"Mr. Brave!"
The dwarf commander was deeply moved. He truly was a hero of humanity, a moral exemplar.
It's unbelievable that someone would be willing to fight a monster like the Rock King for someone they just met today.
Indeed, human heroes are extraordinary.
Some history books record stories about heroes breaking into other people's homes and smashing bottles and jars, but these are definitely unofficial historical accounts and slanders against heroes.
"Thank you so much. Here's a map. We'll meet here once we've successfully retreated."
When the time comes, just tell us what you want, and we dwarves will make whatever equipment you like.
Please be aware of your own capabilities and make sure you return unharmed!
"Don't worry, we'll win."
Having satisfied his desire to fight the Mountain Giant and also gaining the dwarf's promise, El changed direction and moved closer to the Rock King.
"Boom... Boom... Boom..."
Its enormous body can cause minor earthquakes simply by walking.
The mountain giant Lawrence slowly approached the dwarf's position not far away.
"Yes, that's it. Keep this up and let him flee from my sight once again."
In your minds, this is my all-out effort, so that I can continuously deplete your firepower, reduce your troop strength, and crush your morale.
Wait a little longer. In a while, the day will come when I use all my strength to take you down…
This is the tactic of the Mountain Giant Lawrence. As a monster that has lived for a long time, it is similar to Perid in that it prefers a steady approach.
First, conceal some of your own information, then use a bleeding tactic on the dwarves, like boiling a frog in water, to avoid a one-shot victory that would result in the enemy suffering a crushing defeat.
Moreover, with each advancement, Lawrence would use his magic to resonate with the earth.
The battlefield may look the same as before, but in reality, many of the places the dwarves have reclaimed are now tainted with Lawrence's earth elemental magic.
If it needs to consume a large amount of energy, this mountain giant could theoretically turn the entire battlefield into a hell of rocks.
"This is true power; only the absolute strength of the individual is everything!"
Perid, my old friend, your undead army is still too impure.
"If you lose your army, or if they are unable to provide reinforcements in time, how much strength will you have left?"
While inflating its own power in its heart, it didn't forget to take a jab at its own dead colleagues.
It had received the news a few days earlier, when El was on his way: the hero had appeared, the Death Soul King and the Great Lich Perid had died in battle, and then the hero had left and disappeared.
The news came from a few surviving high-level monsters. These lucky few were far from the main camp and were therefore unaffected. However, they also did not know how Perid died.
"Heh, how did he die? That hero must have used a trick to behead Perid."
This trick always works against that guy; its skeleton is still a bit too fragile.
But I'm different. Let the hero come at me.
I am the Rock King, the Mountain Giant! Whether it's one-on-one or a group battle, I'm not afraid!
Lacking information and overconfident in his own strength, Lawrence completely disregarded El, the hero.
Brave one? I'll make sure you suffer a crushing defeat!
