Warhammer

In any case, something bad is bound to happen to all countries that maintain order; it is just a matter of time and size.

Let these people fight among themselves - just like the final moment in the official history, the elves were crippled by the civil war, the lizardmen were taken away by the rats with cheats, the empire fought the undead first and then was tortured by the plague...

With such a mess of things, it is rare for Al to look at things from the perspective of the overall order camp. Just looking at the original plot as a high-dimensional creature is enough to treat hypotension. If he experienced it personally, seeing the enemy at the door, he had to work hard to withstand the pressure, and his allies were frantically fighting each other, he would probably vomit blood.

Therefore, he must find a way to interfere and preserve as much of the manpower on the side of order as possible to prepare for the end.

Aiur has always been cautious and prepared. For example, when he was fighting the Southern War, he was always considering issues such as the enemy's active landing. In the end, it didn't make any sense to prevent the disruption of the battle at sea, so he went straight to the center of his home and destroyed Tyrell.

But he still has to maintain this attitude.

For a case like the dwarves, it was fine when they were unstoppable and aggressive in the Northern Expedition, but now the front line is blocked in the south. If they are lucky, there will be a breakthrough in ten days or half a month, but if they are slow, there will be no results in three to five years or even longer. It is possible that the result will be another "bloody victory" or "bloody defeat".

To be fair, apart from the fact that they hold grudges and are stubborn to the point of being extremely stubborn, the dwarves can be said to be one of the most powerful allies of the side of order.

Especially their stubbornness and loyalty are two sides of the same coin, against hatred, against their own kind, against order and chaos...

The stubbornness of the dwarves also makes them the best allies. Within the scope of Al's ability, he must help the dwarves as much as possible, and this matter will also be of great benefit to him.

Dwarves facing the threat of war may be the three major factions of order:

Among elves, humans (mainly the Empire), and dwarves, this is the easiest race to gain favor with.

As long as you really draw your knife and fight alongside him, the dwarf will at least not let him down for his efforts today.

If the relationship with the dwarves is good, it will be easier to deal with the big brother of the Empire. This will be of great help to the development of the Alliance and its foothold in the order of the Western Old Continent dominated by the Empire.

So what's the point of talking about commission? Ah! My brother said it when we first met! As long as it's against evil, your business is my brother's business!

You don't need to say anything here! The allied army is already ready to go. Look, they are not playing tricks on you.

Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, Ai'er can gain a lot from it. The only risk is that the enemy may be too strong. He went over and formed a team with the dwarves to send them off...

To put it more darkly, Al is trying to plaster himself with honor, being both a hypocrite and a hypocrite - I said I don't want anything, but I brought my own food to help, and I have fought in countless battles, both big and small, so you can't really give me nothing, right?

If it really doesn't work, then they can just cry poor in private. Even if they can get some interest-free loans, it will be a waste of money for the alliance.

Since he wanted the name of "Chivalrous Expeditionary Force", he actually couldn't miss out on many benefits.

He had previously told the great powers of order: Brothers may be weak, but you can call on them when you need help. Few people took it seriously before he actually did so, but as long as Ai'er could fight his way out of the dwarves and gain a reputation, he would become famous for every flagpole he built.

Even if we take a step back, there is no way he can break Lothar's throne and seize the Phoenix King's throne. If the elves really start a civil war in the future and want to blow up the Guidestone and the White Tower, only one tenth of the population of their own tribe will be left, and they can't even muster a group of 10,000 people. For such a bold move, Ai'er can still raise the call for "stop the civil war, unite to resist chaos" and run over to intervene. At least he can save as much as possible.

If such a reputation is established, everyone will laugh and think that this boy is a kind person. In the future, when there is something that they don't want Al to take care of, Al can still intervene.

“Medieval Peacekeeping”

"Chivalrous Expedition"

"The Savior Army"

"Order Column!"

Chapter 106: Badlands Expedition

If this person is not established early, it will be too late to interfere in the future, and it will inevitably lead to strong suspicion and backlash.

Only when the Alliance was still weak and no one took it seriously did it show its honesty and kindness in this regard. In the future, it would interfere in other countries' internal affairs, such as the War of the Three Emperors, the War of the Elf Heaven, and the division of faith in the Empire...

Al simply went to support the party he supported in the name of the Order Column.

Although there will certainly be a lot of opposition, it doesn't matter. Al can recite on the spot:

If it is beneficial to the order of life and death, why should we avoid it because of misfortune or fortune?

Only the Spring and Autumn Annals know me and judge me!

My heart and my actions are as clear as a clear mirror, and everything I do is righteous!

and many more.

Anyway, his goal is to win the Battle of the End, so he has to maintain the strength of the order side. It doesn't matter if he offends people or is branded as an "imperialist".

