"Forget it, you can ask for the price first." William III shrugged. "But I have to remind you that I retain the right to conquer by force. As for whether you want to fight against Gail-Malaz for those merchants, you can decide for yourself.
"
"My demands are not high, just three points." William's reaction was as expected by Snorri. He did not intend to push the Emperor too hard. He would cooperate with his son, grandson, and great-grandson in the future.
.
"The first point is very simple. Marienburg has promised me a large amount of military expenditure. It's okay not to protect me, but you should provide me with supplies in addition to the pension." Snorri's first request was very dwarf, but he
Not out of a desire for gold.
In order to cooperate with his campaign, half of Bretonnia and the mountains of the Old World were mobilized. He needs to give an explanation to his supporters, otherwise it will be difficult for this kind of thing to happen again.
"Those worms are really rich!" William couldn't help but smacked his lips when he saw the amount of money, but he was not worried. As long as he took control of Marienburg, he could squeeze more money from those businessmen.
"I agree! Go on."
"The second article is not difficult either. It is to abolish all the persecution of our people during the reign of that idiot Dieter and reaffirm the terms of the Eternal Covenant."
"This is what I should do. Our two races have been each other's most reliable allies since ancient times, from the Battle of Blackfire Pass to the Great Holy War. Those laws that violated the covenant did not receive the support of the majority of the people when they were first promulgated.
"
William III moved his sitting position and relaxed. Snorri's current two behaviors were quite gentle, and there was no such thing as asking for millions of gold coins as he imagined.
"Perhaps the King of the Southland can really bear the nickname of Generous One!" the Human Emperor thought to himself.
"The third item is to support my development of the Southland. Specifically, it is a package of mutually beneficial agreements." Snorri pushed a document over.
"It looks good." William flipped through the pages and nodded in agreement. "That's all? As long as I agree, you and your troops will withdraw to the Eternal Peak?"
"You can trust the promise of the Children of the Mountains. Of course, as the Emperor of the Empire, it is also your responsibility to protect Marienburg from plundering after taking back her, right?"
Snorri also has his reputation to consider, which is more valuable than gold anywhere. But if the demand proves to be non-existent, it seems understandable that the service will be terminated.
"That's inevitable. If we take her back, are we letting the Yankees do whatever they want to her?" William understood what Snorri meant, "This article can also be written into the treaty."
"It can be said that reaching these consensuses will be beneficial to each other and even the world." As the treaty was drafted and signed, Snorri smiled with satisfaction.
The Schlistein family in Reikland has been a reliable ally all the way to the last Deathclaw pendant. He does not intend to wipe them out all at once. Maintaining a good relationship will be helpful for many things.
"By the way, I heard that the Sigmar sect suppressed the cult of the Lord of the Dead. The ancestor goddess of my tribe inspired me to find and destroy them to prevent Nagash from returning to the mortal world." Seeing William III hurriedly leaving the table,
Snorri mentioned it seemingly carelessly.
"It seems there is. I don't know exactly, but my family and the archbishop have always had a good relationship. Out of gratitude to you, I am willing to try my best to facilitate this matter."
William III agreed happily. He did not expect that Snorri would be so lenient, and his biggest problem could be said to be easily solved. As for the dwarf king's motives, he chose to believe it. After all, no one would doubt that a dwarf blessed by the gods wanted to learn necromancy.
magic.
"Then I wish you good luck, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
Immediately afterwards, this agreement was spread throughout the Old World through runes and messengers. It is now known as the "Treaty of Forgefortress", but it will receive a new and more widely circulated name in a few years.
"I am becoming more and more convinced that you have an extraordinary origin." On the way back to the Eternal Peak, Gnom walked into Snorri's camp at night. "That human being was pinched in your palm and then gently put down.
, I have to be grateful to you."
"Why do you suddenly want to mention this?" Snorri sighed. He knew that he had changed too much. It would be inappropriate for those who don't behave like "dwarves" to take away their closest relatives with simple excuses.
possible.
"We and the world are under great threat, and the ancestors and gods chose me." Snorri gave his eldest brother and himself a glass of beer each.
"Is that rumor true?" Gnom asked next.
"It's true. My father and master have notified all those who are aware of this, and I hope everyone will keep it quiet." As a member of the dwarf ruling class, Gnom knew something about the ancient saint.
"If you need me if you need me, just say it, Pamela thinks the same way." After receiving a positive answer from Snorri himself, Gnom seemed relieved. He hugged Snorri tightly and drank the beer in one gulp.
Finally walked out.
Snorri looked at Gnom's back. The eldest brother seemed to be a little stooped. He could understand the eldest brother's thoughts very well. He had been looking at the younger brother who had grown up, and suddenly he said, "How can golden scales be a thing in the pond? When encountering a storm,
"It turns into a dragon", anyone will be greatly impacted.
After the treaty was promulgated, the army of dwarves and knights in the Gray Mountains that had been ready to move immediately stopped. It arrived at Marienburg at almost the same time as the new emperor's order, leaving the big merchants with no room to react.
The city council, which lacked regular troops and had no backup plan, could not mount an effective resistance. William III easily took control of the city and punished several wealthy businessmen who took the lead in the independence process with thunderous means.
After confiscating their property for treason, he reshuffled the parliament and strengthened his control over this trading center. Among them, the quiet rise of the Chamber of Commerce of Boss Harvey and Tommy is not surprising to outsiders.
"My dearest cousin, others only know that your storm hammer is indestructible, but only I know that your wisdom is as unparalleled as the war hammer." In Karak-Domar, Snorri met his cousin.
.
"You can accomplish this! If Marienburg didn't come to me, I don't know how I would have gone through all the trouble!" Patting Tommy on the shoulder, Snorri felt a wave of flesh.
"With your help, Eagle King William has made his name in an instant!"
"Eagle King?" Snorri smiled at this straightforward nickname.
"It took him not even a month from the time he took the throne to the time he took over Marienburg, not to mention the promised year. It was as fast as an eagle picking up a rabbit."
