Chapter 199: The Ruins of the Green Copper Mine
Soon, Levi meets the greenskins that Wallace calls strange.
In a plain area ahead, at least hundreds of goblins and greenskins were busy, some of them were chopping trees with their crude machetes, and some goblins were constantly carrying some wood and some irregular stones to a cleared meadow, and then some goblins were polishing and processing.
It seems that they are planning to build something there, because a rudimentary base nearly a meter high has been built there, and it is estimated that the area will be at least two or three hundred square meters.
It's just that Levi scoffs at this, because even if the goblins have cleared the weeds, there is still soft grass after all, even if some defenses are built, the flaws will be very large, and they will definitely not last long under the onslaught of the enemy, and Levi also noticed that these green skins don't seem to have the intention of laying a foundation at all, which is even more nonsense!
However, this behavior of the Greenskins has forced Levi to be more vigilant, because according to the materials he has gathered so far, the low-level Greenskins and Goblins are almost undoubtedly violent maniacs, and they only know about destruction, but never construction, unless they are under the orders of a higher-ranking Greenskin commander.
However, according to what Tiemu said, although there were a lot of green skins entrenched here before, they had always fought on their own, and they would rush towards the direction of Blackstone Fort every once in a while, sending a wave of heads.
And in this place, known as the Copper Wasteland, they never built anything!
"Well, Temu, maybe there's some great guy in the greenskins this time, some real leader."
Tiemu is not a fool, seeing the scene in front of him, of course he knows what Levi meant, if there is no stronger green skin to give an order, these green skins who are working all day except eating and sleeping, or on the way to dry the frame, will not take the initiative to do this kind of work.
But he still had a hard time believing his eyes: "But, how could it be? Why? ”
"Look over there," Levi said, holding up his spear, pointing at some of the guys who were standing still and looked noticeably different from the other greenskins.
Tiemu immediately recognized the other party: "It's a barbarian orc!" Damn, they must be enemies running from somewhere else! ”
The greenskins that Levi refers to are some very burly men, covered in all kinds of mysterious oil paint, with their mouths wide open, wielding large axes, and whips around their waists, constantly directing the other greenskins and goblins to work, looking like some overseers.
And because of this, Levi can clearly see its full mouth of fangs.
It's really full of fangs like sharks, but sharks have several layers of tusks, which can cut the body of their prey back and forth, causing a chewing effect in disguise, and this kind of green skin called a barbarian orc by Temu, their fangs are more like planted on the gums.
On the surface, it looks very powerful, and if you bite it, it will definitely leave a bunch of holes, but there are less than 30 in total, and the interval is also very large, it doesn't look like a real carnivorous creature for eating, but more like a pure organ for attack. But there's also the upside to that, they probably never have to worry about stuffing their teeth.
"Savage orcs? Isn't it a product of this neighborhood? ”
"Of course not, these guys are generally the product of the poorer and more chaotic badlands of the southern kingdom of Tyrellle, across a large river, which is the largest territory occupied by the Greenskins. And on the northern border of the Badlands, the area where Greenskins and us dwarves are most at war, hundreds of times more chaotic than we are here! ”
"Oh? Sounds like we're in a relatively safe place here? ”
"That's right, here in the Grey Mountains, we only need to worry about some nezumi, goblins, beastmen, and the occasional undead, but on the Badlands side, there are disgusting greenskins all over the mountains, if it weren't for our High King leading multiple dwarven kingdoms and working together to block them there, I'm afraid the greenskins would have ravaged the entire old world!"
When he said this, Teki's face was full of pride, because it was the efforts of their own people that they had curbed those greenskins who only knew about destruction and destruction, and compared to those greenskins who only knew how to fight all day long, ordinary evil races were really not enough.
"Well, that's thanks to you." Levi responded a little perfunctorily while quickly calculating the enemy's strength.
The total number is about 260-270, most of them are 1st or even 0th order goblins, purely cannon fodder troops, and there are about 60 or so 2nd order orc boys, 30 3rd order orc warriors, and less than a small team, unsure of the specific strength of the wild orcs.
