77 The Dwarves Pushed Open the Door to A New World
The wine bottle shattered. The strong aroma spread around.
All the dwarves rushed forward, fighting to snatch a piece of the shattered fragments. The dwarves were like addicts trying to lick even a drop of liquor from the broken glass. The remnants on those shattered pieces were a delicacy for them.
“This is good stuff!”
“Only the Lords from other worlds have this kind of liquor!”
“We will steal it all!”
“The liquor must be obtained for safekeeping!”
The dwarves shouted in excitement. Among them all, who were entranced by the prospect of more liquor, only one dwarf was clear-headed.
“How can the city wall be so weak that it can be dug through?” The dwarf wanted to dissuade the others from barging in recklessly. But no one listened to him.
Numerous dwarves followed the spy to the city wall. “I wonder who built the city walls for this Lord. It’s so easy to dig through!”
The dwarves saw that there was indeed a hole in the city wall. Through the hole, they could see a small warehouse filled with bottles and jars.
The strong smell of liquor made them salivate in excitement. The hole led straight to the warehouse filled with fine liquor!
There was clearly something wrong. However, the dwarves ignored their doubts. They only had their eyes on the bottles and jars. They didn’t care if it was a trap or not.
…
Inside the castle, Shi Linglong saw all this. She was worried about Su Wan. “Wanwan, the dwarves are just running away after snatching your bottles. Aren’t you worried?”
Shi Linglong saw that the dwarves snatched the jars and ran away. They were still vigilant even though they were drunk. They didn’t linger around. Shi Linglong guessed that Su Wan wanted to trick the dwarves into entering her territory and then annihilate them. However, the dwarves ran away after getting what they wanted. She was afraid that Su Wan’s plan was going to fail.
Meanwhile, Su Wan didn’t look concerned at all. Instead, she smiled as if whatever she had planned had, finally, succeeded.
“Wanwan, did you poison the liquor?” asked Shi Linglong.
Su Wan shook her head. “Just keep watching and you’ll know!”
The dwarves took the jars and prepared to leave. The dwarf spy approached them again. “Commander, I discovered something new! That warehouse has even more liquor.”
The dwarves looked and saw another small warehouse in the distance. The warehouse looked similar to the one they were in currently.
“Commander, I seek permission to investigate,” said the dwarf spy.
The commander thought for a while and nodded. The dwarf spy pretended to sneak into the other warehouse. After a while, he emerged again. “Good news!” he said. “There are more jars there!”
He had brought along the most exquisite ceramic bottle that they had ever seen. “This was there,” he said, as he opened the lid of the ceramic bottle. The rich smell of strong liquor diffused in the air.
“So fragrant!”
“How does it smell so nice?”
The dwarves licked their lips and gulped. Their commander snatched the bottle and took a swig from the bottle.
One swig seemed to have opened the door to a new world. Dwarves knew their liquor. Besides a strong taste, they also liked it when the liquor was very fragrant.
They realized that the liquor stored in the current warehouse was hard liquor, whereas the ones in the smaller warehouse were fragrant wine.
Seeing that the dwarf spy had sneaked into the warehouse and hadn’t found any traps, the dwarves followed his lead and sneaked into the other warehouse one after another. They were now further away from the city walls.
Suddenly, a loud sound rang above them. The Black Gold behemoth made its debut.
“Roar!” The huge Black Gold Behemoth walked toward the dwarves.
“That’s bad! We have been discovered!”
“Take the wine and run!”
The old drunkards didn’t let go of their wine even until the last moment. Even if they could escape, they wanted to do it with the wine!
However, as they ran back, they realized that a huge rock blocked the hole in the city walls.
“We’ve been tricked!” Only now did the commander realize that this had been all a trap.
Even when the Black Gold Behemoth had appeared, they still were ignorant about the trap that was set up for them. The dwarves had assumed that they had caused a lot of commotion and awakened the guards. When they saw the huge rock blocking their way back, it slowly dawned on them that this had been all a scheme.
A dense crowd of skeleton Knights surrounded them at this point. The three-headed dog was roaring not far away, and terrifying flames were burning.
The Black Gold Behemoth slowly approached them. It laughed. “You puny things dare invade our territory?!” It jumped up and descended with a loud bang. The ground trembled. Many dwarves were knocked about.
“D*mn it!”
“They used fine wine as a trap!”
The dwarf commander was very angry. “We, the Dwarven Army, are brave. Even if we must fight till our last breath, we will! We won’t let you off easy, either!”
The commander of the Dwarven Army was very courageous. He led the Dwarven Army and charged forward.
Numerous dwarves fell in the fight. They got up from the ground and charged again.
“D*mn you, mutated behemoth!”
“We, the Dwarven Army, will stand up and fight to the end!”
A dwarf soldier beside the commander was stabbed by a Skeleton Knight with a long-range bone spear.
Blood splattered all over the commander’s face. The commander was enraged. However, he saw the dead dwarf squirming on the ground once again.
“The Dwarven Army will never fall!” yelled the commander, to encourage the others to fight.
But, at this moment, he realized something was wrong. How was the dwarf not dead?
