"Wow!" the dagger was thrown onto the plank, trembling and reverberating as it pierced the map above. The originally warm tent instantly fell silent, only because the figure at the door was much shorter than ordinary people. The corners of Andre's eyes were raised, and the hot breath from his nose caused his beard to flutter with it. The dwarven lord had an awe-inspiring aura even without the warhammer, and he looked at the soldiers in the tent, most of whom were staff officers in leather armor, and walked slowly into it.

"Who told you to plot your march?" said the Grand Duke of Hammer's loud voice with a hint of questioning at all times. Despite the heavy bandages on his body, judging by his voice, his body was fine.

The staff officers lowered their heads, not daring to answer the dwarf's question, they were not familiar with Andrei's style of acting, and they could not tell whether the question just now simply needed an answer or was a bait with a purpose. It was rumored that the Grand Duke would smash his disobedient men into meat and feed them to the dogs. For those who are not part of the Hammer Lord, André and his men's fierce style is often misinterpreted as rude and savage. This also caused this army from the royal capital to have a lot of trouble when helping the refugees of the molten iron.

"Ahh The staff officers' heads were lower, and they were unhappy with the dwarves' insulting language, but given that the daggers were within the reach of the latter, no one wanted to risk being pierced like a map.

"Don't embarrass them. That's what I meant. The Iron Knight's voice was as warm as a spring breeze to most of the people in the tent. Atticus opened the curtain and entered, and immediately a chair was brought and asked to sit down. The Grand Knight did sit down, not out of arrogance or fatigue, but because he knew that it was necessary to be consistent when talking to the dwarves, especially in front of André Hammer.

"Hah! I see! Our faithful Grand Knight always does the king's orders unconditionally, doesn't he? He told you to go north and you plan the route, so what's next?, hang me up and roast me according to the rat-man hunting law of the Rausch?" the angry dwarf roared, his nose turning red with excitement.

"Andre, Andre..." Atticus rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, he knew that the dwarf was not angry with him, but as the supreme leader of the royal capital, someone had to try to appease the irascible dwarf, "You guys go out first." With a wave of his hand, the Iron Knight motioned for the rest of the tent to leave, and the staff officers fled in a hurry as if they had been granted amnesty. As for the guards in charge of security, they were slightly hesitant. "He's the Duke of the Lion!Lord of the Hammer!" The guards craned their necks at the Grand Knight's rebuke, and rushed out in embarrassment.

"Ha, Duke of the Greylion, Lord of the Hammer. The dwarf repeated Atticus's words, a disdainful smile on his lips, "They don't think so. I'm just a grumpy dwarf in their eyes! Atticus, look what you've brought! Are these bastards with a string of names worth a warrior other than a title of nobility? If my army were still around, it would only take fifty men to turn all this piece of waste into dead!"

"Ahh There was a rare look of exhaustion on his face, a situation that was almost impossible for anyone else to see, and the Iron Knight was supposed to refer to Atticus's ability to complete tasks as calmly and efficiently as steel, no matter what situation he was in. "I know what you're angry about, Andre. ”

The Grand Knight did know that there were three reasons why the dwarves' anger was so high. First, dissatisfaction with the Nezumi Act and the order to send troops north. These two orders were not only for Andrei, but even for Atticus, who looked at Sigget, was shocked, and he could not understand why the king threw these two orders at this time. After all, they serve no purpose other than to exacerbate the contradictions and make the situation more chaotic for the blue lion.

Second, dissatisfaction with the royal capital's reinforcements. As a frontier region, the Molten Iron People, including their lords, have become accustomed to a straightforward approach due to their long war with nomads. This caused them to have quite a bit of friction with the soldiers who came from the royal capital, especially since most of the Hammerlord residents had some criminal records on their heads, and the glory of the king and the lion that the soldiers talked about seemed like a joke to the Hammermen. The hammer is not the hammer of the glasion, it has only one owner, the lord of the land, the lord of the land, the lord of the hammer. This belief is quite common in molten iron, and the only reason why these people who were once abandoned by the kingdom can barely recognize their nationality is because of Andrei's allegiance to the royal family of the blue lion.

Thirdly, Andrei was dissatisfied with Atticus' attitude towards the elves. The elven forces, led by Mloth and Atwood, did help the survivors of the molten iron survive, and although the dwarves were reluctant to admit it on the surface, they still appreciated it in their hearts. However, as soon as the army from the royal capital arrived, they demanded that the elves leave the border of the blue lion with great arrogance, and even though the elven elders said that the operation was invited by the blood lion Leon, the staff members still refused to accept the elves' help. After all, because of his background, Blood Lion, the next Grand Knight Chief, was not loved among the nobles of the kingdom. And just when André thought that Atticus would not allow the short-sighted little ones to do so, the Iron Knight chose to remain silent.

Naturally, the Grand Knight had his own considerations, and while he was overjoyed to learn that Leon was still alive, Atticus had to think more about things other than the war. Only a small number of these soldiers who followed him were loyal to the direct force of the royal family, and many more were armed forces under the major nobles, which made it necessary for the Iron Knight to show importance to them when making decisions, both out of respect for the nobles and to protect the interests of the royal family.

The dwarves don't care about these so-called political purposes, and they don't like those who dictate to his people. Under the influence of a much longer lifespan than humans, the dwarves themselves did not recognize the so-called noble nobles by nature, and they believed that only a young dwarf could be worthy of bearing the family name if they had done enough to prove themselves. This view of ability priority is also the main reason why the Hammer Leader has been able to develop rapidly in just over a decade.

"You know what I'm angry about, but you don't have any intention of making me angry. Andre turned his head to look at the valley city marked on the map, "At this time, if I don't have so many people to take care of, I will personally rush back to the royal capital to ask that fool what he is thinking!"

"No need. The Iron Knight's expression became heavy, and his next words quieted the dwarf, "Your Majesty is dead. ”

"You say, what?"
