Era Of Castles: Starting With 99 Dragon Eggs

After the giant gopher went underground, it was not far from the mechanical fortress.

The gnome Leader’s lips curled up, and he had a wicked smile on his face. He already knew what the giant gopher was doing.

He did not stop the giant gopher earlier because he did it on purpose. One had to know that the gnome dwarves were as intelligent as the giant gopher.

How could they let the giant gopher escape?

As for the leader intentionally letting the giant gopher go, he wanted to force the giant gopher to leave first so that the gnome dwarves hiding at the edge of the Misty Forest would have a chance to kill the giant gopher.

This was because when the giant gopher focused on escaping, it could not take care of the mechanical heart in its package at the same time.

This was the trap designed by the gnome leader.

The scene switched to the escape route of the giant gopher.

There were many dwarves hiding at the edge of the Misty Forest. They were sent here in advance by the leader.

Each of these gnome dwarves held a thermal weapon made by the gnomes. It was a device that could shoot energy rays.

With so many gnome dwarves guarding the edge of the Misty Forest, it was impossible for the giant gopher to break through this line of defense.

This was because the giant gopher could not stay under the ground for a long time. Every once in a while, it had to stick its head out of the ground to breathe.

This was also the reason why the gnome leader had targeted the giant gopher.

The ritual activities that the giant gopher had discovered were real. This was also the secret of the gnome dwarves. They could not let this secret be spread to the outsiders.

Therefore, after the giant gopher entered the gnome’s camp, it was destined to die.

More than half an hour had passed, and the giant gopher had no choice but to stick its head out of the ground to breathe fresh air.

The giant gopher looked in the direction of the dense Misty Forest and roughly estimated the distance.

There was at least half an hour before it could enter the dense Misty Forest.

As long as it could successfully enter the forest, it would be able to escape from the crisis.

Of course, the giant gopher was not stupid. After it entered the ground, it was also thinking of hard. The gopher found it strange that it escaped so smoothly… Almost too smoothly.

If some gnome dwarves used mechanical devices to shoot out energy rays and bombard the ground, at least, it would not be suspicious.

However, for some reason, none of the gnomes did such a thing.

This made the giant gopher very surprised, and at the same time, the vigilance in his heart grew stronger.

The giant gopher observed the surrounding environment for a while, and after looking in the direction of the Misty Forest, a very strange feeling arose in his heart.

It was a kind of perceptive ability that was awakened in advance in the face of impending danger.

However, if the giant gopher wanted to successfully enter the Misty Forest, it had to pass through that area.

If the giant gopher continued to run to the left and made a large circle, it would be able to avoid the trap set by the gnome dwarves.

The giant gopher not only successfully delayed the siege of the mechanical army for a day, but also grasped the secrets of the gnome dwarves.

Although the giant gopher did not know what the gnome dwarves’ ritual was for, it did not stop it from bringing the information back to the Dragon Castle.

As long as Mike found the information useful, it was enough.

Next, the giant gopher started to run to the left.

In order to save time, it did not go underground. If it was underground, it would greatly affect its speed.

The speed of the giant gopher running on the ground was astonishing. If it was heading towards the Misty Forest, it would only take a few minutes to enter the Misty Forest.

If it ran to the left now, taking a large detour. It would be too late to enter the Misty Forest before dawn.

At the same time, the gnome dwarves were hiding at the edge of the Misty Forest.

The leader was a small gnome. It was usually difficult for him to leave the camp alone. This time, he was happy to be assigned to come here.

With the small leader bringing out more than 50 gnome dwarves, he had to fully showcase his leadership ability.

Then, the small leader began to split the 50 Gnome Dwarves into five teams, each team was exactly 10 gnome dwarves. Each team was responsible for an area.

If the giant gopher escaped from an area where any team was responsible for, then the little leader would push all the responsibility onto that team.

This was a trick he learned from the leader. He would not forget that the gnome leader had used this method to defeat his biggest competitor.

That was how he became the leader of the gnome dwarves.

As time passed, a ray of light appeared in the dark night sky.

The gnome dwarves guarding the edge of the fog forest still did not see the giant gopher. The small leader felt that something was wrong, and started to feel anxious.

According to the information sent from the gnome dwarves’ camp, the giant gopher should be here by now. It should have appeared in this area a long time ago. However, it had been so long, and they had not seen any trace of it.

Something must have happened along the way.

At this time, the little leader was thinking hard with his tiny head.

Since they did not see the giant gopher, should they let the five teams search for it.

There was a vast plain ahead. It would be difficult to find the giant gopher hiding underground. However, it was better than waiting forever.

If the giant gopher were to escape from under their noses, they would definitely be punished by the gnome leader.

Thinking of this, the little leader decided to go all out. He stood up from the grass and gathered five squads. Then, he ordered them to sweep the plains.

It was called sweeping, but in fact, it was asking the gnome dwarves to use their weapons to attack the ground.

Soon, the gnome dwarves fired heat rays, stirring up layers of soil.

The giant gopher they were waiting for had already entered the Misty Forest from another direction.

Before long, the giant gopher would be able to rush back to the Dragon Castle.

Then, Mike would know about the gnome dwarves’ secrets.
