Chapter 271: The Stone Monster and the Traitor

All of the gnomes' buildings look like a laboratory, and none of them are the same, even the gnomes' 'headquarters', which is filled with mechanical parts. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"So we only have one artisan section left?" Magni frowned at the Nomori Root map on the metal table.

"And the city engine here hasn't been captured." Mecatok pointed to an irregular square area under the circular artisan area on the map, which Benny knew, and that was the entrance to Norry's follower in the previous life! "It took a lot of money for us to wipe out the invaders there! Our metal floors won't stop the cavemen either, they can burrow anywhere! ”

"Can you estimate how many cavemen there are in the city?" Magni asked.

"No less than fifty thousand!" Mecatok's face was solemn.

"So much?!" Magni took a breath.

"There will only be more." Mecatok sighed. "The whole city is a tunnel they've dug up, maybe they've got the whole group here!"

"I'm in trouble." Magni's eyebrows tufted together. "There are no soldiers or civilians in these monsters, every one of them is a soldier!"

"I don't think the number of people is a problem." Benny said suddenly, leaning down and tapping the map with his hand. "This is a city, not a wilderness, and the numerical advantage will be infinitely weakened here." Benny straightened up. "I've seen those cavemen, they are ----- and heroic, but the individual combat effectiveness is not very outstanding, my soldiers can deal with them easily, as long as we can find a way to prevent them from burrowing everywhere, it is not difficult to completely deal with them."

"These monsters are simply vulnerable." Kael'thas doesn't have Benny's 'modesty'. "Our muskets can easily solve them in pieces! Their clumsy stuff that wasn't a weapon at all could do nothing for our soldiers' shields! We bring 3,000 of the most elite troops! And 500 paladins! I don't think it's difficult to solve them! "Their troops have been tested by war, and Benny's soldiers have swept away the undead and demons of Lordaeron, what threat can a lowly monster who lives underground and has no intelligence pose?

"Indeed, as the two of them said, they don't have much power." Mecatok said. "But they're so numerous, they're so elusive that they can dig a hole anywhere, and there's a steady stream of monsters coming out of it! Our soldiers suffered heavy losses as a result of the attack, and we even lost more than 70% of our army, otherwise we would not have been able to defend our own city! ”

"Let's tell the truth!" Kael'thas held his head slightly high, with the pride peculiar to elves. "I can personally command this battle."

Benny looked at Kael'thas strangely from the sidelines, Kael'thas was proud, but he wouldn't usually do such a 'two' thing.

'Show your strength, and have more leverage in the 'negotiations' in the future, but we came here with a purpose. ’

Benny suddenly heard the whisper of Kael'thas in his ears, and he laughed inwardly.

"So be it." Benny broke the awkward atmosphere by clicking on the corridor on the map linking the Artisan District to the rest of the city. "Our current defensive position is 1/3 of the corridor, and His Majesty Kael'thas and I are responsible for advancing our battle line here with 75 paladins and 1,000 soldiers-----。" Benny pointed to the district to the left of the Artisan District, where he couldn't read the names of the gnomes.

"Flight Zone." Mecatok reminded. "There are factories for the production of aircraft, and there are also factories for the production of tanks."

"We are responsible for advancing the battle line to the Yongdao crossing in the flight area." Benny straightened up. "The corridor is not wide, the battle will not be very fierce, it is very suitable for our soldiers to understand our enemies, after all, we have just arrived here, we can get familiar with the situation first so that we can deal with them, what do you say?" Benny looked at the crowd with a smile.

Magni and Mecatok looked at each other, and they exchanged some glances.

"Is it only your soldiers?" Mecatok asked.

Benny nodded, "Our tactics aren't quite suitable for fighting with allies yet. ”

"So." Magni looked at the crowd. "It's decided! Attack early tomorrow morning. ”

"Okay." Mecatok nodded. "Although this makes us ashamed, our warriors are indeed exhausted, they rarely have a rest, and those monsters are constantly attacking."

"Now, let's talk about another issue." Magni looked at Benny. "Where's McNeil Semapragh, Mekatok?"

"McNeil?" Mecatok was stunned. "He's maintaining our city engine, and the vapor transfer channel there has been leaking a bit lately, what's wrong?"

"Is the decision to close the city your own one?" Magni asked.

"It's not." Mecatok shook his head. "It was decided by the Tinkers Guild, but it was Magnier's push for it, and he persuaded a lot of the Tinkers Guild members, and of course me."

"Was there anything 'not quite right' about McNeil after the city was closed?"

"Something not quite right?" Mecatok was even more puzzled. "What the hell is going on?"

"You answer me first." Magni looked at Mercatok solemnly.

"Not a good place----- "Mecatok said after a moment of silence, "he has been proposing to open the city's emergency radiant water tank after the city was closed and destroy all the stone monsters in the city at once, but I vetoed it. ”

"Looks like we're right." Magni looked at Benny. "Mecatok, maybe something is wrong with McNeil?"

"Something went wrong?" Mecatok's shrill voice was raised in a higher pitch. "What do you mean ------"

"Think about what is so unusual about him since he was locked down from the city."

"Unusual ----," Mecatok's brow furrowed. "Closed cities----- open radiant water tanks----- strongly oppose foreign requests for help------" Mekatok muttered to himself, and he was suddenly startled. "Oh my God!"

"Looks like you get it." Mecatok is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart, but the energy of the gnomes is not at all in these political intrigues, as can be seen from the fact that their racial leaders are called 'great craftsmen'.

"This damn bastard! He betrayed us! "Of course Mecatok understands! All this may be a conspiracy of Sema Prague at all. "I'm going to arrest him!"

Magni shook his head: "He can't carry out such a huge plan alone, we have to find them all out at once!" (To be continued.) )
