The Bizarre Adventure of the Warhammer Elves

Chapter 410 Gotrek and Phoenix
This actually makes it impossible for Erickson to speculate on Rohan's coalition request with such dark thoughts, because the wealth left by Belegar Hammer's ancestors in the Eight Peaks Mountain was too much:
Because he suffered heavy losses from successive attacks by greenskins and ratmen, Belegar's father ordered that all the piles of treasures and various legendary runes be sealed in a secret room at the bottom of the fortress.

Not only that, the secret room also contains a large number of ancient rune equipment and various lost skills. It can be said that each of them is a supreme treasure that can revitalize the dwarf kingdom!

The entrance to the secret chamber is blocked with an iron door made of indestructible dwarf runes. Legend has it that only the true master of Eight Peaks Mountain - Belegar Iron Hammer can open it.

This also means that this treasure that belongs exclusively to the dwarves has not been tainted by any rat clans or green-skinned warlords. They have been waiting for the dwarves to take it back like the glory of their sleeping ancestors!

Because of this, taking back the Eight Peaks Mountain for the dwarves not only means obtaining a strong fortress with a very important strategic location, but the treasures in it can also benefit the entire dwarf kingdom!
Under such temptation, Rohan suddenly offered to help the dwarves regain the Eight Peaks Mountain. How could this not make people wonder if the other party was coveting the secret treasures buried in the secret room?

After all, although the relationship between the two parties has been pretty good so far, the reputation of the dark elves...

It’s really not good!
"I know that you may have doubts about my purpose. After all, I also know that my fellow tribesmen are no less despicable than the rat people in character, so I don't expect to be able to impress you with my words."

Facing the suspicious eyes of the dwarf representatives around him, Rohan also knew the importance of the legacy of Bafeng Mountain to the dwarf kingdom, so he had already made preparations in advance.

brush~
With a flash of cold light, Luo Han pulled out the dagger from his waist and left a blood mark on his palm. Streams of blood exuding a faint golden light flowed out from the wound!
Before the surrounding dwarves could react, Rohan used his own blood to carve a golden and red magic array in the air, and began to solemnly swear:

"In the presence of the dwarf gods, I, Saint Rohan, swear by my blood that I will never have any wrong thoughts about Karak Eight Peaks and the dwarven ancestral heritage within it. , otherwise the blood curse will backfire!"

hum~
As Rohan's oath was established, the magic array in the air immediately turned into stars and dispersed, leaving only the Dwarf High King staring blankly at Rohan's bloody left hand.

After a long while, Erickson stood up from the throne with a wry smile, then came to Lohan in person, patted his thigh and said with some distress:

"What are you...why bother? My friend, this oath of yours should be the legendary dwarf oath. The backlash of the oath is no joke!"

"I think this should prove my sincerity towards this covenant, right?"

Seeing the admiration and respect that the surrounding dwarves looked at him, Rohan couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face.

The Dwarf Oath is an extremely powerful contractual magic. It is also the most important contract between dwarves and foreigners. It also symbolizes the friendship between the contractor and the dwarves.

As for the effect...

The young Witch King once made a dwarven contract when the High King of the Dwarves, Snorri Whitebeard, was dying, claiming that the friendship between elves and dwarves would last forever.

However, with the outbreak of the Longbeard War, His Majesty the Witch King, who had signed a contract, violated the oath he made in front of the dwarf gods, thus incurring a terrible punishment:

As a witness, Snorri Whitebeard was brought back to life because of the Witch King's broken promise, and he was granted immortality by the dwarf god of war. He will hunt down the Witch King until he is forgiven!
This shows how sincere the dwarf oath made by Rohan was!

"It's difficult to handle. Even humans have never signed such a military alliance with us, and there has never been a precedent for foreign forces to assist us in retaking our homeland, let alone the elves?"

"We used to help those humans resist the green skins and Chaos. This is the first time that other foreign races have come to help us fight against the enemy..."

"But what about Belegar Hammer? We have promised to send 500 dwarf warriors to support his expedition to retake the Eight Peaks Mountains. Will he be dissatisfied if we change it to human support?"

……

Clan representatives were talking a lot. There had never been such a military alliance with other races in the history of the dwarves. Rohan's proposal could be said to be the first military alliance in the history of the dwarves.

The elves and dwarves in ancient times had a golden period of harmonious development, but the outbreak of the Longbeard War has undoubtedly proved that the personalities of the elves and dwarves are not perfectly compatible.

Who can guarantee whether their current alliance will become a repeat of the dark history of the past?
After hearing the discussions among representatives of various clans around him, Erikson's gray-bearded face was filled with tangles at the moment, and he obviously didn't know what to do.

He is already old. If there are any unexpected changes in this military alliance plan, then he can no longer think of any way for the dwarf kingdom to end it decently.

After a while, Erickson focused his gaze on Lohan with a firm face, and then said decisively:
"Although I am very willing to agree to join your military alliance in my heart, now that I am old, I can only hold on to the position of High King for a few years at most, so I don't know if you can continue to cooperate with the Dwarf Kingdom after my death. Keep the friendship alive.

But regarding the recovery of Eight Peaks Mountain, I am willing to sign a short-term military alliance with you as a cornerstone for the restoration of the friendship between dwarves and elves.

I think that when the future heir to the High King comes to power, he should be able to clearly see the friendship between the two sides through our brief military alliance, and wait until then to sign a real military alliance. "

After saying that, Erickson stared at Rohan's eyes with his eyes as hot as a torch, trying to distinguish any factors that might be detrimental to the dwarf kingdom.

As comrades who once participated in the Battle of Plagg, he has a very good personal relationship with Rohan, but he is also the supreme king of all dwarves!

