Chapter 523: The New Human Slave
The stone did not stay long in the new "Riptide Fort", and on the third day, a large team set off from here and headed east.
The "Green Prophet" Urzago and some of the Greenskins stayed behind to guard the newly acquired stronghold, and when the stone returned to the tribe, he would send people over to increase the defenses on this side.
It won't be long before the shrimp of the "Border Prince's Territory" will receive the news, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will fight here.
The good news is that because the defenders voluntarily gave up, although it is only a second-level village in the system, the walls of "Riptide Fort" have not been damaged in any way, and its solidity is completely comparable to ordinary green-skinned fortresses.
Shi was also secretly glad that he had not attacked at the beginning, even if there was an ogre gunner Bagrat, a siege weapon, I am afraid that it would suffer heavy losses.
In addition to this, there is an advantage of not storming, that is, the remaining civilians in the city do not have such a strong sense of resistance.
When the Greenskins rushed in, nearly half of the inhabitants had no time to flee for various reasons, and they were quickly captured from their houses by vicious orcs and goblins, and driven like sheep to the square in the center of the city, surrounded by groups.
Some of the grumpy ones who wanted to resist were chopped to pieces without saying a word - the irascible orc boys wished that someone would have trained them, and if it weren't for the leader's insistence that they couldn't kill people casually, they would have turned the city into a corpse-strewn ruin.
In the end, there were about four or five thousand human beings gathered in the open space of the square, which made up half of the population of the entire town.
These people still thought that they were going to gather and slaughter, and their faces were full of horror, but when a black orc man stronger than a beast roared a few times in the imperial Chinese language, everyone squatted on the ground, and the original fear was replaced by doubt.
The stone's words were concise and to the point, giving them five minutes, and those who crouched could live, and those who stood could only die.
At this time, those who remained in the city were either a large family of old, weak, sick and disabled, or slaves at the lowest level who had no personal freedom, all of whom belonged to the most vulnerable group in society, and had no desire to fight.
This is the way to survive in the land of chaos, and those who have the ability and temper will either leave here a long time ago, or they will become a pile of bones, and the rest are people who have been abandoned by the gods, for them, no matter what they do, as long as they live.
Of course, it's not that there are no people who are not afraid of death, and when the time comes, there are dozens of guys standing, and one of them wants to open his mouth to explain a few words, and in an instant, along with the others, he was shot into a sieve by the goblin archers.
In the end, the thousands of people who survived became slaves of the "Broken Claw Tribe", they were allowed to go home, take their luggage, and then gather all the means of transportation in the city, plus the gold and silver goods that were stolen by the goblins, as well as the looted food, all packed up to form a huge team of hundreds of carriages, and left the "Riptide Fort" with the greenskin army.
They were accompanied by goblin raiders, forest spider riders, Broken Fang Guards, and more than 2,000 new orcs to the tribe, while the other orcs and goblin archers, along with the seven thousand new goblins, remained in Riptide Castle.
This arrangement is also to prevent the new greenskins from engaging in any intrigues, separating them, each with veteran checks and balances, and the unrest on both sides will be minimized.
The reason why the stone went in such a hurry was naturally because he was worried about the situation of the "steel rock", but fortunately, the two cities were not far away, and although those humans were very cumbersome, they were afraid of being killed, so they all took out the strength to eat milk, and barely kept up with the footsteps of the green skin, and it only took four days for the large army to come to the "steel rock".
But that's not the end of the story.
The team is going their separate ways.
The stones and orcs remained, and Sgnara and Hawkeye continued north along the "Mountains of the Edge of the World" with the riders and the human slaves, where a brand new town awaited them for two more days.
"Stormwind City", this new stronghold, is in need of a lot of labor to build, and it is precisely because of this that Stone has thought of it that it has taken so much effort to bring these humans over.
Four or five thousand people are just right, too much, and they can't be suppressed over there, and if they are less, they can't play much of a role.
What's even more perfect is that most of these slaves are honest, helpless, and have a good brain, and they have already run away as soon as possible, they are all people who have completely lost hope in life, and when they arrive in a new place, they have food and clothing, and the priest of the "Holy Light Church" brainwashes them, and they will soon forget their previous experience and devote themselves to the construction of the new town.
With them joining, "Stormwind" will definitely usher in an explosive growth, which is a great thing for the entire tribe.
As long as it can develop rapidly, it can not only support each other with "Fetanburg" and "Ironforge Fort", but also reduce the importance of the former to the tribe in another way, in case Fitandila has any other thoughts, at least there are other channels of communication with human society.
However, according to the current situation, the Arabi people should not have any dissenting intentions, and in the future, when "Stormwind City" develops, they are no longer unique, and the stone will not care so much.
Now it seems that forcibly capturing the "Arsenal Fort" is definitely an excellent operation with greater strategic significance than practical significance, and speeding up the development of "Stormwind City" is only a small benefit, and more importantly, it opens the way for the expansion of the entire tribe.
In the future, it will be a bridgehead for attacking the "Frontier Princes", and it will also be the first line of defense for the Horde.
To the north, you can go deep into the core of human activities, to the west, you can threaten the dwarven port "Haimen Pass", to the east, you can form an angle with the "Steel Rock", and to the south, you can have already cleaned up the Northern Badlands.
In addition, it can also be connected with the newly built "Rusty Water Port" through waterways, which can be said to be a place where soldiers must fight for if they can attack and retreat.
If it weren't for Havelock taking the initiative this time and letting the stone find an opportunity, I'm afraid it would have taken a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, the Black Orc Lord's mood was particularly comfortable, but when he came to the city of "Steel Rock" and saw the dilapidated city wall and the big hole in the middle, the good mood of the past few days disappeared in an instant.
But this is not the most troublesome, after all, he is also mentally prepared, the key is the two sabre-rattling troops outside the city, which is completely unexpected by him.
