To reclaim their ancestral lands, the three Dwarf kings, who were located in the three mountain ranges, gathered in one place.
The place where continuous lightning struck was the Thunder Mountain Range, which had the closest relationship with the empire among the three Dwarf kingdoms.
Kugugung!
In the midst of terrifying lightning strikes,
One of the three kings opened his heavy mouth.
"In the past, the Azrak Goldmine was the pride of us Dwarves."
As Gold King Togglak of the Fla Mountain Range began to sing, Gold King Hocken of the Storm Mountain Range spoke.
"Gold was produced endlessly. Until the gold veins suddenly ran out. But now, humans have taken over that land?"
The last one to speak among the three was Gold King Grom Stark, the ruler of the Thunder Mountain Range and the organizer of this gathering.
"That's nonsense. We were the owners of that land in the past, and we are still the owners now."
The three kings nodded their heads and decided to montarily forget about the trivial old stories.
"I know that many things haven't been settled yet. But at least we can't let those human bastards take our things."
"I agree. The Azrak Goldmine must belong to the Dwarves in the past, present, and future."
"If we reclaim that land, we'll divide all the gold that cos out of it into three equal parts."
Each of the three kings said a word and looked at each other's faces.
If more words were spoken here, the three would return to a state of war without agreent.
However, since no one raised an objection,
The three kings reached a tacit agreent, and soon after, they each began to command the armies they had brought.

The Goldmine War broke out in the Montefeltro territory following the Dwarf's declaration of war.
However, there was no major chaos.
Thanks to Rockefeller's quick response, many imperial troops, including the Papal Army, had already gathered in the Montefeltro territory.
Rockefeller, who arrived at the Montefeltro territory at the ti the Dwarves declared war, was able to et Andrew, the second in command, who joined the imperial army to reclaim the Montefeltro territory.
"Andrew! You've grown so much. Now anyone can say you're an imperial officer."
Andrew Rothsdici, whom Rockefeller had not seen often since he graduated from the military academy, was now a distinguished officer.
Seeing Rockefeller, Andrew quickly got off his horse and hugged him.
"Rockefeller hyung! I finally see you! I've been so busy that I couldn't pay attention to my family, and I've been worried about you for a long ti."
Rockefeller laughed and said, "What's there to worry about? I'm the one who's been more worried. So, how's military life? Is it bearable?"
"I'm doing alright. But you, hyung, have really changed. I can hardly recognize you."
Andrew looked at Rockefeller's luxurious clothes, which were now fit for a nobleman.
"If I had known this would happen, I would have followed Joshua and learned about the bank business under you. I regret choosing this path back then."
"It's not too late now. To be honest, I wish you would quit the dangerous military life and co here to help with the family business. It's better to have a family mber help with the work than an outsider, right?"
At that, Andrew smiled and replied.
"Then I'll think about it. I thought being an officer would be fun, but it's not that enjoyable here at the bottom."
"That's right, it's a relief to see you looking healthy. What about Stella? Weren't you with her?"
"Oh, Stella went to see the lord. She'll co to see you with later."
"Don't worry too much about it. You have to act like a soldier if you're a soldier."
"No, I still have to greet you at least."
Afterwards, Andrew, who was talking with Rockefeller, saw the troops coming from various parts of the empire and asked Rockefeller.
"By the way, are all those troops your work, Rockefeller? I've seen troops being mobilized while traveling through various battlefields, but I've never seen so many gathered like this."
Andrew was amazed at the sight of even the Papal Army, realizing the power of his elder brother.
"I called them all. We can't let the Dwarves get away with declaring war like this, can we?"
"That's true. But there are so many magic stone tanks. I've seen so many on my way here."
"That's my work too. As I ntioned in the letter, I own 50% of the magic stone tank factory."
"50%... My peers would be surprised if they heard that. Having just one is enough to turn the enemy's camp upside down, and if our family holds shares in the factory that produces them, it's truly amazing."
The imperial army couldn't even afford that many magic stone tanks at once.
In other words, the power of the Rothsdici family was that great.
"Recently, I've been wondering why the commander has been strangely looking at , who is nothing... But after seeing your power here, it's quite convincing. Hahaha!"
Rockefeller, who also laughed, said the sa thing as always.
"That's why I'm telling you to quit the military life and co back here. I'll take care of you so much that you won't be able to compare it to your ager salary. You can learn the missing parts by following , right?"
"I'll think about it. Lately, my qualifications have been bothering , but I have to do my best until the end."
"Alright, I'll respect your choice."
