One by one, Max unveiled the components of the armor, actively assisting Steer in inspecting it.

Juman's armor was a full set, comprising numerous parts, and Steer meticulously checked to ensure nothing was missing.

Lastly, this is the weapon.

As Max concluded his statement, he suddenly sprang into action.

Steer, having just lifted his gaze, found Max wielding a large hammer, crackling with arcs of electricity, hurtling towards him.

With a resounding thud, Steer caught entirely offguard, was struck with full force by Max's blow, sending him flying.

Without the protection of armor, Steer succumbed instantly.

Chapter 242.

Resources arrived.

The dwarves of Erdi were utterly dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events.

Caught off guard by the unforeseen upheaval.

Max had merely witnessed Stir being sent flying by his blow, oblivious to whether the foe had perished or not.

Without hesitation, he advanced to deliver the final blow before rushing towards the city gates that had yet to be shut.

Stir until his last breath could not have fathommed that the supposed refugee was in fact a royal.

He even had the chance to unleash his domain before being stealthily struck down by Max Bang Bang.

As the dwarves regained their senses, they immediately opened fire.

Yet such feeble assaults were of no consequence to Max.

He effortlessly summoned his domain to deflect all incoming attacks.

Swiftly making his way into the city.

Unsure if any other royals lurked within, he promptly dawned a royal attire of Zuman, a precaution he had intentionally prepared for.

The other dwarves masquerading as refugees were also of the commander rank.

Following Max into the heart of the city, panic engulfed Erda City.

Numerous warriors and officials were roused from their slumber, hastily gathering their troops to head toward the walls and desperately attempt to thwart the enemy.

This was a city, the logistical stronghold of the Firebeard clan, and it could not afford to falter.

Before long, the dwarves within the city rushed towards the gates, while Max stood at top the walls, observing the approaching dwarves in the distance.

The guard station on the walls had long since been dealt with.

Indeed, the Firebeard clan had depleted its reserves of royals to safeguard her city.

As a former noble, Max was intimately acquainted with all the royals within the Firebeard clan.

Seeing the gathering of their forces, Max remained unperturbed, knowing reinforcements were on their way.

A glance back revealed that the flames of fortress number three had extinguished, indicating that the crisis had been averted.

The black smoke had transformed into white, signifying the enemy's retreat.

However, reinforcements were still required.

I am Max of the Firebeard clan.

Stir conspired with other clans to instigate rebellion and has been slain by my hand.

Do you also wish to rebel? Max bellowed from a top the walls.

Casting down a token, the commanding officer of the dwarven troops below promptly retrieved it, examining its face adorned with the exclusive insignia of the Firebeard clan.

While the reverse bore Max's name, this was indeed the token of nobility, a symbol of their status.

For a moment, the officer found himself at a loss.

Uncertain of how to proceed, as Erda City was a crucial stronghold for the Firebeard clan, its inhabitants were predominantly of noble lineage, rendering the possibility of Max's subversion implausible.

However, although they were nobles, they were not of the direct line and were thus unaware of Max's circumstances.

After all, how could the patriarch of the Firebeard clan divulge the family's disgrace? Only a select few core members were privy to this knowledge, including Stir, though he can no longer voice it.

The dwarven troops below also beheld Max's token as a direct subordinate of Stir.

The officer recognized that Stir could not have conspired against them.

Yet, given the current situation, it was evident that this was a conflict among the great nobles.

If Stir were alive, he would undoubtedly continue his fight.

But now that he had fallen, it signified Max's victory.

Why would he provoke a noble? Forgive me, my lord.

We were unaware of Lord Stur's collusion with other clans.

We hold no ulterior motives and are prepared to heed your commands.

The officer immediately knelt on one knee and addressed Max at top the city wall, while the other dwarves also paid their respects.

Observing the officer's humility, Max loosened his grip on the great hammer in his hand, realizing that this was a wise individual.

Otherwise, he would have been the first to face Max's wrath.

The subordinates beside Max were equally impressed, surprised at how effortlessly he had stabilized the situation in Erd City.

The vulnerability of Erd city defenses was evident with the main forces stationed at the front lines.

Otherwise, such a stronghold would require at least three royal guardians.

Yet, only Str remained, indicating significant losses at the front.

Meanwhile, at Fortresser number three, Gray had achieved a great victory, but did not capture the fortress, fearing reinforcements from other strongholds.

Instead, he initiated an immediate retreat.

Gray's forces arrived at the designated location, merging with the 30,000 dwarven troops that had been awaiting them, and they directly advanced toward Earth City.

As for Aman City, there still remained 2,000 undead and necromancers on guard.

Within the castle, Xiao Yinshua, who had been anxiously awaiting news, finally received the report from the dwarves that Erd city had been successfully taken.

Overjoyed, she promptly sent a message to Bayou to share the good news.

At that moment, Bayou had just awakened, and upon reading Xiao Yianu's message, she realized the materials for constructing the undead fortress were now available.

However, she had not anticipated a failure in the assault on Erd city, especially with 2,000 undead and necromancers still stationed there.

The dwarves under Xiaoa had not sought assistance from the undead, indicating their competence, as they were not the helpless beings requiring by you as constant support.

The next step was to prepare for an offensive against the goblin kingdom.

But prior to that, although she understood the functions of the undead fortress, she had yet to conduct specific experiments.

Thus, she planned to establish an undead fortress outside Oman city.

Both to support Xiao's castle and to serve as a final line of defense for her.

While dismantling the fortress would return resources, the core crystal would not be refunded.

Therefore, the choice of location for the initial undead fortress required careful consideration with such a considerable distance.

It was uncertain when all these materials would be transported.

The journey from Erd city to Aman city took several hours measured by the flight speed of a bone dragon.

If it were by land forces, it would be even slower.

Furthermore, the distance from Aman City to Xiao Yinua's castle was even greater.

I am Aused.

Does Earth City not have a teleportation array? I do not know, Xiao Linu replied.

Bayou slapped her forehead, nearly forgetting that the teleportation arrays between dwarven cities were not interconnected, each leading only to a fixed location.

No, the city of the undead must also possess its own teleportation array.

The portal is too limited.

Although the undead fortress could suffice, it requires the fortress core to function.

Alas, it was regrettable that a she had departed.

Otherwise, she would have sought her assistance.

In she was adept in spatial magic, and a teleportation array would be a trivial task for her.

Bayou inquired of her dark alchemist whether they could construct a teleportation array, only to discover that such matters lay far beyond their realm of expertise.

The day commenced early, marking the beginning of a laborious task of relocating supplies.

Bayou held no expectations that the army of undead from Aman city would assist.

as their pace was exceedingly sluggish.

Furthermore, the ring Bou possessed was not usable by others.

She had no choice but to take matters into her own hands, especially with a royal level corpse awaiting her summons.

She promptly summoned all the royal level beings within the city capable of traversing the portal, for their speed was truly remarkable.

Bayou, along with five royal level entities, then teleported to the White Rock Mountain Range, vanishing from the city of the undead.

Chapter 243.

That should be sufficient esteemed guests.

Please take a seat.

Here is today's breakfast.

Enjoy your meal.

Upon arriving at the dining hall, the siblings were taken aback to discover that Bayou had already left the palace early in the morning.

Where has the elder gone? Chun pondered with curiosity.

The host, attentive to Chun's bewilderment, explained, "The lord departed not long before your arrival, accompanied by several undead.
