Warhammer Throne

The fall of the iron and steel rock brought the final harvest of the expeditionary army. Hundreds of tons of obsidian was urgently transported back to Haimenguan. This highly cherished ore has been refined. It is very strong and can be enchanted. It is rare. High-quality materials, whether it is for the manufacture of war machines, weapons, armor equipment, or even walls and fortresses, obsidian has amazing value.

However, only obsidian was produced from iron and steel in the old world. It has been lost in the hands of the green skin for many years in the era of catastrophe. Otherwise, the major engineers at Haimenguan would not think of looking for obsidian in the new world.

Now, the obsidian mined by the green skin in the steel rock has become Ryan's seizure. The centuries of accumulation of the Iron Claw tribe have become the loot of the expeditionary army. Ryan even found the last legend in the steel rock. When El received the gold crown for Elector Elderard, Ryan decided to return it to the Empire after a little thought.

After the capture of the Iron and Steel Rock, Lane chose to plunder and destroy it as usual. Once the thousands-year-old green fortress was destroyed, the army began to pull out and slowly moved south.

The army began to suffer.

Skasnick sent a large number of wolf cavalry, constantly harassing and attacking the supply line of the army. The cunning Goblin wolf cavalry can come and go in the evil ground. Skasnik gives up fighting with the army, but puts Ryan and Bellega went south and ran and ran, ambushing, trapping, destroying vanguards and scouts, and slowly disintegrating and dividing the confidence and number of this expeditionary army.

The expeditionary army encountered a dilemma. The further south, the worse the environment of the badlands, the less water and fodder, and the logistics depended on the supply from Haimenguan-Arsenal Fort, but after continuous attacks, Lane and Bellega had to divide another 5,000 people to protect the logistics route.

After losing the Vanguard of 1,500 people in a row, Ryan had to order the Expeditionary Army to slow down and march slowly to prevent being ambushed.

The hot climate caused many soldiers to fall ill, and the consequences of disobedience began to appear. There were many non-combat downsizing in the army. There were fewer and fewer green-skinned fortresses along the way, and there were few things that could be looted. The morale of the army gradually In the downturn, Lane wanted to win a few victories to increase confidence, but the cunning Skasnick didn’t give him a chance at all. On the contrary, it was planning to consume them with Lane, and the whole evil land, green skin in all directions, kept rolling. In the past, the expeditionary forces fought several encounters, each with their own losses, but none of them touched the main force of Skasnick.

From the steel rock to Valaya sadly, the expeditionary force walked for about three months.

Skasnik repeatedly set up ambushes, and they were all spotted by Bellega. The scouts and reconnaissance troops of the two sides have fought several times successively, and they have won and lost each other, but the expeditionary army, which is obviously caught in the green sea of ​​the sea, is getting more and more difficult and hot , Desert, dry, rugged terrain and complex and variable climate all torture this expeditionary army, and every step forward will have to pay a huge price.

By August, when the scorching heat gradually faded, and the Expeditionary Force arrived in Valaya sadly, there were less than 30,000 troops left.

Fortunately, the unicorn guard sent by Francois led 5,000 people and brought a lot of supplies to the front line, provided some replacements, the wounded soldiers withdrew, the merchants took the seizures and loot, and the army was able to barely Traveling lightly, when the army finally approached Valaya sadly in late August, Bellega carefully surveyed the terrain and immediately saw through the heavy ambush set by Skasnik. Completely wipe out the 1,000 Goblin wolf cavalry ambushing behind the mountain road.

Immediately after, Belleja, who was very familiar with the terrain of the world's ridge mountains, led the Expeditionary Army through a dark road to bypass Skusnik's ambush circle and first broke into Valaya's sad ground. The magic crystal cannon was under the command of Bellegar The artillery bombarded the bottom of the most vulnerable wall of this green-skinned fortress, causing the wall to collapse directly. While Skasnick was still waiting for the expeditionary force to enter the ambush circle, Ryan and Bellegar had already taken the lead and killed Valaya. All three thousand green-skin defenders were wiped out here, and ambush was set up to wait for the green-skin backstrike in the prophecy.

However, the situation was surprising. Skasnik saw that his ambush had no effect. He unexpectedly chose to retreat and disappeared into the evil ground. In this way, the two sides tried for three months back and forth, always on a small scale. Confrontation.

The exhausted expeditionary army was also unable to chase the green skin that had disappeared in the evil land. The army withdrew into the sadness of Valaya and camped in the hall of the dwarf ancestors deep in the mountains.

After the camp, both Lane and Bellega knew that time should not be delayed. Lion led about 5,000 people, Bellega led the vanguard army of about 2,000 people, and began to explore where the gate of Valaya was. The rest of the army Led by Karad, stationed in the hall of the ancestors, waiting for Ryan's signal.

Now, in the deep and wide dwarf underground tunnel, Ryan is followed by Veronica and Olika, and Bellega is followed by the chief engineer of the Angerand clan, Hal Haval-fisher and chief charmer. Artisan Slud-Honest, the army slowly advances with torches in the underground tunnel.

