Chapter 271: Chapter 213: Steamroll! Dwarf Flintlock Gun, Elf Magical Guide Cannon

Zhang Yi’s Elf Corps did not choose to clash head-on with the Dwarf Corps in the canyon. Instead, they opted to lie in wait.

Having been warned by the Great God of Nature long before the divine war began that their opponent would most likely be the Dwarf Clan, Elf Corps Commander Feiyana had already made the appropriate preparations.

For this divine war, unlike the last, Elf Corps Commander Feiyana didn’t just deploy the Tree-man Corps and the Elf Corps.

Instead, among her ten-thousand-strong legion, she brought a full one thousand five hundred members of the Dwarf Clan!

Among these fifteen hundred members of the Dwarf Clan, one thousand were true Dwarf Warriors.

The remaining five hundred were Dwarves who had mastered the [Rune Blacksmith] Profession.

(As mentioned in Chapter 185)

And these five hundred Dwarves who had mastered the [Rune Blacksmith] Profession had, of course, brought along the modified and upgraded Magic Cannons.

"Oh!"

"Actually, they’re not called Magic Cannons anymore. They’ve been renamed to Magical Cannon v1.0!"

Because these Magical Cannons were extremely heavy and difficult to transport, and because the canyon terrain wasn’t particularly advantageous for the Elf Corps,

under Elf Corps Commander Feiyana’s command,

the Elf Corps chose not to take the initiative in this divine war against the Dwarf Clan.

Instead, they found a suitable spot in the canyon to lie in wait, letting the opposing Dwarf Corps come to them!

A Dwarf Scout under Yu Qihang’s command spotted this and brought the news back to the one commanding the battle: Furnace War Axe, a Hero from the Heroic Clan within the Dwarf Corps.

When this battle-hardened Hero of the Dwarf Clan heard his subordinate’s report that the Elf Corps was holding a defensive position,

he showed no signs of worry.

Instead, he broke into a grin, his smile filled with battle lust.

"Excellent. The Elf Corps knows they’re no good at fighting in a place like this. They know they’re no match for our Dwarf Corps."

"So they’ve picked a relatively wide open space to have a decisive battle with us!"

(The AI-generated image could only get this good. The battle is roughly in the bottom right, it’s the dry season, so there’s no water.)

Furnace War Axe, the Dwarf Legion Commander and a Hero from Yu Qihang’s forces, stated his assessment.

"But could it be an ambush set by the Elf Corps?"

"After all, the great Dwarf God did issue an Oracle, warning us to be extremely cautious in our fight against the Elf Corps!"

The Dwarf Legion Commander’s adjutant voiced his concerns, his expression worried.

Hearing his adjutant’s warning, Furnace War Axe laughed dismissively and slapped his own Armor.

It produced a dull THUD.

"Ambush?"

"Do you think at the bottom of such a narrow canyon, with cliffs hundreds of meters high and no way up, that these pointy-eared Elves have any way to ambush us?"

"What are they going to do, fly up there and shoot Arrows down at us?"

As he spoke, Furnace War Axe slapped his Armor again.

"Don’t forget the Armor we and the Dwarf Heavy Armor Corps are wearing."

"In addition to being infused with precious Magic Metal, it can reduce the power of all physical attacks by half, and then dampen half of the remaining impact force. At the same time, it can also defend against ordinary Magic Attacks."

"Even an Arrow shot from hundreds of meters up couldn’t possibly pierce our Armor by the time it reached us!"

"You forged this Armor with your own hands and put it through all sorts of tests. You may not trust the enemy, but do you not trust your own handiwork?"

No Dwarf Blacksmith could tolerate others questioning the quality of their creations.

The dwarf adjutant naturally shook his head at once.

"I forged this suit of Armor myself. Of course I know its defensive capabilities."

The dwarf adjutant replied.

Hearing this,

Dwarf Legion Commander Furnace War Axe stepped forward and clapped his adjutant on the shoulder.

The clap on the Armor produced another heavy, muffled THUD.

"Exactly!"

"You finally understand!"

"You need to understand, this is home turf for us Hill Dwarves!"

"The solid rock is our bulwark, capable of withstanding Elf Magic, and the narrow terrain makes it difficult for Elf Archers to use their Bows and Arrows effectively."

"This terrain, combined with our gear, will absolutely allow the Dwarf Heavy Armor Corps to press our advantage to the fullest!!"

"For those pointy-eared Elves to choose this place for a decisive battle was an incredibly foolish decision!"

"Their only correct move would have been to use guerilla tactics, using the complex terrain to wear us down."

"But now, the Elf Corps has abandoned its greatest advantage to pit its weakness against our Dwarf Corps’ strength. Tell me, how can we possibly lose?"

Furnace War Axe grew more and more impassioned as he spoke.

"Besides, the great Dwarf God even gave me the Dwarf Flintlock Gun Corps he trained himself!"

"Under these circumstances, how could we possibly lose!"

The next moment, Furnace War Axe raised the great axe in his hand and pointed down the path the Scout had discovered.

His voice boomed like a great bell:

"Brothers! It’s time we see just how much Power those Elves hiding behind the rocks really have!"

"Let them witness the torrent of the Dwarf Heavy Armor Corps!"
