Chapter 1447: Chapter 749 Thunderstruck Ironstone
“Understood.” The expression on Gray Dwarf Chieftain Yuriu’s face revealed neither joy nor sorrow as he continued, “The other issue is the supply logistics of Dicheng City. The Council of Death Chiefs trades with us once a month, taking away the steel and equipnt produced that month and bringing in the food and water we need for living.
The remaining living supplies in the city can only sustain us for half a month at most.
Reconnecting and repairing the entire high-pressure steam pipeline will inevitably involve frequent testing, which will result in a waste of the internal circulation of high-pressure steam, requiring a large amount of additional water.”
“This is simple. Just tell us how much water you need, and City Lord Shanoba, you’ll be responsible for coordinating with the Flying Dragons to airlift it down.”
Although Colossus Underground City is three to four thousand ters underground, the passageways are designed to the size of Giants, so even the three extrely large Black Wing Wyverns can fly freely here.
This thod is only temporary; those dwarves of Supre Shanata have even prepared underground planting areas, so how could they not prepare their own internal water supply pipelines?
This also requires the operation of the entire high-pressure steam pipeline, as steam-powered machinery pumps driven by high-pressure steam will draw out large volus of pressurized water to supply the entire mine area, naturally including Colossus Underground City.
“It’s easy to coordinate the Flying Dragons, but how to solve the water transport tools? Wooden water buckets beco very fragile once they exceed a certain size, and flying in narrow spaces will inevitably lead to bumps and scrapes…”
“This is simple. In our city, we already have a large number of sealed iron water buckets. All water here must be stored airtight, and we can use these existing tools, modifying them specifically for this purpose.” Chieftain Yuriu turned and provided the solution.
“Then there’s no problem.”
“Excellent, we’ve made a good start.” Gaven turned and looked at Giharin, “Clan Leader, it seems our cooperation can go one step further. I have a proposal for you to consider.”
“Lord Gaven isn’t suggesting that I issue a summons here to all the exiled people of the Tesser Yama Kingdom, urging them to collectively migrate to this place, right?” The Wandering Dwarf King Giharin asked.
“So the Clan Leader has already thought about it. There’s no need for to elaborate on the pros and cons; this is a classic win-win choice. With your help, I can fully operationalize the mine, and you will have the opportunity to gather all your clansn, strengthen mutual bonds, and form military training.”
When the ti is ripe, sending troops to the Tesser Yama Mine will not be late. Believe , by then, the path from here to the Tesser Yama Mine will be straightforward, with all the roads opened by , and possessing more convenient, faster transport solutions.
At that ti, it will only take a few days to send you near the Tesser Yama Mine, applying the swift strategy to the utmost, catching those monsters completely off guard.”
Gaven was not surprised that Clan Leader Giharin could align with him, for if he had visited the Colossus City mine area without this thought, it would have been a dereliction of duty on his part.
Gaven didn’t need Clan Leader Giharin to summon all the exiled Dwarves of the Tesser Yama Kingdom here; even if there were only a few thousand, they could serve as key technical personnel, forming a balance with the Gray Dwarfs, ensuring their role wouldn’t be irreplaceable, which was sufficient for him.
As for whether the Dwarves of the Tesser Yama Kingdom would co here and take over…
Gaven likewise was not worried, because the Gray Dwarfs entrenched in Colossus Underground City, along with the Gnolls led by Shanoba, would counterbalance them.
Mainly, there was still the Council of Death Chiefs watching closely, with the possibility of striking back at any ti.
Before resolving this issue, the Iron Clan, currently recuperating, would never act rashly, at least not in the short term.
If they were still raided even while holding an absolute advantage, it definitely wouldn’t be the enemy’s fault, but rather their own problem.
“Since Lord Gaven does not shy away from this matter, we have even less reason to refuse.” Giharin did not perceive Gaven’s words as exaggerated; quite the contrary, it was the most conservative statent.
He had already conceived a whole new thod of transportation, even though it wasn’t his area of expertise.
The previous high-pressure steam rail cars in the mines, if moved to the surface and paired with the roads constructed by the Conqueror Army, would undoubtedly possess formidable transport capabilities, needing no further elaboration.
The only limitation to how far they can run in the future will be the supply of high-pressure steam.
“How many Dwarves is Lord Gaven able to accommodate here at once?” Giharin was now instead worried about Gaven’s capacity for acceptance.
After all, most Rulers cannot tolerate another full-fledged force taking root on their land.
More than three centuries of wandering have made this Wandering Dwarf King acutely aware of this; wherever he goes, he is always the subject of those Rulers’ close vigilance.
“How many Dwarves can the Clan Leader gather here?” Gaven did not rashly make promises, as he did not yet have a precise understanding of the Iron Clan’s strength. Gathering a thousand Shield Dwarves would certainly not be problematic, but beyond that is hard to say, given their lengthy period of fragntation.
Giharin was silent for a while, clearly calculating, then replied, “At least three thousand, more is hard to say, possibly five thousand, maybe eight thousand, definitely not more than ten thousand. After all, the demise of the Tesser Yama Kingdom has been too long, and many elders have already passed away; more have taken root in new lands.
