Chapter 102: The Sword of Damocles (Thanks to the birth of the first helmsman!) )

The long-lost pressure reappeared on the shoulders of the stone.

As a boss with thousands of greenskins under his command, any decision he makes now has a profound impact on the tribe, especially this tribe is still built by himself from scratch brick by brick, if he accidentally makes a detour or suffers irreparable losses due to his own mistakes, it will be too big a blow to him.

However, instead of being afraid or repulsed, the stone used it as a motivation to spend more time and energy to fully consider the next big move, instead of blindly making a decision for fear of wasting time.

In the following month, he lived a very regular and fulfilling life, learning to read and write the lingua franca of the continent with Little Bell every morning with Ayigunu, in the afternoon with a large group of orcs to temper his body, and at night he wrote and painted alone in his room, and he didn't know what he was tinkering with.

Finally, in the dead of night, in a stone house deep in the cave, a roar suddenly sounded:

"Lost! Fuck it! it!! ”

Early the next morning, Stone gathered all the goblins and orcs of the "Iron Forge", each armed with his own weapons, and headed straight for the mountain pass north of the territory.

As mentioned earlier, the location of the "Broken Claw Tribe" is surrounded by mountains, which are surrounded by rolling mountains to the northeast and winding rivers to the southwest, forming a closed wasteland with only one mountain pass in the north.

The pass is hidden in the dense woods, and although the famous rabid dog trail is outside, it has never been discovered, and the tribe has been able to develop peacefully for several years.

What the stone has to do this time is to take the initiative to break the tribe's long-standing isolation from the outside world, and he wants to gather all his strength to build a strong fortress here to hold this choke point in and out of the territory!

He did this for two simple reasons, security and development.

For a long time, the tribe used this forest in the mountain pass as the first line of defense, and although this naturally formed barrier could keep most of the passing caravans out, as time passed, there would always be accidents, as was the case with the High Elves in the past.

Naturally, the stone will not forget the lesson of the last time, and has specially arranged for twenty "death creepers" to patrol the forest all the time, but this is by no means a long-term solution.

With the development of the tribe in the future, it is inevitable that there will be contact with more other forces, and even wars, in case of another invasion similar to the "Red Fang Tribe", then these scarce spider riders will not play a role at all.

If there is a large-scale invasion of the enemy, in addition to being able to warn in advance, they can only watch the other party occupy this excellent strategic location, and then close the door and fight the dogs, and eat their own tribe step by step.

Once this happens, the stone will really regret it, and there is no place to escape, which is tragic to think about, so for the current tribe, this mountain pass has reached the time when it must be solved.

It is like a sword of Damocles hanging high above its head, threatening to drop a fatal blow at any moment.

It's not that Shi Shi doesn't know about this, and he doesn't want to care, but because the tribesmen were few and weak in the past, they had no ability to change this passive situation, so in the end they had to retreat and build a loess wall as a defense.

But to be honest, from the current point of view, this city wall would have been eliminated a long time ago, not to mention anything else, if the beastman tribe that attacked Fetanburg attacked again, it would be the level of kicking and falling, the same as nothing.

In addition, with the upgrading of the territory and the growth of the tribe, the space within the original earthen wall was no longer enough, but it became a shackle that restricted the development of "Orgrimmar".

In the stone's plan, in the next few years, all the greenskinned dwellings will be moved outside the earthen walls, and the inside will be the core area of the tribe, and will not be directly open to the public.

In addition, through this battle with the beastmen, Stone also truly realized the importance of geographical superiority in the era of cold weapons.

If it weren't for the narrow mountain road in front of the back gate of Fetenburg, they would not have been able to annihilate each other with such a small loss.

So now as soon as he returns to his own tribe, Stone has the idea of gathering people to build a fortress, such a good geographical location, if you don't take advantage of it, it would be really stupid.

And don't forget, just outside the pass is the Rabid Dog Trail, where countless caravans pass by every day, geese pluck their feathers, and stones want to get a piece of the pie and make some profit for the tribe.

Of course, no matter how much you say, it's all false, everyone knows the benefits, and the most important thing is that Shi feels that the current tribe has enough ability to build a fortress by himself!

So in the last month, he has been studying how to repair this fortress, where to repair, what materials to use, and how to arrange manpower, but after studying for a long time or ignore, he suddenly reacted, since he has to repair, why do you want to do so much, the easiest thing is to look at it while repairing, even if there is any problem, he believes that with so many people under his command, there will definitely be a solution.

He made up his mind to gather all the strongest laborers of the tribe the next day and directly start the first step, which was logging.

Normally, the location should be chosen at the beginning, but the stone has already been thought of, first build a wall along the mountain range outside the pass, seal the passage completely, and then slowly expand step by step.

The immediate priority was to build a city wall because the entire mountain pass was covered with forest. Also cut down the trees first.

This is not a small project, although this forest is not big, but it is definitely not small, about dozens of acres, about the size of five or six football fields, the key is not even the easiest road, the same as the wasteland.

Fortunately, the tribe now has a group of macho men who have nothing to do every day, and they have to start from the south side of the woods, open a wide passage to the north, prepare for future passage and transport materials, and then cut out the location of the city wall.

When the orcs and goblins came to the edge of the woods in high spirits, their faces were filled with displeasure when they heard that they were going to do the boring work of cutting down trees, but the next word of the stone changed their minds.

"The top ten orcs and goblins who cut down trees every day will receive a cup of fungal beer."

He knew that these boys must have enough motivation to work hard, especially the goblins, so he had already prepared, although the beer in the tavern was out of stock, he still had some private collections, and he could only contribute them for the development of the tribe.

As soon as he heard that there was a beer to drink, he immediately brandished all kinds of weapons in his hands and slashed at those big trees as if he were rushing towards the enemy.

The enthusiasm of his subordinates was mobilized, but this logging was not an overnight effort, and during this time, the stone also began to prepare another important material.

That's what the walls are made of.
