1122: Chapter 297: Forced Confession_3 1122: Chapter 297: Forced Confession_3 The aroma of wine wafted through the air was simply too tempting.
Dwarfs were not a race known for their brewing skills, but their desire to possess fine wines was stronger than that of any other race combined.
These Desert Dwarfs tied to the date palm trees had their nostrils violently twitching, their Adam’s apples bobbing up and down in futile swallows, eyes glued to the oak wine barrel.
Their gazes were so intense, they could sha the hungriest of hyenas; if looks could devour, not a woodchip of that barrel would be left.
Upon hearing the Beamon say so, most of the Desert Dwarfs’ eyes began to waver.
“Listen, this isn’t about betraying military secrets, but rather, the secrets have already been exposed!
What you need now is to trade for a dignified death, like a true warrior!
If I were you, I would definitely beco a ghost content with a full belly,” continued Liu Shock in his agitation.
An inner struggle began to erge in the eyes of the Desert Dwarfs.
“I almost forgot to tell you, I didn’t say this barrel of wine was for all of you…” Liu Shock smiled wickedly like a devil: “…I will only reward four of you with it.
As for the others…
heh heh…
you know what I an, right?
Starting the countdown now—whoever grabs one of the first four places, becos a ghost content with a full belly.
The rest, just watch this barrel as you die of thirst!”
As it turned out, the either-or principle was very effective in pushing people beyond their moral limits when competition suddenly arose within a region; no one could withstand the test.
“I’ll tell!” at least a dozen Desert Dwarfs roared: “Give the wine!
I’ll tell!”
“Wow, so many people?” Liu Shock acted like a subpar actor, feigning intense surprise, pretentiously pondering, “In that case, I’ll ask a question—whoever answers it, gets to drink a large cup of wine.
Rember, it’s about who answers first!”
“Are you ready?” Liu Shock sniffed, smilingly fixing his gaze on the bunch of Desert Dwarfs: “My first question is, I hear you’re from the Sandboat Unit, what exactly is the Sandboat Unit?
What is your force structure?
How are your tasks arranged?
And what’s with that Giant Spiral Shell?”
“I’ll tell—I’ll tell—” A Desert Dwarf with a scar across his face howled with the speed of a wolf biting a tail: “Our Flying Cal Army’s Sandboat Unit specializes in underground sneak attacks, destroying the enemy’s supply lines!
Our force consists of just four hundred people!
This ti we ca to ambush you, in conjunction with Tallbruh Yabushan, whom you defeated near the Transverse Mountain Range; he was responsible for drawing your main forces’ attention, while we were in charge of the stealth assault on your supply base!
The Giant Spiral Shell is an ancient shell that we Dwarfs discovered while mining underground.
According to our handso commandant, the Desert used to be an ocean long ago, and this kind of Giant Spiral Shell might have been a formidable Magical Beast from the sea in ancient tis!”
“Reward with wine!” Liu Shock clapped his hands joyfully: “That’s a man for you!”
After drinking the cup of wine fed to him, the Dwarf licked his lips desperately, muttering like a madman, “So delicious…
So delicious…
Another cup please…
I beg you…
I’ll tell you anything…”
“Next question, how is the Giant Spiral Shell transford into a Sandboat?
Why can it travel underground?
Who invented it?
How does it operate?” Liu Shock continued to ask, “Also, how do you maintain correct orientation underground?”
Getting started is always the hardest part, but once the floodgates were open, they couldn’t be closed again.
The scard-faced Desert Dwarf rushed to answer once more: “I’ll tell—I’ll tell—The Sandboat was invented by our handso commandant!
The Giant Spiral Shell, weathered by ti, no longer contains any flesh inside, only an empty shell.
Its ‘Crystal Heart’ is embedded at the tip of the spiral; just by having an Imam channel a bit of mana into it, it can begin moving.
The rotation of the tip propels it forward.
Controlling direction is just a matter of the Imam tracing the route on that ‘Crystal Heart’ with his finger!
We Desert Dwarfs are like living underground maps, as long as we scout the orientation in advance, the Sandboat’s deviation from its target won’t exceed fifty yards.
If we really need to, we can also bore to the surface for correction; however, the Sandboat moves with great difficulty in soil, only through sand can it maintain a traveling speed of fifty to sixty miles per day.”
“Crystal Heart?
That should refer to a Magic Crystal, right?
Handso commandant?
That term is quite nauseating.” Liu Shock maliciously said: “Your handso commandant is certainly smart, but how did he co up with such a disgusting na?”
“You’ll know how impressive he is when you et our handso commandant,” the inebriated Dwarf sneered, his Dwarf pride returning to his face.
“Little Dwarf, what’s there for you to be so proud of?” Liu Shock sneered: “No matter how impressive your handso commandant is, he can’t save you now.
What use is destroying this freshwater here?
There’s a small oasis just a couple hundred miles away, and they also have water.”
“Before we took action, Hashmi Yabushan had already led the Vulture Knights to poison the water sources in nearby oases.” The Dwarf boasted of his achievents as if flaunting them: “I’d really like to see how your army of tens of thousands find water to drink!”
“You don’t need to worry about that; we definitely won’t die of thirst!” Liu Shock squinted, barely containing his anger, and continued to ask: “Now tell about that Undead Mage who ca with you today, when did that fellow join your army?
He is one of us Beamon, did you know that?”
