"The construction of spiritual vein sequence buildings is easier said than done. What's more important is that I don't know if I will be discovered by other demon toads if I use the power of spiritual veins. These fourth and fifth generations in the south are fine, but It’s hard to say whether Master Ma and Master Ke know about it, and whether they want to take care of it or not.”
"Huh? In the core area, no one is allowed to pass!"
Snorri was thinking as he walked out, when suddenly several handfuls of guys stuck out from around the corner and stopped him.
"Which department are you in? What are you doing here?"
As soon as he heard the collision of armor and weapons, Snorri's body reacted subconsciously. The combat experience brought by the southern and northern wars was not dulled by three years of study. He had all his skills ready before he realized that he was surrounded by several drunken fellows.
"Are you, Your Majesty Snorri?"
The stunned dwarves saw the crown of wisdom on Snorri's head and realized that they were blocking the person they wanted to protect.
"Come on, tell me what major events have happened in the past three years, if you are still awake."
Snorri muttered, anyone would inevitably feel unhappy if they found their security personnel in such a state. Drinking and causing trouble have always existed in dwarf society, but it has also been ignored by the tribesmen intentionally or unintentionally.
"The Sword Comes"
Out of the mine, a small group of patrolling rangers discovered their king. After being escorted to the gate of Plateau Castle, Snorri found that this place was much more prosperous than three years ago, and a castle town appeared in front of the rune gate.
"You are finally out, my lord!"
Balin rushed out at a trot. His current position is Snorri's chief civil officer and a councilor of Karak-Zun.
"You've worked hard these past three years." Balin looked much older, and Snorri still remembered the look of his baby face at the beginning. However, this young man has been nourished by power, and his spirit is obviously good.
"Thanks to you and the ancestors and gods, our territory changes almost every day!" Balin said as he led Snorri inside.
"It does look great. Reducing the interference of the royal power is the only way to accelerate development." Snorri said to himself. He called up the system and found that the opposite of the extremely high development value was the unsatisfactory public order.
"The first is immigration. With the addition of friends from the Human Empire, Southland has completed the first phase of immigration goals you set and has basically achieved food self-sufficiency."
Entering the uppermost office, Bahrain's subordinates had prepared documents and maps.
"The railway has also been built, and engineers are making final adjustments. The entire line will be open to traffic soon."
"Yes, just as planned!"
Snorri praised that the construction of this railway in Southland was not too difficult. If he wanted to do it at the same time, he could shorten the construction period significantly. The reason why it was delayed for three years was so that the newly arrived immigrants could immediately find jobs to support their families in Hukou, and also to train some local engineers.
"Externally, the situation is mainly concentrated in Hongyun Mountain Fortress. Some of the Tomb Kings east of Coffin Canyon have awakened, and there seems to be dark forces brewing in Miya."
"So we mobilized some of our troops?" Snorri asked, combined with the guards who were of average quality before.
"Yes, well, I think, maybe." Bahrain hesitated.
"It doesn't matter. Speak boldly. I understand." Snorri waved his hand. He knew that being the hands-off shopkeeper would definitely cause some problems, especially during the rapid development stage.
Dwarves are not good at adapting by nature, and it is common for them to fail to come up with good solutions to new problems and challenges. But he also had difficulties in doing so. The good relationship with the lizard people was based on the promise of repairing the Spirit Vein Bridge Tower, and he had to take it to heart even if Eutrax didn't urge him.
"Phew! In addition to the original greenskins, Skaven have also been discovered in the Misty Mountains. Your senior brother, Master Nathan, and Gotrek the Dauntless are working hard to clean them up. In addition, King Belegar is stationed in Kra Dromen, but the fortress has been abandoned for a long time, and he and his men need more help."
"So it's a multi-front battle, so you mobilized some of the troops from Plateau Fort?" Snorri patiently listened to Bahrain's analysis.
"Yes, I have also mobilized part of the power of Demon Slaughter Castle, and the human immigrants have assumed their due defensive responsibilities." Bahrain touched his short beard.
Snorri leaned back in his chair, now that the throne of Plateau Castle finally had a cushion. He understood the difficulties Bahrain faced, mobilizing levies in the Southland where no one had power or prestige but himself.
Considering that the current war is still controllable and it is difficult to define "extremely important situations", it is understandable that Bahrain does not want to disturb itself and adjusts the distribution of troops within its scope of authority.
"I need to form a standing army, in addition to the Anvil Guard and the Hammer Guard!" Snorri knocked on the handrail while mentally balancing the size and development of the army.
"In the future, whether it is the Bafeng Mountain or the Northern Expedition, it will be a real tough battle. The temporary recruitment of tribesmen who lack combat experience may cause huge losses. Training a group of professional soldiers through small-scale battles will be very cost-effective!"
The King of the Southland made up his mind. The railway was about to be completed and a considerable amount of manpower would be released. At this time, recruiting troops could be regarded as creating new jobs.
"You want to form a new standing army? Then there is a group of strong and long-bearded warriors worthy of your favor." Bahrain rarely makes suggestions on military issues.
"Is there still this matter? You tell me!" Snorri was also aroused.
"Two years ago, a group of respectable veterans established an organization, hoping to get official recognition. Although I didn't bother you, I always kept it in mind." Balin said, pulling out a document from the safe.
"They named their organization the Demon-Slaying Brotherhood. The members are all warriors who participated in the Great Holy War under the leadership of His Majesty Thor Green and King Orrickson, and then joined our expeditionary force all the way to Plateau Castle."
"The Wrath of Grimnir! Defeated the Chaos Demon Army twice, each of them is the true wealth of the mountains!" Snorri looked at the signatures on the document attachment. The youngest among these veterans had to From the age of two hundred and fifty and up, it can be said that they are all long-bearded venerables.
"Pass my order and summon them immediately! At this juncture, the Southland needs their axes." Snorri was secretly happy. In his opinion, this would be the first elite unit under his command.
In previous games, the excellent attributes of elite troops and the fact that they did not require recruitment time had solved his urgent needs countless times. Snorri believed that the Demon-Slaying Brotherhood would not let him down.
