Everyone's eyes then turned to Mad Hammer, who coughed and said, "That's right, I did reject him. He then had Iron Cauldron send him out of the Degris Mountain Range, but then somehow he somehow managed to get back up and injured the two elders. I will bear the blame for this matter! " He had planned things well and used a poison plan to control the two elders, but they had no choice but to appear in the Clan Gathering, otherwise, it would attract suspicion even more. He simply used an alchemy to strip them of their ability to move, making them unable to speak or write, and in the end, with a flip of his hand, he poured the dirty water onto Werther's head.
Faced with the crowd's accusations, Iron Cauldron wasn't sure. He tried to defend himself in a low voice, "But, I think that young man wasn't a bad person, that's why I brought him here. "How could that be?" Immediately, many of the dwarves yelled at him, "Idiot! Many humans have only used their outer appearances to deceive us and gain our trust. You are already two hundred years old, why are you still so childish! " As he spoke, Iron Can was left speechless. He instinctively felt that this matter was not that simple, but was defeated by everyone's words.
Mad Hammer suddenly shouted, "Enough! Silence! I called everyone here today, other than announcing the two elders' terrible news, there's another thing. " He used a heavy tone and said, "I believe everyone has heard about it. Now that the chaos on the continent has been discovered, I am afraid in less than three years, there will be an all-out war that will engulf the entire Grace Mainland! And the focal point of this war, is undoubtedly Klein and Kaiser, these two human empires! Therefore, now that it is the time for us dwarves to live or die, it is time for us to decide our next course of action. "
Once he said that, it caused a lot of commotion. Thousands of dwarves were talking among themselves, asking the old man who had asked Iron Cauldron the other day, "Third Elder, you said you want to decide the direction of our dwarves? As long as we do not participate in the wars on the continent, no one will ever come knocking on our door. Why should we abandon this peaceful life and seek an ally? " His words garnered the agreement of others.
Crazy Hammer laughed, "What Master Iron Ore said is also wrong. That's right, us dwarves indeed have nothing to fight for, but we dwarves cannot keep guarding the mountains like this forever if we want to develop. Furthermore, other than forging, we have no other advantages, we have to buy wine from the human world. Although we dwarves are gifted in forging, humans have always looked down on us as barbarians living in the mountains. We are taking advantage of this war on the continent to lead our people out of the Tigris Mountain Range. I even want to establish our own kingdom, the land of the dwarves! Spread the Moratan faith throughout the continent! "
These words were quite provocative and Mad Hammer was right. Although Dwarves were born to be blacksmiths, they had a low status in human society, and many humans even thought that they were close relatives of barbarians. The simple but proud dwarves found this unbearable, and Mad Hammer's words immediately resonated with most of the people present, resonating with them.
Seeing the crowd's excitement, Mad Hammer revealed an almost imperceptible smile, and waved his hand, "Enough! I know that all of us are anxious for the Dwarves to be able to stand on the mainland and restore the glory of our ancestors. However, this matter was not something that could be accomplished in just one or two days. And it's hard to see the effect just by our own power. To this end, I specially invited a strong ally, I believe that with his help, we dwarves will be able to rejuvenate faster! "We invite the Kaiser Empire's crown prince, Karov!"
"The crown prince of Kaiser?" Karov? "Didn't I remember that he was here the year before last?" That's right, and they were even chased away by the Second Elder! " The crowd broke out into a flurry of discussion. Six people walked in from the outside. The one in the front was striding forward with vigorous strides, looking forward to the show. He had the aura of an emperor, and he was none other than Kaiser's Prince Karov. Behind them were four Golden Warrior guards. Mad Hammer personally went down to greet them, and the seven of them stepped onto the stage. Karov gave a gentle smile and said in a clear voice, "Friends of the Dwarf Tribe, I am Kaiser's Karov." Hello everyone! " The sound of this explosion spread far and wide, suppressing all the noise on the stage.
All the Dwarves felt a chill in their hearts. Some of them thought to themselves, "This fellow is the son of that lunatic Adolf, and he is also a Sword Saint. He is truly powerful!" "Today, I am here on behalf of the entire Kaiser Empire. My royal father knows that all of you are anxious to revive the dwarves and restore the glory of the ancient era, so he specially sent me as a representative to conclude an eternal pact with his strong dwarven friends. I swear to the greatest god, the Kaiser Empire will do its best to help the dwarves rebuild their homeland and regain their noble position in the Grace Mainland!"