If we defeat the four ET mothers and take over, you will know what times have changed!

Archaon, the Everchosen, has passed away—and now it is the return of Archaon, the Eternal King!

......

The meeting with the dwarf delegation ended quickly with Al's "heartfelt words".

Norn Bronzebeard couldn't believe it until he walked out of the throne room. He really, really "pulled" a whole country's promise to join the war for the mountains?

As the most senior member of the Bronzebeard Legion, Graden was very excited. He was usually taciturn, unlike the traditional dwarf elders who were always talkative and concerned about various hatreds and traditions. But he was in a very cheerful mood during this period and became more talkative.

On the ship to Lusigny, he kept talking about the past to his companions, recalling the bloody battle on the Silver Road, recalling the unity of all races in the great war, recalling Middenheim...

Because in front of Graden, the dwarves in the delegation were just "little mustaches", so no one could interrupt the elder's chatter when facing Graden, and could only endure the old dwarf's muttering.

Graden is not a dwarf with a deep hatred. Normally, his life span should be around two or three hundred years. However, due to the metaphysics of the dwarf's life span - if one holds on to some obsession, such as the most common one, because of a deep hatred, then he can live a very long time and become a respected elder.

If one is really too angry, he may even be "angry to death" and "unable to sleep" in a double sense after death, and he may have no problem living for thousands of years.

As long as they have obsession, dwarves can live forever, and Graden obviously belongs to this category, but no one in the team knows what the old dwarf is obsessed with.

When they came to Margarita, there were two ships, and when they left, it became a fleet of more than twenty large ships. Ai'er sent reinforcements to Lucinni, stored up supplies, and escorted the dwarf delegation along the way. Although the pirate problem in the southern waters has been much calmer since Sartosa surrendered to the Double-Headed Eagle, it is still necessary to be prepared.

This dwarf team is the key to connecting Ai'er with the Mountain Kingdom and spreading his reputation as "the guardian of justice in the south, the timely rain of order, and the loyal Ai family man". He doesn't want to be ruined by the short-sighted pirates, which would make his previous performance in vain and damage his relationship with the dwarves.

Norn, Gradin and his companions took a three-day boat ride and finally landed in Lusigny. Because the city was rebuilt by Ai'er with garrison troops, it recovered quite quickly after experiencing the worst destruction in the Southern War. At the same time, because it is adjacent to the evil den of Sartosa and the western border, there is a certain need for border defense, so Ai'er stationed a large army here.

After the two former royal families in the city of Lusigni were massacred, only a few powerful local people were left, and the Duke of Lusigni was also a young local noble appointed by Al.

After Margarita personally experienced the "white robe", the latter became his admirer and also a publicly converted Five Seals believer.

After he captured Miragliano, he began to spread the word that the best way out for the Tyrells was to negotiate with Aiur and stop the war, and he was a guide who brought his own food.

He himself may have stayed in Margherita longer after the war than in Lusigny. Under such circumstances, this principality, like Miragliano and Remas, is one of the three principalities over which Aiel has the deepest control.

There are 10,000 beastmen and human soldiers stationed here, and the third brother, Barbatos, is in charge of this place.

The dwarven delegation received Ai'er's promise:

After their brief rest in Lusigny, the local expeditionary force of 3,000 people will be sent to escort them all the way to Barak Sea Gate with a fleet. By then, the envoys sent by Aiel to communicate with the Kingdom of Mountains about "alliance support" will almost have returned. By then, subsequent expeditionary forces will arrive in batches within a few months and join the war in the badlands and mountains.

However, considering that the alliance had just finished a war in the South, the country had a lot of work to do, and now it had to mobilize the entire army to march east to support its allies, and the treasury was empty. I'm not crying poor! I'm really not hinting at anything!

It's just stating an objective fact!

The Alliance is also poor now, and they don't need to be compensated for sending troops. However, if supplies are transported from the country over long distances and high mountains, the losses will be severe, and the Alliance simply cannot afford it.

Therefore, the dwarves need to bear the problem of supply and baggage. In addition, all other expenses, even the soldiers' salaries, do not need to be paid by the dwarves, and will still be paid by the alliance itself.

This sounded simply...

Ancestors, please help me!

When did such kind people appear among the young races?

Al's sincere promise made Graden want to make a decision right then and there - to unload all the property on the ship and donate it to the Alliance as a gift from the Bronzebeard Family to fill the treasury. However, Al firmly refused: it was agreed that it was out of friendship for the alliance and order, and that the support would be free and without reward!

Then you can’t take a single cent!

Carry forward the noble character of the alliance!

We are a new force, different from those in the past who only cared about their own business!

The old dwarf was so moved that he had no doubt that if El had turned around and asked Graden to help him slay a dragon or something, the old dwarf would have packed up his equipment and bravely challenged the beast for his "friend".