This is the apparent strength of the opponent that Levi observed, with their strength, although they can't be crushed, but it's almost there, and the battle will still be won in the end. But Levi didn't think that the other party only had these troops, because he hadn't found out where the other party's leader unit was until now!
But after continuing to observe for a while, Levi still decided to attack the other party first, because he really didn't find any trace of the other party's leader, although there were many small woods in the distance, but they were also cut down by the greenskins, and they couldn't hide a big man like the greenskins at all, and the leaders of the other party were either hiding in these ordinary greenskins, or they were not at the scene.
If it's the former, then once the battle starts, the other party will definitely be forced out, and if it's the latter, then you just take advantage of the other party's absence to kill its little brother!
"Huameisi, give priority to assaulting those long-range units, Tanato, you take the infantry squires to deal with those elite barbarian orcs, Tiemu leads the troops to attack from the front, the guards Dawei assists Tiemu, I let Xiaopang follow behind, and the remaining melee troops serve as the rearguard, guarding in front of the ranged troops to prevent accidents."
Levi quickly explained the battle strategy, and after the leaders of each squad said that they understood, he immediately raised his spear and waved it fiercely: "Let's go, fight quickly!" ”
The cavalry troops, led by Wallace, soon circled half a circle from the outside, heading straight for the opposing side's ranged units.
Although whether it is a goblin archer or an orc archer boy, the hit rate of their arrows is very impressive, but after all, it is also a ranged unit, and once the number is on the scale, even if the hit rate is low, it has a powerful damage that must not be ignored, and it is a target that must be eliminated with the highest priority.
The greenskins, who were reluctant to work, suddenly had their eyes lit up after seeing the new humans and dwarves, and they threw out all the work in their hands, and before the barbarian orcs who were overseers could react, and without any orders, they roared and rushed towards Huames and the others from all directions.
Although I don't know how these enemies appeared here, they must catch up as soon as possible, otherwise they will be preempted by their own companions, and they will not have their own share!
It's just that they are barefoot after all, and the cavalry of Huames are all mounted, even if the dwarven rock sheep is relatively slow, but it is far faster than the green skin that runs on its feet, and they can't catch up with the enemy at all, so they can only scream in anger.
At this time, several savage orcs slowly reacted, and they took off the long whip from their waists and swung it fiercely at the overexcited greenskins, while cursing loudly in their mouths, but Levi didn't understand what they were scolding at all, probably the language unique to the greenskinned race.
But of course he didn't give the other party this chance, and the melee troops also quickly pressed up, and at the same time, a burst of arrows also rained down on the top of those green-skinned heads, causing pain to the other party, and temporarily diverting the other party's attention: since you can't catch up with those cavalry, let's take these humans in front of you!
The Greenskins thought so, and did so, and they soon collided with Levi's melee troops. The wild orcs were barely able to keep their composure at first, but soon, as the battle began, their eyes quickly became bloodshot, and they couldn't help but throw away their whips and pick up their tomahawks to join the battle.
What is the master's order, what is the construction of the altar, wait until the battle is over!
Levi first threw a few dust curses at the place where the greenskins were most dense, and then turned his head and ordered the elite bandits behind him: "Keep probing, I always feel that the leader of the other party will suddenly come out of nowhere, and then give us a surprise." ”
The actions of the wild orcs confirmed his suspicions more and more, because under normal circumstances, the greenskins are fanatical combat enthusiasts, and they will hardly refuse any battle, whether it is organized or sudden, they will only devote themselves to it with enthusiasm, they are born to fight!
But just now, those savage orcs seemed to have received some order at first, and they were barely able to restrain their behavior, and even wanted to organize the greenskins, which obviously did not conform to the code of conduct of ordinary greenskins, but could only be ordered by someone to do so, and there must be a leader unit on the other side.
"Yes, sir!"
The elite bandit left quickly with a few swordsmen, while Levi continued to command the troops to fight, although the number of enemies was large, but the single combat effectiveness was too inferior, those goblins were far inferior to the night goblins that Levi had encountered in the underground world before, at most they were a number, and the main force of the battle was still those greenskins.
Those savage orcs who are overseers, although their strength seems to be stronger than ordinary third-order orcs, especially in terms of defensive attributes.
