Chapter 289: It’s just a position, everyone is not a bad person.
If he is a normal bloody dwarf, he may not pay attention to this kind of warning, and he must pass on the news of the enemy attack even if he dies, but Gabo just shot an arrow. Yagami was so frightened at his feet that he stopped talking.
In Mahakam, which values tradition and cherishes honor, Gabor's reaction will arouse the contempt of all dwarves, even the dwarf archers who left Mahakam to join the Scoia'tael.
"But this is a smart man, and it should be easy to communicate with him. You should have a good chat with him." The archer dwarf kept his bow posture, glanced at Saskia who fell to the ground, and complained, "This human The armor you wear is so thick!"
Gabo and his men surrounded Saskia who fell to the ground and looked at the attacker warily. Most of them are decorated with squirrel tails, but more of them are compatriots of the same race that Gabo is familiar with.
At this moment, Gabo's eyes were fixed on the person communicating with the dwarf archer.
"Clan leader." Gabo softly called out the previous title, which had not changed yet.
"Gabo." Chief Ziglin looked a little weak. This was because he had been locked in the dungeon for too long, but his voice was still loud.
"I originally planned to wait to see everyone before leaving, but I didn't expect you to find me first." Gabo tightened the ax in his hand and glanced at Saskia who fell on the ground.
"There is more that you didn't expect, Gabo." Chief Qiegelin shook his head, "Your choice tonight will determine the fate of you and the entire Qiegelin."
Gabo did not pick up what Chief Qiegelin said. After taking a look at the team in front of him, he found that there were only about twenty Zygling dwarves inside, and the rest were all Scoia'tael. You must know that Qigrin is one of the most powerful clans in Mahakam, and they can raise about 1,500 qualified heavy infantry alone.
"Why do you only have so few people around you, Patriarch?" Gabo asked, "Where are the others, what is your plan?"
Patriarch Ziglin was silent, and the dwarf archer sneered at this.
"Zigrin has long been sent to the mines to perform hard labor. The rest are either turned into gifts for humans like you, or they are unlucky guys like your clan leader who are ready to be publicly tried and frighten other clans. The dwarf
pointed his bow and arrow at the dozen or so Sieglin in the team: "Look, Gabor Sieglin. Look what Brovar Hogg has done to you. You are Sieglin, the famous Sieglin!" Now it has become like this, this is the way Brovar Hogg has always treated us!"
Gabo was silent, he already knew about Siegelin's fate.
"Then what do you have to say? Compatriot?" Gabo said.
The dwarf archer shook his head: "I have heard of your name, Gabor Zigrin. You are a big man who made a name for himself in human society but came back to build his hometown. You also received guests during your stay in Mahakam. I don’t know how many kings and diplomats you have, your vision should be higher than mine, so you should be able to see the problem of Mahakam." "Brovar Hogg
's tactics are cruel to the dwarves. ! His name is the Great Elder, but he is actually an emperor above the king! His rules for us are as detailed as which hand should be used to drink soup, but he is indifferent to the hardships of dwarves in society. It is time to change This is the current situation."
"We want to overthrow him, liberate our nation, fight for the respect that our dwarves deserve, and build a country with a greater voice." The dwarf archer reached out to Gabo, "So we need all the capable people. We are compatriots, and dwarves should help dwarves."
"You have been planning for a long time, and you have great ambitions." Gabo concluded, "But I guess your plan has an accident now." "
That's right." The dwarf archer nodded simply, "Those humans with the lion crest were indeed an accident, and the monsters they brought surprised us even more. So we need your help, help us add this to the monster's meal Go and make sure it doesn't really cause any accidents to us."
Gabo watched the dwarf archer take out a huge leather bag. He knew what was inside without guessing. He quickly began to sort out his thoughts and spit out a name.