The light was dim and there were no enemies around for a while. Griffon Impris followed Ryan behind him, Bellegar walked beside Ryan, and the chief rune craftsman of the Angerand clan, Slud-Honest, was looking ahead. The ancient dwarf runes and the beacon stones that have become very dark guide the direction of the army.

"Granny's beard, I can feel that something has blasphemed our ancestors' tunnel." Bellega said to Ryan: "It was a very dirty and corrosive force. Obviously, before us, Someone has already been to this place. It is strange that when the master rune craftsman closed the tunnel, it was obviously dead."

In the faint fire, the human army looked around nervously. Veronica released a small flame skull from time to time to illuminate the zenith of the underground tunnel. The army walked slowly. They had been marching for many hours. With Thor’s hammer in his hand, he hung the goddess of revenge around his waist. After a few months of marching, the knight king’s face had added some wind and frost, but his spirit was pretty good: "It seems that we really have to face A new enemy, Brothers Bellega, can you confirm what forces polluted the runes?"

"It's not clear, if Sorek-Tiemei is here, he should be able to feel it, but I'm not a master rune craftsman." Bellega was a little helpless about this: "Sorek told me this way, He warned me not to take this path until a last resort, because it seems to contain secrets about the ancestors of Valaya."

"Uh, wouldn't we take that path to cause the hatred of the master rune craftsman?" Ryan was a little embarrassed. The reinforcements in the direction of Tiefengbao were an important help for the Battle of Bafengshan.

"No, my ancestor, King Ruen's heroic spirit allowed me to do this." Bellega sighed: "I used to think that the ancestor's holy thing, even if it was dead, I would not use it, but After so many experiences, I have understood that it’s not the ancestor’s original intention to enshrine the ancestors’ holy objects, and we don’t have to. Many of the sacred objects have been seized by the Greenskin or Skaven Rats, taken for blasphemy or carried out Evil rituals, this is the real shame."

"Uh." Ryan nodded.

The three main gods of the dwarf are Granny, Valaya and Grimnier. The three main gods have been introduced in the previous article, and they will not be repeated here.

The three main gods of the dwarves used to be the supreme rulers and ruled the dwarves for thousands of years. Among them, Valaya was the common wife of Granny and Grimner (so the dwarves formed this tradition), and the invasion of chaos was After Elaraio ended, the God of War, Grimnier among the three main dwarves, decided to lead a team to the Chaos Wasteland and close the portal of the Ancient Saint. At that time, all the dwarf ancestors opposed, but Grimnier It embodies the stubborn character in the dwarf's bones, he insisted on going, and then disappeared into the chaotic wasteland.

Granny and Valaya are suffering from their dereliction of duty. Then Granny decides to pass on the eldest son, Snowy-Whitebeard, born in himself and Valaya. After 302 years, Granny and Valaya He led an army of dwarf ancestors to the chaotic wasteland and tried to close the portal again. The remaining dwarves elected Snowy-Whitebeard as the first supreme king of the dwarves.

It is worth mentioning that it was at this time that the elven empire (not yet divided) established an intimate alliance with the dwarves. Snowy-Whitebeard met the first son of the Phoenix King Malkis while fighting the chaotic army in the wild. Together, forge a deep friendship in hunting and destroying the last chaotic army left over from the old world. Later, the trade between elves and dwarves became more and more prosperous, and the ore veins discovered by dwarves became more and more abundant, thus creating many new fortresses.

At that time, Malekis had a good relationship with Snowy-Whitebeard and could wear a pair of trousers (unfortunately the size was different). He could just push the door in and see what the other party was doing. Malekis also served as a diplomatic ambassador of the Elven Empire to Everest Afterwards, when Snowy-White Beard was finally sleeping (Snowry was more than a thousand years old when the two sides met, and Snowley was more than two thousand years old when he was an ambassador), the first supreme king still held the horse. Lekis's hand, let him remember the covenant, don't betrayal, Malkis also agreed very seriously.

Sure enough, this kind of thing is not credible.

"Many parts of the geotextile network have been in disrepair for a long time, and the best protected part of them is only barely passable. After thousands of years, many geotextile networks have collapsed due to earthquakes and landslides, and others The foreign enemy attacked and fell." Bellega carefully checked the direction of the tunnel: "Oh, I recognize these ancient marks. They are from the hands of the goddess Granny, Slade, it's up to you."

"Leave it to me." Rune Craftsman Slud-Honest comes up to interpret the runes carefully. Only the blood of Gruner can become a Rune Craftsman. Slud must be on countless forks and Find the correct one in the mine.

After spending a few hours, Slud-Honest finally found the direction: "Yes, this is the way, this road will lead to the gate of Valaya."

"Let's keep up!" Ryan immediately signaled the army to follow Slade. The human army and the dwarf army united and carefully walked toward the depths of the network.

"Gosh, I hate drilling holes, which makes me feel like a dwarf." Veronica followed behind Ryan, and the witch of Garland held the stick of Ventini in his hand, and the tip of the staff spewed out. In the flames, illuminating the surrounding environment, even the bright fire witch of the sanctuary strength, Jialan witch still felt extremely uncomfortable with this damp and dark environment. From the expression on her face, she was very uncomfortable.

