The weight of a person's speech is constantly changing with his strength.

Gavin's initial impression of Giharim was that of an ambitious young man, whose so-called commitment was nothing more than a stepping stone to cooperation with the remnants of the Taysyama Kingdom, and valued the superb forging skills of their spirits race.

At that time, Jiharin may have seen a glimmer of hope in him, but not much, just cooperating with a mind that does not lose money.

Many things are based on normal business and trade cooperation.

But with the restart of Colossus City, the other party still does not forget its original intention, and delegates power to a great extent, which is commendable.

Even Ji Harin, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, was completely moved, a stream of heat flowed in his heart, and he held Gavin's arm heavily, and said loudly: "The great soul forger Moradin testifies to us, from today on, the Iron Clan and the Lord Gavin will always have a brotherhood, your business is our business, no matter how difficult and dangerous the front is, as long as there is a call, we will not hesitate to rush here, if we break the oath, people and gods will abandon together." ”

Dwarf Heavy Promise.

This is not their self-aggrandizement, but is recognized by the intelligent race of Ferron.

As long as it is something they promise, not only will they do their best to keep it, but even those children and grandchildren who teach by word and deed will remember to keep it, and it is not uncommon among dwarves to fulfill their grandfather's promise on their grandson.

This fine tradition was engraved on the souls of their Lord God, Moradin, when he forged them.

So, they are reticent and rarely make promises.

There is a premise in this matter, that the spirit race was not drunk when the promise was made.

If he loses money by believing the promises of a drunken dwarf, and goes to those strong racial theories, he will only provoke ridicule, which is not their dwarf's problem, but his own.

Even they dwarves would not believe the nonsense of a drunken man, and if they were, it was worth believing that the whole world did not know what the chaos had become.

Even more solemn than the dwarven promises were the oaths they made in the name of the dwarven god Moradin.

And Ghishalin did not drink alcohol.

Gavin said solemnly: "This is my honor, from today on, the affairs of the Iron Clan are my affairs, as long as there is a need, I will do my best." ”

"Good, good, good." Giharin applauded, "Then, next, Tarst and Teszet will be handed over to the lord, and you will take them to the Desperate Eastern Regions, so that they can see more of the world and learn more, which will be very helpful for their future." ”

Centuries of exile had taught the dwarven king the art of human politics.

Tasker and Teszet were none other than his two sons, the future kings of the kingdom of Tesyamar.

He placed them next to Gavin to further prove his sincerity, which is the proton commonly used by humans.

If you are rebelling behind your back, you must first consider the safety of your future heir.

"Okay, it just so happens that there is a lack of forging talents around me, and some small things come and go, and it's too troublesome to come back to the patriarch." Gavin readily agreed.

What he values is not their proton effect, but the exchange of feelings.

He was well versed in the history of the future, and clearly knew that the life of the exiled dwarven king in front of him had entered the twilight, and if there was no other means to continue his life, he would die ten years later.

Although his fate may change because of himself, he has to make two preparations to establish a good relationship foundation with the future successor of the Tayser Ama Kingdom.

Jiharin is not without this consideration.

Gavin suddenly remembered something, "If I'm not mistaken, your spirits race has a habit of domesticating wild boars as mounts, including razor boars, called Thunderfang Cavalry. ”

"Yes, we do have this custom, but the lord has confused it, and we dwarves call the tame ferocious boar mounts Thunderfang, so there is a saying that the Thundertooth cavalry.

If you want to tame the razorboar, you must open a special extraordinary advanced class, the Thunder Knight, which perfectly blends the bravery of our dwarves with the ferocity of the razor boar, bursting out with a terrifying frontal charge ability, and the dwarven Thunder Knights who rush out of the mountains in groups will tremble even those giants. ”

"It's just that such a scene, only remembered in the memories of the dwarves and the stone murals, has not appeared in people's field of vision for thousands of years, because the cavalry can only give full play to its greatest advantages in an open place and in a large group."

Among the 5,000 dwarves in Colossus City, there are only a few dozen Thunder Tooth Cavalry, and none of the Thunder Knights have not, and no one has advanced to an advanced class that has no chance to exert their maximum power. ”

"Just because I didn't have it before doesn't mean I won't have it in the future." Gavin comforted, "We can't start from scratch now, I happen to have a group of razorhead boars in captivity over there, and there are no suitable knights yet, all of them have been transferred, the patriarch can draw the right people and arm them, I will pay attention to the collection and acquisition of ferocious boars in the future, and strive to rebuild a world-famous dwarven thunder fury heavy rider in Colossus City." ”

The ferocity of the large magical beast of the Razor Boar was beyond Gavin's expectations, except that Nora barely subdued the Razor Boar King by boiling the eagle.