"Ferenz?" Gabo sneered, "You really tore Mahakam apart." "
This shows that our cause has been recognized. We hope you can join in. This is your chance. , Gabo Ziglin, you have to know that without you, our plan can still go smoothly." Gabo's
smile became more sarcastic, he took a step back, raised the weapon in his hand, and showed his attitude .
The dwarf archer's eyes turned cold. He shook his head and raised his right hand, preparing for the Scoia'tael behind him to attack, when Chief Siegelin put his hand on his shoulder.
"Let me do it."
Chief Qieglin stood in front of the dwarf archer and asked in a voice like a bell: "I agreed to their request and came here because I wanted to ask you the next question in person outside the prison. Gabo - why did you betray your clan?"
Gabo didn't speak, and seemed to be ready to fight to the death. It wasn't until Patriarch Siegelin asked the same question again that his eyes finally began to fluctuate.
"I have already told you my thoughts, Patriarch." Gabo hid his face behind the shield, "Your decision will only lead Zyglin astray, and the dispute with Fuchs will only damage the entire Mahakam. , there will be no winner between our two clans in the end."
"Even in this position." The Zyglin clan gestured to Jiabo's situation of being outnumbered and outnumbered, "Do you still insist on your own ideas?" "Yes
. ."
The dwarf archer was already a little impatient. He glanced at Chief Qieglin and had no hope for Gabo's stubbornness.
"Gabo, everything I have done is for Qie Gelin." Chief Qie Gelin said solemnly, "I have thought a lot in the dungeon during this period." "
If you still insist on your ideas, then continue to persevere. Well. I believe that everything you did was also for Siegelin...perhaps, you are more correct than me." The
dwarf archer was suddenly startled, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
But it was too late now. Chief Zygrin stood in front almost right next to him. When he finished speaking, he only felt a splitting pain coming from the top of his head.
Under the horrified eyes of the Scoia'tael, Chief Siegelin pulled the ax out of the dwarf archer's head, and took a handful of red and white goo. A bell-like sound echoed in the corridor.
"Then Gabo, from today on, you are the leader of Qigrin!" The old patriarch said loudly, "The Qigrin of Mahakam is doomed to decline. I want you to bring the glory of the new Qigrin to Sintra. , bring it to the north, bring it to human society!"
"Go and bring dangerous warnings to the leader you are loyal to. Leave this to us old Zyglin!" Chief Zyglin turned to face the Scoia'tael and roared, " A group of ignorant young people who thought they knew everything after two years of hard work outside, and are still bragging about establishing a new country. You don’t understand Mahakam at all!” A dozen Zygrin dwarves in the Scoia’tael
team He swung his weapon as expected and turned around to slash, causing chaos in the enemy's ranks.
Gabo only felt a surge of fire rushing into his brain. You must know that even if the Zyglin dwarves suddenly jumped back, they would still be facing enemies several times their size. The old patriarch used the Scoia'tael to leave the prison just to conduct a handover ceremony for himself, and then he was ready to use his life to pave the way for himself as the new patriarch!
No, not only for the sake of his new batch of Zygrin who are going to Sintra, the old patriarch also wants to use his life to give an explanation to the great elder and fight for a chance for those Zyglin who are facing indefinite labor in the mines. .
He had it all figured out from the beginning!
Gabo's eyes turned red instantly, and there were only three words "Zigrin" left in his mind.
"Gabo, let's go, let's go quickly!"
The young Qiegelin man behind him pulled Gabo. He didn't want to waste the rare opportunity created by the clansmen in front of him, but he couldn't pull the new Qiegelin clan leader.
It was at this time that Saskia, who had been lying "silent" on the ground, suddenly moved.
——The
first ray of sunshine in Mahakam finally covered the top of the mountain. The snow that never melted all year round absorbed the golden warm light and rendered it into the entire mountain range.
The Great Elder finally returned to Carbon Mountain at this moment. Without any pause, he immediately ordered someone to knock on Lan's door.
"I never thought you would be so eager and pay so much attention to Cintra, Great Elder."
