Chapter 154: The discovery of the nezumi warehouse
Hawkeye didn't know why the army of human shrimp had suddenly retreated, but he was sure that it wasn't a trap, as they had gone so thoroughly, and many of the troops had already gone their separate ways.
In addition to this, he also arranged for some of his own wolf riders to follow them separately and from a distance to make sure they didn't turn back.
After listening to his description, the stone also felt that there should be no fraud in it, but he couldn't figure out what caused these human shrimps to voluntarily give up the "steel rock".
It stands to reason that this fortress has always been their main goal, and there is no reason to be satisfied after defeating the Greenskins army, and it is normal to pursue after victory, and this is also their first action after the establishment of the "Northern Frontier Alliance", and they should take the opportunity to make a name for themselves and attract more other forces to join, how could they not even see the face of the "Steel Rock" and withdraw by themselves.
The more Shi thought about it, the more strange he felt, but this was a great thing for his own tribe, and he didn't bother to bother with it, it was estimated that there must be some unknown accidents in the middle, and it would be interesting to see if there would be any information on Rep's side in the future.
Since the humans are gone, he is not afraid of what these thousands of greenskins will do, so he let them all in, and provides them with some stone houses to live in, which immediately won the favor of these tired and half-dead boys.
By the next morning, the greenskins who had come to the Frontier Prince's territory from the badlands were ready to continue south and return to their tribes.
Before they left, Stone made a special remark, to the effect that he was very grateful to them for coming to fight with the shrimp, the original "Red Fang Tribe" had been wiped out by the rat people who suddenly appeared, and these rat people were solved by their own "Broken Claw Tribe", so from now on, they are the new owners of "Steel Rock", and they are all their friends.
He hopes to use these green skins to spread the name of his tribe, for the green skins, fame is a good thing, the greater the fame, the more boys will be attracted to join, only when the fame is to a certain extent, can you set off a real aaagh! This is an irresistible temptation for any greenskin!
Of course, in addition to this false name, there are also some surprises in this operation, that is, there are still four or five hundred orcs who did not leave, but for various reasons, they chose to stay directly in the "Steel Rock" and become a part of the "Broken Claw Tribe".
Some of them were because the boss of their tribe had been killed, some because they thought the stone was big enough and strong, and some were simply conquered by the good wine of the tribe.
Of course, this kind of good thing is long, and he happily accepts these new little brothers, just like the two thousand orcs of the "Red Fang Tribe" before, and does not make arrangements for the time being, and will talk about it later.
Without the threat of the human shrimp army, the stone can finally make time to go to the underground nezumi lair, and if you don't go to the tens of thousands of nezumi corpses, they will stink, which will be the rations of the nezumi captives for a period of time in the future.
Therefore, as soon as the greenskins from the Badlands left, Stone immediately took action, leaving Old Rotten Fang and Moglu to defend the city, and took the children of the original "Red Fang Tribe" to go underground, so that they could see what their original stronghold was like, and he also had to completely solve the problem of the placement of the prisoners below.
Thanks to the old rotten teeth and Mogru, he can leave with peace of mind, the former is experienced and old, and the latter's attributes are related to defending the city, plus there are a thousand orc boys, a thousand fart tyrants and four thousand goblin archers, I believe that as long as the human army does not pour out, with the geographical advantage here, no one will be able to break through this fortress in a short time.
…………
The Greenskins, who had always been fairly large, were advancing in the underground tunnels, about 4,000 people, half orcs and half goblins, each dragging a large cloth bag, as if fleeing.
These bags weren't a good thing, they were all nezumi corpses.
They followed the big stone and soon made their way through the underground tunnels to the nezumi lair.
Since officially occupying the "Iron Rock", Stone has been able to see all the information about this new stronghold in detail through the strategic map, including the intricate tunnels underground, just like he did with other strongholds in the territory before, so he can easily find the nearest way to the rat's nest without leading the way.
When these green-skinned boys came to the cave that the nezumi had spent hundreds of years digging out, they were all shocked by the huge and terrifying underground city, and this time they completely realized that if there were no stones, even if they could return to the "steel rock" in time, they might not be able to defeat these nezumi.
Especially when they followed the stone through the large and small buildings like the slum, came to the square in the middle of the cave, and saw the dense rat-man captives, even the orc boys with big hearts couldn't help but feel worried, they love to fight, yes, but these rat-men may not be too many.
Not to mention them, even the stone himself was a little embarrassed to see so many rat people, and as soon as he met with the greenskin who stayed behind, Big Bear and Simu came up to vent their bitterness with the leader.
It turns out that there are many more rat captives in the entire lair now than there were before he left.
After they bet 10,000 nezumi down, they were idle and bored, and began to sweep the nest again, and cleared out more than 5,000 nezumi at once, plus the initial 20,000, and suddenly reached more than 35,000.
Although these timid rat people are quite honest, although Si Mu brought more than 1,500 green skins down, so that the total number of green skins guarded has reached 2,000, they are still a little worried about what accidents will happen, especially now that there is a shortage of food, these rat cubs are so hungry that their eyes are green, if they don't give them food, they are afraid that there will be chaos.
Fortunately, at this time, the stone finally came, and also brought some "food", but this is not a long-term solution after all, so many rat people consume an astronomical amount of food every day, and how to manage them in the future is also a troublesome matter, you can't arrange thousands of greenskins as guards for a long time, I believe that no greenskins want to stay in the dark underground cave.
By the way, except for the night goblins, but there aren't so many night goblin kids now, and besides, their combat effectiveness is not low, and it's too wasteful to be guards.
So both Simu and Big Bear suggested to the stone that they should simply kill all these rat cubs, and it would be a hundred.
When the stone heard this, he shook his head decisively and refused, he had his own plans to keep these rat people, but he couldn't think of any good way to take care of them at once.
But these nezumi had to be kept anyway, for the simple reason that he had found something in the clan warehouse, which was the main reason why he had come down in person.
Stone didn't say anything, and directly took the two leaders, as well as some obedient nezumi people, including Gosko, to the clan warehouse guarded by a team of goblin spearmen.
When the door to the darkroom was opened, everyone saw crystals emitting a dim green glow from the entire room.
Dimensional Stone! One room of dimensional stones!
