Indeed, they were on the same side, but only because their interests aligned at the moment, not for eternity.
If they wanted that word to become a reality, they would need to engrave a blood covenant deep in their souls, which would reassure Otto.
Initially, he hadn't figured out how to seize this opportunity, but perhaps the Mountain Dwarves were about to help him out.

"Increase the deployment of reconnaissance troops! Keep a close eye on the movements of the Mountain and Black Iron Dwarves."
After some thought, Otto added, "Accelerate the construction of the underground tunnels and notify the Black Iron Dwarves in the Sulfur Mountains to speed up their transportation. I will find a solution for the Mountain Dwarves!"
The old lizardman obediently retreated, while Otto laid down on the Blackstone Platform, closing his eyes and brooding.
