Chapter 19

When they saw the object that looked like Brian's warhammer, everyone was stunned.

Brian's face turned from red to white, then to green, and finally to purple, before he jumped up three feet high.

Brian roared, "Insult! They are insulting the honor of the people of the earth! Duel! I want to duel with them!"

It turned out that Brian's warhammer had been taken by Buck and the others and used as a leg for the kitchen stove, now covered in grease and soot.

Although Brian's warhammer was of Dwarven make and of quite good quality, Buck and the others did not use it as a weapon.

Why?

Because it was unsuitable.

Due to the difference in height and build, a Dwarven two-handed warhammer was about the same size as a human warrior's one-handed hammer, but it was not light at all, and due to the abundant materials used, it was even heavier than a human two-handed hammer. In the end, it was just a tasteless and regrettable chicken rib.

"Damn it! If they were still alive, I would make them taste the power of my storm warhammer!"

The enraged Brian pulled the warhammer out in a few quick movements and clutched it to his chest, heartbroken.

Elsa and the others beside him tried hard to suppress their laughter, their shoulders twitching uncontrollably, clearly finding Brian's reaction exaggerated.

It's just a warhammer, is it really worth making such a fuss?

Dun looked at the warhammer but didn't laugh.

Because the magical glow emanating from the warhammer was clear to see even without sensing it!

Dun sensed the warhammer and his heart skipped a beat, completely dumbfounded.

The Undying Warhammer of the King of the Mountains: A treasure-grade two-handed warhammer, limited to Dwarven royal bloodline, +500 Constitution, +600 Strength, 50% increased attack speed, 25% increased critical hit chance, 100% increased critical hit damage; King of the Mountains: Wielder is protected by the power of the earth, standing on the earth, stamina never runs out; Nis Claire's Blessing: Wielder standing on the earth, blessed by the Earth Goddess, all damage reduced by 50%.

This dirty, unrecognizable thing is actually a treasure-grade two-handed warhammer!?

And it's even limited to Dwarven royal bloodline!?

Dun rubbed his temples, he needed to calm down, the amount of information revealed was just too much...

Let's not even talk about the treasure-grade weapon, which is second only to artifacts, just the Dwarven royal bloodline limitation alone revealed a lot...

This chatterbox is actually a member of the Dwarven royal family!?

And such an important treasure, he just carried it around casually!?

Dun pinched his brow, his intuition told him that he seemed to have gotten involved in something big.

Elsa, suppressing her laughter, said, "Stop wiping it, it won't get clean here, let's go back and talk about it."

"Damn it, if that guy dares to show up in front of me, I'll make him know the power of the people of the earth!"

Brian cursed and slung the warhammer over his shoulder, patting Dun on the waist, "Brother, I'll take you as my friend, let's go for a drink when you have time, I'm off—"

Just as Brian was about to leave, Dun smiled.

It was rare to meet a Dwarf, and letting him go like this, how could he, the lord, continue to rule?

This guy was a rare talent, the starting point for Ellington's forging technology depended entirely on him.

"Please wait a moment."

Dun smiled and held Brian back, causing Brian's body to tremble, his feet sinking directly into the stone.

"My friend," Brian stared at Dun with wide eyes, "how can you be so strong!?"

Dwarves were known for their strength, but Brian never expected Dun to be even stronger!

Dun said nonchalantly, "It was just an accident."

"An accident? Are you kidding me?"

"Please don't mind these details, my friend, I know you want to kill the leader of these bandits, right?"

Brian replied without hesitation, "Yes!"

"Coincidentally."

Dun chuckled, "The leader of these bandits took a group of his men to my territory to cause trouble. We just killed the deputy leader here. If you want to duel with Buck, you can come back with us."

"Territory? You are a human lord?"

Brian looked at Dun suspiciously.

"What? Don't I look like one?"

Brian shook his head decisively, "No, you don't. I've seen human lords before, they all have big bellies and shiny faces. You're too thin, you look like you don't get enough to eat. Brother, why don't you join me? At least you'll be well-fed."

Dun was speechless and looked up at the sky.

Elsa giggled, "Uncle, you really got it wrong, he really is our lord!"

"Uncle!? Who are you calling uncle!?"

Brian immediately flew into a rage, "I'm only 108 years old! I've just come of age!"

108 years old... just come of age...

Dun and Elsa looked up at the sky in silence.

Elsa, "I really called you wrong..."

Dun nodded, "Yes, you should call him grandpa."

