Proof of the Sun King

Successive victories finally strengthened the confidence of the entire old world in this great expedition of the Knights Road. After receiving the news of the victories of the expedition force one after another and seeing the steadfast benefits of the Bretons, the Grand Duke of Marienburg. Schultz took advantage of the situation and used his own power to do a lot of publicity for the victory of the war, suppressing the previous negative news in one fell swoop.

The whole kingdom was roused again, Curona was decorated with lanterns, celebrating the victories of the expedition, large sums of gold and silver were unloaded on the docks, the newly established postal system sent the capture of many soldiers to their loved ones, and many serf families. When I got the package, I was dumbfounded. Where have these rural roe deer ever seen so much real money? They were so happy that they couldn't find the edge, and they were biting with their teeth. They were really a group of sand sculptures that had never been seen in the world.

The influx of gold and silver from the people caused the rise of social vitality, and also caused a large number of robberies, thefts, and brawls, which can only be left to the regents of Laun in Curona and Su in the castle of the Duke of Jean. Leah and Morgiana are having a headache.

Surprisingly, when the first issue of Bafengshan National Bonds sold rapidly due to the victory of the expeditionary army, several major chambers of commerce in Marienburg that opposed Ryan remained silent and uncooperative. After hearing the news of the victory of the expeditionary army , The business princes have temporarily died down. In the peaceful festival atmosphere of Marienburg, I don't know how many undercurrents are surging under the city, but for the time being, everything is silent.

At this moment, the expedition finally reached the most important stronghold of the dwarves in the badlands, Barak-Haimen Pass.

If it is said that which dwarven fortress is the greatest in the world, many people will answer that it is Karaz-a-Karak, the capital of the dwarves, while for example, the Angrond clan will definitely answer that it is Karak-Eight Peaks, and there are also some special The old stubborn old dwarves will tell everyone that it is the first fortress of the dwarves and the origin city of Sekarak-Highland Fort, but if you ask the dwarves which city is the most open and full of vitality, even the stubborn dwarves will be reluctant. Admit it, it's Barack-Hammen Pass.

As a unique port city for dwarves, Haimen Pass was built within a huge group of sea-facing mountain peaks. Dwarf engineers and craftsmen hollowed out the interior of the mountain and built a port under the cliff as a trading port and a berth for the dwarven navy. There are more than a dozen dwarf ironclad ships inside. This giant ironclad ship is simply a moving sea castle, which can easily defeat many powerful fleets.

Lane and the others took the Sea God's fleet and gradually approached the port of Haimenguan, looking at the smooth black cliffs that were cut by a knife and axe and the huge deep-water port, thousands of artillery pieces around the port, and the sky gradually engulfed by the cliffs, Lane looked at Baylor. Jia exclaimed, "What a wonderful city, Brother Bellegar."

"Haimenguan may have the most prosperous trade among all the dwarven fortresses. Only the Eight Peaks Mountain can rival it when it has not fallen." Bellegar stroked his white beard. In the past month, he killed the greenskin. It was enjoyable, so the heart of the King of Eight Peaks was also much better: "The dwarves here... are more hospitable than other dwarf kingdoms, uh, I mean, apart from humans, Haimenguan is one of the few that is not so annoying. The place with the pointed ears, I remember... it seems that many years ago, the Phoenix King with pointed ears landed here."

"Phoenix King Fenuba?" Ryan asked casually, only him.

There is a joke here. Lilith, the fairy in the lake, once told Ryan that when Finnuba re-contacted with the dwarves of the old world, the current Phoenix King and the navigator at the time proposed to the Dwarf Supreme King, hoping that the dwarves could return the Phoenix king crown.

Even for the high elves with long lifespans, the Battle of the Beards is already several generations ago, and the elves have begun to forget those ancient hatreds. Finnuba said that as long as you return the Phoenix Crown to High Elves Jing, when I return to Ulthuan and say a few good words for the dwarves, won't the two sides settle their differences and get back together?

The dwarves discussed it for a while and felt that it was okay. The High King made a request: "Call your Phoenix King over, come to the ancestors of the Eternal Peak, stand under the steps of the High Throne Throne in person, and kneel."

"Apologize loudly, say loudly, I'm sorry, dwarf brother, it was our fault in the first place! If you can't hear it, continue to say it, if you can't hear it, continue to say it until all the dwarves hear it! Sorry, dwarf brother, it was us in the first place Wrong! Just say it!"

"If so, the dwarves are willing to return the Phoenix Crown to the high elves."

