Chapter 7: Haze

Silveraxe St. Louis is heading towards the hall of the Patriarch of House. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIt was the middle of the night, and there was still about a half before the sun rose, and the ruler of the house, Snowhammer Spanor, had just given the order to urgently convene a meeting of the chiefs. St. Louis, who was asleep, was woken up by the attendant Muller, and after learning the news, St. Louis had already thought of such an urgent reason, so he quickly dressed and ordered Mary Nicki to be awakened, and the two hurried towards the hall of the patriarch.

Late at night in House, the miners are no longer busy working, but falling asleep. The patriarch's hall in the middle of the night also has no sense of busyness during the day, although the house built in the interior of the Doluo Mountains has never seen the sky or the sun, but the habits of the house people are still the same as those of most cities in the Yaluo continent.

When the guards of the patriarch's hall saw Silveraxe St. Louis, they hurriedly saluted him, and opened the heavy stone door of the patriarch's hall, St. Louis and Nicki immediately walked into the patriarch's hall, and there were some housed dwarven warriors and some important people of the Snowhammer family who were talking to each other in the patriarch's hall, and after they saw Saint Louis, they all nodded, and they continued to discuss something, St. Louis and Nicki did not make any stop here, they entered the patriarch's meeting hall directly.

"No, no, no! Those people are unreliable!"

As soon as St. Louis and Nicki entered the chamber, they saw Heta Barbossa yelling at Snowhammer Spano, and Barbossa's face was flushed, apparently because he had a big dispute with Spanno over some issue.

"This is not just a disaster for the Docdos, it will be a disaster for the entire snowy region of the Far North. ā€

Snowhammer Spanno seemed very calm, because in the back of his mind, he had clearly made a decision.

Silver Axe St. Louis looked at Spano and then at Barbossa, he had understood the content of the meeting before he came, but he didn't know what the situation was, he had just heard Spano mention Docdos, and St. Louis knew that the news he was about to get must be very bad.

Snowhammer Spanor turned to Silveraxe St. Louis, who was unusually quiet, staring at Spanor without saying a word, while Spanno sighed deeply.

"Our scouts are back, and there's only one ......"

"What's the situation?"

"At the foot of the Great Snow Mountain in Garamar, a group of goblins gathered, and it is reported that the total number is tens of thousands ......"

Spano frowned, he was looking at St. Louis, watching St. Louis' reaction.

When St. Louis heard the number of goblins, he was stunned.

"How is that possible? In the snowy regions of the far north, I have never heard of the gathering of tens of thousands of goblins! How did these guys get together?"

In fact, not only in the snowy region of the far north, but also in the entire Yarrow continent, it is rare to hear that tens of thousands of goblins have gathered somewhere. Goblins are an evil creature, they usually live in tribes, generally each tribe will have one or two hundred members, goblins have treacherous personalities, cruel and murderous, but they are never a brave race, in the face of powerful warriors, these disgusting guys usually run far away, and goblins have always been selfish, their tribes never have any friendly exchanges between each other, only fight with each other, kill.

"It's said to be a human mage, and this human mage has somehow summoned these goblins. ā€

Starshield Hulk spoke, frowning and looking very anxious.

"Do you know Ares, the Beastmaster?"

Barbosa interjected to ask St. Louis.

St. Louis squinted his eyes and thought about the name, a familiar name that he just couldn't remember for a moment.

"Ahh

"The orc mercenary who often roams the Ice Alliance?"

According to our scouts, Ares' mercenary team, along with two other ruthless mercenary teams, has joined the human mage's banner. ā€

Barbossa was obviously helpless and uneasy, because the Beastmaster Ares was known as the most cruel and cunning orc mercenary in the entire Arctic Snowy Region, and he was a destructive fellow.

"As far as I know, Ares is a cruel and conceited lion orc, how could he work under the hands of a human mage?"

St. Louis also felt bad about Ares' intervention, so many goblins were difficult enough to deal with, if you add this terrible mercenary, then the Ice Alliance is really in a big crisis.

Snowhammer Spano looked at the map on the round table, at the location of the Great Snow Mountain of Garamar on the map, and was silent, because the answer to the question asked by St. Louis was obvious, and only a very large profit could drive Ares, a cruel orc, to his advantage. Spanor stared at the map, at the map of the snowy Far North, lost in thought, he had so much to think about now, because he knew that a cruel war was about to break out.

"What is the situation on the other side of Docdos, does Lord Makarov know the current situation?"

Nicki spoke suddenly, and when Nicki heard about the current situation, Nicki thought of this, which she had never had a chance to ask. You must know that the Garamar Snow Mountain is not far from Docdos, if the war breaks out, Docdos will definitely be the first and most important battlefield, because Docdos is a town with many warriors, and the most important fighting force of the Ice Alliance is almost all from the cultivation of Docdos, if Docdos is captured, then the entire Ice Alliance will also fall into the biggest passive situation.

