Belegar Ironhammer spoke passionately for a long time, but found that no one made any reaction for him. In fact, he had already visited many leaders in advance before the formal meeting, but he did not get any decent support before he proposed it at the meeting.
It was partly because Snorri was squatting in the guild workshop and busy making armor, and partly because he wanted to avoid Belegar after hearing the news of his arrival.
As for the Andegrand clan regaining their homeland, all dwarves should support it. But as a matter of fact, these single-minded guys have achieved "staged success" countless times, or simply failed.
Basically every organization in the dwarf countries has been picked up by them more than once, and only a single seedling of the once big clan itself is left. Most of the dwarves knew that Belegar could not regain the Eight Peaks Mountain, and they were unwilling to throw their precious manpower and material resources into this bottomless pit.
"Well, I understand, let's discuss it later."
Thorgreen looked around on the throne and skipped the topic after noticing that no one was answering. Belegar sat down, the scars on his face twisted, obviously trying to endure something.
Now he has just made his debut, and he is not yet the true master of Eight Peaks Mountain who is second only to Agrim in fighting skills between Quick and Skarsnik, and whose underground combat ability ranks first among the dwarves. And his political performance is even more immature than military.
Belegar looked in Snorri's direction before sitting down, and the Southland King was forced to avoid his gaze. With a huge reputation and being the chosen one of the ancestral gods, his attitude can already influence the mountains, and in this hall, he is considered the person who should support Belegar the most.
"You can't hide, so how can I delay it further? This will give the Southland more time to develop and increase the possibility of retaking Bafeng Mountain." Snorri was lost in thought.
Seeing Snorri's performance, Belega was also thinking as he sat down. He remembered that the night before, a clan leader who once belonged to the Eight Peaks Mountain sneaked into the hotel where he was resting and told him that Thorgreen was in contact with his aunt.
At that time, Belega had a strange feeling that this might not be a bad thing. He had never seen the grand splendor of the fortresses in the legendary Golden Age. His obsession there came from the name of the Andegrand clan and the voices around him such as "The throne of Eight Peaks Mountain belongs to you, that is your right!"
This young dwarf has some idea of whether he can regain Bafeng Mountain. Although he has summoned the spirits of the four ancestors, his own abilities are not stronger than those of his ancestors, and he does not have more power than them. The enemies he faces are Not weaker than them.
After seeing the cruelty of the battlefield and experiencing the death of relatives, the last bloodline of the Andergrand clan was a little shaken. What he needed more urgently besides substantive help was some spiritual support, and Snorri, who had the final power to interpret his faith, was his only life-saving straw.
The Hatred Conference was a long process. After each organization completed its report, Thorgreen presided over the discussion. He finally sorted out several great hatreds, cut his fingers and wrote them in blood on the Book of Great Hatreds.
After the main venue ended, it was time for private communication. Agrim stood up and left. He had some business to attend to during his trip. Snorri's success inspired the Butcher King, and he planned to send troops to Red Eye Mountain again.
Snorri was stopped, and he greeted one person in charge after another, listening to their praises and sending blessings to them. After finally getting away, he had time to find the person he had made an appointment with.
"Master Tiemei, I've known you for a long time. It must have been a hard journey all the way here!" Looking at the dwarf who had been waiting for a long time in the reception room, Snorri said hello.
"It is indeed not easy. In order to fight out of the Badlands, my anvil has been knocked red-hot. But it is a great honor to come to the Eternal Peak to meet the Lord of the Mountains, not to mention that you and the respected Master Krag are also here. .”
The speaker raised his head. His most striking feature was his pair of unusually thick eyebrows. Thorek is also very strict at work and has the habit of frowning, which became the source of his nickname.
Thorek-Ironbrow, Runemaster of Iron Peak Castle. Like all rune masters, he is highly skilled and powerful, but the difference is that Iron Eyebrow is more mobile.
He is willing to go to the battlefield to provide help to the army, and is also willing to organize expeditions into lost fortresses to search for lost skills. Snorri's artifact library system also belonged to him in the original game.
"Yes, we have been friends with each other for a long time, but today we have a chance to meet him!" Snorri sighed. The colleague in front of him could be said to be an opportunity for him to travel through time. However, Tiemei thought that Snorri was referring to the fact that the two sides had maintained communication after retaking the Southland.
"To make a long story short, what do you think about opening up the passage between Hongyun Mountain and Tiefengbao?" Tiemei raised the topic he was most concerned about. There were many reasons why he could take the risk to make this trip, but this was the most critical one among them. .
"Establishing contact with your territory is an important task in the second stage of the development of my territory. I swear in the name of the ancestors and gods that I will start to implement it when the mountains on the edge of the southern world achieve full food self-sufficiency." Snorri smiled. made his own promise.
"This, this is really great!" Iron Eyebrows stretched out, "Since the last fall of Dragon Cliff Castle, Karak-Azul has been fighting alone for more than a thousand years! Since His Majesty Kazador, every Even an ax from Tiefengbao is willing to work for China Unicom Southland!"
Karak-Dragon Cliff Castle was destroyed by a giant dragon three thousand years ago. It took 1,500 years before a dragon slayer appeared and killed it, rebuilt Dragon Cliff Castle and proclaimed himself king.
But the good times didn't last long. Without the threat of the dragon, the greenskins came over again. Since the original defense facilities had been completely destroyed, Dragon Cliff Castle was undefendable, and the dwarves were forced to abandon the city and leave.
"This may be a long process, and we have to proceed step by step." Snorridu muttered, and he suddenly thought of Belegar again. Since Iron Peak Castle is closest to the Eight Peaks Mountain, it has always been an important supporter of the Andegrand clan's recovery plan, but if they transfer their forces to the south, Belega will have even less power.
Tiemei left in a hurry, rushing to pay a visit to Master Kragg. There is no rune master who doesn't want to get advice from the demigod, even if the advice is mixed with questions and complaints.
"The Exotic Land Development of Vegetable-Growing Skeletons"
"Bellegar-Ironhammer wants to see you!" As soon as Ironbrow left, Gotrek stepped in. The face of the young strong man was filled with unconcealable pride, and his status as the flag bearer of the King of the South Land was enough to bring glory to his family.
"Invite him in!" Snorri sighed.

Thank you all for your support. I will defend myself at the end of the month. I will try to update it every day after I finish my defense in June.
