Chapter 291: The countdown to the Mahakam chapter.
Saskia's appearance shocked everyone. Just from the sound of the ax being swung, one could tell that it was extremely powerful. What kind of battle was she going through?
The people of Cintra almost screamed when they saw Lann attacking with his bare hands.
On the other hand, the Scoia'tael smiled. Saskia's gesture showed that Carbon Mountain was in battle and their plan worked!
Lan shook off his numb hand, looked Saskia up and down, and found that although the dragon girl was swinging the ax vigorously just now, she was not very embarrassed, and there was not even much blood on her body.
"Are you fighting? Who is the enemy? How is the situation in Carbon Mountain?"
...
Before sending Saskia to take care of the ice giant, Lan briefly revealed some of his plans about the Scoia'tael to her.
At this moment, Miss Dragon Girl looked at the Scoia'tael who was kneeling on the ground and the Great Elder Broval who could clearly see that he was suppressing his anger, and she almost blurted out "As you expected" to Lan.
Forcibly swallowing the words back in her throat and reorganizing them, Saskia took a breath and said, "In fact, we have finished the fight." "
The young Ferenz who escorted the Scoia'tael over acted as internal agents, and they released the prisoners. The Scoia'tael in the dungeon, and then the Scoia'tael lurking outside Carbon Mountain were let in together. They seemed to have planned it for a long time." "They were shouting some strange words about 'making the dwarves great again', as if they wanted to incite them
. Something. But the regiment of Carbon Mountain reacted very quickly. The Barclay troops who received you are really good at it. They dispersed the Scoia'tael in one confrontation and forced them into a blind corner." "Those veterans faced the Scoia'tael's
slogans They were all unwavering, and so were the residents of Carbon Mountain. Some young people were ready to take action at first, but were quickly dragged back to the house by their parents. Then those parents came out to help with axes and armor." Lan nodded
. Head, things developed as he expected. The Scoia'tael did stir up a bit of trouble, but they were photographed very quickly, which was in Cintra's interests.
Turning his gaze towards the Great Elder, the old dwarf did not show any "relieved" gesture, but just nodded to express his gratitude to Saskia.
"Impossible!" The three-braided dwarf knelt on the ground and screamed, "You were clearly still swinging an ax just now, and you were fighting hard! Now you are just trying to lie to stabilize the morale of the army. Those compatriots in Carbon Mountain who are suffering from Brovar We will never be indifferent to our slogans, absolutely..."
With a "bang", the nose of the three-braided dwarf came into close contact with the hard frozen soil for the second time with the help of the dwarf guards.
Lann looked at Saskia, and the dragon girl shrugged at him: "I don't even have a drop of blood on my body, how can I fight hard? But this battle was really ugly... Although Barclay's soldiers were not affected by the slogan Interference, but none of them seem to be very willing to kill the Scoia'tael. It took a long time to fight back and forth, so I went to help. The most dead people were at the beginning when Sieglin betrayed..." "
Qi Green betrayed you?" The great elder on the side suddenly said.
Saskia nodded and revealed the Scoia'tael's plan to use Chief Zigrin to drug the Ice Giant. In fact, in the end, the Ice Giant maintained complete and abundant combat effectiveness, but he did not take action. The Scoia'tael in Carbon Mountain have now been almost wiped out by the army led by Barclay.
"Zie Gelin..." The great elder muttered the name of the clan and glanced at Lann, wondering what he was thinking.
"Ferenz..." Then another clan name appeared in the mouth of the great elder. This time his eyes were fierce, and the angry look inside could be seen at a glance.
The Scoia'tael kneeling on the ground had become distraught. Saskia's account was very detailed, and there were no logical loopholes in the development process. It did not look like a lie. This showed that the action of the Scoia'tael had indeed failed. of.
Grand Elder Broval walked up to the Three-Braided Scoia'tael, inverted the ax handle and placed it on the opponent's chin, forcing the opponent to look at him. The ax is very heavy, and the Great Elder's body is very old, but he carries the ax as easily as if he is holding just a branch.
