Chapter 2098 Don't
At this point, even the second Overlords of the dwarven Clan couldn't help but sit up in their seats, unable to react for a long time.
Did they hear correctly?
"You honestly don't have much time to decide." Dyon said lightly.
The dwarves couldn't wrap their heads around the brazenness of this young man. He stood alone amidst their strongest elders, only three of his wives and his daughter by his side, yet he was essentially threatening them as though they really weren't worthy very much.
However, they knew that they had the right to act this way. Just the act of wiping out the centaurs alone was enough to shake them to their core. Of course, the dwarves could have done this as well, but there was definitely no single one of them who could have accomplished the feat.
But this was only the first. After seeing Dyon fight side by side with a black dragon and essentially wipe out a coalition army by himself, they realized that this young man was already levels beyond them.
Subconsciously, they had already accepted Dyon's story. In addition, technically, Dyon's wife was their leader, though she had lost what made her the Elvin Queen.
"We don't have much time? What do you mean by that?"
One of the three Overlords of the dwarf clan probed. It sounded like Dyon was threatening them to hurry up so that he didn't get angry, but it somehow felt more important than that.
"Whoever orchestrated the attack in both the southern and eastern regions definitely won't wait much longer before continuing to their second step."
"Really? Even after losing so resoundingly?"
"Your thoughts might be valid if the initial attacks were truly their best effort. But, you were attacked by two of the Overlord Clans while we were attacked by three of them. Yet, between five Overlord Clans and ten three facet Overlords, plus what should have been dozens of two facet Overlords, not only did only two two-facet Overlords appear, but not a single three facet Overlord showed their face.
"You tell me, what does this mean?"
"We agree, but..."
Just as the Overlord was about to speak, Dyon turned his head toward a certain direction.
As usual, the dwarven meeting place was in the crude lands bordering the oil-like raging rivers. Dyon's gaze narrowed as he looked over the reddish horizon.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The faint sounds grew louder and louder. It was obscenely loud to the point that deciphering what it was, was nearly impossible. That was... Until the first heads as tall as mountains came into sight.
"But what?" Dyon looked over curiously, shifting back from the horizon.
The dwarven Overlords swallowed hard, not daring to finish their words. Dyon wasn't exaggerating at all when he said they didn't have much time to think.
...
"Can we really leave like this?"
The dwarves were inwardly fighting with themselves. Though the dwarfism of the dwarven race was nothing but a myth, their pride was very much real. Even if they knew they wouldn't be able to do much in such a battle, they still felt that they could do something.
"Don't worry." Dyon said with a smile. "Though I'm not a bad person, I wouldn't particularly consider myself benevolent. Since I'm taking you in, it means that I have a use for you... What do you think of this?"
Dyon suddenly took out a massive golden door. Even though it didn't make a single sound coming out of Dyon's inner world, just silently standing in the ground caused cracks to spread out violently.
The splinters in the hard soil raced across the brown lands, crashing into the shore and causing miniature rivers of water to rush out.
"... Heavy!"
