Chapter 135: The Dwarven Situation

The dim candle flame flickered as the hatch opened, and Green looked at Leopold's departing back, and Green's face was a little hesitant.

Admittedly, the dwarf had reservations, but when he questioned Mary and Lannister, he realized that what he said was at least true.

The Dwarves are a race with a long history. It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, they also established a powerful empire, but with the advent of the magical element and the rise and hegemony of the elves, the dwarven empire has since disappeared into the dust of history.

The three kingdoms of dwarves, which are now located in the north-central part of the Demon Realm Continent, are only the dwarves who later lived in various parts of the continent, and gradually migrated here under the invasion and oppression of humans.

Moria, Thalia and Bavaria.

The three dwarven kingdoms belong to each of the three dwarven tribes: the Warhammer Dwarves, the Copperbeard Dwarves, and the Black Iron Dwarves.

In the Elven Age, the dwarves used to be friends of the elves, and their status was higher than that of humans. But later, because of the arrogance, selfishness, and arrogance of the elves, after the "Battle of the Long Beard", the dwarves have since become allies with humans.

At that time, when the magic element was getting thinner and thinner, the betrayal of a powerful "ally" led to the destruction of the elven empire that had ruled the Demon Continent for tens of thousands of years.

The dwarves shared the dividends of the war, gained large tracts of land, and tried to re-establish their kingdoms. However, the humans who have risen up obviously do not want another force on the continent to compete with them, so they have been secretly obstructing it.

Later, as the truth of the "Battle of the Long Beard" broke...... The elves did not attack the caravans of the dwarves at all, but the humans and some half-elves planned something.

Therefore, due to their different attitudes, the dwarves are inevitably divided into three parts.

Located in the eastern part of the Rhine Kingdom and in constant communication with humans, Thalia decided to continue to maintain good relations with the Terrans.

Located to the east of Talia and west of the Iron Ridge Mountains, Bavaria, which borders the Everfree Forest, has chosen to re-establish an alliance with the Elves.

Moriah, who is located at the top of the "Pin" glyph and is close to the Sea of the North Wind, chooses neutrality and is insensitive to all the aliens.

This state of affairs is exactly what human expectation, so it has been maintained all these years.

Leopold was born in the kingdom of Moria, which was most estranged from the races.

As a prince of Moria, he has always had a strong interest in and an attitude of learning from people. The dwarves, though simple and loyal, disdain to deceive and lie, are too stubborn and inflexible...... And what the dwarves need most of all is flexibility.

So he went to Thalia incognito when he was young, and also made friends with Talia's former prince and current king Thorin, but later because of the exposure of his identity, he was not only forced to resign from the position of Hand of the King, but also fell into the hands of human slave merchants.

And then the rest goes without saying, and Green already knows it.

According to the plan, they came to the dwarven kingdom this time, not only for the sake of shipbuilding, but also to establish trade relations with the dwarves.

The development of industry requires a variety of large quantities of raw materials, and the dwarven kingdom located in the middle of the mountains, rich in various minerals, is obviously a good object. And more importantly, because of the problem of faith, the dwarves do not have the same aversion to dragons as the humans on the Demon Continent.

So will choosing a dwarf have the desired effect? Green turned his head to one side...... Mary, who has been a queen, obviously has a better overall view than herself, who was born in Dick.

"We can look at this as a political investment. Mary crossed her hands and placed her hands on the table.

As Moria's prince and fiancΓ© of Princess Margaery, the Iron Rose of Bavaria, Leopold had a strong network and background...... He is probably the most promising person in the history of the Dwarves to unify the Dwarven kingdom - all if he becomes King of Moria, of course. ”

At this point, Mary glanced at Green, who was sitting solemnly like a schoolboy, and continued with a secret curl of the corners of her mouth, "We need an ally who can speak on the mainland...... Because of different beliefs and unequal strengths, it is clear that the nations of mankind will not approve of our ideas...... As for the elves, they are already too busy to take care of themselves, so the dwarves are our best and only choice. ”

"So, are we going to find a way to help Leopold become King of Moria?" Grimm scratched his chin.

Although Leopold's father has always been in poor health and may go to see the King of the Hill at any time, because the relationship between the two has not been harmonious, even though he is the eldest prince of Moria, Green feels that the hope of succeeding the king is a little hanging.

Could it be a rebellion? Green tugged at the corners of his mouth, which was unlikely for a dwarf.

"Your Excellency, we have found something strange. ”

Just as Green was about to discuss it with Mary in depth, Klee knocked on the door and walked in.

......

A large oak barrel with a rudder at the end, a fish-like shell on the head, four oars attached to the sides of the barrel and a raised square porthole in the upper part of the barrel.

Submarine?Diving Barrel?

Green looked at the dwarf who was crawling out of the top of the porthole, and couldn't help blinking: It seems that there is obviously more than one race of goblins in this world who can make black technology!

"Otto! Heinrich!"

"Your Royal Highness!"

Green waved his hand, the Marines put down their guns, and touched the side of the Flying at night, and there was no need to expose themselves unless they were going to make contact.

Green looked at the diving bucket of five dwarves and one dwarf drilled out again, and couldn't help but touch his chin, do you need to train everyone how to anti-submarine?

The dwarves and gnomes were very cautious when they boarded the ship, and when they saw the stinging dragons walking around on the deck, they tightened their weapons in their hands even more vigilantly, even though Green told them that there was no danger, they did not relax.

Green shrugged his shoulders and stepped aside, leaving them time to catch up.

......

After about half an hour, Leopold, with a heavy face, pushed open the door to the captain's cabin.

"Chief, I need your help. ”

Green and Mary looked at each other, then asked, "What happened?"

"My father has died!"

Green's heart thumped.

Doesn't this mean that Moria's throne has already been inherited?

"My brother Leo has inherited the throne, but the promise I made is still valid. Lord, if you help me get back to Moria, I promise to convince my brother. ”

"Moria is in a very bad situation right now... The Duchy of Tulip took advantage of the funeral for my father, the emptiness inside the port of Orlante, to occupy this harbor. My brother has led several counterattacks, but because of the shortage of weapons and ammunition, and because they have blocked Tower Bridge with warships, they have not been able to regain the lost ground. ”

"Chief, I need some weapons and gunpowder from you. ”
