"Black silver?" Zhang Ze remembered that before, Bronzebeard said that the armor he was wearing was made of black silver. It seemed that this black silver should be a very special material.
King Ironbeard nodded and said: "Yes, this is a specialty of our dwarf kingdom and cannot be found in other places."
"Although the hardness of black silver is not high, and it cannot be directly used to forge weapons and equipment, its biggest feature is that it can increase the hardness of other metals!"
"So when we forge weapons and equipment, we always put a certain proportion of black silver into it. The weapons and equipment produced in this way are very effective."
King Ironbeard said proudly: "So, our weapons are also the best!"
The giant gods and others were also very excited when they saw the new weapon in Zhang Ze's hand. However, Zhang Ze's greatest contribution in this battle was Zhang Ze's, so they did not expect King Ironbeard to build a new weapon for them.
At this time, Prince Edward, Elliot, and Bess also came to the King's Hall, and the two parties signed a cooperation agreement.
King Ironbeard made 50,000 sets of bows and arrows for Prince Edward for free and sent people to Xiyue Canyon. The service was quite good.
These are all for Zhang Ze's sake.
Prince Edward was full of gratitude and also expressed his gratitude to Zhang Ze. Without Zhang Ze, he would not be able to do these things.
The things here have been done, and everyone set off to the next location: the Western Fortress.
"What is this western fortress?"
In the Iron Titan command room, Zhang Ze asked Prince Edward that the prince had never mentioned this place to him before.
"Oh, this used to be an important pass for the White Lion Kingdom to guard the southern border, but... the commander of the fortress, House, rebelled and no longer obeyed the kingdom's command. He supported his own troops."
Prince Edward sighed and said, "Actually, this matter also started because of my father. He confiscated the embezzled property of House's father, which brought shame to his family and caused House to become dissatisfied and rebel."
"However, he did not counterattack the royal capital. Instead, he stopped carrying out the king's orders and expressed his protest."
"Hmph!" Elliot snorted heavily from the side and said angrily: "This bastard actually betrayed the king. If it weren't for the fact that the queen killed His Majesty the king, I would have asked to lead troops to destroy him!"
Zhang Ze nodded and asked, "So, what are we going to do with him this time?"
A kingdom rebel, does the prince also want to take advantage of him?
Sure enough, I heard Prince Edward say: "My godmother told me that she had secretly contacted House. She persuaded House to surrender to me and asked me to promise House that once he helps me regain the throne, I will pardon his treason." crime, and at the same time, restore his family's honor."
Elliot snorted dissatisfiedly: "Godmother, you shouldn't trust this guy! He can rebel the first time, and he can rebel the second time!"
Prince Edward shook his head and said: "Now we can only unite all the forces that can be united to ensure that we defeat Queen Sigrid, even if the opponent is a rebel."
"And, I'm sure House won't make the same mistake again."
…
The Iron Titan flew over the mountains and finally arrived at the Western Fortress.
In order not to cause trouble, Zhang Ze did not let the Steel Titan drive directly into the fortress. Instead, he let it land outside and the group entered the fortress on foot.
After reporting their names, the fortress's drawbridge was lowered and the gate was opened. A group of people were waiting inside.
"His Royal Highness Prince!"
After the leader, a silver-haired middle-aged man, saw Edward, he knelt down on one knee and led his men to welcome the prince's arrival.
"Commander House, please get up."
Edward stepped forward to help House up and said with a smile: "I have agreed to your godmother's suggestion. As long as you help me regain the throne, I will restore the honor of your family."
House was overjoyed and knelt down again: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
House is also a knight, so he attaches great importance to honor. He doesn't feel sorry for his family property being stolen, but there must be no flaws in the family honor!
Godmother Joania and Edward also grasped this point and successfully persuaded House to join the prince's camp.
"Your Highness, you and your friends have come a long way, please come in and rest."
House led everyone to his residence. Along the way, Zhang Ze and others saw that the soldiers in the fortress were in good spirits and in good order. It seemed that House was also a good leader in fighting. No wonder Joanne wanted to conquer this place. people.
