The 7th Witch

On Sunday, July 7th, 777, in the world of Himlear, a rural noble family welcomed their seventh child—a seemingly ordinary girl who, from birth, appeared to have an indissoluble bond with the numb...

Chapter 423: Encounter at the Somodo Mountains

Eugene said dissatisfiedly:

"Nove, I've told you countless times that we are regular soldiers, not thieves. Don't use those thief-like terms. Besides, you, an idiot, will definitely die before the two of us."

"What did you say?!"

As a result, Eugene and Aznov started arguing again.

Seeing the two quarreling, Charkin gloated again and pulled Hulim aside.

"Okay, forget about them. Just ask me if you have anything."

Hulim thought for a moment and said:

"I do have something I'm curious about."

"Why are you here, Tsarkin?"

"Well, you're talking about this."

Tsarkin thought for a moment and replied,

"To put it simply, I used to be a member of the Lidoar Kingdom Army, but later resigned to focus on forging. Now that the war is about to begin, people like me are the first to be called up by the coalition forces. Nof over there was also called back like me. In terms of time, it was probably not long after you graduated."

"I see. I now roughly understand why you're here. Now, could you tell me about the Somodo Mountains? If so, I'd like to resolve it quickly."

"Somodo Mountains?"

The two people who were fighting on the side stopped.

"Wait, little girl..."

Eugene said with some surprise,

"You don't want to solve it alone, do you?"

"Well, although I really want to do that, it also requires those people in Guros to act according to my ideas. To achieve this, I still need your help."

Upon hearing this, Chalkin and the other two couldn't help but exchange glances with each other.

"All right."

Eugene said seriously,

"Tell us what you think, and we will cooperate with you."

... ...

Deep in the Somodo Mountains.

A force of Guros is stationed here.

Tanoklian, the deputy leader of the Great Demon Mercenary Group, was standing on the edge of a cliff, looking out over the mountains.

A member of the mercenary group came up behind him and reported:

"Deputy Captain, the dwarves are taking action again."

"..." Tanoklian said calmly without even turning his head, "Are you taking action again?"

“How many people did they send out this time?”

"Reporting to the deputy commander, their entire army has been dispatched."

"oh?"

Tanoklian was a little surprised and thought for a moment.

“Are they all out?”

"Is he anxious, or has he found a way..."

Seeing that Tanoklian did not respond for a long time, the team member behind him asked cautiously:

"Um... Vice Captain, should we take action?"

"Of course we have to take action."

Tanoklian nodded.

"No matter what these dwarves are planning, our mission is to drag them here, notify them, and activate all ambushes."

"yes!"

The group member responded and left immediately.

Not long after.

A shadow quickly enlarged where Tanoklian stood.

Boom!

A dull sound was heard behind him.

A pitch-black demonic dragon descended behind him.

"Deputy Captain, I heard those dwarves are on the move again? Seriously, they keep trying even though they know it's useless. Can't they just give me a break?"

Tanoklian turned around and looked expressionlessly at Wind General Narciss who had appeared with the Flame Dragon, and said:

"Narciss, just like before, you and the Demon Flame Dragon will go together to harass those guys. We don't have to actually fight, just prevent them from advancing smoothly."

"Of course that's no problem," Narcissus replied nonchalantly, "But, they're sending all three of them this time, right? The Flame Dragon and I can only attract two at most."

"Don't worry," Tanoklian said calmly, "I will take action this time too."

... ...

On the steep mountain road of the Somodo Mountains.

The dwarf army is marching continuously.

"Charkin, do you think that little girl can really catch all those guys in one fell swoop?"

Eugene asked, somewhat worriedly.

"Hmph."

Tsarkin glanced at Eugene and said:

"Why, do you doubt Hulim's strength?"

"No," Eugene shook his head, "that's not what I'm worried about."

"What I'm worried about is that the people Gross arranged here are all very fast. If they're determined to escape, we might not be able to catch them."

Upon hearing this, Charkin frowned.

Indeed, the most annoying thing about Guros's arrangement in the Somodo Mountains is that those leaders are all known for their speed, and they can completely ignore them and directly attack the dwarf army behind them.

Although Hulim has come to support us now, if we fail to eliminate all those commanders at once, those who escape will definitely ask for help from the main force of Ravenrem.

You should know that the reason why Guros only deployed a small number of troops on this side of the mountains is because they focused their main energy on attacking Ilz, and the mountains only need a number of troops that can stop the dwarves' advance.

But once this side cannot be stopped, it becomes inevitable that the main force will send reinforcements.

Given the vastness of the Somodo Mountains, it would take a considerable amount of time for their dwarf army to completely pass through the entire mountain range, and this period of time was more than enough for Guros's reinforcements to arrive.
