Looking down from the air at the distant northern fortress, the mountain range beyond the dense forest appeared even more remote than Su Yue had imagined.
"Snow-capped mountains?"
Su Yue looked somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that there was a range of snow-capped mountains behind the dwarven northern fortress.
However, the dwarves' northern fortress seems to be a bridgehead to the snowy mountains.
The scene above was filled with a vast array of machinery and equipment, with dwarven miners using picks to cut open-pit mines, loading them onto trucks for transport, and enormous jet-powered machines. It lacked any sense of technology or logic reminiscent of my previous life, instead resembling a steampunk aesthetic.
"Holy crap, a railway?"
Su Yue stared in surprise at the back of the northern fortress in the distance.
This feeling, after the battle was over.
He discovered that there was a continuous railway behind the northern fortress of the dwarven empire.
He immediately frowned.
"With railways, transporting troops would mean their manpower would be endless... Moreover, building railways and all sorts of steam-powered machines on a mountain would require extremely formidable engineering and construction skills..."
"Is this the true foundation of a major NPC power?"
Su Yue thought to himself that he should go back and talk to the Earl of Barthold, a descendant of Henry VII.
At that moment, the dwarf army underground also discovered Su Yue.
They wounded a level 5 griffin.
This left Su Yue's giant griffin on the verge of death, although it also led to the griffin beneath him being promoted to a 7th-tier creature—a blessing in disguise. However, Su Yue was still extremely dissatisfied with these dwarves and wanted to get back at them.
Lord's Log: "You have achieved a glorious victory, defeating over 1600 dwarf player troops. Due to diplomatic reasons, 720 player troops have surrendered to you. Do you accept their surrender?"
"Acceptance".
Su Yue's troops are approaching 3,200 men!
Such numbers.
Although they were all ragtag troops without proper uniforms, Su Yue remained completely calm.
The dwarf in the distance gazed at the pitch-black mutated griffin in the sky.
His expression was one of utter astonishment.
What is that?
"A black griffin, a large griffin with scales, it seems even more majestic than a royal griffin?"
The underground crossbowmen and dwarven musketeers neatly aimed their cannons at Su Yue's position.
Abbott Bodu clearly saw the handsome, domineering, and majestic lord standing on the griffin.
"The White Horse Lord? It's him?"
"He's riding a griffin all alone? Isn't he afraid of being killed?"
He gritted his teeth, remembering the peace treaty he had just sent, and abandoned the idea of attacking Suyue.
But this idea is extremely tempting.
It looks just like a cherry that's ripe to its fullest extent and is about to fall from the tree...
But once an attack occurs...
The war continues? Wouldn't that betray their original intention of defending the Northern Fortress? In addition, the deployed Chosen Ones claim that Su Yue may have ninth-order archangels under his command, and that the Papacy's personnel have already arrived in Su Yue's territory.
The Holy Age Brotherhood even allowed the dwarves to communicate privately, indicating a complex situation that was far more than just simple fighting and killing.
"Dwarves below, are you retreating?"
The griffins flying overhead suddenly stopped in mid-air, their wings flapping.
The majestic and holy Divine Lord bowed his head, looking down at them.
Abbott Bodu, riding a snow wolf and wielding a long, single-handed hammer, said, "I hope we can cease hostilities to prevent the forest elf forces on the right from taking advantage of the conflict between the human and dwarven empires."
"Oh? Weren't you the ones who started the trouble? Why are you the ones who came, and why are you the ones who are leaving?"
Su Yue asked with a smile.
He had always maintained a defensive posture, avoiding any provocation. However, the tallest tree in the forest catches the most wind; his Canaanite territory had grown too rapidly, clearly becoming a major threat to the surrounding lords. Moreover, his blitzkrieg and raids were too swift, given the strength of his third-tier council, bolstered by Europa's generals.
Su Yue was looking forward to his strength increasing as he advanced to the new level formed by the Fourth Order Council.
What's going on with the base of Town Hall 4?
He seemed to have a feeling that his wishes had come true!
Just as Su Yue was locked in a stalemate with the dwarves.
Lord's Log: "Your territory has completed the Tier 4 upgrade. Abraham hopes you will return to the territory as soon as possible to decide on the new Tier 4 building personnel situation."
"!!!"
"Four books already?"
This time there didn't seem to be a server-wide announcement, which disappointed Su Yue, who had hoped to get more free attribute points.
He is increasingly feeling the difficulty of acquiring free attribute points.
When I upgraded to level 4 lord, I also gained 5 free attribute points for upgrading through the S-rank profession of Divine Ruler.
“The elven troops and armies are already on our northwest flank, and the ‘Munishini’ forest is ready. They will reap the benefits once we start a major battle.”
Abbott Bodu looked up at Su Yue in the sky, wondering how he could speak so loudly from such a distance that Su Yue could hear him clearly. His voice was truly powerful; he wondered what level of strength Su Yue possessed.
Su Yue was because Europa was not by her side.
It lacks the ability to launch detection techniques.
However, he also realized one thing: the Northern Fortress was more troublesome than he had imagined. The mountains had been pierced through, and with the Dwarven Empire's railways and high-level engineering departments, as well as a large number of dwarven soldiers and miners, it would be an impossible task for early-stage player lords of the Turin world to plunder this Northern Fortress, which was rich in rare metals, and obtain their mineral resources.
Lord's Log: "Your lord Abraham has amassed a treasure of 5 million gold coins and is transporting it through the devil's cult. Please return to your territory immediately."
Su Yue originally did not intend to let the dwarves off so easily.
However, a message from Abraham has appeared!
He glanced wistfully at the dwarf army before him.
A force of nearly several thousand men.
He can eat it.
However, there was no need for it, and Su Yue also felt it would be troublesome if problems arose.
"I hope the information you provided is accurate."
Generally speaking, the various forces in a battle take turns attacking each other. That is, affecting one side affects the whole situation. For example, if Su Yue's ratmen provoked a large-scale attack by the dwarves, and the dwarves attacked them in return, either side would suffer heavy losses.
The elven lord on the right will definitely not sit idly by and wait to be killed; he will surely come out of the "Monishini" forest and drive them away.
Following the griffin's location, Su Yue continued to scout southwestward!
"You have discovered Legions: 1000+ Elven Lord troops, the Lord being a High Elf Lord, the rest of the situation is unknown."
Su Yue calmly gazed at the dwarf army in the distance.
Their intention to withdraw troops couldn't be clearer.
"Thankfully, a fight didn't break out."
If a fight breaks out now, and Su Yue is ambushed from behind by the elven army, he will likely suffer heavy losses. Su Yue doesn't care about other losses, but he is afraid that his catapults will be ambushed.
This elven force also includes a large number of fourth-tier and even sixth-tier elites. High elves are a long-lived race, often living for thousands of years.
Their archery skills and the quality of their troops were generally high.
Just like Zhou Zhuo's dark elves.
"retreat!"
Su Yue gave direct orders: he needed to go back and check on the development of his territory and the completion of the four bases.
He was also incredibly excited.
His three books and base are all special buildings.
Is a player's normal Tier 3 base called a town or a village?
This is directly the parliament.
It can only be said that Jin Xiuer, this female succubus, was truly his lucky star. However, before returning, Su Yue saw two extremely beautiful goddess-level beauties walking towards him, facing the falling griffin wings.
"Brother Su Yue!!~"
"Brother Su Yue!~"
The two of them, one on each side, immediately joined hands?
Su Yue wondered, "Who am I? Where am I? Am I in Shang K?"
