Chapter 107 Hidden merit and fame

"No, what did you do!"

The leader of the Thorium Brotherhood in the corner of the palace cried out in agony. He never expected that the wise and powerful Iron King would be killed beside his own throne. For a moment, he felt that his world had collapsed.

"Aragorn, stop playing, let's fight quickly and call it a day! Gandalf, come in and clean up the battlefield!" Garen urged Aragorn while waiting for the prompt from the Heart of Origin.

"A legendary hero is found. Do you want to absorb him?"

"draw!"

Then a translucent heroic spirit emerged from Soridor's body, slowly rose up, and disappeared.

After Gandalf came in, he quickly exploded and froze Orphisto into an ice block, then opened a portal. Aragorn entered the portal holding the ice block, and Garen also picked up the body of Emperor Thaurissan. The opponent in the distance also put his warhammer into his bag and stepped into the portal.

Gandalf stayed and disrupted the elemental power in the palace to prevent being tracked by the Dark Iron Dwarf wizards. Otherwise, the group teleportation could only take his own people. Garen's next plan required the leader of the Thorium Brotherhood, so it didn't need to be so complicated.

After Gandalf cleaned the blood on the ground with flames, he also used group teleportation to leave, and peace returned to the palace.

The next day, the guards outside the palace began patrolling, but no one dared to enter the throne. Until a Black Iron Councillor came to discuss matters with the Emperor, and found traces of fighting in the palace. Their King was nowhere to be seen, and he immediately issued an alert!

Not long after, the two most powerful men in Darkforge Castle besides the Dark Iron King led their troops to blockade the Emperor's Throne.

General Rageforge is the commander of all the Ironfury Guard members in the city. He is a qualified general whose lifelong goal is to protect Darkforge Keep and his king. He has a different opinion on the enslavement of the Dark Iron Dwarves, which is in line with the Dark Iron King's philosophy. Therefore, although he has angered his king many times, he is still deeply trusted by Emperor Thaurissan.

The other person is the puppet commander Agmanchi in the city. Unlike General Fury, his position is more inclined towards the Lord of Fire Elemental and he is very close to the fire demon leader in the city. Soridorsen cannot deal with him for a while and can only accumulate strength slowly.

"Did you find anything?" General Nulu was stationed in the West District Barracks. He arrived later than Agermanchi. Although the two had different political views, they had to temporarily unite because it concerned their king.

"There was a fierce battle in the palace. It should be a melee between four people. The fighting level was at least two legendary levels!" Agmanchi himself is also a ninth-level strongman, proficient in dark magic. Although Gandalf disrupted the arcane elements, he could still feel the breath of a strong man in the air.

"At least one person was seriously injured in the battle. The soldiers found pieces of flesh and blood, but they were burned by flames and could not identify what race they belonged to." Agmanchi told everything he knew. This matter might be related to the life and death of the Black Iron Kingdom. This was not the time to make trouble.

"Shaman, a shaman, come and check if anyone is dead here!"

A burly Dark Iron Dwarf stepped forward and carefully felt the interior of the Emperor's Throne. Although the Dark Iron Dwarf Shamans were more proficient in elemental power, they also had some knowledge of souls.

"Report to the General, there are no traces of soul power inside the Emperor's Throne, and there should be no casualties!"

The Dark Iron Shaman's words made the senior officials present feel relieved. No definite news was the best news. At least they could guess that their king was not dead, but just missing at most!

How could they know the power of the Heart of Origin in killing people and taking their souls? It is simply like plucking a feather from a passing goose, leaving nothing behind for you.

General Ragefurnace and the Puppet Commander summoned the city's Dark Iron Councillors, all of whom were great nobles and slave owners in Darkfurnace Keep, and together they could stabilize the situation in the city.

"The Emperor is currently confirmed missing. We must first block the news and secretly send Dark Iron spies to investigate the surrounding forces, focusing on the territories of the Thorium Brotherhood and the Morgan Family, to find our King as soon as possible!"

"The city will be guarded by Commander Agermanch and I, and the councillors will help to appease the people! My lords, Darkforge Fort is at the critical moment of life and death, and our king is missing. I hope we can work together sincerely and overcome the difficulties as soon as possible!"

……

At this time, Garin and his party were already waiting for the arrival of the ship on the east coast of the Burning Plains. During the few days they were heading to Darkforge, the shipyard at Anton Castle had already produced two battleships, and they were sailing south.