Although he was woken up in the early morning, Lann was in high spirits, neatly dressed, and seemed to be well prepared.
"The first thing I did when I returned to Carbon Mountain was to come find you, Lannister. It's not because I value you too much. I just hope to resolve your matter quickly, and then go back and drink a barrel of ale and sleep peacefully. "
The great elder Brovar is dusty, and the cloak that has not yet been taken off is wrapped in the cold air of Mahakam, but his explosive temper is enough to prevent him from being harmed by the cold.
"Lann Lannister Leanne." Brovar muttered the name. "You really caused me a lot of trouble. You just walked around Mahakam a few times and you were useless." I, a member of the Zygrin clan, took away a small part of the Fuchs clan, and also caused us Mahakam to lose the iconic red dragon!" "
Lannister, why is there trouble wherever you go?"
" At least I have left most of Fuchs and Siegelin for you, right? Without me, there will probably be no one left from these two clans." Lann was not disturbed by the hostility in the great elder's words, " As for Kelturis, she had already had an irreconcilable conflict with Mahakam at that time."
Broval scratched his beard unhappily: "Ferenz... I will deal with them later!"
"You got it. There are more soldiers than expected, and we have also obtained enough weapons and metal ores. Are you satisfied now, Lannister?" "
Thank you for your generosity, Great Elder." Lann thanked Brovar sincerely, "But if possible, we also hope to become true friends with Mahakam and establish long-term trade channels."
This is something that House and Mahakam's quartermaster have been discussing for a long time, and without the instructions of the great elder , Mahakam’s quartermaster is absolutely not qualified to make arbitrary decisions.
"Lannister, son of the ancient blood..." Brovar shook his head, "I don't like you, but even so, I must abide by the traditions of Mahakam. I cannot refuse the request for trade, and in order to be with you To sign this agreement, we have to go to Carbon Mountain and sign the agreement under the witness of our ancestors and goddesses."
Lann was very considerate: "Actually, we can complete the signing of the agreement in Carbon Mountain right now." "
This is Tradition, the signing of the agreement must go to Mount Carbon. Even I can't violate the tradition." Broval's eyes widened, "Damn, I don't want to do this, but this is tradition! So order yours immediately. The attendants and troops will follow me to Mount Carbon. Let us end our relationship as soon as possible so that I can go back and have a good sleep!" "Don't think I don't know. Your attendants have already started
packing their belongings overnight. They can be ready at any time. Let's go!"
...
Tradition is the foundation of Brovar's rule of Mahakam, and even he himself cannot violate it; and the explosive character is Brovar's symbol. Even in the early morning, he does not want to rest at all, he just wants to Hurry through the traditional process and let Lan and his party leave Mahakam.
Broval didn't like Lann, and Lann also had little affection for Broval, so there was no conversation all the way.
They were on their way in the early morning, and there was only a long bridge connecting Mount Carbon and Mount Carbon.
Dwarves have shown amazing creativity in many aspects such as architecture, metallurgy, and engineering, but there is one thing they really don't care about - naming. The bridge in front of them connecting Carbonshan River to Carbonshanha was simply and rudely named "Long Bridge" by them.
"Lannister, I don't like you, you know why." Lann walked side by side with the elder, and the elder suddenly broke the silence.
"I'm sorry," Lane replied.
"You are not. But now that things have developed to this point, we have to endure each other and help each other. I am for Mahakam, and you are for your Cintra." Perhaps it was the
silence on the road that resolved the great elder. His voice became deeper.
"I hurriedly called you over and went through the traditional process. On the one hand, I really wanted to drive you away quickly, and on the other hand, it was because you really needed to leave quickly." Lann was surprised and
heard After hearing what the great elder said, his expression suddenly became serious: "You mean, the war in the north?" The
great elder nodded: "Mahakam is not a closed place. We have better information than anyone else. ..."
But before the great elder could finish speaking, everyone suddenly heard an urgent and stern warning:
"Stop, stop, don't go any further!"
