Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-Fourth Military Editor-in-Chief
"Humans have always relied on the technology of the dwarves. Since many years ago, the dwarves have always produced the best."
In the Earl of Glamorgan in spring, Ryan and Belegar walked on the field ridge one after another, heading towards the dwarf settlement.
Along the way, Belega kept chattering something, and Ryan listened most of the time, only occasionally answering a few words.
Neither Morgiana nor Orika came out. The only person following Ryan was his butler Katzenberg. Seeing that both Ryan and Katzenberg were listening attentively, Belega opened the conversation. He learned from their Ange
The glorious history of the Lande clan begins, telling how prosperous and powerful the Eight Peaks Mountain was at that time, and how they persisted for hundreds of years in the attack of greenskins and ratmen, but in the end they were still outmatched and had no choice but to withdraw.
Bafeng Mountain, began his wandering journey.
"Since you, with a population of 100,000, were unable to defend the Eight Peaks Mountains against the siege of greenskins and ratmen at that time, why are you so sure now, King Belegar, that you can form an expeditionary force to recapture the Eight Peaks Mountains?" Steward Katzenberg
asked curiously.
"Neither the greenskins nor the greenskins were more aggressive than before. When we held on to the Eight Peaks Mountain, that was when the greenskins were at their most powerful. During the earthquake and the frenzied attacks of the ratmen and greenskins, at least half of the dwarf fortresses were destroyed.
It fell." Belegar was quite unconvinced when he talked about this humiliating history. He continued: "But later, Emperor Charlemagne established the empire and signed the 'Holy Alliance' with the Dwarf High King.
established a huge alliance
The army fought together to deal with the largest greenskin frenzy in history. The war lasted from sunrise to sunset. The combined forces of humans and dwarves completely defeated the greenskin attack. The heavy losses in this war took the greenskins hundreds of years to fight.
Recover, and no greenskin warlord can organize a waaagh as large as the first Battle of Blackfire Pass!, Humph! If you ask me, if we can persist until the Battle of Blackfire Pass, Eight Peaks Mountain will definitely be able to hold on.
.”
Ryan understood somewhat. Although the dwarves were not as good as before, the scale and combat effectiveness of the greenskins were not as good as before when they attacked the Eight Peaks Mountain. The greenskins who were completely defeated in the first battle of Blackfire Pass were no longer united and became a small group again.
tribal mode, after that, either
Which greenskin warlord, such as the late Gorbad "Ironclaw", "King of Potbelly" Gulu, or the famous living Grimgor Ironhide, "Greenseer" Urzag or "Warlord of Eight Peaks"
"Skarsnik, what they can command is just a tribe.
"So, you humans have really benefited a lot from us dwarves. How much did the dwarves pay when they helped Charlemagne unify the empire? Yes, this is indeed what the dwarves owe you. After all, if it weren't for Charlemagne who saved the world,
The High King of the Dwarves at that time
, maybe the bloodline of the High King family of Karaz-a-Karak has long been extinct, but I hope you can repay the favor and ask me to help you attack the Blackstone stronghold, no problem, I, Belegar, will do what I say." Belegar.
He patted his chest but kept his eyes on Ryan.
The implication is that you must remember the expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountain! I, Beleja, helped you this time, and it will be your turn to help us next time! You cannot regret it.
Ryan smiled and nodded repeatedly. He remembered what happened when the empire was first established. Indeed, without the help of the dwarves, Charlemagne might not have been able to establish the empire.
As we all know, Charlemagne united twelve human tribes to establish an empire, but in a series of wars, Charlemagne actually encountered many obstacles.
Among them, the most fierce opposition was the Thuringian tribe at that time, which is now the Midden (part of) the empire. The king of the Thuringian tribe at that time was called "Mad King" Ochun, who was basically unified under Charlemagne.
Or defeated most of the human tribes
In the end, he and his tribe always refused to surrender or submit. Ochun laughed at other tribes for actually bowing at Charlemagne's feet, but as a true pure man, he would only happily rush to the main temple of Ulric to pay homage to the White Wolf.
Rick offered his loyalty.
In order to deal with the last force that was unwilling to surrender to him, Charlemagne united the tribes and launched a war of conquest. The Thuringian tribe also gathered a large army to prepare for the battle. But when it came time for the confrontation, Mad King Autumn looked at the Carolingians.
