Lord Era: I, The Strongest Abyss Lord!

The capital of the dwarves.

"Your Majesty the King..."

Aegis, the Minister of Trade of the Dwarf Kingdom, took out a flag engraved with the logo of a certain lord from his arms, and handed it to the dwarf king in front of him whom he had sworn to serve.

"The alliance partner I'm talking about is a foreign lord."

Hearing this, the rest of the ministers exclaimed.

The voices of traitors and the like are endless.

But Trade Secretary Aegis doesn't care about that.

Because after working together for so many years, he already knew what kind of a bunch of smugglers these yelling ministers were.

"Shut up!"

The dwarf king gave a cry.

"Let him finish."

The king sat on the throne that symbolized Wang Quan, and looked coldly at the noisy courtiers around him.

Aegis glanced at His Majesty the King gratefully, and continued.

"Your Majesty, I know that you have always held a deep hostility towards all other people who came to our plane."

"But is there a possibility that we can use other outsiders to fight against the outsider who has occupied the passage of our kingdom?"

Hearing this, a dwarf minister couldn't bear it anymore and yelled.

"Nonsense!"

"All outsiders, whether they are lords or monsters, they are just peeping at our wealth!"

"Given the chance, they will devour our land and our people to nothing, as His Majesty foresaw."

Hearing what the minister said, the other ministers also agreed.

It's as if they agree that all outsiders are as evil as Wu Wei.

But in fact, they all know it well.

Among the lords who descended on the Trial Continent, a large proportion were not too aggressive.

Instead, they are happy to do business with these dwarves.

From food to ore, and from toys to weapons, they all belong to the scope of their transactions.

But because the illusion brought by the impact of the endless abyss affected the dwarf king, the dwarf king has been rejecting all the trade requests of these lords since the arrival of these lords.

Even, in the recent period of time, he has been extremely hostile to all new lords.

In this case, don't talk about doing business, as deviations and misunderstandings have occurred in the normal communication between the two parties.

Because all the new lords who have come to the trial continent have begun to understand that there are a group of dwarves who are hostile to themselves in the underground of this continent.

So in the endless chain of suspicion, these lords also began to naturally guard against those dwarves.

The atmosphere between the new lords and this dwarf empire has become more and more tense.

—————————————

"That's right!"

Aegis said loudly.

"This group of foreign lords will indeed swallow us up as soon as they have the opportunity!"

"But I have to remind everyone who is doing it."

"It's only when there is a chance that this happens!" Aegis looked around, looking into the eyes of every dwarf.

"And right now, what we're really trying to do is not give them that opportunity."

"Our dwarf kingdom must take action before they are fledgling, strengthen ourselves and weaken the enemy."

Hearing this, the dwarf king narrowed his eyes, looked at the loyal trade minister and said.

"So, your idea is to let us dwarves form an alliance with these foreign lords, so as to strengthen our own strength?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, but it is far from that simple!"

Aegis explained patiently.

"Your Majesty, our dwarf kingdom is strong, but not that powerful."

"Although each of these foreign lords is not as strong as us, each of them can bring us a lot of trouble."

"For example, the monsters who killed General Max's Copper Hammer may very well be a lord behind them."

"Although he has not continued to move forward after occupying the passage of the kingdom, although he can't break through our royal city at all, but..."

The Minister of Trade raised his head, stared into the king's eyes and said seriously.

"If there is a second or third such lord, what will happen to our dwarf kingdom?"

Hearing this, everyone was silent.

Just one lord led the army to attack the Dwarf Empire, and the Dwarf Empire had suffered heavy losses.

Although Wu Wei is the most extreme and special of all the lords, the dwarves don't know it.

The only thing they know is that the lord who occupies the passage of the kingdom has a huge army and the ability to destroy the entire dwarf army.

And if such a lord really appears in the second or third place...then the dwarf empire is likely to die directly!

"What exactly do you want to do, just say it directly, don't keep it up!"

The dwarf king roared at Aegis.

Although the dwarf king looked very angry on the surface, in fact he did not vent his anger on the other party.

Because he knew very well that since Aigis had mentioned this problem, the other party must have a solution.

"We will indeed form an alliance, but the main body of the alliance is us!"

"In addition to forming alliances with these lords, we will also form alliances with more other lords!"

"In other words, we have to fundamentally change our positioning."

"It's like there are countless small towns outside our capital providing all kinds of supplies."

"We provide weapons, ores and services to those new lords in exchange for food, luxury goods and soldiers."

"We dwarves are born craftsmen, and they will not reject this."

"As long as they can gain benefits in trade with us, they will have no other thoughts about us."

"Because even if they want to harm us, the other [allies] who want to continue the trade relationship with us will take the initiative to stop them!"

"The interior of the lords is by no means monolithic."

"That's why we have to open the country and absorb all the lords who want to trade with us to form a common interest group."

"Only in this way can we continue to grow our dwarf empire after more and more lords come to this world."

"My lord, don't forget the teaching of the dwarf god."

"Friends will betray you, relatives will abandon you, only gold and precious stones will not leave you!"

Hearing this, the dwarf king nodded.

"Aigis, what you said is very good."

"But I don't think you'd be a good trade secretary."

Hearing this, Aegis lowered his head and turned pale, while the rest of the dwarf ministers laughed.

"Because you are more suitable to be a prime minister!"

Hearing this, Aegis raised his head and looked at the king excitedly.

"Ministers, have you heard it too?"

"Just do what Aegis says."

"Let's open the country and resume trade exchanges with those lords!"

"However, all the lords who want to trade with us and form an alliance must first meet a condition."

"That is, they must send troops collectively to help us clear out the demons entrenched in the passage of the kingdom!"

This is how the counterattack from the natives of the Trial Continent began.

It comes from chaos, and it must bring more chaos.
