After receiving Sui Xiong's affirmative reply, the God of Runes hurried away with joy, apparently to rush back to the "Eternal Mountain", the kingdom of the dwarven gods, to discuss cooperation with the rest of the gods. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is a sign of sincerity, and Sui Xiong is very happy.

But when he thought about it, he wondered a little - what was the value of this iron armor that could resist the Great Splitting Technique, and it was worth the dwarven gods to jump out on the cusp of this storm and cooperate with him?

The so-called internal affairs do not decide to ask Baidu, foreign affairs do not decide to ask Google, Sui Xiong now has neither Baidu nor Google, but he knows some well-informed friends.

Those who live a long time and see a lot are the god of the water element, and those who have many friends and are knowledgeable are the gods of pleasure.

This matter seems to have nothing to do with history, so it is natural to find Viye, the god of pleasure who has many friends.

Weiye listened carefully to Sui Xiong's narration, and specially asked about some details, nodded as he listened, and finally laughed.

"No problem. He said, "My friend, the dwarves are sincere and their need for a new type of armor like yours is unquestionable. ”

"But why?"

"That's a long story. Viyer smiled and conjured up the table, chair and barware, filling each other with wine, "We can talk while we drink." ”

Here's the thing: as a brave race, dwarves are very powerful. However, due to their poor talent in magic control, this clan has always been very lacking in the realm of spellcasters. As we all know, in wars, especially large-scale wars, spellcasters are indispensable. To put it more seriously, an army that lacks sufficient caster support will be fatally flawed in the face of high-intensity warfare.

In order to solve this problem, the dwarves have come up with an interesting idea - we can't get a large number of spellcasters to emerge among our people, so let's study how to fight the spellcasters!

Based on this line of thinking, they eventually researched a special class, the Dwarven Spellbreaker.

This is a kind of rune mage, wearing heavy armor, the armor has undergone special processing, has a strong resistance to spells, and they themselves also have a certain ability to cast spells, and at critical moments they can rely on runes to cast several of the most important spells, which is basically enough to deal with various situations.

With the help of rune spells, once the dwarven spellbreakers are on the battlefield, they will rush into the enemy formation with the roar of a tiger descending the mountain, disrupting the enemy's formation. Or they will strike directly at the enemy's caster troops, so that even if the casters are lucky enough to escape, they will no longer want to help their comrades, thus dragging each other into a situation where they have no spell support.

In this case, the dwarves are not afraid of any enemies!

But the Dwarven Spellbreaker also has their fatal wounds, that is, they can't resist the Great Cleavage.

It is true that the Great Cracking Technique is a high-level spell, and those who can cast this spell are at least high-level mages, and in mid-to-low-level battles, there is no need to worry about this.

But...... In mid- and low-level battles, there was no need to dispatch dwarven spellbreakers. Once this rare class is dispatched in terms of "ten", it will definitely be a key battle.

In such a crucial battle, it is definitely not difficult for the enemy to gather a few high-level mages and perform more than a dozen Great Cracking Techniques.

Grand Cleavage can be used either on a single entity to increase its power or on an area of effect to create a powerful spell area. For the spellbreakers wearing magical heavy armor, if they are directly hit by a Great Split, they will naturally die directly, even if they only stay within the range of the Great Cleavage for a few seconds, it will be a huge loss - they themselves can probably resist the damage of the Great Cleavage with their strong physique and divine blessing, because this spell is not very damaging to creatures, but their armor is not good, and the special armor that is enough to resist most spells will be completely damaged and fall apart.

The dwarven spellbreakers without armor are nothing more than a group of powerful warriors who have also cultivated rune mages, and even worse, they will be unarmed, whether it is runes or weapons, they will be destroyed by the Great Splitting Technique.

The Dwarven Kingdom is located in the middle of the Broken Cloud Mountains, bordering the Eagle Kingdom, the Duchy of Griffons, the Land of a Thousand Springs, and the Ancient Forest. In the past, they fought with the elves in a series of battles, and then the elves declined, and they fought with the humans who came from behind. In previous wars, the dwarven lawbreakers have made great achievements, but they have also suffered heavy losses. After each sortie, there is not one in ten who can come back alive.

