Looking at the re-iteration production line, Carl let out a breath and then patted his lower back.

With this new production line, new construct parts will be more up to standard.

Just when Carl was about to take a break, Ying suddenly jumped in from outside and reported with a serious face: "A group of drow elves appeared in the direction of Obsidian City and are heading towards our current location. Should we ..."

Although he was talking about his own people, Ying's cold expression was as if he was talking about an unrelated stranger or even a guy with whom he had a slight grudge.

"No! No need. Oh, stop the fighting! Let Bane and Scorpion take 50 constructs over there. I want to see what kind of people they are."

Although he did not enter Obsidian City because he was in a hurry to return to Storm Bay, Carl was still quite interested in this drow main city.

The descriptions of the drow he had taken in before were always vague, which made it difficult for him to find out what he wanted to know.

Seeing Ying about to leave, Carl seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly called Ying again.

Turning his head in confusion, Ying looked at Carl with an inquiring look.

"Remember to have Scorpion bring plenty of food and fresh water. It takes about two or three days to get here from Obsidian City. Even if we capture them and make them slaves, we have to feed them!"

With a slight nod, Ying walked into the shadows and disappeared.

Soon, accompanied by a loud noise, Bane and Scorpion drove a construct and led the other 49 to meet the drow team.

The one they were riding was considered the flagship.

Compared to ordinary constructs, the muzzle of the flagship version has been strengthened by Carl.

Not only that, if you switch the rune plate inside the construct, the force cannon can also be transformed into an electromagnetic cannon.

Carl loaded eighteen shells into the construct to prevent them from running out of firepower if they encountered any special enemy.

As the army of constructs set out, a cloud of dust rose near the camp.

Carl and his companions were not afraid of being discovered by the fire dwarves, because it had been verified that the fire dwarves could not see at this distance.

The constructs moved swiftly like iron spiders, and before long, Scorpion saw those drow with his naked eyes through the lookout.

However, when she saw the faces of some of them clearly, she was a little confused.

Although the skin of those "drow" was still purple, it was covered with orange-red cracks.

The light in the cracks would increase or decrease with their breathing.

Their hair is somewhere between matter and energy, and although it looks like actual hair, the ends of the hair light up like flames.

Some of these "drow" have horns similar to Hope's on their foreheads. They walk almost barefoot on the scorching ground, but they don't care about the high temperature.

"What is this?"

Although he worked as an intelligence agent in Storm Bay for a period of time, Scorpion's knowledge was still limited by his own limitations.

Patting her husband who was sitting next to the scope, ready to fire at any time, Scorpion lifted and dragged Bane to the lookout, as if pinning her hope of recognizing those strange drow on Bane.

But although Bane was a Sharn, he had never seen such a strange creature.

Shaking his head blankly, he said hesitantly:

"Could it be the child of the drow and the fire giant?"

As a half-orc, Baine quickly thought of this possibility based on his own situation.

This answer made Scorpion feel a little confused, because she didn't know that drow and giants could give birth to hybrids.

Moreover, judging from the time, it has only been more than 40 years since the fire giants ruled Obsidian City. How did these hybrids grow so big?

They look totally grown up!

Could it be that two long-lived races gave birth to a short-lived species?

Thinking of this, Scorpion subconsciously glanced at Bane, and his heart felt a little gloomy.

Just as the two were thinking about their own things, the drow suddenly quickened their pace and hurried towards the army of constructs.

Bane also understood why these people did not leave such a spacious place and instead headed all the way towards the base.

They came here by following the traces of the truck's original movement.

Although the modified tires of the truck would theoretically not leave tire marks, the changes to the ground caused by earth shaping created an inconspicuous road on the earth.

These people just followed this path.

"Should we fire a warning shot?"

Patting his wife on the back, Bain asked in a deep voice.

With this slap, Scorpio suddenly woke up from thinking about "how to prolong her husband's life" and nodded subconsciously.

"Bang!"

Almost at the same time as Scorpion nodded, a force cannon exploded in the path of the drow team.

Bane deliberately controlled the angle of the bombardment so as not to hurt the drow, but also to allow the flying debris to stop them.

"We have no ill intentions! Please take us in!"

As a string of elven words sounded, a drow who seemed to be the leader of this team stood up.

