Rewind time to three days ago, after the end of the drama of the Battle of Bergen, the noise in the dwarven tribal alliance disappeared in an instant - the dwarves were still waiting for the Norwegians to divide the victory and defeat themselves, and then to join the alliance with the victors, and continue to fight in the British Isles and take revenge. However, looking at it again, the Norwegians' own civil strife does not know how long and what month it will be. How good is that?

When it comes to prowess and armament, the power of the alliance of dwarven tribes is definitely not inferior to Norway. But -- and most importantly -- these slag guys who have been dealing with mountain mines all their lives are landlubbers. I don't know how to swim at all, shipbuilding and other careers. The British Isles are separated from Scandinavia by a North Sea. Even if the dwarves have great abilities, they can't use them at all.

That's why we can only unite with Norway.

But now, the dwarves sadly find that the allies they are looking for are completely gone. The dwarves were completely panicked, and some of the fellows who liked hindsight lamented, saying, "If we had agreed to Count Felix's request and supported him a little earlier, perhaps this fellow would have been victorious." That's good......

As a result, a group of dwarven elders who adhered to tradition and did not meddle in the internal affairs of the human race fell into the wilderness amid the shouting and scolding. The newly appointed Young Dwarven Elders, plus the newly elected Young Dwarven King, decided to pursue a more aggressive diplomatic strategy: support the fastest nobles in Norway who could obtain the position of Grand Duke of Norway, unify Norway as soon as possible, and then send troops to the British Isles as soon as possible.

This is the reason why the dwarven emissaries arrived at Biard. Because after careful study, this power, which is one of the best in name (Egil's mouth) and in strength (obtained by cheating by the system), should be the most likely to unify Norway.

Although the earl of Biard is a scumbag (dwarf king), there is nothing to be done, he is our best choice, everyone.

However, although the dwarven side has adopted a so-called "aggressive" diplomatic strategy, the so-called bottom line and frugality still exist. If we do not send troops, we must not send troops to intervene, and we must not send troops in any form.

Therefore, all the dwarves can provide is money, materials and technology.

That is to say...... Are you willing to provide me with 6,000 gold coins, 500 sets of dwarven refined chain mail, and some dwarven forging knowledge free of charge?!"

Egir listened to the declaration of the dwarven messengers, and almost closed his mouth in surprise. This, this pie in the sky, that's it. Are these dwarves funny? Send money, equipment, and technology. Is there really such a good thing in your sister's world?!

There must be some conspiracy, right? Egil is the heart of others. Such a sinister thought.

"Yes - no, not gratuitous - after this you will unite the whole of Norway as soon as possible. And after the unification of Norway, we must send enough soldiers to join us on an expedition to the British Isles. The dwarf said.

...... Is this really your sister's so-called condition?

So, in April of the new millennium, a group of big Kaizi came to Biard. Not only send money, equipment, and technology. I also have to send troops to help you expand your territory.

"That...... I'm sorry about this, everyone. Anyway, I'm a peace-loving person. I'm not really interested in expanding outward or anything. Uniting Norway and making my people happy and prosperous is my ultimate ideal...... And, even without the support of the dwarven tribes, I think I could have done it. As for expanding outward...... This kind of very yellow and violent thing, why don't you find someone else? The Queen of Denmark in the south is a good candidate. ”

"Cut, that - all you want is to unify the North. She even thought of asking us dwarves to be her vassals. How could we possibly ally with her?"

"So, what about King Gustav of Sweden?"

"That guy is fighting the Rus' to the east. Didn't bother with us. ”

"Oh...... So—"

Needless to say, the words of others are even more unreliable, and besides, no one in all of Northern Europe knows that you Vikings are seafaring. And we've always worked with you before. ”

"But I really don't want to play England. If you think about it, the first Grand Duke and your former kings have all explained there. Aren't we going to deliver food again?"

"Well, you don't have to worry. In fact, if it weren't for our lack of seamanship, we would have won the battle ourselves. ”

Che, but quite confident. Seeing that the three-headed dwarf in front of him was holding a beer belly, and the broken gong shouted loudly. Egil pursed his lips, a smile on his face that flickered.

"So what if I lend you ships and help you master the art of seamanship?"

Several dwarven envoys were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly shook their heads and waved their hands to refuse. It made Egil a little weird.

However, I must have suffered a loss on the sea.

Seeing that the earl on the opposite side did not want to attack England, the dwarven envoy gritted his teeth and had to increase his chips according to the orders of the elders.