"What other plans do you have, and how many more people are there?"
The three-braided Scoia'tael remained silent.
Lann raised his eyebrows and made the [Yaxi Seal] gesture with his left hand.
"If you need to torture information, maybe I can do it for you."
"No, Duke Lannister." The elder shook his head, "You have helped us enough today, and now it is our own business."
He After waving his hands, the soldiers of the Dwarf Guards picked up the three-braided dwarf and took him back for questioning after the matter here was over.
However, the Scoia'tael seemed to be stimulated by the Great Elder's words. He began to struggle violently and began to shout loudly: "
You defeated us with the help of humans, Broval! You prayed for the help of humans, You abandoned the glory of the dwarves!"
The great elder said nothing, but the red face suddenly began to lose color and became like a rock in the mountains.
"You've been in Mahakam for too long, and you can't hear the sounds outside at all!" The Three-Braided Scoia'tael is still shouting, "The dwarves can no longer remain neutral, and can no longer hide and sleep in the mountains! We We need to fight back against humans, we need to wake up the sleeping Mahakam, we need..."
"Give him an ax." The great elder suddenly interrupted.
The people of Sintra who were watching almost thought they had heard wrongly. But the soldiers of the Dwarf Guard did not. They maintained 100% obedience to the orders of the Great Elder.
Although they looked hesitant, they still loyally let go of the three-braided dwarf, which caused panic among the captives.
Then there was a "clang" and an ax was thrown in front of the three-braided dwarf. He looked around quickly, then hurriedly crawled over to pick up the axe. He kept rotating his body and pointed the ax blade at the people around him in a chaotic and orderly manner like an archer aiming at a target.
Then he found that the members of the dwarf guard had all taken two steps back, and the one closest to him at the moment was actually the Great Elder Brovar Hogg.
Brovar Hogg with an axe.
Lann raised his eyebrows. How do you say that the great elder wants to have a ritualistic duel with the traitor to break the prisoner's psychological defense? This might actually be possible for Mahakam, who values tradition and honor.
However, considering the moral bottom line displayed by the Scoia'tael at this moment, this "possibility" may be relatively low.
The three-braided dwarf quickly calmed down after the initial panic. He pretended to be calm with a trembling "ha" and said: "Brovar Hogg, you made a wrong decision. You are already old." "It's impossible to..."
"Continue." The great elder suddenly interrupted the other party.
The three-braided dwarf suddenly choked on his words.
"Go on, do you have any other ideas about the future of Mahakam and the dwarves?"
The three-braided dwarf looked at the great elder in disbelief. For some reason, he obediently began to repeat his "ideal blueprint" again.
"I, we... can no longer remain neutral." But his voice was no longer as firm as when he was first captured, "We can either be enemies of humans, or, or we can only be their slaves..."
A "whoosh" sound came from the breaking wind, and the cold steel turned into a black shadow in mid-air. The three-braided dwarf was horrified and began to swing the ax in his hand hurriedly to prevent a sneak attack.
However, with a "clang", Grand Elder Brovar threw his battle ax aside, even in the direction away from the Three-Braided Scoia'tael. At this moment, he was empty-handed and continued to walk towards the three-braided dwarf slowly and oppressively.
"Continue, continue."
The three-braided dwarf swallowed hard and raised the ax blade in his hand: "Damn it, do you think you can scare me? You cowardly old man, our plan, our The plan is..."
At that moment, the three-braided dwarf's mind was almost blank, and then he felt a sudden push from the ax in his hand. Gathering his fragmented thoughts back together, he suddenly saw that the great elder with empty hands was pressing the ax blade with his chest, and was still pressing towards him step by step.
"Teng Teng Teng" The three-braided dwarf holding a sharp ax kept retreating, but the unarmed elder still moved forward resolutely.
"We, we want to make the dwarves great again, we want..." The three-braided dwarf breathed heavily, but he was speechless.
Geralt and Kolgrim looked at each other and strode to Lan's side involuntarily. They wanted to say something, but Lan raised his hand to stop them.
