Chapter 62: The Other Side of the Mountains (Ask for Recommendation Votes~)
I'm going to go! Is there really an iron ore? And an underground passage?!
Stone, who finally received the news of the old goblin, was overjoyed, and he didn't care about his subordinates, so he asked for details on the spot.
The two goblin spider riders took the kettle thrown by Rep, looked at the human shrimp suspiciously, and took a big gulp of water, and then you and I told what had happened, sentence by sentence.
It turned out that the exploration team not only found a suitable quarry, but more importantly, they actually searched for the open-pit iron mine that Skipp was talking about!
The iron mine is not far from the lumber yard, but it takes a lot of time because it is surrounded by dense forests and is inaccessible.
When they found it along the river, they didn't immediately return home, but carefully searched the neighborhood under the leadership of the old rotten fang, and then made an even more astonishing discovery.
It turns out that this open-pit iron mine is not unmined, to be precise, not far from it, there is a huge pit that has been abandoned for many years!
And that's not all, at the bottom of the pit, they find another underground passage leading to nowhere, and more importantly, a long-abandoned dwarven fortress underneath!
This was once a low-stacked mine!
Hearing the news, Shishi, who had always prided himself on being calm and calm, couldn't help but change his complexion, and repeatedly asked about the authenticity of the news, and the answer he got was a well-made metal flask.
The flask was large and heavy in the hand, and in the middle of the jug was a relief of the head of a dwarf, with rough lines and lifelike, which was clearly in the style of those low buttresses.
According to the Spider Rider who brought the flask, this is what they picked up in the abandoned fortress, and there are many similar small items, which are supposed to be left behind by the original residents.
The pits, the underground passages, and this flask, the old rotten tooth was right, it was indeed a dwarven fortress!
Lose! I didn't expect that so close to my own tribe, there was a base for a dwarf battlement!
Stone is a little scared when he thinks about it, but fortunately this fortress has been abandoned, otherwise he would have to be neighbors with these stubborn dead dwarfs, and I am afraid that he will not have peace for a day.
There's an old green-skinned saying, what's going on? Only a dead dwarf is a good dwarf.
There's not much time to complain to him, and the story of the spider rider is not finished yet.
After discovering the underground pit and the underground passage, the old rotten tooth thought that he couldn't just go back, he had to figure out where the passage ended.
So he continued with the Death Creeper, and it took another five days for him to finally get out of the dimly lit passage and see the light of day again.
When they came out, they found that they were still in the middle of a forest, but they had reached the other side of the mountain, that is, this underground passage ran through the whole mountain.
Cautiously walking out of the woods, Old Rotten Tooth was surprised to find that as far as they could see, at the foot of the rolling mountains, there was a faint sight of a town.
Although it was still a little far away, he recognized at a glance that he was familiar with the surrounding geography for a long time, and this was Fetanburg, a small city built by human shrimp.
This small city is firmly guarded by the Rabid Dog Pass, and it is a checkpoint for caravans entering and exiting the border prince's territory and the Rabid Dog Trail!
From this, it can be judged that they have not only walked out of the mountains on the edge of the world, but also come to the east of the border prince's territory, on the territory of human shrimp!
Figuring out where he is, the old rotten tooth can't help but be afraid for a while.
Fortunately, this end of the passage has been abandoned for many years, and it is surrounded by towering trees, and the entrance to the cave is also covered tightly by overgrown weeds, and it has not been discovered by local residents or passers-by, otherwise "Orgrimmar" would have been overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of the human army.
Think about it, if it weren't for the natural danger surrounded by mountains, how could your own territory escape the clutches of these shrimps.
Worry is worry, but the old rotten teeth are not small.
On the one hand, he sent two spider riders back the same way to report and inform the leader, and on the other hand, he prepared to take the other goblins to reconnoiter on the spot to see if he could find more information.
That's what happened to the goblin rider before he returned.
Hearing the experience of the exploration team these days, the stone finally breathed a sigh of relief, no wonder it disappeared for so long, and it took a long time to run to the territory of the shrimp to spread wild.
After making sure that his men were safe and sound, he asked the spider rider to take a break to recover his strength, while he quickly turned his little head to prepare for the next step.
Unexpectedly, a digression casually said by Skip before his death involved so much important information.
Open-pit iron ore ...... Dwarven Fortress...... Underground Passage...... Fetenburg ......
This series of seductive words is like precious pearls, which are connected by the old rotten tooth and sent to him.
It's just that what is the color of this necklace, whether it is true or not, and whether it will become a white silk hanging from a hanging beam in the end, it is up to the stone itself to verify.
While it sounds like everything is going well now, only those in the middle of it know the thrill of the process, and in any case, so far it can be considered good news.
It's all thanks to the old rotten tooth who led the team, so he was able to deal with it so comprehensively, that is, the final reconnaissance operation was a bit risky, but don't die by yourself and give birth to other incidents.
After about half an hour, Stone gathered three of his followers and Rep and held a meeting on the spot to assign tasks.
Without further ado, he was ready to set off immediately and go to the mine himself, in order to ensure that he could reach it as quickly as possible, except for the spider rider who led the way, only Rep and Hawkeye were two mounts together.
The Great Bear returns to the camp first, gathers all the fart laborers and goblin cannon fodder, and then rushes to the timber yard with the banner, where he will be picked up and sent to the mine together.
The rest of the people are also arranged, Skarsnik has the heaviest task, he has to take the fart and to guard the house, and the redhead and red feet can help from the side, and take care of the little bell by the way.
Before leaving, the stone also told the bear one more thing, that is, to go back to the wooden house and bring a large package next to his bed, which would be useful when the time came.
After making sure that everything was in order, Stone stepped on the wolf, sat down behind the goblin, summoned the Spider Rider who had just rested for a while, and the newly recruited hero Rep, and ran together towards the majestic mountains to the northwest, despite the former's whispered complaints.
…………
The five of them traveled day and night, and did not even stop to rest when they passed by the timber yard, and went directly into the vast forest.
The Spider Rider on the flat ground is noticeably inferior to Rip and Hawkeye, but once in the jungle, it's their world.
These "Death Creepers" are a special class of troops that Stone acquires when they reach LV5, and are a special cavalry unit composed of forest goblins.
Don't look at the small scale of the "Broken Claw Tribe" and few green skins, but it has already gathered three subspecies of goblins: night goblins, big goblins, and forest goblins, each with its own strengths, and it can be said that there are many talents.
Among them, forest goblins, as the name suggests, are a group of green-skinned goblins that live in the jungle.
They are numerous and can be found throughout the Warhammer world, and their shadows can be seen in almost every dense jungle.
These insidious creatures often hide deep in the forest, and when they come together an army, they will come out of their nests and launch ferocious attacks on the nearest human settlement, the most notorious of which is their spider cavalry.
Forest goblins excel at raising giant spiders to rideable size, and while these eight-legged mounts can't run like other creatures, they can walk on the ground and fly in the unique environment of the jungle, then kill enemies with their pincer-like jaws and venom.
Every Spider Rider is a master of tracking and ambushing in the jungle, and only the best beings will be awarded the title of "Death Creeper", and the stone is lucky to draw such an elite unit.
Even if they were the best of their kind, the two spider riders and their crotched companions were exhausted after days of long journeys, but luckily, their destination was finally reached before they were about to reach their limit.
