Chapter 21
Misunderstanding
The moment they charged into the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield changed.
What made Su Ming even happier was that the Army of Druids and Tree Demons did not just rely on numbers to suppress them.
Their individual combat ability was not inferior to the Dwarven Army.
As a result, the situation on the battlefield was one-sided the moment they entered.
The Dwarf army instantly entered a situation of being suppressed.
When he saw this, Su Ming knew that the battle was almost over.
Hence, Su Ming gave the order.
“Warriors, don’t kill these damn Dwarves. They are still useful!”
In truth, based on Su Ming’s personality, since the Dwarves had already taken the initiative to invade them, he should not have held back.
However, Su Ming did not do that.
In his memory, the Dwarves in this world were actually a species with relatively simple personalities.
If there was not any special reason, they usually would not take the initiative to attack others.
So, he wanted to find out why these Dwarves would suddenly attack his fortress.
Besides, in Su Ming’s plan, the Dwarf tribe was also one of the tribes that he had to take in as his own.
The Dwarves’ ability to use all sorts of weapons, tools, and buildings was an ability that Su Ming needed to build his own kingdom.
After considering all these factors, Su Ming decided not to have the Elves defend against the Dwarves.
While the Elf Clan was furious at the Dwarves’ invasion, they had always obeyed Su Ming’s orders unconditionally.
Once they heard Su Ming’s order, they switched their targets from the Dwarf’s heart and head to non-fatal parts like his limbs.
Under the sweeping attacks of the Druids and the Army of Tree Demons, the situation on the battlefield was quickly settled.
In addition to the dozens of Dwarves who had been shot and killed, more than a hundred Dwarves had been captured.
Su Ming walked up to a Dwarf who was slightly taller than the rest of the Dwarves, but in truth, he was not even 1.5 meters tall. He spoke in a flat tone.
“You’re the leader?”
When the Dwarf heard that, he let out a cold harrumph and turned his head away, looking as if he did not want to bother with Su Ming.
Su Ming did not get angry. He only chuckled softly and said, “You invaded my fortress. I’m already being kind by not killing you.”
“If you think we’re weak and easy to bully because of this, then you’re too stupid.”
The Dwarf leader’s expression changed slightly, but he still did not speak.
When Su Ming saw this, he looked at the Dwarves around him.
“From now on, I’ll kill a Dwarf for every minute you don’t speak until you do.”
“I’d like to see how many of your subordinates I can kill!”
Su Ming’s voice froze, then he said coldly to Teda, who was behind him, “Bring a Dwarf over!”
When Teda heard that, he naturally dragged a Dwarf to Su Ming’s side with a blade in his hand.
“He’s the first one.”
Su Ming said faintly.
The Dwarf leader frowned and looked at the Dwarf who was being escorted up.
“Leader!” The Dwarf immediately said. “Don’t you yield to him! We can’t tolerate this kind of environment-destroying bastard!”
Su Ming frowned, but he did not ask any questions. He then said to Teda, “Since that’s the case, let’s kill him first,”
As soon as he said that, Teda immediately raised his hand and was about to slash down.
“Wait!”
Teda’s blade stopped and he looked at Su Ming.
Su Ming shook his head at him and turned to look at the Dwarf leader.
“It seems that you already know what you should say.”
The Dwarf leader took a deep breath and said, “You despicable bastard! You let the Ghoul tribe destroy the environment here for so many years, and now you’re threatening me with the lives of my clansmen. I…I…”
The Dwarf leader’s expression was filled with unwillingness, but it eventually turned into a faint sigh.
“If you have anything to ask, just ask!”
At this time, even Teda noticed that something was wrong and frowned inexplicably.
However, Su Ming’s expression did not change. He said, “What’s your name?”
The Dwarf leader took a deep breath and said, “I’m Dylan,”
“You are the leader of the Dwarven tribe.”
“Yes, but to be exact, I’m the second leader. There’s also the great leader and the third leader.”
Su Ming quirked his eyebrows. “What’s the total population of your Dwarf tribe? ”
Dylan cast Su Ming a glance, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
“You should know that lying won’t do you any good.” Su Ming gave a timely reminder.
“Around 1100,” Dylan said, exhaling.
Su Ming nodded.
This answer was within his expectations.
The Dwarves and Elves had always been known for their weak reproductive abilities.
With a population of 1000, this Dwarf tribe could be considered to have developed quite well.
“One last question, why did you invade my fortress?”
Upon hearing this, Dylan’s expression turned into one of anger.
“Back then, you damned Ghoul tribes took away the valley we lived in and turned this place from a paradise into a barren valley in a short time. We endured it!
“But now, you still want to build a fortress here. Aren’t you trying to exterminate our Dwarven tribe? Of course, we can’t just sit and wait for death!
“I just didn’t expect that the noble Elves would actually fall to such a state!”
Dylan was furious, and the Dwarves around him looked like they had a common enemy.
Dylan’s words had revealed a lot of information.
That was why Su Ming was not too surprised by Dylan’s final answer.
He only glanced at Dylan indifferently and said, “We are not intruders, and the Ghouls are not my subordinates.
“On the contrary, the Ghouls in the valley have all been exterminated by us!
“Other than that, we have restored the valley to its former lively state.”
Upon hearing this, Dylan was stunned.
“No…impossible! How is this possible?”
“Whether it’s possible or not, won’t you know if you go and take a look for yourself?!” Su Ming said coldly.
Dylan’s expression changed and he cast Su Ming a glance.
This calm face revealed a persuasiveness that made people unconsciously want to believe in him.
“If you see what’s going on in the valley later and it’s really like what I said, you must apologize to the Elf Warriors!” Su Ming continued.
“Your invasion and verbal insult have deeply hurt them!”
