As night fell, a group of short but very strong men and women gathered around a bonfire in the center, roasting a huge cow. They sang and danced, creating a lively atmosphere.
Bonfire parties are one of the most important customs of the dwarves, and they are held every so often.
The evening party was also a time for young men and women of the dwarf tribe to seek mates.
Although these dwarves wandering in the Chaotic Territory were far removed from their own people, they never forgot this custom.
The person in charge of hosting the party was the elder of this dwarf tribe, an old dwarf with a white beard and a still robust physique.
Holding a cane, he leaped onto the earthen platform in a few steps, his voice strong and clear, as he recounted to his people the hardships of establishing the dwarf tribe.
Back then, the dwarves were bullied in the Chaotic Territory because they had no backing. Later, some powerful dwarves gathered together and established the dwarf tribe we know today, bringing together most of the dwarves from the Chaotic Territory and uniting them as one.
It was for both self-preservation and the plunder of resources.
Although the resources of Chaotic Territory cannot compare with those of the central continent, it is still a first-rate and abundant region.
The elder's vivid description made it seem as if these young dwarves were transported back to the early days of the dwarf tribe, fighting alongside them against the invading enemies.
The young dwarfs drank a bowl of chicken soup, and they were all full of fighting spirit and enthusiasm.
The elder looked at everyone's performance with satisfaction and strode down from the earthen platform.
This is a recurring activity at every gala, designed to inspire the young dwarves and ensure the next generation will excel.
The elder stepped down from the earthen platform. Once he was a distance away, his earlier vigorous demeanor vanished, replaced by him clutching his waist and grimacing.
Someone immediately helped him up, their face full of worry: "Elder, are you alright?"
"fine!"
The elder waved his hand, his tone somewhat melancholy: "I'm getting old. I'm not the same person I used to be who dared to chase and slash even dragons!"
The people around were speechless. "You're seven or eight hundred years old, and you're still thinking about the old days!"
"Elder!"
A voice came from afar, and the First Elder immediately adopted a strong and stern demeanor, his face stern, and said, "What are you shouting for? Speak if you have something to say!"
Hearing the commotion, the man immediately went to the Grand Elder, his expression respectful: "Grand Elder, a dwarf has come from outside and wants to join us!"
The words spoken by this person made the Grand Elder's eyes light up.
The dwarf tribe has been established for hundreds of years, and dwarves used to frequently join, but this has not happened in recent decades.
After all, the number of dwarves mingling in the Chaotic Territory is really not that many. The dwarf tribe has developed for hundreds of years and has already taken in all the dwarves that it can. The addition of new members is a novelty.
This is why this person couldn't wait to report it after finding out.
"Let's go take a look!"
The dwarf elder was preparing to go and see, hoping that the bizarre incident from a hundred years ago wouldn't happen again.
A short human managed to sneak in.
That happened over a hundred years ago. A human who was naturally short impersonated a dwarf, infiltrated a dwarf tribe, and stole a lot of resources for free.
As a result, due to the rapid increase in strength, the fighting spirit stimulated the secondary growth of his bones.
The human swelled to nearly two meters tall, his identity was exposed, and he was hunted down by the entire dwarf tribe and beaten to death.
Although they vented their anger, they also lost face completely, and the resources they had used up could never be recovered.
The dwarf elder certainly didn't want that kind of blunder to happen again.
They hadn't gone far. Although the dwarf tribe's territory was large, their core area of activity wasn't that extensive. Instead, they truly lived together like a tribe.
Only a small number of dwarves were sent out to serve as lords of various cities, managing vast territories.
The core of the dwarf tribe is still this small core area, where 80% of the dwarves live.
Chris looked at his strange clothes and his shrunken figure, but he remained expressionless, having already anticipated this.
He had seen this kind of tactic before!
But what is this dragon planning to do by infiltrating the dwarf race?
A strange feeling stirred within Chris. He remembered that those who had been targeted by that dragon in the past had never had a good ending.
His gaze involuntarily swept over his side. Su Qing shrunk to half a meter tall, the spikes on his body disappeared, and his two dragon horns were concealed. He turned into a lizard covered with black scales, with a thin red ribbon around his neck embroidered with a name: Hughes!
This is the name of the person Chris is going to impersonate.
Su Qing will be playing the pet of this guy named Hughes.
Su Qing is ruthless to Chris, but she's even more ruthless to herself!
In reality, it wouldn't have been so complicated. Simply killing a few dwarves and framing them would have easily sparked a war.
But if he did that, Su Qing felt that he might be hunted down and killed by the dwarves once the information was exposed.
The dwarves are not just the dwarf tribe in front of us; they are a powerful race with a king, and because they are few in number, they are very united.
Moreover, doing so would make it very difficult to obtain the dwarf tribe's treasure.
Of course, this point about Su Qing is not very important.
Therefore, Su Qing chose a more troublesome method: infiltrated the dwarf tribe, and two days later, disappeared with a batch of treasure.
They then framed the three-nation alliance for the incident, which angered the dwarf tribe.
There are no problems with the plan itself or its implementation.
