Woo!
An impassioned sound rang across the battlefield.
Immediately after, the cavalry outside the flying castle, who had been preparing to attack, withdrew their formation at once and quickly landed on the ground.
When the dwarves inside the ancient castle saw this, they immediately let out a sigh of relief.
One after another, they lowered the bows and magical staffs in their hands.
“Is Asgard retreating?” “Hurry up and leave, you murderous executioners!” The dwarves leaned against the base of the walls and muttered quietly.
All of them were guessing what the Asgardian soldiers would do next.
Very soon, a loud and clear voice suddenly rang out.
“Respected dwarf masters, please do not attack.
His Highness Wells, the biological younger brother of His Majesty Odin, has words he wishes to say to you!” Hearing that voice, the dwarves whispered furiously, “What is there to say?
If you have the ability, then attack your way in!” Although the dwarves said this, they no longer dared make loud noise, because the Nine Realms did not have the custom of killing envoys.
If they killed Asgard’s envoy, then the two sides would become enemies who would not rest until one side was dead.
No amount of time would erase the hatred between them.
Before long, news came from the dwarven palace.
“His Majesty has ordered that His Highness Wells must not be harmed!” Hearing this news, the dwarves all nodded and did not dare hold even the slightest objection in their hearts.
One had to know that this war fortress was the work of the dwarf king’s ancestor, while the divine hammer outside was His Majesty’s own masterpiece.
In the hearts of the dwarves, their king was the greatest deity in the world.
Likewise, he was also the greatest blacksmith in the Nine Realms.
A voice came from the flying castle.
“By my king’s order, Prince Wells is invited up for a discussion!” “These dwarves…” Hearing those words, the many Asgardian generals shouted angrily, “They really don’t know their place.
They actually want His Highness Wells to go up personally!” Within the Nine Realms, Asgard was a major power, while the dwarves were only an existence near the bottom.
In the hearts of the generals, the status of an Asgardian prince was higher than that of the dwarf king.
“No matter…” Leon did not care about this at all.
He comforted the many generals, then rode his horse toward the ancient castle.
Before long, Leon arrived in the sky.
He shouted toward the ancient castle, “I am the biological younger brother of King Odin.
May the person in charge of the dwarf race come out for a discussion!” “I am the king of the dwarf race!” The moment Leon finished speaking, a figure over two meters tall appeared on the castle wall.
That person wore heavy armor and a golden helmet.
His weapons were one or two massive axes, and he looked extremely mighty.
Weren’t dwarves all supposed to be short?
Why was this guy even taller than me?
Leon sized up that person’s height, then said with a suspicious expression, “You’re a dwarf?” The dwarf king raised his brows.
“Enough nonsense.
Speak directly!” “All right, all right…” Leon no longer wasted words and went straight to the point with one sentence.
“Your Majesty, a few days ago, your dwarf race slaughtered my Asgardian soldiers without cause.
How do you intend to explain this matter to me?” “What do you mean, without cause?” The dwarf king’s eyes widened.
“It was clearly Asgard that started the trouble.
There was absolutely no way that batch of weapons could have been defective…” Leon shook his head and directly interrupted the dwarf.
“Your Majesty, saying that is not right.
It was clearly you who killed several hundred of our people… Forget it.
I am not a politician either.
Let us not dwell on this point.” Leon changed the direction of his words.
“My royal brother Odin cares for the lives of the people in both realms and truly does not wish to start another war.
Therefore, as long as you admit your mistake to my royal brother and guarantee it will not happen again, we will withdraw our troops and will no longer disturb the dwarf race from now on!” “Admit fault…” Before the dwarf king could speak, the dwarves on the city wall cursed angrily at Leon.
“Asgard’s king and our dwarf king are equal in status!
Why should our king admit fault?” “These Asgardians clearly cannot break in, yet they act like victors.
Truly disgusting!” The dwarves inside the castle were furious.
Ignoring their image, they pointed at Leon and cursed loudly.
“Impossible…” The dwarf king snorted coldly.
“Do not think I don’t know what you’re thinking.
This war fortress was established by my ancestor.
It has complete stores of food, supplies, and military equipment, and it gathers the wisdom of generations of my dwarf race.
Outside, there is also my great hammer, Mjolnir.
This city is an impossible fortress to conquer!” Mjolnir?
So these dwarves call Thor’s weapon Mjolnir!
Leon looked at the dwarf king with a strange expression.
The hammer in the sky that contained the power of thunder was none other than Thor’s future weapon, Mjolnir.
When Leon first saw it, he had also been extremely shocked.
In the Marvel movies, Thor’s weapon was indeed made by the dwarves.
It was forged from materials extracted from the core of a dying star, and its power was enormous.
Leon said softly, “Impossible to conquer?
Aren’t those words a little too absolute?
