Chapter 292 Silver Gate
Roland could also understand the anger of the silver dwarves.
Therefore, after extending his senses and confirming the general situation at the door, Roland ordered an attack. In order to let the silver dwarf soldiers vent their anger, Roland also let them take the lead.
After receiving the order, the three thousand silver dwarf soldiers rushed forward one by one.
Although the average height of dwarves is much lower than that of green-skinned orcs, as legion soldiers who have received basic military training from the committee, practiced breathing techniques, and are equipped with a complete set of weapons and equipment, the silver dwarves are a bit short, but they are still strong.
The dozen or so green-skinned orcs at the door were no match for them at all and were smashed into mud by the furious silver dwarves' hammers.
Then, under Roland's order, the silver dwarves who were familiar with the internal environment entered the city wall and attacked the green-skinned orcs roaming around nearby.
Since the greenskin tribe had never expected that anyone would counterattack, there were no defenders at the gate, only a few greenskin orcs wandering outside.
Therefore, Roland and his group easily occupied the gate.
After occupying the only gate of the Silver Gate on the surface, Roland quickly cast a spell and simply repaired the gap in the city wall with ordinary mud, while the Silver Dwarves skillfully activated the city gate mechanism and closed the gate again.
After doing all this, Roland and his team locked up all the greenskins in the Silver Gate.
Although the Silver Gate has many underground passages connecting to the outside world in addition to the surface passages, these underground passages were dug and built according to the standards of the Silver Dwarves, and at most can only allow ordinary humans to move around.
It is basically impossible for large creatures like the green-skinned orcs to travel through underground passages.
However, this is not absolute. If you take the Dragon Ridge Tunnel dug by the Kingdom of Clans, it is still possible.
Compared to the underground tunnel dug by the Silver Clan themselves, the Dragon Spine Tunnel dug by the Clan Kingdom can be said to be quite spacious, fully capable of accommodating the activities of a large number of greenskin orcs.
The only problem is that after the collapse of the Clan Kingdom, the bloody and unscrupulous civil war between the clans made the Dragon Ridge Pass extremely dangerous. No one knows whether there will be traps set by any clan in these passages.
Moreover, after the devastation of the civil war, the Dragon Ridge Passage has collapsed everywhere, making it difficult to determine where the passage leads to.
Even the silver dwarves can only explore cautiously, let alone the green-skinned orcs. Going in is basically seeking death. Unless you are extremely lucky, you will definitely die.
Therefore, after controlling the gate on the surface, Roland did not waste time controlling and blocking these Dragon Ridge passages.
Instead, after leaving two thousand human soldiers to guard the gate, he led the army to massacre the green-skinned orcs on the surface of the Silver Gate.
Driven by hatred, three thousand Silver Dwarf soldiers burst out with tremendous enthusiasm and motivation, and launched a heavy attack on the greenskin tribe entrenched on the surface of the Silver Gate.
Three thousand silver dwarves killed even more green-skinned orcs than eight thousand human soldiers.
Moreover, the green-skinned orcs killed by the silver dwarves basically had their heads blown off. After clearing an area, Roland was not in a hurry to continue clearing out the green-skinned orcs in the Silver Gate, but instead found a place to set up camp first.
After all, the Silver Gate is very large and there are quite a few green-skinned orcs. It would take more than a day or two to clean them all out.
Moreover, Roland's main purpose of coming to the Silver Gate this time was not to clean up the green-skinned orcs.
If Roland really wanted to fight the green-skinned orcs, he would not waste time fighting several green-skinned tribes. If he wanted to fight, he should at least choose a green-skinned warlord, right?
After setting up camp, Roland handed over the command and took a dozen spellcasters including Hela and thirty silver dwarf soldiers, and entered the underground of the dwarf territory through the stairs connected to the underground by the Silver Gate.
Since the Silver Gate was occupied by the green orcs for several years, the lights on the stairs disappeared due to lack of maintenance. Therefore, only a few spellcasters, each dragging a ball of light, can illuminate the surrounding environment.
Going down the stairs, Roland and his group arrived at the basement level.
Although the underground level is the closest to the surface, after the bloody civil war ended and the Silver Dwarves entered the Dark Ages, there was a gap in their knowledge.
Therefore, although the underground first floor was excavated and built by the dwarves, the Silver Dwarves' knowledge and understanding of the underground first floor is relatively limited. Even after so many years of exploration, the Silver Dwarves have only mastered less than half of the underground first floor, and the rest of the area is all ruins that cannot be opened and processed.
Although the kingdom of the clans has collapsed, this extremely powerful and prosperous empire still left many traces of its existence in various surface or underground dwarf territories.
The remains in the underground layer that cannot be opened and processed are the legacy and traces left by the clan countries.
They may be treasures left behind by the Silver Dwarves, but they may also be horrible, dangerous traps and disasters.
Since the Silver Dwarves have lost a large amount of knowledge from the Clan Kingdoms, they are helpless as to how to use these precious heritages.
Even if they invite other spellcasters to assist, or research and crack a small part of it themselves, the benefits are far less than the investment because they don't know what is inside these legacies. There are also various risks, such as some out-of-control metal puppets.
After considering various risks, the Silver Dwarfs finally gave up on cracking the code and chose to turn these legacies into restricted areas, pretending they didn't exist.
The underground area that the silver dwarves cannot use is the so-called restricted area.
Of course, this was what the Silver Dwarves said to the outside world, and it couldn't fool Roland.
In fact, all clans living in the dwarf territory, whether they are dwarf clans, goblin clans, or even the green-skinned orcs who will hide in the Dragon's Back Mountains in the future, will basically explore and decipher the heritage left behind by these clan countries.
After all, before the collapse of the Kingdom of Clans, it had already anticipated the collapse of the Empire and the subsequent division and civil war among the Dwarves. Therefore, on the eve of the death of the last Dwarf Emperor, he made countless efforts to stop the collapse of the Empire. At the same time, he also prepared a lot of backup plans to ensure that after the collapse of the Empire, the Dwarves would have the possibility of reviving and becoming powerful again.
In fact, if the goblins had not risen up in the Dragonspine Mountains after the green tide receded, and if both the goblins and the returning dwarves had not obtained part of the heritage of the Kingdom of Clans and fought endlessly with each other, a dwarf empire might have really risen in the Dragonspine Mountains.