The scale of the razor boars in captivity at the Vizeme Manor is growing, but there is no one who can tame them, and if they are not careful, they will be seriously injured, and even one of them will be killed directly by the razor boar.

Gavin had to stop taming with brute force and wait for a more appropriate opportunity.

"I didn't expect the lord to have so many treasures in his hands?" Giharin asked in surprise, "I wonder how many razor boars the lord has?" ”

"There should be two or three hundred, so prepare according to the number of two hundred." Gavin's smile had a smug that could not be concealed, "There is no way to estimate the follow-up, I will use those razor wild boars as seeds, and breed with a large number of female wild boars and domestic sows, at least two thousand will be pregnant, and in the next month or two, there will be calves one after another, these hybrids, even if they are not as strong as their parents, they will not be too bad, at least they can be comparable to ferocious wild boars, their growth period is very short, as long as they are carefully raised, two or three years can be of great use." ”

"It's still the lord's long-term vision." Jiharin gave Gavin a thumbs up and said, "This is a profitable deal, if it succeeds, you will get a batch of good mounts, and if you fail, you will have nothing to lose, and you can still slaughter and eat meat." ”

"I think so too, if I can cultivate a larger pig, it will be a good harvest." Gavin finally clapped his head, "The soldiers are selected and handed over to the patriarch, and the equipment and mounts are handed over to me, first pull up the framework of the army, and when you feel that the time is right, you will take the monster forces in the Troll Mountain Range, and I will let the city lord of Shanoba fully cooperate with you." ”

"I'm already looking forward to that day." The wandering dwarven king's pride and fighting spirit were completely aroused by Gavin, and he was gearing up to look forward to what the dwarven thunder cavalry and hoplites would look like when they surged out of Colossus.

Gavin made an offer: "Next, I'm going to meet the messenger of my Council of Dead Chiefs for a while, and ask the patriarch to come along." ”

"No, if I am involved in this matter, it will be counterproductive." Giharin shook his head and refused, "The hatred between giants and dwarves has lasted for tens of thousands of years, engraved in the bones, even those giants who have never seen dwarves in their lives have an instinctive hatred for us, not to mention, the Council of Death Chiefs is a direct participant in the war between giants and dwarves, if the Colossus City is in the hands of the kobolds, there is still some room for relaxation between the two sides, but if it returns to the hands of the dwarves, the contradiction is only difficult to reconcile, our Colossus City needs time to develop now, it is best not to start a war lightly." ”

Gavin generously stated: "Peace is not a matter of compromise, but with the sword in hand, and if the emissary of the Council of Chiefs of Death makes an excessive request to drive all the dwarves out of Colossus, can I still agree to it?" This is undoubtedly self-defeating, and I will do my best to fight for peace, but if they insist on provoking war, I will never be afraid of war. ”

In the past half month, Gavin has certainly brought a lot of impact to the desperate Eastern Regions.

But the war there is also subtly changing Gavin's concept, allowing him to have a more accurate positioning of his current strength, even in the face of those top existences, it is not powerless, especially the Death Chieftain's Council, which involves enemies in the realm of undeath, he still has a lot of advantages.

"Since the lord is so heroic, I won't twist." Giharin briskly changed his tone.

After all, he didn't want to completely put the fate of himself and his people in the hands of others.

The Council of Chiefs of Death is not a bunch of fools, and just because they avoid it, they don't know that Colossus is home to a large number of dwarves.

"Let's go." Gavin and Giharin ended their separate negotiations and went straight to the council chamber of the Colossus.

It was once the dwarven court of the city, and the style of the city is here to the extreme—big.

Everything was scaled up to the giant's version, with a roof fifteen meters high and a stone throne in the center large enough for a Storm Giant to sit on, with the exception of the staircase steps, which were built to the size of a normal person, but a closer look reveals that they were added later.

It is true that the city was built by the dwarves of the Supreme Shanata, but there is a premise.

It was once the domain of the giants, and the stone giants built their own city palaces here.

The dwarves were rebuilt from the giants' buildings.

In order to show their strength and glory, they retained many of the characteristics of giants, especially this royal court, in order to make it easier to receive those giants' envoys and captives and declare their sovereignty to them.

After 5,000 years, it is playing its role again.

Only this time it was no longer a dwarf sitting on the throne, but a half-elf and a dragonborn, a dwarf and a gray dwarf sitting on their side.

With a roar of steam, the steel gate, which was twenty meters high, rumbled open.

This is the real gate of the Colossus, and the two gates that the kobold walked through in the past belonged to the side gates.

In the midst of the announcement, the two stone giants walked in with steady steps, and against the background of all the huge things around them, they were very inconspicuous, but when they actually walked in front of them, they would find that they were behemoths more than three times magnified by ordinary people.

The Golem on the right is very similar to Domingo, the Golem administrator imprisoned in the Colossus, with blue-gray skin and a somewhat thin body, but in fact, it is covered with muscles as strong and shapely as rocks, and he wears a thick giant full body armor, which makes him appear more brave.

