Evolving Silver Dragon

Chapter 191: 189 The signal is not very good

Translator: 549690339

By the second day.

Just as Dain and Ebik worried, the Storm Legion launched another attack.

The attack became more fierce, and the number of troops involved increased.

Perhaps something was said by the two Storm Giants last night, and the originally slack Mountain Dwarves immediately gained morale, rushing to the front lines today.

Several times, the front-line defenses of the Black Iron Dwarves were on the verge of being breached.

Fortunately, the battle was ultimately over without any casualties, as the fearless elite warriors of the Black Iron Dwarves held their ground, at the cost of hundreds of their lives and an equal or even greater number of injuries.

More importantly, the arrows with special explosive arrowheads had been used up, and the ammunition for the catapults had been replaced with ordinary stones by this afternoon.

The Black Iron Cannon under development was highly unstable and hard to rely on.

Moreover, it was certain that tomorrow’s battle would be even more intense, as the Black Iron Dwarf scouts riding griffins reported continuous reinforcements coming from the enemy.

Like Nolan Forest, most of the interior of the Sky Mountain Range was a paradise for monsters, except for the outer territories belonging to the dwarves and Caran.

Numbers meant little to most monsters.

Today, most of the weak monsters on the other side were used as cannon fodder, and the giants were rarely seen in the front row.

It seemed that it was really unbearable…

Dain and Ebik sat in the Red Copper Castle, their faces somber, as they knew all too well the crisis the Black Iron Dwarves were facing.

This time it was still Dain who broke the silence, suggesting, “Shall we seek help from Caran?”

Caran Kingdom was the only human country in the Sky Mountain Range, bordering the territories of both the Black Iron Dwarves and the Red Copper Dwarves.

In other directions, their territories faced the sea, and their merchants usually traded through Harvest Bay with the Eastern Empire across the coast. By reselling the products of the dwarves, this mountainous, infertile human country managed to make a fortune.

At the same time, they were the nominal allies of the Black Iron Dwarves.

The proposal sounded promising, but Ebik still shook his head: “I don’t think we should count on them. Those arrogant Caran nobles only know how to do business and exploit their own subjects.

Furthermore, their army consists mostly of defensive heavy shield soldiers and longbowmen, and there are few horses in the whole country.

Even if they agree to help us, by the time their army arrives, the Fire Forge

Furnace would have already been taken by the Mountain Dwarves.”

Dain had no objections to this, for he had visited Caran himself and knew that it was all true.

In fact, Ebik had understated things; the smell of the streets in Caran Royal City still haunted Dain.

So, thinking from a different angle.

“If our entire people were to retreat to Caran…”

Before Dain could finish his sentence, he stopped himself.

Not to mention whether Caran would be willing to give a portion of their land to the Black Iron Dwarves, would they be willing to give up the mines they had guarded for generations?

If they were forced to live the agricultural life like humans, they might as well die fighting on the battlefield.

Since this path was not viable, there were only two options left: either to abandon Red Copper Castle and the Fire Forge Furnace, perhaps being attacked by the enemy again in the future unless they handed over the Fire Forging Skill.

But this would mean that all the efforts of the Black Iron Dwarves so far would have been in vain, and they naturally didn’t want to do that.

The other option was to seek help from the Land of the Soaring Dragon, but that might lead the Black Iron Dwarves to another abyss, becoming a subject of a giant dragon.

They might even be handing the rope that restrained their freedom directly to Otto.

If it was possible, they would prefer not to choose either of these options, but in reality, they had no other choice.

“Contact Otto…”

As the sky darkened, Ebik spoke weakly: “I hope he will give the Black Iron Dwarves a dignified position, after all, our recent interactions with him have been pleasant, and we haven’t offended him.”

“If only we had a legendary powerhouse among us, how great would that be…”

Dain sighed, then used the Communication Scale provided by Otto in Ebik’s helpless presence.

Before long, Otto’s voice appeared in his ear.

“Oh, is that Dain? When do you plan to visit the Land of the Soaring Dragon next time?”

Upon hearing Otto’s voice, Dain’s face instantly darkened.

He had spoken nicely when leaving the Land of the Soaring Dragon before, but now it seemed from his tone that he was completely unaware of the situation with the Black Iron Dwarves.

But the more he acted like this, the more Dain was convinced that Lande must have known what was going on around Red Copper Castle.

In the reports of the Black Iron Dwarf scouts, they had spotted Lizardmen and Hawkmen riding Giant Eagles in the vicinity more than once.

Dain clenched his teeth: “My friend, the Black Iron Dwarves have run into some trouble…”

But before he could finish his sentence, Otto on the other side spoke loudly with a puzzled tone: “Huh? Is something wrong with the thing? Hey, hey! Is that Dain? I can’t hear you clearly, hey, hey…”

Soon, Dain could no longer hear Otto’s voice clearly.

At first, he thought there might have been some problem with the magic item.

But the Black Iron Dwarves, in addition to forging equipment and weapons of war, also had some knowledge of magic items.

Dain and Ebik examined the item for a long time and finally confirmed that there was no issue with the magic item.

Thus, it became clear that Otto was intentionally avoiding the subject. Dain and Ebik glanced at each other, then used the Communication Scale again.

This time, the call simply didn’t go through at all.

At this point, Dain, as a Black Iron Dwarf, couldn’t help but roar, “He is really going too far! Does he really think he can take advantage of us?”

“In fact, that’s exactly the case…”

As the King of Black Iron, Ebik was much calmer than Dain.

Subsequently, under Ebik’s pacification, Dain suppressed his inner rage, raised his trembling hands, and used the Communication Scale once more.

“Hey, hey… oh dear, the signal is still not good!”

This time, Otto’s voice came through at last.

But it seemed that he still wanted to dismiss the issue in the same way, so Dain had no choice but to interject: “Honorable Silver Dragon Lord, the Black Iron Dwarves are willing to submit to you, just seeking your help to defend the Black Iron Dwarves’ territory and property!”
