Twenty Sided Dice

? Siegel looked at Gerald, a rare sensible man among stubborn dwarves. He drank the ale from the horn cup, moistened his parched throat, and threw the cup to the servant golem. "So you also admit that the dwarves are bullying good people?"

He picked up the letter Erin had written on the table and said, "You know what's written in it? Guess what my best dwarf friend would say? He'll say I'm a good man, so come and help me ?"

Gerald shook his head. He could come to Heim to pick up and deliver the letter, and this errand was bought for him by Erinte. "He's met Siegel, and things will be easier." If you come to Heimland, you can stay in Heimland, which means you don't have to go to the front line to patrol. While the remaining power of the Dwarven Sage forms a shield against any goblins trying to enter the Walled Mountains, patrolling is still a risky business.

"Irene didn't say anything, just wanted to get together with me, have a glass of wine, eat barbecue, one last time." Siegel said: "He said that the technology used by the goblins is very characteristic, if you are interested, Just go to him and see. But in the two letters to the gangster and the lord of Heim, the dwarves didn't mention the goblins at all. What is this, are you playing a riddle? I don't know what you think , go when you say let's go, and do what you say?"

"Being a good person is much harder than being a bad person, but it's not the bad people that make the good people less and less, but the bad mood." Siegel said: "Heim has the strength to help Mora Top tide over the current difficulties, and also It can be a strength to fight the goblins together, but why am I not happy at all when I do this? Why do I have a feeling of being used, that feeling of being a bullied good person?"

"Until now, the dwarves still regard other people as fools and can't show their sincerity. Erinte knows me, so he wrote such a letter. He doesn't say Mora's Peak and Heim's Land, Not dwarves and humans, just him and me, an old man and a still curious young man. So I told you before. Neither adamantine pulp nor blue dragon blood ink is as important as this letter."

Siegel sat back in his chair and sighed in relief. "Gerald, again, having the ability to think rationally does not mean that you will do the most reasonable action. That's why I have to say those words to you, I need to vent. If it is other dwarves, you can listen to me patiently. Finished? Erint can, but I love him and can't get mad at him. And any other dwarves on the top of Mora. Maybe it's fistfighting now. I know you'll listen and understand, so That's what I can say to you. Erinte probably knows that. I think he suggested you come, didn't he?"

Gerald nodded, and it was only now that he finally understood why the messenger had to be himself.

"Irene is very good at making plans, but more importantly he will take care of his friends, fair and affectionate," Siegel said. "If I'm right, Mora's Top will soon send a team. A delegation from the Chamber of Commerce came over and negotiated with me about the trade and currency situation in Heimland. After the Elf War, the only territory that was not damaged by the war was my Heimland. Especially in farming, animal husbandry and farming, there was enough food and meat to be able to Supply the top of Mora. Outside the city of Myr, there is the largest gathering area of ​​adventurers in the New World, and even a guild of adventurers and mercenaries has been established to make up for the dwarves. They will also find that the jackdaw tribe on the grassland has With strong mobility and combat power, they control all the trade routes in the north, and even have their cavalry north of the City Wall Mountains. Even if you want to come from the Old World, you can't reach Mora without going through Heim Land and Jackdaws. top."

"So, Mora Peak will definitely send someone, but what will they say?" Siegel snorted coldly. The humming made Gerald bow his head. "The top of Mora without the gem clan is just a strange place to me; a dwarf who doesn't face up to his betrayal of allies, and who doesn't honestly cause trouble. It's just an unfamiliar race to me; a dwarf who doesn't openly share strategic and tactical intelligence , for me it's just a side in a war that has nothing to do with me. You say, in this case, is it necessary for me to see this caravan?"

Siegel's words are like snow on the top of Mora, harsh but true. The cold facts are in front of us, but how many dwarves can understand the twists and turns? Dwarves are a friendly, kind race. But never known for being empathetic and easy to communicate. What they think is right and should be done, others should do.

The new managers came out of the war, they are more like soldiers, they like to think from the "enemy" and "me". Gerald was very worried now, because Siegel was right in predicting that someone would soon come to Heimland, hoping to establish a more stable and larger trade in commodities, especially herbs, leather, grain and livestock.

Just as the mage lord said, although the past has been determined and cannot be changed, it does not mean that it has ended and should not be ignored. The more the dwarf tried to convince Siegel with rational thinking and rational action, the more he hurt his feelings. He's got enough sanity that it's starting to backfire.

If the people in the caravan can't handle this matter well, maybe as Siegel said, the Heimland blockade the border and besieged the top of Mora alive. Will the new leadership of the dwarves stand up to this by then? The answer is clear, a new war may break out, and this must have been expected as early as Mage Lord Siegel.

