Bai En's heart was full of excitement and tension. They passed the mountain pass. Kaslov's land is displayed in front of them. He will see Angelique in a few hours. He felt more nervous than he was willing to admit. He had never been so nervous before the battle.

He didn't know if she would see him as happy as he saw her. He didn't know what she would say, what he would say, what she would wear. He shook his head. He knew he was acting like a student immersed in his crush, but he still couldn't control himself. It's been a long time since he has felt this way for anyone. Since-that person has passed away since then, it seems to have happened more than 20 years ago.

He put the telescope in front of his eyes and looked at the horizon, hoping to see the long hall for the first time, and saw what he thought was a mooring tower. Soon, he thought, soon.

"Look forward to coming back" said a voice beside him. Bane looked down at Warwick. The young dwarf looked at him with a disturbing look of hero worship. Bai En didn't know why. Warwick also experienced all the dangers faced by Gunter Grimbane, and also did his part to make their exploration a satisfactory result.

He has no reason to worship Bai En, but obviously he is. Warwick wore a leather helmet and flying goggles. Mackason taught him how to fly a gyroplane on his return journey. Bai En realized that he had just returned from the plane.

"The young Brian is of course." Snowry said. "Even Snowry can see it. He is going to see his 'female friend'."

Snowry blinked deliberately at Bai En. This is not a reassuring sight. Despite the bandages on Snowry, he was the only dwarf that Brian had seen more terrible than Grey Logan, and his injuries at Guntergrim did not improve his appearance.

Like Grey Logan, Snowry was also one of the oathbreakers who vowed to seek a heroic death in battle. Bai En himself thinks this may be a kind of cult among the dwarves, at least from the two most important points it shows-killing and death, it is undoubtedly a cult.

Like Guerrogan, his ape-like chunky body was covered with tattoos. However, unlike Guerrerogan, he nailed three nails directly into his shaved head, instead of holding a huge hair crown that protruded forward like an airship's head like Guerrerogan. Snowry is not the smartest dwarf, but as a dwarf, he is very friendly.

Bai En hasn't figured out what to do to become an oathbreaker, but judging from the three oathbreakers he met, they need to shave their beards and hair when they become oathbreakers. But in the subsequent problems of hair, it is a different treatment. In addition to Guerrero rooting a huge hair crown, there are only short whiskers for the dwarves. Mackason had short hair less than an inch, and a bearded beard. Snowry shaved all her hair and beard.

Bai En looked at Snowy again. Considering that the other party might have gone crazy, Bai En felt that there was no need to struggle with this issue. So he focused the telescope on the approaching manor. This is a bit strange. At first, he didn't know what it was, but slowly, he began to put his finger on it.

There were not enough people in the fields around it. In fact there is no one. There should be serfs, carts, labor, soldiers, sentries, riders with information coming and going. He turned his gaze to the horizon to make sure he was right. His heart beat faster. His palm suddenly sweated. There was an uncomfortable feeling in his stomach. Hope I was wrong. Is the evil force already here?

He whispered in the bottom of his heart, hoping that nothing happened to Angelique, and then added one for her father and others in the manor, but he was not sure his prayer would be answered. He carefully observed this long hall, and he could see the signs after the disaster.

It seems that the gate was forcibly opened with a siege hammer. There are traces of burning on the stone wall. Part of the fence has collapsed. All this disgustingly reminded him of the massacre after the castle was broken in the war.

"No, don't come again." He murmured.

"What's the matter, what do you see in humans?" Gray Rogan asked.

Bai En did not answer. The only thing that gave him hope was that he could not see any corpses. He was not sure if this was a promising sign. There are no signs of life here. Except for damage to buildings and fortifications, there are no signs of war. He thought there must be corpses, or at least signs of burial. He scanned the area frantically to see if there were crematoriums or pits. Maybe the mound over there is new.

"What do you see, humans?" Grerogan asked again. There is now a threatening tone in his voice.

"The Long Hall was attacked," Bai En said. He didn't know how to keep his voice steady, but he did. "It looks like everyone is gone."

"Disappearing out of thin air"

"It looks like this."

"I don't like it," Gray Logan said. "Sounds like a trap."

Bai En had to agree with the dwarf's judgment. The situation there was a bit wrong, he didn't like it at all. On the other hand, he was eager to know what happened to Angelica. Let her live, he prayed.

The airship was getting closer and closer to the long hall that looked desolate.

The Prophet Tangul watched the approaching airship through his periscope eyepiece. As usual, he was impressed with the dwarf creation, but he did not want to admit it. Such a large ship could fly, suggesting a magic stronger than his own. However, he knew that it was not magic but the dwarf's mysterious technology that kept this huge spaceship high.

He began to carefully chew some magic stone pieces sprinkled with spice powder, and he knew soon that he would need all the magic power it could give him. He felt a little weak. Last night, his magical duel with a human wizard almost exhausted all his power. This almost disrupted all his well-designed plans. Who would have thought of such a powerful mage among humans?

Despite this, Tanguer finally won, which is inevitable. The power of the devil ’s true servants can always overcome the weak magic of mankind, just like those justice ratman warriors finally succeeded in occupying the human fortress. Although they are only ten times larger than humans, when Tangul believes they have done this, they are full of pride. Even though the odds are so great, he can still win, which is a proper praise for his genius-like leadership.

They even captured some captives. Once this operation is over, these captives will undoubtedly become suitable objects for the experiment of the caster clan. Tangul felt painful at the thought that they did not have enough time to actually interrogate their captives. Nothing makes him feel more relaxed than tormenting several terrified humans according to his will ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ But he is still particularly happy to have this human wizard in his hands. The man was stunned by magic backlash while trying to dispel Tangul's last spell. Once he was awake and Tangul had enough time, he would torture the man to obtain the secret of his spell.

They even successfully captured some human breeders, which was an unexpected gain. The survivors were kept in the cellar. In addition to the youngest, Tangul ’s conjecture, they were also the most attractive breeders. He thought he could use them to lure human Beane and the dwarf Grerogan into a trap.

Even the time when the airship arrived seemed to benefit him. It was getting dark, which would help cover the troops ambushing in the buildings and cellars ready to attack the dwarves at any time. When Tangul saw the airship coming in the wind, he thought that Luck might be alive, maybe he could reach him. Tangul believes that since this is worth a try. It might be useful if there is a living agent working on what Tangul needs to do.

He decided he had better try it.
