Warhammer Throne

The fall of the steel rock gave the expeditionary army a great harvest. Hundreds of tons of obsidian was rushed back to Haimen Pass. This extremely precious ore has been refined, it is very strong, and it can be enchanted, which is rare. High-quality materials, whether it is to make war machines, weapons, armor and equipment, or even city walls and fortresses, obsidian has amazing value.

However, the old world only produced obsidian from Iron Rock. It has been in the hands of Greenskin for many, many years in the era of catastrophe, otherwise the great engineers at Haimen Pass would not have thought of looking for obsidian in the new world.

Now, the obsidian mined by the green leather in the steel rock has become the confiscated by Ryan and the others. The centuries of accumulation of the Ironclaw tribe has become the trophies of the expeditionary army. Ryan has even found the last legend in the steel rock. Elder leads the Elder Elder's electoral crown, and Ryan decides to return it to the empire after a little thought.

After the capture of Iron Rock, Ryan chose to plunder and destroy as always. This green leather city fortress with a history of thousands of years was destroyed. Then the army began to pull out of the camp and slowly moved south.

The army began to suffer difficulties.

Skasnik sent a large number of wolf cavalry to constantly harass and attack the supply line of the army. The cunning goblin wolf cavalry can come and go freely in the badlands. Ryan and Bellegar went south, hit and ran, various ambushes, traps, annihilated the vanguard and scouts, slowly disintegrating and dividing the confidence and number of this expeditionary army bit by bit.

The expeditionary forces encountered difficulties. As they went south, the environment in the badlands became worse and worse, with less and less water and forages. Logistics depended on supplies from Haimen Pass to Junkubao. However, after successive attacks, Ryan and Belega had to allocate another five thousand people to protect the logistics route.

After losing 1,500 consecutive vanguards, Ryan had to order the expedition to slow down and march slowly to prevent being ambush.

The hot weather made many soldiers fall ill, and the consequences of disobedience began to appear. There were many non-combat attritions in the army. There were fewer and fewer green-skinned city fortresses along the way, and there were few things that could be looted. The morale of the army was gradually increasing. In a downturn, Ryan hopes to win a few battles to increase his confidence, but the cunning Skarsnick does not give a chance at all. On the contrary, it intends to consume Ryan and the others. The whole evil land, green skins in all directions are constantly rolling. In the coming days, the expeditionary force fought several encounters, each with losses, but none of them encountered Skasnik’s main force.

From the steel rock to Valaya sad, the expeditionary army walked for about three months.

Skarsnik has repeatedly set up ambushes, but Bellegar has seen it through. The scouts and reconnaissance armies of the two sides have fought against each other several times, and they have won each other. However, it is clear that the expeditionary forces are getting stuck in the green sea and it is becoming more and more difficult and hot. , Desert, dry, rugged terrain and complex and changeable climate all torture this expeditionary force, and every step forward has to pay a huge price.

By August, when the intense heat faded away, and when the expeditionary army arrived in Valaya sadly, the total number of the army was only less than 30,000.

Fortunately, the Unicorn Guard sent by François led five thousand people and brought a large number of supplies to the front line, provided a certain amount of replacement, the wounded were withdrawn, the merchants took away the seized and spoils, and the army was able to barely manage it. Dressed lightly, when the army finally approached Valaya’s sad ground in late August, Bellegar carefully surveyed the terrain and immediately saw through the numerous ambushes set by Skarsnik. The king of the Eight Peaks and the King of Knights went into battle personally. Completely wipe out the thousand goblin wolf cavalry ambushing in the mountains behind.

Immediately afterwards, Bellegar, who was very familiar with the topography of the roof of the world, led the expeditionary force through an underpass to bypass Skasnik’s ambush, and entered Valaya’s heartbreaking ground first. The magic crystal cannon was under Bellegar’s command. The bombardment was at the bottom of the most fragile wall of the green-skinned city fortress, directly causing the wall to collapse. While Skarsnick was still waiting for the expeditionary force to enter the ambush, Ryan and Belegar had already taken the lead and entered Valaya’s heartbreaking place. Annihilated the three thousand green-skin defenders here, and set up an ambush waiting for the prophesied green-skin back attack.