As soon as this condition was said, Finnuba knew that it was impossible to get back the Phoenix King's crown through diplomatic means, and he could only dispel the idea from then on. Obviously, Finnuba really underestimated the ability of dwarves to hold revenge. The hatred that the elves have forgotten, the dwarves with an average lifespan of about four or five hundred years old have never completely forgiven the elves for their betrayal.

"It seems to be." Bellegar expressed indifference: "Oh, yes, and also, the marine branch of the Dwarf Chief Engineers Association is established here, if it is only about manufacturing all kinds of huge mobile machinery, even the dwarf chief engineer of the torrent pass. The association can only resign itself to the disadvantage.”

"I see." Ryan nodded.

The dock of Barak-Haimenguan is bustling with people everywhere. The port of Haimenguan is not as big as imagined. After a large number of warships have been parked, the Poseidon fleet can only dock in batches, but there are many people. Obviously, the expeditionary army has been victorious. The news has been spread here, and many merchants and various dock merchants have been staying in the port to see the style of the expedition.

Lane noticed that the witch apprentices led by Veronica made surprised and excited voices. Although the witch group had enjoyed relatively good treatment in the entire expedition, the environment of the badlands still made them Feeling hard, seeing that they finally arrived in the town, the witches began to be restless, and even Veronica was standing in front of the railing, looking forward to it.

"We're here, Your Excellency Ryan." The black-hearted Leip came up, and the mercenary leader respectfully said to Ryan: "Haimen Pass is the umbrella of the border prince's territory. Whenever we encounter a strong enemy invasion or When facing an invincible enemy, the only place that can be trusted and can get reinforcements is Haimenguan, where the dwarf army will be dispatched immediately when they receive the information for help, of course, the price is not cheap, but it is worth the money.”

"Similarly, if the overseas colonies and outposts of the dwarves are attacked, the only thing you can count on is the possible reinforcements in the direction of Haimen Pass." Bellegar nodded, and the King of Eight Peaks signaled Black Heart Leip to step back, and the mercenary leader quickly He lost a smile and stepped back: "Brother Ryan, as guests, we must go to meet the king of Haimenguan, Byrnov-Dragon Hammer, just follow me."

"Bairnov-Dragon Hammer?" Ryan and others landed at Haimenguan through a ladder. The huge square dwarf fortresses and buildings were crowded to the end of the line of sight. More than a dozen giant stone pillars and statues of giant dwarf ancestors supported the top of the rock wall. , Ryan noticed that there was already a team of hammer warriors standing on the pier with a serious look, obviously this is the king's messenger, because in dwarf society, hammer warriors are generally the king's personal guard.

"Yes, Byrnov-Dragon Hammer, the king of Sea Gate Pass, after his father was killed by a sea dragon, Byrnov spent twenty years chasing the sea dragon in the ocean, and was finally killed in one leg by a sea dragon. After the sea dragon bit it, he killed the sea dragon, and then returned to Haimenguan to inherit the throne." Bellegar rambled: "Brother Ryan, you have to cheer up, Byrnov is a real old stubborn, he Since he ascended the throne, he has restored many traditions and sent his son to Karak-Kadrin to study. Many of his taboos are not clear to me. He will definitely ask you questions. Remember to answer in Dwarven language. Say as little as possible."

"Well, it sounds a little troublesome." Veronica emerged from Ryan's back, and Witch Garland reached out and patted Ryan's back: "King Belgar, thank you for your guidance, it's very helpful to us. ."

"Hehe, indeed, I have always felt that, compared to Byrnov, the Supreme King Sol Green is not only rational, but also very rational." Bellegar made a joke that Ryan couldn't laugh at: "But we have arranged Good present."

Ryan and Veronica looked at each other, and before Ryan could speak, Veronica pushed him back with a smile: "Then I won't go, dear, hurry up and come back! Oli and I Ka first to book the hotel where you are staying and waiting for you!"

Before Ryan could answer, Veronica followed Orica to arrange the witches, leaving Ryan and Bellegar behind.

"His Majesty the Knight King Ryan from afar, and His Majesty the King Bellegar of Angland, our king is waiting for you in the throne hall. If there is nothing urgent, please come with us." The Hammer Warrior came up , motioning for Ryan and Bellegar to follow them.

Unlike the dwarven armies of Breezefort and Clan Angronde, the dwarves of Haimen Pass are obviously much wealthier, and the dwarven warriors of Haimen Pass generally wear more ornate clothing and armor. Rare fabrics such as silk are symbols of elite warriors. The long beards of Haimen Pass are even more gorgeously equipped to reflect their elder status, and compared to Bellegar's army, the number of crossbowmen, musketeers and artillerymen in the Haimen Pass dwarf army is very large, while the rangers and miners have a large proportion of them. The proportion is very small. The army of Haimenguan also has a large number of artillery. First, there are a large number of engineers here to easily produce and maintain artillery. Second, the defense of Haimenguan also relies on a surprising number of artillery.

