Spring had arrived, and all creatures were revived. It was the mating season again. On the vast plains, besides the fourteen fortresses of the two nations, there were sounds of hearty breathing.
But these animals and magical beasts did not have sex for long.
Not only were they chased away by the tens of thousands of players, but they could only look at them with resentment. This group of players had started to set up camps on both sides of the fortresses and occupied their nests. It was an unforgivable sin.
[Stop: The three Dwarf nations will send 300,000 soldiers. They will attack the Red Fire Kingdom from both sides of the fortresses.]
[Mission Difficulty: S]
[Mission Objective: Stop the Dwarf Kingdom's army from penetrating 30 kilometers into the border.]
[Mission Reward:???]
[Mission Reward:???]
When the players saw this mission, they felt that it was not too bad. It was just an S level mission, so the difficulty should not be too high.
After all, they had participated in an SSS level mission. Even though they had not experienced the war in the last five years, they felt that the difference was not too big.
The only difference was that the equipment of the Dwarfs was too good. It made them timid and impulsive. It was like a normal person seeing a naked beauty standing in front of him.
But she was the world champion of the freestyle combat. You wanted to go up against her, but you did not dare to.
At this moment.
Players were setting up tents in groups of three to five. Soon, all kinds of tents covered the ground.
William did not directly go to the military fortresses because it was not easy to start a war. If a war broke out, regardless of victory or defeat, they had to calculate the outcome. Both sides were making preparations.
Therefore, he was with this group of players. He glanced at the colorful tents of the players. They looked like pleasure boats on the Qinhuai River. Outsiders who didn't know would think that they weren't here to fight, but to sell their wares.
But there was nothing to sell in the Gods' Market. Among them, the skin of the tents was an option. So were the skins of various weapons.
As a result, even though the quality of the weapons and equipment of the players was not good, they all had the style of 'Frostmourne'.
Two words.
Dazzling.
Even the NPCs wanted to snatch it.
Come to think of it.
Many players had died tragically under the blades of the NPCs because their weapons and skins were too cool …
Not only did the players want to loot their equipment, but the NPCs also wanted to loot their equipment.
William walked in the military camp. Many players gathered around him in an attempt to loot one or two missions. They hoped that he would randomly give them a strange encounter mission.
William did not have the time to give them strange encounter missions. He just laughed and chatted with them for a while. He was not as cold and arrogant as before.
All of a sudden, the players had a good impression of him. They felt that he was easy to get, but the missions were getting more difficult.
After all, even Changli Jiuge, the hope of the entire village, had never asked William for a mission.
Because His Royal Highness wasn't thinking about anyone else, but Odom, who was also in the same situation.
He quickly found the blonde wavy Odom. He was wearing armor and holding a warhammer. He looked like he was going to turn the world upside down.
When the latter saw him, he didn't make a sound. He just sat on the chair and seemed to be waiting for the Dwarf Legion to attack.
William looked at the stubborn Dwarf and suddenly said, "Bear with it. Now is not the time to really start a full-scale war with the Dwarf Kingdom. Besides, these Dwarves used to be your people. Do you really have the heart to kill them? Especially when you, an Epic-ranked professional, went on a killing spree. What's going on? "
Odom snorted coldly. "They used to kill my people like this. So what if they're Epic-ranked? Even a Legendary has attacked."
"You have to think for the sake of the City of Dawn. You're the deputy city lord of the City of Dawn. If you dare to attack their ordinary troops, their epic professionals will attack the Dawn Army. It's a win-win situation." William sighed.
When Odom heard this, he wrinkled his nose and cursed under his breath. Then he said, "Then what do you think we should do?"
"Think about it. You have the bloodline of Lonely Mountain. The high officials of the Dwarf Kingdom know it, but the ordinary people don't. What you should do now is to let them know that you are the last heir of the Dwarf Emperor. You also need to win their favor and get the support of some dwarves."
Odom rubbed his long blonde hair and said in bewilderment, "That's impossible. After so many years, this group of dwarves, including the dwarven warriors in the army, have basically been brainwashed countless times.
Perhaps they still remembered Lonely Mountain. That mountain was right there in front of them.
"But they must have thought that the bloodline of Lonely Mountain has long been lost. Even if I go out, I won't be recognized."
