Bahrain was once again sent as a messenger to meet with the Tomb King Tutankhamun III who now ruled Quarta. The young dwarf advisor knew that he would have little success on the battlefield, so he was willing to take diplomatic risks in order to gain honor.
After Settra awakened, he defeated the other Tomb Kings and re-enfranchised them. For the skeletons, the conditions that restrict the living places such as whether there is water and whether it is livable are no longer important. So at least every king was assigned a place.
The effect of the papyrus stamped by the Immortal Emperor was immediate, and the dwarves soon obtained authorization to build a small harbor. Most of the dwarves were skilled craftsmen, and they completed their work almost overnight.
A large amount of supplies were unloaded from the sailing ship. After Snorri gave some gifts, Tutankhamun III generously sent his skeleton chariot to load the supplies for the dwarves.
After loading all the supplies, Panosun will prepare to return home. Snorri has been thinking about it these past few days, but hesitates to speak. He doesn't know whether the Prince Haimenguan in front of him is trustworthy. But in the end, the desire for the artifact parts trumped the vague worries.
Snorri asked Parnoson to bring a secret letter back to Cousin Tommy, the content of which was to collect information for him about the Nine Books of Nagash in the old world. Collecting such blasphemous books is taboo anywhere.
The Thunder of Grimnir roared away, but Altman Yanmei stayed behind due to Bloxson's solicitation. Snorri purchased two Dwarf helicopters, but he did not have enough experienced pilots.
This is not because his appeal is insufficient. The tribesmen who are willing to leave the earth and embrace the sky are the most adventurous group even in the most open Torrent Pass. But Serendin, the king of Jufba, refused to let him go.
To train a qualified pilot, one must first learn a large amount of theoretical knowledge, and then undergo hundreds of hours of practical training. The resources required can be said to be the most consumed among all combat units.
Even if Snorri spent revival points to exert an energetic effect on King Serendine, he would only provide some apprentices who had not completed all training. These dwarves can only be said to be able to drive, but have no experience at all in how to perform reconnaissance and combat missions.
The addition of Altman makes up for this deficiency. He is an experienced aircraft pilot and engineer.
Under the guidance of a tomb prince who served as a guide, the dwarf army chose to take advantage of the low temperature at night to set off in the desert. But even if they escaped the torture of the scorching sun during the day, the march was still not smooth.
The dwarves were so heavy that they could easily sink into the sand pit, while the skeletons were extremely light in comparison. The guide in front ignored the obstacles and took the shortest route in a straight line, but there were many places where Snorri's men could not pass.
After stopping and going all night, they only advanced a dozen kilometers. After the sun came out, the troops stayed overnight on the dark side of the sand dunes. Sand erosion tortured the team of three thousand men. Neither the dwarves, humans, nor Amazons had any experience marching in the desert.
Fortunately, this was the beginning of the expedition. The troops had good morale and sufficient supplies. They waited until dusk before setting off. Such an army also attracted many undead creatures from the desert.
Jackals, sand lizards, scorpions, etc. hide in the dark and plot against Snorri's men. There are only skeletons left of these guys. They no longer have the fear of creatures, but they still retain their bloodthirsty instinct.
The dwarves and knights were so tight that they were not injured by these resurrected beasts, but the war horses and Amazons suffered some losses. Snorri also noticed a bear, which was Andermg's mount, but this ranger had no experience in marching in the desert and had not yet shown anything extraordinary.
After another night of marching, the Grand Canyon finally appeared in front of us. The army went in under the scorching sun and found a shady mountain col to rest.
"Bah! Prince, after we capture Plateau Castle, we have to come back and repair this broken road!" Henryd spat and sat down on the ground. The strong man ate a lot of sand along the way. .
"Yes, if you want to be rich, you must build roads first!" Snorri himself was not affected. The master-level pass runes on Stari's boots made him walk on the ground. But he was anxious when he saw the hard work of his subordinates, and while thinking about countermeasures, he was also grateful for the generosity of Kragg the Cruel.
"Send the helicopter out! Look at the situation in Karag-Hongyun Mountain!" Snorri looked at the red color on the horizon and gave the order. Hongyun Mountain is an active volcano. It is named after the lava that spews out of the crater and turns half of the sky red.
Kalage-Hongyun Mountain is the south-facing gateway to the middle World's Edge Mountains. After passing the Coffin Canyon, it is the southern World's Edge Mountains. It is a fortress dug out of the mountain. First there was Hongyun Mountain, and later there were the tombs of the kings in Coffin Canyon.
If Snorri wants to further explore the Southern World Edge Mountains, he must first take control of Red Cloud Mountain in his own hands. It is foreseeable that for a long time in the future, he will have to communicate with the outside world by water transport from Coffin Canyon to Kuata. This fortress guarding the canyon cannot be lost.
The helicopter pilots wiped off the sand and dust, performed some simple maintenance, and then took off. They turned back half an hour later.
Looking at the approaching helicopter, Snorri couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart. The rune transmitter he developed made the already in short supply of rune blacksmiths even more popular. After all, no one was charging the rune transmitter, which could only transmit some simple messages at a time.
This directly caused Snorri, the vice-president, to be a mere commander in the association. He had no apprentices of his own, and the process of hiring other rune blacksmiths was not smooth. Everyone knows that this expedition to Snorri will account for the bulk of the profits, especially unique things like runes and treasures.
So why don't you accept employment near the core area of dwarves if you are just making money? Compared to attacking Snorri in an unknown land, his status is higher and safer.
"What is in the fortress now?" Snorri asked as he looked at Altman who got off the helicopter.
"Greenskins! An Greenskin warband."
"Greenskins? No rats?" Snorri muttered.
"Rat? I'm not sure. If there are any, aren't those Skaven also underground? Or..." Altman was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know for a moment whether the presence of rats was a reminder from some ancestor god. .
"It's okay!" Snorri stood up. According to the memory of his previous life, Carragher - there should be a guy wearing only red plate armor in Hongyun Mountain - Headhunter Quick, but it seems that it's not time for that guy to appear yet. . If possible, Snorri wouldn't mind not even giving it a chance to play.