However, the situation was surprising. Seeing that his ambush hadn't worked, Skasnik unexpectedly chose to retreat and disappeared into the evil land. In this way, the two sides tried back and forth for three months, and it was always on a small scale. Clash.

The exhausted expeditionary army was also unable to pursue the greenskin that disappeared in the badlands. The army withdrew into the sad place of Valaya and camped in the hall of the dwarven ancestors deep in the mountains.

After setting up the camp, both Ryan and Bellegar knew that time should not be delayed. Ryan led about five thousand people, and Bellegar led a pioneer army of about two thousand people, and began to explore where the Valaya Gate was, and the rest of the army was led by Led by Karad, stationed in the Hall of Ancestors, waiting for Ryan's signal.

Now, in the deep and wide underground tunnel of the dwarves, Ryan is followed by Veronica and Olica, and Berega is followed by the chief engineer of the Angland clan, Halhav-Goldman and Chief Talisman. Artisan Sludd-Honest, the army is slowly advancing in the underground tunnel with torches.

The light is very dim, and there are no enemies around for the time being. Griffon Enpress follows Ryan, Belegar walks beside Ryan, and the chief rune craftsman of the Angland clan, Sruder-The Honest is exploring the way ahead. , The ancient dwarf runes and the beacon stone that has become very gloomy guide the direction of the army.

"Granny's beard, I can feel that something has desecrated the tunnel of our ancestors." Bellegar said to Ryan and them: "That is a very dirty and corrosive force. Obviously, before us, Someone has already been to this place. Strangely, the tunnel was clearly sealed when the master Runecraftsman closed the tunnel."

In the faint light of the fire, the human army looked around nervously. Veronica released a small flame skull to illuminate the ceiling of the underground tunnel from time to time. The army walked slowly. They had already spent several hours marching, Ryan With Thor’s hammer in his hand, he hung the goddess of vengeance around his waist. After months of marching, the knight king’s face has become more frosty, but his spirit looks good: "It seems that we really have to face it. There is a new enemy, Brother Belega, can you confirm what power is contaminating the rune?"

"I don't know, if Sorek-Tiemei is here, he should be able to feel it, but I am not a master runecrafter." Bellegar was a little helpless about this: "This road was told to me by Sorek. He warned me not to take this path as a last resort, because it seemed to contain the secrets of Valaya's ancestors."

"Uh, won't we take this road to arouse the hatred of the master runecraftsman?" Ryan was a little embarrassed. The reinforcements in the direction of Tiefengbao were an important help for the battle of Bafeng Mountain.

"No, my ancestors, the heroic spirits of King Loen allowed me to do this." Bellega sighed: "I used to think that even if the ancestor's holy relics are dead, I would not use them, but After experiencing so much, I have already understood that putting the ancestor’s holy objects on the pavilion and enshrining them may not be the original intention of the ancestors. We don’t use them. Many holy objects have been seized by Green Skin or Skaven, and taken to desecrate or carry on. Evil ritual, this is the real shame."

"Yeah." Ryan nodded.

The three main gods of the dwarves are Grunni, Valaya and Grimmnir. The three main gods have been introduced before, so I won't repeat them here.

The three dwarves were truly the supreme ruler and ruled the number of dwarfs for thousands of years. Among them, Valaya was the common wife of Granny and Grimmnir. After the invasion of chaos was ended by Elario, the three dwarves Grimmnir, the **** of war among the main gods, decided to lead a small team to the Chaos Wasteland and close the portal of the ancient sage. At that time, all the dwarven ancestors opposed it, but Grimmnir well reflected the stubbornness of the dwarves. Character, he insisted on going, and then disappeared in the Chaos Wasteland.