They are also a 3rd order of troops, and when they are shirtless, they only have single-digit damage on the top of their heads when they are hard connected to the long sword of the foot combat squire, but relatively speaking, they are not particularly good at attacking, and the number is too small, so Tanato and the others stopped them very easily, but it may take some time to completely eliminate them.
But in other respects, the greenskins have fallen into disadvantage.
The greenskins who were full of blood at the beginning, first slowed down by the frost banner carried by Chubby, and then bound by the sand and dust curse, and occasionally Levi would throw a mad curse, these greenskins were annoyed, because they just wanted to enjoy a battle, but the current battle made them not cool at all!
And as the cavalry of Huamei killed all their goblin archers and orc bow boys, the greenskins became more and more uncomfortable, not only did they have to fight with the powerful enemy in front of them, but also suffered the impact of the cavalry in their backs, and arrows fell from time to time overhead, taking away the lives of greenskins and goblins, which was really unpleasant.
Seeing that Hua Meisi was charging again, and the cavalry troops behind her took the lives of five or six orc boys at once, and Tiemu, who was wielding a double axe in front, also led his troops to slash and slaughter, and the surviving greenskins were suddenly a little shaken.
It's true that Greenskins are born to fight, but they don't just fight for the sake of fighting, they are more for the pursuit of the kind of pleasure in fighting, but when they are attacked by the enemy, they don't feel the excitement of fighting at all, they just die here in vain!
Some of the greenskins suddenly began to leave the battlefield, and with their movements, the goblins who had dared to attack after the greenskins began to run away one after another, although they didn't have many brains, but they knew that there was always nothing wrong with following these big green men!
Then, as if a chain reaction had been triggered, a massive rout began, and even the savage orcs began to panic.
It's just that Levi had specially instructed Tanato and the others before that other enemies could let go, but they definitely couldn't let go of these guys, so even if the barbarian orcs were flustered, it would have no effect, because they had been completely surrounded!
At this moment, two miles away, a group of troops composed of goblins and greenskins began to advance in the direction of the battlefield, and the direction in which they were traveling was obviously with a clear goal, and the elite bandits, who had been on the alert, immediately reported the situation to Levi.
When Levi heard this, he immediately called back the troops that were chasing the enemy, and began to adjust his formation, preparing to fight the new enemy, because he could almost conclude that the old and new groups of enemies were one and the same!
It's just that he didn't expect the enemy's speed to be faster than he imagined, and they haven't had time to kill all those savage orcs in Tanato, the enemy's vanguard has already arrived, and it's some goblin wolf cavalry!
Unlike the goblins that were easily slaughtered before, these goblins seemed to have a cunning glow in their eyes, and they didn't look easy to deal with, but more like the night goblins that Levi encountered in the underworld.
And at the front of the goblin wolf cavalry, there was a barbarian orc covered in oil paint and a razormon under his crotch, compared to the barbarian orcs that Tanatoto was attacking, the guy in front of him was at least thirty or forty centimeters taller, and this for the greenskin, it represented an absolute gap in strength, it was undoubtedly their leader!
"Roar, damn humans, and damn dwarves, you dare to challenge my war pig boss!"
"War Pig Guy?" Levi looked at the other party with some amusement, and he was not surprised by the human language that came out of the other party's mouth, because the other party was obviously not an ordinary 3rd order class, and there was a high probability that it would be a 4th order class, after all, the razor beast itself was already a 3rd order class.
But Levi didn't expect the other party to have such a name, and I have to admit that this is really green-skinned, after all, they are a race that will use their own excrement to pile up god statues, and there is no problem with choosing a simple and rude name.
"Ahhh In the face of Levi's undisguised ridicule, the big man of the war pig naturally saw it clearly at first sight, and it suddenly became a little angry, and it immediately raised its mace with the thickness of an adult's forearm, and waved it fiercely: "Little guys, kill all these guys for me!" ”
With its roar, the goblin wolf cavalry on its side suddenly became bloodshot one by one, and the small eyes that originally looked a little treacherous were all gone, replaced by fanaticism and bloodlust for battle.
Then, along with the big war pigs, they raised their weapons in unison, shouted loudly, and launched a charge at the human forces that were waiting for them.
“WAAAAAAGH!”
