Chapter 820 The Wheel Ax and the Strange Metaphor of the Dwarves
The headquarters fell into silence for a long time because of Arao's words. Damian, who had the deepest connection with the matter, pretended to be stupid and looked up at the sky, as if he couldn't understand the Elvish language, turning into a demented man.
Alas, who knew he had made a mistake, saw that everyone present was not prepared to answer this question and tried to forcefully change the topic.
Although the cheerful atmosphere just now was not in line with the serious outpost, it was infinitely better than the severe one now.
Masnow rubbed his fingers and saw that no one was ready to answer this young boy's question. He knew that they were waiting for him to say who among the people present was the champion with the highest status.
He looked at Alaao who was getting a little nervous and made a helpless smile.
"Arao, do you know why the ax needs to be swung?"
This is a question about weapon skills. Charis, who is famous for using the woodcutter's ax, naturally knows why he uses it.
The most preliminary way to observe a warrior's use of a large ax is to look at the lifting and swinging movements.
When swinging for the first time, place your palm close to the head of the axe. When swinging again, also known as swinging, place your palm close to the end of the ax handle to increase the power.
But why would Masno bring up the matter of swinging an axe? What does this have to do with the dwarves?
Arao couldn't figure it out and gave the answer directly to this question.
"Because swinging the ax can save energy. This is the inherent effect of the weapon's center of gravity being forward. It relies on inertia to increase its power."
Masno snapped his fingers to indicate that Arao was right.
"Yes, swinging an ax is the same as dwarves. It has an inherent influence. You can't change 'swinging', which is the best way to use a big ax. But if you focus on the rear end, the power of the ax will be greater. discount."
The metaphorical sentences made Alaao vaguely perceive something, scratching his head and thinking about these unique words,
"So the dwarves are the same as the axes. If Qiangbo and the others send troops, it will not be a 'swing' and they will not be able to achieve the expected combat effectiveness?"
"Smart student, no wonder the prince took him for several years before driving him away." Masnot praised Prince Charis's intelligence and revealed the real secret behind it,
"In fact, the cooperation with the dwarves is just a wishful act of the prince. Not to mention the thoughts of Randy and others, I am very opposed to placing hopes on the dwarves and taking their abilities too seriously.
Whether Thorgreen chooses to send troops or not is irrelevant to our next actions. "
Yin and Yang go against each other? This word first came to Arao's mind. He thought that the teacher's prestige was enough to suppress the criticism of cooperating with the dwarves, but he did not expect that not only the noble council, but also the champion warriors had strong opinions on the dwarves.
He stumbled and asked again,
"Yes, but our strategic deployment is indeed based on the Golden Oath City and the Bottomless Stone Steps, pressing the green skin's survival line deep into the badland. If the dwarves do not send troops, within a hundred years, the badland will change again. It’s a situation where the green skins are in danger.”
"What does this have to do with Caledor? The verbal agreement between the prince and Erickson only talked about the Eight Peaks Mountain and Longya Castle. We got what we wanted, Belega also got the Eight Peaks Mountain, and that was the end of it. "
The silent headquarters seemed to agree with Masnot's words.
The dragon princes have given the dwarves a lot of time. They contacted Eternal Peak again and again, but all they received was to wait. Now is not the time.
This makes many people dissatisfied. The purpose of our coming to the old world is not to build a port trade center for humans, nor to eliminate the greenskins for the dwarves.
Just for that illusory hope, he traveled thousands of miles from the beautiful Ulthuan to the miserable badlands.
Damian, who was responsible for calming down the atmosphere, saw the headquarters fell into silence because of these words. He patted Alao on the shoulder next to him and burst into laughter.
"Why do you always pay attention to useless things? The purpose of your coming here is to learn martial arts from me. Come on, let's go out and practice."
Arao walked out of the camp with Damian with a grimace. Only after he actually fought with him did he understand how big the gap was.
The teacher said that Grandfather and Damian could fight for more than a hundred rounds at most, which may be a conservative estimate. If he were to show his true strength, he might be able to defeat Prince Charles within thirty moves.
After the atmosphere group left, Bruni shook his head. He didn't know whether it was because of his helplessness towards Prince Charis or because he felt that this boy was too idealistic.
But since we are talking about dwarves, we should face up to this problem and not always avoid it with an implicit agreement.
"What's the latest news about Eternal Peak?"
"It's still the same. Thorgreen is busy reorganizing the various guilds, allowing some master blacksmiths who only specialize in runes in their workshops to actively participate in social affairs, encouraging the engineering guild to come up with new technologies, and the miners' guild releasing their inventory to provide meteorite iron. …
It was really hard for him, the supreme king, to face a group of stubborn longbeards every day and he had to look like the chosen one of his ancestors. "
Masnow was sarcastic. From the perspective of those who knew the real situation, the only prerequisite for Thorgreen's change was Caledor's charity.
But this mustache didn't cooperate at all and only focused on reforming dwarf society.
"This may be a good thing, or it may be a bad thing." Bruni rubbed his chin and thought for a while. After a while, he had an idea and turned his attention to Oliveira, who was eating melon next to him.
"I think it is necessary to send a person with a unique identity to the Eternal Peak to meet His Majesty the Supreme King. This person cannot be the Dragon Prince, otherwise he will start fighting with the Hammer Warriors before he walks through the door.
But the status cannot be too low, otherwise it will not be taken seriously. "
Everyone present turned their attention to Oliveira, who was not the Dragon Prince but a powerful aristocrat of the Anaheim military, the perfect candidate.
Oliveira, who was eating fruits, showed a smile that was uglier than crying and asked me to go to Eternal Peak? You must have found the wrong person. I have never dealt with dwarves more than three times in my life. I am not a diplomat and I don't understand the rules at all.
It would be easy to say if it was done successfully, but if it was done wrong, how would the prince explain it?
Looking at Bruni's eyes that were like interrogation, Oliveira turned to look at his old boss, hoping to get some possibilities from him.
But in the end, all he got was a nod in the affirmative.
"Well, Oliveira is a good candidate. He will go to Eternal Peak as the Overlord of Anaheim."
"But, I don't even know what to do." Oliveira spread his hands, ready to show off. The intricate relationship between you big shots, why should I be involved in a small role?
He couldn't send anyone, but he sent a new nobleman who was just a farmer. He didn't pretend to be a prince, and he might not even be able to see the face of the High King.
"Do what you want, do whatever you want. If Eternal Peak is not even willing to open the door, I will propose to the prince that this cooperation be canceled and the strategic thinking be re-planned."