He wanted to believe that Rohan was sincerely working for the relationship between elves and dwarves, but he didn't dare to bet whether the other party's friendship candy might contain an evil poison targeting the dwarf kingdom?

"In that case, let us celebrate our short-term alliance and wish us a true military alliance in the future."

There was no strange color in Rohan's eyes. He had no unreasonable thoughts about the Bafeng Mountain on the other side of the world. The soul of his previous life also prevented him from being as arrogant as those evil compatriots.This is a treasure that belongs to the dwarves. How long will it take for him to go to the other side of the world to fight for it with them?
"...Okay, in that case, the Eternal Peak dwarves who were originally sent to Eight Peaks Mountain for support will go to the Naggaroth Pruning Outpost to assist you in exterminating those damn rats!"

Looking at the wine glass brought by Rohan, Erickson's originally serious face once again smiled. Then he raised the glass high and drank happily, and began to celebrate the birth of the alliance amidst the cheers of the clan representatives.

No one knows what this military alliance will become in the future, but the dwarves know that this will be the beginning of a new world!
Rohan took the beer from Erickson's hand with a smile. He drank the beer in one gulp rather boldly, then squatted down and put his arm around the High King's shoulders and asked:
"Hiccup~ Brother, considering the treaty we have signed, can I ask you for two people to take to Nagaroth to deal with those ratmen?"

"Hahahaha, it's easy to talk, I will send 500 dwarf warriors and 300 thunder gunners to help you fight against the rat men, and it will be nothing more than giving you two more."

"Then what? I heard that a red-haired dwarf butcher came to Eight Peaks Mountain recently, and a bard from Altdorf in the Empire. They seem to be named Gotrek and Phoenix?"

————A few days later, Grand City
Since the plague in Gran City is still on the rise, Rohan did not come to the city in person to conduct command and coordination. Instead, he asked the Wild Hunt elves to use teleportation magic to send the dwarves into the city.

Of course, this naturally includes a dwarf butcher holding a rune battle ax and a human writer carrying a rune sword:
"This damn place is so cold. I have to abide by the butcher's oath and go topless in a place like this. Can't you let me find a warmer place?"

The red-haired butcher grumbled and walked out of the portal. His sharp eyes were scanning the surrounding elven streets that were empty due to home isolation. At the same time, he did not forget to complain:

"This scene is so depressing, I can even smell the dirty smell of those flea-covered rat men in the air... And didn't they plug their ears and come out to greet us guests?"

"Calm down, Gotrek. This elven city is suffering from a plague now. You should understand their current situation."

After hearing the dwarf butcher's complaints, the blond human next to him couldn't help but defend the elves. At the same time, he looked at the gorgeous yet solemn elven buildings around him with amazed eyes.

As a human living in Altdorf, he believed that he should be the first human in history to set foot on the territory of the Dark Elves as a guest rather than a slave.

Compared with the various masonry houses and medieval buildings in Altdorf, the elven houses with tens of thousands of years of construction experience were far superior to humans in terms of practicality and artistry, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing that his companion was behaving in such an unsightly manner, the dwarf butcher named Gotrek couldn't help shaking his beard angrily, and then complained rather dissatisfiedly:

"You look like a poor country boy who has just entered a big city. Phoenix, it seems that I should take you to visit Bafeng Mountain. That is the real city!"

"Bafeng Mountain, that mountain range composed of eight peaks, haven't we already seen it?"

"Ignorance! What you see is just an appearance. The real Eight Peaks Mountain is the pinnacle of strength built brick by brick by our ancestors. It is a symbol of our power and wealth. It is also beyond elves and humans, and even It’s a sign of other dwarves!”

Gotrek talked endlessly about the glory of Karak Eight Peaks. As a former native of Eight Peaks, he had the right to be proud of it.

The ignorant human writer is simply the best audience, so he doesn't mind spreading these glorious dwarven histories to other humans through this bard.

Unfortunately, not all listeners want to be as well-behaved and sensible as Phoenix:

"Really, but if I remember correctly, the once glorious Eight Peaks Mountain is now under the control of the Skaven and the Greenskins. I can only watch the once glorious palace being defiled by those foul-smelling creatures."

"what are you?!"

Hearing this, Gotrek angrily picked up the ax and turned his head to look back. Then he saw a human dwarf sitting on a strange machine walking towards here accompanied by several elven guards.

Wait, a human dwarf guarded by elves?

Phoenix looked at the ugly dwarf with golden hair in front of him in disbelief. He looked blankly at the loyal elf guards next to him and couldn't help but swallowed. Finally, he exclaimed in a low voice:

"Gotrek, am I right? That dwarf seems to have a higher status than those dark elf guards!"

"I saw it, but that doesn't excuse him from tarnishing the glory of Bafeng Mountain!"

"Wait a minute, man, are you trying to cause trouble in the dark elf city? Doesn't that dwarf's identity seem unusual?"

Gotrek didn't care about Phoenix's obstruction next to him. He walked straight through the dark elf guards who put their hands on their weapons. Then he raised his head slightly and looked at the dwarf sitting on the machine and asked:
"Hey, a human born with stunted growth, shouldn't you explain your behavior that just tarnished the honor of the dwarves?"

"Um...I'm sorry, but this is actually the first time I have seen a humanoid creature shorter than me appear in front of me, so I may have offended you, and I want to express my apology to you."

After hearing Gotrek's question, Tyrion looked like he suddenly understood and expressed his apology, seemingly not noticing Gotrek's face that was red with anger.

short?
What does it mean to be shorter than you? !
How dare a mere human dwarf use such words to humiliate a dwarf? !

The angry Gotrek was about to raise his ax and yell at the other party for his behavior, but then he noticed that the other party sitting on the exoskeleton armor was indeed a bit taller than him, which inevitably made him even more angry.

What should I do? I really want to kill this mean-mouthed dwarf!
