Chapter 106: The shrimp goes south, and the green skin goes north
After a long, silent winter, the snow melts, everything recovers, and it's mating season again.
In the blink of an eye, time came to the year 2430 of the imperial calendar.
As in previous years, in the autumn and winter that had just passed, the knights who were rampant on the territory of the Frontier Prince had stopped again, and they had already returned to their respective bases with their serfs before the golden ears of wheat covered the fields, as for the green mushrooms? Anyway, it can't be killed, or the autumn harvest of the territory is more important.
As soon as the farmers returned home, they began to pick up their sickles to harvest the wheat, and the nobles on the other side also seized the time to hold a grand banquet and call friends to drink and have fun together.
For both the former and the latter, time is precious.
No, spring is coming, and the green mushrooms planted last year are ripe and ready to be harvested again.
However, this year is a little different from previous years, and at the beginning of spring, the city lords of the border prince have made a big news.
Although the "Broken Claw Tribe" is isolated from the world in the mountains on the edge of the world, due to the existence of a traitor, the stone was able to receive the news as soon as possible.
At Ironforge, the orc lord, who was significantly stronger than before, released the carrier pigeon in his hand and let it continue to Orgrimmar before returning to its master's seat of Fetanburg.
Now it is the No. 1 Mercenary Regiment in Fetanburg, and Rip, the leader of the "Forgive Mercenary Regiment", wrote very clearly in his letter.
A month ago, under the leadership of a few of the most powerful towns, the human forces of the Frontier Princes formed an organization called the Northern Frontier Alliance.
Among the more famous are Akendorf on the edge of the "Gloomy Forest", Zandres in the central "Valleka Hills", Fort Gunhouse in the south, and Zolak and Matoka in the west.
There are also a number of new bases established by the Bretonnian Expeditionary Knights in recent years, and in short, the mostly slightly famous human forces are among them, with one exception.
That is the ally of the stone, Fetenburg.
This town, founded by the descendants of the Arabis, did not receive any invitations and was simply magnificently ignored.
To say that with their great economic power and superior geographical location, they should not be excluded in any way, but if this is the case, then it is obvious that they are isolated by other people, or in this naked way.
Yes, a town made up of humans, in such a chaotic place infested by many races, should be abandoned by its own kind.
Presumably, after receiving this bad news, that Matthew Halifax City Lord should be very tormented.
Shi personally likes this bearded man very much, after all, he is still a serious ally with himself, and he has to rely on the protection money he pays every year to give his children teeth.
Of course, Matthew has not been idle in the past two years, according to Rep's intelligence, he has been trying his best to inquire about the so-called mysterious forces in the north, with ill intentions.
Stone is not surprised by this, this person is not an honest person, last year he sent someone to follow the convoy of the "Forgiveness Mercenary Group" escorting supplies, but was killed by Stone with the orc boys, and not a single one was left alive.
However, Matthew knew that if he couldn't bear it, he would make a big plan, and this year, like no one else, he still paid tribute on time, and all the 100,000 golden coins were converted into various materials by Rep and entered Orgrimmar's warehouse.
In the face of such an ally, how could the stone not like it, as for him to send someone to the north to inquire about the situation, then casually, anyway, he can't get any news, if he wants to doubt, then doubt it, as long as he doesn't dare to tear his face openly, for the tribe, this gold coin is equivalent to falling from the sky, and he can earn an extra year is a year.
Of course, the stone will not completely ignore it and do nothing at all.
Because they wish that Fetanburg would be isolated, the more they are isolated and excluded by other forces, the more they need to find an ally like the "Prince of Arthas", and the more they dare not easily tear up the agreement with the Broken Claw Tribe.
For this purpose, the stone still made some small movements behind his back, not to mention, maybe this isolated incident had something to do with it.
Under the propaganda of some people with ulterior motives, there have been rumors circulating in the border prince that Fetanburg is making some dirty deals with the greenskins, and some people even say that two years ago at the city gate, he saw Matthew talking to a greenskin shaman with his own eyes, and he also released all the greenskin slaves in the city, and the shaman also took the green mushrooms to help him repel the attack of the beastmen, and he said that he had a nose and an eye.
It is estimated that it is precisely for this reason that this so-called "Northern Frontier Alliance" dares to exclude them so blatantly, and perhaps when the Greenskins are resolved, the next target will be this pagan fortress that has occupied the choke point for many years.
It's a pity that the information sent back from Rep is not detailed enough about this new organization, only that it seems to be a loose offensive and defensive alliance, and it doesn't say who is the leader, anyway, it's just a slogan, calling on the humans of the border prince to unite and expel the greenskins together, and even they directly announced that they would gather a large army to go south at the beginning of spring and drive all the greenskins out of the border prince's territory.
According to the mercenary leader's guess, there should be a shadow of Bretonnia behind this alliance, otherwise these towns that have been in charge for many years would not have been able to realize such a high level of consciousness all of a sudden, and only a powerful force organized behind it would be possible.
Seeing this, the stone frowned slightly, he didn't expect this Bretonnia to hide such a trick, if he really let him unify the chaotic land, it would not be good news for the future development of the tribe.
Fortunately, in addition to the news from the human side, he has recently received a lot of news about the greenskins from some wandering greenskins who have newly joined the tribe, and he knows that it is not so easy for these human shrimps to realize the slogan.
Coincidentally, like these human forces, the greenskins have also made a big move recently, and they are ready to fight with these shrimps.
However, these green skins are not the natives of the border prince's territory, to be precise, the latter has been killed, and they are all newborn recruits, and they can't become the climate, and the stone says that there is a new force to join the battle.
These new forces come from the southern side of the Frontier Prince's Territory, the stronghold of the Greenskins, the Badlands.
It has been a few years since the chivalrous war against Bretonnia and the expedition to the frontier prince's domain, and the greenskinned tribes scattered all over the badlands have finally received the news that they have begun to prepare to go north as soon as they hear that there is a fight in the north, and they do not need any organization at all.
Humans go south, green skin goes north, stones can be imagined, a big war is about to break out, maybe this year.
The funniest thing is that neither side seems to know that the other party is also ready to fight, and only the outsider, who can receive information on both sides, knows that the border prince is going to be lively.
But none of this has anything to do with him, the "Broken Claw Tribe" for many years can be said to be too low-key, except for occasionally sending some Squigg jumpers to the other side of the passage to check the situation, he even stopped the big retreat plan, and his mind was all focused on one thing, that is, to repair the city wall.
Not to mention those orc boys during this time, even the stone himself was in a panic, otherwise the people who met Matthew last time would not have killed so cleanly.
Fortunately, the bitterness of this day has finally come to an end, and it is estimated that after waiting for another ten days and half a month, the city wall will be completed, well, there will definitely be another big carnival at that time, just to try the newly researched high-grade distilled liquor of the red hair and red feet.
Just when the stone was thinking wildly, a long-lost text box suddenly popped up in front of him.
