After investing the points, Snorri closed his eyes and tried to feel the changes in his body. Along the way, he regained the fortress and expelled the demons and gained a large number of revival points, which only made the overall progress one third of the way.
According to the notes of the ancient sage, if this function is filled up, the fertility of the dwarves can be increased to a level close to that of humans. The male-to-female ratio will become normal, and the number of female births will also increase.
Snorri estimated in his mind that there were many areas where he needed revival points, and just treating the wounded after the war might not be enough. The next opportunity to obtain a large number of points would probably be to recover Bafeng Mountain and other surrounding fortresses.
There is only a thin line between level seven, and Snorri now has meticulous control over his body. He keenly caught the changes in the reproductive system, and that set of things seemed to be more active, which undoubtedly had a beneficial effect.
.
"It's a pity that there are no women in this team. The only Amazons are probably reproductively isolated!"
Snorri muttered in a low voice that he could not see the effect of his most important improvement for a while and could only wait for follow-up feedback. This made him feel as if the revival point had been wasted and he did not have enough sense of accomplishment.
“There are so many things to do next!”
"Bahrain, notify the meeting!"
Soon, the managers of the expeditionary force gathered in the office. Snorri asked the knights and Amazons to explore the forces around Plateau Castle on the surface, and also asked the dwarves to explore the underground mineral deposits.
One by one, the people in charge took the order and left, leaving only Andermg, the ranger with a bear mount, still standing in front of the table.
"That's it. I have a very important task entrusted to you. I wonder if you have the courage to complete it!"
"I have proven my bravery and ability, please feel free to give me your orders!"
The young ranger hammered his chest. Along the way, his view of Snorri had changed from "a lucky man who received divine grace" to a capable and wise leader.
"Send the message, and send the news of our successful expedition and related letters and tokens back to Karag-Hongyun Mountain Fortress! Along the way, you only have one supply point in Spider Web Mountain. None of our own tribe has mounts. The support I can give you is only a few knights.
!”
Snorri knocked on the table. Possible obstacles on the way back include the wild orcs who were driven away; the Pygmies who didn't even see the boss and who didn't know whether they were friends or foes; the remnants of the fleeing spiders and the high elves.
Even if he sends a force of hundreds of people, he dare not say it is safe, but it will slow down the progress. But if more are sent, the safety of Plateau Fort cannot be guaranteed.
Gunpowder cannot be produced here for the time being, and Snorri's artillery crews and helicopters are at a standstill. The crossbowmen can recycle arrows after the battle and continue to use them, but the cannonballs are gone after they are fired. Without their help, the dwarves would be unable to
Kill large units.
Undermg left with his things, and Snorri sat in the room and looked through the books left by the Rune Blacksmith Guild. These books recorded many lost runes and technologies. With these things, he could improve
He also has the opportunity to recruit some colleagues to work for him.
A few days later, the spies brought back the latest information. To the south of the Plateau Castle was Prince Alfazel's Dawn Fortress, and to the west there was a rain forest, in which the wood elves were found.
To the northwest, beyond the rainforest is Ka-Sabai, the bronze city of Nehekhara, and the southernmost important town in the Land of the Dead. It was once a mining and forging center, so the Warrior Gate is well-equipped and resurrected after death.
The same goes for skeletons.
The east side of the World's Edge Mountains is closer to the ocean, and at the foot of the mountain is a rainforest. The spies had brief contact with the aboriginal people, and they saw a large number of skinks. There is no doubt that there is a lizardman god in the rainforest.
Temple City.
Snorri knew from the strategic map that it should be the Temple of Bones, the last defender of Ashoto in the game, and the territory of Ku-Gha, the Hand of the Gods. However, Snorri was not sure whether Commander Ku had arrived at this time.
Southland.
He looked at the map marked with power indicators and stroked his beard. The environment around Plateau Castle was not good. Although it was surrounded by races on the order side, the relationship with the dwarves was far from friendly.
The Plateau Fort and even the entire southern world's edge mountains are now in a state of ruin and waiting for improvement. It is impossible for him to make a breakthrough in internal affairs by relying on himself, who only has weapons and lacks tools and raw materials for his thousands of trumpets.
Snorri spent his days in the fortress like years. He had just experienced several months of intense conquests and marches, and he was very uncomfortable with the sudden leisure.
He could no longer read the classics, so he went out and wandered around, comforting the wounded and hunting wild animals, but there was only so much space in Plateau Castle, and he soon fell into irritability again.
"Maybe I should find a force to get in touch with first!" Snorri made such a decision.
"Where to start? The high elves are definitely not good. I won't tell you whether they can be solved. Not knowing the pointy bean sprouts will definitely affect the subsequent recruitment of tribesmen."
Snorri analyzed to himself that he did not have any qualified counselors around him to discuss matters. In fact, in dwarf society, the person who acted as the lord's counselor was often the rune master.
"The Wood Elves are more difficult to deal with than the High Elves. The Phoenix King is still changing after all. The Wood Elves have always been dominated by the two demigods Orion and Alaire, and they are more conservative than anyone else. This expeditionary force from the Southland
Maybe it will be different, but now that we are weak, it’s better not to gamble!”
"Just the lizard people!" Snorri made up his mind. He summoned Anagonda and handed a letter into the hands of the Amazon leader.
"If you can communicate, communicate. It's best to communicate directly with Slan. If not, the Skink Leader will do the trick! Gold is not a big deal. It starts with the non-aggression treaty. It's better to have the opportunity to go deeper."
Snorri carefully considered his words and gave his instructions. He didn't know how powerful the Southland lizard people were and what their attitude towards foreigners was, but there was always a chance for communication.
"Otrax, the Slann Demon Toad, invites you to meet at the foot of the mountain!" A few days later, the Amazons brought back a reply that satisfied Snorri.
The dwarf lord boarded the Anvil of Doom and headed down the mountain, surrounded by the Anvil Guards and Hammer Guards. Halfway up the mountain, the dwarves heard a rustling sound, and there were shadows in the rain forest.
Seeing the figures of the dwarves, with a sharp roar, a large group of creatures with amber-colored crowns emerged from under the tree. They were hunched over and looked even shorter than the dwarves, but they were light and agile in movement.
These skink lizards did not wear armor and held various simple equipment in their hands. Looking at their poor configuration, the dwarves' eyes flashed with gold. These were good customers, provided they could afford the price.