Setting aside everything else, that broken hammer outside of yours—I have a way to take it away at any time…” “Impossible…” After Leon finished speaking, the dwarf king seemed to have suffered humiliation.
He glared angrily at Leon.
“Mjolnir is not something just anyone can lift.
Even though I am its master, I feel that even I am still not qualified to use it!” Leon smiled knowingly and sighed inwardly.
The dwarves’ brains really still aren’t good enough.
Leon put away his smile, then said expressionlessly, “Your Majesty, since we are idle anyway, why don’t you take a look at Asgard’s ability?” The dwarf king looked at Leon suspiciously.
“What exactly are you trying to do?” “Wait for me.” After saying that, Leon rode his horse back to Asgard’s camp.
After jumping down from the horse’s back, Leon bowed to Odin and said, “Elder Brother, it is ready.
As long as you do as I said, you will definitely be able to resolve Nidavellir’s problem!” Odin raised his brows, looking somewhat hesitant.
“Wells, are you… truly certain?
I can subdue that hammer in the sky?” It was not that Odin did not believe his biological brother.
It was just that what Leon had said earlier was far too unbelievable.
He could easily subdue that hammer in the sky?
What kind of joke was that?
That was the dwarf king’s proudest work.
How could an outsider like him easily take it away?
The more Odin thought about it, the more absurd the matter felt.
Leon said firmly, “Definitely.
In the Nine Realms, no one is more suitable than you, because you are the future lord of the Nine Realms!” Thor had not been born yet, and Hela was not here.
Aside from Odin, Leon truly could not think of anyone qualified to wield this divine weapon.
As he spoke, Leon smiled and bowed deeply to Odin.
Seeing this, the generals under Odin looked at one another, then knelt on one knee.
“Your Majesty, you are the future lord of the Nine Realms!” Odin seemed to be ignited by this scene.
He said nothing more and leapt forward, flying straight toward the hammer in the sky that was surrounded by thunder.
Seeing a figure fly toward the hammer, the dwarves said with trembling voices, “Is he not afraid to die?” “Madmen!
Madmen!
All Asgardians are madmen!” The dwarves inside the castle seemed to explode into chaos.
They shouted loudly, their voices spreading extremely far.
Earlier, the cavalry who had tried to approach the ancient castle had been turned to ash by the hammer with only sparks of electricity.
Yet now, someone was actually flying straight toward the hammer.
In the eyes of the dwarves, these Asgardians were all madmen.
“Ah!” After that person flew into the sky, the thunder hammer actually had no reaction at all.
Seeing this scene, the dwarves’ expressions changed.
When they saw that burly man grip the hammer in one hand, all the dwarves opened their mouths wide and looked at him in disbelief.
“How is this possible?” The dwarf king’s face turned deathly pale.
His entire body trembled as he stared at the man in the sky.
That was a weapon he had forged with his own hands.
In his understanding, no one in the Nine Realms was qualified to use that hammer!
“Cough, cough…” Leon coughed heavily, then quickly gave a general a look.
“Oh, oh…” That general seemed to understand something.
He nodded like he was pounding garlic, then shouted loudly, “His Majesty is mighty!” The soldiers seemed to receive a summons.
They shouted toward the sky at the top of their lungs, “His Majesty is mighty!” “His Majesty Odin is mighty!” The morale of the Asgardian soldiers soared.
They excitedly waved their weapons and expressed loyalty to their king.
The dwarves were the exact opposite.
Their faces were filled with dejection, and they looked as if they had lost all will to fight.
Whoosh!
At that moment, Leon no longer rode the pegasus.
He leapt up and returned to the opposite side of the dwarf king.
Smiling, he said, “Your Majesty, surrender.” This time, Leon no longer said anything about having the dwarves apologize, because it was no longer necessary.
The dwarves did not even have the slightest desire to fight.
This was the perfect time to subdue them.
Leon said unhurriedly, “You have not lost to Asgard.
You have lost to my elder brother.
The person who subdued the thunder hammer is none other than my elder brother, Odin!” At the same time, Odin also arrived beside Leon.
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Leon.
“Dwarf King, surrender.
After you surrender, I will still treat you with the status of a king.
You may have your own army…” “In the future, the force standing behind the dwarves will be Asgard.
Within the Nine Realms, no one will dare bully you again!” Because Nidavellir was the first realm Odin conquered, Odin did not dare propose overly harsh conditions.
Hearing Odin’s words, Leon also fell silent.
In his view, these were already very good conditions.
They could keep their kingship and still have an army.
Their autonomy would still be very great.
The dwarf king opened his mouth.
“I…” “Dwarf King, you must not!” Space seemed to twist.
A black hole formed, and before long, a handsome man wearing golden armor walked out from it.
He said to the dwarf king, “With me here, the dwarf race does not need to surrender to anyone!” Odin’s expression changed.
“Gullveig, you are courting death!”
