Chapter 791: Chapter 449 What is this? Sewer water! _2

“Iron ore!? It’s the large amounts of magnetite on the ground that allows it to roll. Wouldn’t it be useless away from here?” Negris caught on.

When Nevin was pulled aside and asked, he was also baffled: “I didn’t pay attention. The Big Round Devil appeared in quite a few places, but I didn’t keep track. I don’t know if they were mining areas or not.”

Just like that, the practicality of the Big Round Devil plummeted. Once a creation that had amazed Durken, it had now become something he disdained. Its limited application was more equivalent to melting iron to make a few thousand blades.

Negris lacked Durken’s expectation for new technology, he felt indifferent about it. “If it’s useless, it’s useless. It works here, so let it roll and grind its way to Iron Sand City.”

Ange probed with his thoughts and found that the soul of the hamster was branded. It was a hamster skull that had a master.

He crushed the soul inside the hamster skull and then recondensed a Soul Fire to insert. The newly-reborn hamster skull now belonged to Ange.

Using mud to block the holes that had sprouted, Ange commanded the Hamster Skull to run with his soul. With a creaking sound, the big iron ball began to roll.

…

The gates of Iron Sand City were tightly closed, with sandbags piled up behind them to prevent the gates from being breached.

The guards on the city walls were somewhat perplexed and worried. The City Lord was killed, and the large mine owner Bamos, with the Undead Scepter in hand, led the Undead Guards into the city to suppress the remaining forces of the City Lord.

As Iron Sand City was a mining area with constant warfare throughout the years, it was unique. Most of its buildings were built like fortresses. Even with the Undead Guards, Bamos couldn’t quickly eliminate the remaining forces refusing to surrender in the fortresses.

But victory belonged to Bamos. He had the Undead Scepter, and the Undead Guards did not need food. Just by confining them within the city, he could starve the enemy to death.

The guards on the city walls had surrendered. The City Lord and Bamos were no saints, exploiting workers, trafficking slaves, forcing people to mine, killing countless people every year.

The mines were dark without sunlight, accidents were frequent, the labor intensity was high, and protection was not sufficient. Death was a common occurrence. But Bamos was even worse – he kept Necromancers captive.

It was rumored that Bamos had obtained a secret technique from somewhere that could increase the chances of an ordinary corpse being turned into a Necromancer, allowing for the creation of some dimwitted witches.

These Necromancers had no fatigue, were tough and strong, did not need to breathe or eat or drink, making them the best miners.

However, this action was illegal. The Undead Empire severely punished the illegal resurrection of Necromancers, let alone enslavement and confinement.

But how many people were there in the Undead Empire? The mining area was so large, and it was impossible to find them if they simply hid in a mine. Only the local guards had heard some rumors.

However, the City Lord wasn’t much better, treating his subordinates harshly. It didn’t matter who was in power initially, but then a troop of Bone Dragon Knights flew in yesterday.

They noticed the battle within the city, descended to ask some questions, and immediately declared Bamos’s actions illegal, ordering him to stop his rebellion.

Bamos, relying on his Undead Scepter, simply ignored the Bone Dragon Knights.

Bone Dragons, especially in fortress-like cities like Iron Sand City, didn’t have much use. In the end, they could only circle helplessly in the sky. Five Bone Dragons broke off from the group and flew to the north.

The remaining Bone Dragons also began to rotate, leaving four in the sky while the other four went somewhere to rest and replaced in the evening.

Bamos started to panic. Clearly, these Bone Dragon Knights were challenging him. The ones that broke away, without a doubt, had gone to seek reinforcements.

Bamos immediately ordered to intensify the attack, hoping to eliminate the remaining forces in the city before the enemy’s reinforcements arrived, so that he could focus on dealing with the Bone Dragon Knights.

To delay the reinforcements brought by the Bone Dragon Knights, he even sent out his secret weapon.

The slow progress earlier was because Bamos wanted to conserve his strength and avoid losing too much in the alley fights. It was cost-effective to starve the enemies to death since there was no rush.

Now since it was a race against time, his restraint was lifted, and the progress immediately sped up. By late night, most of the key points that were originally resisting had been eliminated. The remaining places had no choice but to surrender upon receiving news that the key points had been removed. Now only the alchemy workshop remained resistant.

Bamos personally oversaw the fight at the alchemy workshop because it was the crux – the most valuable things developed throughout the years in Iron Sand City were all here.

“Be careful. Every piece of paper in there is worth more than your lives. You must not damage them. Each piece of paper could potentially hold the formula for an alloy or the structure of a construct. If you ruin it, I’ll throw you into the mine to dig until you die,” Bamos was yelling, completely disregarding how this could restrain his subordinates.

The advancement couldn’t progress more than a few meters in half a day. His men couldn’t stand it anymore and came to complain: “Sir, our casualties are too high at this rate. Let us bring out the heavy weapons, please? What? No? If we can’t use heavy weapons, then we can only try to persuade them to surrender.”

“Surrender? How would you do that? Those dwarfs are stubborn and hot-tempered. What good ideas do you have?” Bamos knew that it was difficult to fight this way, but deploying heavy weapons was absolutely impossible.

The objects in the alchemy workshop were too valuable. If worse comes to worst, he could simply allocate part of his force to besiege this place and starve those guys to death. After all, this was the only place left.
