Chapter 1448: Chapter 749 Thunderstruck Ironstone_2
“Even I can’t estimate how strong their desire to reclaim the kingdom is, nor can I be sure how many will co thousands of miles to Colossus City, after all, this isn’t Tesser Yama.”
There is an undeniable sense of bleakness in his words.
This is the sorrow of exile, Giharin right now doesn’t even know how many dwarves are willing to heed his call, willing to fight for him.
Gaven comforted him, “From now on, this situation will undergo a fundantal change. Gather as many clansn as you can, Chieftain, because once the battle for the kingdom comnces, our hopes can only be pinned on those who respond to the call. Those who don’t respond can be disregarded.”
He ntally estimated that there would be around five thousand dwarves in Colossus City.
This number is enough to get the entire mining district operating at full capacity.
Given that dwarves in Tesser Yama Kingdom couldn’t possibly all serve him, even if this number increased by one or two tis, it would not be a big issue.
If there were more, it would not be a matter of acceptance but whether Giharin has the capability.
This Everlasting Kind, like the elves, has never been known for their numbers, with low fertility and a long maturation cycle, as dwarves reach adulthood at forty.
Giharin provided a maximum estimate of eight thousand, based on the Thunder Blessing of 1306.
This year is also called the Year of Thunder because the greatest historical event on Felen Continent was the great Dwarf Main God Moradin bestowing His blessings upon his people, causing an unprecedented surge in the birth rate of the Firewine Race.
Since then, the new generation of dwarves has generally been called the Children of Thunder, and after the Thunder Blessing, close to a fifth of dwarves were born as monozygotic or dizygotic twins. They are called Thunder Twins, sharing a bond and ntal connection far surpassing ordinary dwarves.
Now is the ti when the first batch of Children of Thunder are coming of age and stepping onto the historical stage, Giharin’s two sons are Thunder Twins born in the Year of Thunder.
“This matter cannot be rushed, many of our enterprises cannot be abandoned.” Giharin pondered deeply, “This matter requires at least several years to fernt.”
“Naturally.” Gaven nodded knowingly, “Our mining district restart is also a gradual process. For now, Chieftain, just assist in gathering a few hundred exceptional dwarf miners, mainly to help Chieftain Yuriu restart the high-pressure steam, first ensuring that all treasures are transported out and fully utilized.”
“That’s simple, in less than ten days, I will dispatch three hundred dwarves.” Giharin stroked his thick, white beard, “Does our previously signed equipnt purchasing agreent still hold?”
The situation has completely reversed now.
It’s no longer both sides holding onto strategic resources that the other needs. Gaven’s demand for their weapons and armor has not just drastically reduced; soon Colossus City will beco the largest steel and equipnt production base in the entire Felen, severely impacting the whole industry.
Originally, common equipnt that was sold sparingly now needs to be massively offloaded, or it will easily beco dead stock.
“This is the second matter I wish to discuss with Chieftain. As for prior inventory, Chieftain can see that I no longer need common equipnt temporarily. I hope to change the original agreent into special custom equipnt and rather precious magic equipnt.
Regarding common equipnt sales, I have a win-win collaborative approach. I believe Chieftain has heard rumors about the major TUN Nomads invasion.
I have already reached a cooperation agreent with His Majesty King Yasan. I will purchase various munitions, and they will handle transportation to the frontline. If Chieftain is willing to join, I can offer half of my benefits.”
This move, Gaven had used back when he was establishing himself in Rocklands, known as the white-wolf deal.
In this transaction, the equipnt would co from Iron Clan dwarves, while sea transport would be handled by the Koer Kingdom fleet. His only investnt was networking, rely bridging the gap, allowing him to earn 25% profit without spending, probably the most lucrative business deal in this world.
Don’t think Gaven lost 25%, in actuality, it’s pure profit.
The funds he saved are redirected to purchasing military necessities like grain.
If his influence is strong enough, he might even popularize this model elsewhere, for instance, with the Paladins of the Hamr of Holy Light Abbey. They would be very keen to join.
“It’s a deal.” The Wandering Dwarf King Giharin agreed swiftly, neither haggling with Gaven nor trying to bypass him to directly cooperate with King Yasan, monopolizing Gaven’s share.
Often, relationships are the greatest resource.
In this Wandering Dwarf King’s view, Gaven deserves this part of the profit.
If it weren’t for this Conqueror acting as a middleman, they wouldn’t dare easily trust King Yasan with transporting thousands of pieces of equipnt.
In the face of profit, especially a large one, so-called benevolence becos very fragile, scarcely withstands, ultimately strength is all that counts.
As Gaven suspected, he had heard the news but only dared to tread carefully, unlike Gaven who could massively invest because he lacked absolute military assurance.
Now with Gaven’s connection bridging the gap to the Koer Kingdom, they can clear out the entire stockpile, sell everything, then relocate operations to Colossus City, including so equipnt not imdiately needed.
