Snorri and his men were immersed in the joy of searching after the war. This time was his biggest harvest after so many battles, large and small, since time travel. It can even be said to be more than the previous ones combined.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Snorri had previously fought in the mountains, either fighting rats or greenskins.
The rat people are not without money, but most of the wealth of the entire Demon Rat Empire is in the hands of the great clans that have a place in the Thirteen Councils. The smaller clans are being exploited, and they have to pay for what they have worked so hard for.
Use some resources to trade some high-priced war beasts and equipment to avoid being annexed by other clans.
Not to mention those green-skinned ones, they don't even have the habit of collecting valuable metals. Many weapons and equipment are given special abilities by the power of waaagh, and are of no use to ordinary people.
Relying on the prompts from the artifact storage system, Snorri accurately pulled out the dwarf collar from Captain Salazar's relics. This thing can be combined with the spark gem to form Raton's beast-controlling collar.
This artifact was developed by a dwarf engineer named Raton. With the support of the Engineers Guild, he realized his dangerous and radical idea. However, when he went to Lustria to capture the beast, he was intercepted by a man in the rainforest.
The giant beast was killed, and the necklace ended up nowhere.
By chance, one of its parts fell into the hands of the vampire pirate captain, and was later taken back by the dwarves. In the game, it can directly put a yoke tyrannosaurus into the elite recruitment pool, but in reality it requires
Nori goes to capture the monster himself.
Snorri believes that the advantages of such a change outweigh the disadvantages. After all, there are many beasts in the world that are more powerful than the Tyrannosaurus! Wouldn't it be nice to find one that can fly? As for catching Snorri, we have to wait for another component, Spark.
Once you have the gems, you can start to think about them again.
Snorri gained about 20,000 gold coins from cleaning up the battlefield, and Captain Salazar's plunder at sea accounted for the majority. The other part was obtained by the Red Duke's attack on Viscount Menethil's town.
Of course, Snorri didn't intend to return this money. The poor original owner died twice. How could he still return it to the farmers who were taxed? According to the prior agreement, these trophies belong to the dwarves.
It's just that Snorri still needs to fight the Lord of Breeze Castle in half.
Snorri was upgraded through this battle, and he was in a good mood after receiving another artifact component. He simply took out half of his 10,000 gold coins and began to reward them on the spot.
The humans cheering for the Lady of the Lake in the castle can be heard standing at the city gate. Snorri, the chosen one of the dwarf goddess, also wanted to express his gratitude. Stringer's eyes were half in reverence and half in surprise.
middle,
"Snorri the Generous!"
"Praise the ancestral goddess!"
Such cheers, relying on the loud voices of the tribesmen, almost created a drama with the humans.
That night, after resting, Snorri sat in the room and listened to the tribesmen's report on last night's losses and situation. After this battle, the dwarves lost more than fifty tribesmen, not counting the butchers who were aiming to find death.
Most of them suffered at the hands of the corrupted Leviathan and the spirits. This directly reflects the two biggest weaknesses of the dwarf army, which, except for the butchers, lacks the ability to resist large units and the rare magic damage.
This characteristic is related to the style of the dwarves. In defensive operations, large units can be dealt with by artillery on the ground, but they simply have difficulty moving in the earth network. And there are almost no spirits among the main opponents of the dwarves.
Snorri was determined to make adjustments, at least to find ways to improve his ability to resist large units. If he wanted to deal with the threat of chaos, squatting in a mountain fortress and simply defending would definitely not work.
Taking the initiative to leave the mountain fort and fight in the field like this time is a good opportunity for large units to perform. Facts have proved that relying solely on low-level war machines such as ballistas and cannons is really difficult.
Their projectiles can hit a dozen trolls, and monster infantry the size of an ogre is pretty good, but it falls short against real behemoths.
Another thing that makes Snorri strange is that the ceremony for Fatis to be promoted to the Knight of the Holy Grail is a bit strange. According to the information the dwarves inquired from the tavern, the Lady of the Lake not only appeared directly in front of all the nobles of Bordeaux
He even spoke a few words of encouragement with a few words of encouragement.
According to the widely circulated epic, the process of the Holy Grail Knights drinking the liquid in the cup usually goes like this - an illusion that only he can see emerges in his mind, guiding him to a nearby forest, and then the Green Knight will
Show up and challenge him to a duel.
This is the last test for the expedition knights on their journey to find the cup, but it seems that it is for the purpose of competition and more of a ceremonial function, because I have not heard of any test subject failing at this level.
Then, the goddess holding the Holy Grail will appear from a small lake, well or other body of water, silently tilting the Holy Grail slightly to allow him to take a sip from it, and the ceremony will end.
Such a ceremony seems to reflect a sense of privacy, but Fatis's ceremony this morning was on a grand scale, probably because the lady in the lake wanted to achieve some other effect besides this.
Snorri once confidently suspected that the elf goddess wanted to show off her power, and after shocking him, she took the opportunity to recruit him and create some kind of Holy Grail dwarf who was having fun.
But then I thought about it, regardless of whether I fell in that person's eyes, even if he really wanted to do it, it seemed that there was no need to go to such trouble.
While he was thinking about it, the guard handed over an invitation to the humans' celebration banquet. This was exactly what Snorri wanted. After nearly ten days of marching and fighting, he really needed to rest and relax.
This celebration banquet was different from the previous small-scale welcome banquet. It was held in the hall of the Duke's Castle. Almost all the prominent figures in Bordeaux City came to attend. Since many nobles had not returned from the expedition, this banquet was
There is relatively little emphasis on etiquette and there are not so many restrictions.
The protagonists of the meeting were naturally the regent Constantine, Snorri himself and the newly promoted Holy Grail Knight Fatis. Fatis looked much younger, and all the scars and strains from his trials had also been eliminated. From a
The slightly depressed middle-aged man turned into an energetic young man.
Like all the Holy Grail Knights, he became taller and stronger, and his voice became louder, but he was still immersed in the joy of darkness and kept sending blessings to everyone who toasted to him.
On the contrary, Constantine's apparent joy hid these other things. The young man tried his best to hide it, but he was still inexperienced and leaked a little.
Snorri didn't need to ask to know what he was thinking about. To put it bluntly, it was a matter of faith. His father and brother had been thinking about it and traveled thousands of miles to seek something, but when an outsider got it at his doorstep, anyone would have some thoughts.
