"Go ahead and do it! The total number of standing troops to be recruited will be calculated as a thousand people first. If it is diluted to four fortresses, there won't be much left."
Seeing that Balin was still standing there, Snorri urged. Although the dwarf lords generally believe that mining and blacksmithing can be seamlessly combined with hitting people and beheading, in fact this is only the most gold-saving option, and you still have to have the most basic respect for war.
"One more thing is that Miss Wan'er conveyed Minglong Yinyin's intention to visit the Southland."
"It should be called Minglong. It seems that the previous translation was not honest and elegant enough." Snorri sighed. In the past three years, the cooperation between his territory and Aurora has become closer, and it is appropriate for the high-level meetings of both parties to be put on the agenda. Something happened.
"Convey my invitation. The Southland and even the entire mountains welcome Princess Yinyin at any time. I myself am also happy to go to Fuzhou City to appreciate the scenery of Cathay and even go to Heaven to meet Dragon Emperor Haotian, but all this will not be resolved until After the problem at Hongyun Mountain."
Snorri signaled Balin to get busy. He currently had two important things on hand, namely repairing the Spirit Vein Bridge Tower of the Bone Temple and heading north to Red Cloud Mountain. Both of these things will not take too long, and may have a chain reaction behind them.
As his understanding of spiritual veins gradually deepened, he couldn't help but start to think about what would happen if the bridge tower was repaired. Apart from anything else, Eutrax will definitely be able to contact Lustria's ancestors. Who knows what their attitude will be then?
If Ku'ga is sent here like in the game, Snorri doesn't want to have any unpleasantness with the last guardian of Ashoto. Commander Ku who is in charge of the Hand of the Gods and the war spear of the god Talax is definitely One of the most powerful individuals in the world.
"Let the lizardmen suffer a little longer. They have suffered for so long anyway!" The King of the Southland shook his head and made a decision. He needed to stabilize his territory so that he could deal with other accidents.
"My lord, news from President Bloxson, the railway has completely passed the inspection and can be officially opened to traffic at any time!"
Just as Snorri was checking the progress of his nominal apprentices in the runesmith guild hall, the telegraph operator brought him the news he had been waiting for. Snorri once again abandoned his apprentices, since runesmiths needed a lot of time to learn the basics anyway.
"Make arrangements and celebrate well! This is an important milestone for us in Southland!" Snorri's excited shouts spread throughout the entire floor.
"Dear compatriots and friends of mankind, with the blessing of the ancestors and gods, the wise leadership of His Majesty Snorri, and the unremitting efforts of all of you, the Southern World Edge Mountains Railway has finally been completed!"
A few days later, the Gaoyuanbao Station was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. The dignitaries stood in a row on the stage, and the audience was packed under the stage. Bahrain, who served as the host, looked radiant. He had probably never spoken in front of so many people.
What is even more attractive today besides the grand scale of the ceremony is that Snorri, the King of the Southland, attended a public event for the first time after living in seclusion for three years. You know, the new immigrants in recent years have heard all about Snorri's great achievements, but they have never seen him in person.
"The railway is an important supporting project in our Southland. Its completion marks a new page in the development of this land and will surely have a positive impact on all aspects of our lives..."
"Please allow me to introduce the guests attending today's ceremony. The first is the co-choice of the ancestors and gods, Snorri Thorson, the King of the Southland!"
Waving to the cheering crowd and looking at the hopeful smiles on their faces, Snorri felt a strong sense of accomplishment. He still remembered the lifeless Karaz-a-Karak when he first crossed over, full of mutterings and complaints. Now, everything was different.
"...Member of the Presbyterian Council of Spider Web Mountain, Garrison Commander Glatt - Spider Hunter; and I, Councilor of Plateau Castle, Balin of the Glezman Family!"
The young dwarf introduced himself last as usual, and Snorri knew that he had also received some commendable nicknames for his outstanding contributions in domestic affairs. But in this big scene, he chose to announce his clan name. It was obvious that Bahrain carried the hope of the revival of the once glorious ancient clan on his shoulders.
"In addition, the guests present include His Majesty the Great Singer Casmir VII; Ms. Wan'er, the representative of the Governor of the Southern Provinces of Cathay in the South; the Immortal Emperor's special envoy and the King of Quata, Tutankhamun III; Lord St. Marvin and Lady Freya from Bretonnia!..."
In addition to the dwarves, allies from all walks of life were also invited to this ceremony. In addition to Pointy Ears, all order races can be found.
"Now, I declare that the completion ceremony of the Southern World Edge Mountains Railway has officially begun. Let's start with the first item: the cannons and the music!"
"Second item, I would like to invite Master Bloxon, the chief engineer and chief railway engineer of Southland, to introduce the specifics of the project!"
"The third item, please invite the High King's special envoy to speak!"
"For the fourth item, I would like to invite Master Nathan, the chairman of the Hongyun Mountain Presbyterian Council, to announce the commendation for the advanced workers in the construction process!"
"The fifth item, invite representatives of advanced workers to speak!"
.
.
"Finally, I would like to invite His Majesty Snorri to speak with warm applause!"
"I declare that the South China Railway is officially open to traffic! Everyone, let us celebrate this great moment together!"
"beep!"
As soon as Snorri finished speaking, the locomotive stopped in the station whistled in response. The dwarf king raised his hands and drank the beer in the cup, signaling the end of the ceremony and the beginning of the celebration.
"Let me think about it, let's designate today as a festival in the Southland. I think even on the day when the rocks are broken into gravel by the breeze, the benefits brought by the opening of this railway will be remembered by the residents of the Southland."
A drunken Snorri sat at his desk. His gaze seemed to reach through the window to the end of the World's Edge Mountains.
As a lord, Snorri has the right to add new festivals in his territory. In dwarven society, festivals are divided into those determined by seasonal changes or related to the three main gods, so all tribesmen celebrate them and are unique to certain cities and guilds.
The former is represented by Granny and Midsummer, while the latter such as Demon Slayer Castle will be celebrated on the day when the expeditionary force defeated the demon army of Nurgle, and Spider Web Mountain will be celebrated on the day when the reproductive queen was killed.
"Dear Plague Exorcist, the Demon-Slaying Brotherhood reports to you!"
The group of bearded veterans who appeared in front of Snorri were burly and sharp-eyed. At first glance, they looked like they had rushed out of the sea of blood from the mountain of corpses. These people all use two-handed weapons, and the axes are shining with the light of runes. Weapons engraved with appropriate runes can add magical damage, which is very effective against demons.