Yuriu, who was sitting on Gavin's left hand, recognized it at a glance, and the giant's full body armor on the other party's body was from the Colossus Dungeon and from their hands, so they knew how strong the defense of this thing was.

Everyone's attention couldn't help but fall on the stone giant on the left, he was wearing the same style of giant full body armor, but the armor on his body was no longer the primary color of steel, but gray, exuding a strong aura of death.

The most unique thing is that, in addition to those joints, there are gaps that are easy to move, and the whole set of armor does not see the rope buckles and the like for removing the armor, as if it is directly welded to him, and the position of his eyes flashes with a cold shimmer of cold light, from which he does not feel the slightest bit of life and temperature.

Undead Golem.

This is the existence that most makes the Council of Chiefs of Death known.

The golem's name was Asim, and the undead golem was Upendra.

After introducing each other's identities, Asim, the emissary of the Golem, took the lead, "On behalf of His Majesty Dokong, the great lord of the Immortal Giants, the great chief of the Council of Chiefs of Death, and the last king of the kingdom of giants, Nederheim, I have given you an ultimatum to return our mine dwarven graves within ten days, and expel all the dwarves in this city, and then compensate 10 million gold coins as compensation for your unauthorized attack on our property, otherwise we will use force." ”

Just as Gavin had guessed, the Council of Chiefs of Death was indeed a bad comer, and three extremely harsh conditions were put forward in one mouth.

"What does it mean to attack your property without permission?" Without waiting to speak, Giharin jumped up and retorted condescendingly, "Do you see the heart of the mountains on the head of the lord?" This is the energy key of this city, controlling everything that belongs here, the person in charge of him is the real master of this city, including the dwarf grave in your mouth, you are the real invaders, it is good that we did not hold you responsible, you still have the face to ask for it, and you also want war compensation, and you want us dwarves to leave their cities, don't think. ”

The political acumen of this wandering dwarf king, that is definitely one top one, many things, only need a slight hint from Gavin to understand.

Talking about this kind of thing, you need someone to sing red face and white face, and the dwarf who has a vendetta with the giants is the best choice to play the role of spoiler, especially the other party's request, which really threatens their interests.

Whether it was the sheer potential of the Colossus or the significance of this place for their entire army to counterattack the Tesheryama mines, they couldn't give up.

Especially if you have just reaffirmed the covenant with Gavin and gained greater autonomy, you can't give it up easily.

"Your city." Asim, the stone giant messenger who was still a little tepid, involuntarily raised his voice several knots, and the entire palace seemed to resonate with it, "The Giant Running Mountain Range used to be a playground for our giants to play, the Giant Plains is the big garden in front of our house, and the Troll Mountain is our backyard, where we keep our servants in captivity.

This palace was dug out of the mountains by our ancestors with chisels and hammers, even the stone chairs you sit on.

When we giants owned this place, you were a bunch of rats hiding underground.

How dare you descended from a bunch of thieves swear sovereignty here to us, the true masters? ”

If you talk about the longevity of memory, giants are far above dwarves, they are also a long-lived race, even the shortest-lived hill giants, their natural lifespan is more than five hundred years, although the golem is not the longest-lived, but also has a lifespan of thousands of years.

Not to mention, when this group of golems did not follow the usual path and transformed themselves into intelligent undead, their racial memory will be even longer.

Even for the dwarves, the giant empire of Nederheim is a legend, but for these stone giants, at least some of them, it is still a living memory.

It's okay not to mention the belonging of Colossus City, but this mention directly poked the Golem's lung tube and exploded on the spot.

"It was you giants who did it themselves, it was you who took our ancestors captive, as your miners, it was your unbridled greed that led to the great alliance of all the Moradin people, and brought about the catastrophe for yourself." Giharin had long since eaten through the history of the Colossus's frescoes, and generously retorted.

The main purpose is not to distinguish between right and wrong back then.

Rather, it attracts hatred, muddies the waters completely, and takes the opportunity to learn more about your opponent.

When you are emotionally out of control, it is easier to expose your true intentions.

The stone giant Asim obviously wanted to refute, but was interrupted by the undead stone giant beside him, "This kind of ownership dispute, five thousand years ago, when those dwarves of the Supreme Shatana were still alive, there was no clear distinction, what is the point of talking about this now?"

Let's just say that now, the dwarven tomb has been under our rule for two thousand years, and he and his people are the property of our council of dead chiefs, and if you take it without telling us, you are invading and starting a war.

It is a matter of course to make reparations, and we are mindful of your young ignorance, and we give you the opportunity to make amends in the human way.

If you don't know how to cherish it, we will settle this dispute in the manner of the Council of the Chiefs of Death. ”