In fact, for Docdos's side, Hammer Spanor has long thought about it, he firmly believes that the war madness Makarov must have been prepared, after all, he is a very good leader, Spanno plans to send people to Dockdos immediately after the patriarch's meeting, after all, if Docdos falls, the consequences will be unimaginable.

While Snowhammer Spanor was thinking, a dwarven guard came in to report that the messenger of Docdos had arrived at House, and that he was in a hurry to consult with Lord Snowhammer, the leader of House. When everyone heard the news, they all came to the spirit, thinking that there was an action on the side of Docdos Makarov, so Spanno ordered someone to bring the messenger of Docdos into the meeting room, and he told the people in the hall to wait for a while, and then went to the meeting room alone.

After Snowhammer Spanor left, the crowd began to talk to each other, with Darktower Barbossa still expressing the idea that the dwarves should try to protect themselves, while Starshield Hulk still chose to support Snowhammer Spanno's decision as always, Silveraxe St. Louis was silent, and Mary Nicki stood by his side and was silent.

The fireplace on one of the walls of the conference hall was hot, but no one could feel the warmth at all, and everyone's heart felt as if they were pierced by the cold wind on the Brent snowfield.

While everyone was silent, a hearty laugh came from outside the door of the conference hall, and before the laughter could be stopped, Snowhammer Spanno led the two into the conference hall.

"St. Louis, come and meet your old friend!"

Silver Axe St. Louis was slightly stunned, Nicki next to him smiled first, St. Louis looked behind Spano, and two familiar and friendly figures appeared in front of him.

"Hey, Yayadak, Ikaf, my old fellow!"

St. Louis smiled for the first time tonight, he stepped forward and held out his fist to Yayadak and Icaaf, who looked at each other, smiled, and raised their fists in return, and St. Louis laughed again.

After greeting Nicki warmly, as well as Darktower Barbossa and Starshield Hulk, Yayadak and Ikaf began to reveal the purpose of their trip.

"Dockerdos wants to ask House for help, and Makarov orders someone to rush to Oron at the same time, and this crisis is at stake for the entire Ice Alliance. ā€

Yayadak gets straight to the point, Yayadak is not a politician, he is a brave Docdos warrior, but he still mentions the key point, which is that this crisis is not on Docdos's side.

"Is there any news from Makarov?" asked Heta Barbossa.

Barbossa has always disliked humans, he is a racist, and Barbossa has always felt very unconvinced that humans have become the masters of the Ice Alliance.

Ekaf is an experienced man who can see that Heita Barbosa doesn't really want to cooperate.

"Makarov knows, as you know, Lord Snowhammer has already told us, Makarov speculates that the recent anomalies on the Brent snow field are caused by this incident, goblins and orcs began to carry out a large-scale encirclement in the Brent snow field, so that the territory of the ice wolf and the ice ogre was occupied, so they will boldly attack the villages on the Brent snow field. ā€

"Hmph, as if those ice wolves and ice ogres were also victims!"

Heta Barbossa still complained, but he clearly agreed with Makarov's speculation, after all, there had never been such a problem on the Brent snowfield in all these years.

"Is Makarov already on the move, have those goblins launched an offensive against Dockdos?"

Starshield Hulk's question was crucial, as it was about House's dwarves' next move, and Hulk's question caused Snowhammer Spanor to nod, which was exactly what Spanor wanted to ask.

After receiving the scout's report, Makarov began to deploy, because he was convinced that Dockdos would be the first and most important battleground, so he began to dig deep pits around Dockdos, set traps, and have Docdos' warriors patrol the surrounding environment day and night. ā€

Yayadak answered Starshield Hulk's first question, in fact, Snowhammer Spanor was not surprised by Makarov's deployment, because Makaroff was a warrior he respected, and Spanno firmly believed that Makarov's deployment was definitely the most correct.

"Our Docdos patrol has already fought the Goblin Patrol a few times on the Brent Snowfield, and we've beaten them badly, but it's only a skirmish, and with tens of thousands of goblin troops, it's really not something we can easily deal with. ā€

Ikaf added Starshield Hulk's second concern, and several of the dwarves present were lost in thought.

Snowhammer Spanno stared at the map of the snowy regions of the Far North on the round table, silent, but in his heart, he seemed to have made up his mind. Starshield Hulk, Blacktower Barbossa, and Silver Axe St. Louis all looked at Spanor silently, in fact, they had already guessed Spanno's decision, because Spanno was such a person, all they were waiting for was Spanno's opening, and St. Louis's patience was not very strong, but he was also patient.

"We need the dwarves of House! after all, you are the greatest force in the entire Far North!"

Seeing that Snowhammer Spanor was silent, Yayadak couldn't help but speak, in fact, Yayadak is a very stable person, but this time it is about the survival of the entire Dockdos, and even the entire Ice Alliance, which makes him not so calm.

Snowhammer Spano smiled at Yayadak and Ikaaf, brushing his beard.

