Chapter 499 The secret conversation between Mustache and Orangebeard.
Some time has passed since Agrim left the new world. The Butcher relied on his outstanding personal strength and the assistance of Damian when he planned to return to Karak Kaderin through the underground tunnel. , assisting the High King with some small tasks in regaining the mouth of Mad Dog Gap.
At least for a short time, this mountain passage connecting Eternal Peak and Iron Peak Castle was considered safe.
In order to celebrate this great victory, and also to celebrate the first fulfillment of the oath of the vengeful bearer to eliminate all hatred when he was crowned, a banquet unique to the dwarves was held between the mountains.
As the host, the High King first thanked Prince Kaderin who had just returned to the World's Edge Mountains. A barrel of Bergmann No. 1 beer, which had just caused quite a sensation in the Mountain Kingdom, was placed in front of Agrim's table, along with the beer next to it. Damian was also awarded a barrel.
"To our respected friends." After Thor Green gave an order, the dwarves started the banquet. These nagging tenacious creatures like to communicate more than anyone else, bragging to each other about killing several goblins on the battlefield and preparing for the battle axe. How much brilliance it adds.
As a guest, Agrim didn't have stage fright either. During his years in the New World, he had already developed social anxiety. As long as he wasn't embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.
As for Thorgreen's little hint of raising his eyebrows, he didn't see it at all.
It was Damian who noticed the dwarf on the throne, flicked the back of Agrim's head with his finger, and said, "The High King seems to be looking at you."
Agrim, who put down the wine barrel, wiped the liquid from his beard and looked at High King, I feel a little confused.
Could it be that he wielded the Ax of Grimnir too hard and his forehead cramped? Sure enough, he is still too young and needs more training and practice.
Seeing Agrim's unresponsiveness, and knowing that the one-sided brain of the Butcher King family was at work, Thorgrin held out three fingers to indicate that he would meet later.
No matter how upright he was, Agrim knew what it meant. He nodded slightly to show that he understood, and began to brag about his experience in the new world to the white beards of all the clans present.
Not only did he kill many beasts and monsters he had never seen before, but he also killed a member of the Thirteen Ratmen Council, which aroused suspicion. After all, this was equivalent to killing a king.
At three o'clock in the night, the High King withdrew from the banquet. The dwarves' natural patience was also fully demonstrated at the banquet. It could not be considered a success if it did not last for one night.
Agrim, who was still bragging to others, could only put down the wine barrel, said he wanted to put some water in it, and followed the High King to the tent.
"How is the situation in Caledor?"
Thorgreen chose to ask Agrim straight to the point. Originally, his uncle's idea was to send Agrim away to avoid abnormalities in the election of the High King, but seeing him bragging about what he had seen along the way, It seemed that Imrik was not disliked at all and was placed in a front-line combat position.
Although it is difficult for an upright person to successfully become a spy, at least some information is still available.
Agrim, who was still a little drunk, sat down. When he heard these words, his face darkened, and he sighed and said,
"If you ask me, at least it's much better than us."
"Tell me what you think." Thorgreen didn't. Anxious to deny this conclusion, although the dwarves who went to the New World for trade sent back a lot of information, they believed that Young Dragon Bay and Qingyan Port could indeed provide Caledor with a large amount of resources and manpower, but they wanted to restore the basic military strength of the old dragon-shielding era. impossible.
"They...such as Masnow, as you know, the Dragon Prince who scouted Plagg in the Great Holy War last time."
Thorgreen nodded. He was particularly impressed by the Great Holy War, including several Dragon Princes. in this way.
"I fought side by side with him on the front line for four years. I saw him kill at least two Disaster Lords and countless rat warlords. And there are at least four or five such people in Caledor. Just like Damian outside." Now Agrim doesn't think he will lose to Damian, but winning is not an easy task. It is difficult to judge if it is not a life and death situation.
At least judging from Damian's current performance, War Undertaker is still a bit confident, but if we defeat this one, there will probably be a few more. I heard that there are two humans with similar strength to him. I really don't know Caledor's background. How strong. Thorgreen wiped his beard and thought about this matter carefully, although Eternal Peak and Caledor were doing these things out of interests.
But there is no doubt that Caledor has provided more sincerity, and the two Doomsday Anvils have been sent back. At least these artifacts forged by Father God Granny are enough to make the Rune Blacksmith Guild shut up their nagging mouths. .
And the only reason Imrik is willing to do this is the dragon horn hidden in the ancestral treasure house of Eight Peaks Mountain.
"Do you think they have the ability to take back the Eight Peaks Mountains on their own?" Thorgreen asked the most critical question for cooperation. If you want to cooperate, at least the strengths must match, otherwise it will be empty talk.
Agrim shook his head, but that's not to say there was no chance. "If it were before, with only the elves, we would have suffered a lot of losses even if we recovered. But if we include Mrs. Kislev and the lizardmen, this matter will be difficult for me." It's hard to judge."
"What's more, Imric seems to be stronger than during the Great Holy War, and so is Minas Nir, his partner. As for those dragon princes, they seem to be protected by some dragon father, and they can Use the power of thunder."
Very interesting thing...
Thorgrin did not immediately ask Imrik what his current strength was. Instead, he asked about Mrs. Kisri's situation, "How strong are these mercenaries? Can they win? Green boy?"
Well, how should I answer this? It can't be said to be random killing.
Agrim was a little embarrassed. He was actually a little bit envious of these Kisli ladies.
When it comes to wealth, dwarves are definitely not inferior to elves, but tradition is a bit troublesome. There is no precedent for hiring human soldiers on a large scale.
"I think the combat effectiveness of these Kislev ladies who survived in the end can be compared to a small mountain fortress."
"Do you have the contact information of their person in charge?"
After hearing this, Agrim knew that Thor Green was targeting Let's face these humans who work for money. After regaining Gunbad Peak, they will definitely want to find some reliable soldiers to make up for the lack of dwarves.
After thinking for a moment, he thought of Raskol, but it seemed that Damian had said that this Kisili lady had been left in Caledor to pursue further studies. It seemed that it had only been a year.
Who else is there? The other few don't seem familiar...
War Undertaker propped up his chin with a fist as big as a casserole and thought about the humans who left a deep impression on the battlefield. Soon a ferocious face with a blindfold covering his left eye entered. in mind.
So he blurted out, "Mazov, a villain who likes to use explosives to turn his enemies into mincemeat. He has a high prestige among the mercenaries and has good strength." "
You try to contact him and get a thousand-man legion. As long as They can meet my expectations, gold is not a problem."
Thorgreen was very confident and was a little curious about this mercenary. Agrim said that they were responsible for chasing after the snake and rat jihad at the end of the war, and they were responsible for digging holes in the ground to hunt mice. Come up with a unique set of summary experiences.
If this effect really exists, the problem of human beings not being good at tunnel warfare can be solved. There is no reason for precious dwarves to use their lives to fill the gap. Gold is the best weapon.
