But that was more than two hundred years ago.

If it were a human kingdom, some human kingdoms might have undergone regime changes already.

The now-vanished Vide Kingdom serves as a prime example.

“I don’t know about that, but I have sent away the messenger of the Silver

Dragon.

Well, it was an ugly Hawkman, which you should know.”

Witte’s expression remained unchanged, but at the time he mentioned, the Mountain Dwarves had already submitted fully to Storm Titan Lars Lait.

Back then, Tatum had blasted open the gates of the Mountain Castle with a lightning spear, and faced with the endless monster army, he chose to surrender decisively.

What’s more, he was under constant surveillance by elders of the Mountain Dwarves and the Storm Legion.

From then on, regardless of the questions Tatum posed to Witte, the latter was almost always in a state of ignorance, or just casually trying to deceive him with nonsense.

Storm Giants were unlike ordinary monsters—besides being more irritable, their intelligence even surpassed that of most humanoid creatures.

So naturally, he could easily see that the short, chubby dwarf in front of him was trying to deceive him.

“Boom!”

With a loud noise, Tatum held a javelin formed out of thunderous lightning in his hand.

He sneered at Witte, “Don’t be so brazen just because my master needs you to forge some things. Maybe you haven’t realized it, but what my master needs is not you, but a dwarf who knows the art of Fire Forging.”

The Storm Giant crouched in front of the Mountain King Witte, and his lightning spear stabbed into the ground next to him.

Countless electric sparks jumped, blasting their skin and producing a numb, painful sensation.

Tatum sneered, “And that dwarf isn’t necessarily you, is it?

Although killing you might cause some trouble, I believe your Grand Elder would be more than happy to take your place soon.

And if that stubborn old man disagrees, there’s always the second and third elders, as well as ordinary Mountain Dwarves…”

As Tatum continued talking, his expression became even colder: “Of course, if there were no Mountain Dwarves left, I wouldn’t mind replacing them with Black Iron Dwarves.

Even if there were no living dwarves left in the Sky Mountains, we could still purchase some of your distant cousins from Black Gold City…”

The mental defenses of Mountain King Witte finally collapsed, as he recalled the scene of this giant forcibly opening the gates of Mountain Castle with a lightning spear.

So, he immediately became much more compliant, answering every question to the best of his ability.

Although he had lost his freedom now, he was still the Mountain King. He could not bear to lose this privilege, let alone face death outright.

However, either way, his knowledge of the Soaring Dragon Legion was indeed scarce, and even if he was willing to cooperate, Tatum could not get the answers he wanted from him.

As a result, Tatum felt very helpless, because Witte did not seem to be lying.

To be honest, at the beginning, he had not taken the Black Iron Dwarves seriously.

In his view, these black-bearded dwarves were just like the Mountain Dwarves, and he could easily defeat them if he casually intimidated them.

But when he finally made his move, he found out that these scoundrels were surprisingly tough and not as craven as the Mountain Dwarves.

By the time the battle finally showed some hope, the Soaring Dragon Legion appeared out of nowhere.

Thinking about this, the frustrated Tatum started pacing around the surrounding area, contemplating his strategy.

If they could not deal with the flying monsters on the opposing side, the Storm Legion would always be in a passive position of being attacked.

Could it be that they, like these past three days, used their lives as the price to exhaust the enemy’s war reserves?

There could hardly be a more foolish approach than this.

Even the large and established Storm Legion could not withstand such consumption.

Moreover, who knew whether the battle reserves of the Soaring Dragon Legion were as scarce as those of the Black Iron Dwarves…

“No choice but to continue begging my master for reinforcements!”

After a long time, Tatum could only think of one solution.

Kana, the female Storm Giant beside him, looked worriedly at him and said, “We have begged our master twice already to continue sending reinforcements in the last few days. Counting this time, it will be our third request. I’m concerned…”

Tatum naturally knew what she was worried about, but compared to that, failing the mission and returning in disgrace would make their master even angrier.

Another day passed, and the reinforcements Tatum had requested from Lars Lait arrived.

They were over a dozen giant birds and hundreds of strange-looking giant birds, the offspring of cross-breeding between birds of prey and Peng birds.

As for the Peng birds, they looked like an oversized version of ordinary birds of prey. They were created by Annan, the father of giants in the first century, to challenge the dominance of dragons in the sky. But now, Peng birds have broken free from the control of giants.

Sometimes, they would hunt giants, but there were still some giants and Titans who continued to domesticate a small number of Peng birds.

Storm Titan Lars Lait was one such example. Peng birds rarely mated voluntarily, and Lait had put in a lot of effort to achieve their current scale.

Though created to fight dragons, under normal circumstances, adult Peng birds were much weaker than the so-called White Dragons, the disgrace of the dragon clans.

If there wasn’t a giant on their backs, they would never be a match for the powerful dragons in aerial combat.

However, if their opponents were a group of Chimeras, they would be more than sufficient.

Just as Tatum was almost sure of victory, a Fire Giant jumped off a Peng bird and brought a message from Storm Titan Lars Lait.

In a nutshell, if Tatum fails to obtain what Lait wants by the end of the day, Lait would personally intervene.

If it came to that, Tatum’s life could be considered to have reached its end.

So to put it bluntly, there are only two paths before him:

Earn his master’s favor by obtaining what he wants, or die on the battlefield, as Lait would tear him to shreds afterward.

Understanding this, Tatum did not dawdle in leading some giants on Peng birds.

For the other giant birds, few of them could bear the weight of giants due to their varying qualities.

Serving as cannon fodder, the miscellaneous monsters were driven madly towards Red Copper Castle by the giants.

As Tatum had expected, dozens of Chimeras and even more Giant Eagles soon soared into the sky from the direction of the Sulfur Mountains.

“And so, our hunt begins!”

Tatum roared loudly as he swiftly mounted a Peng bird and soared into the sky.

His wife Kana followed closely behind, accompanied by several Stone Giants and the newly arrived Fire Giant.

The Soaring Dragon Legion’s bombing squad had just released their explosive balls when they made contact with the Peng birds and giants..
