Chapter 307: Fight to the Death
Before they knew it, the two parties had crossed the border of civilization. When Lynch repeated his old tricks on the ice field and completely destroyed them, he found himself arriving at the Norsca Mountains.
It is a range of mountains that runs across the northern part of Kislev.
To the south of the mountains lies the Hell Pit, and to the north of the mountains dwell the dwarves.
Since he had no intention of visiting the Hell Pit for the time being, Lynch headed north, ready to look for the hidden city-state of the dwarves first.
It is not easy to break into the Hell Pit. The difficulty lies not in its guards but in its complex terrain.
Unless the Corrupted Clan takes the initiative to fight, most of the army will have to stop in front of the abyss.
Individual killing is inefficient, and Lynch would rather take the legion to visit one of the four great clans of the ratmen.
Before that, he might be able to unite with the dwarves of the Norse Mountains, who are a force not to be underestimated.
The Dwarves of the Norsca Mountains had lost contact with the Dwarven cities of the World's Edge Mountains for a long time. They built anti-chaos runes during the Cataclysm, when the cities fell, and used runes that resisted magic to resist the magical winds that spread from the north to the south.
It is said that they are easier to deal with than dwarves elsewhere, and warriors trapped in a siege will always yearn for the appearance of friendly beings. Lynch can satisfy them and gain their friendship.
Maybe he should go and slaughter a tribe of Chaos humans to show his sincerity to the Norse dwarves? Perhaps Lynch could open a new trade channel. As far as he knew, there was an underground passage connecting the Norse mountain cities to the Claw Sea. When the dwarves built the tunnel, they dug deeper than the ratmen's nest. It was a miracle created by their ancestors in the mythological era before they were promoted.
After the "Cataclysm", they were still fighting with the Chaos tribes and missed the battle between the two ancient races. They were isolated for too long and only returned in the last few hundred years, but have inexplicably lost contact in the past twenty years.
The ironclad ships of Karak Raven's Nest once appeared on the Sea of Claws for a brief period of time and conducted small-scale trade exchanges with Kislev, but that was a hundred years ago. Lynch was not sure whether they had been destroyed by the Chaos Storm in recent years.
If they were still alive, Lynch would most likely have received good news. The enthusiastic Norse dwarves were more casual than the dwarves in the south. If the records were true, they would be friendly forces that were easy to deal with.
Deep in the hard permafrost of the Norse Mountains, the brightest pearl of the northern mountains, the battle in Karak Dulong City is almost coming to an end.
The Chaos Lord Valmir Eslin led the warriors of the Eslin tribe and took advantage of the severe disturbance caused by the previous Chaos Storm to successively break through the three walls of the Dwarf Fortress. They fought with the Dwarves at the furnace and mine entrance in the outer city for a week.
But in front of the Chosen One, what are these dwarves without meteorite equipment? Victory has been thrown down by the Blood God. Next, the warriors only need to use demonic weapons to kill the dwarves in rune armor one by one to repay the Blood God for his help.
The dwarf gophers in the Norse Mountains are just toys that the Blood God warriors use to practice opening cans.
Valmir swore that he would place the dwarf king named Thorgard Kromson at the top of the skull seat.
The destruction of Dulong City was the beginning of his revenge. After that, he would kill all the dwarves in the Norse Mountains in retaliation for the dwarves turning a blind eye to his tribe's pleas fifty years ago.
This bloody war that has lasted for eighteen years will not end until all the dwarves are killed or the Eslin tribe is completely destroyed.
If he had not passed the test of the gods by chance, the Eslin tribe would have been destroyed long ago, killed in the sudden plague. Even if they were defeated, their destruction was only postponed for fifty years.
And all this could have been avoided.
The dwarf gophers clearly had medicine to treat diseases, but simply because the gods worshipped by the Esling tribe were "unjust" in their eyes, they rejected the Esling people's desperate requests for trade.
Valmir would have given anything for a jar of medicated wine and the dwarven rune of purification.
But the eyesight of dwarf gophers is as short as their height.
He came back this century and arrived in Dulong City again.
As the Chaos Lord, he brought the Eslin people to meet their "old friend" from fifty years ago.
However, those who arrived at the dwarf city with him were no longer dying patients. After more than half of the former patients died, they all turned into strong and powerful Blood God warriors.
Valmir remembered all the 13,001 lives clearly, whether they were children or the elderly.
When he nearly died in the Far North Wasteland, he never forgot - in front of Dulong City, his people cried and begged their chief, Valmir, who was supposed to protect them, to kill them personally to prevent the spread of the disease.
Because of Eslin's last hope of salvation, he pushed away this group of "evil god" believers.
They came back alive from the far northern wasteland, the legendary Shadow Continent.
This time, the gophers can no longer stand on the high city walls and ignore the refugees outside the city.
"Protect the anti-chaos runes and don't let the devil's minions destroy them!"
"The anvil exploded! Try the gunpowder and bring my improved organ cannon over here. We can't let the Chaos Humans attack the King's Hall!"
"Grimnir!"
Teams of dwarf warriors rushed across the broad marble bridge connecting the inner and outer cities, just like their ancestors who had fought the demons over seven thousand years ago, fearlessly charging towards the Blood God's army.
Compared to the legendary "War of Vengeance", the dispute between elves and dwarves, they remember the wave of destruction that wiped out the centuries.
The humans outside the walls were once their friends, but when the disaster struck, their friends no longer considered the dwarves their friends.
After the demons retreated, they also had large-scale exchanges with the Norsemen.
But where have their old friends gone?
Why did the Norscans no longer spread the ancient wisdom from the old gods, but instead sang praises to the dark gods and became cruel and bloody plunderers? Every dwarf knew that when they blew up cities and delayed the demons' advance, humans had already succumbed to the dwarfs' enemies and became dogs of chaos.
Dwarves do not exchange technology with their enemies, nor do they require food from them.
When the situation was at its worst, they would carefully discern the northern tribes' beliefs in gods and select the less bad and fanatical humans for trade exchanges.
The Dwarves had fewer and fewer options, because those tribes that did not worship the Dark Gods enough mostly disappeared, and were easily overthrown and expelled by the Chaos Tribes with their powerful forces.
There was once an ancient nomadic people who settled near Dulong City and established diplomatic relations with Dulong City for a short time. The Konoscans destroyed the settlement of that people and drove them to the south. This is not an isolated case.
