The members of the congregation were silent.

"Master...I don't understand..." someone asked hesitantly.

"My colleagues, I'm sorry to make this decision. But to be honest, I've been thinking about it for a long time." Ashu Rufate spoke in a low voice. "I think everyone understands... To this day, the future of the association is bright. Although there are still some troublesome problems such as funds... but these problems can be solved through everyone's efforts. To be honest, what I want to do within the association has been done. In terms of urban construction, I believe that all colleagues who are good at civil engineering can do things well--it doesn't require me as a half-baked person to help. I want to go back to my own tribe. Because the journey is long, I believe that I can't return for a long time."

He looked around and finally landed on the great founder Miklesco.

“As for my new beer and special ale, as I promised before, I am willing to keep it entirely under the association’s custody when we need funds to build this city that belongs to the association. All proceeds are used to supplement the gap in construction funds. Of course, the same is true for my chamber of commerce. I believe that Master Miklesko will do this very well.”

Miklesco looked a little cramped under his gaze, but he didn't say anything.

"I am absolutely sure that the next time I return to the association, I see a prosperous fortress city. I can fully trust all my outstanding colleagues. I believe that a city belonging to the Association of Engineers will never be worse than others."

"As for myself, I have to fight for another purpose. It will undoubtedly take me a lot of time, but I believe that sooner or later I will accomplish my goal."

If there were a few people trying to keep the master before, they now chose not to speak and just smoke. Everyone present knew what the purpose of Ashu Rufate was referring to. Due to the smooth traffic, the news from Karaz-Karak was easily reached by everyone, as long as they were willing to inquire. As many people know, the Supreme King has added content to the Book of Great Hate, acknowledging that the Lava Clan has priority for revenge for vampires.

"Master Ash Rufate, it is really my honor to be able to gain your trust." Miklesco took a strong pipe and said. "But in this great development of the association, your contribution will never be forgotten by anyone. No, it should be said that your name will never be forgotten by any history books or legends."

"Is this what is called...power trick?" Ashu Rufate asked in his mind.

"That's it." Carrie replied. "Just like I told you before, this Miklesco Master is the key to our plan. Although there are ten big casters, he is the real ruler of the Engineers Association. To avoid his hindrance in combat, you must use a good excuse to keep him behind. In fact, we did this very well, on the one hand, fully utilized his usefulness, and on the other hand, without any adverse consequences."

"As for now... in fact, from the perspective of personal emotions, he does not want you to leave. The ten great founders work together to create a bright future for the association - this is what he hopes for. But please note that feelings are always weak and secondary, and what really determines the relationship between intelligent creatures or interests... is greed and fear. For example, this Miklesko is the best example."

"The best example?" Ashu Rufate asked involuntarily.

"Yes, master. A typical example. For example, just as you don't want him to restrain him during war, he also hopes not to restrain you during construction! So he instinctively hopes that you will stay away from construction work, which is why he proposes to keep looking for mineral veins... This kind of work does not require a large group of people, but it takes a lot of time and energy, making you completely unable to care about other things. Please note that this is not because of his careful planning, or even a specific idea in his mind. If you propose the fact that he deliberately excludes you, he

It will definitely be a big deal, and the gamble will swear that this is a creation of nothing. These vows are also true. This is just an instinctive tendency - an instinct that even his own reason is not aware of. Because you have won great fame and status for yourself in the war, you have already gained prestige against him within the association. In this case, if he wants to take the construction of the city - such a great and glorious work - into his own hands, he will consciously or unconsciously exclude you." Carrie's voice seemed to mock him. "In fact, obeying instinctive arrangements is often correct."

"But," Carrie added, "isn't this what we need?"

Next, they discussed the details of future construction work and conducted a detailed study on road construction issues. Many people believe that building underground passages is the right way, just like the dwarf tradition. However, several masters, including Miklesco and Asurufat, firmly believed that it is more appropriate to build surface roads. Especially considering that cities will be in a state of "residing while living" for a long time in the future, surface roads have many advantages as temporary substitutes. The final result of this debate was that the "road faction" led by Miklesco had the upper hand and convinced others.

Late at night, the meeting was over.

Ashurufate walked out of the camp. Because the camp was very close to the ancient ruins, he could see the huge fortress city from afar. At present, it is still a ruin, and almost everything was destroyed, so even Green Skin did not choose this place as a nest. But as long as a few years - Ashurufate confirmed that in just about one year, part of the area here can be initially renovated and able to live in. In just about three years, this place will be built according to the architectural standards of contemporary dwarves and will be quite large. About ten years, it will not take even such a long time, and this place will become a prosperous city for dwarves.

But this has nothing to do with him anymore. What Asu Ruffat has done here has been done. For a long time, he didn't have to worry that the dwarves would be unfavorable to Sivania. He would even say that as long as the city was built on track, his alcoholic trading could bring him a steady stream of additional income. It should be said that there is nothing to regret.