"Commander House, how many men do you have now?" Prince Edward asked, who replied: "There are currently fifteen thousand people."
As a border fortress, it is normal for tens of thousands of troops to be stationed in order to resist foreign invasion.
House only had fifteen thousand men left. It must be that many soldiers left after the rebellion, otherwise there would be more.
Elliot frowned and said, "Fifteen thousand people...are too few."
House asked curiously: "My Godmother only asked me to help His Highness the Prince, but she didn't say yet, what do you need me to do? Can Your Highness the Prince tell me?"
"That's right." Prince Edward nodded: "Our plan this time is to besiege the Blackstone Kingdom first. As the princess of the Blackstone Kingdom, Sigrid cannot ignore death."
"We speculate that she will definitely send General Gordon to lead troops to rescue. If we fight well and the Blackstone Kingdom is in danger, she will definitely send more troops there."
"At this time, the Royal Capital will be empty of troops. Commander House, you and your troops will besiege the Royal Capital and capture Sigrid."
House thought about it seriously and said, "I understand, but I'm afraid the few troops I have are not enough..."
This is true. The walls of the royal capital are high and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if there are no troops inside, it would be impossible to capture it with less than 30,000 people.
The number of troops in House's hands is too different, and it is too difficult to crack this hard nut.
Prince Edward suddenly said: "Don't worry about this, I also have a way for you to enter the royal capital."
House was stunned, and Elliot and Beth were also curious, and then heard Prince Edward say: "I know a secret passage that allows you to enter the royal capital without anyone noticing. When the time comes, you can take the opportunity to besiege the palace. Get Sigrid!"
In fact, this kind of secret passage was reserved for the royal family for their own escape. It was designed in advance when the castle was built, and most people didn't know it.
This time, in order to defeat Queen Sigrid, Edward had to reveal the secret of the secret passage.
"Great!" House said with joy on his face: "If there is a secret passage, I can take down the palace with five thousand people and capture Sigrid!"
Prince Edward stretched out his hand: "Well, Commander House, we have reached an agreement. When we besiege the Blackstone Kingdom, I hope you can abide by our promise, attack the palace, and capture Sigrid!"
"My subordinates will never disgrace their orders!" House solemnly promised.
Things went well, and Prince Edward was in a good mood. House asked to stay for a few days, and he agreed.
Anyway, it takes time for dwarves to build good weapons, so it's just a good time to relax here.
As friends of Prince Edward, Zhang Ze and others naturally received warm hospitality from House.
Standing at the head of the fortress, Zhang Ze looked at the countless mountains in the distance and asked House: "Who are your enemies? Are they hiding in those mountains?"
"Yes, they are a group of barbarians. Although they are human beings like us, they eat hair and drink blood and live a backward and primitive life."
House had a look of disgust on his face: "It stinks all over, it's very annoying!"
The giant god asked: "Those barbarians attacked the fortress to steal food?"
"No, there is no shortage of food in the mountains where they live. They just want to take back this land." House shrugged and said: "At the beginning, I was ordered to expand the territory and drive the barbarians here into the mountains. Those barbarians did not They were willing to give up the land of their ancestors, so they continued to harass and provoke them.”
"So, in order to occupy this land and ensure that it will not be taken back by the barbarians, we built the Western Fortress here."
Zhang Feng frowned and said, "Isn't this just occupying other people's land and driving them away? That's too much!"
"Miss, this world is dominated by the jungle!" House glanced at Zhang Feng and said, "Whoever is stronger will have more resources. If the barbarians are stronger than us, we will also be bullied. "
Although this sounds ugly, it is true.
Not to mention this backward feudal dynasty era, isn't it the same even in the civilized era where Zhang Ze and others live?
"Okay, everyone, it's too windy here, so go down and rest."
Everyone followed House towards the city. Zhang Feng suddenly stopped. She looked at the mountains in the distance and seemed to feel something.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Ze asked strangely.
"Well, I feel like someone is watching us." Zhang Feng looked far away and said, "But I'm not sure."
"Maybe it's your illusion?" Zhang Ze also looked over, but he felt nothing.
The group left the city wall and returned to the house arranged for them by House to rest.
