Chapter 166: 164 Red Copper Dwarves_l

Early the next day, Ebik rode his griffin back to the territory of the Black Iron Dwarves.

Before leaving, Otto handed him a silver dragon scale, on which Sofia had attached communication magic.

Otto had already agreed with him that once the time was right, he would contact him through this dragon scale.

Then, the Soaring Dragon Legion and the Black Iron Dwarves would simultaneously attack the Red Copper Dwarves.

Now, Otto personally flew to the Sulfur Mountains, keeping his distance and observing the war between the Lait people and the Red Copper Dwarves.

The battle had been going on for nearly two months. At the beginning, the Red Copper Dwarves had confined themselves to their main city, the Red Copper Castle.

Red Copper Castle was a dwarf city directly embedded at the foot of the Sky Mountains, originally just the entrance to the copper mine for the Red Copper Dwarves.

Later on, as they dug deeper and the internal space became large enough, the Red Copper Dwarves simply moved all their belongings inside and transformed the original mine into a main city.

They left a huge stone gate at the entrance of the Red Copper Castle and poured various metals on the outside of the giant stone.

This made their front gate sturdy and heavy, and on ordinary days, it could only be opened and closed with a complex gear mechanism.

So at first, they didn’t take the Lait’s attack seriously and just brought all the Red Copper Dwarves from the surrounding villages into the Red Copper Castle.

Then, with the main gate closed, they had nothing to worry about.

The Lait’s flying axes and long spears were no match for the thick gates, and the Red Copper Dwarves could counterattack using ballistas and firearms from the small windows they had dug around the main gate.

If they had stayed in the Red Copper Castle, the Lait people really could not have done anything to them.

However, as time passed, new problems naturally arose. The cave had everything except food.

Wheat couldn’t be grown in the cave, nor mushrooms dug up. Soon, there was a noticeable food shortage in the Red Copper Castle.

So, out of desperation, the Red Copper Dwarves sent some warriors to venture out for food, but fewer and fewer of them returned each time.

Moreover, the small amount of food brought back by the few returning dwarves couldn’t supply the consumption of the entire Red Copper Castle, so a new voice emerged.

Elder Barn was a typical pro-war advocate with a fierce temper.

When Mido, a longtime friend of the Red Copper Dwarves, fell, he advocated attacking the Lait people to teach those damn pirates a lesson.

The incident of killing the messenger from the Land of the Soaring Dragon was also his doing.

However, Red Copper King Sorin Hall thought it was more important to protect the safety of his own people, even though he felt sorry for the unfortunate friends of Mido.

But at this point, the overall situation had to be considered.

Initially, Sorin thought that the Lait people would withdraw after paying enough price, but the development of the situation was far beyond his

expectation.

Not only did the Lait not leave, but more and more people gathered near the Red Copper Castle.

Moreover, he found many familiar faces among the Lait’s forces, such as some Mido merchants who had visited the Red Copper Castle before.

But now, their faces no longer showed the grace of the past. Like the Lait pirates, they were mad and brutal.

Look at what they had become now…

They shouted and launched useless charges at the Red Copper Castle, only to die under the arrows of the ballistas and the roars of the firearms.

But when they reached the end of their lives, their faces showed smiles of relief.

This greatly touched Sorin’s heart, and he agreed with Grand Elder Barn’s proposal to launch a counterattack against the Lait people.

After nearly a month of life-and-death struggles, both the Red Copper

Dwarves and the Lait people suffered heavy losses, but there were also gains.

At least the people in Red Copper Castle were no longer hungry, and they also figured out why their former friends were wielding butcher knives against the Red Copper Dwarves.

All because of those bizarre colored pills!

A few elderly people in the clan, who were about to die, stood up. They volunteered to help the Red Copper Castle figure out the specific effects of these colored pills.

This also helped the Red Copper Castle understand how to deal with those crazy Lait pirates.

Although these pills could greatly enhance their combat abilities, they also had huge drawbacks.

That was, the Lait people who took this pill could not fight for a long time, and if they took it continuously in a short amount of time, it could even endanger their lives.

After a Red Copper Dwarf had eaten four pills in a row, irregular scales grew on his body, and he died in great pain, clutching his neck.

After knowing this, Sorin personally led his clan brothers in a surprise attack on the Lait people’s camp. Once they took the pills, they chose to withdraw.

After the effects of the pills wore off, he would lead his clan brothers to kill again. If the Lait people took pills again, they would quickly retreat.

After such back and forth, the terrifying individual strength of the Lait people after taking the pills could be completely ignored.

And through this method of combat, the Red Copper Dwarves easily suppressed the Lait people’s troops at the foot of the Sky Mountains without suffering much casualties.

Today, those damn Lait pirates still climbed the Sky Mountains as they did not know their limits.

Even though their annoying faces changed one by one, but their foolish minds seemed to be no different.

They just knew to take the pills and charge mindlessly.

Later, they ate dust as they chased after the butts of the Red Copper Dwarves, who could outrun them in the mountains.

After several attempts, the Lait people, weak and powerless, had their heads easily crushed by the Red Copper Dwarves.

As usual, Sorin shouted loudly, telling his clan brothers that everything was going according to plan.

“Ah, though they are humans, the Lait people are as disgusting as those blackbeards…”

Sorin shook his head. As soon as the Lait people who climbed the mountain swallowed their pills, he was ready to lead his people to retreat back to the Red Copper Castle, just as before.

But this time, there was an accident. A dark cloud appeared from the Sulfur Mountains and flew toward the rear of the Red Copper Dwarves.

As the dark cloud approached, Sorin realized that it was not a cloud at all, but dozens of fierce chimeras.

Before he could react, terrifying thunderstorms and flames descended from the sky, cutting off the Red Copper Dwarves’ escape route.

“Damn it, what’s going on?”

Sorin grabbed his lieutenant and roared, but the latter’s puzzled face showed that he too clearly knew nothing.

These damn chimeras didn’t do anything too serious, they just delayed the Red Copper Dwarves’ retreat.

But considering that there was still a large group of fierce Lait people at the foot of the mountain, this was a problem..