"Oh, Ms. Veronica, if you are a female dwarf, there will surely be many dwarf boys chasing you." Bellejah made a joke. The King of the Eight Peaks also knew that humans are really not suitable for the underground environment. He went on to say: "Unfortunately you are not beautiful enough or charming enough... well, I mean, as a female dwarf, you fail."

"Hehehe~" Ryan couldn't help laughing.

Among the dwarves, female dwarfs only account for 10-20% of the total population of the dwarves. Therefore, female dwarves are regarded as the key to the dwarf family’s inheritance and reproduction. Any female dwarf will only receive the best protection and the highest level of rations. It is a typical patriarchal society. The daily work, forging, and warfare are entirely handled by men. The female dwarf is only responsible for housework and raising children.

Because the number of female dwarfs is scarce, only the most powerful warriors and the highest level of craftsmen and engineers have the opportunity to marry a wife (sometimes brothers together to marry a wife). In the dwarf society, they are strong, thick and full. Muscle, a gourd-shaped figure and a strong waist are considered "the most charming" female dwarfs, and a female dwarf wants to get married, the husband's beard must be able to wrap around the female dwarf's waist, and must be able to produce at least equal weight Only gold can do it. The voluptuous figure like Veronica, the white-skinned and beautiful long-legged human woman is a standard ugly girl in the eyes of the dwarf.

The dwarf Angrande clan said more than once that the Ryan brothers were good, but the aesthetics were very problematic.

It is worth mentioning that after being married, female dwarfs are prohibited from leaving their places of residence at will, and are also prohibited from doing the same work as male dwarfs. All they have to do is manage money, housework, and raise children. A female dwarf has a very long childbearing age, generally Many children will be born throughout his life. Ryan heard that the dwarf who has the most Anglond clan has 35 children in her life, five of them are girls.

"I knew that I was trembling with anger, my whole body was cold and sweaty, my hands and feet were cold, the chaos was empty, and the wickedness was rushing in my hand. Can this world be better? What should you do to be satisfied, tears pulled in disappointment? Come out, the world is full of oppression, when can you really stand up?" Lane said with a smile.

"...You guys, I don't want to care about you now, get away with me." Veronica gave Ryan a blank look.

With the passage of time, the army entered a huge underground pit, which is obviously a hall of the ancestors of the dwarves, but it has been abandoned for a long time with a long time.

The army entered the hall of the ancestors. The Slade-Honest person recognized the ancient rune stone. He spent nearly thirty minutes to confirm it carefully, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, this is the place. Of the network roads in the world, only here is still intact, but..."

"But?" Before Ryan came to this giant gate, the expressway leading to the Bafeng Mountain was completely sealed by a gate made of stone walls. The gate was inscribed with very very old runes and a mural. The gate is more than 20 meters high and nearly 50 meters wide, enough for three dwarf troops to pass side by side.

"But we need to know the secret word." Now, under the power of the rune craftsman, it began to shine.

Hundreds of dazzling stars surround a world. A golden phoenix-shaped crown stands between two large trees, while below is an anvil and a hammer. The branches of the tree are like life. The ground was entwined on the door, forming a series of words, half in elven language and half in dwarf language.

"Gosh, it's the mark of Granny!" Bellega said with amazement: "This door is at least five thousand years old, Brother Ryan, come and have a look. Those sharp ears wrote on the door. Something?"

"Friend, just speak through." Ryan looked at the elf text, and he looked at the dwarf language again: "It's the same here."

"Friends?" Bellegar obviously remembered the disgraceful history~www.ltnovel.com~ He waved Angerander's hammer in his hands angrily: "Who are friends with these pointed ears!"

"Friend?" Ryan thought for a moment. He suddenly thought of something. The king immediately rushed to the gate and shouted in elven language: "Friend!"

The door was still.

"Let me try?" Bellegar stepped up. He said a series of contents in the dwarf language, including the name of the dwarf's main god, Bellegar's family orders, ancestral vows and some bitter hatred, and all the names of the Fortress of Eight Peaks.

The door remained unresponsive.

"Strange." Bellega was impatient: "Damn, Granny's hammer, what secret word did the ancestors set on this gate?"

Everyone studied for nearly thirty minutes at the gate and still found nothing.

Ryan was still thinking hard, but Olika came up from behind. The dark elf tipped her toes and kissed on Ryan's face, smiling and signaling Ryan to let go: "Master, you are all wrong."

Before Olika walked to the gate of the ancestors, she changed her tone and used the language of the ancient elven empire. She said softly next to the gate with emotion: "Our friends~"

Above the gate, Master Gruni Rune and Valaya Master Rune flashed successively, and the dwarves stepped back in awe or knelt on one knee.

"Boom~" The doors of the ancestors began to vibrate and shine, and the gears and pulleys that had not been opened for thousands of years began to work. The huge noise echoed deep in the ground, just as the dwarves and the human coalition cheered in unison. At the place where he came in, there was suddenly an extremely boring gale wind, which was mixed with the roar and roar of green skin.

Thousands of green-skin troops appeared at the door of the ancestral hall.

Skasnik and its evil moon tribe arrived.

"Ready to fight!"
