"Do I think I've killed a genius in the cradle?" Snorri even felt a little cherished for his talent. Having worked so hard on his own, the Queen Spider's abilities were beyond his imagination.
When the road becomes narrow, change to another path and continue walking. No one can imagine how many intelligent creatures there are! There are many people who can't do it even if they think of it.
"But even if I don't kill it, Ulfric will kill it later. He is cursed by the four gods of Chaos to hunt down powerful monsters or warriors forever. Even if he can escape that disaster, he will be behind him at the end.
.”
Snorri shook his head. Not to mention whether the divine creature could control his collar, the dangerous situation at that time could not help him keep it.
The crystal in his hand was not considered the god of fertility, but could only be regarded as the crystallization of related divinities. Therefore, it did not disappear with the death of the Queen Spider. Snorri silently put it in his arms. This thing was of no value.
It is estimated that, especially for the dwarves, he does not intend to share it with others.
With the return of the arsonist troops, Snorri's casualty report was handed over to Snorri. In the Battle of Spider Web Mountain, Snorri's troops suffered the greatest losses since he led the army.
Ten percent of the troops died directly in battle, and another 20% of the troops were seriously injured that made it difficult to continue fighting. Considering that he could wait until the cooldown of the Valaya Ritual was over to be able to heal again, the injured were still expected to return to the team.
Most of the dead suffered under the claws of giant spiders. As long as the giant beast's blow is solid, it is easy to cause trouble without high-quality armor. The huge spider legs as thick as pillars have to be filled with life.
Generally speaking, the butchers had the highest death rate, and half of the warriors found their deaths. The lowest casualty rate was among the gunners in the long-range troops. Except for a group that was directly hit by the spider silk spewed by the giant spider, there were no casualties.
Everyone knew that they were the main force in dealing with the giant beasts. When the giant spiders rushed the closest, the gunners and crossbowmen picked up tomahawks and shields to protect the gunners.
The dwarves stripped the giant spiders of their materials. The carapace of these guys was stronger than plate armor, and their fangs and claws could almost be used as weapons.
After modification and reinforcement, it should be able to be used to make exquisite weapons. If you are lucky, the limbs of the demigods can be used to make legendary weapons. It has been a while since the Mountain Kingdom has harvested this level of weapons.
At dusk, the dwarves arrived at the main entrance of the Spider Web Mountain Fortress. The damage here was ten times more serious than that of Red Cloud Mountain. Looking at the doorway that had turned into a big hole, Snorri's mind popped up with the thought "Pansi."
"Cave" is such an interesting term.
It's a pity that the Queen Spider and other spiders have not evolved the ability to change into human form. In this regard, the imagination of the Cathay people in his previous life was richer.
If you want to perform the ritual again, you need to wait for the cooling time, and the first round must be used to heal the injured, so you have to wait a long time before entering. The dwarves can only start manual cleaning. They destroy the unhatched spider eggs and remove the spiders.
and the filth left behind by the greenskins.
Snorri was ready to move forward after a short rest in the Spider Web Mountains. His army still had strength, and Karak-Zun was not far away.
Snorri calculated the strength at hand. The number of troops that could be left to garrison was limited, so the larger the cleared area, the greater the defensive pressure.
The spiders have been operating here for thousands of years, and the neat underground buildings of the ancestors have been transformed to pieces. Spider holes are everywhere, and the ancient map has completely lost its effect.
Snorri organized tribesmen with experience in underground operations to first explore the earth vein network, and then prepared to destroy it artificially and block some difficult-to-reach locations to reduce the burden on the troops left behind.
It would not be too late to clean up those places when the immigration is completed in the future and there are enough manpower. It is better to waste a little manpower and material resources than to have a group of greenskins emerge from an unknown fork in the road.
Unable to stand the smoky atmosphere in the fortress, Snorri set up a temporary camp in the forest on land purified by flames. This forest, which had been covered in cobwebs for thousands of years, had long lost its vitality.
Three days later, Snorri treated the injured through rituals, but there were so many of them and most of them had internal injuries. He could only control the deterioration of the injuries first, and the subsequent recovery would have to be done slowly by the dwarves themselves.
Just as he was looking at the map in the camp, comparing it with the information sent back by the scouts, and planning the way forward, Chief Gorat opened the curtain and walked in.
"Dear, er, Master Snorri, the exploration team has found some things that are uncertain, and I have to ask you to take a look!" The middle-aged clan leader bowed deeply before speaking.
I saw the change in his attitude in the past few days.
Not only him, but the entire expeditionary force members now have an additional layer of fear for Snorri in addition to respect, which is the fear of things beyond their own understanding.
Snorri has always been highly respected in the Mountain Kingdom, but most of this respect is not for him personally, but for the ancestors and gods who stand behind him. In the eyes of many bearded elders and people who have seen the world, he
It's just a matter of luck that I was chosen to deliver the message.
But after he showed the ability to transform into a stone statue and then back into the flesh, all this changed. The dwarves are a race that respects history, and the Book of Hatred that each clan has also serves as a history book.
Although a considerable part was lost in the earthquakes and fortresses of the Dark Ages, the parts about the ancestral gods and the Golden Age are still well preserved.
What is certain is that even though the dwarves are accustomed to exaggerating their achievements, there is no record of any ancestor god or hero having the ability to transform into a large stone statue.
In the past three days, the fact that Lisnori knew about his divine skills was the hottest and almost the only topic in the entire camp. His silence and the characteristics of the dwarves further promoted the fermentation. Every clan member was in every corner.
Constantly discuss and analyze.
As long as the rumors spread enough, they will become the truth. The tribesmen who initially fought by Snorri's side have since
"In the name of the ancestors and gods, I really don't know!"
arrive
"Yes, yes! Master Snorri is..."
It only took two days at most and half a day at least. Now the tribesmen have pointed their guesses at the greatest person they know - the ancient sage, the legendary power who created the first ancestors and came from nowhere.
.
The Amazons of Anagonda also played a role in fueling the situation. This group of women from Lustria were also shocked by the power of Snorri. When the dwarves asked them, they were unclear and only talked about the ancient times.
Holy Quote.
"What?" Snorri looked up and asked.
"A stone room. The Amazons said that there were symbols from the lizard people carved on the door. We didn't dare to check in. Please go and take a look."
