The North dwarves built four magnificent fortresses in the Giant Home Mountains, including Dulong City, Thunder Castle, Crow Roost Castle, and Eagle Peak Castle, all of which have been in operation for thousands of years since the Golden Age.
These four fortresses are located north of Kislev and are the real bridgeheads against Chaos. They are not large in size, but their combined size still exceeds that of any dwarven fortress in the old world.
"Besides the two of them, you actually have a choice." Seeing that Snorri did not express his opinion immediately but fell into deep thought, Thorgreen stroked his beard and continued.
"Miss Kesina of the Sons of Gona clan."
"Who is this?" Snorri was stunned when he heard this. He searched his memory and found no information about this dwarf noblewoman. How did she compare with the princesses of the Horn Castle and the North dwarves?
"The son of Gena is of the royal bloodline of Silver Spear Mountain. It is also a noble clan inherited from the ancestors and gods. It is also strong now, but it is no longer as glorious as it used to be."
Snorri recalled the history of Silverspear Mountain, which fell more than four thousand years ago. Silverspear Mountain is located in the Wolf Wilds east of the Badlands, surrounded by Cinderella Mountain and Camelback Mountain.
In order to seize the land rich in iron ore, the greenskins launched the so-called "Battle of the Silver Road". During those twenty years of war, only one-fifth of the dwarf caravans connecting Silverspear Mountain to other fortresses were
People can survive through the dead rock canyon where the greenskins are constantly attacking.
"Why?" Snorri asked.
"Her mother is Belegar-Iron Hammer's only biological aunt." Thorgreen said these words calmly.
"Claim?" Snorri also narrowed his eyes.
"Karak-Eight Peaks Mountain, the center of belief of the ancestor goddess, was once the richest fortress of the Mountain Kingdom. Revitalizing the Mountain Kingdom is your goal, and you cannot connect your territory in the southern world's edge mountains to the old world.
The missing node." Thorgreen said slowly.
"Is this all the trouble?" Snorri couldn't help but move his buttocks and sit up a little straighter. According to him, his desire for Bafeng Mountain was still very restrained.
"That's not true, but it's not difficult for people who have a big picture perspective to deduce, isn't it?" Thorgreen smiled gently, but Snorri felt pressured. His father was able to win at the beginning of his election.
Stabilizing the situation in that dire situation and making some changes at the same time can be described as a heroic act.
"But this is also a weak claim. Belegar is the true master of the Eight Peaks Mountain. He..." Snorri said something and suddenly thought of something.
In the previous game, Belega was able to persist until the end with the strong support of the entire dwarf kingdoms, but now that he has appeared out of nowhere and taken away a lot of his resources, everything is going bad for Belega himself.
aspects of development.
"This world is full of accidents. Who knows what will happen? Daoxin in Torrent Pass is an example. Be prepared and avoid danger." Thorgreen's voice carried a hint of solemnity under the flickering candlelight.
"But that would be Snorri's heart. Everyone knows it. I can't wait!" Snorri shook his head. He needed time to think.
"Well, you still have time. Nina's affairs won't be settled until the end of next year. Tell us what you think about the Human Empire."
Of course Thorgreen also knew that his youngest son's wings were stiff now and he should not force him, so he changed the topic.
"I need the population of the empire, and I also need the Sigmar Cult." Snorri said frankly. "Humans are different from us. If we don't provide them with a spiritual harbor, they are likely to fall into the arms of the Chaos Evil God."
"Yes, no matter what, you have to stay vigilant against the pointy ears!" Thorgreen was very satisfied with his approach. "But what are you going to do? Or what kind of support do you need?"
The sanctions against Dieter IV made the dwarf states also very uncomfortable. The High King also made some attempts in the past few years but with little success. The Karak dwarves lacked understanding of the human political system and could not grasp the main issues.
contradiction.
"I have a plan. All I need is our information network in the Human Empire." Snorri grinned. With his grasp of major historical events, he had already formulated a plan.
"Go ahead and do it, my son. This is a good opportunity to show off another side of your abilities. If the plan is blocked, axes and warhammers are also good helpers for us."
After obtaining Thorgreen's authorization, Snorri left his father's office. He chose the Rune Blacksmith Guild as his temporary office location. After all, he was also the vice-president of the guild and had the reputation of Master Kragg.
Protection security is also higher.
He had already deduced how to operate it many times before. It would not be too difficult if he simply speeded up the historical process. However, Snorri believed that it was not in his own interest to let Marienburg become independent as before.
Firstly it was the weakening of the Imperium of Man, which had proven to be a trustworthy ally in the fight against Chaos. Secondly it was the fact that the only thing the merchant lords of Marienburg cared about was the pursuit of profit.
Based on the experience of his previous life, Snorri knew that once Marienburg was allowed to implement special economic policies, flexible economic measures and a special economic management system, her attraction and development speed would inevitably be greatly accelerated.
For Snorri and even the entire dwarf tribe, they have an export-oriented economy, and dwarf fortresses often also serve as trade centers. If Marienburg becomes bigger and stronger, it will weaken him and his tribe.
.
"Oh, the storm of the ever-changing path is brewing." The guest in the tavern suddenly looked outside the door. If Snorri was there, he would find that it was the Bodega he had seen in Bordeaux City.
Scholar Pukelt.
"It's a pity that the old guy's power interfered with my vision, but it doesn't matter." Puckert muttered to himself.
"Hey, my friend, what are you thinking about?" The tavern owner leaned out from behind the bar. In just one day, he and the regular customers in his tavern seemed to like this human being.
As his name suggests, he seems to know something about everything. Especially the hottest topic right now - His Majesty Snorri's expedition in the Southland. This human talks about it vividly, as if he has personally participated in it.
"Speaking of which, the expeditionary force was fighting with the spiders in Spider Web Mountain..."
As Snorri mobilized the dwarven network in the human empire, from Middenheim to Belshafen in Ostermark, news spread that Marienburg would obtain autonomy by bribing the emperor.
