After staying at Haimen Pass for a few more days and condolences to the volunteers who arrived early, Snorri returned to Eternal Peak again to make final preparations for the expedition.
Soon he was summoned by Thorgrim the Grudge Bearer. The high king wanted to give his son a few words before setting off.
It's still the same office as before, but Snorri is no longer the ordinary dwarf prince and rune blacksmith. He is now the divine choice of the ancestor goddess, the herald of the God of War, and the person recognized by Grim Bryndel.
Vice president of the Runesmith Guild.
"How sure are you!" After the care between father and son, Thorgreen finally got to the point. He was Snorri's number one supporter and sponsor of this expedition. It can be said that father and son share weal and woe.
Thorgreen's prestige in the Mountain Kingdom is not as strong as it would be a hundred years ago. If Snorri fails this time, the entire faction's voice in the dwarf nations will be reduced in the next few years.
"More than 70%!" It's not like Snorri hasn't considered this issue. He doesn't need to finish his private chat with his father. Now the news about the Southland is seriously lagging behind and distorted. He is confident in the power he has assembled.
But the unknown is always worrying.
Snorri set his target on Plateau Castle after repeated deductions. The Southland was relatively backward, and its resources had not been exploited on a large scale and were relatively abundant. In addition, it was far away from the center of power of the dwarves, so his degree of freedom could be higher.
He once thought that he might be able to recover Gombard Peak or Karak Ungol. These two fortresses were not far from the core area of the dwarves and were relatively less difficult. But then he would have no way to take the next step unless he went to
The Chaos Wastes or Darklands expansion of the Chaos Dwarves.
Thorgreen nodded. He believed in his youngest son's judgment and gave him the greatest support. Finally, he took out a glove from the safe and handed it to Snorri.
This is an exquisite treasure engraved with master-level power runes, which can literally increase the wearer's strength. This is what Thorgrin specially prepared for Snorri considering his flying hammer skills.
As Uncle Iron Chisel sent a breastplate and Stanley boots to Snorri's yard, his preparations for the expedition were all completed. The breastplate was engraved with the telescopic seal engraved by Uncle Iron Chisel.
runes and a rune of fortitude commonly used on armor.
The telescopic charm has been lost since its inception, and was very unpopular even in the golden age. All the equipment ordered by the dwarves is tailor-made. Even if there are slight differences in the stature of the descendants, it can be adjusted by losing weight, stuffing, adding lining, etc.
, there is no need to waste a precious rune slot.
Therefore, no information has been handed down on how to reconcile the interaction between this rune and other runes. Even though Uncle Iron Chisel was already an experienced rune master, he could only carve the most conventional ordinary runes with it.
The reason why Snorri has such a special need is to prepare for the skill of God descending from the earth. He is now just a little short of reaching level five. Although the experience required for each level is increasing, he feels that this
It doesn't seem like a dream to be promoted to level six in one trip.
When there were ten days left before departure, Snorri held a swearing-in meeting at the Eternal Peak. Both the God of War and the Ancestor Goddess expressed their support for his expedition. Then Snorri led his supporters who gathered at the Eternal Peak and
The supplies go to Haimen Pass.
The entire Balak-Var has long been prepared to welcome the Snorri expedition. This port city has been completely mobilized for the Snorri expedition. There are running tribesmen and foreign workers everywhere, and they are working nervously.
Warehousing of supplies.
Snorri was sitting in his temporary office on the upper floor of the fortress, reading the soldier list that had just been compiled and the blessing-themed rune telegrams from all directions.

In addition, the steward engineer Bloxson, the dwarf general Henryd the Dragon Slayer, and the Leviathan Slayer Rogoff.
The dwarf troops under Snorri's command have reached 2,000 people, which is definitely a large force for the Kingdom of Mountains. Snorri is confident that in the early stages of the expedition, anyone who dares to block his path will be eliminated.
enemy,
But he also knew that his front would be very long, and whether he could win one victory after another while protecting the fruits of previous victories while his troops were gradually diluted was even more critical.
There are many butchers from Karak-Kadrin who have joined Snorri's team. In the case of Rogoff, they also hope to have a chance to gain forgiveness from the white dwarves and even the ancestor gods.
Snorri simply divided them into two categories. Those who had killed monsters such as trolls, ogres, and minotaurs were collectively called monster butchers, and those who had only cut down greenskins, rats, and Chaos followers were collectively called ordinary butchers.
This effectively prevents "Storm Rat Butcher", "Orc Big Butcher", "Bighorn Butcher", etc. from sitting together and shouting every day just to compete and brag about their past achievements. It is normal for dwarves.
.
For the volunteers who came from various mountain forts, Snorri divided and organized those who had formal military experience according to arms types, but there were still a large number of tribesmen who came from settlements outside the mountains or who had not yet participated.
Military mustache.
The individual combat effectiveness of these tribesmen is not necessarily poor, but they lack discipline and cooperation, and most of their equipment is strange. They have a one-handed weapon with a shield in their hands, a two-handed weapon on their back, and an additional short gun or a gun hanging on their waist.
Crossbows and arrows are all standard.
In essence, they are similar to rangers, but they have not experienced special reconnaissance and stealth training. When they fall into battle, they just shoot randomly from a distance, and then rush forward waving the weapons in their hands.
In addition to the dwarves, Snorri recruited two troops from other forces. The first was the Amazons of Anagunda, a well-known mercenary from the mercenary kingdom of Tyrell.
The Amazons are a group of human mutants created by the Ancient Saints. They are all female and use the secret techniques passed down by the Ancient Saints to reproduce.
