Chapter 199: The Dwarf High King

"Belegar, do you still need our help with the matter of Eight Peaks Mountain?" Bourne asked Belegar.

"No need, Bourne boy. You have helped us a lot. We need to erase the hatred of the dwarves ourselves. Soon the greatest hatred of the Angrand clan will be erased, and I will regain the glory of my ancestors. This is our own business as dwarves. I will go find our Supreme King. There is no reason for him not to help me this time!"

Belegar rejected Bourne. The dwarf's inherent pride made him choose to refuse.

"Let's put it this way, Belegar. As friends of Terra, there is no reason for us not to help our allies. A company of Terra guards, 100 people, will help you and your clan. Dwarves and humans are friends, and you, Belegar, are our steadfast ally, an offensive and defensive alliance. Don't refuse again."

"Well, thank you my friend. The Angrand clan will always remember you and Terra's kindness."

"My people and I are about to set off, Bourne boy, I can't wait to slaughter those orcs!"

"Good luck Belegar."

"Good luck to you too Bourne boy."

The dwarf army came quickly and left quickly. Bourne watched Belegar's army and a hundred Terran guards set out on the road into the badlands.

After successfully gaining a foothold in the border prince's territory, he prepared to carry out his next plan.

That is to build a sufficient port here, and then have the priests of the Mechanicus build sufficiently strong and powerful ships.

The Emperor gave him an oracle asking him to go to Lucia, far across the ocean, to find a race called Lizardmen.

The Emperor did not tell him why, but Bourne did not care and just did whatever the Emperor said.

The reason why Zhang Heng had to let Bourne go so quickly was because he urgently needed to know the current situation of the Lizardmen in Lukia's place. Rewriting the ending of the Battle of Nuln would definitely make things much better for these Lizardmen, but he didn't think it would really change the ending of the Lizardmen. In the end, these Lizardmen also escaped from this world on the so-called ancient saint's spaceship.

Although Zhang Heng said so, he had to make sure the Lizardmen could hold on for a while longer. He also needed these magical creatures to buy more time for Shi Lan, the creation of the ancient saints who possessed the most powerful magical power in the world.

Although Terra is powerful, it is definitely not yet able to withstand the destruction of the world.

God knows whether the rat people can make a doomsday rocket to blow up the moon. If it really blows up, Zhang Heng will not be able to stop the fall of the evil moon that is powerful enough to destroy the world. It can be imagined that if the moon falls towards the earth, it will not be something that ordinary technology can do.

The existence of the Lizardmen also attracted the attention of a large number of demons. These Lizardmen fought a bloody battle with countless demons and ratmen in the forest.

To be honest, if the Lizardmen's hatching pool could still function normally, these Lizardmen might really be able to defeat the ratmen and demons. Slan's magic is too abnormal, and the combat effectiveness of these cold-blooded soldiers is strong enough.

Just like in 40k, a powerful psyker can change the entire situation of a battle.

At this time, Belegar was leading his army with high spirits towards the Eternal Peak where the Dwarf High King was.

Such a large army, which was also huge for dwarves, was soon discovered by the dwarf rangers in the badlands.

And quickly brought the news back to Eternal Peak.

At this time, the High King of the Dwarves, Thorgrim, was sitting on his throne. He felt a headache when he heard the news reported by the Dwarf warriors.

Belegar was too persistent. He took it for granted that Belegar was coming to ask him for soldiers again. However, even though the events of Eight Peaks Mountain were recorded in the Dwarfs' Great Book of Hatred, so many attempts had proved that this once second most magnificent fortress of the Dwarves was no longer worth sacrificing any more of their precious lives.

The dwarves have a low reproductive capacity, which makes every dwarf's life precious.

Thorgrin was a rare reformer among the dwarves. It was unbelievable that a leader willing to change would emerge from among these stubborn races.

Zhang Heng also felt sorry for the character of Thorgrim. If he had not died, or if other dwarves were willing to listen to his advice, perhaps he could really lead the dwarves into a silver age again.

He advocated that the dwarves should not be overly obsessed and hateful. If the dwarves stopped fighting over trivial matters, the entire ethnic group would undergo tremendous changes.

He also advocated innovation. The dwarves were actually very creative, but their stubbornness made them believe that any new creation had to be tested for hundreds of years before it could be used on a large scale.

Steam engines, black powder, cannons and muskets, these things have been invented by the dwarves for countless years.

There are even things similar to the power packs on the backs of Space Marines, but the dwarves are reluctant to use them.

In fact, the technology for these things has been perfected long ago.

The reason why the ratmen were able to rise is not only because of their horrific population, but also because of their technology.

As long as it is powerful, it doesn't matter if there is a malfunction and a few ratmen are killed. Life is just a small price to pay for the advancement of technology.

And Thorgreen wants to change this situation.

But apart from these, his greatest idea is that he hopes all dwarves will not hide in their isolated fortresses. He hopes that all dwarves will walk out of the fortresses, enter the empire, and fight against chaos together with humans.

Unfortunately, there are still too many stubborn dwarves.

Although Thorgrim did not want to see Belegar, as the High King of the Dwarves, he knew he had no choice.

"Great High King, Belegar is already outside the city gate..."

"Hey... let him in..."

Belegar was walking on the road to Eternal Peak. In front of him was the gatekeeper of Eternal Peak. A large number of sentry posts, both visible and hidden, blocked any enemy who wanted to approach Eternal Peak.

Soon Belegar arrived in front of the Eternal Peak, and Zhang Heng also observed this magnificent city from the perspective of the Terra soldiers in the team.

This is a city that has never been conquered. The entire mountain is covered with stone walls and steel fortresses.

Looking up, the front wall of Eternal Peak is a hundred meters high, and the terrifying number of artillery batteries on it can destroy all approaching enemies.

There are also sculptures of the dwarven god Valaya on the city wall. The city where Valaya once lived was blessed by him and is free from natural disasters or evil magic.

This most magnificent city of the dwarves once had 35 dwarves living here at its peak, but now there are only 9, which is enough to show how serious the decline of the dwarves is now.

The huge door opened mechanically, and Belegar walked in as if he knew the way.

Facing you is a hall that is large enough to accommodate an entire town, and the almost hollowed-out mountain is supported by countless stone pillars.

But the real place where the dwarves live is underground.

Layer upon layer of underground space has been dug out under the entire mountain, and almost all important facilities and residential areas are underground.
