From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 231 The Request of the Leader of the Black Iron Tribe

In the geothermal hall of Dili Fort, a three-meter-wide hole appeared on one side of the wall and the ground.

There used to be a quenching furnace there, but it is no longer there.

The stone door of the geothermal hall was also broken, and the rubble scattered around had been cleaned up by the Dark Iron Dwarves and piled next to the gate.

Lu Heng felt helpless when he saw this scene.

I didn't expect things to turn out like this.

It turned out that it was humans who stole the quenching furnace of the Dark Iron Tribe of Darkville. No wonder these Dark Iron dwarves are so hostile to humans.

The Dark Iron Dwarves encountered an invasion from the Abyss, and their situation was similar to that of the Bansel. After several centuries of migration, the tribe gradually declined and its population became smaller and smaller.

Although they still retained the forging and quenching techniques of the glorious era, many forging and quenching equipment were lost during the migration.

Now that the last quenching furnace is lost, it means that the quenching skills of the Darkville Black Iron Tribe will be lost.

As for rebuilding a quenching furnace, they no longer have the ability to do so.

……

This situation is also the uncertainty of the Abyss Battlefield recruitment.

Judging from the main quest released in the Abyss Battlefield, the quest is indeed guiding humans to help the Dark Iron Dwarves, but it is not mandatory.

In other words, the human mutants who were recruited had countless choices.

You can help the Dark Iron Dwarves, or you can help the Bloodborne Demons, or you can help neither side.

Of course, it is also possible to rob treasures from either party.

When the benefits are big enough, it is possible that the supernatural beings will rob the indigenous people.

Now it’s just a matter of stealing a quenching furnace, which is nothing compared to what a certain ethnic group did when they landed on the American continent.

After learning about the experience of the Black Iron Tribe, Lu Heng sat down to renegotiate with Darkwell.

Lu Heng made his position clear and expressed his willingness to help the Dark Iron Dwarves retake Blackrock City.

Although Darkville did not completely trust Lu Heng, at least the two sides could sit down and talk, indicating that there was still room for easing the situation.

"Captain Darkville, Master Gulu of Quenching Castle and I are very good friends. Before I came here, Master Gulu asked me to help him find his people and restore the glory of the Black Iron Tribe."

Lu Heng paused and continued, “My sword was forged by Master Guru, and I think the leader should be able to see that this is the unique forging technique of the Black Iron Tribe.

“The leader does not need to trust me completely right now. He just needs to put aside his prejudices temporarily and see how this group of humans perform.

“We will find a way to help the Dark Iron Tribe and retake Blackrock City. In this regard, our goals are the same.

“In addition, my team consists of three people, and I can guarantee that my team leader can be absolutely trusted.

“As for other humans, the leader should not completely let down his guard, but also should not chase them. Wait and see how they behave before making a decision.

“If they are willing to help the Dark Iron Dwarves attack the Bloodborn Demons in the Blackrock Mine, their chances of winning will be better.

“Put aside your prejudices for now. The Dark Iron Tribe will not suffer any other losses, but it is possible to gain help from humans and recapture Black Rock City.

"I think the leader should seriously consider my proposal. I believe this is the best time for the Dark Iron Tribe to retake Blackrock City."

Darkwill pondered, he knew very well that the Dark Iron Tribe was now in a situation where they were on the brink of extinction.

The three-year-long struggle is accelerating the decline of the Black Iron Tribe.

Over the past three years, the Dark Iron Tribe has been trying to attack Blackrock City in an attempt to take back their former home.

This situation could be reversed at any time once the blood demons turn from defense to offense and attack the Fortress of Silence.

Given the current weakness of the Fortress, it may not be able to withstand a round of attacks from the blood demons.

By that time, his Black Iron Tribe would either be destroyed or escape and migrate again, slowly completing the road to genocide.

He didn't want to see any of this.

Moreover, he still had a grudge in his heart that had not been avenged.

He is the leader of the Dark Iron Tribe of Darkvir. He inherited his father's name, so he is Darkvir III.

His father, Darkvir II, was once the leader of Blackrock City.

Their tribe had once shown signs of revival, as the Blackrock Mine contained rich mineral and geothermal resources, allowing them to forge more powerful weapons and enhance the tribe's combat effectiveness.

However, suddenly one day, the blood demon came and attacked Blackrock City.

His father, Darkwill II, died in the battle of Blackrock City. Without a backbone, the rest of the tribe fled Blackrock City and scattered around the country.

Black Rock City has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

He didn't understand how the blood demons captured Black Rock City.

Because on the night Blackrock City fell, he was not in Blackrock City, but was out carrying out a tribal mission.

By the time he learned the news and returned with his personal guards, the flag of the goat-headed blood demons had already been hung on Black Rock City.

When he learned that his father had died in Black Rock City, his eyes were filled with hatred.

However, he knew that he couldn't rush forward and die.

So he took his personal guards to search everywhere, gathered the escaped tribesmen together, and temporarily lived in Dili Fort, waiting for the opportunity to retake Black Stone City.

This battle between the Dark Iron Tribe and the Blood Demons lasted for three years.