"Right, you should call him grandpa..."

"You're the grandpa! Your whole family is grandpa!"

Dun ignored Brian's anger and said, "Wait outside for a moment, I'll wrap things up here, and then we'll go back to Ellington to settle accounts with Buck."

As Brian muttered "grandpa" and walked away, Dun turned to Elsa, "Did you find it?"

"I found it!"

Elsa's eyes sparkled, "I've never seen so many gold coins in my life!"

"Let's go, these gold coins now belong to Ellington."

Dun smiled, "Don't worry, after we return, they will quickly be distributed to others through other channels. I won't monopolize them."

Elsa blushed, a bit shy, as Dun had guessed her thoughts.

When they entered the bandits' treasure room, they saw rows of already opened chests, filled with copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins!

The coins in the chests reflected the light of the torches, making the entire cave glow golden.

"I did a rough count, there must be at least 100,000 coins here!"

Elsa took a deep breath, "Over the years, the gold coins stolen from Ellington far exceed this amount."

"Of course, some of the gold coins were taken by Hog."

Dun grabbed a handful of gold coins. With this money, he now had over 200,000 gold coins to use, which, although not comparable to other territories, was enough to start changing Ellington.

Elsa said, "There are too many and too heavy gold coins. Even with me, it would take a long time to move them in batches. What should we do?"

"Leave it to me."

Dun waved his hand lightly, and a distorted passage opened in front of him, sucking all the chests into it.

Elsa was shocked, "What is this!?"

"Don't forget, I'm an alchemist. Spatial equipment is nothing to me."

Dun smiled faintly and emptied the entire treasure room in an instant.

"But... but..."

Elsa looked troubled, vaguely remembering her father mentioning spatial equipment before, but she couldn't recall the details.

"Let's go, it's time to settle accounts with Buck."

Dun turned and left, and after a moment of hesitation, Elsa followed.

Outside, the guard had already piled up and set fire to the bandits' bodies, but each body was missing an ear.

Earlier, Dun had seen that cutting off heads one by one after killing the bandits was too time-consuming, so he had them cut off ears to count.

Dun stood in front of them, "Tell me, did you enjoy today's battle!?"

"Enjoyed it!"

"How does it feel to avenge your loved ones and defend your home?"

"Awesome!"

"But now, I have to tell you, these bandits are only half of them."

Dun poured cold water on them, and the excited faces of the men turned blank.

"独眼巴克，也就是这群山贼的首领，他在我们来到这里的时候，带了上百名山贼，去埃灵顿了！"

"什么！？"

"该死的——埃灵顿现在可没人防守啊！"

"领主大人！我们赶快回去吧！"

唐恩双手压了压："我知道你们很焦急，我也同样很焦急，但越是这种时候，我们就越应该冷静。"

一阵冷风吹过，慌乱的脚步声，嘈杂的争吵声逐渐平息，他们脸上的表情逐渐平静了下来。

"没错，只有冷静下来，我们才能在战斗中胜利。"

"现在，在我们出发之前，告诉我，你们有没有信心，从巴克的手中保护好埃灵顿？"

"有！！！"

"很好，我们胜得了一次，就能胜得了第二次。"

唐恩一握拳："现在，整理好自己的行装，埃灵顿，正等着我们回去拯救！"

警卫队一个个握紧了手中的武器，刚刚熄灭的战意再一次涌出。

"返程！"

唐恩大手一挥，部队踏上了返程的道路。

回去的路上，所有人都加快了脚步，在唐恩的暗中帮助下，速度更加迅速了。

他们甚至比唐恩更加着急，因为此刻的埃灵顿，很可能正在遭受巴克的怒火，早回去一刻，就会早救下一个人，晚回去一刻，很可能自己的亲人就会惨死在巴克的屠刀之下。

部队无人说话，只是闭着嘴巴，目光坚定地望着前方，跟随着前面那个背影。

是他，带领着他们获得了一场史无前例的胜利。

是他，带领着他们站起来反抗山贼的压迫。

也是他，将会为埃灵顿带来更加幸福的生活。

只是看着那个背影，就会给他们带来无穷无尽的勇气，伤口不再疼痛，四肢不再疲惫。

此刻的他们，如同一支战无不胜、无坚不摧的精英部队！

埃灵顿，是我们的家园！

破坏我们的家园，就是我们的敌人！

消灭敌人！守卫家园！

此刻，所有人的思绪全部汇在一起，形成了一股强大的信念，冲天而起！
