Chapter 1336 Five Days

North and Oliveira respectively explained to the Phoenix King the affairs of Ulthuan and Karak Dreadnaught. Imrik, who was rare, only nodded and listened, without expressing any opinion from beginning to end.

This surprised Adira. With her husband's temperament, he would at least ridicule her, whether it was a trick of the noble council or a battle situation where command errors were caused by the right to speak.

The female prince smiled with difficulty, as if she wanted to comfort her husband: "What's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind. Is the situation very bad?"

Imric took a long breath and his expression became extremely solemn: "It's very bad, worse than I expected... Arrange a meeting between me and Thorgrin immediately, and don't let any unrelated people know about it."

This irrelevant person is obviously the emperor...

North immediately walked out of the camp to make arrangements, and Imrik also spread his hands to silence the curious people. He sat behind the desk and took advantage of this free time to break down some of the things that Adira had not decided on during this period. Let the matter be settled.

Two hours later, when Thorgrin heard that Imrik was back, his embarrassed expression turned more joyful. Pointed Ears must have found a solution.

The High King and the Butcher King found the Phoenix King in the camp together. There should have been a courtesy of servants bringing chairs to the two kings. As Imric raised his finger slightly, everyone was ordered to leave, including his. wife.

"Thorgrim, Agrim, we have known each other for many years and have trust in each other...so I will not hide something important."

Imrik's deep voice made Thorgrin's face become more serious. He didn't think that the Phoenix King would come as a surprise, but rather it would be bad news.

"Tell me, if you had a solution, you would have taken action long ago."

After a long silence, Imric trembled his lips and said the words Thorgrin least wanted to hear.

"Karak Dreadnaught is about to collapse, and the entire mountain fortress will sink into the giant cave dug by the Skaven."

For a moment, just for a moment, the two dwarves' faces turned pale as if they had been washed away by paint.

The dwarves have the best miners and scholars. Someone has told the High King that the geological structure around Karak Dreadnought is extremely fragile. If load-bearing columns cannot be built at some key nodes in a short period of time, and then a long-term mountain stabilization project is carried out, this will A mountain fort with thousands of years of heritage is likely to disappear forever.

Thorgreen's expression became so ferocious for the first time, and he gritted his teeth as if possessed by the god of butchers: "I want to kill all the Skaven..."

Agrim barely managed to maintain a trace of sanity. He firmly pressed the shoulders of the trembling High King and looked at Imric, who was silent behind the desk: "How much time do you have?"

"In five days at most, you must convince Thuringer Zarathulinsen to abandon the mountain fort and take the remaining dwarves to leave. No matter where you go... at least it will be better than staying here."

Five days...which also includes how to get through Karak Dreadnought.

"Is there any other way? Isn't there anything the Slann lord can do about it?" Agrim just wanted to hold on to that little bit of hope. He had seen with his own eyes the power that the Slann exerted in Lustria, tearing the earth apart and roaring rivers. , the mountains and rivers are boiling, if it were them...

"The change in the geological structure is not a simple logical event. A forced reversal can return to the original proposition. If Lord Slann moves the mountain to fill the hole under the mountain fort, the first person to be affected will be Karak Desolate Fort... You Are you sure that there are no rat men under the Desolate Castle?"

"Be prepared. The elves will keep their promise and help you defeat the greenskins and open the way to the Fearless Fortress, but what will be the final result..."

Imrik, who was walking out of the camp, patted Agrim on the shoulder and did not continue to explain. He asked the dwarves to abandon the mountain fort and watch the fortress entrusted by their ancestors turn into ruins. This was even more uncomfortable than killing them.

No matter what the outcome is, even if Thorgrin convinces King Thuringer of Dreadnaught to lead his people to leave, it is foreseeable that many dwarves will go to Kaderin and swear an oath at the Butcher's Shrine.

And this huge change is undoubtedly the first clarion call of the doomsday bell...

The wrath of the High King finally turned into a look of unwillingness in the midst of responsibility and oath.

"Do you think his words are credible?"

Agrim closed his eyes and sighed: "Your Majesty, you have already made your judgment, why bother asking me? No matter how low the possibility is, we cannot watch our compatriots die in our homeland..."

"Abandoning the mountain fortress is more acceptable than killing Thuringe. I, I..." Thorgreen finally raised his head and sighed. He thought that the fate of the dwarves had ushered in a turning point, but he did not expect that this instinct would determine the mountains. The summit of the Kingdom's foreign policy for the next few decades ended up with such a big surprise.

But he still has a chance to make amends. If the mountain fort is gone, it can be rebuilt. If the mine disappears, it can be dug again. With countless years of accumulation of magical weapons, it can fill the treasure house. But if the people of Fearless Castle disappear, everything will be empty talk.

Thorgrin held Agrim's shoulder. At this point, only this close friend who had always believed in him could make the High King deeply trust him.

"You go and talk to Imric. No matter how much it costs the dwarves, the elves must use all the preparation methods in the old world to create a safe road to Karak Dreadnaught within three days!"

"Well, I'll try my best."

Agrim nodded heavily. Until now, he can only believe in these pointed ears that always create miracles...

If the meteorite that destroyed the Patilon Lord Modric falls again, the greenskins will inevitably collapse in a short time, and everything is still in time.

The Supreme King can only drag his heavy steps to find his firm and reliable emperor ally, and relay the original words of the Phoenix King in fierce words, and ask Karl Franz not to delay any longer. The dwarves did not hesitate to save humans and paid a bloody crime.

But now the emperor is obsessed with a group of... martyrs who are already seeking death.

"How credible is it?" Karl asked Kurt beside him in a low voice with doubt.

If the ratmen can easily sink a mountain fortress with thousands of years of history, doesn't it mean that the imperial city that lacks protection underground has fallen into the control of the ratmen...

As long as the Demon Rat Council is willing, there will soon be several large holes in the territory of the empire, and the nature of the war will change from human power to natural disasters.

"I don't recommend you to ask too much about this matter. The High King cannot gamble on probability. Even if this may be an excuse for the elves to end the war as soon as possible... the Empire must agree to Thorgrin's request."

Kurt also doubted this. Throughout the history of the Empire, he had never encountered such a situation.

Years of experience as a general told him that this was just an accident, but what if it was true...

If the ratmen can really make the city collapse without anyone noticing, humans and dwarves will be in danger. Except for the elves who live on islands to protect themselves, the ratmen are the biggest threat to all intelligent life. (End of this chapter)
