The Age of Machines

Chapter 368 Entering the Horde
Dill didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be confronted with weapons by the barbarians.

The race that is maintained with life and dignity, in the end, is still humiliated and abandoned.They never trusted the dwarves, they only trusted the power in their blood.

"Golmud, what are you doing?"

Dill raised his head with difficulty and looked at the man on the tower, his tone seemed calm but contained a storm.

There was a flash of hesitation on Golmud's face, guilt and even a trace of intolerance.He was a warrior of the barbarians, a loyal tribal warrior.As long as the elders give orders, he must obey them, and hereby prevent foreigners from entering their tribe.

"If foreigners insist on entering, then they will be shot and killed. Even if Dill is there, we must kill them together."

The elder's words kept repeating in his mind, but Dill was the most respectable person in the tribe.He once protected the barbarians to escape here, and led the dwarves to protect them for decades.

Although he is old now, he still deserves his respect.He couldn't do it against Dill, but he couldn't do it against the elder's order.

"I...Master Dill, please back away. These people cannot enter the tribe!" The arrow pointed directly at Beixi and the others, with a murderous tone in his tone.

He spoke in a barbaric language, and Beixi and the others couldn't understand it. It could be seen that his murderous intent emerged, and he also understood the meaning of that sentence.

"They are my guests! Who told you to do this? Greens, or Li Ren?" Dill replied in barbaric language.

Everyone heard his dissatisfaction in his tone, and there was a hint of anger, guessing the conversation between the two.

The man looked hesitant, and said: "Master Dill, please don't embarrass me." Seeing him like this, Dill snorted coldly, "Is it Greens?"

As if Dill had guessed it, the man's face changed, and he was about to shoot an arrow with his bow.

"Golmud." A deep voice came from below. Golmud was shocked. He lowered his head to look at the person, quickly retracted his weapon and jumped down the tower, then knelt at the feet of the man in black, looking pious.

"Patriarch."

"Let them in." The man in black said.

"But..." Golmud obviously hesitated.

The man in black raised his eyebrows, and asked calmly, "Who is the biggest in this clan?"

Golmud trembled all over, lowered his head and said without hesitation: "Of course it is the patriarch."

"Open the door."

"Yes." Golmud got up, walked to the closed gate and pulled the huge metal gate open with both hands, his strength can be called brute force.

When the door opened, Dill turned back and said to Beixi and the others in Continental: "Follow me closely, and I will protect you no matter what happens."

Putting it this way, everyone felt that going in was like going to die.

Following Dill slowly into the door, the system's prompt sounded in his ears.

Ding, you have entered the barbarian tribe.This race respects power, and the inherited blood makes everyone in the race have strange powers. It has always been not very kind to foreigners, so please be careful.

Seeing that Dill had come to him, the man in black bowed down and shouted respectfully, "Mr. Dill."

When Beixi saw this person, he knew it was Li Ren without the system prompting.

She has met the current patriarch of the barbarian tribe before.

Dill didn't answer him, and walked away across the diameter of the man.Bei Xi, who was following Dill, looked Li Ren up and down, thinking about the task reminder to ask them to come to him, but their friendship was zero, and now the mission process is a little different because of Dill's friendship.

To be on the safe side, it's better not to have a conversation just yet.

Xiang Li Ren nodded politely and followed Dill away.The group of people behind also thought about the current situation, no one spoke, and followed the two people in front of them into the tribe.

Most of the barbarian tribes mainly use tents, and some of them build wooden houses around the tents, which is the place where only those with status among the barbarians can live.Walking on the path paved with stones, people from the surrounding barbarians looked at me, malicious, curious, doubtful... of all kinds.

Walking into the depths of the tribe, everyone discovered that the tribe was not very big.After turning a corner, Dill came to a small open space.The open space is surrounded by thatched cottages of various styles, ranging from large to small, with the largest no higher than 3 meters and the smallest no lower than half a meter.The dwarf clan can be regarded as close relatives of the dwarf clan, and several people speculated that the biggest one must be for the patriarch.

It's just that compared to the residence of the barbarians, the residence of the dwarves looks shabby.

The door of the big thatched hut in the middle was opened, and the young Dill's replica came out.It was very surprising to see the familiar old man directly opposite, followed by an outsider whom he had never seen before.

"Grandpa Dill, where have you been?" Asking like this, he walked to his side and supported Dill.

"Gulu, these are guests."

While talking, a group of people entered the simple thatched cottage.

After taking his seat, Dill looked at the crowd and said apologetically, "The place is a little small, I hope you don't mind too much."

"will not."

Ding, please continue the conversation with Dill.

As soon as they received the notification from the system, they heard Dill sigh and said, "I'm going to show you a joke. The bloodline contract has been weakening in recent years, and Greens' defense against us is also gradually deepening."

"Who is Greens?"

"The great elder of the barbarians." Gulu interjected as he came over with a cup of tea.Putting plain cups in front of everyone one by one, he said with a blank face: "Since most of the barbarians died in the previous war, few barbarians with high blood have survived. Back then, the barbarians shared Of the seven elders, only the Great Elder survives. Without pure blood, the power of the contract is loosening, and their barbarian strength is also weakening."

"The previous war?"

Gulu looked at Dill, put down the teapot, walked to the door and looked around through the gap, and then lit the oil lamp next to him.After doing all these actions before returning to the crowd, Dill also slowly said: "It is the battle caused by the betrayal of the high priest."

"The other six elders were killed by the High Priest?" Lollipop felt that the death of the High Priest was not too regrettable, and at least he took away a few precious lives of the Betrayer Alliance...

Dill shook his head, no.

"It was Urlin who killed it."

Urlin, this woman they know, is the chief witch under the command of the high priest.A few people were a little surprised when Dill mentioned her name. Could it be that she is still a loyal elder witch?
Considering the behavior of the green lizard before, everyone could not help guessing that Urlin was also a member of the Betrayer Alliance. Now that Dill said this, they felt that the truth of the story behind the Great Desolation became even more confusing.

"Speaking of which, why do they all betray the high priest?" Lollipop asked the doubt that had been in his heart for a long time.

Knowing that they can't fight against the gods, they still have to choose a dead end. What is the reason why the barbarians betrayed them regardless of everything, but in the end they only got the annihilation of their race?