...

The war on recapturing the Western Peninsula permanently occupied a place in the historical records of the dwarves.

This is a true legend. A living, in reality rather than in legendary myth. A dwarf unit, which is not particularly large, relied on courage, wisdom, and flexible diplomatic skills and excellent mechanical equipment to defeat and eliminate enemies twenty times more than themselves, seized their long-lost homeland, and dismantled the threat of greenskin (at least part of it). Since then, the dwarfs have escaped the greenskins of the peninsula and were able to use their limited power to use

In other directions, this legendary story was circulated among the dwarves. In the years that followed, the dwarves and green skins still fought cruel tug-of-wars in the mountains, fighting life and death for the control of the land and the future of the race. This legendary story has always been an important factor in inspiring and supporting the fighting will of the dwarves. Many dwarves believe that the war in the peninsula fully proves the power of the dwarves, and when courage, belief and wisdom are combined, they can overcome all difficulties.

I don't know how many dwarves claimed in the tavern that they were once a member of the Avengers and received a free beer. The soldiers who really participated in this war also regarded this war as an unforgettable experience for their lifetime. Especially those veterans, who always like to mention this war from time to time in front of their younger generations, and emphasized that compared with the rampant green skins in the peninsula, the enemy in front of them was simply vulnerable.

The Supreme King realized his ideal—at least part of it. Although he was hit hard by Prince Hoga’s death before, the recovery of the peninsula finally proved his wisdom and wisdom. Now, in the view of ordinary dwarves, the war to recover Karak-Grom was not a real failure. Because in this war, the Supreme King’s initial goal was green skin, and the army led by Prince Hoga did accomplish this goal and once recaptured Karak-Grom. As for the collusion between rat men and vampires, it was completely an accident, an extremely unpredictable disaster, which was no different from accidents such as earthquakes and volcanoes.

The victory of the Battle of the Peninsula allowed the Supreme King to erase many records in the "Book of Great Hate", and the final liquidation of countless crimes committed by the Dwarves by the countless green-skinned crimes against the dwarves. All these records were satisfied by the Supreme King after sufficient evidence was obtained. Of course, according to the tradition of the dwarves, even if these records were cut, they could still be distinguished so that future generations could see this record clearly to alert them. In addition, although the peninsula was actually ruled by the Association of Engineers, it was still considered a satellite city in Karaz, Karak under the name of the Supreme King.

The Engineers Association can be said to be the biggest beneficiary of this war (of course, it is also the biggest promoter). Facts have proved that the association was the right choice to take out all its belongings to prepare for this war at the time. The Engineers Association is the first of many associations in the dwarf society to have a completely independent territory. However, in the eyes of senior members of the association, this is completely commensurate with the status of the Engineers Association. In the following years, the number of applications to join the Engineers Association has always been a small problem that has troubled the association officials. And each association member believes that the next big caster selection event will inevitably be an unprecedented event and will never be as petty as before.

The great founder Miklesko is still the head of the association's specific work, and he also fulfilled his duties perfectly. Everyone believes that with the efforts of Master Miklesko, it is only a matter of time for the Engineers Association to restore the glory of their ancestors, and the infinite glorious prospects are waiting for them. The various tactics adopted by the association in this war were compiled into specific books and became a very guiding tactical classic in the dwarf army. The members of the association also gained more status as a war, especially in the war. Since then, although the examples of engineers serving as generals are rare enough to be ignored, they are not considered a fantasy. Even the most stubborn dwarf veterans have to admit that if the engineers really go on the battlefield as generals

When fighting, they were indeed "can come up with some fresh ways". In addition, the new weapons that emerged in this war were quickly popularized, and soon, the Greenskins tasted the taste of the dwarf's firepower. The lethality of the flowering bullets even made some superstitious Greenskin tribes think of it as a magic. If there is any regret in this regard, it is the "Dragon Terminator". Although this kind of crossbow has excellent accuracy and powerful lethality, it has never been popularized on a large scale because it is extremely difficult to manufacture. Many kings and clan leaders are proud to have a "Dragon Terminator", because this weapon can effectively kill the Greenskin leader and even turn the world around on a key battlefield.

As for the great caster Ashu Rufate himself, he also got what he wanted. His courage, wisdom and sacrifice (especially money) became a topic of relish for countless dwarves. Although he had not worked within the association for a long time, he was always regarded as one of the core members of the association and had the common respect of all members of the association. His chamber of commerce and his "Shane" brand beer and ale were further developed under the management of the association, and even became a wave that swept the entire dwarf society. The hot sale of "Shane" brand wine, coupled with mineral excavation and fixed trade with humans, the Engineers Association finally built their new city faster than anyone imagined.
