Looking at those floating ghosts, the dwarf warriors from the World's Edge Mountains were a little frightened. They had never seen such a thing before, but fortunately Snorri's order came in time.
Soon, tribesmen with rune weapons gathered from all over, and they waved the weapons in their hands to greet the banshee. However, the Banshee is very flexible as a spirit body. She moved around among the dwarves and did not withstand many attacks in two or three rounds.
"Let me do it!" Stringer squeezed up from the crowd. The cairn spirit moved slower than the banshee, so they kept some distance apart. Seeing that his men were struggling to deal with the banshee, Stringer decided to do something.
"Unleash your anger!" He triggered his own runes of anger and destruction, and the stone cairn spirits were blown up and down, but none of them were scattered. After all, these are already considered high-level undead and Stringer's runes are not very strong yet.
"It's a bit troublesome. That thing seems to be able to directly hurt the soul!" Two or three tribesmen were stabbed by the long sword that was also a spirit body in the hands of the banshee. Their shields had no runes attached, so they had no effect and were directly penetrated. There were no wounds on their bodies, but they went down straight.
"Varaya is on top! Captain, please lead someone to save this wailing soul!" Snorri saw the spirit binding in the distance getting up unsteadily, and approached the village again with the scythe and ordered.
"Yes!" The Eternal Hammer guards rushed forward in unison. They were different from the tribesmen who gathered together temporarily and did not cooperate with each other.
Seventy-eight two-handed warhammers engraved with three ordinary runes struck the banshee from all directions, and the space for her to move was completely blocked. At this moment, as if she had received some instructions, she let out a sharp roar and then spun into the air.
"Dwarf, my master said that even though you are not big enough, the two of you can still form a skeleton soldier together!" The banshee said a harsh word and then wanted to retreat.
"Come when you want, leave when you want? Do you think this is your grave?" Snorri shouted on the anvil. He triggered the skill and hit out with a storm hammer.
The war hammer dragged the rune's glow across the night sky like a meteor, hitting the banshee in mid-air. Although the war hammer itself passed through, the extraordinary power attached to it still caused considerable damage to the banshee.
The war hammer directly punched a hole in the spirit body of the banshee, but after all, the Storm Hammer still relied on the hammer itself to cause damage, so the banshee was not killed directly.
The Cairn Binding Spirit covered the Banshee and began to retreat without handing over. The dwarves cheered for victory, but Snorri suddenly hammered the armrest of his seat.
"What's wrong?" Balin asked in a low voice.
"This is a test by the enemy. Our results are so small that they can be ignored, but they have basically achieved their goals! Our elite troops and extraordinary power have been completely exposed!"
Snorri blamed himself. This was a conspiracy. Even if he had seen through it before, there was still no good way to deal with those spirits that could not be killed by physical means. The most he could do was to be less exposed.
"Don't let your guard down, the Vampires have flying troops, and they may organize another attack at any time!" Snorri reminded several commanders around him as he looked at the cheering tribesmen outside.
Perhaps he thought that he did not have enough troops to defeat this dwarf army, so the following night was uneventful. The next day, under the surveillance of bats, a tall and prosperous castle appeared in sight.
"We're here! It looks like everything is as usual!" Constantine's worried heart was relieved. He was going on this trip to ask for help at a fast pace. He had no horses to ride with the army on the return trip, so he could only worry in his heart.
"Come into the city, let's have a formal dinner tonight!" The two sides parted ways at the gate of the city. After Snorri stationed his army, he headed to the dwarf settlement here. Along the way, Snorri felt the prosperity of the city of Bordello.
With the help of the natural harbor, shipping here is very developed, and a large number of merchants gather here from all over the world. The wealth of the knights and nobles attracted them deeply,
Although there are still many ports in the northern part of the Old World, the Sea of Claws has always been under threat from Norscan raiders, and it is relatively safer for ocean-going merchants to unload their cargo here.
"Is this silk?" Snorri was rummaging through the merchandise in front of a stall.
"Honorable elder, you are really well-informed. This thing comes from the Cathay Empire in the Far East. The people there used wonderful magic to weave them. It turned into a butterfly..."
This businessman came from the Southland. He obviously knew that the dwarves had a lot of gold coins, and he actively promoted his products to Snorri. However, when he quoted a sky-high price of one hundred gold coins, Snorri decisively refused.
After booking a hotel in the settlement, the dwarves headed to the Duke's mansion after a brief rest. This is a city within a city close to a cliff. Once the outer city is breached, defense can be organized again based on the geographical location.
Walking all the way to the banquet hall, Snorri felt that Bordeaux Castle was less historical and more magnificent than the previous Bastogne Castle. Constantine, dressed in formal attire, welcomed his helpers outside the door.
The participants on the human side are all followers of the sea god Mannann, except for a Holy Grail knight who was originally guarding the Holy Land and came to support after hearing the news. They are Ms. Schumann, the high-ranking Poseidon priest, the captain of the Harbor Guard, and Sir Ramos, the head of the Ocean Chamber of Commerce.
The Ocean Chamber of Commerce is called the Chamber of Commerce, but it is actually more than that. It is a semi-official organization supported by Duke Bordero behind the scenes to indirectly control various industries under the authority of Poseidon. As the spokesman of the ducal family on this side, Constantine himself also held some positions in it.
"Thank you dwarf friends for coming all the way to help!" With the simple opening remarks and introductions, the banquet officially began soon. Everyone here has something on their mind. Snorri traveled across three principalities and came here certainly not for a dinner, so everyone ate very quickly.
"Everyone, we are gathered here mainly for two major events!" As the participants put down their knives and forks one after another, Constantine picked up the wine glass. In Bordello, it is etiquette to have a drink before getting down to business.
"On the sea, dirty blood pirates are cruising! Half of our fleet has set sail to transport military supplies. All the remaining troops can do is to prevent them from rushing into the harbor. This also depends on the help of Ms. Schumann and her disciples' spells. !”
"And in the shadows of Chalon Forest, evil is brewing! News of graveyards being dug up and temples being desecrated came from almost every village near the forest!"
