Chapter 43: The Trick Succeeded
The negotiation went so smoothly that Zhangxiong Gyatso naturally did not think that it was his own Wang Ba Qi who exploded, which made Connell bow his head. Arslen had already sent a piece of information about the inside of the dwarves.
It turned out that there was a problem within the dwarf race, and because of various problems, there was a faint trend of division.
After the death of the old dwarf patriarch, his eldest son Odin took over as the patriarch, and there was no opposition to it, and everything was smooth.
But the dwarves live in the territory of the human race, and those great empires of the human race will not let the alien race be peaceful, and the nature of the human race is that the family is dominant, and they do not want to see the stability of other races. Moreover, Odin, like his father, always tried his best to maintain the independence of his own race, although he was superficially subordinate to the Terrans. Therefore, there are human forces that secretly support the youngest son of the old dwarf patriarch, Balu, and deliberately mix sand with the dwarven race to create contradictions.
Balu, who has the strong support of the Terrans, is naturally ambitious and challenges the position of the patriarch of the eldest brother. The dwarves are like barbarians, there are only hundreds of thousands of people, although the dwarves are infinitely large and infinite, they are natural warriors, but they are also inherently weak in the face of the powerful human race. Over time, some people began to lean towards Baru, but fewer and fewer people supported Odin.
There is no doubt that if this continues, Odin's position will be in jeopardy. Odin was so worried about this that he even thought about moving out of the control of the human race.
It was at this time that Arslen's spies came to the territory of the dwarves and secretly met with Odin. Odin had an idea in his heart, and he specially sent someone to inquire about the situation in the Golden Horde, and unexpectedly knew that in the north, which was not concerned by the human race, the barbarians had quietly risen. Under the command of Zhangxiong Gyatso, not only the barbarians were united, but even the beasts were annexed, and the entire steppe was unified.
Odin found his absolute confidant Cornell, and the two had a secret conversation before making the decision to meet Zhangxiong Gyatso.
Of course, the foundation of the dwarves is prospecting and forging, and even if they want to migrate, the prerequisite is to be able to find mineral deposits in the Majaro Mountains in the north, otherwise nothing can be said.
Therefore, after receiving the warm hospitality of Zhangxiong Gyatso, Connell immediately returned, reported to Odin, and led a dwarven prospecting team of hundreds of people, in the name of publicity, to go to the surrounding mountains to select mineral deposits. Secretly, he made a big circle, secretly crossed the border of the Norton Kingdom, and entered the prairie.
Zhangzhung Gyatso paid enough attention to the arrival of the dwarven prospecting team, not only sending Dechen Ngawang to lead an army of Jiala to protect them, but also sending white elves as guides to assist them in entering the Majaro Mountains.
The dwarves were natural prospectors, and after only a few days of entering the Majaro Mountains, they managed to find a bare peak, and at the foot of the mountain they found iron ore, which was extremely large and abundant. Both the dwarves and the people of the Golden Horde were overjoyed by this, and immediately reported the good news to the Zhangzhung Khan.
When Zhangxiong Gyatso heard the news, he laughed and hurriedly ordered all the Terran craftsmen to be gathered and prepared to be sent to the Gugit Gorge in the Majaro Mountains. The valley there would be his base camp for mining and forging weapons and armor.
Unexpectedly, when Cornell learned of this news, he refused, and even left his people to continue the exploration, and returned to the Golden Horde to meet with Zhangzhung Gyatso in secret.
No one knows what they talked about, but judging by the smile on Zhangzhung Gyatso's face later, it should be a good thing. Naturally, the Terran craftsmen remained, and their future work would be to help repair weapons and armor. As for mining and forging new weapons, it was left to the dwarves.
Instead of returning to the Majaro Mountains, Cornell sneaked back to the dwarven tribe to report secretly to the Odin chief.
The coercion from the Terrans is getting heavier and heavier, and his younger brother Balu can't wait, and it may not be long before he has a showdown with him. And at this moment, there are fewer and fewer people who are still faithfully following him. In the end, Odin gritted his teeth and made a major decision, he summoned his trusted people overnight, and after hard persuasion, many people finally agreed to follow him to migrate, leave the Terran territory, and open up a new world.
After all, it was within the territory of the Terrans, and it was impossible for them to leave with a swagger. In that case, I am afraid that if I don't walk halfway, I will be intercepted.
But as long as it is in the territory of the Terrans, the dwarves can come and go freely. For this reason, Connell, as an envoy, had secret talks with Zhangzhung Gyatso several times, and the two sides agreed on a time to start a secret operation.
Originally, the armies of the Golden Horde were all in the grassland playground, and suddenly, without warning, Zhangxiong Gyatso began to issue orders, gather a large army, and then overwhelmingly pressed towards the border of the Norton Kingdom, looking like a tiger.
Norton VII was taken aback, thinking that the Golden Horde could not bear it and wanted to attack in advance. hurriedly gathered the army, but in the end it was a little hasty, and could only passively defend to the death. The entire northern border, all the castles, were on the lookout, as if a great war would break out at any moment.
This situation naturally attracted the attention of the other kingdoms of the Terran race, and everyone's eyes and attention were on the Golden Horde and the Norton Kingdom.
And in an inconspicuous place, the dwarven Odin patriarch, with less than 100,000 people he could take with him, scattered, day and night, on a long journey, ready to cross the Norton kingdom and enter the savannah.
The dwarves had long been divided within themselves, and the people loyal to Odin and the people loyal to Baru had not had much contact with each other, and had even lived separately. This also gave Odin a good opportunity. When Baru sensed something was wrong a few days later, Odin had already left with his people for several days, leaving behind an empty city.
Balu was so angry that he hurriedly sent people to chase after him, and at the same time asked the Terran empire for help, but the delay was too long, and by the time the Terran empire reacted and gathered a large army to intercept it, it was already too late.
All the attention of the Kingdom of Norton was drawn to the armies of the Golden Horde, and even if any of them sensed the motives of the dwarves, they would not have time to stop them. Moreover, the dwarves are not vegetarians, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, so they can only watch Odin lead his people through their borders and smoothly enter the savannah.
And Zhangxiong Gyatso also at this time, suddenly withdrew his troops, protected the baby-like dwarf race, and slowly retreated and left. In the face of the more than 100,000 elite troops of the Golden Horde, they had nothing to prepare, and they did not dare to make a mistake, so they could only sigh with joy.
For the participation of the dwarves, Zhangxiong Gyatso expressed great enthusiasm, which can be called the welcome of the whole country, and even Zhangxiong Gyatso let Odin and him on an equal footing and accept cheers together.
Odin was still a little apprehensive, after all, he was gambling, even if Zhangxiong Gyatso was arrogant to him at this moment, he could only pinch his nose and admit it, after all, it was impossible for him to return to the territory of the human race.
Fortunately, Zhangxiong Gyatso's performance made him very happy and moved. Although legend has it that Zhangxiong Gyatso was ruthless and ruthless, at least he was a tolerant and generous king to his friends.
Dwarves are born to forge forges, so naturally they don't live in grasslands where there are no mineral deposits. After receiving the hospitality of the Golden Horde, it took half a month for them to continue their journey to the Majaro Mountains, where the dwarves would re-emerge.