To make matters worse, as magic technology improves, so does the difficulty of the Great Split. In the past, only close to the legendary level mages could cast this spell, but now because of the needs of war, this spell is constantly being studied, and in the land of a thousand springs, there has been a special magic circle and magic weapon, so that mages who have just stepped into the legendary realm can also successfully cast this spell.

With the "popularity" of the Great Split, the Dwarven Kingdom has been losing ground on high-end battlefields. Their warriors are brave, they are not afraid of enemies and sacrifices, but courage alone is not enough, in the past hundred years, the territory of the dwarf kingdom has been captured by the country of a thousand springs, and the dwarven warriors who have died because of this are countless.

Shortly before Sui Xiong landed, the Dwarven Kingdom fought a fierce battle with the Land of Thousand Springs. The dwarves were defeated, and even the current dwarven king died on the battlefield - he himself was a dwarven spellbreaker, and at the most critical moment of the battle, he led more than twenty spellbreakers to charge together, trying to break through the mage group of the country of a thousand springs, but died under the Great Split.

In fact, if it weren't for the turmoil in the main plane over the years, the country of a thousand springs would have already launched another attack on the Broken Cloud Mountain Range.

Anyway, their expansion goals were nothing more than two directions, either the Broken Cloud Mountains or the Ancient Forest. The former needs to fight dwarves, and the latter needs to fight elves, and for humans, it's all about the same.

The dwarven gods were naturally worried about this, but there was nothing they could do. It is true that they can send down more divine graces and promote more priests and holy warriors, but the talents of the dwarves are there, and the competition of the caster team is absolutely impossible to beat the humans.

They could also try to roll up their sleeves and go down for themselves, but that would have to face the human gods. Not to mention anything else, in the face of the former God of Vengeance and the current Lord of Radiance, none of them are sure that they will be able to resist any of them.

In this way, the last option left for the dwarven gods was to leave the main plane with their people who believed in them and migrate to other worlds. Like many races that have been defeated in the battle for hegemony in the main plane, it is not a bad idea to find a world far away from the main plane to live in peace and silently **** wounds.

However, that would mean that their people would lose the privilege of the main plane - among other things, research has long proven that if the main plane races settle in other planes, not only will their fertility be greatly reduced, but their populations will also slowly deteriorate.

In other words, moving away is tantamount to chronic suicide.

Of course, the situation in the Dwarven Kingdom has not yet reached the most critical moment, relying on the geographical advantages of the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, they can still entangle with the Land of Thousand Springs for a while, maybe hundreds of years, maybe thousands of years...... However, if the problem of not being able to fight the Great Cleavage cannot be solved, it is nothing more than early death and late death.

Perhaps the dwarves could also learn from the gnomes, abandon the state, and scatter their races throughout the main plane. But it doesn't fit with their culture, with their traditions, with their values. They don't want to do it until the mountains are at their wit's end.

"In this case, they saw this special armor of yours. Wei Ye drank all the wine in the cup, and then picked up the wine bottle, only to find that the bottle was empty, so he had to sigh regretfully, "You can imagine how much they attach importance to this kind of armor that can resist the Great Splitting Technique, make up for the last shortcoming of the Dwarven Spellbreaker, and allow the Dwarf Kingdom to resist the invasion of the Land of Thousand Springs!"

"If you want me to say, the God of Runes only talks about 'cooperation', which is obviously a bit conservative. Perhaps next, the dwarven gods will discuss the design and manufacture of this armor with you in detail, and finally complete some samples...... After the sample is completed and the performance is confirmed, it's time for them to really bet heavily!"

Viye stood up with a smile: "When the time comes, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as 'cooperation'." I guess it's probably an alliance. ”

Sui Xiong thought about it and couldn't help frowning.

Dwarves and humans are at war, and the country of a thousand springs is attacking the Broken Cloud Mountains, and behind it is obvious that the human gods are standing.

Do you really want to support the dwarven gods and make enemies of the human gods?

He hesitated.

Bidding farewell to Weiye, who had run out of wine and talk, Sui Xiong fell into deep thought.

He pondered, weighed, and pondered what he should do.

