What does it mean to be too clean? Snorri found through the system that the Skaven erosion in Torrent Pass was zero, which was unreasonable for a large fortress in such a geographical location. Torrent Pass is the gateway to the World's Edge Mountains, the largest arms distribution center in the old world, and there was no shortage of foreigners here in the most conservative era of the Mountain Kingdom.
The existence of rats in the dwarf fortress is not a big secret. Every lord has tried, but no matter how elite the iron-smashing warrior is, it is difficult to eradicate them - it is difficult to find them, it is difficult to chase them once they are found, and it is difficult to catch them. They will definitely kill them all. After killing them all, new ones will come in two days.
Snorri quickly made an inference that was close to the actual situation - the Essien clan murdered President Bullock. However, they treated the head and tail too cleanly - this actually worked, preventing lurkers from showing their rat feet in the following days of high security.
"It will be troublesome for the rats to take action. I can't spare any time to conquer the Demonic Rat Abandoned City now, and the information about it is almost zero."
In Snorri's eyes, the threat of the ratmen is several levels higher than that of the greenskins. In addition to their strong innovation capabilities, they also have relatively powerful power agencies. The greenskin's equipment has not been updated for thousands of years. No matter how waaagh the generals are, they basically fight on their own.
Although several powerful clans such as Corruption, Disease, and Moss who were far away from the Rat Wasted City would never listen to the High Priest of Gray Claw and occasionally listened to his propaganda, most small and medium-sized clans were still unable to resist the dominance of the Gray Prophet.
"There's not much we can do, but we can't do nothing. Let the news out, promise huge profits, and let adventurers who want money or life to add some trouble to them. Maybe it can also inspire human forces to pay more attention to rats. "
"Boom!"
A sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts on how to counter the rat-men. When he opened the door, it was Bloxon who saw him. After a few words of greetings and condolences, the engineering master made his purpose clear.
"Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with you. My father has passed away unexpectedly and has not been able to recommend a successor. Several vice-presidents of the guild and King Serentin have agreed that I will temporarily succeed my father."
"I was poached to the point of poaching. Old comrades are not doing their jobs properly! I'm quite willing to give him the position of president directly!"
Snorri secretly murmured in his heart that cultivating talents requires costs. Talent is important, but what is more important is sufficient resources and tolerance for failed attempts.
"This is a good thing! I remember when you and I first met, I had no place to stand, and you almost suffered a crotch ceremony. In addition to the blessings of our ancestors and gods, what we are today is indispensable for our mutual support! But it's a pity. , I have to find someone else to entrust this focusing lens to me!"
With a slight smile, Snorri first expressed his support for Bloxson, but then gave him a nod by recalling his previous struggles. At that time, the bearded elders couldn't accept your whimsical ideas, but only twenty years later have they changed their minds? It is inevitable that you will be hampered by the initial honeymoon period.
"That, that is the artifact left by the god Mogrim!"
Bloxson has always been the core member of Snorri's team. He knows why Haimenguan let go of the Dreadnought. In terms of practicality, this lens is probably still above the war gear.
"So what? As the vice-president of the Rune Blacksmith Guild, I am the king. Keeping the treasure in my hands is not a secret. But make it clear that you can use it when you are in office, and you cannot take it away when you leave office."
Of course, Chen Ming's benefits need to be improved, and someone needs to help him localize the drawings of the Chaos Dwarf war equipment he just obtained from Iron Hand. Activating the focusing lens can greatly improve the accuracy and power of the surrounding war machines, but his own position is obviously to transform into a stone statue and charge into the battle rather than to command the artillery crew.
"I know that following you to realize the instructions of the ancestors and gods is the right path!"
Bloxson stood up and bowed again. Snorri needed him, and of course he had deep feelings for Snorri and the cause of Southland. What's more, if you fully understand the knowledge contained in the artifact left behind by the God of Engineers, you will still have a chance to become the president even if you are in the Southland.
After lingering in the old world for a while, the colossus body and repair materials that the kings had given him arrived at Haimen Pass. After Snorri set out on his way back to the Southland, the cracks on the "pot" were already big enough. It's time to go back and "replenish the pot."
"When the news came out that you were going back, those brats in the Southland were all panicked! Huh, at their worst, they even dared to storm His Excellency Bahrain's office. They really forgot about their mission as soon as they gained a foothold."
Due to the need to transport the Colossus, Prince Parnoson of Haimen Pass personally commanded the fleet. On the bridge, he was holding a beer and muttering to Snorri. As the main link between the Southland and the Old World, they knew how serious the situation was.
"If you want a cure, you have to endure this temporary pain! Bahrain did a good job indeed."
After landing in Kuata, Snorri summoned all the heads of the Southland to meet and announced his strong return.
"Everyone is very lively now that I'm gone. Andemuge, read them one by one! If the person whose name is called has any objections, please raise them on the spot. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance to speak!"
"Francis from Hejian Village: Organized private soldiers to beat up tax collectors and smuggle forest specialties worth over a thousand gold coins!"
"Deprived of all positions, double fines and confiscation of illegal gains!"
"Norman Knight, president of the Carcassonne Brotherhood, you organized a demonstration in the central square of the Demon Slayer Castle, openly provoking the city council, and during the process, you also smashed and looted shops legally operated by Thaksin's followers."
"Thirty punishments with the rod, all property confiscated, and expelled from the Southland!"
"The chief priest of Hongyun Mountain of Lanode Sect organized theft, fraud, and smuggling, involving huge amounts of money, and armed against law enforcement!"
"Fifty lashing, confiscation of all property, and expulsion from the Southland!"
The actions of each human being were reported, and Snorri made a quick judgment based on the plot and the reference opinions of the West Factory. After all, it was against foreigners, and the punishments were concentrated on fines, corporal punishment, and exile. There were no death sentences or prison sentences that restricted personal freedom.
"Electrify the entire Southland. If you fail to show up within the time limit, go to the fortress and surrender yourself. If not, your crime will be increased!"
At first, the guys who were sentenced looked at the leaders of various sects expectantly, but as they looked at each other, the leader of the human race who took the lead in making trouble seemed to have his backbone ripped out.
Of course, Snorri did not let go of the sect. He labeled Nightcrawler Ranold and the other most troublesome little god as obscene priests and banned them directly. The most radical clergy were subsequently exiled, including followers of the Lake God and Sigmar.
In terms of the lifespan of a dwarf demigod, Snorri is young enough. At the same time, he is not restricted by external factors and can move freely to exert his power. Even a true god would not want to fall out with the strongest fighting force in the world that relies on an ancient race.
