Behind the battlefield, Eve dashed to Su Ye's side.
"The dwarves are running away, what should we do?"
Su Ye shook the dwarf blood off his longsword, a cruel smile playing on his lips: "Run, can they really run away?"
Having said that, Su Ye whistled into the air.
The next moment, two booms echoed as Han Bing and Chi Lie descended from the sky, standing in front of him.
Su Ye leaped onto Chi Lie's back, raising the sword in his hand: "Chase, intercept them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Lie's wings flapped, generating a gust of wind as his massive form took flight, pursuing the fleeing dwarves.
Watching Su Ye's back, Eve gritted her teeth and ordered a pursuit.
The Dao Feng Spiders and Han Bing, swift in speed, were the first to strike.
They followed the fleeing dwarves.
Meanwhile, Eve, Su Qian'er, and Lin Yan Xi climbed onto the backs of the centaurs.
These creatures were essentially human from the waist up, with the lower bodies of normal horses.
Therefore, centaurs could often serve as mounts.
The group rapidly closed in on the fleeing dwarf army.
Yorick, running beside Vulgan, glanced back from time to time. When he saw Su Ye riding Chi Lie towards them, he couldn't help but swallow, his grizzled face twisted in a wry smile.
"Chief, they're catching up."
Vulgan heard this and felt like crying.
Damn it, if he had known this, he should have abandoned the fight when he saw the giant dragon.
But now...
"Don't mind them, just run faster. Once we reach the War Hammer Tribe, we'll use our cannons to greet them. Hmph...even a dragon, I'll blast it out of the sky."
Yorick twitched his lips, "Heh, easy to say."
As if they could outrun a dragon.
As expected, less than a minute later, Chi Lie carrying Su Ye had already flown to the front of the dwarves.
Letting out a clear dragon roar, it plunged from the sky with a boom.
Its massive form crashed into the ground, sending out a powerful shock wave that knocked the first few dwarves to the ground.
"The battle's not over yet, don't be in such a hurry to leave."
Su Ye's voice rang out from above Vulgan's head.
The latter stopped, glaring at Su Ye: "Human, what do you want!"
Su Ye jumped down from Chi Lie's head, looking at Vulgan with a smile: "In our human civilization, there's a saying: 'The winner takes all.' You lost, shouldn't you pay a price?"
Vulgan swallowed, the ominous feeling in his heart returning.
What exactly did this human want.
A flapping of wings echoed from the sky, and Han Bing also landed, standing side by side with Chi Lie.
In the rear, the remaining twenty-three Dao Feng Spiders and ten centaurs had also surrounded the fleeing dwarves.
They were caught in a pincer movement.
Seeing this, Vulgan's heart ached.
His brilliant and formidable self, it seemed he was truly going to fall this time!
"Alright, human, I admit defeat in this battle. I promise I won't get close to this place again. The purple secret realm, I don't want it anymore, please let us go, will you?" Vulgan pleaded.
He was starting to soften.
He had no choice; his men were surrounded. If he didn't play nice, what awaited him would be the complete annihilation of his army.
He had brought all the elite warriors of the War Hammer Tribe this time.
If they all died here, what would happen to the old, weak, and sick left behind in the War Hammer Tribe?
As the chief, Vulgan couldn't ignore this.
Hearing Vulgan's words, Su Ye nodded: "If you agree to one condition, I'll let you go."
Vulgan's eyes lit up. With Su Ye saying this, it seemed there was still hope.
"What condition? As long as it's not too excessive, I can agree."
Su Ye pondered for a moment, then looked at the exquisite armor worn by the dwarves in front of him.
"I heard that all of you dwarves are natural forging masters, is that true?"
This statement seemed to strike a chord in Vulgan's heart.
He raised his head proudly, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes: "Of course. I can't speak for other dwarves, but in my War Hammer Tribe, there are ten top-level forge masters. Without exaggeration, any race, any form of armor, as long as the materials are provided, we dwarves can forge it."
Su Ye snapped his fingers: "Well then, my territory happens to be short of blacksmiths. I think you guys are just right!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Vulgan erupted in fury.
"Blacksmiths? You dare call us great forge masters blacksmiths?"
Su Ye shrugged: "It's all the same. Now, sign the contract with me. From today onwards, your War Hammer Tribe is my subordinate territory."
At these words, the dwarves behind Vulgan looked at each other.
Subordinate territory, they knew what that meant.
A territory, while developing itself, could also sign contracts with other territories, forming alliances or becoming superior or subordinate territories.
Among them, alliance contracts implied equal status between the two territories.
Subordinate territory contracts, on the other hand, had a hierarchical structure, with a main territory and a subordinate territory.
Most importantly, the contract content for the subordinate territory was determined by the main territory's lord.
In other words, the main territory's lord could propose any conditions in the contract for the subordinate territory's lord to sign.
Of course, the conditions could not be unreasonable.
Once the contract was signed, the conditions would take effect immediately.
If the subordinate territory violated the terms of the contract, the main territory could impose certain penalties.
To put it simply, once a territory signed a subordinate territory contract with another territory, it meant that this territory was completely controlled by the other!