Seeing that Aiel insisted and also feeling that he should not "damage the noble morals of his allies", the old dwarf did not insist any more. Instead, Norn was very capable. As soon as he went out, he went to Margarita to make large purchases. He did not bargain at all and even paid a premium. He placed a large number of orders and privately looked into whether they could be "gifted" to the municipal or trade departments of the Alliance. As a result, when they visited, they learned that Aiel had issued an order that gifts from friends in the mountains must not be accepted. This made the delegation sigh again, and they believed that the Lord of the Alliance was "virtuous", and so were his people.

After the delegation arrived in Lusigny, Barbatos met with them and proposed that as long as the dwarves were willing to provide enough supplies, the first batch of support troops could be increased to 5,000 people, including 4,000 human soldiers, 800 angry-horned beasts, 80 grenade trolls and 120 heavily armored centaurs.

These troops will go directly with the delegation to the expeditionary force of Barak Seamen. If, by any chance, the Mountain Kingdom refuses the support of the Alliance, the Alliance will prepare supplies on its own, apply to the dwarves for military passage, bring their own dry food south to the badlands to attack the greenskins, and attract enemy forces to support the dwarves' front line.

After meeting El, Graden was deeply touched, and after meeting Barbatos, he felt that the entire Southern Alliance family was quite kind.

The third brother really didn’t act.

Because this was an order from Al, she would naturally be very active in carrying it out. In addition, the Sheep Girl belongs to the neutral good or lawful neutral camp, has never made enemies (spontaneous love rivals do not count), and is very enthusiastic about helping her allies. For old dwarves like me who have seen the shortcomings of young races such as "short life, changeable, arrogant and treacherous" and are slightly disappointed with humans, this is simply perfect for them.

If the dwarves at the Mountain Assembly held by the High Court all shared Graden's opinion, then perhaps the "tall dwarf" and "wild dwarf" personas that El had previously praised and powdered himself up for could come true.

The dwarf made a decision:

You are a really nice person (Al)!

From now on, you and I will be like a giant with a hammer—Sigma’s story!

Chapter 107: Navy and Army

After seeing off the dwarf delegation, Al was not idle either.

His main tasks during this period are:

Political and military.

Well, actually, I do everything.

In the military field, it is mainly divided into land and sea. The navy has stepped up its crackdown on pirates and vigorously cleared the toilet route that had been blocked for more than two years. The maritime trade that had been held back for too long was like a flood that was released by the opening of a floodgate, rushing out with great momentum. The exchanges between the mainland and colonies were increased to improve control.

Although the two old sailors, Wilson and Taylor, did not make any contributions in the Southern War, that letter made Al see their abilities and he entrusted them with important tasks. After the Tobaro fleet sank itself, the entire Tyrell naval force suffered a severe blow. It is not to say that the Tyrells were left with no ships after Randolph sank that fleet. The former's fleet accounted for only a quarter of the Tyrells' maritime power at most.

It was because they used their own death to show everyone the consequences of angering the double-headed eagle, which made many people who originally wanted to "obey orders but not declarations" and "use the ships for their own benefit" and who thought that the United Kingdom lacked warships and that their own status was very important, or even that they were in a state of "if you can't take me here, I can take me elsewhere" feel nervous. They no longer dared to isolate and exclude those who were sent by the Alliance to interfere and gain control of the situation as they did before.

After all, they are waiting for a price. When the entire Tyrell Kingdom has surrendered to the conqueror, even if they can really instigate the fleet sailors to defect with them, they will inevitably be charged with treason in the end, and they won't even know where to run.

The Al family now dominates the entire South.

If they went to Araby, an isolated fleet would soon be drowned, either buried in the waves or covered in the sand; if they went to Bretonnia? Who among the loose states would risk breaking up with the larger Southern Alliance after the merger to accommodate a traitorous fleet?

The Empire has no chance either... After carefully considering their own path forward, the vast majority of people wisely chose to succumb to reality and were not so resistant to the Double-Headed Eagle making moves in their territory.

For example, Aiel directly assigned the first and second commanders of the combined fleet to the Estalia, namely "Captain" Taylor Benser and Jan Byron Wilson, and no one on the Tyrell side dared to comment on this.

As for the few stubborn elements who are not wise enough, do not understand the overall situation, and still want to rely on their own strength to create an independent little kingdom and form their own world.

Aiel is very kind, even by the standards of this world he can be called "soft-hearted" and "indecisive", but he will still take action against those who are stubborn, expel them from the army, kick them out, and tell them to go and be a wealthy hermit if they don't want to die. Anyway, anyone who can become a captain or a naval officer in Tyrell cannot have a poor family background, and even if they have, their family conditions will have improved after working in the navy for so many years.