Inside House's residence.
A written note was placed on the carrier pigeon. House walked to the window, reached out and let go of the pigeon, watching it disappear into the horizon.
"Lady Sigrid, I have followed your instructions and I hope you will keep your promise."
There was a cold look in House's eyes.
At night, the three princes had fallen asleep, and Zhang Ze and others had also rested.
At this time, Zhang Feng suddenly heard someone whispering in her ear. She rubbed her eyes and sat up. The surroundings were dark and she could not see anything.
"Get up... get up quickly..."
The sound sounded again, and she was stunned for a moment, looking around, and finally found a dark shadow standing in front of the window.
"You, who are you?"
Zhang Feng was startled. She wanted to wake up her companions, but her body could not move.
"I am a barbarian wizard. You have fallen into House's trap. Move quickly. It is dangerous here!"
Then, the black shadow disappeared, and Zhang Feng found that he could move.
"Is this a dream or is it real?"
She was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked to the window. Suddenly there were many figures running outside, their voices were very soft, obviously to prevent them from hearing her.
"What are these people doing?" Zhang Feng's heart sank. She felt something was wrong, so she immediately went back to wake up her companion on the bed.
"Sister-in-law, little rabbit, little bird, sister Melancholy, little princess, wake up!"
The girls woke up one after another. After listening to Zhang Feng's words, Liu Yueying was the first to rush to the window to check. She looked cold: "It's House's soldiers. They are carrying wood and seem to want to burn us to death!"
"I'll tell Rakshasa and Titan immediately!" Tianmei Melancholy immediately sent a message on the team channel, but she didn't know if Zhang Ze and the others could see it while they were sleeping.
Fortunately, Zhang Ze had woken up. He also heard a strange noise and realized something was wrong. He was about to tell Liu Yueying when the melancholy message from the sky came over.
"Damn it, why did House want to kill us?" The Dragon King clenched the iron rod and prepared to rush out: "I'll kill him first!"
Zhang Ze said in a deep voice: "I guess this guy may have taken refuge with Sigrid and laid a trap in advance, waiting for us to come in!"
Yes, Sigrid had received the news after Prince Edward left the territory.
Although she didn't know the whereabouts of the prince, Zhang Ze and his party, she could roughly guess that they must be seeking cooperation to overthrow her.
So after some analysis, she believed that House might be the target of Prince Edward's cooperation, so she took the initiative, contacted House, and made a promise to not only restore the honor of the House family, but also confer him an official title. Jiajue.
The top beam is crooked and the bottom beam is crooked. House's father is corrupt and he is not a good person. When he sees the benefits, he naturally agrees to submit to Sigrid.
Just like that, he prepared a trap, waiting for the prince and his party to jump in.
At this time, House was watching his men place piles of wood outside the house where Zhang Ze and the prince lived. With a sinister smile on his face, he raised his hand and said: "Get ready, light the fire!"
boom!
The flames flew up in the wind and engulfed the house in an instant.
"Archers are ready, if anyone comes out from inside, shoot them directly!"
To be on the safe side, House brought hundreds of archers to guard the outside, with the goal of killing them all!
Sudden! A black shadow broke through the roof and flew high into the sky.
"That's a black dragon?!"
House looked shocked. This legendary terrifying beast should not appear here.
On the back of the Dark Dragon God, Elliot yelled at House: "You bastard, the Prince's Palace has promised to restore the honor of your family, but you still want to burn His Highness to death, damn it!"
House sneered: "One is the queen who holds real power, and the other is the desolate prince who talks empty words. Even a fool knows which one to choose!"
He took out a necklace from his collar, rubbed the black pendant on it, and recited a strange spell.
Beth's expression changed: "House is reciting a spell, but he is actually a magician?"
Moonlight Bunny aimed at House: "I'll interrupt him!"
Boom!
A bullet flew out, but was swallowed up by a black shadow!
The black figure came out of House's necklace and pendant. It had four limbs and looked humanoid, but its face could not be seen.
"Hey, this is the undead sealed in the pendant!" House laughed wildly: "It will tear you all apart!"
call!