Siegel calculated that he didn't need to attack Mora's Pinnacle, and that only one or two victories in the field would be enough to call into question the dwarven rule of Mora's Pinnacle. Now it is the dwarf saint who blocks the passage of the crystal wall. He represents the highest will of the dwarves, so the dwarves can't let the goblins come over no matter what, and they can't die together. Once Heimland drags the situation into a stalemate, it will win.

What else can we do on the top of Mora, waiting for the dwarves of the old world to send troops to support, or begging for the help of the elf forest? The distant waters do not quench the thirst of the near, and within a year, the top of Mora must be in isolation, and then the action of the dwarves to convene the All-Continent Conference becomes a complete joke.

With Gerald's thinking, this step cannot be seen yet. He was just wondering if this might be one of Siegel's plans to get the Gem Clan back into management. He prefers the old days of the past, but he cannot cooperate with such actions. Gerald had already figured out that he must avoid conflicts between the Chamber of Commerce people and Siegel.

Dinner was pea porridge, roasted quail and bread, but Gerald was not in the mood to stay. After he said goodbye to Siegel, he immediately went north to Mora's Peak. Along the way, he was thinking about how to make the dwarves understand the whole thing, without the dire consequences of his usual stubbornness and stubbornness.

As soon as he left, there was an extra serving of food, so Siegel invited Manna to dine with the family. Janet was busy taking care of Isaac, teaching him how to use a spoon. Eat some simple liquid foods. Mana didn't say a word, just staring at the food on the plate in front of her, as if she didn't dare to look at the Siegel family of three.

"Strengthen your alert and prepare to defend Mora's Peak and the Elf Forest at the same time. The direction of the hub is also the key point, so you can't take it lightly." While eating, Siegel suddenly put down his knife and fork and said, "Make a plan, you will be able to use it. Mark the locations for key defense, and then arrange for the construction of energy landmarks.”

Janet frowned. He waved his hand to let all the servants go down, and then said, "Do you think you can fight?"

"As long as such preparations are made, the chance of a fight will be cut in half." Siegel glanced at Mana, and then said, "Intensify the inspection of roads and caravans, and then tell me if you want to completely block it. How many manpower does the trade route take to do it?”

"Yes, Lord!"

"One more thing, you just know, don't spread it out." Siegel patted her hand, "Unless the goblins across the crystal wall climbed to the ground. I won't send any of the Heimlanders. A good boy went to fight them. I know that the knights under his command look forward to military achievements and want to establish merits and fiefdoms on the battlefield, but only when the dwarves who caused the war can no longer hold on, and the threat directly comes before Heim Land , they can only be honest. When the time comes, you can help me pay attention to their emotions. "

"Understood, Lord." Mana pulled her hand back and hurriedly glanced at Janet.

"I don't agree." Janet said suddenly: "Siegel, I know you too well, you don't want to send knights to the battlefield, do you want to go by yourself? Even if you keep summoning elemental creatures to fight from afar. That's too It's dangerous, I don't agree!"

Okay, this is the real Lady of the Lord, except Janet. No one dared to speak to Siegel like that. Manna bowed her head and pricked her ears to hear Siegel's answer.

"When you don't know the enemy's situation, you are the warriors and the cannon fodder." Siegel replied with a smile: "The element army is the best cannon fodder, but it consumes my strength too much. I will build a special cannon fodder. Dajun, don't worry."

"Ah? What to make of it? It won't be that kind of clay warrior, right?" Mana raised her head: "Shaq Manor proves that that kind of thing is a pure waste of resources. And the iron ore in our territory can't support the production of a lot of armor. Consume it."

"The problem of steel and other resources will be solved soon, you don't have to worry about that. But even if the steel becomes cheap, I will not waste it on the glue warriors. I want to let the weapons go and fight on their own, I want Build an army of golems."

"I'm afraid the knights will be very afraid to hear this news~www.readwn.com~ I need the knights to charge forward, but I need them to be able to command the battle." Siegel said: "In terms of pure power, humans can't compare. Golems, but we have brains. Don’t knights also bring peasant soldiers and squires to the battlefield? It’s just that they may be replaced by golems in the future.”

Mana knew that Siegel had made up her mind. Although she was disappointed, she could only nod her head and said, "Lord Lord, I will pay attention to their emotions."

Janet looked between Siegel and Manna as she fed Isaac, squinting, thinking about something. Siegel turned to her suddenly, startling Janet.

"Arrange a caravan to the top of Mora, and then contact the dwarf Erint, he must have something for the goblin to give me." Siegel said: "This caravan should look nothing like Heimland. Direct relationship, avoid trouble on the top of Mora, and don't bring trouble to Erinte. Find someone smart, understand?"

"Huh? Okay." Janet blushed, then agreed. (To be continued.)

PS: A new month has begun, um, it's useless to keep the ticket in your hand, although it's useless to give it to me, but at least it looks fun...
