"Alas, after being king for so many years, I still have to take care of my beard myself, tsk!"
Standing in front of the mirror, Snorri smoothed his beard and prepared to tie it up with a beard ring. All these years of running around have caused the black beard to grow from the chest to above the navel, and it's time to clean it up.
Due to the imbalance in the ratio of men to women, the dwarf tradition is that male nobles use attendants, and only female nobles use maids. Although he has been in this world for more years than in his previous life, Snorri still believes that his daily life should not be taken care of by a bucket-shaped man. In addition, he has no fixed place to live and has secrets. He has always taken care of it himself. .
Every time he attended a banquet where his old subordinates were getting married and having children, and seeing the scene of everyone being happy and happy, Snorri couldn't help but think about how well the dragon girl in Nangao was doing, but unfortunately the affairs at hand didn't allow it. He planned a long trip.
As expected, Belegar's immigration plan ran into a lot of problems. Snorri intervened several times in advance by relying on his ability to control his territory after joining the gang, and even went so far as to personally intervene to suppress and coordinate, so that the banks of the Poisonous Water River were barely stable. Come down.
The desperadoes from the border princes came here with the idea of picking up money and making a fortune. When they went to the place, they found that they were opening up wasteland in barren mountains and rivers. This is no longer a question of whether they have ideas but whether they take direct action.
Snorri carefully controlled the proportion of carrots and sticks, and built farms around several larger strongholds. After completing the production of the broadbladed muskets, the Southland Engineers Guild began to improve the Chaos Dwarf Skull Grudger.
Recognizing the huge role of mechanical equipment in clearing land and dredging rivers, Snorri decisively ordered the suspension of the assembly of weapon systems, named the experimental model with only power "tractor", and put it into the development of the Poison River.
When developing the Southland, Snorrie deliberately extended the construction period and slowed down the progress in order to create as many jobs as possible for the new immigrants. When we arrived at the Dushui River, the main goal was to make the place "livable" as quickly as possible.
In addition to the difficulties in internal development, the Poisonous Water River territory is also always facing external threats. Who among the green-skinned warlords in the Badlands doesn't want to engage in some dwarf-made chops? There was an endless stream of infiltration and sneak attacks carried out by small groups of troops.
The Skaven at the foot of the Eight Peaks Mountain are also ready to make a move. After expanding northward from the Cladro Gate, the strategic goals of the Andergrand clan became clear again in the eyes of the boss Gnoldor - the Eight Peaks Mountain, or the Eight Peaks Fengshan, the beard stuff hasn’t changed at all in thousands of years!
Belegar's several years of dormancy and Quirk's defeat made the old mouse temporarily stop his plan to cut off the last bloodline of Eight Peaks Mountain and focus on driving away the evil moon greenskins from the upper levels of the fortress. But its rat mind always knows who is the greater threat.
During the long struggle, Xie Yue's balance has been clearly weighed. Apart from exploding more babies in terms of quantity, she has no other trump card, and she continues to import more advanced technology and more ferocious war beasts from the Demon Rat Abandoned City. The enemy retreats. I'm going in, it's nothing to worry about.
On the dwarf side, the boy named Belegar was much smarter than his father and brother who died here one after another and whose beards were woven into carpets, but the demigod Snorri standing behind him and dominating the Southland made the old mouse sleep and eat. Uneasy.
Iron Peak Castle has been reporting unusual movements of the Moss clan for several months. There are also ships in the bay claiming to have witnessed the ferocious warships of the Skaven. Perhaps they have begun to seek help from the old world.
As the saying goes, "The first step is to attack the enemy with troops, then the second is to attack the enemy." The troops and the siege of the city must be carried out at the rear. A wise military general cannot roll up his sleeves when faced with a problem. It is advisable to take some measures in advance to strengthen himself and weaken the enemy.
Although he said he wanted to find some opponents to try his two newly acquired treasures, Snorri also knew that the war was not urgent at this moment. As long as it is clear that one's own development speed is faster than that of the enemy, then time is on one's side.
"A group of surprisingly strong black orcs wearing iron armor appeared near Steel Rock?"
The news from the scouts made Snorri frown. Gorbad Ironclaw, the most waaagh greenskin warlord in history, built that terrifying war fortress after unifying the badlands and established the "Dok Rock" as his own. Symbol of domination.
After that, Iron Rock seemed to have become a holy place in the eyes of green skins. Those who own it are not necessarily the most waaagh, but those who want to be the most waaagh must own it. It’s no surprise that Ironhide, as Gorge’s chosen one, wants to take over Steel Rock.
"The badlands are going to be in chaos. At least it's not bad news."
Ironhide and his undead bodyguards, coupled with the equipment stolen from the Chaos Dwarves, are destined to be a force that cannot be underestimated. With Gotrek summoned, Snorri had an interesting plan in mind.
"You lead a team from Cladro Gate to the Nagash Wasteland. Remember to be loud and move slowly."
"Jun, uh, why?"
The God of War's chosen one is not just a reckless man, and the middle and upper levels of the Southland are aware of the pressure Dushuihe Territory is facing. Under such circumstances, it would be strange to divide the troops and march eastward instead of moving them northward.
"What's there? Ratmen, right? Although the depletion of the warpstone has caused the main force of the clan to move, there are still many side branches left there. The members of several branches all have a place in the Council of Thirteen."
The tasks of these guys include not only continuing to mine the remaining mineral veins, exploring possible new mineral veins, but also monitoring the situation in the Southland, Badland, Darkland, and the followers of Nagash.
"Those cowards can't resist us, so they will ask for help, right?"
"Well, go on, what next?"
Snorri inspired his own champion. The dwarves have been shrinking since the Dark Ages. It would be good if the lords of various lords could defend the fortress. There were many generals who were good at defending, but no handsome talents with strategic vision emerged.
"Then, the Blight Swamp is thousands of miles away from there. We'll wait and wait for the reinforcements to come and catch them all!"
"Well, think about it again, at such a long distance, do they have any other choice but to come here by themselves? For example, the Moss clan in Bafeng Mountain or the Grin clan in Camelback Mountain?"
"Hiss, will they be obedient? And what if they don't come to rescue but directly attack Belegar and force me to come back for reinforcements? I remember you told me about this plan."
"Being able to ask this means you are starting to think. To be honest, I don't know either. That's Carlos Fateweaver's ability to be the best at everything. If one plan doesn't work, there will naturally be two plans. Don't worry and do it. .King Kazador will cooperate with you to build this encirclement point beautifully."
Snorri stroked his newly-groomed beard. He didn't think the Moss clan had much power left. The persistent Evil Moon Night Goblins will be more sensitive to the mobilization of the rat men's army than themselves, and this time they may be able to explore the roots of the grinning clan.
