground is simply a problem.

Although the range of the blue flames is a bit larger this time, there are enough players.

So after a few minutes, the lucky one picked up the unremarkable black bloodstone, and the rest of the players successfully extinguished the blue flame and completed the daily task.

The two forces that were about to evacuate the crowd stopped one after another, and cast their sights on the gradually shrinking blue flame until it disappeared completely.

"Did I read it wrong?" The human was surprised: "Has the out-of-control energy of the Black Blood Stone been 'extinguished'?"

The association of the word "extinguish" with the black bloodstone itself is very outrageous. For them, they can't even defend themselves. How can they destroy it?

"That's why we found the black bloodstone in the ruins." The dwarf of the Dongnulie family looked at the distant team and said: "They do have a way to control the energy of the black bloodstone."

"Although this method is very inefficient, the black bloodstone can be used effectively no matter how inefficient it is." Some old dwarves glanced at the young man beside them: "Ariel, go and open the city gate."

"Grandpa? Are we going to surrender?" Allie, who witnessed the annihilation of the human army, had no objection to this point, but was a little surprised that Grandpa figured it out so quickly this time.

"Adisu has proved his ability," the old dwarf coughed and said, "The Diman Empire has lost."

Allie repeated his words in surprise: "The Diman Empire lost?"

"Unless the Diman Empire has a trump card stronger than the Black Bloodstone, this scene will be repeated countless times, and it will only end in the same way." The old man urged him: "Go and open the city gate to welcome our compatriots. "

"Then we..." Allie couldn't believe it: "Can we go back?"

"I think that Emperor Diman doesn't care whether we go or stay." The old dwarf said slowly: "He has more things to worry about next."

The old dwarf sighed deeply: "The luck of Adisseo King is much better than ours."

The closed door of the Dongnulie family was slowly opened, and the unification battle of the dwarf kingdom came to an end here, but the huge wave it stirred up only now began to sweep across the entire continent.

The kingdom located in the land of God's Fall became famous in one battle.

Diman Empire.

Diman Karen III: "Can the human kingdom control the energy of the Black Bloodstone?"

In the room with a large number of people, except for the voice of Diman Karen III, no one spoke.

The projections floating on the table faithfully repeated the scenes they had seen countless times, from the indomitable march of the army of the Diman Empire when they gained the upper hand, to the etheric reaction that directly ended the entire war, and finally to the group of players walking on the path of energy. During the filming, scenes beyond cognition were staged in front of them, constantly raising the level of danger of the enemy.

After a brief silence, Diman Karen III continued: "It's not difficult to understand, after all, the human kingdom is located in the land of God's Fall, it can be immune to the curse of the Land of God's Fall, and it can also be immune to the destructive power caused by the black blood stone." The energy is no surprise, either."

The monk in black robe said, "It looks like God the Father has forgiven them alone."

"Since Father God has fallen, why bother to intervene in the affairs of the mainland again?" Another knight in heavy armor said: "Your Majesty, this is not just a problem we have to face, it is a problem that all existence on the entire continent has to face problem, a menacing new civilization that poses a huge threat."

"I heard that there are only 2000 people in this kingdom? Your Majesty, please believe in your loyal subjects, and are willing to wash away this shame for you at all costs."

"Your Majesty, the unification of the dwarf kingdom will only make it even more powerful. It is the best time to kill this human kingdom before it continues to conquer the continent relying on the invincibility of the Black Bloodstone."

Diman Karen III stared at the projection in silence, letting the other people discuss with excitement without making any statement.

From the current point of view, the demon's previous announcement that the dwarven army would march outside the border of the Diman Empire was not only not provocative, but even polite.

Restraint before having absolute strength is called politeness.

Restraint without strength is called incompetence.

"They took the entire Dongnulie family?" Diman Karen III didn't care too much about this dwarf tribe obtained from the layout of the Diman Empire a long time ago.

He interrupted the increasingly intense atmosphere: "Instead of repeating the attack that fell on the imperial army on the imperial city, and pursuing the victory?"

The intense atmosphere stagnates.

During the heated debate just now, the noble who had always remained silent took over the conversation.

