Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

Rarely, Gelt used real gold coins this time.

For metal mages and merchants, no matter how rich they are, they will feel very uncomfortable once the gold coins explode.

Fortunately, twenty gold coins were still a small amount of money for Gelt.

Windlow was only carrying out reconnaissance and investigation missions, and the funding was completely sufficient.

The unicorn unloaded the carriage and knew that they had a new carrying mission. The two men and one beast were ready.

Windlow didn't know much about dwarven affairs. He only knew about the dwarven's stubborn, greedy and nitpicking characteristics.

“They have a big problem.”

Just by taking a look at the closed city gate, Mousse could judge the basic situation of the dwarves.

Dwarves, like elves, are a race created by the Old Saints.

Apart from the huge differences in height and magic resistance, there are almost no major differences between the two sides.

External differences do not mean that elves and dwarves are different internally. They are both xenophobic, superstitious and arrogant races.

“It’s covering up.”

Mousse's words sounded very serious, because from the elves' perspective, closing the city could only mean two things.

"It's either a plague or an impending attack."

Compared to the Empire and Bretonnia, which often like to close cities and prevent rural people from entering the cities, the dwarves and elves rarely close cities.

"plague?"

When he heard about the plague, Windlow was a little hesitant, as he still remembered clearly how he had been infected with the plague the last time he went to Tyrell.

In a fortress like the Dwarves', which is located in the mountains and has poor ventilation, the probability of an epidemic breaking out would be greater and more dangerous.

“It doesn’t look like a plague.”

Mousse shook his head, denying his first guess.

As races created by the Old Saints, elves and dwarves have very strong resistance to diseases and plagues.

The plague that killed three-quarters of the empire's population and the red plague that killed half of Bretonnia's population were just minor headaches for the elves and dwarves.

"If a plague broke out in the dwarven city that forced them to seal off the city, you and even those humans would have been infected and died one after another by now."

These words with the mocking tone of the dark elf made Wendlow feel a little creepy.

Although the language structure sounds a bit threatening, if you only look at the literal meaning, it is at least good news that there is no plague here.

Then after eliminating all wrong answers, the remaining answer, no matter how outrageous, is correct.

"The dwarves were attacked?"

"Indeed, they always have."

Mousse stood up silently and stretched his body. He hadn't exercised for a long time and felt his body was almost stiff.

However, this is not to help the dwarves. Elves never help dwarves. This is just a transaction.

The only problem now is to determine what exactly attacked the dwarves.

In the long history of the Empire, the Dwarves have only asked the Empire for help twice.

They were the First Battle of Blackfire Pass and the Second Battle of Blackfire Pass.

As for the dwarves who are too concerned about their reputation and look down on humans as their descendants, they really will not seek help from humans.

Unless the enemy threat can no longer be concealed and the ordinary people of the empire are aware of the enemy's existence, the dwarves will not contact the humans of the empire.

They established a defensive alliance for a very short period of time, and after defeating the enemy, they immediately returned to their own mountains as if nothing had happened.

Windlo and Mousse looked at each other. They both knew that it was obviously unrealistic to get any information from the dwarf.

I can only investigate everywhere, but I really can't make much with the twenty gold coins.

"Do you remember how to get to the next dwarven town? It was called something like Stone Hall?"

The greatest advantage of the Lord of Fear is that he never hesitates. When encountering a problem, Mousse can immediately come up with a solution.

Act decisively, depart quickly, and solve problems cleanly and efficiently.

As Mousse's backup, Windlow is responsible for all data investigation and logistical support when solving problems.

"Grunni Stone Hall, the dwarven stronghold to the east."

Windlow silently took out two large books and began to flip through them page by page.

The first one is the bill. Every businessman has his own account book, in which all income, expenditure and transactions are recorded for easy checking at any time.

For merchants, this thing is like the dwarf's Book of Hatred. It can be very thin or very thick, but it must be there.

As for the other big book, it was a book of records found in a cave in Kislev.

Everything that happened would appear in the form of text in this book, and Windlow would also add or subtract some of his own records.

Includes but is not limited to geographical knowledge, dwarven vocabulary, regional climate, and gourmet recipes.

The location and roads of Granni Stone Hall were naturally all recorded in the record book, signed as Merchant's Diary.

If you flip through it from time to time, it can help you avoid missing out on some knowledge and details.

"From here, then here, let's go."

Putting the record book called the Merchant's Diary in front of the unicorn, this guy also knows how to understand the terrain above.

After carrying Mousse's full armor and all the luggage, he silently began to lead the way.

Granni Stone Hall was not far away, and the two traveled light. Plus, there were roads built by dwarves among the mountains, so they reached the nearest hilltop in just one morning.

Like Karazha a Karak, this dwarf fortress is also in a completely closed state.

The dwarf turret is in a state of combat readiness, the dwarf soldiers have returned to the fortress, and the entire fortress entrance is built like an iron barrel.

"Mission accomplished, we can go back now. The dwarves were attacked by the enemy, possibly greenskins, but more likely ratmen."

Mousse's guess made sense. The dark elves had certainly dealt with both ratmen and greenskins at the same time.

It is easy to deal with the greenskins. They have no tactical thinking and will just charge forward mindlessly, trying to use their numerical advantage to resolve the battle.

You just need to detect the movements of the greenskin army in advance, then form a formation, and let melee, ranged, artillery and mages fight together to defeat them.

But the ratmen are different. They are more numerous but more cunning. They never fight head-on battles, but instead carry out various sneak attacks.

To deal with this kind of enemy, we must defend the city walls.

"It's a pity that the female ratman isn't here. She would definitely be willing to provide us with support. She's quite cute."