"Well, let's discuss it again, if you agree to our terms. We'll give you even more support - a total of 500 dwarven sabers, 3,000 spears, 2,000 shields, and more dwarven forging skills and 10,000 gold coins. ”

Oh, you can't bargain for a deal - but these dwarves are too careless. In this way, his hole cards are revealed.

“...... Still not satisfied. Isn't this guy satisfied?Damn, how greedy is he?!" Seeing that the Lord Count Egil on the other side still didn't speak, the dwarven messenger was anxious: "At most, I'll spare you a soft armor lined with soft armor." Couldn't be more. ”

"Lined with soft armor, what is that?" asked Egil.

Hearing Egil's inquiring tone, the Dwarven Emissary lifted his spirits and began to introduce one of the dwarves' outstanding inventions in defense. In fact, this thing is slightly similar to the golden silk soft armor in the legend of the Celestial Empire, which is also made of wire, silk, and hair threads, and can be worn inside. At most, it's a little stronger, a little more well-made.

"Personal safety +3, health +2 good health items, don't you want it?" At this time, the voice of the system elf suddenly sounded. Egir's heart was shocked, but he remained silent on the surface, tapping his fingers on the table without saying a word. Across from him, several dwarven emissaries looked at him with trepidation as if they were waiting for the Last Judgment, thinking to themselves, "I don't have anything to trade anymore, really, can this guy agree?" ”

After knocking on the table for a long time, I saw that the dwarf opposite did not increase the price again. Egil knew that the other party had been almost squeezed by himself. At this time, you should accept it as soon as you see it. It is necessary to decisively settle this matter.

"I see. Egil sighed softly, then stood up, and the hearts of several dwarven emissaries on the other side also raised their throats: "After all, I'm still a Viking." He smiled self-deprecatingly, and then Egir drew his saber and slashed off the leg of the table in front of him. Several dwarven messengers on the other side were shocked, but they didn't know what the count was doing.

"Today, I have made a covenant with the dwarven clan here, and I have become an ally, and I will never abandon it. God will punish you for breaking this oath!"

After hearing Egil's words, several dwarven messengers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and also swore in the name of their own tribe's gods. In this way, the covenant was formalized.

"Wait a minute, stay in the city for a while, and then I will use the stamp when the official covenant is written. How about a few more to take it back?"

"Well, indeed, such a big thing must not be sloppy. The dwarven messenger nodded, "But how about we send back one of the gifts that were all the gifts stipulated in the covenant?"

"It couldn't be better. Egil nodded yes.

So, he sent away this group of dwarven messengers who had been wronged. After making sure that these guys had gone away, Egil couldn't hold back a "plop" anymore, ahahahaha...... laughed. And the officials and knights of the guards who stood beside him also laughed along with their own lords.

Five days later, the dwarven messengers returned satisfied, with the covenant drawn up by Egil's judges. And Egil has also reaped a lot of benefits.

Those 10,000 gold coins may seem like a considerable amount of money to the dwarves. But Egil didn't really care. It's just an add-on. What he really cared about was the weapons and armor that the dwarves had sent them, as well as the more important technologies - the dwarves who had meowed a mick had a trick on this, and sent a lot of parchment scrolls, still in their dwarven script. And it doesn't seem to mean to translate.

But Egil didn't care, the system wizard said that as long as there was a written record - whatever the text - the system could directly turn it into technology.

A total of 500 pairs of dwarven precision crafted heavy chain mail, with steel helmets, the key parts of these heavy chain mail are also specially reinforced with steel sheets, and the material is also quenched steel, the defense is quite amazing. However, it weighs about the same as the heavy chain mail commonly used by humans. Similarly, the sabers, spears and shields provided by the dwarves are all good. The kind that money can't buy.

Compared with these objects, the dwarven technology moved Egir to tears - among his basic technologies, forging and mechanical engineering directly rose to the fifth level, and in terms of people's livelihood, heavy ploughing and refined agricultural tools made agricultural income rise again. Blast furnaces and coke firing have increased the output of iron smelting and pottery workshops. On the military side, the tomahawk, heavy tower shield, fine saber and super long spear are also officially unlocked. When you move up the barracks, you'll be able to recruit more types of troops.

The dwarven visit made Egil happy for days. And he couldn't wait to recruit five teams of Viking soldiers with a team of 300 people, and then waited until the ballista workshop was completed, a total of fifteen ballistas were manufactured, and the total number had swelled to nearly 5,000 Biard troops, leaving all the town patrols and a crossbow militia and a team of Viking soldiers. Nearly 4,000 troops still dismantled the ballistas into parts and loaded them on wagons, and marched mightily towards Bergen......
