So, is the relationship between the Mountain Dwarves and these giants a partnership or a subordinate one…
This is important, but it’s difficult for Otto to tell from his current height.
If he were to get lower, there’s a risk of being detected.
Although he hasn’t considered these characters to be much of a threat, they also pose no risk to Otto.
But this ti, he ca secretly and didn’t want to reveal his whereabouts too early.
Konoheim, flying beside him, frowned in hesitation and said, “Those two gray-bearded giants down there look a bit familiar…”
He’s probably referring to the two Storm Giants sitting in the lead positions, like leaders.
After a while, Konoheim continued, “I rember now, aren’t they the followers of that Storm Titan from before…
“Storm Titan?”
Otto was stunned for a mont, but quickly reacted.
Konoheim had told him about this a long ti ago.
He said that his adopted daughter, Welin, had gone to Nolan Forest to develop, only to find a powerful Storm Titan Lord there.
In order to prevent Furious Thunder Welin from encountering any accidents, this good father directly scared the poor Storm Titan into running off to the Sulfur Mountains overnight.
Wait a minute…
Didn’t Otto suddenly realize that the Mountain Dwarves’ territory was very close to the interior of the Sulfur Mountains?
Well, at this ti, he felt he might have figured out what was going on.
The Mountain Dwarves couldn’t resist the Storm Titan, so if they didn’t want to end up like the Red Copper Dwarves, they’d have to betray their freedom and join the Storm Titan.
It turns out that these thick-browed and big-eyed guys had betrayed the revolution too!
Having understood enough, Otto and Konoheim pulled back to a distance where they were less likely to be detected.
Since they were already here, they couldn’t just take a quick look and leave.
At least they had to see the official battle scene to justify their presence.
The Black Iron Dwarves were clearly experts in large-scale frontal warfare.
Unlike their two cousins, these dark-skinned, dark-bearded little people were skilled in forging weapons and armor, but they were even better at making war machines.
Things like the Black Iron Ballista and Black Iron Cannon had been rolled out from the Red Copper Castle and lined up.
Not only that, but many catapults were also arranged in the rear.
These catapults were far superior to those crude products used by the Thunder Legion in terms of forging quality, throwing distance, and accuracy.
Most importantly, the Black Iron Dwarves had long since transported a large amount of Green Burst explosives back from the Sulfur Mountains.
Even now, these flammable and explosive hazards were still being supplied by the Goblins.
They put these dangerous goods into iron balls, used as ammunition for catapults, and they were the sa products used by the Lizardman Scouts.
With the help of these war machines, the combat power of the Black Iron Dwarves on the frontal battlefield was much more terrifying.
Moreover, after inheriting the legacy of the Red Copper Dwarves, their weapons and equipnt had been upgraded.
Although only the core elite Black Iron Dwarf warriors enjoyed this treatnt, their overall strength had risen significantly.
After learning of the Mountain Dwarves’ attack on Red Copper Castle, the Black
Iron Dwarves did not imdiately seek aid from the Land of the Soaring Dragon, perhaps due to the confidence generated by the aforentioned reasons.
Having dispelled the Phantom Insubstantiality, Otto found an inconspicuous hilltop to hide and waited until dawn.
As the sun rose, the army of Mountain Dwarves and monsters began to move.”
Looking at the dense array of monsters below, Otto pondered what the result would be if he and the Soaring Dragon Legion were to fight them.”
The situation didn’t seem optimistic.
This combined army of Mountain Dwarves and monsters should be considered followers of the Storm Titan, perhaps they could also be called the Storm Legion.”
Compared to the Thunder Legion that had already been defeated by Otto, the number of monsters in the advancing Storm Legion was far greater.”
And the Soaring Dragon Legion, due to the severe losses in the war with the Thunder Legion, is now recovering its strength as quickly as possible.”
anwhile, look at the Storm Legion’s side.”
Whether it’s the elite Mountain Dwarf warriors, Stone Giants, or Trolls, they’re all powerful troops.”
The battle was about to begin, and Konoheim, interested, sat cross-legged beside Otto, watching the situation below.”
The mbers of the Storm Legion mostly seed to lack discipline, and with one command from the leading two Storm Giants, they rushed forward like a swarm.
Only the elite Mountain Dwarf warriors knew how to assemble together, forming a neat phalanx that charged at a much slower speed than the other monsters.”
It seed they were hiding so careful tactics.”
Soon, the counterattack from the Black Iron Dwarves began.”
The first to be deployed were the finely forged catapults, and the strong Black
Iron Dwarves loaded the specially-made iron balls.”
One after another, these specialized iron balls were launched high into the sky.
The range of the Black Iron Dwarves’ catapults was at least five tis that of ordinary catapults.”
A Stone Giant leading the charge disdainfully watched the falling iron balls, stretching out its arm—which was almost like stone—intending to catch the falling iron ball.”
It succeeded in doing so, but what it didn’t understand was that there was a huge difference between these iron balls and the stone bullets used by ordinary catapults.”
Just as it felt the strange sensation of the iron ball in its hand, there was a loud explosion, and the iron ball in its grip exploded.”
Even with the strength and hardness of a Stone Giant’s body, Green Burst explosives were originally used for splitting mountains and rocks.”
Almost instantly, the poor creature was blown to pieces.”
Not only that, but the iron fragnts from the ball’s outer shell and the pieces of the Stone Giant’s body flew rapidly around, taking with them so of the monsters with weaker defenses.
The Black Iron Dwarves had deployed more than a dozen catapults behind their lines, and under their continuous bombardnt, the charging Storm Legion was thrown into chaos.”
But after all, only a small part was attacked, and the remaining mbers still crazily charged toward the Red Copper Castle.”
When they ca within the attack range of the Black Iron Ballistae, the Black Iron Ballistae stationed in the middle of the Black Iron Dwarves’ line began to unleash a rapid barrage of firepower.”
Explosive-tipped bolts detonated within the ranks of the Storm Legion, suppressing the seemingly crazed Storm Legion almost instantly with their superior numbers and rapid fire..”
