The first wave of the Storm Legion’s attack was repelled, and they were temporarily unable to find an effective way to deal with the various war machines of the Black Iron Dwarves.

Now, the two leading Storm Giants were furious, and a group of high-ranking monsters in the legion shrank back trembling, afraid to speak.

The Mountain Dwarves seemed to be wearing a slightly malicious smile on their faces.

However, the situation was not very optimistic for the Black Iron Dwarves either.

After all, Red Copper Castle was not their long-cultivated Black Iron Field, and the supplies inside were limited, mainly the lack of reserves for various war machines to consume.

If there were just a few more battles like the one just now, their arrows and ammunition would run out.

By then, the Black Iron Dwarves would either have to choose close combat with the Storm Legion or give up Red Copper Castle.

And the root of this battle was also the most precious spoil of the Black Iron Dwarves.

The Fire Forge Furnace was not something that could be taken away casually.

Dain and Ebik were now standing not far from the Fire Forge Furnace, their brows furrowed, clearly under great pressure.

The Fire Forge Furnace, which sounds like a forge for forging, was actually a processed volcanic core.

Back when the Three Hammer Alliance still existed, which was the peak of the dwarves, each of the three major dwarf forces even had a legendary powerhouse.

The Fire Forge Furnace was a product they made together, compressing the core of a volcano and sealing it inside Red Copper Castle.

The origin of the Fire Forge Furnace was, in fact, no different from the Sulfur Mountains, with volcanoes all around the Red Copper Castle, which bordered the Sulfur Mountains.

In other words, it was originally part of the Sulfur Mountains and became what it is today after losing its volcanic core.

Even though the volcanic core had been compressed by the legendary strength of the dwarf ancestors, it was still frighteningly large.

With its size and brightness alone, it could almost light up the entire Red Copper Castle, and it was not something that could be taken away by mortal power.

Although the first battle was a victory, both Dain and Ebik knew that with their own strength, there was a high chance that they would not be able to defend Red Copper Castle.

If it was just the Mountain Dwarves, the Black Iron Dwarves, who were good at forging war machines, could easily defend themselves, provided they had enough resources and supplies.

But after the addition of so many miscellaneous monsters and giants, the situation had changed completely.

When the necessary reserves were depleted, they held a pessimistic attitude towards the upcoming melee battle.

After a long silence, Dain finally spoke first, “Perhaps it’s time to seek help from the Land of the Soaring Dragon…”

The King of Black Iron said lightly, “What do you think is the relationship between us and that Silver Dragon?”

After thinking for a moment, Dain asked, “Collaborators?”

He wasn’t naive enough to truly regard the relationship between the two as that of friends.

Ebik nodded, “Yes, collaborators. But cooperation is based on common interests. After some time together, I found something very important.

The Silver Dragon is very similar to us, neither evil nor good. Its actions are based on whether they are beneficial to it or not.”

“Don’t we have common interests now?”

Dain looked at Ebik in confusion, sensing that his elder brother seemed to be worried about something.

Ebik shook his head, “Although that’s true, what if he could get more?”

“What do you mean?”

Dain seemed a bit confused.

“Our ‘friend’ seems very cautious. In the Land of the Soaring Dragon, there seems to be something called a ‘Blood Covenant’. I heard that this thing takes effect directly in your soul, making it impossible for you to have any harmful thoughts towards him.”

Upon hearing this, Dain felt that he understood.

If the attack was only from the Mountain Dwarves, Otto would have been more than happy to send the Soaring Dragon Legion to assist the Black Iron Dwarves in defending Red Copper Castle.

But if it had only been that, the Black Iron Dwarves could have handled it themselves, and the help of the Soaring Dragon Legion would have just been a favor.

However, this was completely different now, because with the help of the Storm Legion, even if the Black Iron Dwarves repelled the enemy’s first attack, anyone with sharp eyes could see the danger they were facing.

If they could not get the help of the Soaring Dragon Legion, they would either be defeated or abandon Red Copper Castle and flee back to the Black Iron Field.

And if they wanted the help of the Soaring Dragon Legion, they would have to offer something valuable, and that Blood Covenant Ebik mentioned seemed like a likely option.

“So, does Otto want to turn the Black Iron Dwarves into his followers as well?” Dain found it difficult to accept for a moment.

But Ebik just laughed, “Why, don’t you have any ideas about the scales on his body?”

For the dwarves, besides minerals, the scales of a dragon were also excellent forging materials.

Hearing this, Dain immediately gave an embarrassed laugh.

From the beginning, the cooperation between the Black Iron Dwarves and the Land of the Soaring Dragon was based on the common goal of destroying the Red Copper Dwarves.

If it hadn’t been for the novelty of the Goblin Green Burst later, the Black Iron Dwarves might have lost interest in the Land of the Soaring Dragon already.

Friendship, what a feeble relational term.

“At worst, just forget about the Fire Forge Furnace! Without the Fire Forging Skill, even if the Mountain Dwarves have the Fire Forge Furnace, they won’t be able to do much!”

Ebik shook his head, “Don’t let anger cloud your judgment. You haven’t thought about the worst-case scenario. What if that Silver Dragon turns against us and chooses to be friends with the Mountain Dwarves or the power behind them?

What then?”

“How could that be possible…”

Dain stopped halfway through what he was saying and closed his mouth.

Whatever the Black Iron Dwarves could give, the Mountain Dwarves could also give.

More importantly, if the Black Iron Dwarves were to perish like the Red Copper Dwarves, their legacy would inevitably be inherited by the Mountain Dwarves.

At this point, the Black Iron Dwarves were already struggling enough to deal with the Storm Legion, and if the Soaring Dragon Legion were to join in too…

What happened to Red Copper Castle today would be the future of the Black Iron Field!

Thinking about it this way, it seemed that the options for the Black Iron Dwarves were becoming very limited.

Either submit to Otto or face destruction…

Perhaps they could also choose to submit to the power behind the Mountain Dwarves, but that didn’t seem much different.

“Tomorrow!”

Ebik suddenly said with a solemn face, “If the situation continues to deteriorate tomorrow, then we will completely lean on the Land of the Soaring Dragon. At least, the followers under his hand are living quite well…”

Dain remained silent, his face cold, and directly left to command the Black Iron Dwarves to prepare for the next battle’s material reserves.

Everything now depended on tomorrow!