If the current situation continues to develop, the Dark Iron Tribe will eventually be destroyed.

Darkville wanted to change all this, but he couldn't think of a better way. The Blood Demons occupied Blackrock City and the Blackrock Mine, which had the most resources and dangerous terrain.

The closest Darkville ever came to the center of Blackrock City was when he sneaked into Blackrock City with his elite troops through a tunnel dug through the Blackrock Mine.

That was also the time when we had the best chance to recapture Black Rock City, but we failed in the end.

That was two years ago.

Over the next two years, the Dark Iron Tribe just persisted blindly, seeing no hope of turning the situation around.

Now, there are two paths before Darkville: continue to fight against the blood demons until the Black Iron Tribe is completely wiped out.

The other option is to leave the Fortress of Silence, away from the lava plains, and find another place to recuperate.

Just like his grandfather Darkvir I.

His grandfather, Darkwill I, had led the Dark Iron Tribe to migrate to the Lava Plains and built the Blackrock City on the Blackrock Mine, which marked the tribe's revival.

That was the glory of the tribe. His father, Darkwill II, was also ambitious and wanted to continue the tribe's revival.

But that night, the blood demon descended and cut short the Black Iron Tribe's destiny of revival.

Now it's his turn.

He faces the same choice as his grandfather Darkville I: should he look for his next home?
He had no confidence because he was born on the lava plains, in the Black Rock Mines, and his roots were there.

He didn't know whether they could find a suitable place for the Dark Iron Tribe to settle down after leaving the lava plains.

He was also reluctant to leave here, because his grandfather was here, his father was here, and he... also wanted to stay here.

Therefore, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he wants to give it a try.

……

Lu Heng followed Darkwell, walked in the mural gallery of the Sharpening Castle, and listened to him tell the history of Darkwell's Black Iron Tribe.

This period of history was not long. From Darkwell I to him, it lasted almost a century.

Going further back is the even more ancient history of the Dark Iron Tribe.

That was the history when the abyss came and the Dark Iron Tribe split into several branches and began to migrate.

After listening carefully, Lu Heng said, “Captain Darkwell, I am willing to help you and do my best to help the Black Iron Tribe retake Black Stone City.

"This is also what Master Guru asked me to do. If there is a chance in the future, I will bring Master Guru to meet you."

Darkville now has only two choices: trust the humans in front of him and try again, or he can only leave the lava plain with his people and look for his next home in an unknown place.

He had no confidence that he could complete such an aimless tribal migration like his grandfather had done.

After an afternoon of contact, Darkwell also saw the sincerity in Lu Heng.

He is the leader of the tribe. Even in times of crisis, he can still have so many tribesmen stick around him. He must have some extraordinary qualities.

He felt Lu Heng's sincerity, so he made a decision.

"I am willing to believe you once, but you must show your sincerity. After all, you have done something that we cannot forgive." Darkwill made a request.

Lu Heng could tell that this was a pledge of allegiance, so he nodded and agreed, "Sure, are thirty bloodline demons enough?"

Darkwill shook his head and said, "I see that you have the ability to disguise yourself. In addition to disguising yourself as a Dark Iron Dwarf, can you disguise yourself as a Blood Devil?"

Lu Heng initially disguised himself as a Dark Iron Dwarf to sneak into Fortress, so Darkwill knew that Lu Heng had this ability.

"Yes, but it's dangerous."

Darkwill requested: "My father's ashes are still in Blackstone City, being abused by the blood demons. So, I hope you can enter Blackstone City and take back my father's ashes. If you can do it, you will gain the full trust of the Dark Iron Tribe."

After he finished speaking, the mission information appeared in front of Lu Heng.

[Trigger hidden mission: Darkville II's Ashes]

[Content: In the battle of the fall of Blackstone City, Darkville II died in Blackstone City and his ashes were left in Blackstone City. Darkville III hopes that you can enter Blackstone City and retrieve his father's ashes.]

[Reward: Darkville's Thank You Gift]

When Lu Heng saw the mission information, he knew that this was the fastest way to gain the trust of the Black Iron Tribe.

Although this mission is dangerous, the situation is rather troublesome now.

By completing this task, the situation can be restored to order as quickly as possible.

After Lu Heng thought for a while, he replied: "Okay, I promise you. But I have one condition."

"You said."

"During the time when I enter Black Rock City, I hope the Black Iron Tribe will not hunt down other humans for the time being. Of course, necessary vigilance must still be maintained. It can be considered a temporary ceasefire. Is that okay?" Lu Heng made a request.

This request is not too much.

Darkwill thought for a moment and agreed, "Yes, as long as you can get my father's ashes back, I am willing to reconcile with you."

"Okay, I'll take this task." Lu Heng agreed.

After the two sides reached an agreement, all human psychics recruited to the lava plains saw the changes in the mission information at the same time.

The first main mission, found some changes.

[1. Escape from the Darkville Black Iron Tribe. (Pause)]

This means that the Darkville Black Iron Tribe has temporarily stopped its hunt for human mutants. As to whether they will continue the hunt, it depends on how things develop.
