Section 81 Ruling and Preparation (I)
In the days that followed, Solomon made several more trips between Keos and Black Rock.
There will be brave people under the reward, and Max did not disappoint Solomon, and he hired several craftsmen for Solomon who dared to take the manned magic box to the Black Rock plane.
Of course, these craftsmen were far from enough, but with them to guide the construction of the fortress, the situation was much better.
Not to be overly mentioned, except for the arrival of craftsmen, it is more built on the bones of dwarves.
Dwarves died almost every day, some from exhaustion, some by Wolff's unexplained whipping, and some who tried to escape were killed by Tieye's men.
The Stonefist Clan is surprisingly cooperative in this regard, and they understand that they must now rely on Solomon, because the Firebeard Clan will not let them go.
Now the only way out is to cling to the thighs of the aliens and use their great strength to repel the attack of the feud, otherwise the last encounter in the tribe will be repeated.
In contrast, the death of the clansmen and the old patriarch who took the initiative to attack and died under Solomon before could only be put aside temporarily.
Moreover, the status of Tie Ye and others in the Stone Fist Clan is also obtained by the appreciation of foreign people, and the current Stone Fist Clan no longer has the purity of blood, and the only criterion is no longer the tribal bloodline, but the obedience to the alien people.
Obedient, you are the Stonefist clan, you can get basic safety and life support, at least the dwarves of the same kind will not dare to kill you casually.
Aside from having to be at the mercy of the aliens, the dwarves of the annexed clans are not much different from their old lives.
Although the aliens will ask them to provide food, it is not excessive, and they can still provide for it. Wolf only asked for meat, while Solomon and the magicians were very disappointed in the dwarves' cooking, and the only thing they appreciated was the soup they made.
But if you don't obey, your fate will be heaven and earth, and you will be directly turned into slave labor, exhausted and dying in the construction of the fortress, or under the whip, under the spear of the same kind of overseer.
Sometimes the torture from the same kind is more terrible than that of the aliens, because there is some hatred between the clans.
Just like Tieye's subordinates would always find some reason to whip the Firebeard Dwarven slaves every time they supervised them, and they were particularly heavy, and once Inspector Wolf was angry, the living dwarves were property, but the dead were not.
The old class of the dwarves has been broken, and a new class order has been re-established.
At the top, of course, are the aliens, and the life of an alien is worth more than a thousand dwarves.
Then there was Tieye, who was designated by Solomon as the patriarch of the New Stone Fist clan, and below him were the elders of Amu and the leaders of the other small clans that had been annexed, and below that, the original people of the Stone Fist clan were higher than the dwarves of the other small clans.
In the eyes of the dwarves of the Stone Fist Clan, they think that they should first obey the personnel of the alien race.
But it was actually Solomon who did this on purpose, so that the dwarves could keep each other in check and prevent them from uniting in rebellion.
Tieye's clansmen were deliberately raised by half a level and given a little superficial privilege, such as having the right to choose first in front of their own kind when distributing food, and when they also violated the rules of the tribe, the old clansmen of the Stone Fist clan could get a certain amount of relief.
Solomon quietly sowed a divide among the dwarves and sowed the seeds of distrust.
The brutal clan wars have left the dwarves distrustful of each other, but forced to merge together under violence and threats to their lives.
The new Stonefist clan is based on the old Stonefist clan, and Solomon doesn't care how the new clan will blend the differences between the clans.
For example, regarding primitive worship, the Stone Fist clan likes to worship black rocks, believing that some of the black rocks that can be found everywhere on the earth are spiritual, while other clans in the river region have a myriad of primitive worship, some worship lightning, and some worship rivers.
But after being forced to merge into the Stone Fist clan, they should all worship Black Rock, and the dwarves who fused in were certainly unwilling.
In the end, Solomon came out to referee, and he persuaded everyone in a very simple way.
Xiu He cut off the head of one of the dwarves who shouted the loudest, and when the dwarven head with a stunned face turned around on the ground in front of everyone, the dwarven elders present agreed to go back and convince their people.
Of course, Solomon didn't want to help them, but he had to keep a good grip on this hodgepodge of dwarven clans before he could fight the Firebeard Dwarves.
At least for this stage, the Stonefist clan is slightly more reliable than the other dwarven clans, based on their hatred of the Firebeard clan.
And it is not necessarily a good thing to "help" the Stonefist clan in this way, which makes the other dwarves feel deeply unfair.
But in turn, Tieye will cling to the thighs of the aliens even more.
Their power comes from Solomon's bounty, from Wolf's violent support, and Solomon wants to create such a form, or is creating such a form.
The lowest, of course, were the dwarves who had been reduced to slavery, they were slave laborers, they ate the coarsest food, they had endless work, they were tied together by ropes, and their daily work was to dig and carry and pile up repeatedly.
There was no difference between slaves in Solomon's eyes, and if there was a difference, it was between men and women.
However, the vast majority of female dwarves obeyed, and at first there were a few female dwarves who showed Joan of Arc of Faith.
But when they were kicked into the slave herd, and after a night, the other female dwarves changed their minds.