The lion's eyes were surprisingly bright, staring firmly at the dwarf's great elder. After the Three-braided Scoia'tael could no longer talk eloquently, the Great Elder finally started to talk about something else.
"I was elected as the great elder by the clans two hundred years ago and began to rule Mahakam."
In the horrified eyes of the three-braided dwarf, Brovar suddenly reached out and patted his shoulder, and his cloak fell to the ground.
"The elves begged us for support at the gate of Mahakam, but I ordered the door to be closed tightly. So the kingdom of elves perished, and Mahakam survived. Now Mahakam is the only country ruled by an ancient race.
" Val pulled hard on his waist, and then his breastplate fell to the ground with a crash.
"For hundreds of years, we have been mining, forging, mining, and forging. Young people keep leaving and coming back. Do you think that you, who joined the Scoia'tael, are the first to have ideas and want to overthrow me? ?"
Broval's eyes widened, his face was calm, but the flames were already burning in his chest.
He tore open the cotton-padded clothes inside the breastplate, revealing the skin like wood underneath and the still angular chest muscles, and fiercely pushed against the opponent's ax blade.
"Do you think you are the first person to have a problem with me and try to kill me?!" The
three-braided dwarf no longer dared to look into those scorching eyes. He actually began to look around for help.
"Damn it, someone, come here, give him an axe...or give your great elder a sword!" The Scoia'tael trembled with trembling lips, "Otherwise, or I will..." "Otherwise you will kill me
? "Brovar took over the other party's words coldly.
"Young man, young man! Do you think you have seen the future of the dwarves? Do you think you are right?" Broval raised his chest fiercely, and the sharp ax blade was suddenly embedded into his skin. "Then come on Ah, kill me and lead Mahakam to the future. Isn't this the future you expect?"
Red blood flowed like a stream from the junction of the ax head and the skin. However, the three-braided dwarf suddenly raised his hand in panic as if he was electrocuted, and then threw his only weapon far away.
His steps were messy and he kept backing up, and finally his left foot tripped over his right foot, or maybe it was just his knees that gave way, and he fell to the ground with a "thump".
The great elder still moved forward with that pressing pace that was neither fast nor slow, without even looking at the wound on his chest, until he stood in front of the three-braided dwarf.
"Listen, I don't even want to know your name traitor. I will not die, not in the hands of you traitors. Mahakam will not allow it, the dwarves will not allow it, and the future of the mountains will not allow it. !"
"We, our plan, our ideal is..." The three-braided dwarf's psychological defense was completely broken. He just muttered to himself, but he could not say the so-called "plan" and "ideal". follow-up.
The cold wind in the mountains quickly froze the blood on the elder's chest into a clot.
"You want to prove that you are a man." Looking at the Scoia'tael who couldn't stand up, the elder shook his head, "But even if you have grown a beard, you are still just a child after all. You can't do this kind of return and infiltration , you don’t have the guts to overturn Mahakam’s plan.”
“Tell me, who arranged all these actions.”
“It’s... the Scoia’tael, those elves.” The three-braided dwarf wriggled his lips.
"Elf?" The great elder's eyes became confused.
The three-braided dwarf lowered his head: "Those elves...the elves responsible for contacting Nilfgaard received instructions a few days ago. They said that they are willing to build a new country for the elves. They are also willing to give us dwarves a more open country. Territory."
"Nilfgaard?" The great elder's eyes became even more disappointed, "Hatred with humans, huh?" "The ones who
oppress us, those who oppress us are the kingdoms in the north, Temeria, Kaedwen, Aedirn, and Temeria..." The three-braided dwarf said to himself, shaking his head crazily, "We, we can leave the mountains and become freer and more open. With the new territory, Ni Nilfgaard is no longer important, we can work with the elves, and then deal with Nilfgaard..."
The great elder no longer looked at the three-braided dwarf, he already knew the news he wanted.
With a wave of his hand, two dwarf guard soldiers immediately tied up the dazed three-braided dwarf again and dragged him aside.
Lan used his powerful expression control ability to suppress the raised corners of his mouth, and strode to a stop five steps away from Broval.