As for those who were determined to commit suicide, Al gave the order and his boys carried it out - he didn't even need his boys to take action. As long as an order was issued, a few blue hats would go and arrest them, and no one dared to stop them.

In Estali, the main base of the United Kingdom, the blue hats are definitely the most popular among the people in the power institutions. "Defending the savior's country, being the sword and the shield; eradicating the evil of this world and protecting the lives of the people" is the creed of the Ministry of the Interior and their daily work.

But in Tyrell, people still have doubts about the lackeys of the "King of the Alliance" and the "Conqueror", and are not yet ready to accept them, but they silently accept the activities of the blue hats and their presence in their daily lives.

As for the current Alliance Navy, Taylor Benser is in charge of Margarita as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, while Wilson personally leads the fleet to suppress bandits and achieve remarkable results. The pirate corpses hanging in the port of Margarita are replenished with fresh ones every day, and the seabirds are very happy as they have snacks every day.

Tyrell's naval forces suffered a severe blow due to the sinking of the fleet and can only lie dormant for the time being. However, they still control the largest and most powerful naval forces in the Alliance, so their status will inevitably rise in the future.

Aiur has high hopes for his fleet, and has always wanted to iterate and update it, introducing more advanced technology. If it can be developed to the level of ironclad ships, and with the protection of the Four Mothers, and not be chopped apart by the axes of the Khorne Kobolds, it should be able to fight against the dragon ship fleet brought out by Chaos Ren with the blessing of the evil god.

Besides, reality is not like in the stories. The Imperials can make such strange things as land ships, and a steam tank can serve for more than 500 years. Engineers can maintain and replace all the parts in it, but they just can't make new ones. This is a crooked technology tree that seems like someone has blindfolded them and turned on cognitive interference (By a certain blue big bird); the dwarves can build airships, ironclad ships, and trains, but they have never thought of making armored tanks that seem to be very suitable for the dwarf's combat style.

Ai'er wants to absorb the strengths of all schools of thought, the magical knowledge of the elves, and the technology of the imperial dwarves. This is what the Alliance wants!

On the other hand, the army's problems mainly focus on conscription and troop deployment.

It can be said that he was hypocritical and put on a show in front of the dwarf.

But he really didn't lie about sending troops.

After learning that the war between the dwarves and the mountains had reached a stalemate, he continued to send reinforcements to Lucini and made preparations for an expedition to the badlands in advance. He even had the idea of ​​supporting the dwarves before he learned of the stalemate in Black Rock Castle. 1+1>2, and helping the dwarves end the war and enter a state of recuperation as soon as possible would definitely be beneficial to the situation.

To put it bluntly, Ai'er was using the "fast-growing" warriors under his own legion to reduce the bloodshed of the dwarves.

No matter whether it is Beastmen or Humans, their fertility is not comparable to that of Dwarves. Even with the blessing of Valaya and the revival of the Shepherd God that has brought about an increase in fertility worldwide, by the time the Beastmen have grown from one hundred to ten thousand, the number of Dwarves is estimated to have not even exceeded one thousand.

As for the power, technology and secrets held by the dwarves, no matter how great a favor he owes to the dwarves, they cannot be leaked. Moreover, even if they open the door to the Alliance regardless of cost and consequences, many things involving magic and metaphysics cannot be fully understood in dozens or hundreds of years.

Moreover, the dwarves' unique resistance to corrosion and the generous legacy of their ancestors have destined them to be indispensable to the camp of order and important to the End of Time.

If he wanted to resist in a more cruel way, he would exchange two human soldiers of the Alliance for the life of a dwarf on the battlefield in the mountains. Al was willing to do it.

After all, as long as there are no problems within the alliance, if the current momentum continues to grow, Al might even have to worry about food issues in the future.

Nowadays, the Church of Paradise alone takes in thousands of babies every year. After the conquest of Tyrell, this number once exceeded two thousand. They receive the collective upbringing and education that Aiur had experienced. These children will provide fresh blood for all walks of life in the future. Many of them simply strive for the military since childhood and serve as military reserves.

The alliance really has no shortage of people.

Being able to use the possibility of "corruption" threat, whose fertility and growth rate far exceed those of the main ethnic groups in the alliance, to protect the dwarves and restore their health. Al did not dare to speak his mind directly, to anyone, even to himself, but he did have such an idea.

If the dwarves really lost their minds and rejected Ai'er's selfless support, he would not be angry. He would do as he said to the dwarf delegation: as long as the dwarves provided the right of passage, he would have no problem bringing his own food and opening up a new battlefield to support the Mountain Kingdom.

If the dwarves didn't even agree to this, he even considered landing directly in the Barrens, also known as the "Bad Lands", and sweeping the greenskins directly to the east.
