Chapter 769: Chapter 522, Discussing Peace_2
Grey Iron City.
Eight Peaks Mountain, the main city of the Dwarf Kingdom.
Built into the mountain, the city walls are cast from molten iron, formidable and impregnable.
The only approach for an attack is straight ahead, which is also the best defended and fiercely fortified spot.
The dwarves are already prepared.
Therefore, Dong Jiayue and his team did not launch a direct attack at the first opportunity.
Instead, they gathered their forces outside the city, beginning to regroup and rest.
The dwarves on their side began to hastily repair their artillery, preparing for the final battle.
Meanwhile, an endless line of undead skeletons joined their ranks from the rear.

The waiting army grew larger and larger.
The formation of the battle line rapidly expanded backward.
“Jia Yue sister, how should we fight this final battle?”
A voice sounded, and several transmigrators walked towards them.
All of them had changed from their thin clothes to the “Fur-warming Robe” and “Fur-warming Trousers” distributed by Fang Hao.
At a glance, they resembled hunters going up the mountain to hunt in a TV drama.
The style was not bad, mainly because they were really warm.
Even without particularly cold weather, they were sweating in those clothes, and needed to change out of them once they entered their tents.
Dong Jiayue responded, “No rush. We are reaching the final step. Our army will keep growing. Those dwarves should be the ones feeling the pressure.”
The others nodded, feeling that made sense.
“Jia Yue, the walls of Grey Iron City are much higher than typical city walls. It will be more difficult for the undead to pile up and climb up, we should consider making some siege equipment,” Deng Bin commented.
“Yes, I’ve considered that. The dwarves are currently creating siege equipment that we can utilize,” Dong Jiayue said as she took off the tent, “Let’s discuss it inside.”
Thirteen transmigrators entered the tent.
They each took a seat around the tent.
“I have a suggestion. If the frontal and skyward assaults are challenging, can we consider digging tunnels? Remember the Demon Rat attack? Some Demon Rats can dig tunnels right up to the front gate of the Lord’s mansion,” Yang Xiaolan proposed creatively.
Immediately after she finished, someone refuted, “Considering the hardness of the ground at this time and the possibility that the mountain range might be underneath, think about how long it would take to manually dig all the way.”
“Should we find a special way, such as enlisting some Warcraft that are good at digging tunnels? Should we ask Brother Fang Hao, he might have a solution!”
Everyone turned their eyes to Dong Jiayue.
Dong Jiayue distributed some breakfast she had prepared, before continuing: “I heard from Bellerga that when the dwarves built their city walls, they considered this possibility. The underground part of the wall is also very deep, and it is even stronger.”
“Damn, those dwarves are too cunning.”
“No wonder they are not tall; they’re all brains.”
“Exactly…”
The transmigrators, failing to come up with any siege strategies, began to hurl personal insults out of embarrassment.
From accusing the dwarves of being crafty, to mocking their short stature.
A string of words, all maligning the dwarves based on their physical characteristics.
Thankfully, Bellerga did not attend this meeting, or he would have been so angry he might have plucked out all his beard.
In the midst of the messy discussion inside the tent…
A guard’s report was heard from outside the tent, “My Lord, there’s news from the front that the grey Iron City has sent dwarves to negotiate.”
All the people in the tent were stunned and subsequently look at Dong Jiayue unanimously.
The great battle was about to begin, yet the dwarves suddenly sent someone over.
Dong Jiayue guessed the purpose of the dwarves and said, “Let the dwarves come over. And call Meatfist and Spencer over too, to attend the dwarves’ meeting together.”
She was also worried that the dwarves would suddenly launch an attack. Having two orange heroes present would not only show the value they placed on the heroes but also serve as her protection.
“Oh, alright, my lord.” The guard quickly retreated and passed on the message.
Dong Jiayue looked at the few transmigrators and said, “You guys can go back to your work for now, I will notify you if there are any updates.”
“Understood.”
The group got up and left the tent.
…
Before long, Spencer and Meatfist entered the tent.
On the dwarf’s side,
As the formation of the undead army was so large, they hadn’t arrived yet.
It must have taken them quite a bit of time to walk here.
The three of them discussed the purpose of the dwarves’ visit in the tent.
After waiting for almost an hour,
A guard’s report came from outside the tent, “Lord, the dwarves have arrived.”
Dong Jiayue immediately returned to her main seat and said solemnly, “Let them in.”
Swish!!
Footsteps sounded outside the door, the tent was pulled open, and three dwarves appeared in front of them.
The leading dwarf had a gray-white beard and wore a high-quality cotton coat.
He strode in confidently.
However, when they saw that the person sitting in the main seat was a young human girl, all three dwarves frowned.
They looked at the undead heroes standing on both sides like bodyguards,
Their eyes showed some confusion and incomprehension.
They had forgotten what they had rehearsed and stood in place.
“Gentleman, please take a seat!” Dong Jiayue was the first to speak.
Hearing her voice, the three dwarves came to their senses, exchanged glances with each other, and sat down on the seats to the side.
Dong Jiayue continued, “The great battle is about to begin, do you gentlemen have any business here?”
The leading dwarf with the grey beard slammed his hand on the table and said loudly, “There have never been any grievances between Eight Peaks Mountain and you. You seized our city and killed our people. What is your intention?”
