Mountains on the edge of the world, Fort Ironforge.

The Greenskin Stronghold, which had been depressed for nearly a month, has been reactivated by the return of the stone.

You know, he brought back more than 8,000 greenskins this time, except for more than 100 Squigg jumpers, everyone else came to this huge mountain fortress for the first time, and it was also the first time to really set foot in the core area of the "Broken Claw Tribe".

Five days ago, Stone led the men back to the Iron Rock, and after making sure that the surrounding area was still calm, he left Old Rotten Tooth behind, Mogru, and Hawkeye to guard the fortress.

The one-eyed goblins will continue to guard the city gates with the old team of the original tribe and three thousand goblin archers, and the goblins will patrol outside the city with goblin wolf riders who have expanded to two hundred people to find out information.

The rest of the new tribe's green skins were taken away by a wave of stones, and they still took it with themselves, and only after a period of testing could they really be regarded as their own people.

Originally, he had almost taken away all the green skins that could be fought in the territory this expedition, and now it was the emptiest time, with the addition of these fresh blood, with a little adjustment, his strength was much stronger than before.

Like the "Ironforge Fort", there are only a few dozen mining goblin cannon fodder and a bunch of working fart boys, and the other is Sgenara and his twenty "Death Creepers", oh yes, and two more, but their combat effectiveness is completely negligible.

Fortunately, the second brother Mao can cover it, everything is normal in the territory during this time, and there are no accidents, even the most worrying "Thunder Cliff" side, there is no movement at all.

After all, it's next to the world-famous Rabies Trail, caravans come and go, not to mention the bandits, it's not a peaceful place.

But for now, at least, it seems that the neighbors are silent about the sudden appearance of the brick wall, or they are secretly waiting for an opportunity.

Anyway, now that the stone has returned, there are so many more battle-hardened boys under his command, no matter what demons and monsters, as long as someone dares to make a move on their own territory, then they will be called Daddy!

……

If you want to say that the most excited thing after the stone comes back, it is naturally the little bell, he is not there during this time, and the little girl who is in the stage of the bear child has long been bored to death, not only her, but also the chaos dwarf Ayigunu, from the smile on her goose egg face, it can be seen that she is in a good mood now.

This month the two of them can be regarded as dependent on each other, the fortress used to be full of green-skinned boys, although there is little intersection with each other, but at least it will always be lively, usually tired of reading, you can also go to watch the bloody rugby game.

It's good now, as soon as the stone leaves, the huge cave is instantly deserted, and the only leader left, the forest goblin Signara, is still the kind of iceberg cold man who can't let go of a fart with a stick, they have long been suffocated.

Fortunately, in the past two years, Stone has bought a lot of books and equipment and materials from Fetanburg through Rep, which he used to do some basic experiments.

Don't look at the little bell is only eight years old, and she is also a genius girl, in the first year of Ayigunu's teacher, he was proficient in listening, speaking, reading and writing in the lingua franca of the mainland, and began to do some simple experiments with female dwarves, learn to draw drawings and so on.

In the past six months, they have also targeted the improvement of the manufacturing process of green bricks and cement substitutes, and this month they have rebuilt the brick kiln with fart sappers, which has greatly improved the efficiency of brick production and made outstanding contributions to the development of the territory.

Of course, the stone who learned the news was very happy, and there was a feeling that the child had finally grown up and become sensible, and he was worried that the territory would be made by her again when he came back.

In addition to the growth of the little bell, the stone received another piece of good news from Repner through the carrier pigeon.

The news was about why the human coalition retreated suddenly, as he guessed, an accident happened, and it was not small, in just a few days, it spread throughout the border prince's territory, and began to spread to other places, and everyone who heard about it was shocked, and the stone was no exception.

As it happened, just as the Northern Frontier Alliance army was fighting the Greenskins in the south, a human town called "Stesia" near the "Gloomy Forest" was suddenly attacked by the Beastmen to the north of the Frontier Prince's Domain.

Since most of the army in the city was led by the lord and joined the coalition army to the south, the empty town did not hold out even for a night before it was overwhelmed by the beast tide.

According to the rumors, not only was the entire city razed to the ground, but what was even more terrifying was that the Beastmen seemed to have held a sacrifice to the evil gods of chaos there, and the sacrifice was the lives of the five thousand inhabitants of the city.

As soon as this terrifying news came out, the human alliance that had just won the battle immediately fell apart, and some of the lords whose territory was located in the north immediately left the camp with their own troops and returned to their own territory after witnessing the tragic situation of Bella, the lord of Stesia, vomiting blood and fainting on the spot after hearing the news, including the strongest Duke Durant.

Who knows where the Beastmen's next target will be, and the Greenskins have been defeated anyway, and no one wants to be the second Bella.

Sure enough, the Beastmen, who had benefited from it, did not stop there, and they turned on another more prosperous town, which was Durant's "Arkendorf".

Fortunately, the border princes led the largest city with strong walls, and although their army was not in the city, they still resisted the attack of the beastmen with their towering walls, and waited for the return of the large army.

Seeing the thousands of troops rushing back, the beastmen did not drag the mud and water, and directly began to retreat in an orderly manner, as for Durant, seeing that his hometown was fine, he did not dare to rashly lead the team to pursue, and could only watch them retreat into the dark and dense forest.

According to him, the beastmen were ruled by a monster with huge black wings on its back.

It's the "Dark Omen" Marago!

After reading the news brought by the carrier pigeon, Stone breathed a sigh of relief on the one hand, after this lesson, the attention of the "Northern Border Alliance" must have been attracted by the beastmen, and it is of course a good thing that its own "Steel Rock" will not be attacked on a large scale in a short period of time.

But on the other hand, the stone also smelled a hint of conspiracy from the whole thing.

He could know that every move of the human army was due to the presence of Rep, but why did the Beastmen also know how they suddenly appeared in the empty north and wiped out an entire town in one fell swoop.

Coincidental? The stone does not believe it, there must be something wrong with this.

Thinking of the previous events in Fetanburg, the stone felt as if a giant hand was operating all this, and the Northern Frontier Alliance, Fetanburg, Marago, and Greenskin had all become pawns on the chessboard, at the mercy of it.