Garen wanted to build a small camp on the east coast of the Burning Plains and Redridge Mountains, and establish connections with Morgan's Post and Lakeside Town in Redridge Mountains.

Both areas belong to the rule of Stormwind Kingdom. Back then, the last descendant of Thoradin led a group of people south to look for new lands. They stopped along the way. Some nobles thought this place was good because the land was fertile and no one occupied it, so some nobles stayed to cultivate it.

Along the way, they stopped and started, branched out, and finally Stormwind City was established in Elwynn Forest, and the territory of Stormwind Kingdom was thus established.

However, the pioneers in the northern part of Redridge Mountains were unlucky. The appearance of the Firelord not only destroyed the first generation city of Thaurissan, but also destroyed a large number of human villages.

Misfortunes often bring blessings. Although humans suffered huge casualties, the Fire Lord blew up the Redridge Mountains in half, and a large amount of mineral deposits hidden deep underground were turned up. Apart from the hot weather, this place is extremely rich in oil.

Garin had his eyes on the mithril veins here, so he wanted to make arrangements in advance. When the Hill King was summoned, he could use the camp on the east coast as a support point to help him unify the Dark Iron Dwarves.

While waiting, Garin looked at the following king altars. At this moment, a new instruction had appeared in the altar list.

Summon the King of the Hill!

With the arrival of the heroic spirit of the Iron King, the Hill King had met the summoning conditions, and Garin immediately gave the order he wanted to see.

The King of the Hill on the Altar of Kings has dark skin, a thick black beard tied into two braids, wears heavy plate armor, holds a war hammer in one hand and a battle axe in the other.

Could it be that because of the spirit of Thaurissan, the appearance of the Hill King also tends to be that of a Dark Iron Dwarf?

Garin had buried the body of Emperor Soridorsan, just below the Redridge Mountains on the east coast, while another captive, Ophisto, was squatting in front of the emperor's grave in a daze.

"You have destroyed the Dark Iron Dwarves' hopes!" Garin approached the Dark Iron Dwarf who had lost all his fighting spirit and heard him muttering in a low voice, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or to Garin.

However, Jialin wanted to persuade them to surrender, so he listened carefully.

It turns out that Orphis was not a subordinate of Emperor Thaurissan. They had been in a cooperative relationship from the beginning. The Thorium Brotherhood was composed of a group of highly talented craftsmen and blacksmiths. Creating perfect works was their philosophy and had nothing to do with politics.

The Firelord enslaved the Dark Iron dwarves, and the dwarves of Darkforge Fort became mad and self-degrading. The Thorium Brotherhood changed its philosophy to fight against their former crazy compatriots and overthrow the Firelord's slavery.

But the Thorium Brotherhood was not strong enough until one day, Emperor Thaurissan secretly contacted Orphisto. Both of them wanted to overthrow the Fire Lord and liberate the Dark Iron Dwarves, so they hit it off and became partners.

Thaurissan sent the sane Dark Iron dwarves in Darkforge Hold to the Thorium Brotherhood, and Orphistor also relied on these living forces to form an army and accumulate strength.

Everything was going well until Galinde showed up and ruined their plans!

"You won't succeed. The Fire Demon King cannot be driven out by the army alone!" After listening to his story, Garin poured a bucket of cold water on him.

“But that is our hope, our philosophy!”

"You are just a craftsman, not a politician. You don't understand Soridorsen's little tricks. He just needs a rebel army!"

Garin doesn't understand Soridorsen, but it's never wrong to discredit him!

"The Brotherhood is an organization of craftsmen and should be a neutral organization. Just do what you like. I can help you overthrow the Fire Demon King!"

"You are a human, why do you want to help the Dark Iron Dwarves?" As the leader of the Brotherhood, he did not have much resistance to the help of alien races. The Brotherhood has always done this. When they lack strength, they hire adventurers to help them achieve their goals, and then give the adventurers generous rewards.

This is also the reason why the Thorium Brotherhood has a good reputation among the major forces and is much more popular than their compatriots in Darkforge.

"I have a good friend, the Dark Iron Dwarf, who is determined to save his people from the darkness. That's why I am willing to help you."

"I have already told him about your situation and he is on his way. You two will have something in common!"

Jinli is on his way to this world!