Granny and Valaya felt painful for their dereliction of duty. Afterwards, Granny decided to pass on his eldest son, Snori-Whitebeard, born to him and Valaya. After 302 years, Granny and Valaya Leading an army of dwarven ancestors and gods to the Chaos Wasteland, once again tried to close the portal, the remaining dwarves elected Snowy Whitebeard as the first supreme king of the dwarves.

It is worth mentioning that it was during this period that the Elven Empire established a close alliance with the dwarves. When Snowy Whitebeard was fighting against the Chaos Army in the wild, he met Malekis, the son of the first Phoenix King, and he was hunting and killing him. The last Chaos army that destroyed the legacy of the old world forged a deep friendship. Later, the trade between elves and dwarves flourished, and the dwarves discovered more and more mineral veins, thus building many new fortresses.

At that time, Malekiss and Snowy-Whitebeard's relationship was so good that they could wear a pair of trousers, and they could open the door to see what the other party was doing. Malekis also became the diplomatic ambassador of the Elven Empire to Eternal Peak. Later, Snowy -At the end of the white beard's death, the first Supreme King still held Malekis's hand to let him remember the covenant and not to betray. Malekis also seriously agreed.

Sure enough, this kind of genie is unbelievable.

"Many parts of the ground vein network have been in disrepair for a long time, and the best protected parts can only be barely passed. Thousands of years later, many of the ground vein network channels have collapsed due to earthquakes and landslides, and other parts are also due to The enemy's attack and fall." Bellegar carefully checked the direction of the tunnel: "Oh, I recognize these ancient marks, they come from the hand of the Granny Zu god, Sluder, it's up to you."

"Leave it to me." Rune Craftsman Sludd-The Honest One came up to interpret the runes in detail. Only Granny's blood can become a rune craftsman. Sludd must be in the countless forks and roads of the earth vein network. Find the correct one in the mine tunnel.

After spending several hours, Sludd-Honesty finally found his way: "That's right, it's here, this road will lead to Valaya Gate."

"Let's keep up!" Ryan immediately signaled the army to follow Sluder. The human army and the dwarven army united together and walked carefully toward the depths of the underground network.

"Oh my God, I hate burrowing. It makes me feel like a dwarf." Veronica followed Ryan. Witch Garland held Gentiani's staff in her hand, and the tip of the staff spouted. With flames illuminating the surrounding environment, even the bright fire witch with the strength of the sanctuary, the witch Jialan still feels extremely uncomfortable with this humid and dark environment. Judging from the expression on her face, she is very uncomfortable.

"Oh, Ms. Veronica, if you are a female dwarf, there will be many dwarf lads chasing you." Bellegar made a joke, and the king of Bafeng Mountain knew that human beings are really not adapted to the underground environment. He went on to say: "Unfortunately you are not beautiful enough, and not charming enough... Well, I mean, if you are a female dwarf, you are a failure."

"Hahaha~" Ryan couldn't help laughing.

Among the dwarves, female dwarves only account for 10-20% of the total population of dwarves. Therefore, female dwarves are regarded as the key to the inheritance and reproduction of the dwarves. Any female dwarf will only receive the most appropriate protection and the highest level of ration. Dwarf society It is a typical patriarchal society. Men are responsible for daily work, forging and fighting, and female dwarves are only responsible for housework and raising children.

Due to the scarcity of female dwarves, only the most powerful warriors and the highest-level craftsmen and engineers have the opportunity to marry a wife. In the dwarf society, women who are strong, thick and full of muscles, have a gourd-shaped figure and a strong waist. Dwarves are recognized as the "most charming", and a female dwarf wants to get married. The husband must have a beard around the female dwarf's waist, and he must be able to take out at least the weight of gold, like Veronica. Enchanting, beautiful and long-legged human women are standard ugly women in the eyes of dwarves.

