CHAPTER 171: CHAPTER 104: THE SECOND SPIRIT TREE AND THE PROSPERITY OF THE TERRITORY

This stubborn mule really can’t listen to any good or bad words.

Hilude hurriedly stepped forward, supporting Su Li’s arm, gently soothing his back with her soft right hand, helping him regulate his breathing, and softly persuaded, "Lord, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Dwarves are born with this extremely stubborn, extremely obstinate nature. Please don’t get angry and harm your health. We would be heartbroken, and it would be the greatest loss to our territory. Let me talk to him, maybe I can persuade him."

Su Li waved his hand while gasping, having resigned to his fate, without much expectation.

Since these Dwarves are not afraid to die, let them pursue a worthy death then!

It’s hard to persuade a damned ghost, I’ve already done my best.

Mudalyn too showed the classic irritable nature of a Dwarf. Seeing Hilude approach, he glared with his round eyes, his beard and hair flaring, angrily saying, "If you’re going to talk to me about the tactics of that damsel you humans worship, then save it! She’s your god, not ours; proud Dwarves don’t believe in her ways. We will not retreat, we must take the offensive and absolutely will not allow these damned demons to defile our sacred Redbeard Castle."

With a faint smile, Hilude took the most precious artifact of the territory, the Water Repelling Pearl, from Philis. She held the blue-glowing Water Repelling Pearl in her palm, presenting it in front of Mudalyn and said, "I understand your concern about Chaos Corruption, but our territory has the Water Repelling Pearl which can purify corruption, so we have no worries about the ravages of the Demon Legion."

"I propose a new plan, both of us take a step back. We won’t insist on a decisive battle under Redbeard Castle, but rather lure the Demon Army to the Bloody Highlands, thus unleashing the Knights’ greatest combat power."

"And you must follow our Lord’s command, executing the battle plan according to our tactics, without urging us to send troops, and without questioning our tactical deployment."

"How does this condition sound to you? If you are still not satisfied, then we have no choice but to refuse assistance, leaving you to battle on your own."

"You threaten the Dwarves!" Mudalyn erupted into instant fury, clutching his war axe, like a lion about to pounce, ready to shred Hilude, he roared angrily, "Dwarves never negotiate under the blade!"

Facing his overwhelming momentum, Hilude remained calm, saying, "If luring the Demon Legion from Redbeard Castle to Hesse Territory counts as a threat, then I indeed am threatening you. We can bring this case to the Dwarf Supreme King and have the Supreme King judge it."

"Having reason does not rely on raising voices. You can express anger, but there’s no need to express it in such a way; it makes you appear defeated."

After hearing Hilude’s reasonable and well-founded words, and facing her calm and composed demeanor, the Dwarf’s momentum quickly deflated.

He couldn’t possibly actually attack Hilude, as she is a Knight who has earned the gratitude of their entire Dwarf clan. If he did so, he would lose all his honor and be reviled by his entire race.

He mumbled, "Alright, Hilude, you’ve won this debate. Even the stubborn Dwarves must bow to your meticulous logic. Let’s discuss in detail how you plan to lure the Demon Legion to the Bloody Highlands, and what tactics you intend to use to defeat them?"

Hilude’s energetic face showed a confident smile, saying, "It is very easy to lure this Demon Legion to the Bloody Highlands. They are followers of the Blood God Khorne, obsessed with killing, only thinking of blood sacrifices to the Blood God, presenting heads as offerings. Compared to attacking a fortress with formidable defenses, such boring battles, they naturally prefer a bloodthirsty clash with a well-matched army."

"As long as we lead the massive alliance to the foot of the Gray Mountain Range and challenge them, they will eagerly redirect their forces towards us to satisfy their hunger for slaughter and blood."

"No follower of Khorne can resist such a battle. As for what tactics we will deploy, that belongs to the contents of the Sun Goddess’s believers’ doctrine, which I think you are not interested in, and according to the agreement, you can’t question."

Mudalyn muttered, "Wait for us to discuss!"

Then he turned around and started loudly quarrelling with Dorglin and several long-bearded Dwarves.

Hilude then turned around, walked to Su Li, and confidently said, "Lord, they will agree. Since they would never agree to engage in battle under Redbeard Castle, we might as well take a step back, delay the deployment of troops, and forge more Moon Crown Tree Flower enchanted weapons, which also greatly increases our chances against the demons. Moreover, with the corpses and flesh closer to our territory, the saving on transportation losses could significantly enlarge the blood sacrifice’s scale."

Su Li sighed in relief, smiling as he said, "I trust your judgement, Hilude, after all, I’ve already heard their consensus."

The so-called conspiracy and consultation of the Dwarves, the loud voice would practically blow the roof off.

Their ultimate acceptance of Hilude’s terms was already an inevitable choice!

So Su Li asked, "Do you have a way to defeat this Demon Legion? Don’t let it backfire and end up inviting trouble."

Hilude replied calmly, "If we let the Dwarves continue on their own, this entire Mountain Shield Array would die in battle, and the northern situation would become increasingly chaotic. By then, we would be facing even graver circumstances, so it’s better we seize command of this legion to gain the initiative."

"I believe that after we join forces, the probability of defeating the Demon Army is extremely high. Especially with the various treasures we obtained from the Dragon’s Nest."

At this time, the counting of equipment and armor had also been completed.

The Adventurer Squad brought back a total of 9 perfect-level Rune Weapons and 3 sets of perfect-level Vibranium Rune Armor from the Dragon’s Nest.

With these perfect-level equipment, Su Li even had some confidence to arm the entire group of Hesse Guard Knights with perfect-level gear, dressing them all in gleaming armor.

Perhaps even in the future, equip ordinary Attendant Knights with a hundred sets of Star Iron Armor.

Forming a combination of Forbidden Guard in perfect-level Vibranium Rune Armor and ordinary knights in Refined Level Star Iron Armor.

So many shiny heavy-armored knights were enough to shock all competitors and enemies.

Even after distributing these weapons, it wasn’t over. Hilude picked up the most important Battle Banner from the ground!
