Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence-Chapter 525 - 12: The Most Failed Butcher in History · Demigod Service · Archibald’s Head Served on the Table
Truly, it’s when things go well that one feels uplifted. The loneliness and solitude Su Li had been feeling for the past few days were swept away with the arrival of the Dwarf Supreme King’s envoy!
He immediately got up with excitement, putting on his shirt while smiling and saying to Hilude, "These dwarves sure take their time. They got the intelligence nearly half a year earlier than the Sulande Province, but ended up arriving almost a month later than Sulande Province!"
When did the news about the Red-Beard Golden Hair Comb get out?
It was when Hilude was still at the Elite Level, leading a treasure hunt team to steal this ancient dwarven relic from the Green Dragon’s nest.
Then, the Redbeard Clan was the first to send this information to the dwarves.
And so, almost three months after the war with the Green Dragon ended, these dwarves finally dragged their feet and arrived.
Hilude kneeled beside Su Li, helping him straighten his pants and coat tails, explaining, "The Silver Road, where the Dwarf Supreme King resides, is really too far from us. Primarily, the dwarf from the Redbeard Clan wasted a lot of time delivering the message. They had to cross vast plains, forests, great rivers, and large lakes, taking over half a year to reach the capital of the Dwarf Supreme King."
"King Solgreen himself considered the matter very important, personally dispatching the legendary dwarf airship, the Thunder’s Fury, carrying their envoy team to our territory; it took them about two months to arrive smoothly."
A legendary dwarf airship!?
Su Li immediately took a deep breath; the dwarves actually sent out such a Divine Artifact Level entity?
Even Su Li had heard about this legendary unit during casual chats with dwarves. After all, dwarves are big talkers; if you chat peacefully with them for less than five minutes, they will start boasting incessantly about their famous historical figures and the incredibly powerful equipment they have made.
The Dwarf Thunder Airship class floating battleship is one of their most renowned units. These equipment pieces do not appear in the ordinary dwarven military sequence, but in the magnificent Chapters of the dwarven "Legendary Age," because these legendary units are too powerful and unbalanced, with each appearance capable of piercing through an entire battlefield.
This war machine’s equipped bomb racks, cannons, and swivel guns can cause devastating damage to any enemy’s lines.
For those opposing the dwarves, fortunately, very few Thunder Airships are ever built, and it’s hard to find engineers crazy or drunk enough to fly something so dangerous.
The Thunder’s Fury airship was constructed by the mad dwarf engineer Sven Hasseflap, being the third Thunder Airship class floating ship to launch from Rapids Castle.
The first one caught fire and crashed during the Battle of Black Valley, while the second one is on a beautiful journey to the Imperial Capital, Terrabheim, and hasn’t returned yet. The third one, Sven’s pride, is Thunder’s Fury. The ship has served in many battles, most recently bombing the mountainside Beastman Knuckle Scraper Tribe, razing it to the ground.
Hearing that this renowned airship was visiting, Su Li was impatient to take a look.
He bent over and gave Ingrid, lying on the bed, a strong kiss on the lips, saying, "Darling, let’s go and see this legendary war machine together. It’s time to return your comb to the dwarves."
The dwarven golden comb has always been worn at the ends of Ingrid’s hair, serving as the best auxiliary tool for a wizard’s cultivation and meditation, enabling Ingrid’s strength to continually grow.
Now it’s to be returned to the dwarves. Ingrid didn’t act like a little woman throwing a tantrum or feeling reluctant. She flicked her silky long hair, took out the comb from the middle, handed it to Su Li, and seriously said, "As long as it can help you get your revenge, I will support you without any reservation."
During this time, Ingrid could feel Su Li’s loneliness and desolation the most. In the day, he trained silently; at night, Ingrid’s soft body comforted his depressed mood.
Now with the news of the dwarves’ arrival, his spirits finally lifted, and Ingrid naturally felt the joy as well.
After getting the golden comb, Su Li took Hilude and the knight’s squire swiftly towards Bauhinia Castle.
When they arrived, indeed, they saw a massive dwarf airship, blocking out the sun, hovering over the castle. The Thunder’s Fury airship is a masterpiece of the dwarves, filled with dwarf characteristics. The ship’s aerodynamic device is a large steam balloon above, covered with a thick layer of metal armor.
Hanging below this balloon is a heavy wooden cabin with the typical angular style of dwarves, with a row of sturdy round shields densely packed on both sides of the cabin.
This legendary airship’s power is unparalleled, possessing a series of unique rules: for instance, when it flies in the air, it can only be charged by flying units, and during flight, it can still fire organ cannons and drop bombs.
Moreover, adorned with cannons, the Thunder Airship is equipped with five organ cannons, with each pair of operators able to fire one organ cannon. Around the airship, there are dozens of dwarves holding Thunderous Firearms, ready to shoot downwards from the air at any time.
But even such a massive and legendary airship could only play a supporting role today. Below the airship, there was a mighty dwarf butcher with an overflowing aura!