William narrowed his eyes and said with a serious expression, "You can't say that. There should be many people who remember that you have the bloodline of Lonely Mountain. Even in the seven major Dwarf Kingdoms, not everyone wants you to die. "Otherwise, with the strength of the Dwarf Kingdom, do you think that you can escape for hundreds of years without being wiped out?"
Odom thought about it. Indeed, in the past hundreds of years, there had been many disasters, and there had always been people secretly tipping them off.
But as time dragged on, those connections were lost.
He did not know whether those people no longer remembered the kindness.
Or did they think that the bloodline of Lonely Mountain could no longer rise again?
But it was undeniable.
The bloodline of Lonely Mountain would definitely be recognized by others. Even Legendary professionals would stand on his side.
William said again, "If I have the bloodline of Lonely Mountain, it will be very easy to get their recognition. After all, you know that my looks are unparalleled in the world …"
Odom was deep in thought.
William continued, "Ahem, since you are not as good-looking as me, and you still want to return to Lonely Mountain and even want to become the King of the Dwarfs, you need some means to make them recognize you as a person first, and then your identity."
"What means?" Odom's eyes lit up. Could it be that His Royal Highness had already prepared a way for him to return to Lonely Mountain?
William laughed and said, "Of course. Do you know about the Darkness invasion in a month's time?"
"Yes." Odom nodded.
William glanced at his height and helped him stand on a chair. Then he whispered in Odom's ear, "I have a way to make the Darkness invasion appear on this battlefield and let the dark creatures launch a destructive attack on the Dwarf army."
"And you will be their savior."
Odom frowned. Even if the Humans and the Dwarfs started a war, and the Darkness invasion suddenly attacked one side, they would help each other.
Of course, it was possible. In fact, most of the time, they would sit back and watch, allowing the Dwarfs to suffer countless casualties.
So in this way.
If Odom really saved a certain Dwarf army, he would gain a lot of good impression points.
But William did not finish his sentence. He continued, "If you want to bring thousands of your people back to Lonely Mountain, it will be very difficult." Unless this war is over and I have a foundation here, then I can send an army to accompany your clan to Lonely Mountain.
"But now you can't help it.
"Then you can only rely on acting pitifully. But then again, the possibility of success is higher."
"What do you mean?" Odom still did not understand.
William laughed and said, "Of course, it's an arrangement."
After that, His Royal Highness explained his plan in detail.
Odom was dumbfounded and shocked.
What plan?
That was to let the bards release a piece of news. The deputy lord of the City of Dawn, Odom Heavyhammer, was the last bloodline of the Lonely Mountain Empire.
He would lead a returning team of only a dozen people to the Lonely Mountain. He would try to open the door that had been sealed for hundreds of years and retrieve the artifact of the Dwarfs.
He was the owner of the artifact.
Not only would he rule the Lonely Mountain, but he would also become the King of all the Dwarfs.
As for the purpose, of course, it was to unite the Dwarfs to fight against the future Darkness invasion. Anyway, it was said in a righteous way.
This so-called Divine Artifact was naturally something he had made up.
But the Dwarfs had the wooden artifact. No one could say for sure whether there was an artifact hidden in the Lonely Mountain. Even the Dwarf Kingdom could not guarantee that Odom would not obtain such an artifact after entering the Lonely Mountain.
Therefore.
The Dwarf Kingdom that had the intention to target Odom would definitely send people to obstruct him and cause him many difficulties.
The dwarven forces that supported Odom would also slowly surface.
After all, Odom was very strong.
Now, not only was he an epic professional, but he was also the deputy lord of the City of Dawn. More importantly, only his bloodline could break the barrier of the Lonely Mountain and open the door. This was his capital.
And William wanted to spread this news to the entire continent.
Then, countless people would be looking at him.
Therefore, when that time came.
The seven Dwarfs had been fighting in the Lonely Mountain for many years, but they had not opened the door. What was wrong with him, a Dwarf who was stranded in a foreign land, trying to open the door?
Even if they did not recognize his identity, they could at least try, right?
Therefore, even if some Dwarf Kingdoms wanted to attack, they could not send Dwarfs because there were too many people. They could only hire some assassins.
As for how to make the Darkness Invasion appear on this battlefield.