The tribe's army was dumbfounded.
With the help of the dwarves, the Carolingian tribes have all been equipped with chainmail and breastplates, and are armed with sophisticated dwarven standard equipment. The leader, Charlemagne, is wearing a full-body plate armor of dwarven enchanted rune meteorite iron, and is holding the artifact war hammer Gael-
Malaz, prepare to launch the final attack on the Thuringians.
Dwarf trebuchets, dwarf ballistas, dwarf hard bows, and dwarf chariots have all been arranged.
The Thuringian tribe is still wearing leather armor made of animal skins, and many tribal warriors are still shirtless and wearing wolf skins. The weapons in their hands are simple stone-ground battle axes and spears, as well as simple
There are very few bows, arrows, and even decent long swords.
This is not an era, how can we fight this? The Thuringians take the lead in a duel with Charlemagne's Carolingian tribe? Not to mention that Charlemagne unified all human tribes, ranking first in terms of the number of armies and cavalry.
Above the Thuringians.
In the first confrontation, even the stubborn Thuringians were forced to retreat. However, out of respect for his fellow human beings, Charlemagne did not order an extermination. In order to avoid future resistance and reputation stain, Charlemagne ordered the Thuringians to be killed.
An ultimatum, demanding a championship showdown.
Mad King Ochun reluctantly stepped forward to challenge, and the two greatest human warriors engaged in an epic championship showdown. Both sides climbed thousands of meters of peaks with bare hands and faced off in front of the White Wolf Holy Fire in the main temple of Ulric. Charlie
Man withstood the mad onslaught of Mad King Ojun and defeated him before Ulric's sacred fire.
Mad King Autumn faced two choices, either the entire tribe was slaughtered, or he chose to surrender. In the will of Ulric, Mad King Autumn learned that Charlemagne was the divinely chosen champion of Ulric the White Wolf.
As a pure man, you must be responsible for the outcome of the championship showdown.
From that day on, the powerful Thuringians declared their surrender, and the territory of the empire was established for the first time.
After thinking about a long list of stories, Ryan focused his attention back on Belegar: "King Belegar, how many tribesmen have you come this time?"
"About three thousand, two thousand of them are excellent warriors." Belega nodded and said roughly: "After a long journey, everyone is exhausted. Ryan, you must make good arrangements for their food and accommodation."
"There's no problem with that. If you have any questions, you can go to Katzenberg." Ryan threw the burden to Katzenberg. The butler could only smile bitterly. The dwarf's requirements are often numerous, troublesome, picky and laborious.
To please him, every time Ryan asked him to deal with the dwarves, it gave him a headache.
Fortunately, the Dukes of Brittany supported Ryan and Francois' plan to jointly attack the Blackstone stronghold. They did not send troops but provided financial support, and Ryan's father-in-law even opened his own treasury.
Francois vowed to cut the remaining head of Kemmler into several pieces.
His father-in-law is rich, the Duchy of Winford is very rich, and Ryan does not have to worry about military expenses.
"My army has been formed. No matter how much you and your territory add, it can't support it." Belega understood this aspect. The King of Bafeng Mountain already knew how to raise military supplies and pay military salaries when he attacked Bafeng Mountain many times.
difficulty.
Due to the lack of maintenance equipment and supply logistics in the base area, as well as the lack of collateral, Belega has always had to pay much higher military pay and maintenance fees than normal.
When they arrived at the camp of the Angland clan, a large group of dwarves had already set up camp to rest, and smoke was floating in the sky. Lane's men were transporting carts of grain, vegetables, meat, ale and daily necessities.
Within the camp.
"My chief engineer Halharver-Gold Digger and I will use your workshop to produce siege weapons, mainly cannons and organ cannons." Belega-Iron Hammer said to Ryan: "We will ally with you.
Attack the Blackstone stronghold, this is our entire army establishment."
Belegar handed over a piece of parchment on which the troops of the Angrond clan were preparing to participate in this military operation.

This is a heavy list. At Ryan's request, Belegar wrote letters everywhere and summoned a large number of tribesmen to help Britannia attack the Blackstone stronghold.
Ryan nodded to Katzenberg. He also took out a thick piece of parchment and handed it to King Belegar: "This is our military list for participating in the attack on the Blackstone stronghold."