"We, the dwarves of House, will surely fully support Docdos, don't get me wrong, I'm silent not because I'm thinking about whether or not I should help you, but because I'm thinking about something else. ā€

In response to Snowhammer Spanor's answer, Yayadak and Ikaf looked at each other and smiled, and Starshield Hulk on the side nodded silently but firmly, he absolutely supported Snowhammer Spanor.

And Heta Barbos showed a trace of dissatisfaction, but he was helpless about the result, so he immediately showed a very resolute expression, in fact, in his heart, he had already geared up, hoping to do a big job, for adventure and battle, which snowy dwarf would not like it. As for Silveraxe St. Louis, he made a disdainful look at Snowhammer Spano, and complained that Spano was not speaking happily, but Spano just smiled and ignored St. Louis muttering.

"Lord Snowhammer, you've been staring at the map of the Snowy Arctic North, thinking about what more terrifying deployment the enemy will make against the terrain location of Docdos?"

At this time, Mary Nicki spoke, and she had been silent just now, analyzing the situation before her, and she had guessed exactly what Snowhammer Spanno was contemplating.

"Haha! Nicki still knows me. ā€

Snow Hammer Spano praised Nicky, for Nicky, Spanno has always appreciated and appreciated, although Nicki is a member of the Silver Axe family, but often gives everyone good proposals at the Patriarch Meeting, when Silver Axe St. Louis first took Nicki to the Patriarch Meeting, Darka Barbossa also expressed strong dissatisfaction, he said that a rabbit spirit, how can he be qualified to participate in the Snowy Dwarf Patriarch Meeting, but after Nicki raised a lot of substantive issues in the subsequent meetings, even the always arrogant racist Darktower Barbossa, no longer objected to Nicki participating in the Patriarch's Conference, Barbossa didn't say anything on the surface, in fact, I still admire Nicki very much in my heart.

"That's right, we only know now that the leader of the enemy is a human mage, but we don't know what that mage is called, what kind of spell he practices, I am thinking, if that mage has practiced necromantic spells, then for Docdos, it will be troublesome. Spanno said something that upset him.

"Blackwater Lake!"

Snowhammer Spanor said this, everyone present guessed the reason, and Yayadak and Ikaf were even more frightened by this, the Docdos people know too well the horror of the Blackwater Lake, the legend of the Blackwater Lake, almost the Docdos people have heard a big horror story since childhood, and the adults tell such stories to their children, with only one purpose, that is, to keep everyone away from that terrible place, the Blackwater Lake.

Everyone in the conference hall was silent, the atmosphere was very depressing, Snow Hammer Spanno was still staring at the map of the snowy region of the far north, as if trying to find the best way to deal with it, and the unquenchable fire in the conference hall seemed to be affected by the atmosphere, as if it was flickering and dark. War is inevitable, and now what we have to consider is how to deal with this war and how to minimize casualties, which is what we should consider and must consider.

"Grandma's! Looks! What is there to be silent, since the problem is here, let's solve it! Let's do it! Let's go to Docdos right now, fuck the goddamn goblins! Fuck the orcs! Fuck the human mage! And let that idiot in the Blacktower fuck the fucking blackwater lake or something!"

Silver Axe St. Louis saw such a depressing atmosphere, he couldn't stand it anymore, he was already a person who was not afraid of everything, St. Louis began to shout again, such St. Louis, no one can stop him.

"You idiot, what kind of work do you want, why should I go to deal with the other side of Blackwater Lake!" Heta Barbossa retorted disapprovingly when he heard Silveraxe St. Louis's words.

"Are you scared of this old dog? Haha! Just like you, what about the patriarch of the Heta family?"

Silver Axe St. Louis smirked evilly, and when Blacktower Barbossa heard St. Louis' taunt, he fought back. Silveraxe St. Louis and Heita Barbossa would always taunt each other over various issues, and would always quarrel.

This time, the two quarreled at the right time, because the quarrel instead relieved the oppressive atmosphere in the conference hall, Snowhammer Spanor and Nicki just smiled and watched, Starshield Hulk shook his head helplessly as always, and Yayadak and Ikaf hurriedly persuaded him.

"Alright!

Snowhammer Spano finally spoke, as he saw that Silveraxe St. Louis and Heta Barbossa had begun to grab each other by the collar, while Yayadak and Ikaf each held a dwarf in an attempt to stop them from beating each other.

"What St. Louis said has a point, just worrying is useless, to borrow St. Louis's words, that's his grandmother's!"

With that, Spanno smiled, and everyone present, including Barbossa, laughed, while St. Louis looked up with his head tilted and a smug look on his face.

"So, Starshield Hulk, Heta Barbossa, and Silver Axe St. Louis!

Snowhammer Spanor said this with a majestic air and a sense of pride as a snowy dwarf.

"The snowy dwarves of House, dispatched!"

Starshield Hulk, Blacktower Barbossa, and Silver Axe St. Louis all responded. Under the haze, the great war is coming.
