Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

The dwarves only learned about the existence of the dark elves in recent decades, even later than humans.

After all, the dwarves have no idea what civil war is, nor do they know what separatism is.

They believed in the same ancestor god, and even though they were divided into different kingdoms, there was always one supreme king who governed everything.

If conflicts occur among the tribesmen, they are resolved by swearing oaths.

The guilty party would abide by his oath and become a butcher, thereby washing away his shame.

But the elves are different. They have long since split into more than a dozen kingdoms.

The three most famous races are of course the High Elves, Dark Elves and Wood Elves.

Although some elves who have integrated into human cities have maintained their pride, this group of continental elves generally prefer the Old World to Ulthuan.

There are also the fortress elves of Dawn Fortress, the elven colonies of various customs, and the sea elves on distant islands. Although these are nominally high elves, in fact they have all become independent.

It was not until recently that I understood the division of the elves and the premise for the outbreak of the Longbeard War.

It is true that the dark elves disguised themselves as high elves and attacked the dwarf caravan, but that does not mean that such hatred can be diverted.

The hatred of the dwarves can only be eliminated, not transferred. Moreover, the high elves cut off the beards of the dwarf diplomats when negotiating compensation later. This was the biggest reason for the outbreak of the Longbeard War.

After all, attacking a caravan is really not a big deal.

When caravans are out on the road, it is common to encounter wild animals, bandit attacks, and natural disasters.

Windlow understands this well. As a businessman, when he encounters all kinds of bad things, he can only blame himself for being careless or lamenting his bad luck.

It is normal for all nations to lose one or two caravans from time to time. The High Elves can simply pay compensation or send their own people to assist the dwarves in the investigation.

But they took the initiative to violate the bottom line of the dwarves, and finally the most brutal war in the world broke out.

Although the dwarves later learned that it was the Dark Elves who initially ambushed the dwarf caravan, the dwarves did not have much hatred towards the Dark Elves.

There are only a little over a hundred entries about dark elves recorded in the Book of Hatred, and the most prominent hatred is the breach of promise.

The hatred caused by the attack on the caravan was small, but the greatest hatred was that Malekith blatantly violated his oath to the dwarves.

The hatred can only be eliminated by killing Malekith or becoming a butcher himself.

The situation with the High Elves is a little more complicated. At least half of the Phoenix Court must be killed before the hatred can be eliminated.

Seeing the dwarf troops, both the high elves and the dark elves would have doubts in their hearts.

Although this group of short-legged dwarfs do not have any particularly strong fighting capabilities, they can easily defeat the high elves and dark elves in ground combat.

Although the Dark Elves' crossbows have the ability to penetrate armor, their range is too disadvantageous. Even though they are carrying a huge shield, they will still be directly destroyed by the enemy's crossbowmen and muskets before they get close to the dwarf phalanx.

The proud heavy-armored soldiers were no match for the dwarfs' organ cannons, and magic attacks had little chance of causing any damage to the dwarves.

Even if the most terrifying beasts were sent out, they would be destroyed one by one by accurate cannons from a long distance.

Unless they take advantage of mobility and terrain, the Dark Elf forces would have no chance of standing a chance against Dwarf forces of equal quality.

So after a large number of dwarf soldiers appeared, the Black Ark immediately stopped and did not dare to dock.

No matter how many Black Ark pirates are dispatched, they are no match for the dwarves.

Landing was unlikely, the only way was to look further north.

Basically all the dark elves knew about the things between Malekith and the dwarves, so they were naturally more wary of the dwarves.

Heading north, the biggest advantage of the Black Ark became apparent. As a vehicle separated from the land, it could easily land anywhere.

This is also the prerequisite for the dark elves to plunder everywhere.

As the Black Ark approached the shore, only a team of Cold Lizard riders left the Ark.

Their mission was to go south to scout for the dwarf troops. Although such a group of short-legged dwarves did not move very fast, once they targeted them, they would not be able to escape.

The reconnaissance team soon returned and reported that the dwarf troops were chasing the ratmen in the mountains.

Thanks to the ratmen's ability to escape and the dwarves' ability to chase, it has been possible to land here safely in recent months.

After ensuring safety, it is time to execute Malekith's orders. There can be no delay or excuses in the Witch King's requests.

While there was still enough time, most of the slaves and soldiers were left on the Black Ark, and only a small number of elite troops accompanied Octopus Face to the nearest dark elf city.

As for the troops, you don't need to bring too many here.

If there are too many local rebels, no matter how many people you bring, you will not be able to defeat them because they are well-rested.

If the local rebels have not yet gained momentum, there will be no place to place the excess troops.

A legendary lord should only dispatch his elite troops and personally go into battle.

The Ultimate Dark Altar, the most western land of the Dark Elves.

When the Dark Elves first landed in a land called Naggaroth, they discovered a chaos portal there.

In ancient times, there were countless chaos portals in the world, which continuously sent chaos demons into the real world.

After the purge by the dwarves and elves, most of the chaos portals in the world have been dealt with.

The dark elves did not get rid of the portal located at the Ultimate Dark Altar not because they were incapable, but simply because they felt that keeping the portal had many uses.

It can be used to strengthen the wind of magic, to challenge demons, to train soldiers, and even to seize weapons and loot from demons.

Not long ago, Malekith obtained the Iron Ring from the demons here, a terrible ring with magical powers.

There are even many corpses of Chaos servants left here. This is the habit and style of the Dark Elves.

Kill the enemies and make them expose the wilderness.

Judging from the freshness of the corpse, the incident happened not long ago, and Malekith might still be in Naggaroth.

After the scout finished speaking, the morale of the octopus-faced troops was boosted. They were loyal to Malekith, and now that they returned with loyalty, they would definitely receive the most generous rewards.

Then, better news came. Malekith himself was leading his army to rest at the Ultimate Dark Altar!