With just a few words, especially with his identity as the crown prince of a country, he was more persuasive. Many people immediately thought of this. After all, the Kaiser Empire was the most powerful Empire on the continent. If they could obtain its full support, there would be even greater hope for the revival of the Dwarves. Mad Hammer saw that the situation was about to develop, and immediately shouted, "Everyone, there's no need to worry. Once the Kaiser Empire allied with us, we Dwarves will have an independent side. We are not vassals of the Kaiser Empire. I have received Prince Karov's guarantee for this. " Karov also laughed, "Of course. I guarantee on behalf of the entire Kaiser Empire that the Dwarves will forever be the most loyal and reliable ally of the Empire, and not a subordinate or subordinate. "
This solemn guarantee once again won the support of many people. Some of the more experienced and experienced people had originally thought that the Kaiser Empire had always been the most ambitious group on the continent. For thousands of years, no matter which emperor succeeded the throne, they would always conquer the entire world as their central goal. More than half of the wars on the continent had been instigated by the Kaiser Empire. Therefore, the various races had always been wary of this country, avoiding it. The last time when Karov came to persuade the upper echelons of the Dwarves, they were chased out by the Second Elder. From this, it could be seen that.
From the moment Karov appeared to the time he and Crazy Hammer had lied to everyone, the Head Elder's face had always been calm, with his eyes closed, as if he did not care at all. The Second Elder was staring at them furiously, as if he was about to spew out fire. When he saw that his clansmen were moved by their sweet words, he was even more enraged and trembled from head to toe. Unfortunately, he was under the effect of the most powerful alchemy, and was also under the effect of the Necromancy Mage's Curse-like Puppet Technique.
Without the obstruction of the two elders, he could easily cover the sky with one hand in regards to the Dwarves. Seeing that his alliance with Kaiser had already been formed, he walked up to the two elders and whispered with a smile, "How is it, two elders?" When I am king of the dwarves, I will command a great army to go to war on the continent, and then I will establish a land that belongs only to the dwarves, and spread the faith of Moradin to every corner of the continent. What do you think? " The Great Elder remained silent. The Second Elder gritted his teeth, but he could do nothing about it.
If one were to say that apart from the two elders, the only one present still maintained his clarity of mind, and was not bewitched by the beautiful future that Crazy Hammer had described, would be the Iron Cauldron. This middle-aged dwarf master had always been known for his calm mind, and was considered an exception among the impulsive dwarves. Because of this, he was favored by the Great Elder. He would often impart to him some other knowledge, such as how to manage a large race. As for this abnormal volcanic activity, the Great Elder had handed over the responsibility of patrolling the entire mountain to him. Thus, it could be seen how much trust he had in him.
The Iron Cauldron had been paying attention to the expressions of the two elders the entire time. The Great Elder was silent. He could also see the resentment that the Second Elder had towards Wild Hammer. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: "Could it be that the Third Elder's actions did not get the consent of the Second Elder?" When he thought about the two elders who had been secretly murdered in the heavily guarded Moradin City, the next thought that popped into his mind made him jump in fright! However, looking at the pleased Karov, he became more and more sure of his conjecture, even if he suspected the Third Elder who always had a good opinion of him. That was, Crazy Hammer had betrayed them! They had colluded with outsiders in order to seize the power of the dwarves!
Thinking about this, he immediately shouted: "Third elder! You said that you were forming an alliance with the Kaiser Empire for the sake of the Dwarves' future, but I remember that the Grand Elder had once flatly refused Kaiser's suggestion. The reason is that once an alliance is formed, Kaiser won't just ask us to supply them with weapons, armors, and other military materials. If the Dwarves were to intervene, then perhaps the Elves, Dragons, and other races would not be able to sit still. That way, it would form a vicious cycle, which could lead to the participation of all the races on the continent! At that time, it will not only be a war between humans, but also a great calamity that will sweep across the entire continent! "
As soon as these words were spoken, he poured a bucket of cold water on the Dwarves who were still in a feverish state. When everyone thought about it carefully, it was indeed possible for the situation he mentioned to appear. Karov raised his eyebrows and just sneered. Mad Hammer's expression changed and shouted: "Iron Cauldron! I haven't even settled the score with you about the attack on the two elders, how dare you slander our esteemed ally? Someone, arrest him! " The dwarves looked at each other in dismay. The Iron Cauldron was extremely popular, so they immediately wanted to take action against him. None of them wanted to do so. Karov threw a glance at Crane, he must suppress the sound of resistance, or the rest would be very troublesome.