"You keep an eye on them here, I'll go down and negotiate!"

Bane was envious of this action. Due to the size difference, he could only enter and exit through the door behind the construct.

"What is your purpose here?"

As soon as he came out of the construct, Scorpion shouted at the drow with a serious face.

Combined with the other 49 constructs around the flagship, these words are really impressive.

"We came here following your traces! Jialian left us clues on the road, saying that you can provide sufficient food and fresh water. Please take us in. We can do a lot of things!"

Without any hesitation, Zhuo Er, who was in the lead, knelt down immediately.

This scared the scorpion.

She had always heard that the drow in Obsidian City had bad tempers and had formed a stereotype about them, but now...

Looking up, Scorpion saw those strange drow who were secretly clenching their fists behind this drow.

"Get up! It's useless for you to kneel before me. I still have the boss to look after. His words count. Come back to the base with me first!"

The so-called Carian is the drow wizard taken in by Carl and his friends.

Scorpion and Shadow had actually noticed before that the drow mage would walk around when the truck stopped, but they didn't expect that this guy was actually leaving a signal for subsequent fugitives.

After carefully counting the number of drow troops, Scorpion discovered that there were quite a lot of people in this fleeing team.

In addition to the twelve ordinary drow, there are eleven special drow.

The dry food prepared by Carl's rat was more than enough to feed these people, but Scorpion was not considering the food problem now, but the strength of both sides.

Any force will become disharmonious once a certain number of outsiders are involved.

This is true even for a mere adventure group.

Although Scorpion has full confidence in the fighting power of her husband and other companions, why should she let it happen if the danger can be avoided?

"I have to tell Carl when I get back to tell them to live away from everyone else, to prevent them from rebelling suddenly."

Thinking with the mind of an ordinary drow, Scorpion returned to the construct, took out the food and water prepared by Carl and distributed them to the drow, then returned to the construct and asked Bane to take the people back.

The drow, who had not eaten for two days, wolfed down their food. Although they fell behind because of the meal, they still managed to keep up.

Two hours later, the army of constructs and the new drow returned to the temporary base.

The first thing Scorpion did after returning was to ask Shadow to capture Carlian. After explaining to Carl the reasons why these people followed him, he stood aside with an indifferent expression.

"No! If there's someone behind you, just tell me!"

Looking at Carrie Ann kneeling in front of him, Carl asked in confusion.

He thought he was quite kind, so why did this Zhuoer play such tricks on him?

"I don't know if they can hold on. Besides, I initially thought I could join your team as a collaborator, but in the end..."

Recalling her work schedule which was almost like 007's during this period, Carrie-Ann couldn't help but shed sad tears.

Although this kind of job was much happier than living under the rule of the fire giants, she always felt that the new boss didn't treat them as human beings at all.

It was because of such concerns that Carrie Ann did not dare to mention that she had other companions following her.

"Ah~, okay, let's not talk about this for now. Since there are new people, then expand your residential area. By the way, this is the first time I've seen drow and efreeti give birth to fire elementals. Most of the elementals in Khorvaire are close relatives of humans."

When those drow with strange looks heard Carl call themselves fire genus, they were stunned for a moment.

"Do you know what we are?"

After a brief silence, these fire elementals immediately became excited.

Affected by their emotions, the fire in their hair and the cracks in their skin glowed brighter.

"Ah? You don't know what you are?"

After taking a sip of mulled wine, Carl looked surprised.

"Aren't you the descendants of those fire giants? Then why is it that..."

Subconsciously, Karl asked the doubts in his heart.

The flames on the heads of several fire elementals suddenly became more intense, but they quickly calmed themselves down.

"No, we, we are descendants of fire dwarves and drow, and even salamanders..."

When talking about their life stories, the fire elementals lowered their heads suddenly.

Seeing this, Jialian hurriedly explained: "Those drow who escaped and returned before became the lowest-ranking slaves under the fire giants. Most of them were rewarded to the fire dwarves and fire lizards who had made contributions, and then... they were born."

Although the ancestor of the Fire Elementals should theoretically be the Fire Giant, this is not absolute.

Rubbing his forehead, Carl stopped Carian who was about to continue speaking, and turned to Thorin and said:

"Okay, let's continue working overtime and try to carve out accommodation for these new employees today."
