Chapter 264: Find the Leader of the Gnome Dwarves!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The awakening of the Black Dragon was something that the Dragon Castle had been looking forward to for a long time.

The entire Dragon Castle was celebrating!

Even the impending crisis was forgotten by the dragons.

This was because as long as the Lord of the Dragon Castle was present, there would be no risk. This was the absolute confidence in Mike.

However, as the Castle Lord of the Dragon Castle, Mike was heavy in thought.

There were still two days before the new species in the dragon nest could hatch.

However, the messenger’s message had clearly told Mike that the mechanical army controlled by the gnome dwarves was less than a day away from the edge of the Misty Forest.

As long as the army of mechanical devices entered the edge of the Misty Forest, they could use high-energy weapons to launch long-range attacks on the Dragon Castle.

This was the last thing Mike wanted.

Therefore, he sent out a special messenger. This was the castle’s butler, who selected the smartest guy among the many soldiers.

It was a giant gopher. It had almost the intelligence of a human, and its way of interacting with dragons was very similar. The giant gopher could use its senses to communicate with humans.

Then, after understanding Mike’s mission, the giant gopher left the Dragon Castle.

It was very difficult to find their leader among all the gnome dwarves, let alone get close to the leader.

Mike had no other choice but to take a gamble.

If he won, it would give the Dragon Castle some time to catch its breath. He only needed to delay for a day until a new creature was born from the dragon nest to resolve the crisis.

Just in case, Mike asked the butler to install a voice device on the giant gopher.

It was found in the corpse of the Anti-dragon Alliance, and it was a medical device used for communication.

Mike studied it for a while before he figured out how to use it.

As long as he recorded his words in the device, and then giant gopher could bring it to the gnome leader, the device would do the rest.

As for the gnome leader, whether he could agree to Mike’s request or not was up to fate.

While the Dragons were celebrating the awakening of the Black Dragon, Mike had already arrived at the tower of the castle ahead of time.

As the giant gopher left the Dragon Castle, Mike’s eyes were locked on the leaving gopher until he could no longer see it.

A few hours later, the sky began to darken. The Misty Forest was a dangerous area at night.

The giant gopher had a very high IQ. After leaving the Dragon Castle, it chose to go underground. Although it would be very slow, safety was the most important thing.

It was not afraid of being attacked by other beasts on the way.

After a long journey, the giant gopher arrived at the edge of the Misty Forest before daybreak.

Looking at the endless plains ahead, one could see a row of dazzling lights on the distant horizon.

These should be the lights emitted by the mechanical equipment army.

Looking from the position of the giant gopher, rows of lights connected into a line. It was like a laser beam, cutting the ground and the black sky.

This strange scene made the giant gopher freeze on the spot for a moment. Then, the giant gopher remembered that it still had a very important task to complete.

It had to bring the words of the master of the Dragon Castle, Mike, to the gnome leader.

The giant gopher rested on the spot for half an hour, replenishing enough food and water. Then, it burrowed into the ground again.

Unlike the dangers in the Misty Forest, it had to be even more careful now that she had entered the open plains.

Once it was discovered by those mechanical devices, the result would be that it would be torn into pieces by the high-energy attacks of the mechanical devices.

Before the giant gopher burrowed into the ground, it roughly measured the distance between itself and the mechanical devices.

If nothing went wrong, it would reach the machine army in about an hour.

In addition, the machine army was still moving forward, so the distance would be shortened.

The giant gopher decided that it would not rush out of the ground without finding the gnome leader.

It wanted to first find the gnome leader among the machine army.

The giant gopher could only find the leader of the gnome dwarves with its innate ability, which was its powerful sense of smell and hearing. With a little luck, it might be able to find the leader of the gnome dwarves without exposing itself.

One had to know that in the Otherworld, whether it was the natives or the soldiers that were produced, its innate ability brought with it powerful senses, and it could also communicate.

Those gnome dwarves would certainly communicate with each other, and the giant gopher could use this to find its target.

Time passed by, and the giant gopher had been traveling under the ground for more than half an hour.

According to its previous calculation, there should have been a mechanical device above the giant gopher.

That was because it had already heard the mechanical roar from the ground.

At the same time, there were also the voices of the gnome dwarves talking to each other.

The only thing that made the giant gopher feel regretful was that the noise produced by the mechanical device was very loud. It had to stop and listen carefully, or it might not be able to hear the gnomes over the noise of the machines.

“Haha, we will reach the edge of the Misty Forest in a few hours!”

“Then, we have to attack the walls of the Dragon Castle first. I believe that after our mechanical army fires a shot, the solid walls will be destroyed in an instant!”

“I can’t wait any longer. After we charge into the Dragon Castle, I will definitely go and snatch the treasures of the dragons!”

“Hmph, I’m afraid you won’t have the chance. Those dragon’s treasures belong to our leader!”

The giant gopher was below the ground, eavesdropping on the conversation between the gnome dwarves on the ground. Finally, it heard the mention of the gnome leader.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The giant gopher decided to act. It used its powerful sense of smell to lock onto the gnome dwarf who was going to find the leader.

Soon, the gnome dwarf walked for about a few thousand kilometers. The noise produced by the machinery here was actually not as loud. It should be the mechanical device that the gnome leader was riding on. It was clearly different from those ordinary mechanical devices, or perhaps it could be said that it was even more advanced.

In the next moment, the giant gopher hid below the ground and heard the conversation coming from above.

“Lord leader, we still have dozens of minutes to reach the edge of the Misty Forest!”

“Very good. Tell the vanguard army that once they reach the edge of the Misty Forest, immediately set up camp and wait for my next order!”

The time had come! The giant gopher knew that above its head was the leader of the gnome dwarves.

It began to move. It quickly drilled out of the ground and came to the surface.

It could see a strange-looking gnome dwarf sitting on an unusually large mechanical device, controlling it.

This should be the leader of the gnome dwarves.
