714.Gaia's helplessness·A sigh (page 2/2)
The smile on the royal accountant's face grew wider and wider. He was obviously a supporter of this argument that suddenly emerged in the Brass Fortress in recent days, but then the dwarf captain's words made the accountant stop laughing..
“We took the barracks! This is something that none of the previous three teams have done. Our 117 Commando has proven our strength, so we demand better rewards..”
The dwarf commando captain grabbed a piece of dried meat and chewed it while playing with the gem in his other hand..
He stared at the accountant with an ugly face and said：
“We demand the same treatment as the Iron Heart Warriors! Don't fool us, I asked someone to find out. The reward they can get for one dispatch is several times that of ours. This is not fair, my dear Accountant..”
“The fighting capabilities of both of you are not on the same level at all..”
Accountants argue with reason：
“While you were taking over this military camp, Iron Heart Warriors took down three positions in the same time, and suffered less losses than you. Don’t fool me, don’t think I don’t know. You were able to take over the military camp so quickly not just because You are brave enough, but also because those difficult blood-scarred jackals suddenly withdrew from the battlefield..
You just got a bargain.”
“Pooh！”
The captain was unhappy and cursed：
“So how can we increase the price?？”
“Simple！”
The accountant clapped his hands and said：
“The Supreme Lord issued a reward. Whoever can rush underground and seize a rat tunnel within ten days will get a warehouse of gold! We clearly mark our prices and don’t make false claims. If you can do this, I will adjust your rating to the same standard as the Iron Heart Warriors..
But you better hurry, because several teams of Iron Heart warriors have also accepted this bounty..”
“No problem, I will recruit more veterans right away. As long as I have money, I can say anything..”
117The captain of the commando grinned like a ferocious beast hungry for food. He bared his teeth and said：
“If we do that, you’ll have to pay your bills with something that will hold its value longer! There are a lot of gold coins in the city these days, and the price of sleeping with that slut selling liquor has gone up so damn much. I don’t understand the secrets of this, but I know there is one thing that everyone wants.
you know what i'm talking about.”
“Burning gold ore？”
The accountant sneered and said：
“Every soldier in this fortress wants to use burning gold as payment. Of course, I can understand your concerns, but the devaluation of gold coins is just a technical problem, and we will solve it soon. If you want burning gold as payment, that’s not the case. no
But you have to show your worth！
Those burning gold are the treasures of the Supreme Lord, and he will only give them to the bravest warriors.
Are you qualified?？”
“You'll find out soon.”
The captain of the commando team was full of confidence. He ate the dried meat in one bite and shouted back to his brothers:：
“Bring the money you earned with your lives, guys, and we'll book a tavern in the trade area tonight and give you the best wine, the best food, and the hottest bitches! Tomorrow morning, we will start a new war.
You have all heard that this time the Supreme Lord will pay with burning gold and wants to get rich overnight. Ha, here is the opportunity.！”
“Good！”
The soldiers who had received their rewards cheered and raised their weapons, and their morale was extremely high..
At the same time, in the throne room that had been cleaned, Supreme Lord Hadran Earthhammer looked at the battle report sent by his most trusted general Bannock Earthforce. He couldn't believe it for a moment. own eyes.
exclaimed the ancient of dwarves：
“After losing the protection of Gaia, our warriors not only did not sink, but also broke out with more brave fighting power? After the Bloodscar clan inexplicably withdrew from the battlefield, it only took them half a day to take back the entire first floor.？
And all we have to pay for this is.”
“There are only five vaults, my lord.”
General Bannock was once a sincere priest of Gaia, but now there is no sign of faith on his body. He leaned on his battle ax and reported to his lord in a loud voice.：
“I have talked with the three largest mineral companies and some medium-sized companies. They are all willing to spend money to support our great national defense war at this critical moment.’！
In addition to your lord's treasury, you now have a full one hundred and sixty-seven treasury as your support. But with all due respect, lord, we can actually have more funds to encourage the warriors to fight bravely..”
The general looked around, approached the lord, and whispered：
“The Great Treasury of the Temple of Gaia.
There is a collection of wealth that the brass dwarves have dedicated to for hundreds of years. My lord, the priests guarding there committed suicide last night. As long as you give an order, the money can be sent to the lord's treasury or used to pay for the army..”
“this”
Lord Hadran was quite hesitant. After a few seconds, he shook his head and said：
“no! That's the money of the Mother Goddess！
Although the Mother Goddess gave up on us, I think there must be some misunderstanding. Don’t touch the treasure house. It represents the reverence of our Brass Dwarves for the Mother Goddess. As long as we survive this battle, I believe we will always have a way to fight with the Mother Goddess. Get back in touch.”
“Well, if that's your will.”
General Bannock shrugged, patted his breastplate and said：
“I will send the most trustworthy people to guard it for you, but with all due respect, Your Majesty, the current situation does not allow you to hesitate for too long..
Once the soldiers retake the Rat Man Tunnel, we will go to war. At that time, you will need more gold to buy the loyalty of the soldiers and citizens. Of course, you have enough gold in your hand..”
“Bannock, my most trusted general.”
The Supreme Lord was uneasy. He held the Gaia artifact war hammer in his hand that no longer responded. He whispered：
“General Ranger and General Songhai accused us of being blinded by burning gold before leaving. I thought about it, maybe we should make some changes, I mean, throw away those burning gold.”
“Are you crazy? Those foreigners simply don’t understand the traditions of our brass dwarves！”
Bannock was frightened and tried to dissuade him.：
“At the moment when Gaia has abandoned us, these fuel gold are the most important strategic materials whether used for defense or offense. The fuel gold itself is harmless. We have spent hundreds of years verifying this..
That is the wealth that the earth has given us, Lord！
You can't be confused！
Now that the Mother Goddess has abandoned us, we can only defend our homeland and our people in this dark moment by holding on to the burning gold..
Isn't it your duty?？
And once the news of your destruction of burning gold spreads, IMHO, the entire newly stabilized city will also be in chaos. The courage that the people have now to protect their property should be used properly by you..
Oh, right！
One more important thing, my lord, after those aliens left our city, the damn warp illusions and consciousness attacks disappeared..”
General Bannock said in a deep voice：
“Now I am very suspicious that the cultists are hiding among those foreigners with ulterior motives. It is those guys who have brought disaster to us! Maybe the Brass Fortress is just implicated, my lord. After all, we just want to make money honestly with our hands. Is there anything wrong with this?？
my lord
No, my lord！
Our fortress has eliminated the last elements of restlessness. Our city is impregnable. As long as we recapture the tunnels, we can stay here for ten thousand years.！
Don't worry about gnolls, as long as you have enough fuel, as long as you have enough gold.”