"Yes, the other party was very restrained and did not have further conflicts with the empire. I saw the goodwill of the other party. Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this, but Your Majesty, I don't think this contact war is a shame."

The most emotional young knight immediately objected to his statement: "Are you crazy? Do you know how many bloody deaths you have erased in an understatement? A whole border guard team has been completely wiped out, including more than 4000 The lives of soldiers, do you see goodwill from them? Those soldiers from the civilian class really don’t count as a life in the eyes of you nobles, do they?”

"When you say this, Viscount John, please don't forget that you are also a nobleman." The young nobleman glanced at the other party, with a calm and gorgeous tone: "Please use it a little bit. You have nothing but anger. Brain of something else, wondering if it's worth giving more than 4000 lives..."

"Of course it's worth it." The knight resolutely said: "Although we have paid more deaths for this, we will eventually win victory, glory and our dignity. Does the honorable Marquis intend to surrender without a fight, for the sake of more people? Can live and give up your glory?"

"That's not your style. When did the lives of those civilians become so important in the eyes of the respected Marquis?"

Eugene deepened his smile and said meanly: "With all due respect, your brain seems unable to understand the meaning of this word accurately. The premise of surrender without a fight is that the Kingdom has launched a war against the Empire."

"On the premise that the Kingdom restrains its own actions and avoids intensifying conflicts, you, who brazenly launched a war with the slogan of washing away shame, are the one who has the least regard for the lives of civilians."

After Eugene taunted John, he quickly returned to the topic: "Obviously, no matter what the reason, the king who can control the Black Bloodstone did not intend to start a war for no reason."

"For the soldiers who died on the battlefield, I am as sad and angry as everyone else about their deaths." Eugene said so with an impeccable expression, without any superfluous emotions: "But we have to admit that being angry Dominating your emotions and then acting impulsively will only make the situation out of control."

Eugene: "Calm down and think rationally about how to deal with unexpected powerful enemies is what we should do now."

John let out a "huh": "Then, how about the Earl, who is thinking rationally, tell us, how are you going to deal with that human kingdom? In order to defeat the unexpectedly powerful enemy at the minimum cost?"

Eugene pointed to the projection that was still repeating: "The answer is obvious, if you carefully watch the whole process of this contact war."

"When the energy of the Black Bloodstone was out of control, it was not the dwarves who were far away from the energy of the Black Bloodstone that stopped it, but..." Eugene nodded slightly at Diman Karen III: "The group of undead that His Majesty has come into contact with."

"Player." John restrained his tit-for-tat tone, and became serious for a second. He stared at the group of ethers on the projection and said: "According to Hunting Mountain, this is a new race."

Eugene added: "A new race beyond imagination, judging from their previous performance, they are amoral, greedy, stupid, shameless, accustomed to betrayal, have no loyalty to the race, and have no respect for the king."

"Since the human kingdom can accept them, so can the Diman Empire. We can give chips that the king can't give."

Diman Karen III intervened in the dialogue: "If it was that simple, they wouldn't have refused to accept my gift before. Underestimating the human king is the root cause of most of the failures. Since he doesn't mind us Having contact with the players is enough to prove that he has never worried about the betrayal of the players."

John continued: "Either the players will never betray the kingdom, or he has some sort of trump card to ensure that the players can't betray the kingdom... It's not safe to just use the players as a breakthrough to change the situation."

Diman Karen III's eyes rested on the dwarves in the projection: "Since Adisseo took away the Dongnulie family, there should be no suspense about the unification of the dwarf kingdom..." He said: "The empire will send The embassy attends the grand ceremony of the unification of the dwarf kingdom."

Everyone present, whether they were nobles, knights, or the emerging classes who had never spoken, stood up in unison and said, "I am willing to share the worries of the empire."

"Send a mission to visit the Safa Federation..."

Diman Karen III said unhurriedly: "In any case, they were also members of the empire, and they have the right to know the situation."

"When visiting the Salfa Federation, let's take a look at how the group of barbarians are doing now?" Diman Karen III: "See if that wolf cub is dead, if he is not dead..."

"Those bastards may finally appear on the world stage."

Those bastards are not an insulting term—at least when it is used to describe orcs, it is not an insulting term, but an objective description.