Under the leadership of the Hammer Guards, Ryan and Bellegar followed the Hammer Guards to the throne room at Seagate Pass.

Despite having a team of hammer guards and more long-bearded veterans, the throne room in Haimenguan still looks a little empty, bright lanterns illuminate the entire empty and far-reaching hall, and Ryan can feel the footsteps in the hall. The top floor of the throne room may be 40 meters high from the ground, or even higher. The king of Haimenguan, Baiernov-Dragon Hammer, sits high on the throne. This king wears ancient clothes. The rune plate armor, the rune battle axe at hand is full of gaps, but the rest is still sharp.

It is worth noting that under one of the trousers of the dwarf king is a prosthesis carefully forged by the Haimenguan Engineers Association.

The appearance of Ryan and Bellegar caused some noise in the hall.

"Who is coming?"

"Your Majesty Byrnov-Dragon Hammer, the real King of the Eight Peaks, Belgar-Hammer, and Brittanian Knight King Ryan-Malcador came to pay their respects," said the Hammer warrior who led the way.

"Goodbye? Oh, the king of knights who came from afar, what do you want from me? And Bellegar, this is the fourth time you have come to Haimenguan, right?" Byrnov said, Ryan found that he had to You can only see the king of Haimenguan if you raise your head at least forty-five degrees, and Baiernov's face is hidden in the shadows and can hardly be seen.

Lane's action obviously made Byrnov a little misunderstood. The king of Haimenguan was stunned for a moment. He seemed to be searching and pondering something. Bellegar was about to speak, but Byrnov raised his hand to wait for a few minutes. After that, Byrnov succinctly said a common language: "Who are you? Can't you understand dwarven language?"

"I understand, Your Majesty Byernov, thank Haimenguan for accepting us." Who knew that Ryan took the initiative to step forward, he said in a very fluent dwarf language: "I have heard your name for a long time, I can meet you here. I am honored to be with you."

There was a burst of admiration among the hammer warriors and long-bearded veterans in the hall.

What is a human hero?

Seeing that the king of knights can speak Dwarven language so well, King Byrnov's face looks much better, so that he doesn't have to search and think about the human language that has not been used for a long time, the king of Haimenguan saw this. Nodding again and again, he switched back to dwarven language: "You speak Kazadli well, which will save us a lot of trouble."

"Thank you." Ryan nodded. As the emperor's son, he is proficient in eight languages ​​including Dwarven and Elvish. This is his talent, and this talent seems to be reflected in Little Frederick and Little Devonhill. superior.

"I have heard your feats, you destroyed all the greenskin fortresses along the Blackwater Bay, which is good, you are a friend of the dwarves, but I still will not send you any reinforcements and provide any help, but You can stay here temporarily, and you can hire those mercenaries, but I will not send a soldier or a **** to help you~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Byrnov reached out and took the rune battle axe: "I have already done this kind of stupid thing. I've done it once, I won't do it again. "

Bellegar was a little embarrassed to hear this, and the King of Eight Peaks raised his head: "Baernov, we came prepared this time!"

"That's what you said last time!"

"This time is different!"

"That's what you said last time!"

"No, listen to me, Byrnov, this time with the help of the Brittanian knights, we will definitely be able to get rid of the greenskins and dwarves..."

"That's what you said last time when you borrowed a large army from Solgreen, our High King." Byrnov interrupted Bellega again, his voice echoing throughout the empty hall) , In addition, the hall is full of laughter, this laughing sound makes Bellega blush, he is indeed a loser, before he takes back the Eight Peaks and washes away the hatred between himself and the clan.

Seeing Bellegar embarrassed, Ryan quickly came out to round up the field: "His Majesty Byrnov, we have brought you a gift this time!"

"Gift? Huh? For me?" Byernov turned his attention back to Ryan: "There is no shortage of gold and silver at Haimen Pass, King Knights, I know you have robbed a lot, but obviously you are likely to underestimate it. Given the difficulty of expedition to Bafeng Mountain, keep things for yourself."

"No, I can bet that this gift has enough sincerity." Ryan took out a box, the Hammer Warriors and Longbeard Veterans brought lanterns and torches close to the box, and the light sources gathered inside the box.

Soon, the dwarves of Haimenguan showed their hatred and made angry noises. They moved away from the shadows so that King Byrnov could see Ryan's gift.

"This is... huh! What a fitting gift, are you really going to give this to me?"

"certainly!"