More than once in the dwarf Angland clan, the Lion brothers are good at everything, but the aesthetic is very problematic.

It is worth mentioning that female dwarves are forbidden to leave their place of residence at will after marriage, and they are also forbidden to do the same jobs as male dwarves. All they have to do is to take care of money, housekeeping and childbirth. A female dwarf has a very long childbearing age. There will be many children in a lifetime. Ryan heard that the most female dwarves of the Angland clan have given birth to 35 children in their lifetime, five of which are girls.

"I was trembling with anger when I knew this, my whole body was sweating on a hot day, my hands and feet were cold, the chaos was empty, and the wickedness was rushing in my hands. Can this world be healed? **How ​​can you be satisfied with your tears? Pulled out, the world is full of oppression of the **, when can ** really stand up?" Ryan said with a smile.

"...You fellow, I don't want to care about you now, just get away from me." Veronica gave Ryan a blank look.

As time passed, the army entered a huge underground mine, which was obviously the hall of the ancestors of the dwarves, but it has been abandoned for a long time over a long period of time.

The army entered the hall of the ancestors, and the Slude-Honesty recognized the ancient runestones. It took him nearly 30 minutes to carefully check it, and finally heaved a sigh of relief: "Yes, it is here. All leads to Bafeng Mountain. Only this place is still intact in the earth vein network road, but..."

"But?" Ryan came to this giant gate, and the highway leading to Bafeng Mountain was completely blocked by a gate made up of stone walls. The gate was inscribed with very, very old runes and a mural. The gate is more than 20 meters high and nearly 50 meters wide, enough for three dwarven armies to pass side by side.

"But we need to know the secret language." Now, under the power of the rune craftsman, it began to shine.

Hundreds of dazzling stars surround a world. A golden phoenix-shaped crown stands between two big trees. Underneath is an anvil and a hammer. The branches of the big tree are like life. The ground was wrapped around the door, forming a series of words, half Elvish and half Dwarven.

"God, it's Granny's mark!" Bellegar said in surprise: "This door is at least five thousand years old, Brother Ryan, come and take a look. Those pointed ears wrote on the door. Some what?"

"Friend, you can pass by opening your mouth." Ryan glanced at the elf text, then he glanced at the dwarf language: "It's the same here."

"Friends?" Bellegar obviously remembered the shameful history, and he was so angry that he waved the Angrande hammer in his hand: "Who is friends with these pointed ears!"

"Friend?" Ryan thought for a moment. He suddenly thought of something. The king rushed to the gate and shouted in Elvish: "Friend!"

The door didn't move.

"Let me try?" Bellegar came up, and he said a series of things in dwarven language, including the name of the dwarf main god, Bellegar's family order, ancestral oath and some bitter hatred, as well as all the names of the Bafeng Mountain Fortress.

The door remained unresponsive.

"Strange." Bellegar was a little impatient: "Damn it, Granny's hammer, what secret did the ancestors set on this door?"

Everyone studied at the gate for nearly thirty minutes, but still found nothing.

Ryan was still meditating, but Olica came up from behind. The dark elf stood on tiptoe and kissed Ryan on the face, smiling and beckoning Ryan to leave: "Master, you are all wrong."

Before Olica walked to the gate of the ancestors, she changed her tone, using the language of the ancient elven empire, and said softly beside the gate with emotion, "Our friend~"

Above the gate, the master rune of Granny and the master rune of Valaya flashed one after another, and the dwarves retreated or knelt down on one knee in awe.

"Boom!" The ancestor's door began to vibrate and glow, gears and pulleys that hadn't been opened for thousands of years began to work, and huge noises reverberated in the depths of the earth. Just as the dwarves and the human coalition cheered in unison, behind them , Just where he came in, an extremely dry gale suddenly blew, which was mixed with green-skin roars and roars.

Thousands of green-skinned troops appeared at the door of the Ancestor Hall.

Skarsnick and its evil moon tribe have arrived.

"Ready to fight!"
