YM778.TV Chapter 29
“Three, two, one, push!”
It took every ounce of strength the Dwarfs had to work together to throw the Dwarf Prince onto the trailer.
The Dwarf in the lead leaned on his cane and nodded and bowed to the Human General.
“Sir, look, we’ve already done as you asked!”
“Very well.”
The Human General waved his hand at the Dwarfs.
“You can go now.”
After saying this, the General turned to look at his subordinates behind him.
“All troops, listen up. Retreat immediately!”
The General waved the reins in his hand, and the horse under him immediately turned around. The others in the army also turned around.
Seeing the Human army leave, the Dwarfs heaved a sigh of relief.
...
“Sister, do you think Humans will keep their promises?”
Ai Qing frowned and looked at the army that was about to leave.
The Human General’s gaze looked strange.
It doesn’t look like he would not let them go so easily.
“How is that possible, sister?”
Moon Bell covered her mouth and laughed.
“With such powerful benefits, Humans will definitely not let the Dwarfs off.”
“Just wait and see.”
...
Not long after the Human General retreated with the army, he immediately grabbed the reins and turned to look at the gathering place of the Dwarfs.
“Soldiers, listen up. Turn around now and let’s kill all the Dwarfs just now!”
“But...”
The Human soldier looked at the General in confusion and asked carefully.
“Didn’t you just promise to let them go?”
The General snorted disdainfully.
“That’s what I promised before. What does it have to do with me now?”
The Human General raised his eyebrows.
This little soldier really didn’t know how to do anything!
A Dwarf’s head was worth three gold coins. How could he let them go so easily?
He pulled the reins, turned around, and led the army towards the gathering place of the Dwarfs.
The rumble of hooves reverberated across the wasteland
The Dwarfs who had just fallen asleep woke up.
“What’s going on?”
The Dwarfs walked out of the ruined shanty in a panic.
In the distance, a group of small black dots was charging towards them.
The Dwarf elder trembled as he leaned on his walking stick and narrowed his eyes to look into the distance.
“Is that... the Human army?”
“But shouldn’t they have left already?”
The tall, thin Dwarf frowned.
“We just handed the Prince over to them. Why are they back now?”
Don’t think too much about it. The Dwarf Elder slapped the tall and thin Dwarf hard.
“Go inform the others to pack up their belongings and run now!”
“Yes, Elder!”
“Get up! The Human army is here!!”
As soon as the Dwarf called out, the other Dwarfs in the other shacks were called out.
They quickly grabbed their most precious items and fled towards the forest in the distance.
The General frowned.
“Trying to escape? No way!”
“Archers, fire!”
In an instant, the archers behind the General drew their bows and nocked arrows.
In just an instant, the arrows shot towards the fleeing Dwarfs in the distance.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Before the Dwarfs could escape, they were covered in arrows and fell to the ground.
“Who else dares to escape will end up like them!”
When the remaining Dwarfs saw their companions end up like this, they did not dare to escape even more.
They each hid in a small corner of the shack, their bodies trembling in fear.
“Let’s go. All of you, go up one by one and cut down all their shacks. Kill the Dwarfs if you see them!”
“Yessir.”
The surrounding Human soldiers immediately stepped forward and waved the swords in their hands. In just a few moves, they cut the branch shed that the Dwarfs had painstakingly built into pieces.
“Please, please don’t kill me.”
The young Dwarf looked at them in fear and covered himself with a tattered blanket.
“I’m willing to be your slave for the rest of my life!”
Before he could finish speaking, the Human soldier beside him waved his sword impatiently.
The Dwarf’s head instantly fell to the ground.
‘We don’t need a nasty Dwarf slave.’
The soldier’s eyes gleamed with greed.
A Dwarf’s head could be exchanged for three gold coins.
They had joined the army for so many years, but the money they had saved up was not even three gold coins!
This was really a good deal.
“Help, help!”
The peasant woman hugged her child and cowered in her shack. The screams of the Dwarfs came from around her, making her even more afraid.
However, she had nowhere to run.
Almost all the people who escaped were eliminated by the archers of the Human army
The peasant woman’s heart was in a mess. She could only hide in the pit that she had dug in advance with her children.
As long as they didn’t make a sound, those Humans shouldn’t be able to sense them...
“Mom, I’m so thirsty...”
The little girl in the hole breathed with difficulty. Although she had eaten something today, she was still rather dispirited.
“Shh, be quiet. When they leave, I’ll find something for you to eat...”
The woman rocked the swaddled child as she comforted the other little girl.
Hopefully, the loud noise just now would not wake up the swaddled child.
“Rip-!”
The Human soldiers tore through the layer of bark covering the shed.
“Come and check this room to see if there’s anyone inside. Don’t let them go!”
“Yes, sir.”
The soldier walked into the shack to take a closer look.
“There doesn’t seem to be anyone here.”
There was no sign of anyone on the bed or anywhere else.
“That’s impossible. Those Dwarfs basically stay in their camps at night!”
“And no one just ran out of this shack.”
“There must be someone here!”
One of the soldiers walked to the side of the bed and reached under the tattered blanket.
“Moreover, there’s still warmth in this blanket. They must have just hidden.”
“You, check that water tank over there!”
“You, check that bamboo basket over there!”
“Yes, sir!”
The two soldiers immediately nodded and went in the direction he requested.
The soldier waved the sword in his hand and slashed everything in his sight.
The pottery bowl fell to the ground with a clang.
The child in the farmer’s wife’s arms opened his black eyes and looked outside in panic.
“Boohoo...”
The child opened his mouth wide and was about to cry.
The farmer’s wife immediately covered the child’s mouth nervously and pressed him tightly against her chest, swaying slightly.
“Baby, be good. Baby, be good. Don’t cry...”
The footsteps outside suddenly stopped.
“There don’t seem to be any Dwarfs in this place. It looks like they went out early in the morning.”
‘Well, let’s go, then. An early search of the other tents.’
The footsteps gradually faded away.
Only then did the farmer’s wife heave a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a sharp sword pierced through the blanket covering the three of them!
“Sir, just as you said, these Dwarfs are hiding here!”
