Chapter 591: Green Stone Assault Spear
The "Edge of the World Mountains", which stretch for tens of thousands of miles, are like an evil ancient python, sleeping quietly on the vast expanse of the earth, dividing the entire continent in two.
Countless towering peaks make up the sinuous body of the giant python, and the impassable "Thunder Mountains" are only a small part of it.
The "Big Stick Tribe" is located in a deep mountain forest in the northwest corner of the mountain range, which is inaccessible to people, and belongs to the mountain lump that does not even haunt the green skins, so even the overlord "Broken Tooth Tribe" here does not know their specific location.
The other ogre tribes living in the "Thunder Mountains" are also like this, there are almost a dozen of them, scattered in different areas, and the only thing in common is that the scale is not large, and there are only about 100 people who have died.
Their numbers are so small compared to the thousands of greenskins that they have to move to more remote and dangerous areas to avoid conflict, or to become the target of the militant greenskins, and to hunt the wild beasts of the mountains for a living.
This led to a problem, these ogre tribes gradually became more and more distant, and gradually even broke off contact, only occasionally encountering their fellow tribes while hunting, but slowly, this situation became less and less.
The first person to notice that something was wrong was Bagrat, and he immediately ran to ask Bagrat why many of the tribes he had heard and seen as a child had disappeared.
The elder was silent for a long time, and finally said only one word.
"These tribes ...... I'm afraid there are no more. ”
There was only endless sadness in his words, and a trace of imperceptible confusion.
This confusion was captured by the seemingly dull Bagrat, and after repeated questioning, Bayi told him the reason.
The ogre tribe of the "Thunder Mountains" has fallen into a vicious circle.
As the greenskinned tribes, which were already more numerous, were unified and their power became more and more powerful, and those places with many resources were occupied by them, the ogres could only go deeper into the mountains and forests, and their living conditions naturally deteriorated.
Deterioration of living conditions means that the tribe can feed a small population, and if the population is small, the natural strength will be weak, and the weak strength will not be able to compete with the greenskins for resources, and in the end, the conditions will deteriorate further, then there is only one final result, that is, extinction.
The "Big Stick Tribe" is like this, a few years ago, the tribe still had hundreds of young and strong, and after a fight with the greenskins, they hid in the current place, the harsh environment, the fierce beasts and the lack of food are constantly eating away at the population of the tribe, and before you know it, it has become what it is now, and the population is only one-fifth of what it was before.
Bagrat is determined to change all this, and he can't sit still and die.
After losing an eye and becoming an iron cannon gunner, he did not hesitate to choose to go out of the mountains, in order not to cause panic among others, he pretended to go out to eat and drink spicy food, in fact, the purpose was to find a way for the tribe to live.
Being a mercenary is the choice of most ogres, and Bagrat also thought about whether to go to the nearest "Broken Tooth Tribe", but Elder Bayi advised him to go out first, although this greenskin tribe already has the figure of an ogre, but the notoriety of the "Two-Headed Demon King" has long spread among the mountains, and working under him may not be a good thing.
In the end, under the arrangement of some mysterious force, the fledgling Bagrat accidentally bumped into the "Broken Claw Tribe" and became a hero under the stone.
After a series of contacts, including what he saw and heard in the tribe, the ogre made up his mind that this was a place worth putting down roots, so he couldn't wait to come back with the old rotten fang, hoping to convince the people in the tribe to move to the territory of the "Broken Claw Tribe" with him, and life would definitely be much better than now
Even if something happened to the old rotten tooth later, he didn't give up this idea, unexpectedly, after seeing the black orc, the elder Bayi, who had not expressed his position before, also changed his attitude and ordered all the ogres in the tribe to obey his command, which was equivalent to joining the stone in disguise.
And the orcs and goblins who were rescued from the pile of corpses, it was also because of the elder's orders that they were not eaten as food, and as a result, they played a huge role.
What is the name of those human beings? Ginger is still old and spicy!
Elder Bayi is the hottest in our tribe!
When he thought of this, Bagrat was hungry, and he really missed the spicy roasted mushrooms of the "Broken Claw Tribe"!
"Blind brother! Don't drool! It's your turn! ”
A rugged bass interrupted him, and a deep voice echoed around him, unwilling to disperse for a long time.
It was a dimly lit underground passage, with a few flaming torches inserted in the cracks in the walls, barely dispelling the darkness in a radius of several meters around it, and it was possible to see the tunnel.
The height of the tunnel is about the same as that of an ogre, and the width is two or three horses side by side, which is really a bit cramped for these big fat people, no, it seems a little crowded after only a few people stand.
Behind them was a passage with no end in sight, shrouded in deep darkness, and in front of them, illuminated by the firelight, was a thick wall formed by dozens of huge pieces of rubble, blocking the passage tightly, with only a small gap, let alone an ogre, not even an ordinary human could climb into it.
To put it simply, it is a large collapse site.
What these ogres are doing is rearranging a passageway.
The ogre, who had just spoken, handed Bagrat a strangely shaped metal machine, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, and his face was dusty, as if he had just crawled out of a coal kiln.
The main body of the machine was a thick metal cylinder, about the size of the barrel of an iron cannon, with several tubes on the outside, and at the front was a drill bit glowing with a faint green light, and some blood-red iron pieces as embellishments elsewhere.
This strange mash-up style has only one semicolon, and it is the "Broken Claw Tribe" that combines nezumi and goblin technology, a new product independently developed, the Green Stone Tuk Tuk.
No, it would be more appropriate to call it a greenstone rush, after all, the wooden wheeler that was originally used to move is gone.
It usually takes three or four adult rat-men to push and operate the tool, but in the hands of the ogre, it is like a child's toy gun, and it is a little more compatible.
Bagrat took the machine with one hand, walked to the wall, pressed the switch, and the drill bit at the top began to spin rapidly, and when it hit the gap between the stones, it immediately burst into a cacophony of noise, and then quickly brought up large clouds of dust and countless flying pebbles.
This job is really only done by a rough-skinned ogre, otherwise those bullet-like broken stones alone are enough for ordinary people to eat a pot.
In addition to Bagrat and the ogre who was working just now, there were several fat men with the same fat body next to them, some of them moved stones and shoveled soil, and the division of labor was quite clear.
After a while, one of the youngest-looking ogres suddenly asked:
"Blind brother! When do you think this work will be done? ”
"What? You are louder, I can't hear you! ”
The young ogre raised his voice and spoke again, with some impatience in his tone.
"You know the, only by getting through here will we have a chance...... Forget it, you don't know! ”
Bagrat knew that his compatriots had problems with what he was doing, and he could understand it, after all, even he did not expect that the first task that the leader had given him was to run into the ground and make a hole with this strange thing in his hand.