But he couldn't make up his mind.

After much consideration, he decided to bring the core members of the church together to discuss the matter.

Brainstorming may not be a particularly good idea, but at least it is not particularly bad.

The higher-ups of the Void Masquerade Church received Sui Xiong's oracle and quickly gathered to convene this impromptu meeting.

At the meeting, Sui Xiong explained the cause and effect of this incident in detail, and then asked everyone's opinions.

"It's not worth it. High Priest Leon Igor shook his head first, "The dwarven gods obviously can't beat the human gods, and it's very unwise to offend the human gods in order to win them over. ”

"Actually, it's not impossible. "Your Majesty's strength is enough to bridge the gap between the dwarven gods and the human gods, plus your Majesty's allies...... In this way, the advantages and disadvantages are reversed. ”

"But that's going to come at a big cost. Rod, who was already gray-haired and a little slow to move, said, "What a price!"

Chief Mage Satan smiled, "The cost is not a problem, the question is, is the friendship and alliance of the dwarves worth the price we pay?"

"Actually, it's not bad. For a long time, although Your Majesty is very powerful, whether it is the Void Masquerade Church or the Northwest Republic, we have lacked sufficient deterrence. If you can take advantage of this opportunity to show deterrence, there will be a lot less trouble in the future. "Because of Satan's retreat, Parin, who succeeded him as the head of the mage corps, said.

This statement made many people's eyes shine, and the head of the medical team, Steele, immediately expressed his support. She bluntly said that showing strength is about fighting, and fighting a war not only kills people, but also causes a lot of damage. If you have to fight both horizontally and vertically, instead of fighting at your own doorstep, it is better to go to someone else's house to fight, even if you break something, it will not make people feel distressed.

The Grand Consul of the Republic, Ferex, also agreed with this view, and in order to show his strength, he had to find an opponent to fight. Going to the Broken Cloud Mountains to fight a battle with the Land of Thousand Springs, although the logistical pressure will be relatively great, at least it will not damage the infrastructure of the Republic.

Easter, the chief instructor of espionage who has just joined the inner circle, thinks about the problem from another angle, saying: "Our republic is a country that advocates openness and tolerance. This makes the races of our country's inhabitants very chaotic, whether they are orcs or humans, gnomes or dwarves, even machine people from other worlds, or even monsters...... With good intentions, we welcome him to our country as our brother and sister. This kind of national policy is in conflict with the guiding ideology of the human race, the dwarf race, and even any race on the continent. So I think we should help those who are relatively weak to create a positive image of us. As for those powerful races...... Anyway, contradictions between each other are inevitable, and even if we compromise and retreat now, will we really have to change our national policy in the future to cater to their preferences?"

This statement made many people fall into deep thought, and even Sui Xiong didn't take this aspect into account, and everyone was thinking silently for a while.

After a while, Leon sighed and said, "Helping the weak against the strong will pay a big price, really, big, big. I'll admit you're right, even if we don't help the dwarves, sooner or later we will pose a threat to the Republic as the human gods gradually form a hegemony. But...... At least there are orcs in front of us, we don't need to be in such a hurry to pay the price!"

"It's a good time. "Pay the price now, and the cost will be relatively small." ”

"You have been talking for a long time, and I don't understand it very well. Kasally Riley, the first beauty on the East Coast, who is privately called "vase" by many people, asked in distress, "In general, you are going to help the dwarves go to war against the land of a thousand springs, right? ”

There is a lot of discussion about this issue, and there is no consensus.

At this point, Gerald stood up.

"What do you get, you ask? In my opinion, the most important thing is to get kindness and justice!" said the first believer of Sui Xiong, solemnly, "We all know Your Majesty's character. If He really was a god who only saw profit in his eyes, then most of us would not have had a chance to live until now, and we would not have had a chance to sit here. ”

"Helping the weak, resisting aggression, as beneficiaries of His Majesty's various acts of kindness and justice, what position do we have to question this?"

He turned his head to look at Sui Xiong, clenched his right hand into a fist, and placed it in the position of his heart on his chest.

"Your Majesty, order, for your glory, the Order has no fear!" )
