Although Elder Barn was usually quite decisive, he was no idiot.
With just a bit of thought, he could roughly guess what was going on.
Since those ugly Hawkmen could visit the Red Copper Dwarves, they naturally would also visit the Black Iron Dwarves.
Unlike the Red Copper Dwarves who hated evil and considered themselves righteous, the Black Iron Dwarves were more concerned with their own interests. This was the main reason why the Three Hammer Alliance had crumbled.
Collaborating with a strange Silver Dragon, or an Evil Dragon, indeed seemed like something the Black Iron Dwarves would do.
"Damn you, Ebik! After this, I will never let you off the hook!"
But Elder Barn could only say this, as it was still uncertain whether the Red Copper Dwarves could survive this crisis.
The gates of Red Copper Castle were smashed open by Otto himself, but the dragon remained crouched outside, without any intention of entering.