For the next day they had become good examples, and they were all corpses, covered with bruises and traces of the white liquid condensed and withered, and it was hard to imagine what a horrible night these dwarves had spent in the slave camp, and how their fellow of different clans had tormented these poor dwarves.
But such a rule still saw results, and the fortress was built day by day.
Originally, the construction of the fortress could have been further accelerated, but due to a very special request from George, the degree was slowed down a bit later than ideal.
His request was that the rocks used to build the fortress should not be made of the black rocks that were most common on earth.
This somewhat outlandish requirement made the dwarven slaves suffer even more, as the ground was everywhere if black rock was used, and if non-black rock was used, it was possible to dig underground.
Even if you dig underground, there is no guarantee that it will be non-black rock.
Solomon agreed to do this because of a reminder from George that the last time he summoned Golem, it was Black Rock that was used to form Golem's temporary body, but Golem exploded and disintegrated under the attack of the Fireball Technique, but fortunately Golem was in a dwarven formation at that time, which played a role in exacerbating the chaos.
But why is this happening?
George didn't know, but out of caution, he thought that rocks other than black rock should be used as the base material for the construction of the fortress.
As the fortress was nearing completion, Solomon launched a new assault on the Black Rock plane.
Because by this time, due to the construction of the fortress, more than half of the slaves had died, and he needed new slaves.
Although he didn't need to build a fortress, he promised to send slaves to the Free City.
Therefore, he ordered Tieye to lead the Stonefist clan and cooperate with the Wolves to start attacking the dwarven clans beyond the river region, bringing back the captured dwarves as slaves.
During the construction of the fortress, Tieye and his people had to satisfy Solomon, and Solomon had to be prepared for a war with the Firebeard clan sooner or later.
Although Wolf is far stronger than the dwarves, the disadvantage is that Solomon has no way to replenish his troops in a short period of time.
If he wants to summon more orc soldiers in the future, Solomon must also succeed in this dimensional exploration, so that when the wolves go back and brag, more orcs will be willing to come.
Therefore, at a certain time, Solomon must also make good use of the warriors of the dwarven clans that have been conquered.
Otherwise, he would not have spent so much effort and means to strengthen his rule while creating contradictions among them.
Only in this way can a small number of dwarves be safely strengthened and become a combat force that can be used.
For example, the clansmen of Tieye, Solomon carefully selected a hundred strong and powerful ones, of course, this is relative to ordinary dwarves, their strength is above ordinary dwarves, and it is estimated that they can reach the level of first-order creatures in naked.
Solomon melted half of the armor that had been seized from the Firebeard Dwarves and sent it to the Wolves to repair their armor.
Oh, I have to talk about it here, and don't think half is too much, because it is necessary to take into account the stature of the dwarves and the figure of Wolf, the latter is far taller than the Terrans, and the dwarves are far shorter than the Terrans, so in terms of materials, five hundred pairs of dwarven armor melted to repair the wear and tear of the Wolfs' armor, it is really not much.
At that time, there were more than 500 armor left, and Solomon gave all the rest to Tieye, which made the other clan elders very red-eyed and dared to shout in front of Solomon.
So Solomon changed his mind along the way, but the armor was not evenly distributed, but instead, he pulled in other armed dwarves as well, and then selected warriors from among the dwarves based on physical strength, and concentrated on a relatively elite dwarf team, with more than 2,000 people.
This is already the limit, and it is also the result of the integration of the dwarf clans in the river region and the concentration of armed dwarves, originally there should be more in the Stone Fist Clan, and the sum should be able to pass the Firebeard Clan's special team that attacked that day.
However, in the two major defeats, the elite of the Stone Fist clan also lost a lot, and as a result, the elite warriors gathered by the major clans were not as good as the Einsatzgruppen that attacked the Firebeard Clan at the beginning.
However, this cannot be helped, because there is a lack of iron ore in this part of the river basin, and there is no iron ore even underground, which is also the reason for the relative calm here.
As for the 100 carefully selected dwarven warriors, Solomon turned them into an axe throwing brigade.
In addition to the usual hand axes, they are also armed with three specially made axes that can be used for throwing.
In addition, Solomon also racked his brains to add some ways for these dwarves to attack, such as the slingshot, which was inspired by the slingshot he used to play when he was a child before the crossing, which can be made with sturdy bush branches and animal skins and tendons, and projectiles are everywhere, there are black rocks everywhere, and you can use them to hurt people by grabbing some rubble.
Although the power of this slingshot is a little small, it is just right in a certain way.
The power of the slingshot was almost no threat to Wolf, especially now in armor, unless he was hit in the eye.
For ordinary dwarves, it is still a little lethal, especially when the slingshots of the scale are attacked together, it is equivalent to being thrown by rocks.
Not all Firebeard Dwarves have armor, and for those who don't have armor, the Slingshot is a good way to attack.
Thus began Solomon's outward expansion day by day, and when he attacked the dwarven clans beyond the river region, he chose as few clans as he could.
At the same time, the looted materials are converted into combat power, and the attack of the firebeard dwarves is prepared.