Of course, they had to find Daniel and ask him to send some dark creatures to sneak attack the Dwarf legion.
That was right.
Daniel did not die. He had successfully entered the Sage state and become a big boss in the Dark World. In addition to his achievements, many Legendary devils had been attracted to join his forces.
At this time, Daniel and the 72 Devil Gods had joined forces and were engaged in a war with the Great Devil King Berial.
After the appearance of these dark creatures, the quantity and quality of the dark creatures surpassed the Dwarf legion, bringing despair to the Dwarfs.
Then, Odom appeared and led his small team to save the Dwarf warriors.
It did not matter whether these guys appreciated his help or not.
After saving the people, they left.
Of course, Odom had to pretend that he did not have hatred for these people.
Because Odom wanted to become the Emperor of the Dwarfs.
It was not enough to just open the Lonely Mountain and obtain the fake artifact.
He had to slowly grind it over time.
He also had to show his charisma as a leader and his boldness as an emperor.
He also had to indirectly express that even if someone had betrayed the royal family of the Lonely Mountain, even if someone had sent assassins to hunt them for hundreds of years.
He would also forgive and never bear a grudge. He just wanted to lead the Dwarfs back to the glory of the Lonely Mountain.
Gradually.
As long as he could open the gate of the Lonely Mountain.
Naturally, many Dwarfs would be attracted to him. At least those Dwarfs who had helped him would definitely give him support.
In this way.
Odom could establish a foothold in the Lonely Mountain. Perhaps only tens of thousands of Dwarfs would come, and they could only build a small city.
But as long as he kept an eye on them.
And let the other Dwarf kingdoms feel that Odom did not have those vengeful thoughts.
Then, he would use all kinds of conspiracies to slowly annex the other Dwarf kingdoms.
This method was obviously different from what Odom had imagined.
According to his idea.
He wanted to use the military power of the City of Dawn to kill all the Dwarf kingdoms that had hunted him. Revenge was the most important thing.
But in this way.
The City of Dawn still needed too much time. Even if they could win, their vitality would be greatly damaged.
And Odom and the other Dwarfs had a blood feud. He could not become the master of the Lonely Mountain in this life. This was not what William wanted to see.
When William left, he patted Odom's shoulder. "If you want to return to the Lonely Mountain, then forget your hatred. It's not too late to take revenge in ten or a hundred years. When you control the seven major Dwarf kingdoms, do you have to worry about not being able to take revenge?"
Odom's eyes were confused. He did not pay attention to William's words.
Because he saw a list.
His team list.
Battle wizard McLean, Epic.
Light warrior Lancelot, Epic.
Wind ranger Legolas, Epic.
Dual space-time Akarov, Epic.
Dual water-fire Kassadin, Epic.
Fire warrior Roderick, Epic.
There were many other Epic professionals. There were Epic professionals from the four regions of the North, South, and East.
There were people from the empires, the kingdoms, the neutral camps, the Temple of Light, the Mercenary Guild, and the Palace of Darkness.
These people were his superficial brothers that he had built up over the years.
In one sentence.
Build up momentum.
William wanted to build up momentum from all aspects. He wanted the Dwarf Kingdom to understand that the team that accompanied Odom represented a lot of power.
He was now going to build a team that was more powerful than the Hobbit Trilogy and the Fellowship of the Ring.
He went straight to the Lonely Mountain.
He was not worried about what would happen if Odom became the Dwarf King or how he would get along with him in the future.
These were all things in the future.
He even hoped that Odom could split up and establish a bigger force on his own. This would bring greater benefits to the City of Dawn.
If Odom really established himself in the Lonely Mountain.
Not to mention that he could rule all the Dwarf Kingdoms again.
Even if it was just a small portion, it would be enough.
Because in this way, the City of Dawn would have a king-level force as an ally, both openly and secretly.
This kind of ally was definitely a strong one.
Before Odom died, there would be no problem.
Furthermore.
The future could be discussed in the future.
By then, William might have become a sage, and he would not need the support of the Dwarf Kingdom.
Even if he did not become a sage, did he not have the ability to increase the affinity of his nephew?
In one sentence.
Build up a relationship with William.
There was no possibility that the affinity would decrease.
Increasing the affinity was the only way out.
